The Province has decided it would like to make improvements to the Columbia River Treaty after extensive consultation throughout the region and a trip to the U.S. capital.

Bill Bennett, Minister of Energy and Mines and Minister Responsible for Core Review, announced the release of the Province’s draft

recommendation aimed at seeking improve-ments within the existing framework of the Col-umbia River Treaty.

The CRT is a trans-boundary water manage-ment agreement between the United States and Canada (signed in 1961 and ratified in 1964), and was born out of the need for flood control, and a growing demand for electricity.

The provincial government has spent the last several years consulting with various levels of gov-

ernment and residents trying to decide wheth-er it would be in B.C.’s best interest to renew the treaty, terminate it, or try to renegotiate it before it expires in 2024.

The draft recommendation follows a recent trip to Washington D.C. by Premier Christy Clark where she advocated for treaty improve-ments in B.C. during a series of meetings with senior leadership in the United States Congress.

As all Golden residents know, yard waste can no longer be collected as a part of your weekly garbage pick-up service. Doing so will result in it not being emptied.

It was a busy Thanks-giving for Golden Fire Rescue as they had to simultaneous-ly respond to an acci-dent at Rogers Pass and one south of town near Spillamacheen.

“[Multi-tasking] is our job in a nut-shell, we’re bouncing all over all the time. That’s just what we do,” said Chief Ken McClure.

Last Monday was made all the more challenging because the department was short staffed due to the holiday. McClure says that on a typical long weekend he will be left with only 10-12 firefighters in town. A board at the depart-ment is used by fire-fighters to notify the department when they are planning to be out of town. Dur-ing holidays, it is not unheard of for McClure to have to say no to calls out on the highway in order to keep a minimum number of firefight-ers in Golden.

The Golden Con-crete fire on Mar. 6, 2012 was the largest fire that McClure’s department has had to deal with dur-ing his entire time as chief in Gold-en. Because the fire was close enough to town, McClure was able to use his entire crew, along with sev-

eral firefighters from Nicholson as part of the two departments’ mutual aid agree-ment, without worry-ing about not having anyone left behind.

While Golden’s firefighters were bat-tling the large blaze, the department had to respond to a motor vehicle accident as

well. McClure was able to free up two of his people and send them to handle that situation.

“It takes a little bit of planning,” McClure said. “But I always have an effi-cient crew left behind to protect the citizens of Golden. They’re my first priority.”

Busy long weekend for Golden Fire


The Provincial Health Service Authority’s mobile medical unit was in Golden last week as part of a planned mis-sion to raise aware-ness as well as to train local staff on its many uses.

The unit is a mobile hospital that is used for disaster manage-ment and construc-tion projects around British Columbia.

Recently the unit was in Pemberton for two months while they remodelled the local clinic and at Surrey Memorial Hospital during that

facility’s flood, which shut down the emer-gency room late last year.

The mobile med-ical unit is the only

one of its kind in Canada, and it has room for about eight stretchers inside. It is capable of per-forming a multitude

of tasks, from basic first aid to surgical procedures.

A second truck carrying supplies accompanies the

unit. The unit left Gold-

en on Friday Oct. 18 and headed for Revelstoke for the second leg of its trip.

I Break the Rules, But I do it SafelyOne of the most common responses that I received having stopped a driver for a tra� c

violation was a rationalization or justi� cation for the behaviour I observed. The driver clearly knew that what they were doing was against the tra� c laws but in their minds they were still being safe. Exceeding the speed limit, slowing down for stop signs, or even driving on the wrong side of the road could be excused because “No one else was around.” If that was the case, where did I and my fully marked police vehicle materialize from?

Brake is a road safety charity in the UK. They partnered with an insurance company and surveyed 1,000 drivers about their own driving and their perception of other drivers. Among their � ndings are 63% of young drivers feel that it is more dangerous than safe to drive, 46% of men break the rules, but only when they can do it safely and that 99% think that they are at least as safe as the average driver.

I suspect that if this survey was conducted here in British Columbia the results would be much the same. Most of us think that we are better than the average driver, something that cannot be true. This perception of our own capabilities can lead to poor decision making which in the context of driving may mean injury and death. That costs us all when we pay our taxes and renew the insurance for our vehicles.

Will the BC government take this in� ated perception of capability into consideration when they review the public input of the speed limit survey planned for next month? I hope so because my experience has shown me that some drivers have neither the knowledge nor the forethought to contribute in a truly useful way. Driver education should be a driving career long e� ort, not one that ends when we � rst receive our full licence.

Mayor Christina Benty, and Lori Baxendale, president of the Kicking Horse Country Chamber of Commerce, didn’t know what to expect when they were invited to the Southern Interior Commercial Building Awards in Kelowna.

But they returned home with two very special honours on Golden’s behalf. The Golden Civic Centre was the recipient of two awards, the Best Community Building and Judge’s Choice (picture on page 1).

The awards cover the entire interior region, with most nominations and wins going to buildings in the Thompson Okanagan, and Kelowna in particular.

Benty and Baxendale were invited to the event earlier in the week, and were very shocked and hon-oured to be returning with the awards.

The Golden Civic Centre had its grand opening nearly two years ago, and has been receiving great praise ever since. It has hosted countless events including concerts, weddings, community meetings, and much more.

Do you have what it takes to spot a small vehicle or plane from 1,000 feet up in the air?

