Similkameen Spotlight, July 09, 2014

Bridge Street was lined up with 128 registered participants, added to by a couple late arrivals on Saturday, setting the 14 annual Show n Shine at 130 entries.

With thanks to the show organizers, sponsors and the generosity of local businesses, over $1000 in gifts were presented to car show entrants.

“Everybody has been awesome with dona-tions,” said organizer Ellen “Mac” MacDonald, “We get a really good response and it gets better every year.”

Mayor Frank Armitage opened the show at 10 a.m., by extending a, “warm welcome to exhibi-tors, and all participants.” He said, “thank you,” to Mac and Frank MacDonald and to Otto Coers. for hosting the annual event. “Donations from this event go to worthy causes in Princeton,” said the mayor, “and these fine people put on a wonderful event.”

The mayor was also pleased to introduce the Princeton Ambassador team for 2014; Alex Burke and Kassidy McCutcheon and extended his thanks to The Allenby Road Band for provid-ing the music for the event.

Mac presented a plaque, extending gratitude to John Draper for the years of ongoing support of the show from he and his wife Eva.

“John has retired from the show, explained Mac, and we want to thank him and Eva both for their support.”

During the last week of June, local RCMP issued a news release that stated, “RCMP have seen an increase in the num-ber of rural break and enters and property thefts,” and that, “Residents are asked to report any suspicious activity to police and to secure their belongings.”

Residents should be aware that break and enters are most certainly on the rise, including theft of property. There are a number of recent incidents that have occurred, causing con-cern.

During the early hours of Monday, June 30, three local businesses were broken in to and the Community Garden at John Allison Elementary School was raided.

CoCo’s Bistro/Cowboy Coffee, the Princeton Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store and the Chamber of Commerce/Visitor Info Centre were targeted.

Both the thrift store and chamber buildings received dam-age as the perpetrator(s) used a crowbar to break the locks of the doors to gain entry.

At the Chamber/Visitor Centre, the back door was broken and funds being collected for Princeton Girl Guides (their cookie money), breast cancer research, search and rescue and the cash float. “The damage bothers me,” said manager Lori Thomas, “But what bothers me the most is that it’s just hid-eous and low that someone would steal from little girls and non-profits.”

Meet your Mountie was definitely a crowd pleaser at the Hedley Canada Day celebra-tion. The event, which took place at the Hedley Museum, featured gold panning, face painting and a treasure hunt for the children. There was also music that might be described as a combina-tion of old time, folk and blue grass. A hamburger and hot dog barbeque made it a complete day.

When Constable Anthony Pankratz of the Princeton RCMP Detachment agreed to pose for photos with celebration attendees, the response was enthusiastic. At 6 feet, 8 inches, he towered above those standing next to him for a picture. One enraptured lady looked up into his face and exclaimed, “oh, he’s cute!”

Later, in an interview with the festivities MC, he regaled the crowd with his impressions of life as a Mountie in the Similkameen Valley. He said “the biggest challenge that comes with being a police officer in a small town is that I know a lot of the people I have a responsibility to deal with.”

Just before the singing of “O Canada” at noon, Bill Day, a former Citizenship Judge, addressed the audience. The essence of his message was that, “ Canada has done many things right, but we have been very wrong in the way we have dealt with First Nations people.”

The musicians, Colleen Cox and George Huber are popular entertainers on the Blue Grass circuit. From 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a couple of intermissions, they sang and played such favou-rites as “You are my Sunshine” and “Country Roads.” George and Colleen’s passion for music and love of people, plus their engaging person-alities held the attention of the crowd to the end. For the last few tunes they were joined on stage by talented local musician Eric Lance. Ben Murbach provided a delightful impromptu flute solo during one intermission.

Prior to the formal program, local historian

Jennifer Douglass conducted a guided tour of Hedley. She has published articles on the area and provided little known insights into Hedley’s past.

The barbeque grill was ably tended by veteran hotel chef and camp cook, Jim Gray. With his stetson and massive greying beard, Jim could be mistaken for a cowboy philosopher. He is cur-rently providing meals at the museum from 10 am to 4 p.m. every day except Tuesday. Salads, pickles, tomatoes, watermelon slices and Canada Day cupcakes were provided by town ladies. Five cent ice cream cones were again a popular item.

