Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks was in Golden early Friday afternoon to announce a pair of federal funding grants for the Town pf Golden and another for the Golden Sikh and Cultural Society.

The first grant fell under the federal govern-

ment’s New Building Canada Plan and will be used to fund a nearly $1.4 million project for sewer system improvements.

The upgrades will help to reduce energy consumption, increase system capacity and enhance treatment capabilities while reducing odour and greenhouse gas generation.

“I’m very passionate about trying to get things for rural Canada and I also know that staff put in

a ton of work on these applications and it shows today,” Wilks said.

“This is obviously something we could have never done on our own and with the help of the federal government and the provincial govern-ment we’ll be able to take care of a long-stand-ing issue with our lagoons,” said Town of Gold-en CAO Jon Wilsgard.

Notice of Public Hearing Waived

Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1356, 2015 – Frobb

What is proposed?

The purpose of “Town of Golden Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1356, 2015 – Frobb” is to amend the Zoning Bylaw to change the zoning of the property on northwestern corner of 5th Street South and Riverglen Drive from Parks and Trails –P1 to Twin Residential – R2 in order that a small piece of surplus publicly owned land can be amalgamated with privately owned low-density residential land. The property is being sold at its appraised market value and as part of a two lot subdivision a pathway will be dedicated to provide connectivity with the Twin Rivers Apartments, but the pathway will not be developed for 10 years. How can I find out more?

Background material may be viewed at the Town Hall from July 31, 2015 to Tuesday, August 18, 2015 from 8:30am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. For more information contact: Phil Armstrong, Manager of Development Services / Planner at 250.344.2271 ext 236 or [email protected]. How can I give feedback?

On July 18, 2015 Council passed a resolution to waive the public hearing requirement for the proposed bylaw as it is consistent with the Official Community Plan. This waiver is pursuant to Local Government Act section 890(4); however, the Act also requires that notice be given and does not provide an opportunity for public input. Council will consider giving third reading and adoption on August 18, 2015 at 1:15pm in the Town Hall Council Chambers (810 - 9th Ave South).

Notice of Land Disposition

What is proposed?

The Town of Golden is selling 336m2 of its property on the northwestern corner of 5th Street South and Riverglen Drive to Donna Mendes-Frobb and Mark Frobb. The property is legally described as the western portion of Block A DL 16415 Kootenay District Except Part Included in Plan 18312 (PID: 008-217-378). The property was originally Crown granted to the Town by the Province for “park purpose” and therefore the Province will receive the $10,000 appraised market value. The Frobbs intend to amalgamate the small piece of surplus publicly owned land with their land at 509 - 5th Street South and as part of a two lot subdivision a walkway will be dedicated to provide connectivity with the Twin Rivers Apartments. It is felt this connectivity will have a higher park value, but the walkway will not be developed for ten years. For more information contact: Phil Armstrong, Manager of Development Services / Planner at 250.344.2271 ext 236 or [email protected].

Notice of LandDisposition


The end of July marked the official end of the East Kootenay Brain Injury Association, the organization that had been contracted by Inter-ior Health to provide services for victims of brain injury in this region, Golden included.

Interior Health has announced that the con-tract will now be fulfilled by the West Kootenay Brain Injury Association (WKBIA), an organiza-tion that has a long history with IH and has already been fulfilling services in Castlegar, Trail, Nelson and other communities in the West Kootenays.

The switch was welcome news for Lori See-ley, the practice lead for community integrated health services with Interior Health.

“They’ve got a long history of providing service in the Kootenays…we’re pretty thrilled that we have a provider who knows this business, knows these clients and what their needs are in a general kind of way,” Seeley said.

“I think if we had a really new provider we’d have had a longer orientation period so we’re

quite pleased.” Under the new contact Golden will be paired

with Revelstoke, with total hours of service being distributed between the two communities based on need. According to Seeley, the num-ber of total direct service hours provided in the East Kootenays will increase to 2,882 hours from 2,784 under the new contract. She is also confi-dent, given WKBIA’s long relationship with IH, that there will be a smooth transition between the organizations, limiting the amount of stress on patients.

“They know us and we know them. We’ve got a working relationship in the West Kootenays with them that has been working quite well,” Seeley said, adding that IH had decided to provide some additional resources to WKBIA to facilitate the transition for the first three months of the new agreement.

Interior Health typically signs one-year con-tracts with new organizations, but because of their familiarity with WKBIA, they were able to sign a three-year agreement. The contract officially began on Aug. 1.

Interior Health is starting a two-year process to create a sustainability strategy for their Lab Services to ensure that the health authority can keep up with the growing demand.

A memo was circulated in July informing staff about the upcoming strategy.

“The bottom line is that the way we’re doing business is not sustainable,” said Marty Woods, Interior Health’s Regional Director of Lab Services. “We’re seeing a con-sistent increase in the volume of demands, as well as a demand for more complex testing.”

Another issue affecting the sustainability of the ser-vice is staffing. Right now 29 per cent of the lab staff are 55 or older, and within the next decade that number will increase by another 19 per cent.

“These numbers are not just in Golden, but are typ-ical throughout the region,” said Woods.