There is a group of dedicated volunteers in Golden who train to be able to do just that, help find people in distress when ground search and rescue crews can’t spot them.

CASARA, Civilian Air Search and Rescue Association, trains volunteers to search from the sky when someone has gone missing.

“If someone goes down, it’s nice to know that someone will be out looking. That’s why I do this,” said Kendall Duce, the CASARA air dep-uty for Golden.

Volunteer spotters have to spend three hours a year getting academic training (learning about safety and how to properly search from the air), and go on three training exercise flights, which is one of the main draws for vol-

unteers.“Going up in the plane can be a lot of fun,

which is the reason that some people volun-teer. I stay on the ground because my stom-ach doesn’t like being up in the air,” said Duce, who lost his lunch on his first flight up.

“The more volunteers we have the better, that way if someone can’t make it in the event of an emergency, there’s someone else to take their place.”

CASARA assisted in a rescue mission this past summer, searching for a red pick-up truck that went into Toby Creek near Canal Flats.

The commitment for volunteers is quite min-imal, but they should be in basic good health with relatively good eyesight.

Anyone interested in volunteering can con-tact Duce at 250-344-7055, or go to a CASARA event if they know a current member.

More information on the national associa-tion can be found at www.casara.ca.

Kicking Horse Ford is well known in town for its selection of new and used vehi-cles, but it’s another slice of the pie that is starting to become a real winner for the local dealership.

“It’s a part of the business that we real-ly enjoy,” said Dan Maisonneuve about his dealership’s sales of classic cars. “They’re interesting, they have a lot of character and they generate traffic for the dealer-ship.”

Kicking Horse Ford started with buy-ing the odd classic car here and there and found that there is a solid market for the vintage vehicles in this area. Now, Maison-neuve and his partner will frequent classic car auctions and do internet searches for their next purchases. Their reputation as an active member of the classic car indus-try means that they’ll get calls from other dealers who aren’t in the business alerting them of potential deals.

Most of Ford’s classic car buyers are from

the area, but the dealership has had buyers from all over, especially from European countries like Sweden and Switzerland, where classic Fords, Dodges and Chevro-lets can be sold for considerably more than what they cost in Canada.

For Maisonneuve, a self-described “car nut”, half of the fun is in the search for the dealership’s next purchase.

“The chase is as much fun, or more, as the actual selling of the car. You find what you thought was a great, great deal, and you bring it here and find out it was a super buy, you can’t wait to sell it so you can go out and do it again,” he said.

The appeal of a great, classic car is easy for Maisonneuve to understand. It all comes down to feelings of nostalgia.

“A lot of it was that it’s the car that they had, or wanted in high school...we hear the story virtually every time someone comes in, and that’s what they’ll say ‘I used to have one of these’...so they have that connection from way back when, and that really tugs at the heart strings for them.”

Unfortunately for customers now, their

dream car that once cost $3,000 now fre-quently costs $30,000 or more.

“That’s an overriding story that you hear

all the time, ‘I used to have one of these, I paid $3,100, I should have kept it!” said Maisonneuve.

Golden is becoming a hot spot for classic car collectors

The Columbia River Treaty Review Team is also continuing to engage U.S. parties to explain B.C.’s perspectives.

The draft recommendation includes princi-ples that will guide the Province in any discus-sions on the future of the treaty with Canada and the United States. These include consider-ation of flood control, hydropower generation, ecosystems, climate change and benefits to B.C.

“We believe there are improvements that can be made within the existing framework of the Columbia River Treaty and we’re working with various stakeholders, First Nations and the pub-lic to identify them. The treaty consultations helped form our draft recommendation, and further feedback will ensure everyone will have their say in the future of the treaty,” said Ben-nett.

The provincial Columbia River Treaty Review has included economic, environmental, social,

hydrological and legal analyses as well as exten-sive public and First Nations consultation lead-ing to a decision on whether to continue, amend or terminate the Columbia River Treaty with the United States. Both B.C.’s treaty review team and the U.S. Entity (Bonneville Power Admin-istration and the US Army Corps of Engineers) are expected to make final recommendations to their respective governments in December.

The draft recommendation document is avail-able for public review and comment until Nov. 20, 2013, after which the Columbia River Treaty Review Team will prepare its final recommen-dation to Cabinet. Further public input is being sought to ensure regional interests help shape the future of the Columbia River Treaty.

The review team will be in Golden for a con-sultation on Tuesday Nov. 5 at the Golden Civic Centre.

The draft recommendation can be viewed at www.gov.bc.ca/columbiarivertreaty, where there is also space provided for feedback.

The annual Chil-dren’s Halloween Party returns to the Golden and Dis-trict Arena on Satur-day Oct. 26 from 3 to 5 p.m., followed by a loonie costume pub-lic skate from 5 to 6:45 p.m.

The afternoon will feature some of the classic kid’s activities with themed crafts, games, play zone and a haunted dressing room.

Costumes are encouraged and priz-es will be handed out at random to all par-ticipants. The event is hosted for toddlers to 12 years, however everyone is welcome to attend.

This year Town of Golden Recreation Services has teamed

up with the Gold-en Senior Second-ary leadership class to host the party.

“Recreation Servi-ces is excited to work with the leadership team on crafting up the event,” said Jordan Petrovics Manager of Recreation Services with the Town of Gold-en.

