Last year the Columbia Basin Trust embarked on their largest community engagement pro-ject to date. Through that process, the organiz-ation has determined where it wants to go over the next five years.

Moving forward, the Trust will focus on 13 strategic priorities, most of which were already on the Trust’s radar in one way or another. How-ever there are a few new areas of focus include-ing agriculture, renewable and alternative energy, and early childhood and childhood development.

They will continue to put resources toward

broadband, arts and culture, affordable hous-ing, and non-profit support, among many others.

The local CBT office hosted an open house last week to unveil and discuss the new five-year plan, and to let residents know what will, and what won’t be changing right here in Golden.

Sale pending for St. Joseph’s Church, a historic landmark in Field

Joel [email protected]

Nestled far below the towering, snow-capped heights of Mount Stephen lies a small, aging church that’s been mostly dormant for years.

Aside from the occasional church ser-vice and wedding, St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church in Field is seldom used. When it did host services, they were organ-ized by Sacred Heart in Golden, exclu-sively in the summer months. Attendance was poor and parishioners could often be counted on one hand.

That, more than anything, is why the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nelson decid-ed to sell the building.

“There’s so few people there…we see no reason to maintain the church there any more,” said Bishop John Corriveau.

While services at St. Joseph’s have been sparsely attended in recent years, that’s not to say that the facility’s recent exist-ence has been a lonely one. Far from it.

A fixture in Field since 1908, St. Joseph’s is the most photographed building in the village. You’d be hard pressed to find any statistics to back that up, but you’d be equally hard pressed to make a legitimate argument for a contender to that title.

It’s easy to see why, as St. Joseph’s loca-tion under the 3,199 metre Mount Ste-phen makes for an attractive shot for pho-tographers, from amateurs to profession-als.

The building itself could probably use some work. The rickety steps leading to its weathered wooden doorway could do with a fresh coat of paint, at the very least, and the double doors on the way into the sanctuary tend to stick. Inside, its two rows of pews - which might be able to seat 50 individuals depending on what each had for breakfast - remain intact. Other than the sanctuary, there’s just a small room at the back that was once a confessional.

And it’s not that the church smells bad, but there is a distinct odour inside St. Joseph’s walls, the kind of smell that you might expect from a building that’s stood tall for over a century.

Indeed, St. Joseph’s has character and more than a touch of small-town charm.

The church’s first home was actual-ly in Donald, built in 1888 by railroad construction crews. It was later moved to Field, where it has remained for 108 years. It used to be a hub for worship, with Field’s many Italian residents making up a large part of the church’s congregation.

Now, St. Joseph’s is more of an icon, a landmark for a town of just a few hundred people.

Lately, there is concern amongst those few hundred about what the building’s fate may be. At one time there were four churches in Field, but only St. Joseph’s remains.

“A lot of visitors have dropped by there for mass and in times of need. The church has always been left open for people to come in and out freely as they please over the 35 or 40 years that I’ve lived here,” said resident Joanie Keefer.

“It’s such a landmark in the town here. It gives off a sense of holiness. It’s an amaz-ing place.”

The building was officially put on the market this summer. A potential buyer has been found and the sale is pending. In anticipation of the sale, the Catholic Church removed all religious artifacts from within the building over the sum-mer.

When the Field Community Coun-cil heard about the Church’s intention to sell, they made a proposal: they asked the Church to donate the building to the community.

Their case for a donation was made stronger when taking into account the work that residents of Field have put into St. Joseph’s in its more recent history.

“Over the past 35 years, at least two dif-ferent work parties were put into place to take care of painting, roof and bell tow-er maintenance, stair work, chimney repair…This work was raised with funds donated by the community through fund-raisers and donations by individuals, businesses and past parishioners. Over

$10,000 was raised, and work completed through paid and volunteer time,” Keef-er said.

“The community really did step in to take care of it through cutting the grass, shovelling the snow…there’s definitely been a commitment from the commun-ity and we felt that, given it’s such a signifi-cant building, that (a donation) would be the right thing to do,” said Craig Chap-man, who has lived in Field for 20 years and chairs the Community Council.

Chapman said that the village of Field’s intention was to maintain the building as it is and run a wedding chapel.

While Bishop Corriveau says he is very appreciative of the work that the com-munity has done over the years, he denied their request.

“We’re not in the habit of giving our churches away…first of all, it’s not my church to give away. I’m the administra-tor of other people’s properties and with that church, I have to be respectful of two points: Number one, the intention of all those people who built that church ori-ginally,” Bishop Corriveau said.

“Secondly, over the years religious ser-vices were maintained because of the generosity of the (Catholic) community in Golden…I have no basis for donating that to the municipality of Field.”

Bishop Corriveau later added that the Catholic Church simply couldn’t afford to make a donation of this sort, and that if the church were to be given away, he’d have looked at moving the building out of Field to a location that was in need of a better worship facility.

The village of Field was given the first opportunity to purchase the building, but Chapman says that was never a realis-tic possibility for the community with the church’s price tag set at $35,000.

