No silicatosis concerns, says Hi Test Sand VP Joel [email protected]

Over the last week, many Goldenites expressed environmental con-cerns through social media following reports that Edmonton-based Hi Test Sand is considering opening a silicon metal plant south of town.

Environmental concerns are always a consideration with these kinds of projects, says Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Mac-

Donald, and he has had several productive discussions with Hi Test officials since the proposal’s inception.

“There’s no question that there is tremendous appeal to the possi-bility of substantial employment…The other factors, of course, are that we live in this area and many have for generations or intend to…you have to look after the environment and you have to make sure that we’re thinking of our friends and neighbours in the community who may be living in close proximity,” he said.

After decades of serv-ing the community, Dr. Peterson is retiring as Golden's own veterin-arian. But pet owners need not be worried. Invermere's Veterin-ary Hospital will be fill-ing the void, and pro-viding services for two days a week at the Gold-en location.

"If Golden did not have a veterinarian there, it would mean a

lot of travel for the pet owners," said Dr. Mark Zehnder. "If some-one got into an acci-dent travelling for an appointment I would feel just terrible."

So when Zehnder learned of Peterson’s retirement, coming at the end of the month, he and the team at Invermere Veterinary Hospital decided they would do what they can to continue service in Golden.

There will be a couple

weeks where the clin-ic is closed while they work on the transition, then Zehnder and Dr. Thiessen will be mak-ing themselves avail-able, in the same space, on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

“It’s difficult timing because I am going to be taking some time off, which was planned long before this situ-ation came up,” said Zehnder. “We’re work-ing on recruiting a new veterinarian...and when that happens we will expand service in Golden to more than just two days a week.”

Peterson will be con-tinuing to offer equine services and make house calls to farms in the area.

The clinic will be shut down for the first two weeks in April, and will re-open on April 13 and 14.

If you have ques-tions, or need to book an appointment the clinic can be reached at 1-877-342-7007.

They are also seeking your help in determin-

ing the name of the new facility.

The options are Houndstooth Veterin-

ary Services or Golden Veterinary Services.

You can email your preference to editor@

thegoldenstar.net.“We would also like to

extend our congratula-tions to Dr. Peterson,”

said Zehnder. “He has been serving the com-munity for a very long time.”

Pedestrians, Road Safety and SidewalksI grew up in a small town where there were no sidewalks unless you counted 4 sides from

3 blocks downtown. As children, we didn’t pay much attention to the rule that required us to walk on the left facing oncoming tra� c but we did make sure that we were on the edge or even o� of the pavement when a vehicle drove by. Most neighbourhood streets were our playgrounds and we shared with other road users as the need arose. That system worked well for us and I can’t recall anyone being hurt aside from one girl who had been clipped by the mirror of a passing pickup truck.

This system probably worked well for us because people parked in their driveways rather than on the streets. There was always room on the sides to be seen and walk safely. The village council did not see a need to build sidewalks so when roads were paved or rebuilt none were constructed. Some municipalities followed suit, at least in the quieter areas.

Fast forward 40 years.Needs and expectations are quite di� erent today. Drivers call the police to report children

playing street hockey. Neighbourhood streets look like parking lots. Health conscious people walk and run on and beside the roads. Pedestrians are being hurt in collisions. The sidewalks that are needed may not be there or are expensive to add so await road reconstruction budgets.

What do we do in the meantime? Being accountable for our actions and sharing with others comes to mind. Safe road use is not a contest to make sure you get what you feel that you are entitled to. Occasionally you might be required to give up an entitlement to remain safe or provide safety for other road users. Doing so is the sign of a truly safe and smart road user.

Golden Town Coun-cil has determined they need more infor-mation from the fac-ulty at Alexander Park

Elementary School before they can decide if allowing them use of the Horseshoe Club is feasible.

At an earlier meet-ing, APES teacher Katie King appeared

before council request-ing the school be allowed to use the out-door space, as well as have access to its stor-age facility.

However, given the fact that the building,

owned by the Town, has not been in use for many years, there is no information about its condition, and wheth-er it would be safe to allow APES staff and students to use it with-out any upgrades to the facility.

The building does have plumbing, but again, given that it hasn’t been turned on for many years, staff don’t know if bath-room facilities would be usable.

It was decided that staff would look into the condition of the building, and coun-cil would reach out to APES staff and gath-er more information about what exactly the building would be used for. If it was just to store equipment, and students wouldn’t be spending any time

inside, then it is more likely that the building would be sufficient in its current state.

GCSSCSubmitted

The boards and exec-utive directors of Gold-en’s largest non-prof-it social service agen-cies are pleased to announce the creation of the Golden Com-munity Social Service Co-op (GCSSC). The GCSSC is an innova-tive and collaborative effort between the Gold-en Community Resour-ces Society, the Golden

Family Center, the Gold-en Women’s Resource Centre, and the Golden Food Bank Society. The purpose of the GCSSC is to pool resources and provide common servi-ces to member agencies.

For years, the poten-tial for collaboration between non-prof-its in our community has been explored. As a result of this ground-work, Golden has been involved in a provin-cial initiative aimed

at developing ways to build organizational resilience in commun-ity social service agen-cies through structural changes.

With guidance from Caleb Moss and Chris-tina Benty from Stra-tegic Leadership Solu-tions, all four non-prof-it social service agencies set out to explore ways to create a formalized system of shared resour-ces to improve efficien-cies, increase organiz-

ational capacity, and allow for a more inte-grated approach to ser-vice delivery.

