Darryl Craneeditor@thegoldenstar.net

It was a bitter sweet victory for the now three-time Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA, Norm Macdonald, who once again won his seat with more than 6,000 votes, but also saw the BC NDP stay in opposition provincially.

Madonald was watching the results of the 2013 provincial election at his home office in Golden, surrounded by supporters and well wishers.

"I am very proud of the campaign we ran locally. We based our campaign on the grassroots," he said.

Macdonald thanked all of the people who came out to help with his campaign, and said the victory could not have happened without them.

He added that he was disappointed that the message heard locally was not accepted in other areas of the province. The BC Liberals once again won a majority government with the BC NDP coming in second.

"I think what it means for this area, again as an opposition member, is that I will have to fight as

effectively as I can for the interests of the area."BC Liberal candidate Doug Clovechok fin-

ished second to Macdonald.Clovechok said he was disappointed not to win

but he was happy with the campaign."I am absolutely thrilled with the results prov-

incially. I knew right from the start that Christy Clark would form government again," Clovechok said. "I congratulated Mr. Macdonald. We are dis-appointed with the outcome (locally) but I am also proud of the volunteers we had. Mr. Mac-donald said he would out-volunteer us and that did not happen."

Conservative candidate Earl Olsen had a strong showing that saw him receive more than 1,000 votes.

"Obviously, it did not goes as well as I would have hoped it would go for us, but at the same time I think overall for a start up, we did well," he said. "I don't think there is any doubt when look-ing at the numbers that we turned it in to a three-party race. We did not help the Liberals efforts in the area," Olsen said.

Olsen was quick to praise Macdonald for his victory.

"My message to him is congratulations. He ran a great campaign and I enjoyed campaigning with him and against him. He is a gentlemen."

Now that the election is over, Clovechok said he hopes that Macdonald realizes he has to make sure he continues to represent the people in the district.

"We are going to hold Mr. Macdonald's feet to the fire. The people in Columbia River-Revel-stoke spoke, and they decided to keep the NDP in this riding, which means yet again it is a rid-ing that does not have a member of the govern-ment," Clovechok said.

Macdonald said that fight will start right away with issues surrounding dialysis, and many other items on the agenda when he gets back to Vic-toria, even though he is once again on the oppos-ition side of the house.

"The people here have chosen me as their rep-resentative, and we will hold them (the BC Liber-als) to an account. We will fight to make sure this area is strongly represented."

Third times a charm for Macdonald

Local Government Aware-ness Week is coming up from May 19 to 25, and the Town of Golden has planned a few activities to get the community involved in what they do.

The week is a combination of Local Government Awareness Week, National Public Works Week, and BC Water and Waste Association Drinking Water Week.

Town staff will be attending

primary and elementary schools for presentations on water conservation, general town operations, and at-home fire safety.

On one of the afternoons, public works and the fire departments will be displaying equipment at Alexander Park Elementary School to provide the opportunity to come out and sit in some of the equip-ment and talk to the operators about what they in their jobs, said Chris Cochran, manager

of operations for the Town of Golden.

The Town will also be host-ing a drinking water themed colouring contest. Starting May 15, colouring sheets will be available at Town Hall (810 9th Ave. S.), and kids will have until May 31 to hand in their coloured sheets.

There will be two prizes awarded for best colouring, and two random prize draws for a 10-pass card to the Golden Municipal Swimming Pool.

Jessica Schwitekreporter2@thegoldenstar.net

For the past seven years, Golden has been part of a small group of municipalities in British Col-umbia, only 14 in total, who are part of the Resort Municipality Initiative.

Jon Wilsgard, chief administrative officer for the Town of Golden, gave an update on Goldens RMI projects at Tourism Goldens annual gener-al meeting.

As a member of this group, Golden gets approxi-mately $500,000 per year for tourism related pro-jects, and the town has a lot of those projects on the go right now.

Things are going great, said Wilsgard. But its important to remember that this funding is for building things, not maintaining them.

In the past few years, several projects have been completed, including some of the signage (like the roundabout by the Visitors Centre, which is waiting for some lighting), and the Nordic Centre at Dawn Mountain.