Because the church is not a designat-ed heritage building by Parks Canada, its ultimate fate could be left up to the wishes of the buyer, a concern for many residents of Field who would like to see the church remain as is.

“It still seems like a spiritual place now…the doors are still open and the pews are in there. That would be my greatest fear, is that the whole structure would be torn down,” Keefer said. “It’s the fear of a lot of people, not only that live in this town but past (residents).”

“People always just assume that some-thing will be what it is. So it’s a shock to the community when they see a change. People, rightfully so, want to see it pre-served…there’s a lot of history in town and we’ve lost a lot of history. So people just don’t want to see those sort of mis-takes being made again,” Chapman said.

St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church in Field is as photogenic as ever despite its age. Photo Submitted

Convicted of Impaired Driving in Alberta - Can I Drive in BC?The basis of this story comes from an inquiry posed by a young man who moved from BC to

Alberta for work and was convicted for drinking and driving. He lost his job and was forced to move back home. The Justice of the Peace at the courthouse in Alberta advised that his driving prohibition was for the province of Alberta and that this should not stop him from obtaining a BC driver’s licence when he returned home. The Justice of the Peace was not correct.

Anyone who is prohibited from operating a motor vehicle by the law of a province and drives commits an o� ence under the Criminal Code of Canada. Put more simply, if you are prohibited from driving by the law of any province, you are prohibited from driving anywhere in Canada. If you choose to drive and are convicted, you will have a criminal record for doing so.

When this young man visits an ICBC Driver Service Center to regain his BC driver’s licence he will be asked if he is currently prohibited from driving in another jurisdiction. If he answers honestly a check will be made with the Alberta authorities. The con� rmed impaired driving conviction will be entered on his driving record and he will be automatically prohibited from driving in BC for one year from the date of the Alberta conviction. If he lies and is caught, other criminal sanctions will result if he is convicted.

Continuing to drive without a licence, prohibited or not, will only serve to make the problem worse. There are signi� cant � nes, possible jail sentences, vehicle impounds and further prohibitions that could be applied.

While the consequences of this young man’s poor decision look signi� cant for him, it is nothing in comparison to the potential harm his choice presented to both himself and others. Driving while impaired by alcohol, legal or illegal drugs is still far too common on our highways. Never drive while your abilities are impaired.

CBT’s granting system, for example, is high-ly utilized by various organizations in Golden. The funds dedicated to that will remain con-stant.

But there are also new programs available to local groups, including a Non-profit Advisors Program. The program pairs non-profits with an expert to help them in areas such as human resources, financial management, govern-ance, and more.

All in all, however, the Trusts priorities have remained relatively constant, if not a little more focused.

“It would be disappointing for the organiz-ation if there were huge surprises (from the

engagement),” said Neal Muth, CBT presi-dent. “We pride ourselves in having continu-ous and ongoing engagement with the people of the Basin, and this helps us understand what is important to them and what the issues are that they are dealing with.”

The Trust invests in power projects, which they will continue to do, and it is the income earned on those investments that gets deliv-ered back into Basin communities through various projects and initiatives.

Moving forward, however, the Trust will look into investing in ways that may not earn a high return, but will yield other benefits, such as job creation.

The complete five-year plan is available at cbt.org.

Engagement didn’t reveal any surprises

Tourism company raising funds for GADSARGolden Star [email protected]

As Golden gets ready for winter with the annual Ski Swap and Snow Show this weekend, and the premiere of Paradise Waits, an initiative is being taken on to support the organization that helps keep everyone safe in the winter season.

Golden building permits surpass $6 million in 2015

Jessica [email protected]

The Town of Golden broke a record this year when the total dollar value of building permits in the municipality surpassed the $6 million mark.

“That is the highest value the Town of Golden has ever seen,” said Jon Wilsgard, chief adminis-trative officer for the Town of Golden.

The 2015 figures (which are year-to-date, and could increase by the end of the year), were pre-sented at the last council meeting.

A few large projects (such as the new brewery and the child care centre) contribute to the year’s spike. Last year the total value of construction permits was just over $4.5 million.

With the exception of two industrial permits issued (compared to zero last year), the quantity of permits has not increased, but the dollar value has.

Telemarketer Fraud

Police are reminding residents to be cau-tious when dealing with telemarketers as many may be looking to obtain your infor-mation for fraudulent purposes.

“This week we had two separate incidents of people fraudulently obtaining money from local residents,” said Cst. Spencer Lainch-bury, spokesperson for the Golden-Field RCMP.

Both incidents saw victims lose large amounts of money to fraudsters, including one who was posing as the Canada Revenue-Agency. If you believe you have been a victim of a fraud, immediate-ly contact the Golden-Field RCMP at 250-344-2221.

Should you feel that you received a fraudu-lent call, but were not a victim of fraud you can report the call to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501.

Laptop Stolen

On October 27 police received a report that a laptop had been stolen out of a vehicle that was parked at the Emer-ald Lake Lodge over-night.

Police are continu-ing to investigate and are asking anyone with information regard-ing this incident con-tact them at 250-344-2221 or Crimestop-pers at 1-800-222-8477.