The engagement process for the study will begin in the fall when more staff are back from vacation and they can explore the best options for the future. There are several rural hospitals that may, or may not, be affected including Golden, Invermere and Revelstoke.

“We’re going to look at each hospital and decide the best option. For Golden that may mean some changes, but it may not. We may look at Golden and decide that nothing should change,” said Woods. “There won’t be any cookie-cutter solutions that will be imposed on every community.”

One possibility they will be looking into is centralizing the lab testing to Kelowna, where they can keep it fully staffed and operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Nothing will change in patient care in Golden, says Woods. All samples will continue to be taken at the local

hospital as it is now. If more samples are being couri-ered to Kelowna there is the possibility that results may take longer. But given that lab staff will be work-ing around the clock in Kelowna, depending on the day the sample is taken, results could actually come in fast-er, says Woods.

“Some samples from Golden, as it is right now, are being taken to Cranbrook…if that same sample gets taken to Kelowna, say on the weekend, the result might come in faster than it would have if Cranbrook had to wait until Monday.”

Golden’s location, and its relative isolation, will be taken into consideration before any decisions are made.

“Change can be very alarming to some people, it introduces a lot of unknowns, and we completely under-stand that,” said Woods. “But patient care remains our top priority.”

A Pedestrian With a Death WishThe collision counter on the DriveSmartBC web site estimates 33 pedestrian

deaths and 1374 pedestrian injury collisions in BC to July 29, 2015. I almost added to that number driving in Vancouver last weekend and the incident still has me shaking my head. I can’t believe that a pedestrian could be that stupid!

I had stopped for a red light in the downtown area and intended to make a right turn. After the pedestrian signal went red and the people had crossed, I pulled across the marked crosswalk and stopped again where I could see cross tra� c well. I found my gap and was about to proceed when I looked right and found a pedestrian right in front of me crossing against the light. He was busy with his cell phone and was wearing earbuds and never even looked at me as he walked around the car.

He probably owes some of his good fortune to my wife who yelled and made sure that I hit the brakes before I drove over him.

The courts say that we can expect to proceed as if other road users will obey the laws. What that really means is if I had hit this person, he would probably have been assessed most of the fault for the collision. However, he was there to be seen and I would have bourne some of the blame too. Thank goodness it never came to that!

Police wrote only 210 tickets to pedestrians for failing to obey pedestrian signals in all of the province in 2014. It would appear that you have little risk of being called to account for this sel� sh behaviour.

The author is a retired constable with many years of tra� c law enforcement experience. To comment or learn more, please visit drivesmartbc.ca.

Continued from page 1“This is core infrastructure at

its best.” Construction is slated to begin

next spring and will take an esti-mated two years.

Under the agreement, all three levels of government will fund a share of the project, with the Town of Golden funding a third and the provincial and fed-eral governments contributing the remaining two-thirds.

The news was also positive for the Town’s recreation services department, as the federal gov-ernment announced that Gold-en would receive up to $170,000 through the Canada 150 Infra-structure Program for upgrades to the swimming pool.

“Our swimming pool is 40 years old and it requires a number of capital upgrades to keep it working…this is one of the greatest infrastructure upgrades for the pool that we’ve seen,” Wilsgard said.

“In recent years the recreation team has put a big focus on gath-ering user feedback and address-ing the community’s desire at the pool. This granting opportun-ity is the perfect way to improve the facility and make the pool a better place to recreate,” stat-ed Jordan Petrovics, manager of recreation services.

The rest of the $340,200 pro-ject will be split evenly by the Town and Columbia Basin Trust.

Finally, Wilks announced funding of $26,000, also under the Canada 150 Infrastructure Program, for the Golden Sikh and Cultural Society. The funds will be used for roof replace-ment and temple renovations. Appreciative temple members Marik Khunkhun and Gian and

Herbhajan Virk were in attend-ance at the announcement.

The announcement on Friday came just two days before Prime Minister Stephen Harper asked Governor General David John-ston to dissolve parliament and launch the longest federal elec-tion campaign in recent history.

Wilks will attempt to hold his seat against challenges from the NDP’s Wayne Stetski and Liber-al candidate Don Johnston.

American sets record at largest Willi Muller in event’s 19 years


A nine-hour flight from this area could get you as far as Eur-ope. An hour or two more and you could be in Japan. If you decide to paraglide, however, you’d be lucky to make it to the U.S. border.

But, as Salt Lake City’s Cody Mittanck proved, under the right conditions, it is possible to cover that kind of distance.

Mittanck was competing in the Willi Muller Cross Country Challenge last week, the 19 year-old competition that draws some of the top hang gliding and paragliding pilots to the Columbia Valley and the launch site on Mt. Seven. On Thurs-day, Mittanck set a new, unofficial Canadian record, landing in the same field where Chris Muller (Willi’s late son) had

when he set the previous record in 2000. The next day Mittanck went one better, travelling a total

distance of 285 kilometres and ending up right near the Can-ada-U.S. border.

“I knew it was possible (to go further)…I knew the terrain a little bit better so I pushed a little harder,” Mittanck said.

Flying well into the evening, Mittanck benefited from a few aspects that help make Golden and the Columbia Valley such an attractive part of the world for pilots.