Comments at the end suggested that everyone went home well fed and happy.

BREAK INS - from page 1The thrift store was badly damaged, with

the frame needing repair as well as a new door installed. “It was obvious they were looking for something,” said Penny Davidson, store manager, “The police told us that they broke in using a crowbar.”

Local resident, Solana Allison happened to be walking past the store on Monday and seeing the frustration of the volunteers, sprang immediately into action.

Allison made some temporary repairs, enough to be able to lock up the store for the night, left and returned with a brand new door, which she not only donated to the auxiliary, but installed on Tuesday morning.

“She took time out of her schedule to help us out,” said Davidson, “She even paid for it out of her own pocket. We just can’t thank Sol enough!” she exclaimed.

Cst. Kris Clark, Acting District Advisory NCO (Media Relations) of the South East District, recommends businesses invest in a good alarm system - better yet, a video surveillance sys-tem. “I can’t promote it enough,” said Cst. Clark,

“there are affordable and excellent high definition cameras that work in low light that can allow us to identify a suspect.”

It was also reported to The Spotlight, that during Mother’s Day weekend this year, the train-ing canoe at the Princeton Centennial Pool was stolen.

The Spotlight checked with local insurance providers, Westland and Valley First.

Manager Sharon Laine of Westland Insurance and Linda Thompson of Valley First Insurance both stated that homeowners/business would receive better rates on their insurance, should they have a security system.

New electricity meters allow more billing options and customer tools.

FortisBC’s Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project will begin this fall in the Trail-Salmo area, and is expected to be complete in all regions by the end of 2015.

“Advanced meters open the door for new and exciting options for our electricity customers,” said Tom Loski, FortisBC vice-president, custom-er service. “For the first time, our electricity cus-tomers will have the ability to move to monthly billing and select their own billing date. Advanced meters also help us better pinpoint power outages, meaning a more efficient response.”

Online tools that allow customers to see their energy use will be available in the coming months.

Below is the scheduled timeline for meter exchanges:

• South Okanagan – May 2015 to July 2015• Similkameen and Boundary – August 2015

to October 2015FortisBC will notify customers by mail before

their meter is exchanged. Customers do not have to be home for the exchange to take place.

However, the exchange will require a brief power outage lasting only a few minutes. FortisBC asks that customers leave safe access to their meter, including keeping dogs and other pets away. Once an advanced meter has been installed, customers will receive an information package.

FortisBC will be using advanced meters sup-plied by Itron, and Corix has been selected to conduct the meter exchanges. These contractors will be easily identifiable and will carry FortisBC identification.

Advanced meters provide many benefits for customers, and a radio-off option is available for those who have concerns. This option does require a customer to sign-up and agree to the cost-recovering fees approved by the BC Utilities Commission. Customers who choose the radio-off option will receive an advanced meter with the wireless signal turned off, meaning their meter will be read manually.

For more information about the AMI project, or the radio-off option, customers can visit for-tisbc.com/ami or call 1-866-436-7847.

The body of a 67 year old man was recovered from the Similkameen River during the afternoon of Wednesday, July 2.

The man identified as Thomas Tomusiak of Princeton had been reported missing on Canada Day, July 1. He was last seen in the area of the Princeton Centennial Pool.

A release issued by Cst. Kris Clark, Acting District Advisory NCO (Media Relations) of the South East District, states that the Princeton

RCMP received a report of a missing 67-year-old Princeton man from the public pool at 4:11 p.m.

Princeton RCMP, Princeton Ground Search and Rescue, Police Dog Services and RCMP Air Services were all called in to assist with the search.

The search was postponed due to darkness, but resumed the following morning.

RCMP Air Services located the body of Thomas Tomusiak, approximately 11 km east of Princeton.

Local RCMP are assisting the BC Coroners Service in the investigation.

VICTORIA – A few weeks before the landmark decision declaring aboriginal title proven by the Tsilhqot’in Nation, I picked up a used university textbook that looked like a handy reference.

Geography in British Columbia: People and Landscapes in Transition, by Brett McGillivray (UBC Press, Second Edition) is a good reference, except where it strays from geography into politics.

