MP Wilks announces funding for Town, Sikh Society Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net Kootenay-Columbia MP David Wilks was in Golden early Friday afternoon to announce a pair of federal funding grants for the Town pf Golden and another for the Golden Sikh and Cultural Society. The first grant fell under the federal govern-
ment’s New Building Canada Plan and will be used to fund a nearly $1.4 million project for sewer system improvements. The upgrades will help to reduce energy consumption, increase system capacity and enhance treatment capabilities while reducing odour and greenhouse gas generation. “I’m very passionate about trying to get things for rural Canada and I also know that staff put in

Interior Health researching options for future rural lab services Jessica Schwitek editor@thegoldenstar.net Interior Health is starting a two-year process to create a sustainability strategy for their Lab Services to ensure that the health authority can keep up with the growing demand. A memo was circulated in July informing staff about the upcoming strategy. “The bottom line is that the way we’re doing business is not sustainable,” said Marty Woods, Interior Health’s Regional Director of Lab Services. “We’re seeing a consistent increase in the volume of demands, as well as a demand for more complex testing.” Another issue affecting the sustainability of the service is staffing. Right now 29 per cent of the lab staff are 55 or older, and within the next decade that number will increase by another 19 per cent.
“These numbers are not just in Golden, but are typical throughout the region,” said Woods. The engagement process for the study will begin in the fall when more staff are back from vacation and they can explore the best options for the future. There are several rural hospitals that may, or may not, be affected including Golden, Invermere and Revelstoke. “We’re going to look at each hospital and decide the best option. For Golden that may mean some changes, but it may not. We may look at Golden and decide that nothing should change,” said Woods. “There won’t be any cookie-cutter solutions that will be imposed on every community.” One possibility they will be looking into is centralizing the lab testing to Kelowna, where they can keep it fully staffed and operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Nothing will change in patient care in Golden, says Woods. All samples will continue to be taken at the local
Notice of Land Notice of Land Disposition Disposition What is proposed? The Town of Golden is selling 336m2 of its property on the northwestern corner of 5th Street South and Riverglen Drive to Donna Mendes-Frobb and Mark Frobb. The property is legally described as the western portion of Block A DL 16415 Kootenay District Except Part Included in Plan 18312 (PID: 008-217-378). The property was originally Crown granted to the Town by the Province for “park purpose” and therefore the Province will receive the $10,000 appraised market value. The Frobbs intend to amalgamate the small piece of surplus publicly owned land with their land at 509 - 5th Street South and as part of a two lot subdivision a walkway will be dedicated to provide connectivity with the Twin Rivers Apartments. It is felt this connectivity will have a higher park value, but the walkway will not be developed for ten years.

hospital as it is now. If more samples are being couriered to Kelowna there is the possibility that results may take longer. But given that lab staff will be working around the clock in Kelowna, depending on the day the sample is taken, results could actually come in faster, says Woods. “Some samples from Golden, as it is right now, are being taken to Cranbrook…if that same sample gets taken to Kelowna, say on the weekend, the result might come in faster than it would have if Cranbrook had to wait until Monday.” Golden’s location, and its relative isolation, will be taken into consideration before any decisions are made. “Change can be very alarming to some people, it introduces a lot of unknowns, and we completely understand that,” said Woods. “But patient care remains our top priority.”
WKBIA takes over brain injury contract Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net The end of July marked the official end of the East Kootenay Brain Injury Association, the organization that had been contracted by Interior Health to provide services for victims of brain injury in this region, Golden included. Interior Health has announced that the contract will now be fulfilled by the West Kootenay Brain Injury Association (WKBIA), an organization that has a long history with IH and has already been fulfilling services in Castlegar, Trail, Nelson and other communities in the West Kootenays. The switch was welcome news for Lori Seeley, the practice lead for community integrated health services with Interior Health. “They’ve got a long history of providing service in the Kootenays…we’re pretty thrilled that we have a provider who knows this business, knows these clients and what their needs are in a general kind of way,” Seeley said. “I think if we had a really new provider we’d have had a longer orientation period so we’re

