The Okanagan Regional Library (ORL), with a location here in Golden, has seen a significant increase in the facility’s electronic circulation.

The organization’s new executive director, Stephanie Hall, came to Golden to give a pres-entation on the library’s figures and services to Town Council.

“By being part of a regional library, your cit-izens have access to 3/4 of a million physical items. That’s a much larger collection than you could expect to have if you were an independ-

ent branch. There’s also a robust array of e-col-lections, and support team of professional staff,” said Hall.

The Golden branch has seen some great increases over the past year. The physical circu-lation has gone up by just under one per cent (even though the region has seen a decrease of just over three per cent), and the e-circulation has gone up by roughly 200 per cent.

E-circulation includes electronic books, maga-zines, movies, music, and audio books, which are gaining in popularity.

“You had some good increases in your sum-mer reading program as well, which is great. All

of your programs in general have increased in attendance,” said Hall.

Literacy is very important to the community, according to Hall, and ORL is glad to be provid-ing services that support family literacy.

“When people read throughout their lifespan, there’s some benefits that come along with that.”

When parents read to their children, from birth to age six, it gives a “leg up” when they attend school, having countless hours of pre-reading. As adults, people with strong literacy skills do better in the job market, make more money, and have an easier time transitioning from job to job.

We all know Cst. Mike Hull as a proud law enforcement official and Cops for Kids com-munity liaison but this September he’s got a new partner in crime. Cst. Amber Brun-ner will join the Cops for Kids Ride team to embark on a challenge of a different kind.

The Cops for Kids Ride Team and will leave Kelowna on Friday Sept. 6 on a 10-day, 1,000-kilometre cycling journey across south eastern British Columbia. The annual Cops for Kids Ride raises funds and aware-ness for children in medical, physical and traumatic crisis in our region, for the fund-ing of medical equipment, therapies, travel to Children’s Hospital, learning and mobil-ity aids.

Since 2001, Cops for Kids have raised more than $2 million in support of local chil-dren. In the past three years approximate-ly $26,000 has been given back to the Town of Golden, including 10 children dealing with a variety of challenges (providing them with colour printers and laminators, Sound-field FM hearing assistance devices, sever-al iPads, products to assist with mobility, and travel costs associated with medical appoint-ments).

“Last year we were honoured to assist the hospital by providing $11,500 in funding towards a new pediatric crib,” said Hull.

During the 10-day ride, Cops for Kids rid-ers will cycle into 18 different commun-ities across South Eastern British Colum-bia, where they will have the opportunity to meet many of the children who benefit

from this event. Meeting these Little Ambas-sadors will remind each rider of the chal-lenges that they face each day, and it will keep them focused to help better the lives of these children.

“I’m excited to take on this challenge again this year for my third year, and to have Amber join this important cause. It’s an honour to be a part of such an event that helps children in our communities,” said Hull. “Many of these items aren’t covered by our health care, or other support agencies. Cops for Kids can help to provide these crucial funds to assist local children as a direct result of the success of this event.”

“I’ve known about the Cops for Kids Ride for a while, but I’m glad that this year I’m able to join Mike as a team member from Gold-en after I’ve seen what a difference the funds have made for local children,” added Brun-ner.

As a part of the 2013 Cops for Kids Ride, the team will be arriving in Golden on Thursday Sept. 12 at approximately 1:30 p.m. at Sobey’s where they will be doing some community presentations to local children. Lunch for the riders has been donated by the Fire Pit.

Several local businesses have been a tre-mendous help to the Cops for Kids riders, including: College of the Rockies, Rotary, the Golden Rockets, Lions’ Club, Selkirk Sports, Sobey’s, Overwaitea, the Fire Pit BBQ Smokehouse, Little Chimps Pre-school, Canadian Pacific, Mountain Magic Quilter’s Guild, The Winston, The Legion, Kat Hatford Photography, the Jungle Room, and all the generous indi-vidual donations.

Child Restraint in TaxisI haven’t been a grandpa for long, but little children are suddenly interesting for me again. They seem to catch my attention more easily and this was the case a few days ago while I was driving in Nanaimo. The little boy involved was sitting on his mother’s lap while they rode in the back seat of a taxi.I couldn’t see below his shoulders but he was either unrestrained or worse still, belted into the lap belt with his mother. She was belted in, evidenced by the shoulder belt across her torso. Why wasn’t he in a seatbelt or child restraint? Even though he is exempted from having to use child restraint or a seatbelt while riding in a taxi it would still be smart to do so.I contacted the taxi services and asked if they had a child restraint that I could use if I brought a small child along on a taxi ride. No, we don’t provide these was the response, but you are welcome to bring your own. I suspect that the company is concerned, and rightly so, about legal liability if they provided the restraint and something happened because of it.However I do feel strongly that the parent or caregiver should be prepared to provide their own restraint. If not, then the child should at least be secured with a lap belt. Never, ever, under any circumstances put a child in the seatbelt with you!The author is a retired constable with many years of traffi c law enforcement experience.