“The flying here is amazing because it’s a continuous ridge…when you stay in the air and you continue moving down the range you can make long distances,” Mittanck said, while adding that the longer days also benefit pilots seeking those lengthy flights.

Understandably, given the length and distance of the

flight, Mittanck had to force himself to remain focused, while also making sure to keep hydrated.

“You have to eat and drink and stay focussed when you need to and relax when you can…just work it piece by piece, take each section as it comes,” he said.

This was Mittanck’s first year participating in the Willi but the American says he’ll definitely be back for another go next year, commending the event’s organizers for a fantastic week.

His record-setting flight was just one of the highlights of an event that had many.

This was the largest Muller event to date, and organizer Randy Parkin believes that it might be the largest such event ever hosted in Canada.

On Saturday and Sunday, the Mt. Seven launch site was abuzz with activity, with dozens of paragliders and hang gliders queuing up, waiting for their turn to launch off the mountain on their way to destinations as close as Nicholson and as far away as Canal Flats, and in some cases, far beyond that.

Next year, for the event’s 20 year anniversary, Parkin expects to have about 120 pilots, which is as much as they can reasonably host given the limited space at launch.

Not bad for an event that started with just 10 pilots back in the 1990s.

“We love Golden. We spend a lot of time here and if we can do something to get more business here and get people enjoying it…people show up and want to stay,” Parkin said.

A total of 117 hang gliders and paragliders took part in the 19th annual Willi Muller XC Challenge in Golden over the past week. The turnout was the largest in the event’s history. Joel Tansey/Star Photos

Dolphins get ready for their regional swim meet in KamloopsMarika Sutter made best times in three of her events at the Penticton Invitational Swim Meet last weekend. Photo Submitted

Golden DolphinsSubmitted

This weekend the Golden Dolphins took part in the Pen-ticton Invitation-

al Swim Meet where swimmers brought much success and achieved many mile-stones in their swim-ming careers.

Achieving a huge milestone for her swimming career this year was Quinn Mor-gan who swept away the competition and came in 1st place in Division 4 for the 100m Breaststroke. After much fine tun-ing and working dili-gently on her tech-nique, Quinn final-ly surpassed the com-petition and achieved a best time and lots of

gratification for her hard work. Quinn also received best times in two of the other events she swam this past weekend.

Another great suc-cess story was seen by another Division 4 swimmer Emma Rus-sell, who turned up the heat this weekend and swam best times in all five of her events. Emma has proven how hard work, determin-ation and a great atti-tude can take you a long way.

Finding her new love for butterfly, Hay-ley Plonka managed

to get two best times times in her 50m Fly and her 100m Fly races this weekend. Pushing limits and always striv-ing for new goals, Hay-ley has pushed herself to become better each race.

Also getting best times in four races this weekend was Emme Abbs who continuous-ly pushes herself and achieves best times at every single meet she has swam in this year. Through push-ing limits and swim-ming finals in all of her events, best times were performed by

Anna Sutter in her 50m Free and her 100m Breaststroke. Alongside her was her sister Marika Sutter, who swam best times in three of her events this weekend, show-ing that dedication pays off.

Continuing the suc-cess was Lauren Rus-sell who swam best times in three of her events this weekend with a smile on her face and a flame in her eyes. Other great swims were seen this weekend by Josh Hira-oka, Amelia Hudson, Zara Johnson, Han-nah LaRoy, and Mal-colm Russell.

Concluding our final regular season swim meet of the 2015 season the Dolphins’ coaches are very happy with the large success seen within the swim club this sea-son.

Coaches Caprice Rosentreter and Hailey Kehler have enjoyed their second season with the Gold-en Dolphins and are very excited to see the continued success at the Regional Swim Meet, taking place in Kamloops on August 8th and 9th.

Keep your eye out for news on the Gold-en Dolphins to see how they do against their competition in the Okanagan Region.

It was once again a busy week for the Golden-Field RCMP as police were called to respond to over 120 files. “This is usually one of our busiest weeks during the year,” said Cst. Spencer Lainch-bury, spokesperson for the Golden-Field RCMP.

An increase in traffic for the long weekend saw police responding to 12 motor vehicle col-lisions, and dispatched 27 complaints of erratic or unsafe driving.

Noise ComplaintPolice were called to

Spirit Square just after bar close on July 27 after receiving a complaint from nearby residences that people were exces-sively screaming and hollering. “This is a common issue in the area,” said Cst. Lainch-bury. “Bar patrons often forget that there are sev-eral residences on both sides of the pedestrian bridge with people who are trying to sleep.” Other issues noted by police, who are work-ing on solutions with the town, in the area are open liquor, littering and public urination.

String of Hit&RunsThe Golden-Field

RCMP is asking for anyone with informa-tion regarding sev-eral hit and runs in the area over the past couple weeks to contact them. Police received a report on July 27 after the owner of a travel trailer returned to the parking lot at Heather Mountain Lodge and observed significant damage to the rear pas-senger side.

Collision with BuildingPolice responded to

a collision downtown on July 27 after it was reported that a vehicle had collided with an office building on 9th Avenue North.

“The building sus-tained damage to both the interior and exter-ior walls as a result of the collision,” said Cst. Lainchbury. “It appears that the driver accident-ally hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes while parked outside of the building.” No injur-ies were reported as a result of the crash and police do not expect to lay charges in the mat-ter.