quite pleased.” Under the new contact Golden will be paired with Revelstoke, with total hours of service being distributed between the two communities based on need. According to Seeley, the number of total direct service hours provided in the East Kootenays will increase to 2,882 hours from 2,784 under the new contract. She is also confident, given WKBIA’s long relationship with IH, that there will be a smooth transition between the organizations, limiting the amount of stress on patients. “They know us and we know them. We’ve got a working relationship in the West Kootenays with them that has been working quite well,” Seeley said, adding that IH had decided to provide some additional resources to WKBIA to facilitate the transition for the first three months of the new agreement. Interior Health typically signs one-year contracts with new organizations, but because of their familiarity with WKBIA, they were able to sign a three-year agreement. The contract officially began on Aug. 1.

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

Pool to receive large capital upgrade Continued from page 1 “This is core infrastructure at its best.” Construction is slated to begin next spring and will take an estimated two years. Under the agreement, all three levels of government will fund a share of the project, with the Town of Golden funding a third and the provincial and federal governments contributing the remaining two-thirds. The news was also positive for the Town’s recreation services department, as the federal government announced that Golden would receive up to $170,000 through the Canada 150 Infrastructure Program for upgrades to the swimming pool. “Our swimming pool is 40 years old and it requires a number of capital upgrades to keep it working…this is one of the greatest infrastructure upgrades for the pool that we’ve seen,” Wilsgard said. “In recent years the recreation team has put a big focus on gathering user feedback and addressing the community’s desire at the pool. This granting opportunity is the perfect way to improve the facility and make the pool a better place to recreate,” stated Jordan Petrovics, manager of recreation services.

This was Mittanck’s first year participating in the Willi but the American says he’ll definitely be back for another go next year, commending the event’s organizers for a fantastic week. His record-setting flight was just one of the highlights of an event that had many. This was the largest Muller event to date, and organizer Randy Parkin believes that it might be the largest such event ever hosted in Canada. On Saturday and Sunday, the Mt. Seven launch site was abuzz with activity, with dozens of paragliders and hang gliders queuing up, waiting for their turn to launch off the mountain on their way to destinations as close as Nicholson and as far away as Canal Flats, and in some cases, far beyond that. Next year, for the event’s 20 year anniversary, Parkin expects to have about 120 pilots, which is as much as they can reasonably host given the limited space at launch. Not bad for an event that started with just 10 pilots back in the 1990s. “We love Golden. We spend a lot of time here and if we can do something to get more business here and get people enjoying it…people show up and want to stay,” Parkin said.

The collision counter on the DriveSmartBC web site estimates 33 pedestrian deaths and 1374 pedestrian injury collisions in BC to July 29, 2015. I almost added to that number driving in Vancouver last weekend and the incident still has me shaking my head. I can’t believe that a pedestrian could be that stupid! I had stopped for a red light in the downtown area and intended to make a right turn. After the pedestrian signal went red and the people had crossed, I pulled across the marked crosswalk and stopped again where I could see cross traffic well. I found my gap and was about to proceed when I looked right and found a pedestrian right in front of me crossing against the light. He was busy with his cell phone and was wearing earbuds and never even looked at me as he walked around the car. He probably owes some of his good fortune to my wife who yelled and made sure that I hit the brakes before I drove over him. The courts say that we can expect to proceed as if other road users will obey the laws. What that really means is if I had hit this person, he would probably have been assessed most of the fault for the collision. However, he was there to be seen and I would have bourne some of the blame too. Thank goodness it never came to that! Police wrote only 210 tickets to pedestrians for failing to obey pedestrian signals in all of the province in 2014. It would appear that you have little risk of being called to account for this selfish behaviour. The author is a retired constable with many years of traffic law enforcement experience.