The Annual Resort Municipality Initia-tive Report is in, and Golden has some great progress to

detail.The past five years

have been a “whirl-wind of activity,” and now in the calmer per-iod, the fruits of these labours are starting to show.

“Continuing evi-dence of the value of projects completed in the original five-year period became evident in the statis-tics associated with the use of facilities

and amenities in the community provid-ed by their managing organizations,” reads the report.

This is most evident through the increas-ing popularity of the Golden Civic Centre, managed by Kicking Horse Culture.

“The Civic Centre’s use has increased immensely; wed-ding bookings from Alberta are up 300 per cent since its renovation… This alone has created an increased awareness of this community.”

The community’s Spirit Square, a for-mer RMI project, has also seen a substan-tial increase in usage, including two wed-dings, and a jump in attendance at the summer concert ser-ies from 300 in 2006, to 3,600 in 2012.

Tourism has been a bit stagnant the past several years, as has much of the econ-

omy, but according to the report, 2012 “marks a definitive turn around for the tourism sector in the community… visitor supported sectors began to see increas-es for the first time in several years.”

The accommo-dation sector saw its highest revenue since 2008, although

still lower than their revenues in 2006, their base year. The number of business licenses in the tour-ism sector has gone up 29 per cent since the base year, for a total of 126.

The Visitor Centre saw a notable increase as well. In 2012 their visits averaged at 17.9 per hour, 52,000 over-

all, which is a nine per cent increase from the previous year and a nine per cent increase from the base year.

The report con-cluded, “The bene-fits of RMI program accomplishments are not always immedi-ately apparent, but are revealed through time.”

Black PressStaff Reporter

ICBC has applied for a 4.9 per cent rate increase to its basic vehicle insurance rates to take effect Nov. 1.

For an average driver who now pays $1,369 a year for basic insurance, the increase would add an extra $36. In its rate application to the B.C. Utilities Com-mission, ICBC is also seeking four per cent decrease in optional coverage that would reduce that annual bill by $25.

The last rate increase was 11 per cent in 2012, coupled with a six per cent cut in optional insurance where ICBC com-petes with private insurers.

In an open letter to customers, Mark Blu-cher, interim CEO of ICBC, says the increase is needed to keep up with increas-ing bodily injury claims, with high-

er payouts as more people turn to lawyers to dispute their insur-ance payouts.

Blucher said injury claim volume is also rising, includ-ing crashes involv-ing drivers distracted by smartphones, and more pedestrians and cyclists on roads.

ICBC cut 260 pos-itions last year after an audit of its operations showed its man-agement ranks had swelled by 41 per cent between 2007 and 2011. Blucher said ICBC’s administrative costs amount to five cents out of every pre-mium dollar, with 86

cents going to claim payouts.

Bodily injury claims, for pain and suffering, future care and loss of wages, totalled $1.9 billion in 2012, up $165 mil-lion from the previ-ous year and $400 mil-lion higher than five years previously.

Private Water Well Survey Golden Groundwater Protection Study

The integrity of our aquifer below us that provides our drinking water is critical. If you have or know of a private well in town we need to assess it to ensure we know its location and that it poses no risk to our collective water source. On the week of September 16th, owners of known private wells registered on the BC Water Atlas database will be contacted so we can carry out these assessments. If you are such an owner, we’d appreciate you being available that week to help us in this project.

Representatives from Golder Associates Ltd. will be conducting the door to door surveys on the week of September 16th of registered well owners to obtain information not already in the provincial water well database. Please call 403-299-5600 for more information and to help us with this important study.

Skateboarders and bikers from all over town are prepar-ing for the 7th annual Gold-en Stompdown at the Golden Freeride Park.

The event will take place on Saturday, Sept. 14 with regis-tration starting at noon and the competition beginning at 2 p.m. The Town of Golden has provided organizer Jessie Oat-way with $350 in funding for the event this year and many prizes have been donated from local stores, including T-shirts from Off the Wall that will be sold with proceeds going towards next year’s event. Live music will be provided by DJ Wakcutt and food donations were made by Overwaitea.

Oatway won the competition in its first year and has seen the event grow since then.

“It was pretty awkward the first few years trying to get prize donations…now they just know as soon as I come in,” said Oat-way.