“We are working with a group of stu-dents who are pas-sionate about being active and making a difference in the com-munity. The event is an opportunity for the class to get some hands-on experience with planning and leading a community activity.”

“We are grateful to have the support of these student leaders. When we introduced the partnership con-cept to the class, the

majority of the stu-dents shared stor-ies about how much fun they had at these events growing up. I’m looking forward to seeing the crea-tivity the teams puts towards hosting the event for this genera-

tion of kids,” said Kim Bryan, Recreation Services Co-ordinator.

In exchange for the support, Recreation Services will be mak-ing a donation to the high school yearbook, one of the leadership class’ major projects.

Vandalized vehicles

The RCMP are inves-tigating a number of incidents of vandal-ism to vehicles in town. On Oct. 10, a man dis-covered that both of his windows had been smashed in when he picked up his vehicle near the Rockwater after leaving it there overnight.

On Oct. 11 a per-son’s vehicle had its side mirror smashed off. On Oct. 14 a

vehicle parked on 8th St. S had its tail-lights smashed in and on Oct. 16 a person discovered that their vehicle had its front windshield smashed while it was parked for a couple of days near Reflection Lake.

Because occur-rences of vehicle van-dalism don’t usually occur this frequently, the RCMP aren’t rul-ing out the possibil-ity that these incidents could be connected. Anyone with infor-mation about these crimes is urged to con-

tact Golden RCMP.

Fatal accident on Highway 95

RCMP are investi-gating a single vehicle accident that occurred at 5 p.m. near Spilla-masheen. The inves-tigation has deter-mined that a north bound 1992 Acura left the roadway and rolled over after impacting the bank of a creek. The road conditions were reportedly good at the time of the colli-sion.

The lone male occu-

pant was deceased when police arrived at the scene. Any poten-tial witnesses are asked to contact Sgt. Mike Pears of the Trans Can-ada Traffic Services unit in Golden at 250-344-4002.

Fight in Spillima-cheen

RCMP members responded to reports of a fight in Spillima-cheen on the evening of Oct. 15. When police arrived, one woman had sustained a knife wound to her arm. This

was the second time this month that police have attended this address for a slashing or stabbing.

The 22 year-old man accused of the stab-bing is currently being held in police custody because of his criminal history and the severity of this incident.

Two shoplifting inci-dents in town

Police were called to Higher Ground Moun-tain Sports at 5:20 p.m. on Oct. 17 to investi-gate a female shoplift-

er. The woman had attempted to steal a few toques. Also on Oct. 17, police were called to The Bargain Shop to

investigate a caucasian that was observed steal-ing candy before she eventually ran down the street.

Marijuana Referendum

To the editor,

Imagine the current pot smok-er in B.C. He is arrested for pos-session and acquires a criminal record. Then, if he is a teacher or other public employee, he loses his job. You can’t work in public service with a record. If he has a mortgage, he loses his house. If he is financing a car, bye-bye car. If he goes to find a new job, good luck. A long list of jobs require a crimin-al record check. If he wishes to vis-

it American cousins to relieve his stress, he finds that he is perma-nently on the no-fly list, a condi-tion that even an official pardon will not change.

If our arrestee is a youth, he is put through youth court, a pro-cess that traumatizes both him and his family, something that would never have happened had he been caught with a beer. Under Sensible B.C.’s amended police act, there would be none of the above. Youth would be dealt with in the same manner as youth caught drinking alcohol.

Is it enough? No. We want a legal system. But eliminating that trauma listed above is much more than a gesture, hip or otherwise. It would save millions of tax dollars, and countless personal lives from the legal shredder.

And as to the “criminal dis-tributors,” of which you disap-prove, well, some of them are pot farmers, aren’t they? Maybe if we decriminalized, we could all learn to call them something like that.

Speed Limits

Editor,

This government wants to increase where one can buy booze so we will have more drunks. Drunks who drink and drive — then you want to increase speed?

So many accidents are caused by speed and drinking drivers. No matter what speed there is, B.C. drivers will drive faster.

Why blame slower drivers if they drive in the right lane that allows others to pass? Look at the speed on the Ger-man highways. They have horrific crashes.

So speed is not the answer. You need to concentrate on the stupid drivers.

When I moved to B.C. in 1956, B.C. had the best drivers

in the world. We had driver tests each year. Cars had to be maintained. If people were given tickets for poor driving, you had to pay.

Not like it is now — people break the law by not paying up and this government does nothing about it.

If B.C. Transit had put in turnstiles they would not be in debt, because people caught not paying simply never pay. You allow people to do as they please.

I say no to increasing the speeds on our roads and high-ways. Speed needs to be reduced.

Get after the poor drivers.

Sincerely, Eileen Nattrass Central Saanich

Winter is on its way. And even though there are great perks that go along with that, like the beauty of the snow-capped moun-tains, and the fun and excitement of all the winter sports available in the Rockies, there are also some pretty big hassles.

Plowing the drive-way is never fun, nei-ther is the cost to heat your home.

And at the very top of that list, for me at least, is car care.

Winter tires and block heaters I was pre-pared for.

But this week I got a wonderful surprise from the mechanic. Apparently I need a “rear main seal” to stop my car from leaking oil. The esti-mated cost to fix it will pretty much clean me out.

With the increasing cost of maintaining a vehicle, sometimes it’s a wonder that we drive at all. When you factor in the cost of gas in this town my vehicle starts to rival my rent for big-gest expense in my budget. The logical solu-tion would be to combine the two expenses and start living in my car, but I’m not that des-perate yet.