Assault of LandlordA 28-year-old from

Golden is scheduled to attend court on Oct. 7 after it was alleged

he assaulted his land-lord on July 27. Police attended and were advised that the land-lord had just evict-ed the male, who then assaulted him. The male was arrested and released on scene with documents requiring he appear in court and refrain from contact with the landlord.

Gas and RunPolice were called to

a fight outside a local gas station during the evening of July 27 after the owner of the store confronted a custom-er who was not able to pay for his gas after re-fueling. Police quickly responded and the two were found separated waiting for police. The 31 year-old male from Alberta explained that he ran into some hard times with work, and had come to Golden for the Motion Notion music festival when he simply ran out of money.

The male failed to get a sympathetic response from police after two empty dime bags with drug residue fell out of his wallet as he reached for ID. Police explained to him that if he was able to have money for drugs, he would be pay-ing for his gas or meet-ing with the judge. The male was able to reach his mother who agreed to pay for the transaction and provid-ed store owners with a credit card number.

Assault of a Police Officer

A 22 year-old female from Edmonton is facing charges of obstructing a police officer and assaulting a police officer after police responded to an impaired driving complaint on July 28. Police allege that the female refused to exit her vehicle after fail-ing a roadside alcohol screening test and once out of the vehicle pro-ceeded to kick one of the officers.

The female is sched-uled to attend court in Golden on Oct. 7 to answer to the two char-ges, and also received a 90 day driving suspen-sion and 30 day vehicle impoundment under the Motor Vehicle Act for failing the two sep-arate roadside screen-ing tests.

Squatters at BeaverfootA group of Motion

Notion festival goers overstayed their wel-come at the Beaverfoot Lodge after refusing to leave the property once

the festival was finished on Monday.

Police attended and spoke with the group who explained that they had paid for another night when the man-ager changed his mind and refunded them their money. The group was already packing their belongings when police arrived, and no further issues were reported.

911 is not a Taxi ServiceA 13 year-old female

called 911 on July 29 stating that she was intoxicated down-town and needed a ride home. Police were able to locate the female who, given her age, was provided transpor-tation by police and released to her moth-er. “Although in this instance a ride was pro-vided, this is not some-thing that would nor-mally be accepted,” said Cst. Lainchbury. “911 is a phone number for emergencies, not taxi service.”

Driver LocatedPolice, Golden Fire-

Rescue, and BC Ambu-lance responded to a collision on Highway 95 during the early mor-ning of July 29 after it was reported that a vehicle had been locat-ed rolled over in a ditch with unknown occu-pants.

After a search of the area nobody was locat-ed. Police worked throughout the mor-ning to locate the owner, who had left the scene and went to work in Golden. “We would ask that if you are involved in a colli-sion and do not require police or medical assist-ance, you still contact us so that we don’t receive calls from concerned motorists who are pass-ing by,” said Cst. Lainch-bury. The 35 year-old male driver from Cran-brook was the only occupant and did not report any injuries. No charges are expected in relation to the incident.

Man Held for Series of Infractions

A 27 year-old male from Edgewater found himself in police cus-tody after causing dis-turbances at both the Golden Hospital and courthouse on the afternoon of July 29.

The male, who is known to police, was arrested for being intoxicated in pub-lic after it was reported that he was yelling and screaming at staff at the hospital followed by a second report that he

was causing a disturb-ance at the courthouse. The male was released the following morning when sober, however he found himself back in jail later that night after police were called to a break in at a residence on 10th Avenue South.

The male was locat-ed inside the resi-dence and subsequent-ly arrested for break & enter and assault caus-ing bodily harm, after it was alleged that him and another male forced themselves inside, attacking three males. “One of the indi-viduals inside sustained extensive injuries as a result of the alleged attack and required medical attention,” advised Cst. Lainch-bury.

The other male, a 22 year-old from Golden, was arrested for break & enter, using a disguise, assault and breach of recognizance. Both males were brought before a Justice of the Peace for a bail hearing which resulted in the 27 year-old needing to post bail before being released, and the 22 year-old being held in custody until court on Aug. 11.

“This appears to be an isolated, target-ed incident that was retaliation for another alleged assault,” said Cst. Lainchbury. In yet another separate report police will also be forwarding theft charges against the 22 year-old male and inves-tigating the other after a report was received that two males entered a liquor store and stole several bottles of liquor prior to the break and enter. The 22 year-old was known to staff and identified to police the following day.

Threats Issued Over Debt Collection

Police were called on July 29 after it was alleged that a male approached a female telling her that she would be harmed if her husband did not pay back monies owed to him. The complainant did not wish to proceed with charges in relation to the incident, how-ever the accused was spoken with and apolo-gized to police.

Ticket Issued After Collision

Two people were transported to Gold-en Hospital following a collision on Golden Donald Upper Road on July 30 in which both police and BC Ambu-

lance attended. The driver, a 22 year-old from Cranbrook, and one of the three pas-sengers sustained min-or injuries after going off the roadway down an embankment. The driver was issued a ticket for driving without due care and for having too many passengers, con-trary to a restriction on her licence.

