The Town of Golden has gone through its annual financial audit, and senior auditor David Adams has some positive news to deliver to coun-cil.

"Every major indicator has improved over the last three years in Golden," said Adams during a

presentation to council last week. "A lot of that is due to prudent financial man-

agement."Two years ago, the net debt for the municipal-

ity was around $1.5 million, and now it is down to about $100,000 says Adams. Not only that, but the Town's assets have also increased, and now amount to $6.1 million, most of which is made up of cash.

The largest liability the Town has at the moment is long term debt, currently totaling just over $3 million. The payment schedule has the municipality paying off that debt up until 2029.

Members of council will be going over the aud-it statements in more detail at the next Stand-ing Committee on Finance meeting with Chief Financial Officer Lisa Vass.

Financial audits show improvement in Town books

Golden’s Early Learning and Care Stakeholder Action Group (ELCSAG) can now apply for the fund-ing they have been waiting for.

Child-care providers throughout the province are encouraged to apply for a total of $14.8 million in major capital funding to create new licensed child-care spaces for B.C. kids. Starting last week, non-profit child-care providers can apply for up to $500,000, while private child-care organizations can apply for up to $250,000. Funding can be used to:

* Build a new child care facility, including the cost of buying land or a building.* Assemble a modular building and develop a site.* Renovate an existing building.* Buy eligible equipment (including playground equipment) and furnishings to support new child-

care spaces in an existing facility.Preference will be given to applications that will create child-care spaces in underserved areas of

B.C., such as Surrey, Abbotsford and Langford, and on school grounds, where children can smoothly transition from early years programs, to the classroom, to after-school care. Construction is expected to begin this fiscal year.

Golden’s early learning and care hub, which would be built as an addition to Alexander Park Ele-mentary, fits all these criteria, and ELCSAG has been waiting for an official list of funding criteria since last year. Although the project was moving forward with or without this funding, ELCSAG was happy to see the provincial government make this kind of commitment to early learning. The Golden project had been on the ministry’s radar since last year’s UBCM.

Applications will be accepted during three intake periods:* May 2 - June 30, 2014, Sept. 1 - Oct. 31, 2014, Feb. 1 - March 31, 2015Under the B.C. Early Years Strategy, the Province aims to support the creation of up to 1,000 new

child-care spaces between now and March 2015, and will also invest $17.1 million next fiscal year for an additional 1,000 spaces.

This will build on the approximately 104,000 spaces that government currently supports through-out B.C.

Since 2001, the Government of B.C. has invested more than $35 million in major capital funding to help community partners create more than 6,500 licensed child-care spaces.

Today’s announcement coincides with the start of Child Care Month in B.C., a time to celebrate the work of thousands of caring and committed child-care operators and early childhood educators across the province.

The B.C. government is also recognizing the extraordinary work of child-care providers by proclaim-ing May 15 as Child Care Provider Appreciation Day.

Not So Close, I Don’t Know You!Perhaps you can comment about the bad habit of so many drivers following too

close to the car in front of them. In order to combat this I have decided that, if I am unable to actually see the licence plate on the car following me in my rear view mirror, I activate my four way � ashers. If the driver of the car following wakes up and backs o� , not every time I must say, it might help those rear end crashes.

Like you, if someone is close enough to my back bumper that I am uneasy, I will turn on my hazard � ashers, slow down slightly and move to the right edge of my lane. They generally pass me immediately and I would much rather have them in front of me where they are easier to monitor. More often than not they quickly pull ahead and no doubt � nd another driver to endanger leaving me to continue in relative safety.

I wonder that you did not raise the issue of those drivers who change into your lane in front of you leaving no margin for safety. Perhaps one could expect this behaviour if tra� c was heavy, other drivers failed to leave su� cient room between vehicles and ignored your signal announcing a desire to move over. I often � nd it happening when the road is relatively unoccupied and there is no reason to move so soon.

Do you think that there is a driver out there who has not heard of the two second rule? They may even be aware that in some circumstances that three, four or more seconds are needed for safe following distance. The problem is in putting this knowledge into practice and realizing that if you don’t, you are a bad driver.

The 23 page survey that was put together by the Age Friendly Community Plan Task Force received more responses than they had expected, which was an encouraging sign for the task force’s leader Ryan Watmough.

“I’m excited that so many people found this to be worthwhile and I hope that the task force can hon-our their participation, draw some strong conclusions and create a good age friendly community plan,” said Watmough

The goal of the task force was to receive 100 submis-sions but they ended up receiving approximately 190

responses both online and on paper, Now the task force is awaiting the survey’s results,

which are expected to be revealed at a meeting tomor-row (May 8) morning.

The survey was targeted for individuals aged 50 and over and focused on questions about what the World Health Organization named as the key features that make a community “senior-friendly”.

Features of a senior-friendly community include accessible and affordable transportation, a variety of social participation opportunities, affordable, access-ible and well-built housing, and pleasant outdoor spaces and public buildings that welcome citizens of all ages.

Survey participants were asked to rate their satis-

faction with what exists in Golden and to also declare how important they felt each category was for the com-munity.

“In the end, if something is deemed very important and people are very dissatisfied about it, that will help us immensely in setting priorities,” Watmough said.

The task force will continue to meet until June and its goals in the coming weeks are clear.

“Now we need to start setting priorities and create a plan that’s meaningful not just for the Town of Golden but for the entire community of all ages,” Watmough said.

Check back in the Golden Star for updates as the age friendly project continues, and for the results of the survey.

April in local government world means Area Association meetings throughout the province. In the Kootenay/Boundary area, elected officials attended the Association of Kootenay Boundary Local Governments (AKBLG) Annual General Meeting on April 9-11 2014 in Creston.

The mission of the AKBLG is to “promote effective, responsible, and accountable local government for the benefit of all citizens in our member communities.” The theme of the conference was "Tying Communities Together”.

These gatherings serve to highlight our commonalities and unite our voices as we strive for the betterment of the communities and regions we have been elected to serve. Resolutions are submitted from local govern-ments on various matters of concern with the purpose of garnering regional support.

Resolutions debated at the AGM are sent to the provincial association, the Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) with the inten-tion of shaping public policy at the provin-cial level. At this year’s AGM, members delib-

erated over issues ranging from aerodrome placement to provincial funding for munici-palities with no residents.

AKBLG is the regional oriented function designed for all local elected officials. It is a critical forum for those elected to truly understand their role through connecting with peers, debating resolutions, and attending educational workshops. Train-ing and education are an investment in the people who chose public service in a com-plex environment.

Part of the role of local politicians is to gov-ern wisely by understanding the broader issues of local government, and its relation-ship to the province. In order to be relevant and influence change in the government structure, you have to be part of the larger system that can influence that change.

Being a Mayor, a Regional District Direc-tor, or a Councillor in a community means much more than dealing with local matters with local people, but also ensuring you are recognized on a larger stage where public policy, government funding, and economic development issues are constantly in motion and under discussion.