I am possibly the only person in Golden who hates biking, but the idea of cycling to work is sounding better and better.

The fact is, in Golden you need a reliable vehicle, especially in the winter. Most things in town are walking distance, but the things that make Golden special (all the outdoor activities in the surrounding area), require a vehicle to get to.

And truth be told, I love owning a car. There’s a sense of freedom you get from knowing you can hop behind the wheel and go wherever want, whenever you want. And that feeling is worth the expense.

However, that vehicle needs to be main-tained properly, again especially in the win-ter. Too many accidents on the highways sur-rounding Golden are caused by vehicles that are not properly equipped for winter driving.

It is now law to have winter tires on your vehi-cles on many B.C. highways during the win-ter season. I’m glad to see this law come into effect, and think it will make our roads safer to travel on.

I know I’ve spent most of this article whining about my car, but the truth is I am thankful that there are reliable mechanics in town that will keep me safe on the roads without gouging me to do it.

Do you like the B.C. laws regarding mandatory winter tire use?

“Yes. I used to be involved with search & rescue. I’d see at least three accidents a week in winter, often caused by

poor tires.”

“Yes, and I think it’s a good law for rental companies as well. I’ve seen many accidents caused by poor

tires.”

Do you have any questions about your community, something you’ve been won-dering about but never knew who to ask?

Email your questions to [email protected], or drop them off at The Golden Star office at 419A 9th Ave. N.Question: Why is the news-

paper cut or folded differ-ently. I don’t find it any easier to hold or read, and I think it looks and feels odd.

Answer: In the spring of 2013 The Golden Star switched printing presses, moving from Penticton to one much closer in Cran-brook.

The new presses auto-matically cut and fold the papers so that the back pages are wider. This makes it easi-er to flip straight to the mid-dle where the flyers and special sections are. This is becoming more common with newer printing presses.

Say What?

We live in one of the most beautiful, natur-al settings in the world. In the communities I represent, we hunt, fish, gather firewood, snowmobile, ski, hike and bike on the Crown Land that surrounds us. And many actually make their living on the land.

We know the land and we understand the land. And decisions that are made concern-ing the land base can have serious repercus-sions on our lives and our economy.

It is for this reason that we need to have a say on what happens on the land that we live on. But the Premier doesn’t agree.

One of the most successful examples of community participation in land use plan-ning has been the Golden Backcountry Rec-reational Access Plan (GBRAP). The plan was

developed by local stakeholders and users to establish patterns of recreational use in order to maintain valuable recreations experien-ces, promote and manage tourism, and man-age our impact on important wildlife habi-tat. But we now hear that after more than a decade of honouring GBRAP, the BC Liber-als have instructed staff that GBRAP should be ignored.

And attempts by local residents in the Upper Columbia Valley to create their own Backcountry Recreational Access Plan were actively undermined by the BC Liberals with clear instructions to ministry staff not to participate. This is the same geographic area where the BC Liberals placed 6000 hec-tares of public land into the hands of Jum-

bo Glacier Resort, against the wishes of local people.

I believe that one of the fundamental prin-ciples of our democracy must be the ability of local people to make decisions about their land base. The BC Liberals believe exactly the opposite.

If you think that your opinion should mat-ter, speak out. Tell the Premier what you think by emailing [email protected] and [email protected].

You can also support organizations that are committed to making the best decisions for our natural resources.

And I will continue to work as hard as I can as your MLA to ensure that you have a say on what happens on the land.

The students and staff at Nicholson have been very busy the last few weeks both with academics and extra activities both inside and outside of the school.

Mrs. Lillies’ Kindergarten class and Ms. Putney’s grade 1/2 class both visited the fire hall this week as part of Fire Safety Week. The students walked to the fire hall for a tour and then rode the fire truck back to the school. Rob Anderson, Nicholson’s fire chief, also visited Mrs. Olson’s grade 2/3 class for a presentation on fire safe-ty. The students in all three classes then received good-ie bags. Thank you to the Chief Anderson and the com-munity of Nicholson for this opportunity.

Friday, October 11, the grade 4-7 classes attended a cul-tural performance at GSS put on by LAPIS. The students enjoyed the performance very much! A great big thank you to the high school for including our students in this event.

Monday, October 7, Mrs. Hunt’s grade 6/7 class trav-

elled to Parson to take part in a leadership workshop with the grade 6/7 class from Lady Grey. This was a wonderful opportunity for the students to work together and learn leadership skills. The students enjoyed the day and put their new skills to work immediately at the school. Some of the students organized a soccer tournament for the younger students at the school and did all the refereeing and planning. Great job to those involved!!!

This past week the students were dismissed early so that we could hold parent, student, teacher interviews. The staff enjoyed meeting all the parents and discussing the successes that their children have achieved. Thank you to all the parents for attending.

Nicholson Elementary School is a wonderful and busy place for all the students and staff due to the strong sup-port of the community. We look forward to many more exciting things to happen at our school!

Jim and Lee Oseychuk call their five acre piece of property south of town a life-long project, and with the amount of work they have put into it, it would be hard to blame them if it took twice that long to complete.

The Oseychuk’s didn’t get together until 1987. Before that they had very different backgrounds. Jim grew up in Donald and has always lived in the area.