This 2005 edition came out before the B.C. Treaty Commission started producing agreements. It recounts the establishment of the Ministry of Native Affairs by the Social Credit government in 1990, and the election the next year of the NDP, who reversed the province’s historical legal posi-tion and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title.

At this point the textbook departs from the facts and leads its freshman pupils into left-wing dogma.

McGillivray writes: “When the Liberal Party won the 2001 election, it launched a province-wide referendum on treaty negotiations, prompt-ing commentators to suggest the government was ‘trying to impose 19th century ideas on a 21st century problem’.”

This quote was indeed representative of the media consen-sus at the time. On TV, aboriginal leaders burned their ballots while denouncing the referendum as racist and divisive. The public was taught that the Liberal government was exploiting racism for political gain.

In fact, this referendum was one of a long series of efforts to untangle the legal knot left by Canada and B.C.’s failure to complete historical treaties after 1900.

Seven of the eight questions in the 2002 referendum were simply to confirm the existing position of B.C. treaty negotia-tors. The purpose, then as now, was to settle treaties.

The first question asked if private land should be exempt from expropriation for treaty settlements.

What remains true today is that no society has made sig-nificant social and environmental progress without individ-ual property rights. Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves do not permit individually owned property.

The Tsilhqot’in dropped claims of property held by non-aboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a

wise move. Other referendum questions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunt-ing, fishing and park use. All were endorsed.

The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.”

Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial juris-diction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands.

By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leader-ship from aboriginal communities, the Campbell

government tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indigenous nations.”

That idea originated with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal lead-ers later that year.

The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referen-dum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues.

The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come.

What do you expect?

BC ViewsTOM FLETCHER

SpotlightOPINION

When British Columbians call 9-1-1 to seek emergency medical assistance, they do so because they are experi-encing a situation that requires an immediate response. Firefighters, the first responders in BC, are generally first on-scene and provide medical and scene management sup-port until paramedics are able to respond.

Last fall BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) made changes to how it allocates its resources by having ambulances respond to certain medical calls in a “routine or non-priority” manner as opposed to previous designation of “emergency or lights and sirens”. The BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) argued these changes contained in the Resource Allocation Plan (RAP) were necessary to improve response times for those patients with the most urgent medical needs.

At the BCPFFA, we’re calling this move what it really is: the Ambulance Service’s scramble, as directed by the BCEHS, to manage a shortage of available ambulances and paramedics. The BCPFFA is strongly opposed to these changes and supports the call for more ambulances and paramedics.

Once a call is downgraded to non-priority from emer-gency, the timeline to get to the incident changes. Our members have seen a number of cases where patients in distress (heavy bleeding, head injuries, spinal injuries and loss of consciousness) are being considered non-priority.

Since these changes were quietly implemented last fall, firefighters across the province are noticing much longer wait times for paramedics to arrive at an incident. In an increasing number of cases the wait for an ambulance can now be between 40 and 50 minutes longer. Is this what you expect when you call 9-1-1?

In Canada, the standards for emergency medical response are less than nine minutes in nine out of ten calls, or in the 90th percentile. BCAS chooses to report only average response times. The American standards are much higher, at four to six minutes for most medical emergent calls. BCEHS targets 12 minutes, and meets that goal 52 percent of the time for the highest priority calls. Prior to the recent RAP changes, first responders attended 35 per-cent of medical calls. If the recent RAP changes are fully implemented, first responders will respond to approxi-mately 25 percent of medical calls.

By changing its response to 74 of 868 call types, includ-ing downgrading 39 to non-priority, BCEHS is condoning a delayed response to the emergent needs of your com-munity. Is this acceptable to you and your loved ones when emergency medical care is required?

We are urging the government through the BCEHS to return the medical response to what the Cain Report in 1989 envisioned of an ambulance service, which was a layered response, with firefighters being simultaneously dispatched to medical emergencies within their commu-nity’s jurisdiction. Wait times are becoming dangerously long and putting undue stress on those in need of immedi-ate care.

British Columbia’s population growth and the aging Baby Boomer generation make it essential that this dis-cussion, along with an informed and integrated systemic response to these challenges, shape the future of the emergency services system. BCPFFA wants to work with all stakeholders to ensure that British Columbians receive the care and attention required when they call 9-1-1 – and we’re not confident they’re getting it today.