Initially, the co-op will explore the provision of a range of administra-tive and financial ser-vices, best practices in collaborative case man-agement, and fund gen-eration through grant writing and fundrais-ing. Over time, clients can see a more cohesive and holistic service delivery model focusing on enhanced services.

The co-op model allows for the mandate of each organization to remain the same and each will continue to be independent societies, maintaining their own boards and board struc-tures.

With funding secured for the next three years from both CBT and the Town of Golden and CSRD Area “A” through Economic Opportunity Funds (EOF), the co-op is able to hire a coordin-ator. This new position is designed to develop, support, and expand current community

social services, and to strengthen the pro-file, the visibility, and the financial solvency of each agency through fundraising and com-munity event planning.

Golden’s non-profit social service agencies exist to provide access to a wide range of services that contribute to the health and well-being of the community. While each agency is chal-lenged with increased service demands to meet a variety of client needs, they also face accountability require-ments, often without the matching resources.

In a world that defaults to the simplicity of cost accounting as a valu-able way to measure per-formance and produc-tivity, quantifying social change is challenging since non-profits’ goals are both more complex and intangible.

The formation of a co-op allows these non-profit agencies to work together in a formalized manner on social chal-lenges and opportun-ities in our community.

The need for accommodations for incoming Syrian refugees is a nation-al issue that isn’t going away any time soon. That is why a meeting was set up here in Golden last week to discuss the possibility of refugee sponsorship here in the community.

“We had a good turnout and identi-fied a commitment to move forward on this initiative,” said Michele Rowe, one of the meeting’s facilitators. “We will explore 2 options: having Golden identified as a “Welcoming Commun-ity” for refugees already in Canada and/or sponsoring a family through the Blended Visa Office-Referred Pro-gram.”

When asked why this issue was important to them, the consensus among attendees was that this was a humanitarian crisis of incredible pro-portions and we must help in any way we can.

There is an ongoing need for spon-soring people from other countries, but it was acknowledged that spon-soring a Syrian family at this time would be more easily facilitated.

“Although potential challenges exist, we believe that Golden is a wel-coming community with lots to offer and that our town would benefit from increased diversity,” added Rowe.

A group nearby, Revelstoke for Refu-gees, will be welcoming a family soon, proving that smaller communities can be involved.

There will be another meeting on Thursday March 31 at 7 p.m. at EK Employment, located at 205 421 9th Ave. N. Everyone is welcome to attend, and anyone with skills in the follow-ing areas would be a tremendous help: administration and paperwork, pub-lic relations and media management, fundraising, and volunteer recruit-ment for family after settlement to sup-port their integration into Golden life.

If you would like further infor-mation, Rowe can be reached at [email protected].

Many of the health and environmental concerns may have stemmed from the well-known danger of frac sand operations, which isn’t a part of Hi Test’s proposal.

Crushing silica can create large quantities of dust, which can have severe health-related impacts, including a lung disease known as silicatosis. Typically, it is the workers that are at the highest risk, but public in the surrounding area can be impacted as well.

However, and most importantly, the project that has been proposed for Golden doesn’t involve the crushing of silica at all. Instead, the silica would be mined, cleansed with water, and heated in one to four inch pieces to break the chemical bond between the silicon and the oxygen compound, releasing carbon dioxide and leaving behind pure silicon.

“If you’re looking for silicatosis as a potential issue…silicatosis is associated with crushing and grind-ing raw silica and we don’t do any of that. There has never been a case of silicatosis associated with sili-con metal production,” said John Carlson, the vice-president of Hi Test Sand.

There was also some concern about the impact the operation could have on the Columbia River and the surrounding wetlands.

“We’re not pulling any water out of the river and we’re not putting anything into the river…we are not touching the wetlands that border our property at all,” Carlson said.

The $300 million project would bring 150 direct, full-time jobs should it go forward - plus many more jobs in a related capacity - and Golden is considered one of the two front-runners for a plant along with a site in Washington. A final decision from Hi Test Sand is expected within two to six months.

Silicon metal is a key component in the production of aluminum, computer chips and solar panels. The plant in Golden would be used for solar panel production.

GDCFSubmitted

Golden and District Search and Rescue (GADSAR) is better equipped to save lives with the help of a grant from the Golden and District Community Foundation (GDCF).

The GDCF’s Com-munity Grant Program selected GADSAR’s application for a Zoll AutoPulse Resuscita-tion System in order to better respond to win-ter backcountry emer-gencies.

“GADSAR’s appli-cation rated very high on improving Golden and Area A’s “Health,” “Safety,” and “Recrea-tion & Leisure” Vital Signs issue areas,” said Ryan Watmough, Executive Director of the GDCF. “As the bulk of GADSAR’s response calls are in remote mountain terrain. The Community Founda-tion’s $5,000 grant was integral in GADSAR being able to acquire the AutoPulse.”

A short video of Nick Comstock and Shauna Speers demonstrating the AutoPulse Resusci-tation System can be seen on the GDCF’s website, www.golden-communityfounda-tion.ca.

Golden Commun-ity Resource Soci-

ety (GCRS) applied for funding for “Ear-ly Learning and Care Centre - Infant - Tod-dler furnishings & equipment.” The GDCF awarded GCRS $7,064.22 – a signifi-cant contribution of their $10,052 ask on the $1.4M Early Learn-ing and Care Centre project.

The Early Learning and Care Centre’s fur-nishings and equip-ment help address pri-ority Vital Signs issue areas like “Economy,” “Work,” and “Getting

Started and Staying.”According to

GCRS’s grant appli-cation, “Success will be measured through the reduction of child care wait lists within the community, as well as a reduction in the University of BC Early Development Instru-ment (EDI) scores.”