Break and Enter

Police are investigat-ing after receiving a report that a rural resi-dence near Parson was broken into sometime on October 27.

Missing from the residence are a num-ber of video games, lighters, and a Sam-sung Tab4 tablet. Any-one with information regarding this break & enter is asked to con-tact police or Crimes-toppers.

Stolen Sled Recovered

The Golden-Field RCMP were called to

recover a snowmobile that had been found in a rural area near Nicholson on Octo-ber 28.

The caller believed that the sled may be stolen, and upon attendance police confirmed that the sled had been stolen out of Golden earlier in the month.

The sled was brought back to the Golden RCMP Detachment where it was later returned to the owner. Police are still looking for information on who is responsible for the theft.

Anyone with infor-mation is asked to con-tact the Golden-Field RCMP or Crimestop-pers.

Passenger Yelling on Bus

On October 29 the Golden-Field RCMP were called by a bus driver for Greyhound requesting they assist him in removing a passenger who had become intoxicated since getting on the bus in Revelstoke.

Police attended and

spoke with the driver who stated that other passengers became uncomfortable when the male began yelling and swearing on the bus.

Police then spoke with the male who was quite obviously intoxi-cated.

The male was arrested for Causing a Disturbance and lodged in cells until sober.

Suspected Drug Use

Police were called on October 30 after a local hotel owner believed that there were people smok-ing marijuana inside a vehicle parked out-side of the hotel.

Upon attendance police were not able to find any evidence that the two were smoking marijuana, and the two stated they had sim-ply stopped to take a break from driving. No other complaints were received regard-ing the vehicle and the two continued on their way.

Shoplifting

A 34 year-old from the Malakwa area is scheduled to appear in court on December 1 after she allegedly stole just under $100 worth of merchandise from a local grocery store on October 30.

“The female caught the attention of staff after she filled a bag full of items and then walked out of the store without making any attempt at payment,” said Cst. Lainchbury.

The female was held until police could arrive where she was then arrested. The female was later released with docu-ments requiring her to attend court to answer to the allega-tion.

More Gas Theft

The Golden-Field RCMP received a report of gas being syphoned out of a vehicle on Golden View Road sometime during the weekend

of October 24-25. A U-Haul vehicle was parked on the prop-erty and had at least a half of a tank of gas.

When the owner of the property returned the tank was empty and a hose was found a short distance away. Anyone with informa-tion regarding this theft is asked to con-tact police or Crimes-toppers.

Halloween Shenani-gans

Two local youths found themselves rid-ing home in the back of a police car after police were called to two separate incidents on Halloween night.

The first incident involved police being called to a large party on October 31.

“Several police offi-cers responded to the call where it was deter-mined that a number of youths were drink-ing,” said Cst. Lainch-bury.

“Most party goers dispersed once police arrived, however one stood out to police as being fairly intoxicat-ed and was given a ride home to his parents.”

The second call came in just before 4 a.m. when police were called to a local gas station as a youth was intoxicated at the store. The youth was also picked up and driven home to her parents.

Drunk Wanders into Wrong House in Field

The Golden-Field RCMP are reminding residents to lock the doors to their hous-es after, for a second week in a row, some-one walked into some-one else’s house unan-nounced.

Police were called to a residence in Field on November 1 just after 2 a.m., when it was reported that an intoxicated male entered the complain-ant’s residence.

The female resi-dent was woken up by the door to her house opening and found a male leaning

up against her couch. Police attended but were not able to locate the male who took off on foot.

The male is described as white, approximately 6 feet tall, wearing a red ball cap, a blue and orange vest, and jeans. Any-one with information regarding this inci-dent is asked to con-tact the Golden-Field RCMP or Crimestop-pers.

Trailer Stolen

Police are investi-gating after receiv-ing a report of theft on November 1. Both a trailer and a 4500 litre fuel tank were taken from a pit near Quartz Creek, west of Golden.

Other items stolen included two plasma televisions, a 3000 watt Honda generator, a range finder, cloth-ing, and other items with a total approxi-mate value of $20,000. Anyone with informa-tion regarding this theft is asked to con-tact police or Crimes-toppers.

A reward may be offered for informa-tion that leads to an arrest.

Traffic Services

On October 30 at approximately 6 a.m., the Golden-Field RCMP, along with the Golden Fire-Rescue, and BC Ambulance Service, responded to a report of a single vehicle roll-over into a residential property on Hwy 95 south of Golden near Parson.

The driver and sole occupant, a 36-year-old male from Ver-non, was deceased on scene. Highway 95 was reduced to single lane alternating traf-fic for a few hours, re-opening once emer-gency crews depart-ed the scene. The BC Coroner’s office is still investigating the inci-dent.

Drunk Driving

A 28 year-old male from Maple Ridge

had his driver’s license suspended for 90 days and his vehicle impounded for 30 under the Immediate Road-side Prohibition pro-gram after police allege that he failed two roadside alco-hol screening device tests on the evening of October 30.