RCMP Report: Numerous collisions and a disturbance at Cedar Golden Star Staff reporter@thegoldenstar.net
It was once again a busy week for the Golden-Field RCMP as police were called to respond to over 120 files. “This is usually one of our busiest weeks during the year,” said Cst. Spencer Lainchbury, spokesperson for the Golden-Field RCMP. An increase in traffic for the long weekend saw police responding to 12 motor vehicle collisions, and dispatched 27 complaints of erratic or unsafe driving. Noise Complaint Police were called to Spirit Square just after bar close on July 27 after receiving a complaint from nearby residences that people were excessively screaming and hollering. “This is a common issue in the area,” said Cst. Lainchbury. “Bar patrons often forget that there are several residences on both sides of the pedestrian bridge with people who are trying to sleep.” Other issues noted by police, who are working on solutions with the town, in the area are open liquor, littering and public urination. String of Hit&Runs The Golden-Field RCMP is asking for anyone with information regarding several hit and runs in the area over the past couple weeks to contact them. Police received a report on July 27 after the owner of a travel trailer returned to the parking lot at Heather Mountain Lodge and observed significant damage to the rear passenger side. Collision with Building Police responded to a collision downtown on July 27 after it was reported that a vehicle had collided with an office building on 9th Avenue North. “The building sustained damage to both the interior and exterior walls as a result of the collision,” said Cst. Lainchbury. “It appears that the driver accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes while parked outside of the building.” No injuries were reported as a result of the crash and police do not expect to lay charges in the matter. Assault of Landlord A 28-year-old from Golden is scheduled to attend court on Oct. 7 after it was alleged
he assaulted his landlord on July 27. Police attended and were advised that the landlord had just evicted the male, who then assaulted him. The male was arrested and released on scene with documents requiring he appear in court and refrain from contact with the landlord. Gas and Run Police were called to a fight outside a local gas station during the evening of July 27 after the owner of the store confronted a customer who was not able to pay for his gas after refueling. Police quickly responded and the two were found separated waiting for police. The 31 year-old male from Alberta explained that he ran into some hard times with work, and had come to Golden for the Motion Notion music festival when he simply ran out of money. The male failed to get a sympathetic response from police after two empty dime bags with drug residue fell out of his wallet as he reached for ID. Police explained to him that if he was able to have money for drugs, he would be paying for his gas or meeting with the judge. The male was able to reach his mother who agreed to pay for the transaction and provided store owners with a credit card number. Assault of a Police Officer A 22 year-old female from Edmonton is facing charges of obstructing a police officer and assaulting a police officer after police responded to an impaired driving complaint on July 28. Police allege that the female refused to exit her vehicle after failing a roadside alcohol screening test and once out of the vehicle proceeded to kick one of the officers. The female is scheduled to attend court in Golden on Oct. 7 to answer to the two charges, and also received a 90 day driving suspension and 30 day vehicle impoundment under the Motor Vehicle Act for failing the two separate roadside screening tests. Squatters at Beaverfoot A group of Motion Notion festival goers overstayed their welcome at the Beaverfoot Lodge after refusing to leave the property once
the festival was finished on Monday. Police attended and spoke with the group who explained that they had paid for another night when the manager changed his mind and refunded them their money. The group was already packing their belongings when police arrived, and no further issues were reported. 911 is not a Taxi Service A 13 year-old female called 911 on July 29 stating that she was intoxicated downtown and needed a ride home. Police were able to locate the female who, given her age, was provided transportation by police and released to her mother. “Although in this instance a ride was provided, this is not something that would normally be accepted,” said Cst. Lainchbury. “911 is a phone number for emergencies, not taxi service.” Driver Located Police, Golden FireRescue, and BC Ambulance responded to a collision on Highway 95 during the early morning of July 29 after it was reported that a vehicle had been located rolled over in a ditch with unknown occupants. After a search of the area nobody was located. Police worked throughout the morning to locate the owner, who had left the scene and went to work in Golden. “We would ask that if you are involved in a collision and do not require police or medical assistance, you still contact us so that we don’t receive calls from concerned motorists who are passing by,” said Cst. Lainchbury. The 35 year-old male driver from Cranbrook was the only occupant and did not report any injuries. No charges are expected in relation to the incident. Man Held for Series of Infractions A 27 year-old male from Edgewater found himself in police custody after causing disturbances at both the Golden Hospital and courthouse on the afternoon of July 29. The male, who is known to police, was arrested for being intoxicated in public after it was reported that he was yelling and screaming at staff at the hospital followed by a second report that he
was causing a disturbance at the courthouse. The male was released the following morning when sober, however he found himself back in jail later that night after police were called to a break in at a residence on 10th Avenue South. The male was located inside the residence and subsequently arrested for break & enter and assault causing bodily harm, after it was alleged that him and another male forced themselves inside, attacking three males. “One of the individuals inside sustained extensive injuries as a result of the alleged attack and required medical attention,” advised Cst. Lainchbury. The other male, a 22 year-old from Golden, was arrested for break & enter, using a disguise, assault and breach of recognizance. Both males were brought before a Justice of the Peace for a bail hearing which resulted in the 27 year-old needing to post bail before being released, and the 22 year-old being held in custody until court on Aug. 11. “This appears to be an isolated, targeted incident that was retaliation for another alleged assault,” said Cst. Lainchbury. In yet another separate report police will also be forwarding theft charges against the 22 year-old male and investigating the other after a report was received that two males entered a liquor store and stole several bottles of liquor prior to the break and enter. The 22 year-old was known to staff and identified to police the following day. Threats Issued Over Debt Collection Police were called on July 29 after it was alleged that a male approached a female telling her that she would be harmed if her husband did not pay back monies owed to him. The complainant did not wish to proceed with charges in relation to the incident, however the accused was spoken with and apologized to police.