AKBLG highlights commonalities


John Horgan put on steel-toed boots for his first public appearance as B.C. NDP lead-er, to emphasize his support for the jobs created by natural resource development.

Last month Columbia River Revelstoke MLA Norm Mac-donald announced his sup-port for Horgan’s rival, Mike Farnworth. However Farn-worth dropped out of the race soon after.

Speaking to reporters last week after a tour of the West-ern Stevedoring port in North Vancouver, Horgan repeat-ed his wait-and-see position on the proposed expansion of the TransMountain oil pipeline from Alberta to Bur-naby, and emphasized his sup-port for liquefied natural gas development.

He said the B.C. Liberal gov-

ernment has placed too much emphasis on LNG exports, and it's been "giving away" the province's natural resources.

"For the past 12 years the B.C. Liberals have seen a decrease in value from our resources coming back to the Crown, which means less financial resources for health care, for education and vital social programs," Horgan said. "We need to change that. New Democrats historically have talked about the import-ance of the economy and our valuable social programs. We have a disconnect in place now and I intend, over the next three years, to change that."

Premier Christy Clark left Friday for her fifth LNG sales trip to Asia, visiting Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong in an effort to close more invest-ment deals. Earlier this week a joint venture agreement was

signed by Shell, PetroChina, Mitsubishi and Korea Gas to develop an LNG export ter-minal at Kitimat, with final investment decisions still up to two years away.

Horgan said the broad sup-port for his leadership shows he has healed divisions over balancing economic growth with environmental protec-tion. He added he will meet this summer with former pre-mier Mike Harcourt, who quit the party in April over its per-formance in the 2013 elec-tion.

Asked this week about the acclamation of Horgan after veteran MLA Mike Farnworth dropped out of the leader-ship, Clark said having a vigor-ous debate over leadership is "a sign of a healthy party.

"I wish him luck," Clark said. "It's easier to go through unopposed but I don't know if it helps you."

BC NDPs have chosen a new leader

BC Hydro customers who refuse to part with their mechanical power meters will continue to pay $32.40 a month for manual meter readings, with a refund on the balance of the $35 they’ve been paying since December.

The B.C. Utilities Commission ruled on BC Hydro’s smart meter opt-out fees Apr. 25, after an order from the B.C. government required the regulator to approve fees covering all of BC Hydro’s costs.

A $20 a month charge will continue for BC Hydro customers who accept a digital meter with the radio transmission function turned off. The commission cut the one-time fee for disabling the meter radio to $22.60, far below BC Hydro’s pro-posed $100.

Most of BC Hydro’s nearly two million cus-tomers now have fully functioning smart meters, which send daily readings to a collection network and signal when power goes out and comes back on.

Golden in particular mounted a very strong resistance to the installation of the new technol-ogy.

Some customers believe that the meters present a health hazard, despite evidence that their signals are weaker than the natural back-ground of radio frequency signals even in remote areas.

BC Hydro’s meter upgrade was exempted from review, but the commission ruled last year on simi-lar equipment for FortisBC’s electrical grid in the Okanagan and Kootenay regions.

Commissioners rejected testimony from smart meter opponents, noting that their spokesmen were unqualified and in most cases repeating false or exaggerated claims in order to sell solu-tions to the purported hazards.

BC Hydro spent nearly $1 billion to upgrade its grid, forecasting savings from automatic meter reading to faster detection of outages and elimin-ation of power theft from meter bypasses.

The commission also reduced fees for cus-tomers who move and request a radio-off meter at their new address. To switch from a mechan-ical meter to a radio-off meter will cost $77.60, reduced from the BC Hydro’s proposed $100. Going from one radio-off meter to another will cost $132.60, down from the proposed $155 that includes activating the meter in the former resi-dence.

Community Conversations with the Mayor is back today (May 7)and the topic is one that has been on many people's minds; economic development.

"As local government, our role is to create a legislative environment that supports economic develop-ment. This includes providing infrastructure that supports economic development such as clean, reli-able water, sewer and roads as well as lobbying for infrastructure such as reliable power, transportation networks, broadband and connectivity." Mayor Christina Benty said. "Supporting economic develop-ment includes attractive public spaces, recreation and arts and culture. These are often considered soft economic development, however, these play a role in people's decisions regarding where they are going to live and build a business."

Today's community conversation will allow residents to discuss their own thoughts and ideas regard-ing economic development in a round table setting.

"I would like to see an economic development function that acts as a key point of contact for informa-tion, connects businesses to resources, assists local governments in improving the legislative environ-ment and builds community capacity. What we do, what we have and what we are matter. A safe, attract-ive, livable community brings people and businesses,” said Benty.

To have meaningful dialogue on a topic critical to our community, come to today's Community Con-versation at the Civic Centre from 12:10 p.m. to 1:10 p.m. Late attendees are welcome and the Town of Golden invites you to bring a friend, bring a lunch and bring your thoughts.

New topic is economic development


The Golden Golf Club lost one of its founding members and the Royal Canadian Legion one of its most dedicated volunteers when Eleanor Dewar passed away on April 26 at the age of 78 after a battle with cancer.

Dewar, who was best known as Lil to her friends and family, moved with her husband John to Gold-en in 1975. The couple operated the Husky Ser-vice Centre up until 1984 and the A&W Restau-rant from 1982 to 1992, but it was Dewar’s involve-ment in the community for which she will be best remembered.

Dewar, an avid golfer, was heavily involved in the establishment of the Golden Golf Club from the very beginning.

“She had no children but the golf course basic-ally became her baby in my opinion,” said Julia Cundliffe, one of Dewar’s longtime friends and frequent playing partners.

Over the years Dewar served as Director and Vice-President of the club, and as President in 1987.

“That was her passion, to work with this club and make it successful,” Cundliffe said.

The game remained a passion of hers up until her passing and she won the Ladies Club Cham-pionship six times and the Senior Club Cham-pionship nine times.

“She was always extremely competitive. She had her way of standing at the tee and taking a deep breath (before her shot),” Cundliffe laughed. “It was just one of her habits.”

In between rounds of golf, Dewar found time to volunteer at the Legion and earned Life Mem-bership honours in 2002. She became a member in 1988 and served in the positions of Secretary, Vice-President and President over the years.

“(Her and her husband) were very community oriented,” said Kathy Anderson, a former Legion president and longtime friend of Dewar’s.

Dewar spearheaded the Legion’s cemetery revitalization project and frequently organized special events and music nights.

“She did all kinds of things and she loved to cook,” Anderson said.

Helping Dewar in the kitchen, however, was often a struggle.

“When working with Lil in the kitchen, you’d have to have lots of patience,” Anderson said, smiling.

“She wanted everything done in a particular way and with a particular style. I’ve walked out of that kitchen and counted to 10 and then walked back in to help her…She was very particular and I

understood that about her.” Her attention for detail often came in handy

while Anderson was serving as president, she knew she could count on Dewar anytime she had any questions or concerns.