The GDCF requests project proposals each October. Many endow-ment funds man-aged by the GDCF are pooled together in order to fund signifi-cant and impactful

projects in Golden & Area A. While GCRS’s furnishings and equip-ment and GADSAR’s AutoPulse Resuscita-tion System project were the largest grants awarded, other groups received support, too.

Further, $445.15 from the David Braul Memorial Fund helped cover some costs associated with the Golden Family Centre’s Golden Day Program and the Golden Lions’ sup-port for personal learning needs. Final-

ly, $339.73 from the Cecil & Edel Parson Memorial Fund earn-ings went to the Gold-en & District Historic-al Society.

A maintained road allowing access to my property. So please, no more surveys, questionnaires and referen-dums, etc. We have more than enough rules, regulations and taxes from the province and the feds.

Silica Smelter

Editor,

Regarding the article about John Carlson and the proposed Silica/Coal Smelter:

Good job on marketing your propaganda on your proposed SILI-CA/COAL SMELTER.

You actually have the gall to manipulate us with marketing terms like: ‘carbon positive’? How can you be green and carbon positive when you are polluting the air with grind-ing processes of Silica Glass in the air. That is not carbon but it will cause the COMMUNITY you are building your SMELTER in their health and the health of their children. You have NO MORALS if you will build this SMELTER in the middle of a com-munity. The real estate values have

already dropped and will continue to plummet. I talked to a mother yes-terday who is in tears that their life is ruined by this plant and they will lose all they have worked for. Her concern is the bleeding lungs the Silica Par-ticulate matter will create as health care problems for her and her family. But hey, we will all be breathing in Si particles now. The health care costs will soar.

I spoke to a mining engineer who told me that you will not have many jobs for our locals here. You are load-ing ground Silica into a furnace and then loading it into a truck to take it to a plant in the states. That will not provide us with jobs.

You talk of a low carbon process but how are you measuring this? The valley does not have the capacity to move the air out of here, so the pol-lution will be fifty fold what you are

promising and you are not telling us the truth about the pollution which is caused from the grinding of the Sili-ca.

Please note that an air quality study was done here in 2004 because we have the worst air quality of all of BC. (from Speciation Monitoring and Source Apportionment in Golden 2004-2007)

So, where do you live Mr. Carlson? Are you moving here with your family by your SMELTER?

Would you recommend that folks come here for a holiday with your SMELTER? What will be the loss in dollars of tourism? Isn’t tourism a better vision for our valley than a toi-let bowl of pollution? And what about our ski industry? It employs more people than the 20 or so jobs that will really come out of this.

Continued on page 7

Last week I received an email from a former co-worker at the Vernon newspaper asking for a favour. The email, which had been sent to a large number of people was requesting help in rally-ing voters to put Lumby, B.C., in the top spot for Kraft’s annual Hockey-ville challenge.

Fortunately, Lumby has already succeeded in the first round of voting, and has been named one of two finalists in the country, the other being Saint-Isidore, Que.

This is fantastic news for the small B.C. town, and this accomplishment means that Lumby will be seeing some infrastructure benefits on Kraft’s tab.

Lumby has automatically won $100,000 for upgrades to Pat Duke Memorial Arena, but the second round of voting will determine who wins the Hockeyville title and an NHL pre-season game.

It is an honour bestowed on only one Canadian town every year.

Unfortunately voting will have closed by the time the paper is published. But the buzz online indi-cates that many people in Golden have thrown their support behind Lumby by voting on Sunday and Monday.

A few years back, Golden was in a similar position of needing support from surrounding commun-ities to achieve a goal.

Curt Thorne, a local “Hockey Hero” was chosen as a finalist in Kraft’s Hockey Goes On contest. As a winner, Kraft donated $100,000 to Golden Min-or Hockey.

The massive support for Thorne by, not just Golden, but communities all over B.C. was inspir-ing, and I hope that Lumby receives the same treat-ment.

Hockey is an expensive sport, and initiatives like these make a huge impact on the number of kids who can enjoy Canada’s favourite pastime.

Golden has been fortunate enough to not only benefit from the Hockey Goes On money, but also the Bauer First Shift program which twice has given young athletes the chance to try hockey at an affordable price with expert coaching and equip-ment.

The upgrades to the arena in Lumby will undoubtedly make a huge impact on hockey par-ticipation. One of the bigger projects will be the construction of a new girls’ change room. As their application said, “How do we expect to encour-age our young female players to join when we can’t even provide them with sufficient room to put on their gear, let alone having to share with the oppos-ing teams.”

The winner will be announced on April 2 on Sportsnet, and I can only hope that congratula-tions will be in order for our provincial neighbour Lumby.

From luring kids online to child sexual assault, from groom-ing to pimping, and from 'sexting' to shar-ing child pornography, exploitation has one tragic, common ele-ment: young victims.

We all share respon-sibility for the well-being of our children and youth.

Awareness is key to intervening. It's diffi-cult to protect vulner-able young people if parents, guardians, teachers and others aren't aware of what's going on - and it's esti-mated 95% of sex-ual assaults are never reported to police. That's why, in support of our Vision of a Vio-lence Free BC Strategy, we'll be launching an awareness campaign shortly that focuses on engaging all British Columbians in speak-ing out against sexual violence.