Town bustles over weekend
opinion
Wednesday, August 5, 2015 The Golden Star
Salute To Forest Firefighters
On Friday morning I drove up to the highway for a coffee, took a look at the sheer chaos up there... the bumper to bumper traffic, the excessive lineups at the drive-throughs, and the parking lots filled from edge to edge with vehicles... and I turned back around. - I SURMISE Golden was filled to By Jessica Schwitek the brim this weekend. It was quite possibly the busiest I have ever seen the town. Of course long weekends always draw quite a crowd, and the highways are always jam-packed as well. Add to that the fact that the weather was hot and sunny, and it’s no surprise that the hotels were filled right up. There could be two reasons why I feel like the town is getting busier and busier every season. 1) When I first moved here from a larger centre the community felt calm by comparison, and after a few years of settling into the slower pace of small town living, I am more sensitive to the occasional influx of tourists. Or 2) Tourism in Golden really is on the rise, and we are seeing more and more tourists pouring in every year. I am inclined to believe the latter is the more accurate explanation. As you can read on page 7 of this week’s Golden Star, Statistics Canada is already recording an increase in international visitors to British Columbia from last year. From January to May this year there was a 7.8 per cent increase in international visitors to B.C. over the same period last year. That represents an increase of more than 100,000 visitors in just five months. Real increases in visitation are quite possibly even higher than that, as these numbers only show the tourists entering Canada through a border. Domestic travel is harder to document. Golden’s piece of that pie may be small, but you can still feel the progress right here. I heard a local hotel owner say that every single room in town was booked this weekend, a phenomenon he hadn’t seen in Golden since the economic boom in the 1980s. B.C. invests roughly $90 million annually into tourism in the province. The number seems high, especially when we’re struggling to keep up with education, healthcare and infrastructure costs. But the returns on that investment are significant. In 2013 the tourism sector in B.C. employed roughly 132,200 people, and paid out about $4.5 billion in wages and salaries. That’s a major impact on the provincial economy, and an even bigger impact on our local economy.
To the editor, Kudos for the brave souls combatting the unrelentless and mercilessness destruction of lightning fires that has destroyed homes and landscapes across a few provinces. To the many who serve whether they are aerial pilots,
waterbombers, volunteers, firefighters or others; thank you for trying to suppress Mother Nature's fiery fury. Your invaluable service and efforts need to be acknowledged while you strive towards a goal to limit the destruction while protecting our communities. Bravo. Kerwin Maude
Area Report: What is Regional Government? Some of you have been asking how the regional government system works. Columbia Shuswap Regional District (CSRD) has 6 areas (A-F). Our Area “A” is the largest geographical area spanning 13 735 square km with a population of 3065 according to the 2011 census. The CSRD Board consists of 11 directors (five from member municipalities and six regional districts) and the chair is elected from the board. Regional districts throughout the province serve three key purposes: • They provide general purpose local government for unincorporated areas • They provide a framework for inter-governmental cooperation so that the municipality and the regional district can undertake services together and determine cost recovery • They serve to govern activities that are mandated by the province Some of the services the regional district provides are region wide such as 911 or area wide such as parks. Others are neighbourhood specific as in the Nicholson Fire Dept. Area A Report One of the challenges regional districts face is establishing services at the appropriate By Karen Cathcart scale to achieve efficiencies or distribute cost fairly. As a result, many of the services provided are done in partnership with the neighbouring municipalities. In our case, it is the Town of Golden. Some of the shared services provided in partnership with the Town of Golden include: cemetery, curling rink, airport (operating cost only), arena, library, emergency management, museum, solid waste and recycling, noxious weed enforcement, and mosquito control. These service contribute to the quality of life we all enjoy. I hope this educational piece has been interesting and useful. It may have raised more questions than answers. I love hearing from you and I am always happy to help find answers to your questions. Please connect with me at: Karen Cathcart CSRD Area A Director kcathcart@csrd.bc.ca 250-344-8357