“I used to call her up if I wasn’t sure about the protocols of the Legion, what has to be done and how it has to be done,” Anderson said. “She was always there with advice and she was always right, too.”

Whether it’s on the golf course or at the Legion, it is clear that Dewar will be greatly missed.

“I’m going to miss her like crazy,” Anderson said. “She was a really good person with a good, beautiful heart.”


Government of British Columbia and Xplornet Partner to Bring Affordable High-Speed to Remote B.C. Residents.

Xplornet Communications Inc. is pleased to announce a partnership with the government of British Columbia to help bridge the urban/rural digital divide in rural and remote British Columbia.

The initiative is a multi-year program to make Internet connectivity more affordable in rural and remote areas where installation costs can be high.

The program will provide a subsidy of up to $250, or half of the cost of an installation of broadband equipment to new residential and business customers within Xplornet’s industry leading 4G rural broadband satellite footprint. This will significantly reduce the costs of installation, costs that may have been a barrier to the adoption of high-speed Internet.

“The government of British Columbia deserves significant praise for a program that helps break down one of the last barriers to full connectivity in the province – namely the high cost of broadband installation in remote parts of BC. Now, even the most remote British Columbians can affordably benefit from the transformative power of high-speed Internet to connect them to the global economy,” said Xplornet President Allison Lenehan.

Xplornet is the country’s leading rural broadband Internet provider and takes pride in connecting over 200,000 Canadians to the world. The commitment to offering every Canadian reliable, affordable and fast Internet is shared by an ever-expanding network of over 450 local dealers, including 60 in British Columbia alone.

For more information about Xplornet high-speed Internet and how you may benefit from the British Columbia Broadband Satellite Initiative, visit xplornet.com or call 855-494-1079. For complete details on the British Columbia Broadband Initiative please visit www.gov.bc.ca/bcbroadbandsatellite.

The RCMP dealt with 45 com-plaints last week.

Runaway Teenager

On April 25 at 5 p.m., RCMP received a call from a local business saying there was a young girl shoplifting in the store.

When the RCMP arrived, they discovered that the girl was a 13-year-old runaway from Cranbrook, who had been missing for a week.

The girl is a habitual run-away, and the RCMP turned her over to the Ministry of Family and Child Develop-ment, who made arrange-ments to get her back to Cran-brook.

Roadside Impoundment

On April 26 at 9:11 p.m. a vehicle was stopped on the overpass off Highway 1. The male driver of the pick-up truck showed signs of being impaired. A road side screen-ing device was used, which determined the male was over the legal limit.

A three-day suspension of his license was issued, as well as a three-day impoundment of the vehicle. The driver was not a local resident.

Public Intoxication

On April 27 at 2:20 a.m., RCMP received word that there was a heavily intoxicat-ed male on 6th Street North. When police spoke with him he indicated he was trying to

get to the Greyhound Station on Highway 1.

The male was too intoxi-cated to be allowed on a bus, so he tried calling friends he had in town. He was unable to get a hold of any of them. Since the male was unable to take care of himself, and could not find anyone else to take care of him, he spent the night in jail, and was released in the morning.

Break and Enter

On April 28 at 7:03 p.m., RCMP got a report of a Break and Enter in progress on Almberg Road. The resi-dent knew the suspect, who stole the resident’s wallet. The 40-year-old local male was caught, and released on a promise to appear in court.

Shape shifting JumboAs we visit Jumbo Pass from time to time all seems

in perfect harmony: endless familiar delights - boun-tiful Alpine blossoms, gleaming glaciers, pristine peaks, soothing scents, sensational skyscrapes, night-ly nighthawks and possible glimpses of mountain goats. Jumbo Pass is in perfect shape.

In Jumbo Valley evidences of human shapings are passing with the years. The old mine and sawmill sites are nearly grown over and rock slides have closed the old logging road to all but recreational vehicles. This shifting shape becomes more like the prime habitat of the Purcell Wilderness Conservancy directly to the south allowing long ranging carnivores, and their numerous prey, to expand their home ranges.

Though we acknowledge nearly fifty active ava-lanche chutes and rapidly abating glaciers, the Jum-bo area is known, near and far, as a place of peace and restoration for our bodies, minds and souls. Our hearts sense sameness in this refuge from the present world of frequently instantaneous and abrupt shifts. Here at Qat’Muk our spirits mingle with the dancing spirit of the grizzly bear.

Issuing the Master Development Agreement and subsequent fabrication of the Jumbo Glacier Moun-tain Resort Municipality (JGMRM) caused no dis-cernible shape shift at the time.

February 2013 JGMRM received a $200,000 Start Up Grant, standard practice when municipalities incorporate (plus $60,000 for personnel). After

incorporation every municipality must annually file a five year financial plan listing anticipated revenues and expenses.

When JGMRM filed February 2014 they listed personnel salaries as liabilities with no tax base for assets. Simultaneously they applied for and received a Small Communities Grant for $200,000 for this year plus $200,000 annually the next four years. As a result Jumbo took on a new shape for B.C. taxpay-ers supporting a missing persons municipality, and, anticipate supporting a road that goes nowhere but will cost the same as maintaining the Roger’s Pass corridor.

Quite recently CBC announced an Order-In-Coun-cil that changed the determination in which ski resorts would be built. We braced ourselves for a jum-bo shift. However, next day the order was rescinded - the present shape holds.

Currently Glacier Resorts Ltd. (GRL), parent com-pany of JGMRM, has a License of Occupation to build a ski lift on, and a lodge near, the Farnham Gla-cier. GRL’s conditionally approved Environment-al Assessment certificate terminates Oct. 12, 2014 at which time the proper minister(s) will decide if GRL has made a “substantial start”.

We have definitely entered count down season and Jumbo’s shape will shift ... depending ...

Voting of fundamental importanceNothing is more fundamental to democracy than

the right to vote. It is cherished in democracies and envied in dictatorships. Today’s newspapers are filled with stories about pro-democracy protests in Ukraine, Egypt, Venezuela and Afghanistan. Sim-ilarly, the history books are brimming with stories of disenfranchised people being imprisoned, perse-cuted, and killed because of their desire to cast a bal-lot.

Throughout history, dictators feared nothing more than the right to vote. It was for this reason,

Abraham Lincoln famously remarked, “the ballot is stronger than the bullet.”

Internationally, Canada has been a tireless cham-pion of the right to vote. Thousands of Canadians died on the cliffs of Dieppe; in the deserts of Kanda-har; on the beaches of Normandy; and in the valleys of Kapyong in defense of it. They died so millions could vote and be freed from fascism, communism and totalitarianism.

Domestically, the right to vote expanded through-out the 20th century. Suffrage was extended to women in 1921; to Asian Canadians. Continued on page 7

This past weekend has once again prov-en what I already know to be true… I live in a town full of people who are much tougher than I.