2012 is the start of a new five-year place, and there are a number of things the Town is hoping to get underway in that time.

They are looking at the possibility of a perma-nent structure at Spirit Square, one that would accommodate the summer performances with a covered stage, and also have bathrooms, and pos-sibly some sort of concession space.

There will be more signage on the way, and hopefully one on Hwy 1 Frontage Road near

Tim Hortons. In fact, they are also looking at ways to improve the overall appearance of the Frontage Road, which would not only require a large budget, but also the co-operation from BC Highways.

Wilsgard is in the conceptual stage for a new message board in the town, one that would let visitors and locals know whats going on around the community, and possibly serve as a medium for displaying some local art.

Former actor and singer Stephen Keppler has settled into his new role as EZ Rocks radio host in Golden.

Keppler made the move to Gold-en from Vancouver (having grown up and lived all over western Can-ada), in February, and quickly became enamoured with the com-munity.

After about a week of living here I kind of fell in love with the place, he said. The people here are super genuine. I forgot what it was like to drive down the street or go for a walk, and wave to just about every-one you see. You dont get that in a big city.

With a strong background in per-forming (theatre shows, musicals, and improvisation), Keppler decid-ed to pursue an education and career in broadcasting.

I decided to go to Vancouver to find myself, and I ended up going to school for broadcasting because it was something that was always in the back of my mind, he said.

I didnt realize my life experi-ence would help me so much in that field.

He received an education at the Vancouver Institute of Media Arts, worked at Virgin Radio in Vancou-ver while in school, and soon after, found the job in Golden.

Admittedly a little nervous about the move, especially about leaving Vancouvers vibrant arts commun-ity, Keppler has become immersed in the community in his three months here.

I move here, and the first two people I meet are Bill Usher and

Mike Pecora, who are heavily involved in the community. I real-ized this town has way more to offer than I thought it would, he said. Golden is a new home for me, and its a breath of fresh air.

Keppler was forced to hit the ground running, covering all aspects of the radio industry includ-ing on air, advertising, sales, and any-thing else that needs to be done.

However it is the on air hosting that really captures the radio per-sonalitys passion and talent.

With my background Im really comfortable with the radio medium. The radio is the first form of com-munication, because its one-to-one. Im directly speaking to every-one who listens to EZ Rock, said Keppler. I really enjoy focusing on the lighter side of the news, and life.

Keppler is the morning host for EZ Rock 106.3, and can be heard week-days from 7 to 11 a.m.

Bicycle Lanes, Signs and MarkingsA reader from Vancouver asked me where the rules came from for bicycle lanes and signs as they could not be found in the provincial driving manual, Learn to Drive Smart. Included in the e-mail was a link to the City of Vancouver's web site which showed a collection of signs and markings that are now in use on the city streets there. I didn't think that this was going to be a tough question!I went to the Manual of Standard Traf c Signs and Pavement Markings for British Columbia. Surely I would nd everything there. I couldn't, so I e-mailed the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and asked. The lady that responded pointed me to the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) who she advised were responsible for setting the standards.TAC's documentation is titled Bikeway Traf c Control Guidelines for Canada and must be purchased. Being resourceful (and thrifty) I searched the title on the internet instead. I was able to nd a number of useful links that are listed with this article on the DriveSmartBC web site.So, if you are curious about what those "new" signs and pavement markings require you to do as either a driver or a cyclist, my best advice at this point is to check out the City of Vancouver's web site. It seems to be the most comprehensive of the free resources. I can summarize for you, keep your lane discipline, watch out for each other and exercise courtesy when you meet.The author is a retired constable with many years of traf c enforcement experience.

Golden Minor Hockey Vice President Mike Palumbo appeared before council to talk about an exciting project the club is working towards.

For the past two years, the group has been discussing the possibility of constructing an outdoor arena in Golden.

At this point, it is a very initial discussion, said Palumbo. We just have a general idea and plan of what were thinking here.