“Yes, I have. I think we’ve seen the government long enough to know.”
“Not Harper. I’m still undecided between the NDP and the Liberals.”
“Yes, I have decided. I don’t think the campaign will change my mind.”
A big star to the organizers of the Willi Muller for a wonderful event. It was super organized and a lot of fun. Looking forward to returning for next year.
Go to www.thegoldenstar.net to have your say.
Stars to the nice folks at Red Diamond for the amazing food. You guys do such a wonderful job! A star to the Parson Jazz Cooperative for their awesome performance in Revelstoke last week. You guys did Golden and area proud. Way to go! Stingers to whoever destroyed Hitchbot in Philadelphia. I’m glad
that robot was treated with respect while he was in Golden. Shame on you Philly! Stingers to people who treat customer service workers with disrespect. Nobody deserves that kind of disgusting treatment. Stars to Golden for bringing all those tourists into town over the long weekend.

Province showing strong growth in international tourism over 2014 Ministry of Tourism Submitted British Columbia is showing strong growth in international overnight visitors with overall numbers up by an additional 34,785 visitors or 8.3% over May 2014, and year-to-date up by 103,993 visitors or 7.8% over the same period last year. Statistics Canada figures show an increase in international overnight visitors across many important markets, an important indicator of tourism industry growth.
Leading the way from the Asia-Pacific region, visitors from Japan are up 17.5% over last May, and from South Korea up 8.6%. Visitors from New Zealand are up 15.6% and up 14.3% from India. Growth from the United States, B.C.'s largest international market, was up 9.3%, with an additional 24,760 visitors over May 2014. Visitors from Europe were up 13.1% over last May, including France up 46.1%, the Netherlands up 36.1%, Switzerland up 35%, and Germany up 25.5%. This solid growth in the tourism sector
is due to a number of factors, including a strong U.S. dollar, lower fuel prices and increased flight capacity to B.C. Tourism is also about opportunity - by capitalizing on strong markets and strategic marketing investments, B.C.'s visitor economy is outperforming the rest of Canada. This positive growth builds on solid growth last year, with a 5.3% increase in international visitors overall in 2014 almost a quarter of a million (234,079) more visitors coming from outside the country than the year before. These increases in visitor numbers
help support over 19,000 businesses and 132,000 jobs in the tourism sector in B.C. “Anecdotally, we’ve been hearing that this spring and early summer was looking very strong on the tourism front, and the increases in international visitor numbers appear to back that up. B.C. is an exciting tourism destination that delivers a wide range of outstanding experiences, adventures and service to those who visit, and should be a mustsee on your global travel list,” said Naomi Yamamoto, Minister of Tourism and Small Business.
Keep your eye out for new app that rewards you for healthy choices Ministry of Health Submitted The National Healthy Living Platform: Carrot Rewards was launched last week by the Federal Minister of Health, Rona Ambrose, with the Government of British Columbia's Minister of Health, Terry Lake and Andreas Souvaliotis, Founder and CEO of Social Change Rewards. The Government of Canada is investing $5 million in this project, and the Government of British Columbia is providing $2.5 million in funding to help create, implement and promote the new app. This project has already received initial commitments of over $15 million in total funding from governments, non-governmental organizations and the private sector over a five year period. The Government of Canada is partnering with the Government of British Columbia, Social Change Rewards, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, the Canadian Diabetes Association and YMCA Canada to create the National Healthy Living Platform: Carrot Rewards app. The program will be launched first in British Columbia this fall, and then will expand to other provinces