In recent years the Stomp-

down has drawn in about 40 competitors with a couple hun-dred spectators there to cheer on the participants. Boarders and bikers will compete against competitors of similar skill lev-els and all ages and abilities are welcome.

“If the scooter kids come, I’m more than willing to open up a category for them too,” said Oatway.

While Oatway doesn’t com-pete anymore, he has enjoyed seeing how good some of the local kids have gotten over the years.

“It’s good to see these kids. They are getting so good it’s mental,” said Oatway.

This year, Oatway predicts a showdown between Ben Homer, the two time defending champion, and former win-ner Byron Mott, who is making the trip back to Golden from his home in Red Deer. Despite the fact that it is a competition, Oatway says the event is most-ly just for fun, and he has let young kids with training wheels on their bikes compete in the past.

“This is more of a free ride event, no one really cares who

wins or loses, they just want to be in it with their friends.”

For more information, con-tact Oatway at 250-272-0146.

The 6th Annual Golden Triangle Memorial Poker Run will take place this Saturday, Sept. 7.

The motorcycle tour will start at Omega Bar and Grill in Golden and will take riders to Lake Louise, Radium and Parson before fin-ishing at Omega for food, drinks and addi-tional prizes. Partici-pants will receive a poker card at five dif-ferent locations and

the best five-card pok-er hand at the end of the ride will take home half of the prize pool. The other half of the proceeds will be donated to locals in the community in need.

Bryan Englehart organized the first three events until he passed away. This year his son, Andrew, is organizing it and hopes to have 40-50 bikers, with goals to make the event bigger in the future.

“Next year we’re looking at getting some bigger sponsors and having a band and making it more of a festival or a party,” said Andrew.

Bryan started the poker run as a way to bring bikers in the community together and Andrew is hoping to continue that trad-ition.

“I just want to keep going in memory of him and raise some money for some-thing.”

In the end, Andrew

stresses that it’s all about having fun.

“It’s all about just having some fun and sharing some fellow-ship…and raising some money for [a good cause]”

Registration is $20 and will take place at Omega between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. on Saturday. For more information, contact Andrew at 250-344-6624.

Shots reportedly fired near Golden Donald Upper Road

The RCMP investigated a call about the sound of gun-shots near Golden Donald Upper Road. The shots were heard on Aug. 23 around 1 p.m. and reportedly sound-ed like multiple firearms. RCMP could not determine the source of the shots and have closed the investiga-tion.

Theft at Cedar Lake

Cash and camping supplies were stolen from an unlocked van at the Cedar Lake campground. The owners of the van came back to discover the theft.

Greyhound Disturbance

An intoxicated passenger on a Greyhound bus was arrested in Golden in the early hours of Aug. 24. The man

had removed his pants and was causing a disturbance on the bus. He was apprehended by police and incarcerated for the night.

Fourteen people fighting in Spirit Square

Police were called to investigate a fight at Spirit Square at 2:30 a.m. on Aug. 24. By the time the RCMP got to the scene, only two females were still fighting. One woman was taken into custody for the night and released in the mor-ning.

Vandalism at Keith King Park

On the evening of the Aug. 28 a car got into Keith King Park and was tearing up the turf. A large amount of grass was found by police underneath the suspects’ car.

A woman was allegedly driving at the time along with a male passenger. The suspects’ had switched drivers by the time police were on the scene, but the woman admitted that she was the driver during the incident on

the field. The man had his license suspended for driv-ing under the influence of marijuana.

Impaired driving on Highway 1

On Aug. 29 a stationary mini-van was found by passing motorists at the brake check at the Field hill. A passed-out male was in the driver’s seat.

The man eventually took off and was followed by motorists. He pulled over at another stop and was inter-cepted by police.

He was given a breathalyzer test back at the local detachment and blew 0.26, which is more than three times the legal limit. The man has multiple convic-tions for impaired driving on his record and had been living out of his van.

If anyone has information on these, or any other crimes in the area, they are asked to call the Golden/Field RCMP Detachment at 250-344-2221, or contact Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.bccrimestoppers.com.

We have finally arrived at many par-ents’ favourite week of the year — back to school.

After a long sum-mer of bustling activ-ity (or lack of activity depending on the stu-dent) it is time get back into a routine.

Organized sports will be back in full swing, as will various other rec-reational activities.

One fall trend I hope does not make a comeback this September is bullying.

I won’t bore you with the statistics, or the stories of tragedies like that of Amanda Todd, as they have become all to familiar to all of us.

But I will say that bullying is not exclusive to larger cities, and it is certainly not exclusive to youth.

A culture of bullying has swept the entire world, and adults are just as culpable as their children.

I have heard too many stories of students being bullied at both the high school, and the elementary school. And I witnessed first hand some of the bullying that took place in this community just one year ago.