Tires SlashedPolice are asking

anyone with informa-tion regarding a recent increase in vehicle tires being slashed contact them after another report was received this week that a vehicle parked at the Mountain Shadows Trailer Park had its tire slashed over-night. Information can be provided to police at 250-344-2221 or anonymously through Crimestoppers at 1-800-222- 8477.

Busy Week on RoadsPolice and emer-

gency crews were busy responding to colli-sions on July 31 as the traffic increased for the long weekend. A total of five collisions were reported in the Gold-en-Field RCMP area from Rogers Pass to the BC/Alberta border, and included a single vehicle going off road near Moberly Branch Road, a vehicle being side swiped just east of the tunnels at Rogers Pass, a five car pile-up at Moberly Branch Road, and two separate colli-sions near Field.

No serious injur-ies were reported as a

result of any of the col-lisions.

Paraglider CrashOn July 31, the Gold-

en-Field RCMP was advised of a SPOT bea-con which was deter-mined to be related to a paraglider who had crashed. GADSAR responded to the call. The glider was treated for minor injuries.

Cedar disturbancePolice were called to

a disturbance at Cedar Lake on August 1, in which it was alleged that a group of approxi-mately 75 people were being confrontation-al with other visitors at the lake. Police attended and located the group who agreed to curb the behaviour.

RCMP Report: Numerous collisions and a disturbance at Cedar

On Friday morning I drove up to the high-way for a coffee, took a look at the sheer chaos up there... the bumper to bumper traffic, the excessive lineups at the drive-throughs, and the parking lots filled from edge to edge with vehi-cles... and I turned back around.

Golden was filled to the brim this weekend.

It was quite possibly the busiest I have ever seen the town. Of course long weekends always draw quite a crowd, and the highways are always jam-packed as well. Add to that the fact that the weather was hot and sunny, and it’s no surprise that the hotels were filled right up.

There could be two reasons why I feel like the town is getting busier and busier every season.

1) When I first moved here from a larger cen-tre the community felt calm by comparison, and after a few years of settling into the slower pace of small town living, I am more sensitive to the occa-sional influx of tourists.

Or 2) Tourism in Golden really is on the rise, and we are seeing more and more tourists pour-ing in every year.

I am inclined to believe the latter is the more accurate explanation.

As you can read on page 7 of this week’s Gold-en Star, Statistics Canada is already recording an increase in international visitors to British Col-umbia from last year.

From January to May this year there was a 7.8 per cent increase in international visitors to B.C. over the same period last year. That represents an increase of more than 100,000 visitors in just five months.

Real increases in visitation are quite possibly even higher than that, as these numbers only show the tourists entering Canada through a border. Domestic travel is harder to document.

Golden’s piece of that pie may be small, but you can still feel the progress right here.

I heard a local hotel owner say that every single room in town was booked this weekend, a phe-nomenon he hadn’t seen in Golden since the economic boom in the 1980s.

B.C. invests roughly $90 million annually into tourism in the province. The number seems high, especially when we’re struggling to keep up with education, healthcare and infrastruc-ture costs. But the returns on that investment are significant. In 2013 the tourism sector in B.C. employed roughly 132,200 people, and paid out about $4.5 billion in wages and salaries.

That’s a major impact on the provincial econ-omy, and an even bigger impact on our local economy.

Star opinion

- I SURMISE -By Jessica Schwitek

Some of you have been asking how the regional government system works. Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) has 6 areas (A-F). Our Area “A” is the largest geo-graphical area spanning 13 735 square km with a population of 3065 according to the 2011 census. The CSRD Board consists of 11 directors (five from member municipal-ities and six regional districts) and the chair is elected from the board. Regional dis-tricts throughout the province serve three key purposes:

• They provide general purpose local government for unincorporated areas• They provide a framework for inter-governmental cooperation so that the muni-

cipality and the regional district can undertake services together and determine cost recovery

• They serve to govern activities that are mandated by the provinceSome of the services the regional district provides are region wide such as 911 or area

wide such as parks. Others are neighbourhood specific as in the Nicholson Fire Dept. One of the challenges regional districts face is establishing services at the appropriate scale to achieve efficiencies or distribute cost fairly.

As a result, many of the services provided are done in partnership with the neighbour-ing municipalities. In our case, it is the Town of Golden. Some of the shared services provided in partnership with the Town of Golden include: cemetery, curling rink, airport (operating cost only), arena, library, emer-gency management, museum, solid waste and recycling, noxious weed enforcement, and mosquito control. These service contribute to the quality of life we all enjoy.

I hope this educational piece has been interesting and useful. It may have raised more questions than answers. I love hearing from you and I am always happy to help find answers to your questions. Please connect with me at:

The National Healthy Living Platform: Carrot Rewards was launched last week by the Federal Min-ister of Health, Rona Ambrose, with the Government of British Columbia's Minister of Health, Terry Lake and Andreas Souvaliotis, Founder and CEO of Social Change Rewards.

The Government of Canada is investing $5 million in this project, and the Government of British Columbia is providing $2.5 million in funding to help create, imple-ment and promote the new app. This project has already received initial commitments of over $15 million in total funding from governments, non-governmental organiz-ations and the private sector over a five year period.