Another way we're building awareness is through B.C.'s innov-ative Office to Com-

bat Trafficking in Per-sons (OCTIP). Its free, online training helps service provid-ers to learn the signs of human trafficking and how to help ensure traf-ficked persons receive the protection, servi-ces and supports they need. About 7,000 people have taken this training to date, and I encourage anyone to do so. While it's hard to pinpoint how many young people are traf-ficked within B.C., OCTIP and partner agencies have assist-ed with more than 200 cases involving poten-tially trafficked persons since July 2007.

Over the past five years, we've provided more than $1.7 million in civil forfeiture grant

funding to organiza-tions in B.C. to address issues of human traf-ficking and sexual exploitation.

Our police, includ-ing B.C.'s Integrat-ed Child Exploitation Unit, continue to play a key role in identify-ing child victims of sex-ual exploitation and arresting those who distribute and view child pornography. This includes partici-pation in sophisticated local and internation-al investigative efforts, resulting in effective prosecutions and mak-ing it clear: if you make or share child por-nography, you will be caught and face severe consequences.

Similarly, the many high-profile cases of

men attempting to lure children through social media and then travelling to meet them - only to be arrested by police who've posed online as vulnerable children - should serve as a warning.

B.C. leads the coun-try in working to keep known sexual offend-ers away from oppor-tunities to work with vulnerable people, including children and youth. Our Crimin-al Records Review Pro-gram is the most exten-sive in Canada. It pro-vides for expert, con-sistent adjudication on determining whether a person presents a risk to vulnerable people. But it isn't enough to prevent exploitation, identify its victims and

prosecute its perpe-trators. We must also help young victims to become survivors. To this end, the Prov-ince provides more than $70 million in annual funding to pro-grams throughout B.C. that aid victims of crime, including chil-dren impacted by sex-ual violence, and traf-ficked persons. The hundreds of victim service and violence against women organ-izations my ministry funds in communities throughout B.C. pro-vide incredible, com-passionate and effect-ive assistance.

We all have a role to play - and together, we can raise awareness and help protect our young people.

Stars to the young woman who helped pay for my sweater at the second hand store.

Spring stars to the Town of Golden for another great winter of snow removal. Way to

keep our streets safe to drive on!

Many stars to my neighbour who cleaned the gravel off my boulevard. Thank you very much.

A giant Stinger to the black SUV that cut me off heading south on Highway 95 last week. You know who you are. Learn how to drive!

Would you be in favour of Golden sponsoring a refugee family?

“Hmmm..,I don’t really know.”

“Yes, because I think that it’s

important to help those that need

it.”

The more particulate matter in the air the more fog we will have. Skiing is not good in fog.

And what about the pollution from washing the Silica. Where will all that residue go? Into the Columbia River? Will it migrate down to help flood the town? And isn’t this eventually a water source for everybody downstream?

WHERE IS THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY????

And lastly you are building your SILICA/COAL SMELTER on the last industry free 180km of the largest migratory pathway in all of western North America! And believe me the WORLD WILL NOW KNOW IT.

Just because I grew up with oil lamps and wood stoves doesn’t make me stupid. You must think the people of this valley are stupid if you think you can ruin our valley while you live in your mansion in Calgary. We are not stupid people in this valley and we love our valley. We need jobs but not at the price that you will cost us. You are a hypocrite if you will not be honest about how much pollution and noise from grinders and the fact that you want us to breathe in Silica.

Great that it is going to create solar panels. Mine it here and ship it out of here, as all the real jobs will be at the plant that makes the solar pan-els which is in the U.S.

The more people here and all over the world know about you building a SMELTER on these wetlands and polluting our valley the more we will all fight this project.

E. Campbell, a resident of the Columbia Valley

ior Olympic Level 1 Program was Eva Gal-lagher. She scored Sil-ver on Vault and Bars and Gold on Beam and Floor. Her All-Around Score was an 8th Place with a Silver Medal at 35.70 just 0.3 points away from an All-Around Gold.

Five Athletes com-peted in Junior Olym-pic Level 2 in three different age categor-ies. There were 38 ath-letes competing at this level and the competi-tion was close and very tight. In the 7-8 year-old category: Tegan Morrison ranked 1st All-Around with a Gold Medal at 36.50 with Gold Ribbons on Bars, Beam and Floor and Silver on Vault. In the 9 year-old category: Saumya Kumar ranked 2nd All-Around with a Gold Medal at 36.18 with Gold Ribbons on Beam and Floor and Silver on Bars and Vault. In the 10 year-old category: Rainya Potvin ranked 2nd All-Around with a Silver Medal at 35.25 with Gold Ribbons on Beam and Floor and Silver on Bars and Vault; Amara Schellenberg ranked 7th All-Around with a Silver Medal at 34.08 with a Gold Ribbon on Bars and Silver Rib-bons on Vault, Beam and Floor; and Jasmine Tataryn ranked 8th All-Around with a Silver Medal at 34.05 with a Gold Ribbon on Floor, Silvers on Vault and Beam and a Bronze on Bars.

Sarah Watson and

Akaisha Duggan and Chloe deCoene were vying for spots to rep-resent our Zone April 15-17 at BC Gymnastics Provincial Champion-ships in Langley BC. Both athletes made the team and are excited to represent our Club and our Region in Junior Olympic Level 6. In the 10-11 year-old category: Chloe placed 7th All-Around with a score of 33.70 with a 2nd Place fin-ish on Vault, 8th Place on Bars, 6th Place on Beam and 7th Place on Floor. In the 12-18 year-old category: Akaisha placed 8th All-Around with a score of 35.675 with a 1st Place finish on Beam, 6th Place on Vault and 10th Place on Bars and Floor.