The fall of 2012 was a very tumultuous time for Golden politically, and some people in this town let themselves get caught up in it, and bully those who stood on the other side of an issue — one issue in particular.

For those of you who are new to Golden, the municipality had a proposed project to enhance the area along the river, between the town’s two bridges, as well as upgrade the dike.

The issue sharply divided the community, and caused a whirlwind of unfortunate behav-iour.

How can we expect children to treat each other with the upmost respect, when the example many of us are setting for them is the exact opposite.

Things, thankfully, have calmed down in Golden, and it is once again the friendly small town I moved to two years ago.

But that does not mean that things can’t flair up again. Tense situations always arise, and I am confident that the next time they do the discourse and debate will be nothing but respectful.

Then when students see that differences can be resolved without hurtful words or tactics, they will follow our lead.

Of course I don’t expect bullying to go away over night, especially in our schools. But every small step we take makes a difference.

Good Samaritan

To the editor,

So there I was sitting at the lights on 9th street when a car pulls up beside me with two young dudes in it .

They honk their horn and get me to roll down my passenger window and tell me I’m dragging my shop

vac hose. To which I say ah shoot (or something close), so I’m about to jump out when I look back and a young lady in a car behind me hops out, grabs the hose, throws it back into my truck, gives me a quick wave and jumps back in her car .

By now the light is green so I wave a thanks to her and we all take off, I didn’t have time to even think about

solving my problem and people I don’t know were right there to help! Thanks to all of you!

That’s why I live in Golden That’s why I never left!

From Jerry Leigan Golden B.C.

BC Hydro

Dear editor,

Our provincial gov-ernment is currently get-ting rid of BC Hydro by saddling it with debt, imploding the company, and giving it away to their corporate buddies. But how will these crooks try to get away with it? To fig-ure it out we need to study history.

Back in the 1960s B.C.’s premier decided that all B.C. families should have electricity. BC Hydro was created with taxpayer funds building massive dams to produce and dis-tribute power, selling the excess to world markets

for profit. B.C. families got cheap

power and the govern-ment made money to build roads, schools and hospitals. Government taxed less; businesses gained advantage; indus-try flourished.

Power to homes in rural B.C. meant less time spent on chores and more time living, work-ing, playing and learn-ing. Reliable heat, light and power meant the automation of cooking and cleaning, unlocking more time, liberating women from the house.

Computers and inter-net arrived and electricity connected B.C. to the rest of the world. But once it

was built and had become so valuable, corporations coveted the people’s wealth and funded a pol-itical party to help steal it.

In 2001, the ruling NDP party had made too many fiscal mistakes giving the corporately funded Lib-erals their chance.

By 2002 the new Lib-eral corporate govern-ment was already selling the idea of Independent Power Projects. The gov-ernment then forced BC Hydro to purchase power from these IPPs even though it wasn’t need-ed. Worse yet, at inflated rates: three times market value and 10 times what it cost to produce, bringing Hydro to its knees.

Now in 2013 Liberal MLA Bill Bennett is run-ning around complain-ing to media that BC Hydro is draining our economy. The very pol-iticians who broke BC Hydro are now offering us a choice: pay more for power or privatize.

If we lose BC Hydro we also lose the grid. This becomes more important when we actually become producers of power our-selves, with solar panels and wind turbines on our roofs.

If the grid remains the property of the people then people can trade power freely – true energy independence.

Do you agree with Justin Trudeau’s stance on the legalization of marijuana?

“I’m not sure, because if we make

marijuana legal, what else do we

make legal? It’s a slippery slope.”

“Sure, I think it’s okay. We might

as well tax it and make money off of it rather than continue slowing down the courts.”

Back-to-school can trigger anxiety and stress in some children but there are steps parents and caregivers can take to help.

“The start of the school year can be a really positive time, full of new opportunities for young people, but it can also be overwhelming for some,” said Dr. Connie Coniglio, BC Mental Health & Addiction Services. “If your child isn’t looking forward to school, they may be experiencing stress or anxiety. While some children and youth thrive on the back-to-school excitement, others may need a calming, reassuring environment to support them during this tran-sition.”

Anxiety—feeling worried, nervous, fearful—is normal from time to time in adults and children. It’s a problem if

your child seems to be anxious often when other children of the same age are typically not; it negatively affects their functioning and/or your family life; and if it doesn’t get better over time.