If you need to call 9-1-1 for yourself or someone else in need, how long are you prepared to wait for assistance?

The B.C. government is raising speed limits around southern B.C., including a new 120 km/h limit on three remote stretches of divided four-lane highway.

The new maximum speed applies to the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Kamloops, the Okanagan Connector (Highway 97C) from Aspen Grove to Peachland and Highway 19 from Parksville to Campbell River. The Coquihalla sections get new 120 km/h signs this week, and more changes will roll out this summer as sign crews put up new limits.

In all, 35 sections of rural provincial highway totalling 1,300 are getting higher speed limits. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said limits are being raised where traffic studies show the vast majority of traffic is already going faster than the posted limit.

A pilot project will test variable speed limits depending on volume and weather conditions. Digital signs that can display different limits will be tested on sections of the Trans-Canada, Coquihalla and Sea-to-Sky highways.

The Sea-to-Sky Highway gets an increase from 80 to 90 km/h from Horseshoe Bay to Squamish. Other increases are 80 to 100 km/h on Highway 3 from Manning Park West to Allison Pass, 90 to 100 km/h from Revelstoke to Golden and 100 to 110 km/h on Highway 97C from Merritt to Aspen Grove.

In northern B.C., 52 per cent of people tak-ing part in public consultation did not support speed limit increases, and that region will not see changes. All other regions had support, the high-est in the Lower Mainland at 81per cent.

RCMP opposed increasing speed limits on rural highways. ICBC representatives also expressed safety concerns, and will monitor areas with higher limits to see if the severity of crashes increases.

Ministry statistics show the number of serious crashes on provincial highways has decreased 28 per cent since 2003, from a combination of improved vehicle tech-nology, driver educa-tion and enforcement.

The ministry accepted recommenda-tions from RCMP rep-resentatives to improve signs that encourage slower traffic to move to right lanes, and to clarify winter tire rules. The ministry is chang-ing regulations to make tires with an “M&S”

(mud and snow) symbol as well as those with a “mountain snowflake” (winter) symbol accept-able for roads requiring winter tires.

New designs for wildlife warning signs, includ-ing lighted signs for high incident areas, are being installed.

An updated sign reminding drivers to “Keep Right, Let Others Pass” is being installed, after people around the province expressed frustration about the slow vehicles in passing lanes.

Speed limits going up around B.C.Tom Fletcher

Volunteer-Driven NO ENTRY FEE

NO MINIMUM PLEDGE Walk-Run-Wheel-Ride

These days, I’m in the throes of angst and uncertainty. Well, that’s a bit of an exaggeration I suppose. What I’m doing is working my way through the new Susan Allison mural. The old one is such a target for closet creatives that I figured I would declare open warfare on these culturally deprived ones. I want to teach them at least to be original but since they are middle of the night types and I’m not, I’m skipping over that step and proceeding to unnamed high tech solu-tions for the newer, hopefully improved version. And that’s all I’ll say about that.

Back to angst. Here’s how it goes: I get this tremendously “brilliant” idea. I share it with people and of course they smile and offer a bit of encouragement. Being in a moderately manic phase I read that as the go-ahead and I’m off! I do the timeline thing which, by the way, usually gets lost very early on. Then I put in my proposal to the appropriate agency.

Soon the approval comes and I begin shop-ping for materials. I love that part. My version of finding gold would be to find a huge box of Golden Heavy Body Acrylics of all the colours of the rain-bow, no pun intended. After a futile local search for some rare board which is necessary for my top secret anti-vandalism strategy, I make a run into the Big City to shop. And now, I am ready to begin.

One of the interesting aspects of mural painting is that most often, it is done in a public place. My choice is to do the work in the lobby at Riverside Centre and so we set up with a sturdy arrangement in one corner of the open area.

Gulp. Wow, I never realized how big eight feet by six feet really is. No matter. I find a suitable ladder, set out my equip-ment and supplies and begin to block in my preliminary sketch.

I have had much experience over the years making art in public so I’m not rattled any more by spectators. They are not the source of my angst because I’ve learned that goodwill is

intended no matter what the comments are. I’m left-handed and also quite awkward but have unorthodox coping skills. This creates great dis-comfort in helpful men so I am gentle.