The Government of Canada is partnering with the Government of British Columbia, Social Change Rewards, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Can-adian Diabetes Association and YMCA Canada to create the National Healthy Living Platform: Carrot Rewards app. The program will be launched first in British Col-umbia this fall, and then will expand to other provinces

and territories in the future.Social Change Rewards will develop Carrot Rewards,

an online app, which will use incentives to reward Can-adians for making healthy lifestyle decisions. Can-adians will be able to download the Carrot Rewards app, which will be available in the fall, and receive their choice of loyalty points for engaging in specific health promotion activities that target the common risk fac-tors associated with maintaining healthy weights and combating chronic diseases. Each time participants complete an activity they will receive points and will be further rewarded for completing follow-up assessments on an annual basis or other ongoing activities.

An existing program supported by the federal govern-ment through a partnership with the YMCA has shown that people engaged in a rewards program increased their physical activity 110% and were active 2.8 times per week, up from 1.3 times per week. These types of programs have a track record of producing results that increase healthy behaviours, reducing the burden of cost on the health system for chronic disease.

Last week’s announcement further supports the com-mitment by the Government of Canada and Govern-

ment of British Columbia for new, health-driven innov-ations. Carrot Rewards is another important initiative under the federal multi-sectoral partnerships approach to promote healthy living, and is another tool to add to the Healthy Families BC strategy, which focuses on improving the health and wellness of British Colum-bians through programs aimed at decreasing tobacco use, increasing opportunities for physical activity, sup-porting healthy eating, and promoting healthy weights.

This is one of many partnerships made under the Government of Canada's Multi-Sectoral Partnership Approach to Healthy Living and Chronic Disease Pre-vention, which invests $20 million per year in projects that focus on addressing common risk factors, such as unhealthy eating, physical inactivity, and smoking, to prevent chronic disease.

Other projects include The Play Exchange, a nation-al challenge to encourage active living in Canada, the FIFA 11+ and Movement Preparation soccer injury pre-vention program and the RBC and ParticipACTION Learn to Play Project, a national program aimed at improving physical literacy among Canada's children and youth.

Keep your eye out for new app that rewards you for healthy choices

Ministry of TourismSubmitted

British Columbia is showing strong growth in international overnight visitors with overall numbers up by an addition-al 34,785 visitors or 8.3% over May 2014, and year-to-date up by 103,993 visitors or 7.8% over the same period last year.

Statistics Canada figures show an increase in international overnight visitors across many important markets, an important indicator of tourism indus-try growth.

Leading the way from the Asia-Pacific region, visitors from Japan are up 17.5% over last May, and from South Korea up 8.6%. Visitors from New Zealand are up 15.6% and up 14.3% from India.

Growth from the United States, B.C.'s largest international market, was up 9.3%, with an additional 24,760 visitors over May 2014.

Visitors from Europe were up 13.1% over last May, including France up 46.1%, the Netherlands up 36.1%, Switzerland up 35%, and Germany up 25.5%.

This solid growth in the tourism sector

is due to a number of factors, including a strong U.S. dollar, lower fuel prices and increased flight capacity to B.C. Tourism is also about opportunity - by capitalizing on strong markets and strategic market-ing investments, B.C.'s visitor economy is outperforming the rest of Canada.

This positive growth builds on sol-id growth last year, with a 5.3% increase in international visitors overall in 2014 - almost a quarter of a million (234,079) more visitors coming from outside the country than the year before.

These increases in visitor numbers

help support over 19,000 businesses and 132,000 jobs in the tourism sector in B.C.

“Anecdotally, we’ve been hearing that this spring and early summer was look-ing very strong on the tourism front, and the increases in international vis-itor numbers appear to back that up. B.C. is an exciting tourism destination that delivers a wide range of outstand-ing experiences, adventures and service to those who visit, and should be a must-see on your global travel list,” said Nao-mi Yamamoto, Minister of Tourism and Small Business.

There is still time to go check out the Art Gallery of Golden’s current exhibit, which features the illustrated field journals of ecologist Lyn Baldwin.

As a professor of ecology and botany at Thomp-son Rivers University, Baldwin has found a way to combine her passion for nature with her instinct-ive writing and artistic talents.

“I have come to believe that recording natural history, with its emphasis on the observable, can be undertaken by anyone from an accomplished artist to a young child using stick figures,” wrote Baldwin. “The pages of illustrated field journals, however, do more than just document. Any field record is an act of translation, as naturalists seeks to decipher the complexity of the natural world into recognizable order.”

Baldwin’s exhibit, titled Finding Place, explores her home through field journal art, and also asks some profound questions. How do we know what is true? How do we populate the imaginary terrain of our own existence with the myths that give life meaning?

Finding Place will remain at AGOG until Sept. 9.

Quirky, funny and at times shockingly dark, Birdman follows the life of Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton), a former movie star who attempts to revive his fading career on Broad-way following a suc-cessful run as a super-hero. Completing the muddled picture is the eccentric, egotistical stage actor Mike Shin-er (Edward Norton) and Riggan’s troubled daughter Samantha (Emma Stone).

From the outset, we are introduced to Rig-gan as a washed-up Hollywood actor who is best remembered for his role as Birdman in a popular superhero series. In an effort to turn around both his career and his life, Rig-gan embarks on a risky project as he attempts to direct and star in his own Broadway play.