The lighted outdoor arena, spanning 220 by 110 feet, would be covered by an open timber-frame structure, suitable for hockey games, tournaments, figure skating, and public skat-ing, and would be named after former mayor Aman Virk.

In the summer the space could be a multi-use facility suitable for summer sports, out-door markets, and private functions.

Right now the location is not set in stone, but the ideal spot for the project appears to be beside the Seniors Centre, where the Golden Horse Shoe Club used to operate. When the

club stopped being active, the land was given back to the Town.

Palumbos hope in appearing before coun-cil was to secure that piece of land for the project.

Nobody is using it, and the building there is actually quite niceTheres a mens and womens bathroom, and enough room for a couple change rooms, said Palumbo.

There have been some initial promises of donated labour to cut down the costs of the first phase of construction (clearing trees etc.), and Palumbo expects that the over-all budget would be between $400,000 and $500,00.

Golden Minor Hockey would take on the cost and time to build the facility, but are ask-ing that the Town of Golden take over oper-ation costs once it is completed. However, Palumbo said that user fees from out of town user groups and tournaments would bring in significant funds.

Council does not make decisions on requests during delegations, so they made the motion to defer the topic to the next council meeting for discussion.

Golden Minor Hockey presents big idea

Boat launch underway at KinbasketGolden Star Staffreporter@thegoldenstar.net

The Kinbasket Reservoir will be a little more user friendly this summer when BC Hydro completes the new boat ramp at Bush Harbour.

On-site construction work to finish the boat ramp is currently underway, and is expected to be completed by the end of May, just in time for the summer boating season said Jennifer Walker-Larson, a communication representa-tive for BC Hydro.

Construction began in the spring of 2010, but rising water levels prevented the ramp from being finished that year.

The remaining concrete panels to finish the ramp were placed early last week, and crews are now installing the floating walkway and its anchors.

The completedBush Harbour boat ramp is designed to extend to a reservoir elevation of 724.6 metres (2377.4 feet).

The ramp includes a floating walkway and

two floating log breakwaters to protect from wind and waves.

The Kinbasket Reservoir water level is start-ing to rise and will soon allow the boat ramp to be used. BC Hydro plans to open the ramp to boaters on Saturdays and Sundays while on-site work to install the walkway continues. The ramp will be unavailable on weekdays until the project is completed, expected by the end of May 2013.

BC Hydro built the new Bush Harbour boat ramp under the Columbia River Water Use Plan to improve reservoir recreation. Also under the Columbia River Water Use Plan, BC Hydro has a debris management program for Kinbasket Reservoir in place to remove floating woody debris and has a Recreation Demand Study underway to understand links between reservoir levels and boat recreation.

There were many local businesses that helped with the construction process, includ-ing Shamrock Mountain Building, Chatter Creek Holdings, Golden Concrete, and Got-tler Brothers.

BC Hydro is working to get the Bush Harbour boat ramp completed by the end of May. They have already completed the concrete top of the ramp. Photo Submitted

RCMP Report: Thieves found under truck by RCMP in GoldenDarryl Craneeditor@thegoldenstar.net

Bike stolen in downtown Golden

2013-05-02

Police were called by a 13-year-old boy who had his bike stolen from outside the Moose Trax candy store on 9th Avenue North. After a search of the area and speaking with other store owners, police located the bike in the corridor between some buildings and returned it to the owner.

No consent found on private property

2013-05-06

A report of people riding dirt bikes along the Blaeberry River and accessing it through private property led the Golden/Field RCMP out to the Blaeberry area.

In one instance a property owners sign was pulled down. People are reminded that recreational use of motorized vehicles is restricted and they cannot be operated on pri-vate property without consent of the owner.

Thieves found under a truck

2013-05-07

Golden/Field RCMP received a report of two males seen lurking around vehicles in the Alexander Park Drive area. Police responded and located two males hiding under a truck.

The males were arrested for theft from a vehicle.The investigation is ongoing to determine how many vehicles were broken into.