The weekend’s weather, which would actually be considered mild were it a different month, had me huddle inside as much as pos-sible.

It even left some people stranded after Highway 1 was closed for avalanche control, and then avalanche clean-up.

Unfortunately for myself and others, there was a multitude of events taking place over the week-end that forced people out into the cold…But I was the only one who seemed to mind.

The annual Parson Spring Fling was able to move most of their activities indoors to get out of the rain. The pony rides, however, and the bar-becue stayed outdoors. People wandered in and out and, hardly noticing the light rain and cold temperatures that had me shivering.

After I attended the Spring Fling on Saturday, I moved onto the second outdoor event that was scheduled for the day - the Golden Bike Swap.

I walked over the bridge to the swap across from Town Hall (as much as I hate to admit it, I actually considered driving my warm car the one block), and saw a few people browsing, and some just hanging out and chatting.

There were a few tents, but most people didn’t bother standing underneath them.

I quickly snapped a photo and practically ran back to my warm office.

Although there weren’t as many people out and about as usual, the ones who were out looked at me like I was crazy hiding under a hood and jumping up and down to keep the blood flowing.

But like I said, this is a town full of tough people. The kind of people who join voluntary emergency service organizations that have you hanging out of helicopters.

The kind of people who think a day of skiing at a resort where the runs are mostly double black diamonds is relaxing.

The kind of people who look at the moun-tainous backcountry terrain, or the wild Kick-ing Horse River as a playground, no matter the weather.

This is not a town for the timid. And I think it’s that very fact that attracts most of the commun-ity’s residents, or at least the newer residents.

In other words, Golden residents are no fair weather fans. They love their active lifestyles no matter what the thermometer says.

This week is a chance to acknowledge the work and sacrifice of the over one million caregivers throughout British Columbia.

These dedicated people provide physical, emo-tional and financial support to family and friends who may be elderly, chronically ill or living with a disability.

Providing care to a loved one can be rewarding, but it can also be challenging and may take a toll on a caregiver’s own health. That’s why the Ministry of Health and health authorities are committed to

supporting organizations that help caregivers navi-gate their nique and ever-changing role. Online forums, workshops and other resources provide practical tools and personal supports which aim to ease some of the stress of being a caregiver.

Because we believe in the importance of keep-ing patients connected to their home commun-ity, B.C.’s well-funded home-care and home-sup-port services, including community nursing, pal-liative and end-of-life care, as well as non-medic-al services like the United Way’s Better at Home

program, help to relieve the physical, emotional and financial burden often felt by those caring for loved ones.

On behalf of the Province of British Columbia, I would like to thank all the caregivers who work every day to improve the health and well-being of family and friends. Your job is not an easy one, but it is invaluable to those you care for.”

A stinger to those of us who read the sting-ers first in the stars and stingers section. WE need to change our perspective. Lets all look for the good first instead of focus-ing on the bad.

A big star to Mike and his crew at Kal Tire for always going above and beyond for their customers.

Stingers to Mother

Nature for bring snow in May.

Stars to Mary for bringing in the deli-cious baking to our workplace.

Stars to Brit for making Kool-aid for softball.

Stingers again to all the dog owners who leave their poor dogs tied up to a poll down-town for way too long.

Stars to all the vol-unteers and parents who helped make the Golden Champ Camp a success.

Stingers the driver of the truck who hit the street sign downtown and just drove away.

Stars to whoever it was who paid for my coffee in the drive thru at Tim Horton’s the other day. It made my day.

Will you be doing anything special for Mother’s Day this year?

“Yes, I’ll be thinking about my mother and

remembering her.”

in 1947 and 1948; to First Nations/Aboriginal Canadians in 1960; to the mentally ill in 1988; and to the incarcerated in 2002.The right to vote is so fundamental; govern-ments of all political strips have sought to insulate it from political interference. Prime Minister Mackenzie introduced the secret ballot in 1874. Prime Minister Borden cre-ated Elections Canada in 1920. Prime Minister Trudeau enshrined the right to vote in the Charter (1982). Prime Minister Chretien passed campaign finance reform in 2000.

Stephen Harper’s contribution to history:Unlike his predecessors, Prime Minister Harper is trying to turn the clocks back. His

government is trying to pass legislation (Bill C-23), which could prevent 520,000 Can-adians from voting in the next election. First Nations/Aboriginal Canadians, univer-sity students, senior citizens and low-income individuals will all be affected.

Bill C-23 will eliminate the process of “vouching,” eliminate voter identification cards, and eliminate the Chief Electoral Officer’s ability to promote voting. The gov-ernment is trying to rush this anti-democratic bill through Parliament as fast as pos-sible. They have ignored petitions, refused to consult voters, rejected expert testi-mony, and limited debate.

Stephen Harper will go down in the history books as the prime minister who tried to roll back the right to vote. I hope our generation (like Nellie McClung, Rosa Parks, and Nelson Mandela) will go down as the generation that stopped him.

Prime Minister Harper: keep your hands off my right to vote.

Family Caregiver Week celebrated in B.C. from May 3-9

Lumber policy needs workAs a B.C. resident born at a B.C.

Hospital (Mission) in 1955, it pains me to see what is happening to Interior communities in regards to their economies and the demise of the B.C. softwood lumber industry.

In earlier years, B.C.’s econ-omy thrived in the softwood lum-ber industry. Left unto its own merits, it maintained its sustaina-bility through the very supply and demand, demanded by modern democratic economies.

It wasn’t until the U.S. realized that we were beating them at their own game, and that we could out supply them in their own mar-ket cheaper than they could, that things changed to favour them, and they tariffed us out of their market.

At the same time we were building our forest industry based on export of lumber to the U.S. So when the lumber demand dropped, so did the price, and you’ll notice there are very few lumber mills around.

So now we are exporting raw logs and our best product out of the country and buying them back as finished goods.

We have to figure out a way to become efficient enough with our sustainable and renewable for-est resource that we don’t have to depend on market values to get us back to the point where 70 cents out of every dollar in B.C. comes from forestry.

I think it’s time for governments to rethink the Canadian softwood lumber industry policy. Obviously, we are not taking advantage of, or maximizing our use of, this magnifi-cent renewable resource.

If we invested the same amount every year in forestry initiative as we do subsidizing the gas and oil industry – $1.2 billion – our econ-omy would be thriving and our for-ests would be the most pristine in the world.

At nearly 20m long, 3m high and weigh-ing in at a cool 2,404 kg, it’s clear that Col-umbia Wetlands Adventures has built a massive paddle. But is it the biggest in the world? Owner Mark Teasdale believes so and he has submitted his application to Gui-ness World Records in order to make it offi-cial. He’s due to hear back from the organ-ization this month.

The idea for the paddle started as a way to increase the tour company’s visi-bility from Highway 95. It was Teasdale’s friend and log home builder Dave Stone-house who original-ly came up with the idea.