Signs and symptoms to watch for:- Attempts to remain at home or with caregiver- Refusal to attend school on certain days (field trips)- Refusal to eat in public- Refusal to use public bathrooms- Extreme shyness, avoiding social situations or events- Tantrums, crying, screaming- Constant worrying- Physical complaints with no medical explanation

(stomach aches, headaches, difficulty catching breath)- Seeking comfort/reassurance

Tips for parents and caregivers:- Provide regular routines – morning, school, home-

work, bedtime- Provide clear expectations, limits and consequences- Plan for transitions – getting to school, returning to

school after breaks- Help your child identify his or her feelings – nervous,

intimidated, shy- Pay attention to your child’s feelings- Ask your child if they have ideas or solutions for a par-

ticular concern- Show yourself identifying your own feelings, problem

solving and being brave- Remain calm when your child is anxious- Hold realistic expectations that are right for child’s age- Praise and reward even their small accomplishments

Learn how to watch for and reduce back to school anxiety

Give away the grid and we pay to use the sys-tem at best, or at worst we can’t share energy at all.

Corporate interests are already preparing for grid privatization. A massive solar farm is being built on Teck’s Sullivan mine property (in Kimberley) to take advantage of this com-ing change.

Currently, we the people own the power sys-tem through our elected officials so Teck tech-nically buys power from us.

If our elected officials give away our system then you will be buying power from Teck, or worse yet their buddies at the China Invest-ment Corporation.

The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Develop-ment is considering banning anonymous contributions in municipal elections.

The B.C. government is considering reforms to legis-lation that governs our every-third-year local elections. Details are expected in a white paper next month.

With local politics in some B.C. cities starting to emulate Vancouver’s party system and third-party campaigning, the time has come for voters to know who the would-be king-makers are.

Minister Coralee Oakes indicates that new legislation will require third-party advertisers to register and disclose their identity.

Time allowed for consultation will delay campaign spending limits for candidates, organizations and third-

party advertisers until the 2017 civic elections, but those changes are expected, too.

Oakes, who said she expects improved transparency and accountability, calls the reforms the greatest moderniza-tion of local government election legislation in nearly 20 years.

Changes would affect voting for municipal councils, school boards and regional districts.

Although the response from the NDP local government opposition critic is typically critical, the president of the Union of B.C. Municipalities is pleased by the proposals.

That’s no surprise considering the UBCM has been rec-ommending local election reform.

Vancouver-style civic politics saw the NPA, Vision, COPE and the Green Party collectively spent $5.2 million in the 2011 elections.

Vancouver’s major municipal parties spent more than $15 for each vote they got.

Changes to local elections being considered

The Golden Sound Festival, scheduled to happen this Sat-urday Sept. 7 at the Go Organ-ic Sports Ranch in Parson, is undergoing some changes to their format.

Organizers said that numer-ous things have fallen through in the past few days that have made the event impossible as it stands. Some key contract-ors were not able to participate in the festival and slower than expected ticket sales have also been an issue.

“Ticket sales from out of town were very strong with many people from all over west-ern Canada eager to come and enjoy the Festival. However, local tickets sales were lack-lustre, which was also a contrib-uting factor for the change of structure and presentation of the festival,” said festival direc-tor Jeremy Green.

Organizers are working with entertainment venues around Golden to present a simultan-eous music festival experience.

“We are still putting on a

wicked show for a lower cost,” said festival director Todd Menzies.

Tickets will now cost $30 for a multi-venue pass. Due to the change in structure, ticket holders have the option for a full refund. Those ticket hold-

ers who still wish to check out the festival will receive the dif-ference of cost at the venue.

Keep up to date with poten-tial news at www.thegoldenstar.net. or at the group’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/GoldenSoundFestival.

Golden Sound Festival moving ahead

Brickhouse, the R&B, soul and groove band from Vancouver will be opening up the Live Kicks season for Kicking Horse Culture with a show at the Golden Civic Centre on Sept. 20. Holly and Jon from Nelson will be opening up for them. Tickets are available at the Art Gallery of Golden.

Update from WildSafe BC: Wildlife sightings down in GoldenWildSafe BCSubmitted

This is Kyle Edworthy, the co-

ordinator for Wild-SafeBC here in Gold-en, and I would like to take a moment to update everyone

here in Golden about the wildlife situation in and around our community.

First of all, let me say that it has been a fantastic summer both here in Golden and across the prov-ince.

Wildlife sightings inside our commun-ity have been much lower than in previ-ous years, and many people here in Gold-en can give them-selves a pat on the back for the part they have done to ensure that our community is a WildSafeBC com-munity.

By not putting out garbage until the morning of col-lection or getting a head start on glean-ing those fruit trees, people here in town seem to be taking the issue of avoiding con-flict with wildlife ser-iously.

It is important to

not lose that momen-tum as we move into fall. September and October are trad-itionally the months in which we see the heaviest activity from bears and other wild-life.