and territories in the future. Social Change Rewards will develop Carrot Rewards, an online app, which will use incentives to reward Canadians for making healthy lifestyle decisions. Canadians will be able to download the Carrot Rewards app, which will be available in the fall, and receive their choice of loyalty points for engaging in specific health promotion activities that target the common risk factors associated with maintaining healthy weights and combating chronic diseases. Each time participants complete an activity they will receive points and will be further rewarded for completing follow-up assessments on an annual basis or other ongoing activities. An existing program supported by the federal government through a partnership with the YMCA has shown that people engaged in a rewards program increased their physical activity 110% and were active 2.8 times per week, up from 1.3 times per week. These types of programs have a track record of producing results that increase healthy behaviours, reducing the burden of cost on the health system for chronic disease. Last week’s announcement further supports the commitment by the Government of Canada and Govern-
ment of British Columbia for new, health-driven innovations. Carrot Rewards is another important initiative under the federal multi-sectoral partnerships approach to promote healthy living, and is another tool to add to the Healthy Families BC strategy, which focuses on improving the health and wellness of British Columbians through programs aimed at decreasing tobacco use, increasing opportunities for physical activity, supporting healthy eating, and promoting healthy weights. This is one of many partnerships made under the Government of Canada's Multi-Sectoral Partnership Approach to Healthy Living and Chronic Disease Prevention, which invests $20 million per year in projects that focus on addressing common risk factors, such as unhealthy eating, physical inactivity, and smoking, to prevent chronic disease. Other projects include The Play Exchange, a national challenge to encourage active living in Canada, the FIFA 11+ and Movement Preparation soccer injury prevention program and the RBC and ParticipACTION Learn to Play Project, a national program aimed at improving physical literacy among Canada's children and youth.

There is still time to go check out the Art Gallery of Golden’s current exhibit, which features the illustrated field journals of ecologist Lyn Baldwin. As a professor of ecology and botany at Thompson Rivers University, Baldwin has found a way to combine her passion for nature with her instinctive writing and artistic talents. “I have come to believe that recording natural history, with its emphasis on the observable, can be undertaken by anyone from an accomplished artist to a young child using stick figures,” wrote Baldwin. “The pages of illustrated field journals, however, do more than just document. Any field record is an act of translation, as naturalists seeks to decipher the complexity of the natural world into recognizable order.” Baldwin’s exhibit, titled Finding Place, explores her home through field journal art, and also asks some profound questions. How do we know what is true? How do we populate the imaginary terrain of our own existence with the myths that give life meaning? Finding Place will remain at AGOG until Sept. 9.

The Net Result: Birdman Joel Tansey reporter@thgoldenstar.net Quirky, funny and at times shockingly dark, Birdman follows the life of Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton), a former movie star who attempts to revive his fading career on Broadway following a successful run as a superhero. Completing the muddled picture is the eccentric, egotistical stage actor Mike Shiner (Edward Norton) and Riggan’s troubled daughter Samantha (Emma Stone). From the outset, we are introduced to Riggan as a washed-up Hollywood actor who is best remembered for his role as Birdman in a popular superhero series. In an effort to turn around both his career and his life, Riggan embarks on a risky project as he attempts to direct and star in his own Broadway play. After Riggan ousts his co-star Ralph in spectacular fashion, Mike is brought into the fold as his replacement, which creates its own unique problems. Mike is an unpredictable but brilliant actor who causes turmoil during the play’s preview shows. Meanwhile, we learn that Samantha is just out of rehab and the relationship between father and daughter is