His father had encouraged him to get into the logging business and follow in his foot-steps, but, as Jim recalls, a frightening inci-dent quickly put an end to that idea.

“[My father] dislodged a big boulder with his D7 Cat, which hit a huge dead snag which toppled and crashed directly behind me and ripped my shirt right off of my back. It knocked me forward about 10 feet,” he said. Not surprisingly, that was the beginning of the end of his career as a logger.

Eventually the family relocated to Gold-en and his mom opened up a shop and deli called The Log Deli, at the location that is now the Wolf’s Den.

“It was a wonderful, wonderful place. People were really comfortable there,” Jim said.

The construction of the log building also gave Jim and his brother Rob, a good idea of what their father was capable of when it came to construction.

Sadly, Jim’s mom died of cancer just a few years after her shop opened. With no one to run his mother’s shop, he decided to open up a neighbourhood pub at the same location, which was made possible with a change of the liquor laws around that time. Since he didn’t have a lot of money for tables, booths and bartops, all of that had to be made by hand. According to Jim, woodworking was just

something that came naturally to him, and the hand-crafted furnishings gave the pub a lot of character.

The Mad Trapper opened on Nov. 15, 1975 and it soon became one of the most unique establishments in town. That’s when he met Lee, who worked at the pub, although the couple wouldn’t begin dating until much later.

Lee grew up in Chapel Hill, North Caro-lina to what she calls a very conservative and strict family. After high school, and not knowing what she wanted to do with her life, Lee and a friend decided to take a road trip to Alaska, a place they had both dreamed of visiting. Their cross-continent trip took them through Golden, where they hap-pened to stop for gas and a bite to eat.

“We could have just kept on going straight…turning off the highway into Gold-en was the best turn I’ve ever made,” she said.

Lee and her friend decided to stay in Gold-en for the winter and make an eventual push for Alaska in the spring. That trip never materialized, because Lee had found her new home.

Lee worked for the B.C. Forest Service for 25 years, with most of her time spent in the field of reforestation.

“It was a wonderful, somewhat physically gruelling job, and I loved it,” she said.

In 1976, Jim bought five acres of land south of Golden and began building his home the next year.

“It was a really nice property, and it was quiet. It was my refuge [from] the pub, which was full on busy as soon as you stepped in the door. Eventually, after five years of running the pub, when I had a hard time leaving my home, I knew it was time to sell,” he said.

After the bar was sold, Jim then did some work as both a carpenter and forestry survey-

or, before eventually teaming up with a good friend to do dangerous tree removal and work as local arborists.

“Everything seemed to involve either wood or trees,” he said.

After witnessing his friend’s portable saw mill in action, Jim decided he had to have one of his own. Now he’s on his third mill and does custom wood orders and speciality pieces, beams, and cedar siding, among other prod-ucts. “Anything that is unique that you can’t quite buy at the store,” he said. His business, Osprey Custom Wood Products, is now his full time job. With his portable mill, Jim was involved in the construction of the pedes-trian bridge in town, a job he calls extreme-ly rewarding.

After Lee moved in with Jim and the couple started a family together, Jim’s bach-elor cabin underwent some drastic changes. They added an extension to give themselves, and their two children, some more room. As

Lee loved gardening so much, Jim built her a unique garden shed to store her tools, along with a small attached room for reading and relaxation. Their son, Anders, is an accom-plished wood turner, and has his own shop on the family’s property where he can prac-tice his craft. Their daughter, Leanne, lives in Invermere, and alongside her husband have recently established the valley’s first micro brewery, Arrowhead Brewing Com-pany. Now, Jim is working on building a tim-ber frame woodworking shop that will have a guesthouse for visitors on the second floor.

“Having a sawmill, I have too many pro-jects on the go. As soon as I cut a nice piece of wood, I say ‘Oh, I know where that’s going,” he said.

With a property full of possibilities, the Oseychuks don’t appear to be close to finish-ing work on their home, and for a couple that seems to love home improvement projects, they’re just fine with that.

Couple’s home an endless project

Tourism GoldenSubmitted

After a scorching start to September, the snow on the mountain tops and the chill in the air signal that summer is now really over.

Whilst there are still RVs around town and a few tourists travelling, for many accommoda-tors and activity provid-ers the main season has wound down.

Tourism Golden is

delighted to report that many businesses are reporting summer 2013 as their best sum-mer ever. After a dif-ficult June with Can-more and Banff flood-ing interrupting the travel plans of many, it seems that July, August and even Sep-tember delivered rec-ord months. Visitors came from Canada, Germany, UK, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Israel and the USA.

Many accommo-dators are reporting the great news that the average length of stay in Golden is also increasing. Visitors are telling us that Gold-en is a great location from which to visit Yoho, Glacier and Koo-tenay National Parks. They are also delight-ed to be able to do so many things in Golden itself.

The other interest-ing piece of feedback we are getting is that visitors say how nice the area is and that it feels like a ‘real Can-adian town’ compared to the other spots they find themselves in that are a little more com-mercial and touristy!

This feedback is a dir-

ect reflection on the five-year Strategic Plan being implemented by Tourism Golden; dif-ferentiation for a des-tination is critical and we will continue to pos-ition ourselves as an authentic town, rich in history and herit-age, set in a spectacu-lar mountain setting. In the peak of sum-mer over 8,000 people a week were research-ing Golden on Trip-Advisor, one of the main online sources of destination informa-tion and we are work-ing hard to link our TG website to TripAdvisor and other influential online research and planning sites with the result that the Tour-ism Golden website received an average of 16,000 visits monthly – an increase of over 35 per cent from the pri-or year.