The blocking in goes well and soon I am applying paint with a four inch house painting brush. The work begins to take on a life of its own and spectators make encouraging noises. I begin to get squirmy. I have a barely controlled urge to shout, “Of course it looks good! It’s big!” (I once heard an art professor mutter under his breath at an opening, “If you can’t paint, make it big. If it still doesn’t work, make it red.”) Once the preliminary sketch is laid in, I step back. I

want to tell everyone that the painting is done because I just know what will happen next. I’ll tighten up and then it’s down hill all the way from here. I try to remember those breathing exercises I learned during prenatal education. As I began to practice them, I noticed folks stepping out of the lobby with alarmed looks on their faces.

After an extended break I return and begin doing details of Mrs. Allison’s strong face.

She calms me down somehow (she addresses the viewer directly) and I spend many hours working out those minute details of distance between the eyes, compound curves and just-so lip contours. How could I not do justice to a woman who had fourteen children, survived a house fire, a devastat-ing flood and lived to well into her nineties?

I’m not finished yet, but I have survived at least one bout of angst and although I still have uncertainty, I’m still work-ing at it. Of course, if you’re up at Riverside Centre, do stop by and have a look. I promise not to fall apart in front of you.

ARTI-FACTSMERRILYN HUYCKE

Surviving the bouts of artistic angst

Some local politicians think it’s too early to take a position on a proposed hydroelectric dam near Princeton.

Instead, the board of the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen agreed Thursday to have one of its committees simply explore concerns raised by the project.

In January, Fortis Inc. was granted a two-year investiga-tive use permit to study the feasibility of the dam on the Similkameen River near the Copper Mountain Mine site about 15 kilometres south of Princeton.

Company officials met with the RDOS board in February to provide basic information about the project, which cor-porate services manager Bob Gibney described then as “extremely economically fragile.”

Allan Patton, the RDOS director for rural Oliver, said this week he didn’t like what he heard.

“I wasn’t impressed, so I would like to further the conver-sation,” he told the board prior to requesting support for a motion to have the committee come up with a position on the dam.

Brad Hope, the director for rural Princeton, supported the move and told colleagues he’s “getting lots of questions from constituents and people who are concerned.”

“We’re talking about water storage, perhaps the sale of water. This is something we should be concerned about now,” he said.

“We’re talking about a 20-kilometre long reservoir in the valley above Princeton. We should be looking at this. It’s a big project.”

Others suggested the time for comment on the project would come later on in the process.

“This not a sleight-of-hand situation. There will be ample time, probably a two-year period, when the environmental joint assessment is done on the whole project,” said Princeton Mayor Frank Armitage.

“It’s done in a formal setting and it’s based then on facts brought by all parties.”

Andrew Jakubeit, a Penticton city councillor and RDOS director, said withholding judgment now will allow for a more educated position later on once more facts are known.

“Then there’s some substance there to say, ‘I really like this aspect of it, or, ‘We’re concerned about that,’” he said.

Patton countered that the board’s concerns could be help-ful now.

“We also might be having suggestions or recommendations on issues that they haven’t considered yet. And, if that’s the case, it should be done earlier rather than later,” he said.

According to Fortis Inc.’s land tenure application, the dam is proposed to be up to 200 metres tall and 477 metres long, and create a 750-hectare reservoir behind it.

The dam is expected to generate between 45 and 65 mega-watts of electricity. The B.C. government does not require proposed hydroelectric projects under 50 megawatts to go through a full environmental assessment.

The application also explains the dam’s power output would supply the company’s service area, while the reservoir would provide “numerous downstream benefits” like flood mitigation and flow shaping in Canada and the U.S.

A group of 80 riders made the decent into Princeton during the afternoon of July 3. In this group of riders are former residents; pharmacist Wen Wong and his son, Wesley (father and son team who are part of the Tenth Church Team) and wife Sharon (Support Driver). Wen, Wesley and Sharon are participating in the one week Valley and the Mountains part of the tour.

One of the riders known as, Spurgeon, brought 45 two pound memory blocks (blocks containing the names of people who have died - homicide victims, clients of the program Spurgeon works at in the inner city). Other riders and support staff are helping carry the blocks during the ride. “It is meaningful to the people back home,” said Spurgeon, “we carry the blocks bearing the names of their loved ones and we offer a prayer for the families.”