Michael Keaten plays the slightly disturbed lead in Birdman. Fox Searchlight a rocky one at the best of times. Through all of this, Riggan is frequently mocked by a voice inside his head while also experiencing hallucinations. He’s just barely able to keep it all together as opening night approaches and the judging eyes of critics await. Birdman is a curious study of a character who is experiencing a sort of mid-life crisis - “I’m the answer to a Trivial Pursuit question” as he exclaims in one scene - having watched his career go down the drain and lost nearly everything and everyone that he cares about. It takes a good, hard look at depression, addiction and mental illness but in a subtle, understated way that doesn’t quite hit
you until the film’s conclusion. Director Alejandro G. Inarritu also deserves a pile of credit for telling the story in a creative way that enhances, rather than detracts, from the overall theme. Noticeably, there are few cuts throughout the film, with Inarritu striving to make the film appear as though it’s one, long single shot. The soundtrack is nearly exclusively made up of a single drummer, whose fast paced fills add a sense of intensity to scenes that might otherwise be lacking in suspense. Despite its Best Picture win at the Oscars, I don’t believe Birdman was the best film of 2014. It wasn’t far off though, and it’s easily worth 9 mouse clicks out of 10.

Railway had alcohol-related regulations before national Prohibition
- Turning Back the Pages By Colleen Palumbo
With so much interest in the changing face of the laws regarding marijuana I took look at the “Prohibition Act” in Canada. The dictionary definition of prohibition is: Forbidding; edict, order that forbids; forbidding by law of sale of intoxicants. It was believed that prohibition would reduce crime and corruption, solve social problems, reduce tax burden created by prisons and poorhouses and improve the health of the Canadian people. The CPR had first enacted a form of prohibition in order to keep their workers sober and the communities in which they lived safe. At first CPR’s act stated that the distance between an establishment that sold alcohol and the railway would be seven miles. This was soon changed to 20 miles and places like the Hog Ranch (Parson B.C) at the 21 mile opened in order to accom-
modate the drinking population. This act also started a string of “Whiskey Trails” that were just outside of the legal 20 mile line. These trails were used to transport the liquor from one safe place to another. When it became apparent that the government really meant to enact Prohibition the public tried many different things in order help defeat the motion. In August, 1916, the following article was distributed around the provinces to try to get the sympathy vote. What the Prohibition Act means to Housewives- Measure Interferes with Established Household Customs and Practices: “The Prohibition Act has a meaning for women as well as men and there are features of the measure which every housewife and mother should take into account. Nearly every family has in its cupboard or medicine chest a supply of brandy, port wine or other liquor for medical use in case of an emergency. This is well- established custom in all civilized countries and time after time this preventive measure meets conditions of urgent necessity. As the traffic in

liquor is now handled a person may go to licensed premises and secure a flask of brandy at a cost of 50 cents or less. Under the terms of the prohibition act it will still be possible to secure brandy within the province for such purposes. It means however that instead of going to the liquor premises for the supply, the head of the household must first go to the doctor for the prescription (fee of $2) then go to the drug store and secure the liquor at drug store rates which, for the same quantity, would cost from $2.50
or $3.50. The comparison between the present method and the prohibition law is striking, especially from a financial standpoint. Nearly every household wife uses brandy, port, Madeira or other in connection with her household cooking. Especially this is so around Christmas time when the plum pudding of our country forefathers, the time honoured Christmas fruit cake and the appetizing mince pie, all of which require liquor for proper preparation, must be provided. Under the Pro-
hibition law no provision is made for supplying liquor for household purposes, hence the housewife must, some weeks beforehand, send her good money out of the province to secure the supply which she formally secured locally without difficulty. In addition to the trouble and inconvenience of this arrangement she will find that the prices she will pay will be considerably higher than those she was accustomed to, on account of the transportation charges.