Bill Usher recalls radio production from tour with Cockburn Joel [email protected]

Long before he arrived in Golden and began to have an impact on what is now a bustling arts and culture scene, Bill Ush-er was a radio documentary producer and musician, with one of his proudest works coming in the form of a two-hour documentary titled On Tour with Bruce Cockburn.

Usher had worked with the Canadian folk icon on his 1976 release In the Fall-ing Dark and toured across Canada with him on the subsequent tour. The idea to document the cross country tour with Cockburn seemed like a winner, and Usher took his idea to CBC, having pro-duced documentaries for them previ-ously.

“As soon as I knew that I had the gig…I basically went into one of the producers (at CBC) and said ‘I’m going out on the road with Cockburn for 12 weeks. I have this idea that I could do an on the road back stage documentary, are you inter-ested?’,” he remembered.

The producer was interested, and Ush-er proceeded to round up all of the five inch reels of tape that he could before hitting the road for the tour.

Film and radio was a different animal back then. The days of digital recording were but a pipe dream, making produc-tion a lengthy, time-intensive process compared to contemporary standards.

“Back then we had a razor blade, cut-ting the tape. I’d sit there for two or three months with pieces of tape hang-ing all off the walls…you’d cut out all the good stuff and keep that and you’d start to put it together on a reel separated by white tape and you’d listen to it over and

over again,” he said. After splicing and editing reel upon

reel of tape, Usher submitted his work to CBC and his documentary aired in Sep-tember of 1977.

The doc remained mostly dormant in recent years. Usher kept a copy of the old reels in storage, but it wasn’t digit-ized and released online until earlier this year. When the Kicking Horse Cul-ture Director gave it a listen this year, he was pleased to hear how it sounded near-ly forty years after the fact.

“I’m really proud of it. It holds up,” Usher said.

One area that surprised Usher was how much his and the rest of the crew’s accents had changed over four decades.

“If you hear me talking now and you lis-ten to the way we were all talking back then, our accents have changed,” he said.

There are several highlights for Ush-er throughout - one involving a grumpy tour manager during a show’s setup - but the most poignant commentary featur-ing Cockburn came during a one on one interview that Usher had with the famed musician at the tour’s conclusion.

“He was pretty loose by then. He’s a shy guy, he’s always been a shy guy,” Usher recalled.

“Shy folks like that that are out in that world of adulation, it’s really tough…I don’t know why it is but we went down this certain path around reconciling the adulation with the real person and that is the theme of the interview.”

On Tour with Bruce Cockburn, as well as a new introduction from Ush-er, is available for streaming at bruce-cockburn.org/circles_in_the_stream_tour_1977.

The Net Result: Netflix has a rare miss with new series Flaked

Joel [email protected]

Will Arnett rose to fame with his role as Gob Bluth, the goofy,

loveable loser that was one of the many standout characters in Mitchell Hurwitz’s Arrested Development.

Flaked sees Arnett star in a com-

pletely different role, in a com-edy-drama series that he and Hurwitz co-produced.

Rather than goofy and flam-boyant, Arnett is calm, meas-ured and even a bit awkward as Chip, a former alcoholic with a dark past. But like Gob, Chip is often well-meaning but inher-ently selfish, and this gets him in trouble with those around him, including his best friend Dennis (David Sullivan).

At the outset of the series, Chip is dating Kara (Lina Esco) who, it is later revealed, was a love interest for Dennis before Chip swooped in. Dennis has forgiven Chip for this betrayal, but makes it clear that his friend is not to cross him again now that he has moved on and become interest-ed in London (Ruth Kearney), a recent arrival to the pair’s neigh-bourhood in Venice.

Try as he might, Chip can’t quite shake the idea of London from his mind and he struggles to keep his word.

Several celebrity guest stars are featured across Flaked’s eight episode first season, including Kirstie Alley as Dennis’ mom and Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Topher, a rich wiz kid who strug-gles in one of the few areas where Chip succeeds, with women.

My biggest problem with Flaked is that it doesn’t really know what it wants to be. The dram-edy genre can be executed well, but this isn’t one of those cases. There are moments of awkward, subtle humour and moments full of serious, thought-provok-ing drama, but these are few and far between.

The rest of the show is basic-ally an emotionless ride through the lives of characters that lack

depth despite having interest-ing back stories. Arnett’s char-acter provides the audience with a good cross-section of what is wrong with the show, as Chip could be a likeable man-child or a disturbed thirty something try-ing to figure out his way through life, but he ends up being a smat-tering of both, leaving the audi-ence confused and ultimately unsatisfied.

Flaked could have done well by moving the needle further to the comedic side of things, but in the end it’s realistically a dram-edy that is neither funny nor dra-matic. That’s not a good place to be.

Flaked is worth just five mouse clicks out of ten.

Will Arnett plays Chip, a well-meaning but inherently self-ish recovering alcoholic. Netflix

The 2016 Golden Bantam Provincial Hockey Championship is now “in the books”. Our � nal game was Thursday night and we saw the North Okanagan Knights beat the Kamloops Blazers 2-1 in the gold medal game. I would like to send out a huge thank you to the entire community for all of the support. A special thanks to Ron Oszust and Karen Cathcart for attending and speaking at multiple events. A huge thank you to the arena sta� for all the last second adjustments and all the special requests. A big thanks to the parents of the Bantam team for all of the crazy volunteer hours. A super huge thank you to all of the volunteers at the arena each and every day. Thanks to the Calgary Flames Hockey club for being involved in our alumni game on Monday night. Our attendance was just under 500 and we had numerous comments throughout the rest of the week about how much the kids from all of the di� erent teams loved it. Please take a minute to carefully read all of our sponsor list below. These company’s and organizations are what make Golden “tick”. And one better...... Please stop in and say thanks with a big smile or a nice fat purchase. They ALL made our event the huge success that it was.