The riders are participating in the The Love in Motion Tour 2014 - a ride across Canada to raise awareness and funds to support various projects across Canada.

Issues like poverty, youth violence, family breakdown and challenges for newcomers to Canada relate to the projects the riders are working hard to promote and raise funds for. This years projects include; Ruth and Naomi’s Mission - Hope for the Homeless, Chilliwack, BC, The Second Mile - Hot Soup and a Healing Home, Vernon, BC, Encompass Partnerships - The Gospel for a Medley of Subcultures, Calgary, AB, Millbourne Community Centre, Edmonton, AB, The Gospel Transforming “the worst neighbourhood in Canada”, Regina, SK, Good News Chapel, Regina, SK, Vibrant Life in Rural Manitoba, Portage la Prairie, MB, Lightpoints at Jane and Finch - Reaching Out to Jane and Finch, Toronto, ON, Welcoming

Newcomers, Toronto, ON, Hope for a New Generation, Montreal, QC, and a special motor-cycle project will purchase motorcycles for agri-cultural specialists in Niger, Africa.

Bicyclists, including a tandem bike and rid-ers left Vancouver on June 30. The first part of the tour, named Valley and the Mountains (Vancouver to Vernon) consists of the 80 riders, the youngest being 19 and the eldest 74 years of age.

“Seventeen of this group will travel all the way to Halifax,” said ride organizer Matt Campbell. Various numbers of riders will travel different sections of the tour, some the whole tour.

High Mountain Passes runs from Vernon to Calgary, The Northern Route - Calgary to Saskatoon, Great Plains and Tailwinds - Saskatoon/Regina to Winnipeg, Northern Ontario Express - Winnipeg to Wawa, the Great Lakes Adventure - Wawa to Toronto, Rivers and Canals - Toronto to Montreal, the Great St. Lawrence - Montreal to Bathurst and the East Coast - Bathurst to Halifax.

The riders are hosted throughout the tour by churches and groups from within the communi-ties they ride through.

The Princeton Baptist Church provided the riders with a barbecued supper.

Pastor Mel Reimer and his wife Sherry along with church members; Leanne, Holly and Graham, Peter and Marja and Kyle brought and prepared dinner for the riders at Memorial Park.

“We have been well taken care of,” said Campbell, The Town of Princeton, Parks and Rec gave us a place to stay, the Baptist Church fed us and even Jai from Golden Hills gave us a great deal on ice cream.”

After a well deserved rest, the riders left Princeton on their way to Vernon, Friday morn-ing. If you are interested in keeping up with the tour, please visit www.loveinmotion.ca.

GOOD LUCK !340 Athletes and 68 Coaches from the Thompson - Okanagan (Zone 2)will be at the Nanaimo 2014 BC Summer Games July 17- 20.

Princeton Kokanee Swim team had a very fun filled afternoon decorating their first float for the 2014 Princeton racing days parade. Both swimmers and parents worked hard as a team to pull off what turned out to be an amazing float!! We ended up getting a first place ribbon for our efforts! BIG thank you to all the parents behind the scene who helped pull off the vision. We really felt the love from our community during the parade last weekend, Thank you!

Swimmers of the week for June 23-27 are; Turtles swimmer of the week Nate Smith, who has been blowing bubbles like a champ, and is always eager to join his team mates in the pool. Development Group swimmer of the week is Chase Pankratz, who has been working very hard at his 10m back glides with kick, every day going further and getting stronger. Junior/Senior group swimmer of the week is Nicholas Cimbaro, who has been doing a fantastic job of his stream lines, he is trying every practice to get past and through

the white zone. Great work guys, your hard work is not unnoticed, and your team is very proud of you.

Our swimmers are gearing up for the upcom-ing Kamloops Invitational on the weekend of July 5/6. This is a very competitive and fun meet hosted in the Brock outdoor swimming pool. Our club is very excited to be part of this meet, and are once again looking forward to some best times. We want to thank the community for your ongoing support to our club, and look forward to reporting another weekend of success

Just for fun, we thought this week we would share some swimming trivia. 1. Elephants can swim up to 20 miles a day, and use their trunks as a natural snorkel. 2. Swimming is great cardio because you are moving against the waters resistance, which is 10x that of air. 3. The turbo pump on the space shut-tle main engine is powerful enough to drain an averaged sized pool in 25sec. 4. An Olympic sized swimming pool (50mx25yards) can hold 700,000 to 850,000 gallons of water.