On behalf of the Town of Golden and the RMI Develop-ment Strategy, Tour-ism Golden launched a research project in 2013 which will col-lect visitor data for an extended period. This will help to bet-ter understand who are our key visitors and

where they come from, their travel motivations and how perceptions of Golden change after a visit here.

Additionally Tour-ism Golden has increased placed an increased focus on PR and media relations, successfully hosting traditional travel jour-nalists as well as trav-el bloggers and online photo-journalists. The results can already be seen with editorials in regional newspapers and publications as well as national and international print and online publications such as Details Maga-zine in the US, and the Guardian newspaper in the UK. Additional-ly Golden has recorded over 27 million impres-sions through online travel blogs and social media since August 2013.

Key successes in the recently closed 2012-2013 fiscal year include the re-launch of the website www.tourism-golden.com, the cre-ation of a new Hik-ing Trail Map which includes local trails as well as featuring maps of Yoho and Glacier National Parks, and

the successful pitch to host two of six bike races in the Transrock-ies Singletrack 6 race in July 2014 will firmly secure Golden’s place as an iconic biking des-tination.

The team at Tour-ism Golden has a long list of planned activ-ity for the upcoming 2013-2014 year. This includes attending activity specific con-sumer shows such as wedding shows and snowmobile shows, hosting more media visits and creating an event which will show-case Golden’s herit-age as a true mountain town.

Keep an eye out for the new 2014 Snow-mobile Trail Map which will be launched this week and which has a new and improved map format.

Additionally the 2014 Golden Travel Planner is now under-way with the confi-dence of the tour-ism community evi-denced by a 20 per cent increase in partner advertising. The 2014 Planner will include an additional eight pages, making this the largest Travel Planner yet.

For adventur-er, public speak-er and author Jon Turk, there is a cer-tain ‘magic of vul-nerability’ that he feels when he tackles mother nature head on.

“It’s about letting go and not being in control,” Turk said. “I think the the whole problem with humanity is that we decided that

we could dominate nature. Once you let go of that, even if it could mean you’re going to die, then you put yourself in a different headspace. I think that’s a won-drous headspace to be in.”

Turk was in Golden Oct. 16 to give a pres-entation and tell a few of his stories of adventure, includ-ing a circumnaviga-tion of Ellesmere Island in Canada’s arctic and a bicycle

trip to the Tibetan plateau in search of the birthplace of the Dalai Lama. On his trip in the arctic, Turk, along with his partner Erik Boom-er, encountered a wolf, polar bears and an ice field that delayed them for a couple of weeks. At the end of the 104 day expedition across one of the harshest environ-ments on Earth, Turk joked to Boom-er that they should

go again and try and break 100. He wasn’t joking about another lap of the world’s 10th largest island for long, how-ever, as soon after his re-arrival into civiliz-ation, his body broke down and he had to be evacuated to a hospital in Ottawa.

“What crossed my mind was how amaz-ing it is that you can push yourself to the brink of death by sheer willpower. On some level, that was pretty cool,” he said.

The aircraft carry-ing Turk arrived at the hospital just in time to save his life. At the time, he claimed that he was done with adven-turing, but that just couldn’t last.

“It’s in my blood,” he said.

Turk sees one big difference between his lifestyle and the lifestyle of Christo-pher McCandless, who died on his Alas-kan adventure and was made famous by the book “Into the

Wild”, along with the movie of the same name.

“I think you can go into the wilder-ness as an escape, or you can go into it as a positive thing. If you go in as an escape, you are kind of head-ed in the wrong dir-ection, then you aren’t paying atten-tion to what’s going on and that’s when you get in trouble.”

Turk has auth-ored three books about his adven-tures, including his

most recent publi-cation “The Raven’s Gift”, which is about a trip through the Siberian wilderness, and “Cold Oceans: Adventures in Kay-ak, Rowboat and Dogsled”. Turk is currently working on his fourth book that is due to be pub-lished in the near future. His current tour began with his presentation in Golden and will take him to numerous other communities in B.C.

BC Hydro has started planning work to allow Revelstoke Unit 6 Project to be constructed by 2020. The project is being advanced as a contingency project should future electricity demand be higher than expected as described in BC Hydro’s August 2013 Integrated Resource Plan. As outlined in that plan, BC Hydro’s expected electricity demand would be met by other projects and conservation measures .

Planning work for the Revelstoke Unit 6 Project includes seeking regulatory approvals for the project. The BC Environmental Assessment Office has determined that the project will be reviewed under the BC Environmental Assessment Act. BC Hydro is convening a Core Ccommittee to help with the review.

Do you represent an interest that would be affected by the construction or operation of a sixth generating unit at Revelstoke Generating Station? Are you interested in getting involved to help recommend mitigation measures?

BC Hydro is accepting committee member applications until November 4, 2013. If you are not interested in participating but want to follow the work of the Core Committee, then you can sign up as an observer to receive project information.

Continuing with “Women in Hist-ory” month, here is an article on a great woman, teacher, mentor, mother and citizen!

Ellen Cameron was born in Fernie, in 1907, and spent the early part of her life in that area.

She moved briefly to Victoria where she

trained to become a teacher and then moved to Mayook, B.C., where she taught in her first school.