Motorcycle stolen

2013-05-08 Sometime between May 3 and 5, a 1977 Honda Trail

motorcycle was stolen from a Nicholson area home. It is red in colour and has some specific markings on it. Any-one with information is asked to call the Golden RCMP or Crimestoppers.

Driving privileges revoked

2013-05-09

A local driver lost his/her driving privileges for 90 days after failing a roadside screening device. The driver held a class 7 license, which prohibits driving after having con-sumed any alcohol, let alone enough to fail a roadside test placing their blood alcohol level over the legal limit.

Golden RCMP kicks in on National Prescription Drop Off Day

The RCMP would like to let everyone know that May 11 is National Prescription Drop Off Day.

This is a Public Safety led initiative with a goal to provide the public with the opportunity, and encourage them to turn over all unwanted prescription medications so they can be safely destroyed.

Expired and unused prescription medications pose a potential threat to Canadians for several reasons: the powerful, addictive and potentially dangerous medica-tions attract criminals who seek profit through diverting and trafficking them to others; individuals, especially our youth, can ingest the medicines found in our homes or bought from dealers with potentially dangerous conse-

quences. Expired medicines pose a risk due to unantici-pated complications as active ingredients break down and do not react as expected and improper disposal of the medications poses a risk to the environment.

The Golden RCMP, in support of National Prescription Drop Off Day, will be accepting expired and unused pre-scription medications from Saturday, May 11 to Friday May 17,from anyone who is unable or may chose not to drop off at one of the local pharmacies.

Drop off at the Golden RCMP can be done anonymous-ly and there is no obligation for the public to provide their personal details.

Saving lives during Canada road safety week

May 13-20, 2013 will mark Canada Road Safety Week, a national campaign aimed at making Canadas roads the safest in the world.

This campaign is a police initiative designed to remind people that an essential part of the enforcement job is to save lives and reduce injuries on our roadways. Educating the public about safe driving practices is a priority. The focus will be on behaviours that put drivers, passengers and other road users most at risk.

It is a time to remind drivers and passengers across Canada to consciously consider safety whenever they get behind the wheel.

Buckle seat belts and ensure youngsters are proper-ly restrained in vehicles according to their age and size. Refrain from drinking and driving. Pay attention to the road at all times and refrain from aggressive driving and distracted driving behaviour.

Officers will be continuing to enforce and raise aware-ness about safe driving. It is important to remember that road safety is everyones responsibility not just during Canada Road Safety Week but every day of the year.

It has been a long journey for Const. Mark Pattinson to come from the United Kingdom to Golden.

Pattinson is an officer who brings 25 years of experience to the town.

Starting in the United Kingdom in 1988, Pattinson worked for 20 years, mainly in and around London.

The biggest difference was that in London I serviced a large metropol-itan area. It was very busy and a very vio-lent society. I was regularly involved in street scuffles and public order types of things, he said.

He added he never carried a fire arm for the 20 years he was a police officer in London.

When I first joined, I had a wooden billy club and that was it.

Pattinson explained that for the first six months he was on the street, he did not even have handcuffs due to budget constraints.

I remember my first call I went to as a young lad. I went to a domestic problem. The guy would not listen to us and even-tually we had to place him under arrest. We had to go hands on unfortunately. We were rolling around his front room and had to take off our pant belts to tie his hands up, he said.

Pattinson said the laws are very similar between the U. K. and Canada which has made his move to Canada easier.

However, there is a great difference in the show of respect for police officers between the two countries.

You get people here coming up to you and telling you that you are doing a good job, they thank you for your efforts. Whereas, in the U.K. they throw some-thing at you, he said.

He said this lack of respect can be seen with other public servants in the U.K. as well.

I have been at calls where the fire department gets called out, and when they arrive, it is a hoax call. Then a group of 30 or 40 kids throw stones at them or drop stuff on their trucks from bridges, he said.

Pattinson said a number of his police cruisers were damaged over the years in the U.K from people throwing things at them. They threw chainsaws, a samu-rai sword that was put through the roof, and a refrigerator thrown on his vehicle from a high rise building.

He said that he knew it was time for a change and Canada was the perfect fit.