“(Dave) gave me the idea. He and I were just kicking around some ideas for some signage one day and that was kind of the root of it. He said that he could build a log paddle for a sign and then it kind of expanded into a large log paddle,” Teasdale laughed.

Stonehouse used a western red cedar for the paddle’s shaft and a gigantic slab of laminated veneer lumber (LVL) for the blade. The result is a

very visible landmark along the highway that is sure to attract the attention of pass-ers by.

While the paddle is just about complete (minus some min-or touch-ups to the paint job), the area surrounding it is still being constructed.

“We’re just finish-ing up some landscap-ing now,” Teasdale said. “We’ve incor-porated a pond at the base of the paddle blade and we’re going to have picnic tables there as well.”

The giant paddle isn’t the only new development for the

tour operator. This season, in addition to kayaks, canoes and pedal boats, the company will also be offering stand-up paddle board rentals. According to Teasdale, many people choose to kneel or sit on paddle-boards rather than stand, making it an activity for everyone.

“(Paddleboarding) has really gained a lot of momentum lately so that’s going to be neat to incorporate,” Teasdale said.

Along with self-guided tours, Teasdale and his staff offer guided float

tours at both 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., although sunrise and sunset tours (which allow for the best wildlife-view-ing opportunities) can also be arranged.

Whether it’s part of an organized tour or a self-guided trip, there’s no doubt in Teasdale’s mind what the highlight is of a trip down the Colum-bia River.

“(The feedback) we’ve received has been overwhelming-ly positive,” he said. “It’s pretty neat to be a part of that and to be showing people this part of our beautiful valley.”

Lois EhmanPrincipal of Nicholson Elementary

The snow has finally left the playground and the students of Nicholson are enjoying being able to run, swing and play soccer; all indications that spring is here.

Outside is not the only indication that spring has arrived, the hallways at school are full of springtime art and poetry and bright colors.

On Wednesday, April 23, the Grade 6/7 class hosted a “Sing in the Spring” concert in the school gym featuring many local artists.

The talent in the Golden and Nicholson area is amazing and we thank them all for giving their time to this worthwhile cause.

Friday, April 25, the school presented their final sharing assembly of the year. Many parents and grandparents came out to see what the students of Nicholson have been learning in the classrooms and what activities they are doing outside the classroom.

The Nicky Boppers put on a wonderful performance of their skipping skills, the P.A.L.S (playground activity leaders in school) explained their roles on the playground, the Grade 1/2 class sang French songs and showed us some math skills they have learned, and the Grade 6/7 class performed a reader’s theatre play.

All in all, everyone was entertained and it was a wonderful example of all the fabulous things that happen at Nicholson School.

A big thank you to all the staff for all the hard work they put into all the amazing things the stu-dents are doing and to the parents and community for their support. Together we make Nichol-son the great place it is.

Spring has arrived for Nicholson Elementary School students

When Michelle and Leo Lammers decided to have second child, they had no idea they would end up with four children under the age of two.

"We found out just shortly after we started the business that we were pregnant again," said Michelle who opened Columbia Pool and Spa in Golden with her Leo ten years ago after moving here from Whistler.

The couple was thrilled to find out Michele was pregnant, but received a huge surprise when they went for an early ultrasound.

"We knew right away, there's no way you can hide that in an ultrasound," said Michelle, recalling how Leo said their baby had three heads. "The technician wasn't supposed to say anything, but it didn't matter."

Michelle was pregnant with triplets in the same year she moved to a new community, started a new business, and was already raising a one-year-old daughter.

"We were sort of laughing and crying at the same time…we couldn't believe it."

Carrying and delivering triplets is a bit more complicated, and family had to adapt. At a certain part during the pregnancy Michelle starting hav-ing some problems, and was no longer able to pick up her daughter Kathleen.

"Kathleen was walking by then, but she was still a baby, so she had to learn how to climb up every-thing," she said.

Then when it was time to deliver, Michelle had to go to Calgary. The three boys were quite pre-mature, and spent the first seven weeks of their lives in a Calgary hospital.

One thing, however, was easier. With three babies, there was less bickering over the names. Out of a list of about 10, Michelle and Leo named their boys Benjamin, Micah and Liam, and they were all given family middle names.

Michelle's mother was in Golden for a month when the family returned from Calgary, but once

she left, Michelle had to face the fact that she still needed some help.

"It was very difficult for me to say that I needed help, but Rhonda Smith (who works with infant toddler development in Golden) came by and we talked about what I was going to do when my mom left. It was pretty emotional," said Michelle.

Smith arranged for recently retired public health nurse Anne Younger to come by and help the family out. And soon after, Younger also arranged for some community volunteers to help out with Kathleen and household chores.

"We had just moved to town, we didn't know anybody and we had no family here. But all these people came from 9 a.m., and sometimes until 10 p.m. to help with the babies and with Kathleen… They were amazing."

The Lammers had to move to larger home, and also had to change vehicles, as very

few can accommodate three car seats. After about a year, they hired a nanny so that Michelle could help out more with the new business.

"Every year gets a bit easier with some things, and a little harder with some things," said Michelle. Raising three identical boys can have its unique challenges, and when they were younger they used clothing to help the process.

"When they were babies we colour coded them so we knew who was being fed what, and it kind of stuck. So if they're at a distance you could tell who was who."

The boys now dress in all different colours, which can sometimes be confusing for their parents.

Life hasn't gotten any less chaotic for the Lam-mers, who are constantly on the go with four chil-dren and a business. But they wouldn't have it any other way.

"I always knew I wanted to be a mother, but I always thought I'd have two kids. It's busy and it's wonderful, I love it. I don't know what I'm going to do when they all leave," said Michelle. "It's busy but it's fun. We love doing things with them, like going skiing, camping, all those little things you do with kids. Kids totally ground you."

Triplets came as surprise to Golden mother

“We were sort of laugh-ing and crying at the

same time... we couldn’t believe it.”

Jeff Dolinsky believed Golden had some serious poten-tial when he moved here 26 years ago. Initially, his friends and colleagues weren’t so sure.

“At first people were almost feeling sorry for me and now they’re complete-ly jealous,” Dolinsky laughed.

Dolinsky grew up outside of Red Deer on a small farm. His father was a dentist, which helped influ-ence his decision to get into dentistry himself.

“It was good to be in a profession where you could do some-thing that would involve technic-al skills and helping people, and it (allows for) lifestyle flexibil-ity,” Dolinsky said.

He earned his den-tal degree from the University of Alberta in 1984 and moved to Golden four years later with his wife. The couple’s two daughters were raised here, in what Dolin-sky calls a family-friendly community.

“Golden was and is a great place to bring up a family,” he said.

He bought the Golden Dental Cen-tre in 1992, a prac-tice he has owned ever since. Recent-ly, Dolinsky was given a prestigious hon-our when he earned a Mastership from the London School of Orthotropics. The award was given out based on criteria such as number of years in practice and dem-onstrations of before and after cases for patients.