In closing, I would like to say something directly all of the young people of Golden. Put down the cell phone, game controller and remote for the TV..... get involved in any sport or activity that interests you, help out around the community, support local business, support local events, and never, never buy into“it can’t be done” syndrome. It can be done right here in Golden. It just takes a bit of Vision, a bit of organization. and a bit of hard work.

Thanks all & see you next fall at the rink! Mike Palumbo

Wrangle the Chute’s profile continuing on upward trend


For the 2014 edition of Wrangle the Chute, Kicking Horse Moun-tain Resort made the decision to move the event from the north side of CPR Ridge to the North side of Ter-minator 1. The move was done in an effort to raise the event’s pro-file and make it more of a big mountain com-petition.

Entering its third year at the new venue, the change appears to have paid off.

This year’s Wrangle event will be a four-star Freeride World Quali-fier, as it was last year, giving the resort what is undoubtedly the grandest big mountain freeride event in Can-ada.

“I think it’s better ski-ing. It’s a longer venue, there’s more features, it’s larger. So it kind of

fits with the change in the series,” said Emile Lavoie, the marketing and events coordin-ator at Kicking Horse.

The feedback from the competition’s ath-letes has been encour-aging.

“I had some of the athletes from last year that are on the World Tour…they said that it was definitely the best venue of the whole circuit so it def-initely has its place,”

venue made it a chal-lenge for the resort to create a vibrant atmos-phere at the base of the venue. At the old loca-tion, audiences could gather at the Heav-en’s Door Yurt, enjoy food and drinks and take in the competi-

tion. No such possibil-ities exist in Bowl Over, but many fans have taken to parking them-selves on the south side of CPR Ridge to take in the competition from a distance.

Outside of the com-petition itself, the resort will also host an after-party on Mar. 26

featuring the rock and roll group Royal Tusk.

But at the end of the day, it’s all about the great skiing and snow-boarding, something there should be plenty of as some of the best freeriders from North America and Eur-ope try their luck with some of the Horse’s

most challenging ter-rain.

“The level is going to be really high,” Lavoie said.

Wrangle the Chute will take place over two days. The qualifi-ers will start on Mar. 25 and the finals are scheduled to go on Mar. 26.

Fun-filled winter season for Golden’s Special Olympics athletes

Marie Helene LabonteLocal coordinator for Special Olym-

pics Golden

What a fun-filled winter for Spe-cial Olympic athletes! This win-ter really saw our winter programs expand and our athletes grow.

Cross-country skiing was busy this season with four ath-letes training, age 7-35. In addi-tion to their training on snow, their coach Sue Rowe organ-ized a weekly dryland session that was well attended and no doubt boosted the physical skills of her

athletes. In competition, all were challenged to rely only on them-selves and what they had learn-ed, boosting their confidence and independence, while estab-lishing personal bests on the 2 km course. In addition, athlete Shelly Poland attended the Spe-cial Olympics National games in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, and brought back gold on the 1km event!

Our downhill athletes also got busy. Our four athletes age 7-11 enjoyed the slopes at Kick-ing Horse in a partnership with GKHAT, our local downhill racing experts. With the assist-ance of our Special Olympics assistant-coach Marloes Van Lent, GKHAT coaches Sarah Recoskie and Rhys Badenoch shared their expert knowledge in racing, teaching the athletes the skills and the rules on the gate course. Despite some of them having little to no experi-ence with racing and gates at the beginning of the season, all were successful participating in at least one, if not all three races organ-ized by GKHAT. Special Olym-pics Golden being a small local organization, we are very lucky and thankful to have the oppor-

tunity to team up with an organ-ization such as GKHAT to provide the athletes with the chance to compete in a bigger event. We are hoping to extend the invitation to other Kootenay skiers next year.

None of these exciting pro-grams and opportunities would happen without the support of our precious volunteers, coach-es and executive members. Thank you so much for giving

your time and energy to allow a fantastic experience for these athletes. Special Olympic Gold-en is always looking for new vol-unteers. We are currently look-ing for a Fundraising Coordin-ator and an Equipment coordin-ator. However, any useful skill is welcome! If you are interested in joining our organization, please contact Marie-Helene Labonte at [email protected].

Brighter solutions to meet your goals

Life’s brighter under the sun

One of the most difficult things to do here at the museum is to record the stories of long dead people who left no family to pass on the infor-mation. Many people made up the early history of Golden and its neighbours who were bachelors or childless. In an attempt to keep some of their names and contribu-tions we wrote a few of these stories, lacking as they were for 2000 Golden Memories. If you have more information on these indi-viduals, please stop by the museum and relate them to me.

Suurmond Family: Jacobus and Pieter-nelli Suurmond lived in the valley for many years. They were both known to be hard working happy people. They were of Dutch decent. They had two children. A daughter Lentji who married Rudolph Flemstrom and a son Jacobus who died in Essondale in 1925. Mrs. Suurmond died in 1928 and Mr. Surrmond in 1936. They are both buried on the Hawkins farm.

Denis Clarke Family: Elizabeth Clarke was born Feb 11, 1871, in Hemein, Ger-many and married William Denis Clark in London, England, August 14, 1904.