After Riggan ousts his co-star Ralph in spec-tacular fashion, Mike is brought into the fold as his replacement, which creates its own unique problems. Mike is an unpredictable but bril-liant actor who caus-es turmoil during the play’s preview shows.

Meanwhile, we learn that Samantha is just out of rehab and the relationship between father and daughter is

a rocky one at the best of times.

Through all of this, Riggan is frequent-ly mocked by a voice inside his head while also experiencing hal-lucinations. He’s just barely able to keep it all together as opening night approaches and the judging eyes of crit-ics await. Birdman is a curious

study of a character who is experiencing a sort of mid-life crisis - “I’m the answer to a Trivial Pursuit ques-tion” as he exclaims in one scene - having watched his career go down the drain and lost nearly everything and everyone that he cares about. It takes a good, hard look at depres-sion, addiction and mental illness but in a subtle, understated way that doesn’t quite hit

you until the film’s con-clusion.

Director Alejan-dro G. Inarritu also deserves a pile of cred-it for telling the story in a creative way that enhances, rather than detracts, from the overall theme. Notice-ably, there are few cuts throughout the film, with Inarritu striving to make the film appear as though it’s one, long single shot. The sound-track is nearly exclusive-ly made up of a single drummer, whose fast paced fills add a sense of intensity to scenes that might otherwise be lacking in suspense.

Despite its Best Pic-ture win at the Oscars, I don’t believe Bird-man was the best film of 2014. It wasn’t far off though, and it’s easi-ly worth 9 mouse clicks out of 10.

The Net Result: Birdman

Q – I know I’m not allergic to nuts, but they never seem to agree with my diges-tion. Is there anything I can do so that I can enjoy one of my favour-ite healthy snacks?

A – I’m glad you’ve ruled out a nut allergy. Both people with IgE (anaphylactic) immune responses and IgG (delayed type) immune responses need to be very cau-

tious and avoid any exposure to nuts. For those who are not aller-gic, nuts and seeds pro-vide us with our healthy fats and are an excel-lent source of Vitamin E, a nerve protector and immune-enhan-cing anti-oxidant. As well, they are a good source of protein in the diet.

In fact, the fat in nuts and seeds that make them so healthy could also be what is caus-ing your problems. This is not because of the fat itself, but what happens when these fats come in contact with air. Once nuts are shelled, their oils are exposed to the air and break down into toxic substances (or are oxi-dized) very quickly. When this occurs, the oil is said to be rancid.

You may have noticed a musty smell com-ing from your mixed nuts or trail mix. This is a clear sign that your nuts are rancid and shouldn’t be eaten. Rancidity can irritate the digestion and inter-fere with proper digest-ive enzyme produc-tion. It has also been linked to decreased immunity and there-fore to other illnesses.

It is best to buy raw nuts and seeds that are within their shells. Once hulled or shelled, store seeds and nuts in sealed con-tainer and in the freez-er. This will slow the process of oxidation that creates rancid oils, but will not prevent it. Therefore it is import-ant to consume nuts and seeds within a few days of shelling. Light-

ly roasting (low heat!) or soaking freshly shelled nuts and seeds also help to prevent rancidity, and make them easier to digest. Careful not to use too much heat as this can also cause rancidity.

Railway had alcohol-related regulations before national Prohibition

With so much inter-est in the changing face of the laws regard-ing marijuana I took look at the “Pro-hibition Act” in Can-ada. The dictionary definition of prohibi-tion is: Forbidding; edict, order that for-bids; forbidding by law of sale of intoxicants. It was believed that pro-hibition would reduce crime and corruption, solve social problems, reduce tax burden created by prisons and poorhouses and improve the health of the Canadian people.

The CPR had first enacted a form of pro-hibition in order to keep their workers sober and the com-munities in which they lived safe. At first CPR’s act stated that the distance between an establishment that sold alcohol and the railway would be sev-en miles. This was soon changed to 20 miles and places like the Hog Ranch (Parson B.C) at the 21 mile opened in order to accom-

modate the drinking population. This act also started a string of “Whiskey Trails” that were just outside of the legal 20 mile line. These trails were used to transport the liquor from one safe place to another.

When it became apparent that the gov-ernment really meant to enact Prohibition the public tried many different things in order help defeat the motion. In August, 1916, the following article was distributed around the provinces to try to get the sympa-thy vote.

What the Prohibi-tion Act means to Housewives- Measure Interferes with Estab-lished Household Customs and Practi-ces: “The Prohibition Act has a meaning for women as well as men and there are features of the measure which every housewife and mother should take into account. Near-ly every family has in its cupboard or medi-cine chest a supply of brandy, port wine or other liquor for med-ical use in case of an emergency. This is well- established cus-tom in all civilized countries and time after time this pre-ventive measure meets conditions of urgent necessity.

As the traffic in

liquor is now handled a person may go to licensed premises and secure a flask of brandy at a cost of 50 cents or less. Under the terms of the prohibition act it will still be possible to secure brandy within the province for such purposes. It means however that instead of going to the liquor premises for the sup-ply, the head of the household must first go to the doctor for the prescription (fee of $2) then go to the drug store and secure the liquor at drug store rates which, for the same quantity, would cost from $2.50

or $3.50. The com-parison between the present method and the prohibition law is striking, especially from a financial stand-point.