Answers to your Health and Wellness questions
- Dr. Erika Buckley-Strobel Ask Dr. Erika
Q – I know I’m not allergic to nuts, but they never seem to agree with my digestion. Is there anything I can do so that I can enjoy one of my favourite healthy snacks? A – I’m glad you’ve ruled out a nut allergy. Both people with IgE (anaphylactic) immune responses and IgG (delayed type) immune responses need to be very cau-
tious and avoid any exposure to nuts. For those who are not allergic, nuts and seeds provide us with our healthy fats and are an excellent source of Vitamin E, a nerve protector and immune-enhancing anti-oxidant. As well, they are a good source of protein in the diet. In fact, the fat in nuts and seeds that make them so healthy could also be what is causing your problems. This is not because of the fat itself, but what happens when these fats come in contact with air. Once nuts are shelled, their oils are exposed to the air and break down into toxic substances (or are oxidized) very quickly. When this occurs, the oil is said to be rancid.
PREVENTIVE MEDICINE HYDROTHERAPY NUTRITION
You may have noticed a musty smell coming from your mixed nuts or trail mix. This is a clear sign that your nuts are rancid and shouldn’t be eaten. Rancidity can irritate the digestion and interfere with proper digestive enzyme production. It has also been linked to decreased immunity and therefore to other illnesses. It is best to buy raw nuts and seeds that are within their shells. Once hulled or shelled, store seeds and nuts in sealed container and in the freezer. This will slow the process of oxidation that creates rancid oils, but will not prevent it. Therefore it is important to consume nuts and seeds within a few days of shelling. Light-
ly roasting (low heat!) or soaking freshly shelled nuts and seeds also help to prevent rancidity, and make them easier to digest. Careful not to use too much heat as this can also cause rancidity.

Yukon Blonde ready for Golden gig Joel Tansey reporter@thegoldenstar.net
In 2008, the members of Alphababy decided that they’d have to change their band’s name in order to fully progress and reach their potential. The decision came with some encouragement from singer-songwriter JonRae Fletcher, who was touring with the group at the time. “We kind of needed a fresh start. So we figured that if you change your name, everything will kind of flow from there which it did…we started writing all new songs with all new material. It was basically a brand new band,” said guitarist Brandon Scott. The group came to be known as Yukon Blonde and they’ve gradually built a considerable following in B.C. and across Canada ever since. Today, the band continues to look forward, rarely, if ever, thinking about their original name and sound as Alphababy. “We were just young guys at the time with Alphababy so I feel like we grew up a lot,” Scott said. Their latest record, On Blonde, was released this spring and features the single “Saturday Night,” a tune that principal songwriter Jeff

Cody will be lovingly remembered by his parents, Merv and Helyne of Golden; brother, Adam; Grandmother, Esther Horsburgh, numerous aunts, uncles and cousins, and his girlfriend, Paige Hiraoka. A celebration of Cody’s life was held from the Golden Senior’s Centre on Saturday August 1st. Online condolences can be sent through Cody`s obituary at www.hindmanbowersfuneralhome.com.

KERRY LYNN LARWILL, beloved wife of James Larwill, passed away at the Chinook Regional Hospital, on Saturday, July 25, 2015 at the age of 52 years. Kerry was so loved and will be missed by her husband James Larwill, daughter Chelcy (Shawn) Markus, son Trevor James (TJ) (Catlind) Reynolds, two grandbabies Brooklyn and James. She is also survived by her brother Devin McEwen, mother Donna (Wil) Higham and stepmother Rita McEwan, father-in-law Ed (Kay) Larwill, mother-in-law Angie Seery, sisterin-law Lori Larwill, brother-in-law Dezi Larwill, very important friend Connie Moch as well as numerous family and friends in Lethbridge, Calgary, Winnipeg, and Golden, B.C. Kerry did all of her schooling in Lethbridge where she met and married Ronald Reynolds. They had two beautiful children, Chelcy and TJ, moved to Golden, B.C., and after her divorce she met her soul companion James Larwill. Kerry was grandmother to Chelcy's daughter, Brooklyn LaVane and TJ's son, James Joseph. Kerry moved back to Lethbridge and sickness again overtook her but through all that time we loved and cherished her. Pain free and happy now, she is seeing all those who went before her; her dad Fred McEwen, grandma Margaret Kenna and grandpa Joseph Kenna. Service for Kerry Larwill will be held at the Baptist Church on August 8, 2015. In memory of Kerry, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society 317 10 Street South, Lethbridge, AB, T1J 2M7.