As a dentist in a small town, it was only natural for Dolinsky to become a visible member of the com-munity, but it wasn’t just his job that made

it so. His extensive involvement in vari-ous organizations and clubs in his spare time has helped as well.

Dolinsky is the

founding and current chair of the Golden Nordic Ski Club Soci-ety and he had a big role in making the Dawn Mountain Nor-dic Centre what it is today, and will have a big role in shaping its future.

“We have so many talented people in the club that it’s been a great collabora-tion,” he said. “In the future we’ll have bet-ter grooming and biathlon. That club’s been growing 30 per cent per year in visit-

ation.”Originally the

group that developed the Nordic Cen-tre was just hoping to have some nicely groomed trails, but

the growth of the cen-tre was rapid.

“Incrementally it got to be bigger and more important and (now) it is beyond anyone’s expecta-tions,” he said.

In addition to his work with the Nordic Centre, Dolinsky has served as president of the Rotary Club, and was the found-ing chair of both the Golden and District Community Founda-tion and the Golden Outdoor Recreation Association.

It was always important for him to be involved.

“When you can see the results of some-thing happening or the results of a cre-ative effort, with people jumping on the bandwagon and joining you, every-body feels good about it,” he said.

In his spare time he continues to enjoy all of the outdoor sports that made Golden an attractive place to live in the first place, including skiing, hiking, rowing and climbing.

“I don’t watch a lot of TV,” he laughed.

It’s pretty obvious that Dolinsky doesn’t regret his decision to move to the Colum-bia Valley one bit and he sees himself retir-ing here in the future.

“It’s the best place on the planet to ski,” he said. “Golden has been an exceptional place to live over the past 25 years.”

VOTED BC’s BESTICE CREAM!

12 FLAVOURS&

HOMEMADE WAFFLE CONES!


It seems like revivals of mid-2000 TV shows are ‘in’ these days. Arrested Development returned last spring, 24 re-debuted Monday night and Veronica Mars went the film route with a movie of the same name.

If you’re like me and have never seen the TV show, don’t worry, there is a short introduction that recaps the show’s major plot points and characters in order to bring everyone up to speed.

The movie takes place nine years after the final season of the show with the former teenage detective Veronica Mars (Kristen Bell) living in New York City. Mars has given up the live of a private investigator and is interviewing for a job with a prestigious law firm. The movie’s plot gets set into motion when former classmate Carrie Bishop is found dead and Veronica’s ex-boyfriend Logan Echolls (Jason Dohring) becomes the primary suspect.

Veronica reluctantly agrees to fly back to her fictional hometown of Neptune, California and help Logan, with whom she hasn’t spoken in years.

Originally the trip is supposed to be quick and she is merely there to help Logan find a good lawyer, but her stay is continually extended when the mystery surrounding Carrie’s murder starts to become clear-er.

While there is an intro to the characters for the non-show watchers, their names and backgrounds are still a little confusing to piece togeth-er at first. There are also allusions to events and characters from the past that, I’m assuming, make more sense if you are a fan of the show.

Still, there is no reason to shy away from watching the movie even if you have no idea who Veronica Mars is and it works well as a stand alone for that reason. The dialogue is both smart and witty and it is easy to get drawn in by the ‘whodunit’ nature of the plot.

My biggest complaint surrounds what leads Veronica to figure out the killer’s identity. Without giving anything away, it all seems to come together a little too conveniently for my liking. It would have made for a more compelling conclusion if it wasn’t so neat and tidy.

The ending leaves things open for a sequel and I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing. This was a fun, enjoyable movie and I’d be up for seeing more.

For that reason I’ll give Veronica Mars 8 dancing hot dogs out of 10.

Veronica Mars is now available to rent or own at Kicking Horse Movies.

Rockwater to get taste of Little India


Vancouver’s Little India is coming to Golden for a performance on May 8.

Originally from Durban, South Afri-ca, Conan crossed paths with Andrew and

Dallyn soon after his arrival in Canada. After attending their final years of school together, they all seemed to be leading different paths until Conan decided to initiate play. He called Andrew, the only bassist he knew in town, and Dallyn, a drummer who he had played with in past summers. The three friends had come together in Dallyn’s basement for a fun music-al release, nothing serious. They soon realized there was more musical chemistry than initial-ly thought.

Formed in late November of 2012, Little India has accomplished quite a bit in their life-span thus far. Their first show was in January 2013 as an opening act. Before their set had even finished, the event promoter and venue had booked them for two headlining shows in the months to come. They have since head-lined many venues around Vancouver and have shared stages that have belonged to acts such as Atlas Genius, The 1975, The Drums, Jets Over-head, and many more.

Their debut EP, “Up All Night” released Nov-ember 19, 2013, was mixed by Michael Brauer (Coldplay, Rolling Stones, Atlas Genius, The Vaccines, and many more).

INSTEAD OF A BOTTLE…Sing your baby to sleep with a sweet lullaby to avoid tooth decay, which dentists say is an epidemic in infants! Decay occurs when sweet liquids like milk and juice cling to teeth for long periods, explains pediatric dentist Stephen Mitchell, D.M.D. To prevent it, wipe baby’s gums with a gauze pad or wash cloth after each feeding, start to brush as soon as the first tooth erupts and never let him/her fall asleep with a bottle.

BRUSHINGPlaque Build –up, caused by bacteria left in the mouth, can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Daily mouth care is one of the simplest steps you can take to maintain healthy teeth and gums at any age- starting with brushing at least twice a day.TIPS FOR BETTER BRUSHINGWhether using an electric or a manual toothbrush you want to ensure you have the proper brushing technique. A few things to consider:1) Brush long, not harder. Brushing to hard can damage your enamel. Brush for at least 2 minutes using a soft toothbrush.2) Use a small amount of fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride helps to strengthen the tooth’s enamel. You only need a small amount (about the size of a pea).3) Brush after breakfast and especially before bed. Your salivary flow decreases while you sleep putting you at a greater risk for tooth decay.4) Replace your toothbrush every three months, after a cold or illness, or when the bristles lose shape.5) Brush all surfaces of your teeth and don’t forget to clean your tongue. Many toothbrushes today have a tongue cleaner.6) Don’t share your toothbrush- bacteria can transfer from one mouth to another.7) Avoid brushing immediately after eating acidic food or drinks. The acid can remain on the enamel and you end up brushing away enamel.8) Ask your Dentist how well you’re brushing and for more tips for better dental health.

Traveller tells of the first impression of Golden and areaIt’s always fun to

hear others’ opinions of the area more than hundred years ago. This is excepted from a book called “On the Cars and Off.”

Field is the weirdest place at night, with its wild black hills and spectral pines out-lined against the sky,

especially if there be forest fires or the moon shining over the dome of Mount Stephen and the gro-tesque white sands of the Kicking Horse.