“A traffic stop was initially conducted with the vehicle as it had no insurance,” said Cst. Lainchbury

“In speaking with the driver, the police officer believed that the driver had alcohol in his body and the two tests were conducted resulting in ‘fail’ read-ings.”

Driver Ran Red Light

Police with Traf-fic Services issued another Immediate Roadside Prohibi-tion this week after they allege that a 38 year-old male from Golden failed to pro-vide samples of his breath.

“A traffic stop was conducted on Nov-ember 1 after the officer alleged that the driver failed to come to a stop at a red light,” said Cst. Lainchbury.

Police formed the opinion that the driv-er had alcohol in his system, and police state that the driv-er was given several opportunities to pro-vide a sample of his breath but failed to provide the samples.

As a result the driv-er had his vehicle impounded for 30 days and his driver’s licence was also sus-pended for 90 days.

As your MLA, I often receive requests from constituents for access to infor-mation, information that you have every right as a citizen to receive.

My staff work with people to access information through Freedom of Infor-mation, and most would be shocked to discover just how difficult, slow, and costly accessing even the most basic information can be.

Your government has a responsibility to retain relevant documents and to provide access under the Freedom of Information Act. This is not just a moral requirement, it is actually a legal requirement.

There are well-established protocols on what has to be retained. And when it is discovered, as it has been recently, that the BC Liberal government has not retained the required documents and correspondences, you must understand that it is not a simple mistake.

It is a deliberate act.A report has recently come out on three clear cases where the BC Liber-

als broke the law, and, as a result, a government political staff member is now under investigation by the RCMP.

What has become clear is that the Premier’s office, the Ministry of Transportation, and the Ministry responsible for ensuring that Freedom of Information laws are actually followed, all have political staff that routinely purge records that they are legally obliged to keep.

Whether it is the fact that proper documents are either very deliberately not created, or that electronic documents are ‘triple-deleted’ to permanently destroy them, the actions of this government are in blatant disregard of the law.

The documents that we now know were destroyed related to serious abuses of government power such as the firing of health researchers, a travesty that resulted in a suicide of one of the falsely accused research-ers.

These health researchers were falsely accused for political reasons, likely on the direct orders from the Premier’s office.

- I SURMISE -By Jessica Schwitek

Stay right, slow pokes MLA Report: Liberal destruction deliberateThe snow line is get-

ting lower and low-er every day, it won’t be long now until the highways and roads are blanketed in white.

That means win-ter tires, and keeping speeds reasonable on the highways. But don’t forget that the same rules apply on the road regardless of the sea-son.

I’m talking about left-lane hogs.

A Driving.ca poll has left-lane hogs leading in public opinion as the most “blood boiling” hab-it on the road.

It beat out texting and driving, slow drivers, tailgating, excessive speeders, and yes, even drunk driving.

Yet even though this irritating driving habit is commonly acknowledged, it’s still rampant on B.C.’s roads and highways.

It’s so common that the Province decided to enact a “keep right except to pass” law, which, if you ask me, has yet to curb the behaviour.

Yet after several months of the regulation being in place, and with the signs up, I haven’t heard of a single violation ticket being issued (that of course doesn’t mean there hasn’t been). Although it is an admittedly tough regulation to enforce.

However, I see the biggest barrier to seeing few-er slow pokes in the left lane is our perception of the problem. Most people look at it as an irrita-tion, simply inconsiderate behaviour. When real-ly, it is actually quite dangerous.

The road, inside the safety of our vehicles, is where most of us seem to be the most aggressive and agitated.

It doesn’t take much for most drivers to lose their cool.

And even though it is the sole responsibility of the driver to make safe decisions, it’s just foolish to discount the motivations behind unsafe deci-sions as a factor.

Slow inconsiderate drivers, blocking the safe passing route in the left lane, is one of those motivations. These drivers aren’t forcing anyone to pass in an unsafe manner, but they sure are taunting them.

All unsafe behaviour (that is banned by law) on the road is penalized; speeding, using electron-ic devices, driving while intoxicated. Even rules that only affect personal safety, such as not wear-ing a seat belt, are enforced. This shouldn’t be any different.

Winter is coming but no one is hiber-nating at Lady Grey! We have all kinds of learning and leading going on!

On October 17th and 18th, close to 70 participants attended the com-munity workshop about the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Many par-ents from the schools in Golden and other community members took the opportun-ity to think about how to use the habits in their own lives, work and personal. There was some discus-sion about develop-ing ways to share with others that couldn’t make it and offer this training again with community resour-ces. A huge thanks goes to Lori Baxen-dale for her tireless fundraising efforts and her commitment

to the success of our community.

Some Grade 7 stu-dents organized a logo contest to come up with a pic-ture to match our new motto: I learn, I lead, We Succeed. Every class had the opportunity to enter 2 logos. Then stu-dents and staff were each given 2 votes to choose the overall winning logo. The winning logo was designed by Dan-ielle Weigl, grade 7. The logo is being put on t-shirts and other merchandise that will be available for sale soon.