I came to Canada for the first time in 1992 and my wife and I decided that this would be a good country for us, he said.

The couple moved to Canada in 2008 and he started working with the Calgary Police Service.

After joining the RCMP, he was assigned to Golden in February.

I have hit the ground running here, and other than learning a few things, everything has been great.

As an outdoorsman, Golden is perfect for Pattinson.

I love hiking , skiing and all of these things are easily accessible. Here the riv-ers are free access and it is great, he said

Since coming to Canada the family has added a daughter.

It is a great quality of life here for us. Golden is awesome. I love the outdoor life and raising my little girl here will be perfect, he said.

It is a nice town and people seem very decent. Policing is the same the world over. Provided that you treat people with dignity and respect, then you will gener-ally get the same back.

Proportional Voting

Canada is one of the few coun-tries that still is still using a first past the post voting system. Between 80 and 90 countries in the developed world have had a proportional voting system of one kind or another for most of the last century.

Our system often results in phony majority governments with only 40 per cent of the votes or less like the one we have now and tends to be exclusive, com-petitive and adversarial. In our

system voter turnout has usually been approximately 60 per cent, sometimes less.

Proportional voting enables parliament to hold government accountable, and it also means that political parties have to nego-tiate with each other to achieve their common goals.

Thats why proportional rep-resentation creates a more con-sensual type of government and a more civilized style of politics.

They force broader partici-pation in government and also broader agreement on govern-ment policies.

These political systems tend to be characterized by inclusive-ness, bargaining and comprom-ise. Consensus democracies tend to have higher levels of voter satis-faction and much higher voter turnout.

They elect more women and minorities, have better social pro-grams, and are at least as well run as we are in terms of inflation and unemployment.

Capital Tax

In its financial platform, the Provincial NDP has announced its intention to apply a capital tax to all BC Credit Unions with capital in excess of $20 million should they be elected.

If this policy is implemented, it will have a signifi-cant impact on our organization and the people and organizations associated with us.

This tax will be applied regardless of how profitable the credit union is. While other provinces in Can-ada apply a capital tax on business, cooperative enter-prises such as credit unions, are exempted from the tax.

As we understand this proposal, the cost to Koo-tenay Savings will be roughly $780,000 per year and

will continue to increase annually as our capital base increases.

This is a significant cost that will ultimately be borne by our members, our communities and our employ-ees, as it will have to be paid from income that would otherwise be shared with our members, contributed to community organizations or paid in salaries and benefits.

We sincerely hope that the NDP will reconsider this proposed tax on Credit Unions should they form the next Provincial Government.

Brent Tremblay President and CEO Kootenay Savings Credit Union

All politicians should have 3 hats - one to throw into the ring, one to talk through, and one to pull rabbits out of if elected-

Carl Sandburg

Getting elected is only the beginning. For some politicians, it is the start of a journey that will be remembered as a time where great things were accomplished, or fail-ures were written about on a daily basis.

After what could have been described as a two-year campaign to win the hearts and minds of the voters in British Colum-bia, the latest election has now come and gone.

During this period we have heard from all of the parties candidates about what they are going to do to look after us.

Now the time has once again come where polit-icians have to sit back and realize that they have been elected. This means that all of those promises they talked about over the past two years, they now have to try to accomplish.

The main problem with this is all too often the promises made are like Christmas, when jolly old St. Nick mixes up the houses he brings presents to. Then no one gets what they really wanted.

There seems to be two ways to get a vote in modern democratic elections promise the world, or remind everyone just how terrible the other parties are.

During the run up to this election, voters were promised many things to make them want to vote for one party over another. Then on top of that, we are told to be afraid...be very afraid, of those other parties because if they get elected it will be one step closer to the apocalyptic nightmare we all know will come.

That is the nature of the democracy beast. All too often I have heard people make comments

around how they were going to vote for one side or the other, not because they particularly like the party or candidate, but more because they fear what the other side will do.

It is too bad that fear campaigns are where we are in politics today. But it is true because they work. Fear can be a great factor to help get someone elect-ed, and that is a dangerous game to play.