There are a couple of reasons for this. First food becomes scarcer out in the wild, and as snow begins to fall on the peaks it will push the wildlife down into the lower areas where we live.

This means wildlife will be closer at hand in the river valleys and other low lying

areas that we humans also like to live in. Second our town can be full of many food sources for these ani-mals, be it garbage, fruit trees, or the smell of commercial cooking just to name a few.

If food is avail-able wildlife will take advantage of the situ-ation to put on a few extra pounds before winter sets in.

Finally, we have built our towns in areas that have been traditionally used as corridors for region-al wildlife.

Bears will use river-

banks as easy passage-ways in the fall, and those rivers also tend to be rich in food sources.

Of course Gold-en sits at the meet-ing point of the Kick-ing Horse and Col-umbia rivers, so there are numerous places where bears and other wildlife can enter our community with ease.

To prevent this we need to stay vigilant about managing our attractants. Make sure that garbage does not hit the curb-side until the mor-ning of collection.

Fruit needs to be picked off the trees when it is ripe, before the bears can get to it. Keep managing your compost bins and continue to feed your pets indoors so their food is not an attract-ant.

This year has been almost perfect up to now, let’s try to keep that going for another couple of months.

Final toonie bike race brings in 25 competitors at Kicking Horse

cupebcschools@CUPEbcschools

www.bcschools.cupe.ca


Duncan Anderson took first place in the final toonie bike race of the season at Kicking Horse Mountain Resort this past Saturday. A total of 25 competitors paid the two dollar admission fee for the race down one of the most popular runs on the mountain.

Super Berm gives riders a long, twisting combo of jumps and banked turns. This was the fifth, and best attended, race of the season. Most of the riders came from Calgary with just a few locals participat-ing.

Maxime Cretin, resort services man-ager at Kicking Horse, hopes to see increased participation, especially from Goldenites, going forward.

“It’s a cool event. It’s not really about racing, it’s more about being outside with your buddies and challenging them.”

Cretin would like to pair up with a local bike shop in an effort to increase both attendance and the prize pool for next season.

The top five racers and their times:

Golden Moments with Glenn Birnie Joel [email protected]

Glenn Birnie retired over 20 years ago but that doesn’t mean he has slowed down, not even a little bit.

“I can’t just sit around and do nothing,” he said.

The long-time hardware store owner keeps plenty busy with woodworking projects and gardening around the house, as well as num-erous activities in the community. Birnie also helps out his son David, owner of the Mistaya Lodge (located just north of Yoho National Park and west of the border), by transporting new guests up to the Blaeberry for their even-tual helicopter ride into the lodge.

Birnie moved out to B.C. from Wawota, Sask. in 1949 to cut Christmas trees and he never went back to the prairies. He eventually land-ed a job at Invermere Hardware in 1957. A few years later they decided to expand into Gold-en and chose Birnie to open and manage the store. That was in 1960 and Birnie has lived in Golden ever since.

The original hardware store was located downtown in the space now occupied by Moon Cafe. The Birnies lived in the back of the shop for their first couple of years in Golden before they got their own place. Eventually the store also outgrew this location and it moved further down 9th Avenue North, across from where Sobey’s is now. Birnie took a 50 per cent owner-ship in the store in 1972, which is also when the name changed from Glenn’s Hardware to Golden Hardware.

Birnie eventually bought out his partner to give himself 100 per cent ownership of the business. The store joined Home Hardware in 1981, but because the hardware giant is a dealer-owned business, Birnie maintained full ownership. His three children took over the store when Birnie retired in 1990 and ran it together for eight years before his two young-est, Sandra and David, decided to move on to other ventures and Douglas took the store over by himself.

Birnie has limited involvement with the store now, instead it is hobbies and community groups that keep him busy. One of his favour-ite places is his workshop, a large shed that he has behind his house where he builds bird-houses and picture frames. He often donates his work to the Eastern Star, where it is raffled away to raise funds for cancer research. Birnie, along with his wife Joanne, spend plenty of time in their backyard garden where they grow tomatoes, carrots and beans along with other assorted veggies and even a few pumpkins. Beyond that, Birnie enjoys curling and golf and attends Eastern Star, Masonic Lodge and Mountain Shrine Club meetings and events. Birnie and Joanne go to Hawaii once a year in October but he says he has no desire to escape south for the entire winter.

“There’s too many old people down there,” he said with a grin.

Birnie has seen his hardware store go from being a small shop downtown to a big box store at its current location on Highway 95. One con-stant, however, has been Birnie’s desire to keep busy and active, even in retirement.