BEYOND RECYC-LING: By Lauren Russell and Alexia Côté

Mme Bernier’s class and Ms. Kel-ly-McArthur’s class are participating in a year-long pro-gram called Beyond Recycling. Beyond Recycling is a Wild-sight program that is

being presented in this school by Alysia Daciw. It is about keeping our environ-ment safe and how good choices can affect our impact on the planet earth. Last week Alysia came to Mme Bernier’s class and talked about waste and how much waste we pro-duce now compared to the past.

This is how much we waste every day!!!

Caveman Time: 0 kg Pre-historic Farmers: 0.2 kg

Ancient Greece: 0.5 kg Industrial revolution: 1 kg

Post-World War 2: 1.2 kg Present Day: 2.6 kg [6 pounds]

Alysia will be going to Mme Bernier’s and Ms. Kelly McArthur’s classes each week to learn more, not just about waste but anything related to recycling and hav-ing a healthy earth. Thank-you, Alysia!

We would like to express our grati-tude for a number of things:  

-Our Book Fair raised over $1400 worth of books for our library. Thanks to students and par-ents for their support

of this annual event!-Thanks to the Col-

umbia Valley Credit Union for donating $1000 to the Break-fast Clubs at the 3 elementary schools again this year! Alex-ander Park, Lady Grey and Nicholson students appreciate their support of this popular and import-ant program!

- Also, Lady Grey Elementary has been "adopted" by Col-umbia Valley Cred-it Union through BC Book Prizes "Adopt-a-Library" program! What this means is that Columbia Val-ley CU has provided a

$500 donation for us to select $500 worth of BC Book Prizes finalist books that will most enrich the school’s library. Our students will benefit greatly from this gen-erous donation!

-A big thank you to parents and guard-ians for making the time to come in for student-parent-teacher interviews last week. We appre-ciate the opportun-ity for students and teachers to com-municate the learn-ing that has hap-pened so far this year with parents and set some goals together.

Principal’s Report: Nearly 70 attend 7 Habits workshopContinued from page 6

This gov-ernment also destroyed docu-ments related to the government’s lack of response to the Highway of Tears.

We know that it is not just the Premier’s office, or these two min-istries, that are engaging in these unlawful acts. It is far wider than that.

This is the cul-ture of this gov-ernment, and it absolutely cannot be tolerated.

Governments have tremendous power. But gov-ernments are not above the law. We must demand that this government follow the law.

I would encour-age you to make your thoughts known direct-ly to the Premier at [email protected].

Kicking Horse Cul-ture continues to bring a little bit of the Toronto Inter-national Film Festi-val (TIFF) to Golden with the latest movie in the Film Kicks ser-ies, Phoenix.

The German drama takes you on a jour-ney with Nelly (Nina Hoss), a German-Jew-ish nightclub sing-er, who has survived a concentration camp, but with her face dis-figured by a bullet wound.

After undergoing extensive recon-structive surgery, Nelly emerges with a new face.

She then seeks out her estranged hus-band, to whom she is now unrecognizable, and tries to figure out if the man she loves may have been the one who betrayed her to the Nazis.

The movie received

rave reviews at TIFF, and is being brought to Golden audiences for one night only.

Phoenix is playing at the Golden Cinema on Thursday Nov. 12 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $10 ($12 for non-KHC members), and are cash only.

What happens when one man believes that there are no grey areas in life, that one either has it all or nothing?

I suppose that’s part of the message in The Gam-bler, a remake of a 1970s flick about, you guessed it, a guy with a gambling addiction.

Jim Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) has a problem, a problem that becomes even more severe when he loses $240,000 while playing blackjack at an underground casino. Jim, a literature professor with the all-or-nothing world view demonstrates his all-in personality during a lecture, where he tells nearly his entire class that they’ll never make it as writers. The lone exception is Amy (Brie Lar-son), whom Jim identifies as a prodigy.

Jim has just a week to pay back his massive debt. He tries to buy himself some extra time by going to Frank (John Goodman), a big money loan shark, but he backs down when Frank stipulates that he has to admit he isn’t a man.

He ends up borrowing the cash from his moth-er, but instead of paying off his debt he brings it to the casino. His spiral continues.

The Gambler tries really hard to be sharp and intellectual. It mostly fails.

In a film that’s really about an addict, there are long winded discussions about life philoso-phies and world views that feel exceptionally con-trived and rather forced. There is little character development here outside of the main character and it’s extremely difficult to care about him as he continually throws his money away at the tables.

Wahlberg is guilty of over-acting at times, and I felt that his performance was entirely unexcep-tional. Not bad, but certainly not good either.

I haven’t seen the original, but this feels like a movie that didn’t really need a remake. The down in the dumps gambler is not exactly an original plot device. Why rehash it now?

This is a mostly uninspiring film and one that can be skipped.

The Gambler is worth 4 mouse clicks out of 10.

There is precious little to get excited about in The Gambler, starring Mark Wahlberg. Paramount Pictures

Music always played a big role in Andrea Superstein’s life, but it wasn’t until she moved to Vancouver that she jumped fully into a career in the arts.

Having grown up in Montreal, Super-stein says that she was always exposed to arts and culture.