While we were there it was made pic-turesque by a work-ing camp; it had been quite a town in con-struction days; there are still three hun-dred and fourteen log shacks (huts). It is a famous place for children; they never tire of watching the antics of one of the four great seventy-five ton engine of the company stationed here like a tame ele-phant to help hail any unusually heavy load.

The engineers are very good natured about taking chil-dren in the cab. I sup-pose that this is high-ly irregular, but “it is a far cry to Lock Awe” – and rules are liberally in the Rockies.

The scenery that succeeds Field is almost indescribable. Long before you get to Field you catch your first glimpse of Hector and the big green glaciers, which look like over-flowing from “the glassy sea” on Hector and the hills beyond; for, with the hills above and the rivers below, this scenery is unsurpassed even on the Canadian Pacific Railway.

The fierce torrent, from which the Kick-ing Horse Canyon is named, stampedes like a waterfall all the way through a deep gorge, that almost rivals the peerless gorges of Australia. As you fly past you cross a valley glori-ous with the glacier of Mount Hector and the green terraces of Mount Stephen, and an infinite depth of dark pines.

The railway cross-es and recrosses the torrent, like a sal-mon fisher, to utilise every available ledge. At last Golden City is reached, and you get the first view of

the Selkirks – more majestic even than the Rockies. Gold-en City is about the most inappropriately named in the world.

It is called “gold-en” apparently from the silver mines of Spillimacheen in the neighbourhood – by no means the immediate neigh-bourhood.

Why it is called a ‘city” heaven only knows, for there is nothing of it beyond a post office, a pub-lic house, and a store or two – all built of wood.

At Golden you first strike the mighty Col-umbia, one of the greatest rivers of the

continent; and once a week the funniest little steamer in the world, a sort of stern-wheeled scow, takes you up to the source of the river in the Canadian Winder-mere, about a hun-dred miles above the Columbia.

At Golden there was a very genuine Western hotel, in which the landlord though is exceeding-ly impertinent for troubling him with our presence.

Apart from elemen-tal considerations, there is nothing old about the mountains. The oldest inhabit-ed spot in them is Moberly (half way

down from Golden to Donald), and that only dates from 1871. Mr. Walter Mober-ly, C.E., had a cabin there.

From Golden to Donald the railway runs between the rival ranges, the rug-ged Rockies and the steepled Selkirks.

Donald is quite a town so important that it is one of the places where they put back the clock for an hour to correct the sun’s ridiculous habit of orientation; it has also nine hundred inhabitants, and a resident engineer, for it is the headquar-ters of the mountain section of the railway,

and has the repair shops.

But even the engin-eer has not got beyond a shack, or log hut.

We stayed with him a night, our only experience of log huts. Mr. G, the engineer, a brilliant Welshman, and his pretty young wife and sister, had made the shack a most delight-ful place to live in; it was just like liv-ing on board ship, except for the creep-ers which climbed over the huge logs of which it was built. It is wonderful what a lady’s taste will do with the roughest material.

Students serving up spaghetti to help fellow youth across the globe


A group of Lady Grey Elementary School students have come together to make life a lit-tle better for children on the other side of the world.

The group of friends got together in Grade 5 and decided that they wanted to raise funds for different projects, often to buy things like animals and medical supplies in developing countries, usually through Free the Children, an international organization that started in Ontario with two young brothers.

The girls usually did bake sales and other small projects, but this year, the last at LGES for some of them, they wanted to do some-thing different.

“This year we decided to set a higher goal for ourselves, so we did a little more research and found this great cause. We’re going to build a well for $5,000 through Free the Children, in third world countries where they don’t have access to water,” said Syenna Mitchell.

The group likes to fundraise for Free the Children because it’s a great foundation that helps youth around the world, and was start-ed by youth.

“Since we are kids, it’s a great fit for us to help other kids,” said Mitchell.

Already the girls, who call themselves the Free the Children Group, have raised $3,532.80 and are hoping a spaghetti dinner will get them the rest of the way.

“We’re almost at our goal, so we liked this idea because it could get us a lot closer,” said Maeve Wilson. “We first announced our goal in September, and after a few months had passed we were worried we wouldn’t reach it, and that it might be a two-year project… But then other classes started to join in, and as a school we’ve been working together real-ly well.”

“As cheesy as it sounds, we wouldn’t be any-where near our goal without help from the other classes,” said Mitchell.

The group is also very thankful to all the teachers and parents who have helped out with their efforts.

The Spaghetti Dinner is on May 23 from 5-7 p.m. at LGES. Tickets are available at the school before hand at the office, or at the door ($10 each, $5 for for ages 13 and under, and free for kids five and under).There will be live entertainment, and a delicious dinner cooked by parent and teacher volunteers.

A group of friends from Lady Grey Elementary School, who call themselves the Free the Children Group, are organizing a Spaghetti Dinner as a fundraiser to help them reach their $5,000 goal that will purchase a well in a developing country.Back row left to right: Meghan Oslund, Maeve Wilson, Cydnee Glasier and Syenna Mitchell.

COMMENTS INVITED ON VISUAL QUALITY OBJECTIVES IN GOLDEN AREA

The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations invites the public to review and comment on proposed visual quality objectives and scenic areas near Golden in the Selkirk Natural Resource District.

• Scenic areas are established under the Forest and Range Practices Act and the Government Actions Regulation, Sections 7(1) and (2), and define broad geographic areas where scenic values are considered to be a priority.

• Visual quality objectives are defined under the Forest and Range Practices Act’s Forest Planning and Practices Regulation. They range from ensuring that no logging activity is visible from a given point to allowing logging activity to be fully visible.

A map and details about proposed visual quality objectives and scenic areas in the Golden area are available for viewing at the Service BC office in Golden (837 Park Drive) and the Revelstoke office of the Selkirk Natural Resource District (1761 Big Eddy Road). The map is also available online at: http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/ftp/DCO/external/!publish/Golden%20VLI%202014/

Sixty-five young athletes and 25 volunteers made Gold-en’s first ever Fast and Female Golden Champ Camp a great success.

“It definitely exceeded all our expectations,” said Jor-dan Petrovics, manager of recreation services for the Town of Golden.

The Town of Golden teamed up with Golden Sport 4 Life, a volunteer group dedicated to broadening the sports opportunities in the community, to bring the international organization to Golden.

“We’re looking at initiatives and ways to introduce events where kids can do multiple different sports, so they can try new things,” said Petrov-ics. That is the basic philoso-phy of Sport 4 Life, to intro-duce kids to as many sports as possible, that way they will have the foundational skills to move from sport to sport throughout their lives as their passions change.

The girls participated in a variety of activities during the one-day camp on May 3, including soccer, hockey, boot camp, Zumba, yoga, and some conversation and infor-mational sessions as well.

“The Fast and Female event

concept was a perfect fit for this initiative,” said Petro-vics. National studies have shown that teenage girls are particularly vulnerable when it comes to dropping out of a particular sport, and not engaging in another.