BC Hydro wishes to advise the public that as of August 29th through to November a series of small controlled spills from Mica Dam may be initiated, and BC Hydro may increase the Kinbasket reservoir level above normal full pool by up to 0.3 metres (1 foot) between September and October this year. During this time, BC Hydro will continue to generate as much as possible from Mica Generating Station to discharge flows and maintain the reservoir level. However, Mica generation is currently limited to allow project work to upgrade and expand the facility.

CONTROLLED RELEASE OF WATER FROM MICA DAM

A controlled release of water (spill) is a typical operation for a hydro-electric facility where additional water is released through the dam spillway and outlet works to manage reservoir levels. For context, total downstream spill discharge is not expected to exceed that which would normally be released if the plant was at full generation. The spill will not affect operations at Revelstoke. BC Hydro will continue to operate Revelstoke Reservoir within its normal levels.

RAISING KINBASKET RESERVOIR LEVEL UP TO 0.3 METRES (1 foot) } ABOVE FULL POOL

To minimize a spill and maintain environmental balance, BC Hydro has also received permission from the Comptroller of Water Rights to increase the maximum allowable water level in the Kinbasket Reservoir by up to 0.3 metres (1 foot) above the full pool level of 754.38 metres (2,475 feet) to 754.68 metres (2,476 feet) between September 1 and October 30, 2013. Mica Dam is engineered to safely store this additional water and similar operations have occurred in prior years. These operations will manage Kinbasket Reservoir levels during the final phase of a planned Mica Generating Station capital upgrade outage and accommodate this year’s higher than normal water supply outlook for Kinbasket (104% of normal February to September inflows). The spill and higher reservoir level are not associated with short term flood risk management and no downstream impacts are anticipated.

- Turning Back the Pages -By Colleen Palumbo

A Chatuaqua was an annual event in Golden for many yearsChautauqua - Have

you ever heard the word? I have but when I went’ looking in the dictionary for it I couldn’t find it. Know-ing that for many years Golden held an annual Chatauqua, I set about finding information on it and its meaning. I found this bit of infor-mation on an Amer-ican website regarding

Chautauqua.“What was Chautau-

qua? Theodore Roos-evelt called it “the most American thing in America,” Wood-row Wilson described it during World War I as an ‘’integral part of the national defence,” and William Jennings Bryan deemed it a “potent human factor in moulding the mind

of the nation.”There are few Amer-

icans left who remem-ber the Circuit Chau-tauqua but there was a time when those words conjured up a host of images. To its support-ers it meant a chance for the community to gather for three to seven days to enjoy a course of lectures on a variety of subjects.

Audiences also saw classic plays and Broad-way hits and heard a variety of music from Metropolitan Opera stars to glee clubs to bell ringers. Most import-antly, the Circuit Chau-tauqua experience was “critical in stimulating thought and discus-sion on important pol-itical, social and cultur-al issues of the day.”

This helped but was certainly not local so I started going through the old newspapers and found that the first Chautauqua held in Golden was in 1919 - an event that became annual and as of yet I haven’t found the year that they quit but I did find this bit of infor-mation in the Gold-en Star dated October 13, 1922 that allows us a wee look at the old time festival.

“It is conceded that the Chautauqua is largely an education-al festival and this year the permission of G.E. Richards, principal of the high school, was obtained to permit the students to give an account of the pro-gramme. Following is the account submit-

ted: A week has passed since Miss Van der Voigt, the director of the Golden Chautau-qua, visited the schools and won the hearty co-operation of the younger set of Gold-en by telling them that school would close an hour earlier in the afternoons during the Chatauqua week. Since then Golden has been a busy town.

Every afternoon and evening, the best part of the citizens of Gold-en gathered at the Lyric hall and anxious-ly awaited the opening performance. In the afternoon there was a good crowd, but in the evening there was a better one, because the men were not at work.

The Chatauqua was very interesting this year and greatly enjoyed by all. Each of the entertaining bod-ies gave an excellent programme. The first day in the Newcomb Marks Mariner Com-pany, Guy Mariner, the New Zealand pian-ist, won the children’s favour. The second day was still better than the first. When Miss Epperson explained

how to make bird calls, one little boy in the audience attempted and succeeded in mak-ing a few of them. The Going-Epperson-Bell Company kindly con-sented to sing in the Anglican Church on Sunday, and everybody that heard them said “it was great”.

After Dr. Carpenter’s lecture we went away feeling very small as he talked about such big things.

The third day in the afternoon the Berk-ley Sextette preluded to D. Lee Fitzpatrick’s lecture, “The Power of Song.” He gave a very interesting lecture which was by no means dry, but it wouldn’t do for the boys to take up the means he and his chums employed to torment their teach-ers.”

This report goes on in length explaining each day of Chautau-qua which began Fri-day afternoon and ended with a dance on Tuesday night. Sounds like a great event!