“I kind of discov-ered my voice when I was young…being in Montreal which is so culturally rich. All the different kinds of music and the qual-ity of music certain-ly influenced me,” Superstein said.

Superstein will release her second album later this month on Nov. 13. What Goes On is a col-laboration with Juno Award-winning pro-ducer Les Cooper and involves some inter-esting takes on jazz standards as well as Superstein’s own ori-ginals.

Superstein plays what she calls a quirky brand of jazz which includes elements of “trip hop,” an experi-mental electronic genre that emerged out of London in the 1990s.

“I listened to it a lot around that time. I never really con-sidered myself as an

urban artist but those ideas just sort of came out in the sessions when we were work-ing on this record…it wasn’t intentional it

just sort of happened organically,” she said.

As for her music’s quirkiness, Super-stein believes it isn’t necessarily obvious,

but that it’s a subtle theme that runs through a lot of her tunes.

“I think it’s also very similar to my person-ality. I think that’s what I like about the record a lot. I think it’s really reflective of who I am without try-ing too hard.”

Before launch-ing her music career, Superstein worked in international development, giving her an opportunity to travel extensively. Lately, her vast experi-ence overseas has started to show itself in her music as she already begins to write new material for her next album.

“I think that maybe has something to do with recently becom-ing a parent and my perspective on life has changed a little bit,” she said.

“A lot of the experi-ences I’ve had abroad are sort of now resurfacing.”

Superstein will be entertaining an audi-ence at Dave and Ruth Ratzlaff’s residence on Nov. 15. While she doesn’t perform a lot of house concerts, Superstein says she relishes the oppor-tunity to play at small-er, more intimate venues.

“For me, a huge part of performing is being able to have a really deep rapport with the audience…it’s really important to connect with people,” Superstein said.

“It’s like a cool reciprocal relation-ship. I feed off the audience’s energy as well.”

Superstein will be joined by Mary Ancheta on piano, Niko Friesen on drums and Rene Worst on bass.

Tickets are by dona-tion ($25 suggestion) and reservations can be made by calling Jeff Moss or Polly Wilson at 250-348-2229.

With Halloween having come and gone, it’s appropriate to reflect that the

first two months of the season have been downright scary for the Golden Rockets.

There’s no other way to put it for a team that’s played 18 games without a win.

As the calendar turned to November, the Rockets finished October the way they played throughout much of the month: strong at times, with periodic lapses that cost them dearly.

On Friday night the club was in Grand Forks to take on the Border Bruins, a team that had won just five games all sea-son.

The Bruins had the better start, snatch-ing a 2-0 lead with a pair of quick goals in the first period. Terix Fischer-Kobes nar-rowed the gap for Golden a few minutes later with a power play goal and the Sas-katchewan product tallied his ninth of the season early in the second to square things at two goals apiece.

The teams played an even period - with the Rockets holding a 13-9 shot advantage - until the last few minutes when the Bruins opened the flood-gates. Three goals in a minute and 27 seconds changed the game’s outlook for Golden, sending them reeling into the dressing room with a stunning three-goal deficit.

An early Tanner Wit goal might have provided a spark for the Rockets, but Bruins forward Chad Grambo put an end to those thoughts with a goal just over five minutes into the period. He put

a capper on the game with another late in regulation and the Border Bruins had themselves a tidy 7-3 victory.

The Rockets hoped to have better luck a night later south of the border against the Spokane Braves, but that game also ended in disappointment because of a costly lull in the Rockets’ efforts.

Trailing 2-0, Travis Kelley scored mid-way through the second to give Gold-en some life. Brennan Grocock then notched a game-tying power play goal just over six minutes into the third. The tie was short lived, as Garrett Graham tal-lied a pair of goals for Spokane and his teammate Connor McIntosh put the game out of reach with a goal of his own, all within a nine-minute span.

Kyran Karol scored late in the period but it was far too little and far too late for the visitors. Spokane added an empty netter for a 6-3 final.

The Rockets had their chances - both teams tallied 48 shots - but that’s of little consolation for a club that is distancing itself from the rest of the pack on a week-ly basis.

Golden will have a home and home set against the Creston Valley Thunder Cats this weekend, with Saturday’s game slated to take place in Golden.

The following article, written by Kerry McLean for 2000 Gold-en Memories, will appear in two parts. Heartfelt thanks to Kerry for a job well done.

Part 1The first duty

that the Force performed in British Colum-bia was that of protecting Canadian Pacific Railway property and interests during the construction of the railway in 1884, 1885, and 1886. Under the command of Inspect-or Sam Steele, a small party of police kept in check the lawless elements of that time. Until June 1885, Steele’s Headquarters, consisting of a force of eight men, was at Golden.

In 1884 a man named Baird was mur-dered near Golden and was robbed of over $4,000. Baird was murdered 29 miles from the line of the railway, thus being outside the limit of police jurisdiction which was 28 miles on each side of the track.

In the summer of 1885, as construction of the railway proceeded westwards, the NWMP Headquarters in B.C. was moved to Beaver Creek and Golden was left with a detachment of three men and one horse.