Of course now that the election has ended par-ties will go to Victoria and sit across from each other and debate and debate and debate, about all of the important things for the province.

Where will money be spent? How much help will seniors and children receive? Will the pipeline ever be built, and is there enough cash floating around to fill a few of the bigger holes on the Trans Canada Highway around Golden?

The BC NDP have once again ended up on the opposition side of the house. For them the next few years will be spent complaining about all the things the government should be doing.

For the BC Liberals, history will start the time clock on how they will be remembered.

Those in power are the ones who get remembered for all they accomplish or for where they failed. Only time will tell us if all the promises made really accom-plish anything in the end.

Carbon tax issues

Dear Editor:

It is more than just another hated tax; the Provin-cial carbon tax and Pacific Carbon Trust are glaring symbols of a failed political system that is monstrously imbalanced and out of touch with taxpayers.

The tax accomplishes nothing according to our Auditor General, has been rejected by all other juris-dictions in North America as an unworkable concept, yet we see no move to address this from either main party. The party in power says it will freeze the current level of the tax but keep it in place, and the opposition party actually plans to expand it and put all the incom-ing funds under the BC Climate Action Secretariat, which is under the discretionary control of the Pre-miers office.

We are in financial distress as a province, taxed to the limit, yet here we are tilting at windmills with this expensive game. We are a symbolic innovator, says one party in justification; the other at one time opposed it, but when it didnt get them elected, they one-eightied and said they really loved it all the time. Whatever your degree of environmentalist commitment, the whole thing analytically nets out as just plumb dumb.

And the hard truth is both main parties mislead, lie or game the subject, and it ends up just being about insatiable taxation and wasteful spending. We tax-payers had no democratic representation whatsoever throughout this dance macabre.

So, if it is such a wasteful disaster as our Auditor Gen-eral says and the public generally hates it and can ill afford it, where are the voices of reason and correct-ive change?

Sorry, the system says, not allowed by party disci-

pline; we want the money more than we want to do right by the taxpayers.

This is a sequel to the HST failure of governance and it is the epitome of a general failure of the system. To all you politicians who advocate nefariously, and to all you politicians who say nothing when you should speak out, you are flirting with sinking this obnoxious ship you sail on.

Beware of your taunting and trivializing the elector-ate, because it is driving us toward a critical mass of dis-satisfaction. You have gone too far.

This may just be the beginning of an end you all cre-ated by the lack of free voices and lack of representa-tive government, and you wouldnt be the first in polit-ical history to have caused your own extinction.

With our School Growth Plan being reviewed and revised for early June, all students are participating in the final District Write in the middle of May.

As well our teachers have met collaboratively to review this years data and goals.

There are still lots of activities and events before the end of May.

Thanks to the Golden Golf Club our Grade 6/7 classes have just finished two golf sessions at the golf course.

We still have our gymnastics equipment in the gym and our Grade 7s will be running a Hoops For Heart fundraiser at Lady Grey and Jump Rope For Heart at Alexander Park Elementary in the afternoon on May 16.

Dont miss our Lady Grey Talent Show on Thursday, May 27 at 1:05.

Thank you to our SPC and PAC executive for all your hard work and effort this year.

Last month they sponsored all our students to have two sessions of gymnastics with Christine Muise at the Kicking Horse Gymnastics club.

It was a great success.

Reminder that our final Lady Grey PAC meeting will be on Monday, May 27 @ 7:00 PM in our school library.

Our Volunteer Appreciation lunch will be on Tues-day, June 4.

If you volunteered at our school this year and can attend please call our office.

Field School Happenings:

Spring has finally come to Field and weve been enjoying playing soccer again! We were very lucky to have painting lessons from Joanie Young in May and the children were quite the budding artists!

This week we start going to Canmore for swimming and gymnastics lessons.

We are looking forward to hosting our moms at the Ladybug Tea and we are very excited to be having a sleepover at school at the end of the month.