A little aside - in 1922 Chautauqua’s finan-cial statement showed a considerable loss.

Chautauqua was held in the Lyric theatre, which was located where the Youth Center is today. It contained a large movie theatre, a public hall, a pool hall and a barber shop. The Lyric burned to the ground, along with two neighboring restaurants, the Loy and the Collins on April 22, 1931. Photo courtesy of the Golden Museum

Parky’s Heating & Cooling has been doing business in Golden since 1972 but that doesn’t mean that the com-pany has stopped looking for new growth opportunities.

Owner and operator Doug Parkinson admits that busi-ness has been slow the past two years because of falling real estate prices and layoffs at local businesses, but he has reason to be optimistic now and he believes things have bottomed out.

In an effort to grow the busi-ness going forward, the com-pany took over operations of Blaeberry Valley Plumbing this past spring.

Guy Steinborn owned and operated the plumbing com-pany and agreed to give over operations to Parky’s as he nears retirement.

Steinborn, however, will stay on for an undetermined length of time to help ease the transition. Parky’s bought all of Blaeberry Valley’s equip-ment and tools and took over the customer base as well.

Parkinson, son of founder Harold Parkinson, is hoping that the takeover will allow

the company to better serve its customers.

“It just really strengthens our ability to satisfy all of the customers’ needs. Heating and plumbing just sort of goes hand in hand,” said Parkin-son.

“Nobody else in town does all three, cooling, heating and plumbing. We’re qualified to do everything.”

Parkinson also believes that this will allow for the company to be more competitive with its pricing, which will give it a fur-ther edge over its competition.

According to Parkinson, adding plumbing will also keep Parky’s busy during the slower summer months when most Goldenites are willing to deal with a few hot weeks and aren’t yet thinking about heating for the winter.

Parky’s will have up to nine employees in the winter, including five tradesmen that are qualified to perform the company’s wide array of servi-ces.

The company’s website just recently went live and more information on their prod-ucts and services, as well as an interactive RV supply cata-logue, can be found at www.parkys.ca.

Black PressStaff Reporter

BC Hydro has cancelled or deferred four elec-tricity purchase contracts with independent power producers, and the total may reach 20 by the time a review of projects is complete, Energy Minister Bill Bennett said Thursday Aug. 29.

Bennett said the review is part of a broad-er effort by BC Hydro to meet his instruction to “spend less money,” as he leads an effort to reduce costs across all government operations.

BC Hydro proposed the move, identifying the 20 project proponents that were not meeting their contract obligations due to financing, regu-latory or other problems. That non-performance

gives BC Hydro legal authority to delay or termin-ate contracts.

The utility has contracts with 81 operating projects, mostly run-of-river hydroelectric, and another 47 are under construction or seeking permits after receiving purchase contracts.

BC Hydro released its latest draft resource plan last week, which estimates the province has enough electricity supply to meet growing demand for the next 10 years. Bennett said he is skeptical about that forecast, with population growth and industrial demand from new mines and natural gas development in northern B.C., but it gives the utility some breathing room.

“I’m a real fan of the clean energy industry, but obviously we don’t want to be agreeing to buy more power than what we need,” Bennett said.

BC Hydro has been criticized in recent years for running up billions in deferred debt, as it com-pletes major expansion and seismic upgrading of its network of dams. A new power line to northeast B.C. has run over budget, and the NDP oppos-ition has accused the government of forcing BC Hydro to buy private power at inflated rates through contracts running as long as 40 years.

Bennett said he has asked for a detailed analy-sis of the cost of private power compared to new sources such as the proposed Site C dam on the Peace River or adding turbines to BC Hydro dams on the Columbia River.

B.C.’s Clean Energy Act requires BC Hydro to be self-sufficient in electricity by 2016, based on an average rainfall year to replenish its hydro dams. The requirement is to minimize the import of power generated by burning coal or natural gas.

BC Hydro urged to reduce costs

Wildsight’s Invasive Weed Program is wrapping up another successful season. Co-ordinators Mir-anda McMurray and Ali Krahn have been busy this summer by removing over 100 truckloads of noxious weeds around the town of Golden, and have worked hard to keep burdock, knapweed, tansy, mullen and goatsbeard seeds from spread-

ing around the rotary trails and parks. Miranda and Ali would like to thank everyone

who came out for the Community Weed Pulls at the pedestrian bridge and rodeo grounds, and to Natalie Stafl from the Columbia Shuswap Invasive Species Society. And congratulations to Finlay Gustafson for being the grand prize winner of our Invasive Species Sticker Contest. Pick up one of Fin’s stickers at the farmer’s market. See you next summer!