Teachers’ dut-ies were very differ-ent back then and Ellen was up to all the things that were to come.

Along with teach-ing several grades in a one-room school, she was also required to sweep the floors, keep the fires going and pack water.

During her honey-moon in 1931, Ellen and her husband Neil Cameron, passed through Golden, never suspecting that within a few short years, they would live

here.In 1934 Neil, a

game warden, was transferred to Gold-en and Ellen was soon involved with the school board here. She spent many years on the board and was able to con-tribute greatly with her knowledge as a teacher.

Eventually Ellen returned to teaching and it is in this cap-acity that many of us remember her. Ellen was a no-nonsense teacher who felt that children needed to be disciplined.

Looking back, any-one who had Mrs. Cameron as a teach-er, understands the gem that she was.

Her first priority was to teach, and she though play was for the playground.

Ellen retired from the teaching pro-fession in 1972 and began to work on the revision of Gold-en Memories back in 1982, which was a fol-low-up to work that she, together with the Golden and Dis-trict Historical Soci-ety had produced in 1958.

Ellen was a charter member of the Gold-en and District His-torical Society and worked with many different charities and groups around the Golden area.

Ellen passed away on June 22, 1982, fol-

lowing a lengthy ill-ness. I’m not sure that Ellen had any part in finding this list of rules for teach-ers that we have at the museum but I’m certain she would have enjoyed reading them.

Rules for Teachers 1872

1. Teachers each day will fill lamps, trim the wicks and clean chimneys.

2. Each morning, teacher will bring a bucket of water and a scuttle of coal for the days session.

3. Make your pens carefully. You may whittle nibs to the individual taste of the pupils.

4. Men teachers may take one evening each week for court-ing purposes, or two evenings a week if they attend church regularly.

5. After 10 hours of school, the teach-ers may spend the remaining time read-ing the Bible or any other good book.

6. Women teach-ers who marry or engage in unseemly

conduct will be dis-missed.

7. Every teach-er should lay aside a goodly sum of his earning for his bene-fit during his declin-ing years so that he will not become a burden on society.

8. Any teach-er who smokes, uses liquor in any form, frequents pool or public halls, or gets shaved in a barber shop will give good reason to suspect his worth, intention, integrity and hon-esty.

9. The teach-er who performs his labour faithfully and without fault for five years will be given an increase of 25 cents per week in his pay, providing the board approves.

Mrs. Cameron’s recipe from the 1953 St Paul’s Guild Cook-book

DATE AND ORANGE CAKE

½ cup shortening1 cup sugar1 egg

1 cup chopped dates (or raisins)

grated rind of 1 orange

2 cups all purpose flour

1 tsp. baking pow-der

1 cup sour milk (add a tsp of vinegar to a cup of milk to sour it)

1 tsp baking soda dissolved in 1 tbsp. warm water

Juice of one orange mixed with ½ cup granulated sugar for top of cake

Cream shortening

and sugar, add beat-en egg. Sift flour with baking powder, and add alternately with the sour milk. Save a little flour to dredge dates or raisins and add with chopped nits.

Dissolve soda in warm water and add last. Bake cake at 350 degrees F. in a shal-low pan for 45 min-utes.

Have ready the orange juice and sug-ar mixed together, when cake is baked pour over top and it will form a nice glaze.

Michael Anderson admits he doesn’t have a ton of natural talent. The fact that he has become a key part of the Rockets’ blueline in his third season with the team is a testament to his determination.

“I don’t have a ton of skill, i know that, but I skate well and I

play hard, hit hard, play the puck hard and play smart,” he said.

The 6’4” defence-man from Port Coquitlam joined the Rockets for the 2011/2012 season and has seen his role grow since that time to become one of the Rockets’ leaders in ice-time. Ander-son also wears an ‘A’ as one of the team’s two assistant cap-

tains. Growing up as the youngest of three boys, the blue-liner feels that being placed in a leadership role is a natural fit for him.

“I got picked on a lot, I think that made me mature a lot fast-er than a lot of other guys. Leading has always been some-thing that I’ve had inherently. Not to say that I haven’t tried at it, but it has always come easy for me,” Anderson said.

While the Rockets have struggled out of the gates, Ander-son sees some signs that the team is ready to emerge from their early season slump and fulfill the expect-ations that were placed on the club going into the season.

“We are definitely improving as a team. The first six games looked pretty bad, but we’re definitely making some strides and heading in the right direction as a team.

“Once we get out of this hole that we’re in we’re going to be in really good shape in terms of getting into the playoffs and mak-ing a run at it.”

With winter just around the cor-ner, curling sea-son is upon us and the Golden Curling Club has opened up its doors for another season, with very few chan-ges on the dockett this year.

“Nothing real-ly changes in curl-ing,” club president and longtime curl-er Gilles St. Yves said with a laugh.

The sport’s loyal participants will notice a couple of small changes, however, includ-ing renovations to the club’s stairwell. League nights have also been switched around, with mixed league scheduled for Friday evenings

and men’s league set to go on Tuesday nights.

Drop-in curling will be on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons. Registration for the season is $30, with league fees being added on top of that.

According to St. Yves, curling remains one of the least expensive sports in Golden.

As always, the club will host a few Bonspiel nights throughout the year, including one on Nov. 24 to coincide with the Grey Cup. The fellowship of the sport is what St. Yves, and most regu-lars at the club, enjoy about the sport.