On New Year’s Eve, 1885, Cst. William Ross died while on duty. He and Cst. Ernest

L. Percival set out to walk from Golden City to Third Siding – a CPR installation west of town. Constable Percival arrived at the Third Siding at 2:30 a.m. and reported that Cst. Ross had not been able to walk any longer and was approximately five miles from the Third Siding. Cst. Percival built a fire for Cst Ross prior to leaving him.

A search party found Constable Ross badly frozen and barely alive. He died a short time later. Cst. Ross was originally buried in the pioneer cemetery in Gold-en; however, his remains were moved to another location in Golden in 1954 when they were located by Cst. White. Cst. Ross’ grave marker was moved to the Cal-gary Heritage Park in 1964. Cst Ross was engaged with the NWMP on April 12, 1882 in Toronto, Ontario.

In late 1886, the NWMP were withdrawn from B.C.

In June, 1887, Superintendent Steele and “D” Division at Fort MacLeod were again sent to the Kootenay District of B.C. to restore peace between the natives and settlers of that region. At the time, there were two divisions located at Fort Mac-Leod – “D” and “H” Divisions. Prior to leav-ing for the Golden area, men were hired, discharged and transferred between the two divisions, so names of all the men who came to this area are not known. The Div-ision arrived at Golden on June 28 and pitched camp on the left bank of the Kick-ing Horse River, the camp being connect-ed to the town by a wooden bridge.

Shortly after the arrival of the Division

at Golden, the steamer “Duchess,” navi-gating the Columbia Lakes, was hired by the police to ship supplies to the Koote-nay; however, the boat capsized and very lit-tle was recovered. Steele engaged another small steamer belonging to J.C. Hayes, a merchant in Golden, at the usual rates of freight, viz., one dollar per hundred.

During the remainder of the Division’s stay in Golden, Steele employed the men and teams in hauling stores to the land-ing, getting the new saddles put togeth-

er and oiled, branding and numbering the remounts, and various other duties in preparation for the trip to the Kootenay.

On the morning of July 17, the Division headed for the Kootenay. Staff Sergeants Pane and Mercer and eight constables, most of whom were sick, were left behind in Golden. During the Division’s 12-month stay in the Kootenay, Golden continued to be the shipping point for supplies to the police post in the Kootenay.

Continued next week.

Let’s talk about Money for Life.

Brighter solutions to meet your goals

Life’s brighter under the sun

Jim YihBrighterLife.ca

For most people, an RRSP is a way to save for retirement and pay less income tax. Check out some of the other ways you can use your RRSP to achieve your financial goals:

1. Buy your first homeOne of the great features of RRSPs

is the ability they give first-time home buyers to co-ordinate their RRSP strat-egy with their home purchase. Under the Home Buyers’ Plan, you and your spouse can essentially each borrow up to $25,000 from your RRSP to buy your first home.

When you borrow money from your RRSP under the Home Buyers’ Plan, you must pay the money back over a 15-year period. If you miss a payment, you must pay tax on that amount. You would also miss out on 15 years of tax-sheltered growth on that $25,000.

2. Go back to schoolAn RRSP can also be used to fund you

or your spouse’s education under the Lifelong Learning Plan. Similar to the

Home Buyer’s Plan, any withdrawals for the purpose of training or education are tax free, provided you use the govern-ment form RC96.

You must repay your RRSP over a per-iod of no more than 10 years. If you miss an annual payment, that amount will be added to your income for that year and thus be taxed at your tax rate. And again, you would miss out on the tax-sheltered growth that the money would have earned if left in the plan.

3. Split your income with your spouseSplitting income between yourself

and your spouse is a great way to reduce taxes. There are two ways to accomplish this using an RRSP.

You can contribute to a spousal RRSP. Jack has an annual RRSP limit of $10,000. He can contribute that either to his per-sonal RRSP or to that of his wife, Jenna (who has a significantly lower income). If he contributes to Jenna’s RRSP, he will get the tax deduction at a higher rate than Jenna would by contributing to her own. Then they take the money out in retirement, they can each withdraw from their own RRSPs, resulting in less

tax owing overall than if Jack was to claim the full amount at his higher rate.

4. Reduce tax deductions at sourceMany people who contribute to RRSPs

either throughout the year or right before the deadline wait until they file their tax returns to claim their RRSP tax deductions and get their refunds.

Although getting that refund feels pretty good, what you’re actually doing is giving the government an interest-free loan with your hard-earned money. That’s pretty generous of you.

To avoid that, you can contribute via payroll deduction to a workplace plan (if your employer offers one), and the necessary adjustments to the tax deducted will be made at source. The tax refund is effectively spread out over the whole year and the tax savings is available sooner.

Whether you use any of these tactics to leverage your RRSP, or simply stick to sav-ing for your retirement, the key to suc-cess is to get started now, and make sav-ing a habit.

A unique feature of Golden is there are seven Christian churches within five blocks of each other. This has occasion-ally prompted the questions, “Why so many?” or “Why not join together?” I think the answer is not because there is a lack of unity in the faith, but rather because there is a variety in the expression of faith.