There are plans to bring the event back for the winter, and volunteers are also talk-ing about planning a similar event to engage the young boys in the community.

The numerous volunteers are what made this event a success, and Petrovics is par-ticularly pleased with the var-

iety of people who came to help out.

“The volunteer turnout and the number of people who have gotten engaged has been great,” he said. “And the diversity of the volun-teers is really exciting. Not only did we get parents of girls who were participating, but also parents of boys who thought it was a great pro-ject to be involved in, and also some younger women in the community who don’t have children, but are involved in sports and wanted to help out.”

Sixty five young girls in Golden came to the Golden Arena this past weekend to participate in the Fast and Female Golden Champ Camp, where they were able to par-ticipate in a variety of different sports.

It is with great sadness that the family of Theresa Nixon announces she passed away peacefully surrounded by family on April 23, 2014 at the age of 84.Theresa was born and raised in Fort McLeod, AB. She eventually moved to Cranbrook, BC where she met, and later married Harold, her husband of 59 years. Together they started their family of 3 boys in Parson, BC before moving

back to Cranbrook. Theresa was adventurous and never one to sit still, always up for trying something new. She took up downhill skiing in her 60’s, went white water rafting, travelled to Thailand, went on all the rides in Disney World with her grandkids, and hiked up mountains. She enjoyed baking, we will all miss her homemade bread, buns, cinnamon buns cookies and Christmas squares. Other hobbies included knitting, word puzzles and walking. Theresa kept fi t and active by walking every day, including her fi nal days in Foothills hospital. She also always made sure that she had her week’s supply of lottery tickets on hand.“Mother Theresa” (as she was known amongst family) never complained about anything and always put the needs of others ahead of her own. She was there to lend a hand to friends, family, or complete strangers. Theresa faced many adversities in her life head on and never got discouraged no matter how diffi cult things had become. She was never happier than when she was surrounded by her family, be it a casual evening sitting in the backyard, family vacations, birthday celebrations, weddings, or reunions.Theresa leaves behind her 3 sons; Garth (Linda), Gord (Karen) and Lorne (Kim), 4 Grandchildren; Josh (Jill), Allison (Scott), Jeff (Terri), and Danielle (Davey), and 4 Great Grandchildren; Avery, Madelyn, Jace, and Kael. She is predeceased by her husband Harold, her daughter Baby girl Nixon, her grandson Joel, and her siblings Eugene, Joe, Madelyn, and Gwen.Theresa never told us how to live our lives, she showed us. Rest in Peace Mom.If friends so desire, Memorial tributes can be made directly to the BC Lung Association (www.bc.lung.ca)A funeral mass will be celebrated Saturday, May 31, 2014 at 12:00PM at Christ the Servant Catholic Church, 1100 - 14th Avenue South, Cranbrook, BC with a reception to follow.

It might not have felt like it on Sunday when wet, slushy snow was pouring down from the skies, but rafting sea-son is right around the corner for Golden’s three whitewater tour operators, Alpine Raft-ing, Glacier Raft Com-pany and Wet ‘N’ Wild Adventures.

This year, Alpine Rafting is celebrating

its 30th anniversary and the local tour operator will have a slightly new look to it this season.

Renovations are ongoing at Alpine’s lodge next to the Brit-ish Columbia Visitor’s Centre and the new-look centre will have brand-new flooring and a small cafe with grab and go food when the renos are com-plete.

The company will also be offering stand-up paddleboard excur-

sions, with both a mor-ning tour and an ear-ly evening tour on offer for the fast-grow-ing recreational activ-ity. The evening tour will be particularly vis-ible for Goldenites, as it will run along the Kicking Horse River through town, starting from past the munici-pal campground and ending at the conflu-ence of the Kicking Horse and Columbia Rivers. The morning tour will start on the

Beaver River further east before eventual-ly joining up with the Kicking Horse.

Of course, white-water rafting remains the bread and butter activity along the Kick-ing Horse River, bring-ing in around 20,000 rafters every year to experience Western Canada’s biggest rap-ids. However, it’s the consistency of the experience that makes this river particular-ly attractive for the

adventurous. “The Kicking Horse

has great water levels all summer long,” said Val Pleym, co-owner of Alpine Rafting. “In springtime, the rapids are great because of snow melt. Then, once things warm up and Yoho glacier melts, the rapids are the result of glacial melt.”

Pleym has seen

plenty of changes in the industry in both the equipment and participants involved since her husband bought the company in 1995.

“I’ve seen major improvement in the quality of the gear and the rafts which allows people to enjoy the sport more,” Pleym said. “I’ve also seen a

big increase in the dif-ferent walks of life that come rafting. We’re getting different eth-nicites and age groups that you wouldn’t nor-mally think would come rafting.”

Daily rafting tours will start up on May 17 and continue until mid-September. Dis-counts for locals are available.

I was getting good at this, so I purchased a used vehicle in the U.S. and imported it. It didn’t have any airbags, so the warning lights were on. But I wasn’t picky. I knew, based on my other tricks, I could solve that before I had it inspected and registered.You just couldn’t be too worried about the truth. I Googled airbags. I saw I had three options. Get certifi ed replacements installed at a repair shop. Buy some and install them myself. Or, override the warning light.I called and found that the fi rst option was out of the question. Way too expensive. But, option two had some promise. There were cheap ones online. Of course, there were some warnings about dangerous fake airbags.Option three, overriding the warning lights, went too far – even for me. You can fi nd how-to videos about anything on the web. So, I ordered cheap ones and had them sent to my U.S. mailbox. I used a buddy’s garage and put them in. Bingo! The warning lights went off and I was on my way. Soon, I had an ad up on several classifi ed websites:Great car for sale. Moving out of the country and need to sell fast! Good condition. Recently inspected. Call cell. I’m fl exible on price!!I couldn’t believe how many calls I had.I found my buyer not long after. A nice man about my age; divorced with three kids. That’s all I know about him – I don’t like getting too personal. I was actually honest about the vehicle this time. I told him that the car had been in an

accident and was from the U.S. I asked if he wanted a vehicle history report*, but he declined. He appreciated my honesty, as he’d gone through a few bad deals. With the transaction done, we parted ways. Then I got a call from my buddy.Being a curious person, he’d read the boxes the airbags came in that I’d left at his shop. “You installed counterfeit airbags,” he said. “So? They look identical to the original airbags,” I said.“I’ve seen videos of bogus airbags catching fi re and with metal bits exploding when they deploy. They’re not safe,” he scolded. I’ll take my chances, I thought. It would only be a problem in an accident.The next day, my buddy left a message. He ended our friendship.Whoa, chill out. A guy’s got a right to make a few bucks.

*Vehicle History Reports: CarProof and ICBC vehicle history reports provide detailed information about the registration and accident history of a vehicle. CarProof Verifi ed BC reports also include a lien search. These reports can’t tell you everything a physical inspection will, but they require the seller to Prove it! and not just say it.