Mme. Fouillard is coming to join us as this was her idea (Mrs. Larose is not as excited about it as she is!) Our Grade 3 students are going to spend time with their Grade 3 friends in Mrs. Bennetts class and next years Field Kindies are going to be visiting us at the same time.

As always, its all go at Field School!

Bill Ewing knew the time had come to leave Ontario and found the perfect place to call home after visiting family in Golden.

Ewing came to Golden in 1971 from Chat-ham, Ontario.

He said that one of the main reasons the move was made, was because of his issues with arthritis.

I came out here for a visit to see my father-in-law and it cleared up so I decided to stay.

Ewing said that the dry air in the moun-tains is much better for him compared to the dampness in the air back east.

When he came to Golden the town left a unique first impression on him.

When my wife and I got off the train, we thought we had gone back in time, he said. They still had hitch rails in front of the old lodge where the hostel is now. Even the train station with the wooden platform looked like something from the past.

How the town looked was just the start for Ewing who also fell in love with the mountains.

I liked the scenery. If I go back to Ontario for a holiday, I cant wait to get back because everything changes every day. You look out your window and there are different shapes in the mountain.

The first winter Ewing spent in Golden was one filled with heavy snow.

We had lots of snow back then. I know in 1971 when I was living in the trailer court, I remember shovelling snow off the roof of my trailer, but I had to throw it up in the air, he said. We had a tunnel going from our door out to the road.

Ewing spent a numbers of years working at the mill in Donald.

Me and my cousin would be working out-side when it was minus 20 in our t-shirts. People looked at us kind of funny, but it was different than Ontario. It wasnt damp, it was dry, he said. I miss that mill since it closed down.

One thing he does not miss from those days is moving around the railway ties that were produced at the mill.

Ewing said they were dangerous to move and workers really had to watch their feet when working with them.

The friendliness of the people is something that has never changed since Ewing moved to Golden.

If you went into a store people would talk to you and ask if you wanted anything. Back in Chatham you did not know your neigh-bours. People kept to themselves. Here, I knew almost everyone in the trailer park in a week. The people did and still make you feel wel-comed, he said.

Ewing said things have changed in Golden, many businesses have come and gone over the years, but that is just the way things go.

It has gotten a lot bigger and they have cleaned the town up quite a bit. It seems to get better every year. Some of the older buildings looked scruffy, and they have resurfaced them and made them more mod-ern. It makes it look like home. Thats just the way of life.

Ewing did not enjoy his retirement as much as he hoped he would, so when he is not working part time at Tru Hardware he volunteers with The Royal Canadian Legion in Golden.

It is to support the vets. It is important to keep the Legion going. Those people serve our country and we need to support them, he said.

Bill Ewing came to Golden partially for his health but also for the great view. Darryl Crane/Star Photo

While at a conference in Vernon, Capt. Navneet Ron-deau of the 3066 LdSH(RC) Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps (RCACC), received a Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal.

Rondeau found out in December that she was going to receive the award.

I was surprised and it was hard to believe, she said. It was shocking and exciting. I am honoured.

Rondeau did not know that her name was being con-sidered for the award before finding out she was going to receive it.

She felt it was important to say that the award was some-thing she would share with the cadets in Golden.

It was exciting to share with them because they are the reason I have the award. In my opinion, I take pride in what I do and it is nice to be recognized. I dont do it to receive something or to be acknowledged, but it is nice.

Rondeau said that she was humbled to receive the award that has been given to other people in Golden, for whom she has a great deal of respect.

I am so proud to be recognized with people like Paul (Hambruch) and Christina (Benty). I knew Mr. Ham-bruch. He was a great supporter for the cadets. He made personal donations to army cadets that helped us over the years. Christina is a friend of mine and to receive it together makes it a little more special, she said.

Rondeau wanted to stress how important the cadets are for children in the area.

She said the cadets gives members a chance to learn about many different things while making new friends.

It is about adventure and friendship and it is free. There is no charge. We do fund-raising sometimes to support our legion. Right now we are offering services to people who are looking to have their yard maintenance done, with all funds raised going to the local legion.

Anyone interested in using the yard service can call Rondeau at 250-344-2312.