Some variations can be found in the style of church service preferred, from formal readings to informal conversation. The style of music and type of songs may also determine one’s choice of church attendance. Family connections or history can also be a factor.

If one was to look at what any Christian church believes, they would find that the main tenants of faith are very similar, and most being the same. There may be some variations in empha-sis or expression, but the statements of beliefs would be more similar than they are different.

The challenge for any Christian community (and even in post-election Canada) then is how to navigate the tension between unity in the Spirit and diversity in the Spirit, between agreement and disagreement. Remembering that at the end of the day, each Christ follower is a member of the church uni-versal, no matter what their affiliation.

“Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” (1 Corinthians 12:27)

So we navigate the differences with love and acceptance, also considering the interest of others. (Philippians 2:4b)

The existence of the seven churches in close proximity,

together with the other churches in the area, is evidence of the divers-ity within the Christian community. There is unity in this diversity. The unity in the faith comes from faith in Christ.

The ability for this unity to func-tion within the diversity requires us to believe in the whole church, the body of Christ, even those who may see things from a different approach. We do this because it is Jesus Christ who is at the centre of it all. He is the originator and perfecter of our faith.

As members of the church uni-versal, the body of Christ, we will “Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.  There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;  one Lord, one faith, one baptism;  one God and Fath-er of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians 4:2-6)

So on any given weekend when the churches of Golden meet for their respective services, they do so in unity of faith and with a diversity of expression. “The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all God’s people” (Revelations 22:21)

Phyllis Greta Short (Corfe)

February 28, 1930 – October 22, 2015

Phyllis passed away peacefully in Calgary, Alberta at the age of 85. She is predeceased by Roy, her loving husband of 64 years.Phyllis was born in Oshawa, Ontario. She moved west with her family, settling in Langley, B.C. where she graduated high school. She was an astute business woman, holding various office positions. After marriage to Roy, she joined him in several business and farming operations. They relocated to the Shuswap Lake region where they raised their family. Phyllis was a remarkable seamstress and was able to outfit her six children in the latest fashions. She was very competent at everything she undertook, never daunted by any challenge. Some would say she was stubborn! She and her husband owned and operated MacLeods hardware stores in Chase and Golden, B.C. as well as the Golden Mohawk service station. Her career then veered to the Golden School District where she was a school secretary and then later administrative assistant to the Superintendent of Schools until her retirement.Phyllis was an avid gardener. She enjoyed her beautiful yards everywhere she lived. Family was important and she loved nothing more than having all her children home for the holidays or special occasions. She always encouraged her children and grandchildren to strive for success in life and was very proud of their achievements.She is missed dearly and lovingly remembered by her children: Steve (Gail) Short, Cheryl Clark, Cindy (Gord) Boettger, Kari (Les) Orme, Brian (Sonja) Short and Bob (Kiri) Short; and lives on in the hearts and lives of her 17 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.Respectfully, a private celebration of Phyllis’s life will be held at a later date.

Ormond Jack BraisherAugust 16, 1920 - October 25, 2015

Ormond Jack Braisher, a well-respected and loved pioneer of the Columbia Valley, passed away peacefully on October 25, 2015 with family by his side. Orm was born on August 16, 1920 on Kingsclere Ranch to Alfred and Edith Braisher. Orm was predeceased by his wife Kay, his brother Sid Sylvester and his 3 sisters Jessie Thorseth, Ethel Braisher and Phyllis Ricard. He is survived by his sons Dugan (Kathy), John (Joyce), Bob (Carol), his daughter Alice (Brian) Dahlberg, 10 grandchildren, 14 great grandchildren, 3 nieces, 8 nephews and many friends, all of whom he cherished.

Orm was raised on the farm where hard work was a fact of life. When he became a young adult he worked fighting forest fires, working in the mill and logging for Tom Alton at Parson as well as harvesting in Alberta in the fall. From the 1940’s to 1972 he operated the family ranch which consisted of dairy cattle until 1970 and then beef cattle to the present day. Orm was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in his 40’s, but this did not hold him back and he continued to persevere on the farm. After his son, Joe (John), took over the operation in 1972, Orm helped on the ranch with haying, feeding cattle and other odd jobs until 2008 when, at the age 88, he moved to Mountain View Assisted Living in Golden. The move was necessary for Orm, but he adjusted well as he was a very social man and enjoyed visiting with the other residents, staff and any visitors he or the residents had. He was known for his gentleness, kind heart, quick wit and sense of humour. Orm was always very grateful to the staff of Mountain View Assisted Living, The Golden Hospital and Durand Manor for their kindness, compassion and excellent care that he enjoyed. He said many times “ it just couldn’t be better”. The Braisher family is so thankful that we have facilities and staff like we have in Golden. We agree, “ it just couldn’t be better”.

A service was held at the Senior’s Centre on Saturday, October 31st at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Durand Manor or the Golden Hospital.

Online condolences may be sent through Ormond’s obituary at www.hindmanbowersfuneralhome.com

Ettie Lavina Pedley passed away peacefully surrounded by loving family on October 28th, 2015, in Durand Manor at the age of 94.