Before coming to Canada Mrs. Clark was a journalist and wrote for Lord Northcliffe for 15 years. She came to Canada with her family and settled in the McMurdo area in 1913.

She fell in love with the Columbia Valley and never lost interest in the advancement of Golden and district. She worked tireless-

ly towards the betterment of the area and lived to see fulfillment of several of the pro-jects she had advocated, such as the instal-lation of a radio booster station in Gold-en. Other matters which she advocated included the reclamation of land covered by sloughs in the district and establishment of a pulp mill. She believed that agriculture was of prime importance in the Columbia Valley and deplored the swing from farm-ing to exploitation of the forest. She main-tained that indiscriminate logging with-out reforestation would ultimately destroy the watersheds and ruin the agricultural future of the district. The temporary pros-perity resulting from these operations would eventually bring poverty when the natural resources became depleted.

Mrs. Clarke had one son Denis born in 1909 who lived with her at McMurdo. He died in 1964.

George Tolley: George Tolley was born in Shepshed, England, April 22, 1887 and came to this area in about 1935. He lived in the Mountain Ridge area of the McMurdo Bench. He married a widow named Eliza-beth Bright, a woman with several chil-dren. One child was with them here in the valley, a daughter named Daisy, who mar-ried Nat Addison. Mrs. Tolley died in 1941 and Mr. Tolley died April 22, 1960.

The Jolleys: There were two Jolleys in this area. Mr. Jack Jolley and Mr. Bill Jolley. Mr Bill Jolley was a local MLA. He was mar-ried ad for a time Harley Jacobs worked for them. Harley once shot them a grouse to eat that Mrs. Jolley fried but it was so tough they couldn’t eat it so she boiled it and still couldn’t eat it. She finally ran it through the meat grinder in order to make it edible.

Mr. and Mrs. Enoch Cartwright: Enoch Cartwright was born in Whitechurch, Shropshire, England and came to the val-

ley with his brother Charlie. Enoch was already in the McMurdo area in 1907. In January, 1930 he married Margaret Fettes in St. Paul’s Anglican Church in Golden. Enoch and Margaret had five children; Mildred, Charile, Roy who was a police-man, Louise and Marlene.

Jack Gaffney: Jack Gaffney came to the valley from Ontario, in about 1912 and settled in the McMurdo area. He served overseas with the 54th Battalion during

the First World War and upon his return worked at various jobs through the valley. Jack died in the Golden hospital at age 71, in 1947.

Last year the museum went to work on a project called Forgotten Souls which identifies the almost 500 people buried in the Golden Cemetery that have no grave markers. In the early spring a sign will be erected at the cemetery with the names of all of those forgotten people.

Jacobus and Pieternelli Suurmond, pictured, were a couple who lived in the valley but left no descendants to remember them. Golden Museum and Archives photo.

Stories of families without living relatives difficult to tell

Brenda SpieringEditor, BrigherLife.ca

Whether you’re applying for your first credit card or you’ve had one for years, these tips can help prevent you from getting over your head in debt.

My 18-year-old son returned home from university at Thanksgiving with a credit card. I was surprised he even qualified for a card, given he’s an unemployed, first-year student. But apparently they were giving out free frosh-week T-shirts on campus to any-one who signed up for a card and he and all his friends got both the shirts and cards.

Don’t get me wrong. My son’s a smart kid. He’s managed his own bank account and debit card respon-sibly for years. But when it comes to credit cards, I realized there were a few things he was likely unaware of.

A lack of understanding about cred-it is a common problem, not only among teens. It’s one of the reasons the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada has declared November to be Financial Literacy Month. It’s also why a number of financial insti-tutions, including Sun Life, sponsor Credit Education Week events across the country to help promote sound

money management.So, I share the following five credit

card tips I gave my son:1. Check interest ratesCredit cards charge varying interest

rates. In my son’s case, he discovered he could obtain a credit card through his own bank that provided a con-siderably lower rate than the one he’d signed up for on campus.

2. Pay off credit cards in full each month

Don’t be confused by the fact that credit card statements only require a “minimum payment.” You will be charged interest on any outstanding balance. It’s far better for students to apply for a student loan with a low-er interest rate than to carry debt on credit cards.

3. Don’t make late paymentsEven if you’re only a day late, most

credit cards will charge interest on all your purchases from the day you bought them, not from the day your payment was due. As a result, you may end up being charged more inter-est than you’d expect. Also, late pay-ments can have a negative impact on your credit score. To prevent this, my son decided to set up a direct debit from his bank account to pay off his credit card bill automatically in full

each month.4. Toss those credit card chequesCredit card companies often mail

out cheques you can use to draw funds. But, unlike regular purchas-es charged on a credit card, these cheques are considered to be cash withdrawals, so interest kicks in right away. You’re far better off to use regu-lar bank cheques that withdraw funds directly from your account.

5. Don’t apply for multiple cardsAlong with the fact that it’s far easi-

er not to have to keep track of numer-ous cards with varying due dates, hav-ing too many cards may tempt you to spend more than you can afford.

It can also hurt your credit score as credit bureaus consider the amount of available credit you have as an opportunity for debt and, as a result, may consider you to be a higher cred-it risk.

Despite all these warnings, I’m glad my son has gotten a credit card. Liv-ing away from home, it’s bound to come in handy.

Plus, using it responsibly can have a positive impact on his credit rating, which will be helpful someday when he’s looking to get a loan.