“[I enjoy] the

social part of it. My competitveness is gone. Back in the 80s, I was curling competitvely, but it outgrows you. I play for fun now,” he said.

St. Yves is encour-aging those without an curling experi-ence to come out and give it a try especially kids, who aren’t often seen at the curling rink.

“I heard a couple of years ago that curling wasn’t cool,” said St. Yves with a smile. “Yet other kids love it.”

Those who are interested in sign-ing up, taking les-sons or looking to rent the facilty can contact St. Yves at 250-344-7457 or Club secretary Phyl-lis McTaggart at 250-344-1304.

Drop-in curling is scheduled for Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon, with men’s league nights going on Tuesdays and Mixed league nights set for Fridays. Star File Photo

The Golden Nordic Club is gearing up for a great season as their membership gets stronger and strong-er.

The club has matured over the years, and now has more than 500 mem-bers, and some pres-tigious accomplish-ments to boast, including acting as host to the Nordic Masters competition in 2012.

“I have had lots of positive comments about all aspects of our club, from the tremendous trails and grooming qual-ity, to the friendli-ness of our greeters, instructors and vol-unteers,” said Jeff Dolinsky, president of the club. “I think that’s really notable.”

Volunteers have been busy the over the past year, espe-cially during the off season, upgrading some of the facili-ties that make Dawn Mountain and its 33 kilometres of groomed trails so unique.

A new green trail has been built, improvements have been made to some of the existing trail net-work, and upgrades were made to the cha-let, including finish-ing the kitchenette and improving the bathrooms.

“There are a tre-mendous number of volunteers who keep this club going,” said

Dolinsky. Many mem-bers put in more than 40 hours, significant-ly higher than the required 10 hours to receive their volun-teer discount.

All of the groom-ing, greeting, trail building and main-tenance, and coach-ing is all done by club volunteers. The work they have put in is really starting to pay off as Dawn Moun-tain’s reputation gets better and better.

“I’ve heard people say that this is one of their favourite places to go and ski,” said Dolinsky. “We can now bank of the fact

that we are attracting skiers from all over the country who will return for more.”

For anyone who has not taken advan-tage of the great cross country skiing facili-ties in Golden, this would be a good year to try it out. The rent-al program out of the Nordic Club chalet is continuing to grow, and will be including skate skis this year.

To find out more about the club, the trails in town, as well as details about prices and rentals, go to the club’s website at www.goldennor-dicclub.ca.

Golden Nordic Club continues to grow

In addition to maintaining the trails and keeping up the facilities, the Golden Nordic Club also hosts several events throughout the year, like the Nordic Masters in 2012. Star Photo


The Rockets avenged a pair of earlier loss-es by beating the Kimberley Dynamiters 4-2 thanks to some tight checking defending and a few timely goals. The Dynamiters, who led the Eddie Mountain Division heading into Friday night’s action, managed just 21 shots against a Rockets team that had what was easily one of their best defensive efforts of the season.

The game got off to a very promising start for the home side when veteran defenceman Michael Anderson scored just over a minute into the first on a screened shot from the point. It was just the third goal of his KIJHL career for the big stay-at-home defender.

A few chances were exchanged through the rest of the period, with the Dynamiters manag-ing just three shots in the first frame. Golden had several power play opportunities but failed to capitalize and extend the lead.

“I think we’ve gotta finish a little bit better. There are certain times in the game when we have [the opposition] on the ropes and we let them back in,” said Rockets’ head coach Ty Davidson after the game.

The defensive struggle continued in the second, but the Dynamiters did find a way back into the game. Five minutes into the per-iod, Dynamiters’ forward Dallin Wolf managed to block a Brett DeFrias shot and win the bat-tle up ice to centre the puck to teammate Jason Richter, who made no mistake and knotted the game up 1-1.

After the Rockets killed off a pair of penal-ties late in the second, they took a power play

into the third looking for the lead. Unfortu-nately for the home team and the crowd of 248 that had come out to cheer them on, a Rock-ets giveaway led to a shorthanded breakaway for Dynamiters’ forward Dylan Sibbald, who beat Golden netminder Brian Parsons for a 2-1 lead. The Rockets were not deterred, however, and responded just 24 seconds later with a goal by Ian Desrosier. The eventual game-winning goal came from Tanner Watt, who now has four points in his last four games after tallying just a single point in his first seven contests of the sea-son.

The lead seemed precarious at times as the Dynamiters pushed for the equalizer, but the fans in attendance at the Plywood Palace were able to breathe a big sigh of relief when Con-nor Beauchemin broke in alone on Dynamit-ers’ goaltender Jeremy Mousseau and put the final nail in Kimberley’s coffin.

It was a good all-around effort for the Rockets against a club that had their number up until last night, and the win is one that Davidson hopes his team can build upon.

“Only six points separates us from Kimberley, the year is still up for grabs. Obviously we have to put some pressure on ourselves. We can’t continue just to flounder and not get wins. We’ve gotta be able to get some wins and we did that tonight, and we’re feeling pretty good about ourselves,” he said following the game.

The Rockets experienced a set back on their road to a playoff spot when they fell 3-1 to the Grizzlies in Revelstoke. They’ll look to get back in the win column tonight (Oct. 23) when they play host to the Columbia Valley Rockies. Puck drop is at 7:30 p.m.