Nearly every house-hold wife uses brandy, port, Madeira or other in connection with her household cook-ing. Especially this is so around Christmas time when the plum pudding of our coun-try forefathers, the time honoured Christ-mas fruit cake and the appetizing mince pie, all of which require liquor for proper prep-aration, must be pro-vided. Under the Pro-

hibition law no pro-vision is made for supplying liquor for household purpos-es, hence the house-wife must, some weeks beforehand, send her good money out of the province to secure the supply which she for-mally secured locally without difficulty. In addition to the trouble and inconvenience of this arrangement she will find that the prices she will pay will be con-siderably higher than those she was accus-tomed to, on account of the transportation charges.

Continued from page 11It is not only in the great-

er things, on which strong utterances are being made in the discussion of the Prohibi-tion Act that the measure plays a part, but even in min-or details such as are noted above it will be found to dir-ectly inconvenience and dis-commode.

A reading of the Act will show this it is not a Prohibi-tion Act in any sense of the term, and that all intelli-gent electors who have the best interest of the province at heart, should vote against the measure.”

Prohibition in B.C. was enacted on October 1, 1917 with a vote of 133 for Prohibi-tion and 62 against. After the vote was decided, a commis-sioner was appointed by the province to enforce the pro-hibition law, but the job was too big for the commissioner to handle himself.

The prohibition act wasn’t successful and was eventual-ly removed. As I was looking through the old police diar-ies for the years preceding and the years following the enact-ment of the “Prohibition Act” I could see that the act did make a difference. The number of people arrested for alcohol related offenses dropped dra-matically. I did however also find more incidences of boot-legging although this offense was just marginally up.

In 2008, the members of Alphababy decided that they’d have to change their band’s name in order to fully progress and reach their potential. The decision came with some encouragement from singer-songwriter Jon-Rae Fletcher, who was tour-ing with the group at the time.

“We kind of needed a fresh start. So we figured that if you change your name, every-thing will kind of flow from there which it did…we start-ed writing all new songs with all new material. It was basic-ally a brand new band,” said guitarist Brandon Scott.

The group came to be known as Yukon Blonde and they’ve gradually built a considerable following in B.C. and across Canada ever since. Today, the band con-tinues to look forward, rarely, if ever, thinking about their original name and sound as Alphababy.

“We were just young guys at the time with Alphababy so I feel like we grew up a lot,” Scott said.

Their latest record, On Blonde, was released this spring and features the sin-gle “Saturday Night,” a tune that principal songwriter Jeff

Innes brought to the group as more of a joke, a surpris-ingly common occurrence for the band.

“There were at least four (on this record) that he thought were total throw-aways…he thought (Satur-day Night) was a total joke too and I was like ‘man, we can make this a great song’,” Scott laughed.

While On Blonde repre-sents a slightly darker theme compared to its previous rec-ords, what remains the same is the group’s catchy brand of rock that has made them a hit with concert goers since their debut record in 2009.

“We’re fans of pop music so that kind of comes naturally, to write catchy songs. We’re

just fortunate that radio has caught on…it’s really cool when you get a bit of radio attention because it really shows with your shows. You get a different crowd…it reaches a lot more people,” Scott said.

Yukon Blonde earned its fair share of fans in Golden after a 2013 concert and are being brought back for this year’s Golden Sound Festi-val by Todd Menzies, a friend of the band and one of the festival’s primary organiz-ers. Yukon Blonde will head-line the first night of the two-night festival on Aug. 21.

“We’re definitely looking forward to that weekend…Love coming to Golden, it’s a beautiful town,” Scott said.

He was happy, healthy and very active to his last day enjoying the outdoors and his retired lifestyle.He was born in a small town in Croatia that was vibrant with farms and vineyards. He grew up around horses and enjoyed animals and farm life. He learned to be very hard working from his father. When he was of age he went to fulfi ll his duty in the army in Croatia. He was part of the army that was supposed to be on cross country skis but it never snowed that year. Aft er he fi nished his military term he crossed the border into Austria with a few friends in . He worked in Austria for a few years and then he heard about the opening to leave for Canada. Out of 13 siblings he was the only one to leave Croatia and go to Canada to seek employment and adventure.

Once in Vancouver, the immigration offi ce sent him to Parson BC to work in a mill.He came to Canada on August 8, 1958 and although knowing none of the English language and only with a half empty suitcase he found work in Parson BC at the mill for two years and then aft er 2 years he got a job at the Evans Plywood Plant in Golden BC.

He always maintained his devotion to his family in Croatia, he was a member of the Okanagan Croatian Club. He was a proud Croatian Canadian and always stayed true to his roots, making sure to refl ect the same pride onto his two daughters. His greatest pride was his family and he was a good teacher, he gave good advice and although he was stern, he was always very loving too..His passion of gardening, growing fruit tress and breeding European Goldfi nches and canaries grew during his retirement. He enjoyed playing Bocce, doing things in his yard, making wine, travelling to Croatia, travelling to tropical places like Hawaii and meeting his friends for coff ee.