Ron TaggertPastor Emeritus

“A Donkey Never Ridden” Mark 11:2I’ve always found it interesting that very few commentaries or preachers make anything of the fact that on Palm Sunday

the disciples brought a donkey colt that had never been ridden and Jesus sits on it. (Mark 11:2) I don’t know how familiar you are with young colts, but I would suspect the first time someone rides upon them, they are not comfortable with the arrangement.

It occurred to me as I watched news of the tragedies of the Middle East, the human spirit has about it a wild nature that honours no natural or ethnic boundaries. Without a controlling authority, the wildness in man will ravage the world and all in it. Washington was talking about several levels of government, and I thought, the first level of government is inside each man. You may conquer a country, but until you win the hearts of people, there is no peace. When people have reason to accept, even trust the powers that be, they will discipline their own lives and add to the public order by their good behav-iour.

As this donkey never ridden, whose wild nature is not tamed, welcomes the Lord, who sits upon him and is carried into the city, an honoured prophet, an exalted king, a Saviour in waiting. A donkey never ridden, but somehow of kindred spirit with the Lord. A new colt to usher in a new era. An example and inspiration to us. Not under constraint, not pre-programmed. Fresh, new, a clean slate. Jesus is the first one it serves. Finding there, even with our wild nature, such love that He becomes our controlling authority.

The best suggestion I can think of about this donkey is that animals that never carried a yoke were set aside for religious purposes. Animals never prepared for another purpose, never pressed into profitable service, were given to the one pur-pose that blessed all the others. They were used for sacrifice that forgave sins, for dedication of all of life that it might be for God’s glory, and for atonement that would calm and empower even the least among the people. That was the service of that donkey that had never been ridden. You never hear about it again. Even today, few notice him, but Jesus chose Him. And, I, just as I am, unaccustomed to the civil ways of the kingdom, without claim to fame in the courts of heaven, God uses for His highest purposes, yoked with Jesus for His most holy work.

As He enters the city for the last week of His life, the most tragic; full of pain and suffering, and yet the most blessed... Jesus identified with our human experience of not being in control. The verbs tell the story as the week unfolds: they con-spired against Him, He was denied, betrayed, captured, tried, sentenced, flogged, mocked, crucified, buried. The auth-or to the Hebrews spoke of these as honourable deeds of the One who is our Great High Priest and a reason for us to seek him out:

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempt-ed in every way, just as we are – yet without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Heb. 4:15f)

“Hosh-anna” - The same root word as Jesus’ name in Hebrew: “Yesjua.” Save us, Lord. And He does. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

Golden Faith Column: A donkey never ridden


Golden residents will be treated to a sunrise on top of the world this Easter for the annual Sunrise Easter Service at the top of the Kick-ing Horse Mountain Resort gondola on Easter Sunday, Mar. 27.

John Parry has been organizing the event for the past ten years after going to the resort and telling them they needed to be more con-nected to the community.

He had heard from too many people that they had never been up the mountain, and he thought that was something everyone in town should be able to experience.

Since then, every year there has been an ear-ly Easter service with KHMR offering free lift tickets to anyone wishing to attend.

Every year attendance ranges from 10 to 120 people, often depending on the weather.

The gondola will be loading between 7:30 and 7:40 a.m., and you can get your lift ticket at Guest Services between 7:15 and 7:30 a.m. The multi-denominational Christian service will begin outside of Eagle's Eye at 8 a.m., fol-lowed by free coffee, tea, and hot chocolate in the restaurant.

"After that, once we have clearance from the safety team, you're free to ride down," said Parry. The gondola will also be taking guests down who don't ski or snowboard.

The event is free, but donations will be accepted for the Golden Food Bank.

Hogging the spotlight: Bacon Beiner takes centre stage at Dawn


Under Saturday’s sunny skies and warm temperatures, bacon and ski lovers participated in what can only be described as a heaven-ly concept for a race.

The first annual Bacon Beiner began around 11 in the morning and featured about 20 athletic, and very hungry, participants. Ski-ers were tasked with completing as

many five kilometre loops (500 m for the kids division) as they could in a set amount of time.

The catch: they had to consume a strip of bacon at the end of each lap in order for it to count.

“It was awesome. I think the sun-shine went a long way to making it a really great day for us…Everyone had a really great time,” said Magi Scallion, the event’s organizer.

Adults competed in two, four and six hour events. Tom Caslav-

sky took home the top prize in the six hour endurance challenge, completing 24 laps and gaining 430 calories.

Shane Lehmann won first place honours in the two hour event with six laps and 88 calories gained, while Heath McCroy com-pleted 18 laps in four hours while gaining 108 calories.

Lukas Borutova completed the most laps among the kids - piglets- with six.

Nine skiers had a net calorie gain/loss within 250 calories of zero, with Billie Velisek being named the Porcine Wonder through a draw.

Approximately 165 pieces of delicious, juicy bacon were con-sumed altogether.

Going forward, Scallion hopes the event can grow in numbers.

“I think 100 or 200 participants would probably be (the limit). We’d have to have a ton of volun-teers with anything more than that, with keeping the bacon warm, getting people to eat the

bacon and we’re counting how much bacon everyone is eating too,” she said.

“I like the kind of feel of it right now, everyone’s having a lot of fun and laughing. It’s such a ridiculous event…the biggest thing about it is that it’s a fun vibe.”

Indeed, once the skiing com-munity gets wind of the Bacon Beiner and realizes it is far from a boar, they’ll be swine-ing and moaning that they missed the inaugural event and happy to pork over an afternoon of their time to participate next year.

In order for it to count towards their total, competitors in the Bacon Beiner at Dawn Mountain on Saturday had to chow down on a slice of bacon after each lap.