5. Swim fins were invented by Benjamin Franklin!

Princeton’s Canada Day celebrations took place at the Princeton Museum from 11 a.m., to 1 p.m., followed by a free swim at the Princeton Centennial Pool.

Participants enjoyed music by the Allenby Road Band, museum tours and the children enjoyed crafts and relay games.

Opening with all singing O Canada, Mayor Armitage then gave a welcome and introduced the Princeton Youth Ambassadors of 2014; ambassador Alex Burke and vice-ambassador Kassidy McCutcheon.

Local artist Tim Hall presented a reading of “Say the Names.”

“Say the Names” is an evocative verse by Canadian poet, Al Purdy. His estate gave per-mission for its reproduction to be used where the Tulameen and Similkameen Rivers join at The Bridge of Dreams.

The poem placement is the result of a joint effort between the Vermilion Trail Society and the Princeton Community Arts Council.

To top off the celebration at the museum, Canada Day cakes were enjoyed courtesy of Jeanie Williams.


Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists’ latest field trip found us down by the riverside, as we traversed the steep slope of Frank and Jean Turner’s property, from high hills to val-ley bottom, alongside the Similkameen River. Seventeen of us, ranging in age from eight to eighty, made our way down a sandy trail, taking pleasure in the landscape, birds and wildflowers as we walked. We were fortunate enough to have with us Okanagan biologist, Jessica Hobden, an invasive plant specialist, and she took the time to identify some of the insidious weeds that have permeated local areas: leafy spurge, sulphur cinquefoil and hound’s-tongue are three of these more common plants. Although their creeping, intertwined root systems make them impossible to eliminate by pulling, Jessica showed us specific beetles and fleas that she

has introduced to these weeds, insects that feed on and ultimately should eradicate the invasive plants. Another highlight of the morning was spotting a Barrow’s Goldeneye with her nine ducklings, swimming single file across a small pond. Eventually we made our way to the river, viewed the rushing torrent of high, muddy waters, as snow melt continues to contribute to the Similkameen. After trekking back up the mountainside, we relaxed on bales of hay and were treated to food and beverages – thanks to Frank and Jean for their hospitality!

Our next field trip will take place Saturday, July 12, when we will hike to the top of the world off Hembre Mtn. Road, with south Okanagan lepidopterist Dennis St. John, who will educate us on the various butterfly species and their behaviours. We’ll meet at Billy’s Restaurant parking lot at 10 a.m. Please confirm with me at 295-7560.

Celebrating Canada Day

Councillor Kim Maynard cuts one of the Canada Day Cakes while two little ones wait in great anticipation.Games and crafts for the children were held as well as tours of the museum. Outside, the Allenby Road Band kept everyone entertained.Below: The poem, “Say the Names,” by Al Purdy will be placed at the Bridge of Dreams.


Seventeen naturalists traversed the steep slope of Frank and Jean Turner’s property, from high hills to valley bottom, alongside the Similkameen River. Afterwards, the Turners treated the group to lunch. The next field trip will take place Saturday, July 12 at which time but-terfly species and behav-iours will be studied.

A month from now the streets of Princeton will be alive with music. The 7th Annual Princeton Traditional Music Festival begins on Friday August 15 at 6:15 p.m. with an opening ceremony and a participatory dance on Veterans’ Way. On Saturday and Sunday there will be music from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. right in downtown Princeton.

As in the past, this year’s Festival will feature musicians from near and far. One of the most reputable performers this year comes to us all the way from New England. Jeff Warner from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, sings traditional American and English folk songs. He is among the America’s foremost per-former/interpreters of traditional music. His songs from the lumber camps, fish-ing villages and mountaintops of the US connect 21st century audiences with the everyday lives – and artistry – of 19th century Americans. Providing more than just rich entertainment, Jeff leaves listen-ers with a deeper appreciation of the way people lived in the past.

If you have ever heard the song, “Hang Down You Head, Tom Dooley”, it is thanks to the work of Jeff Warner’s parents. Frank and Anne Warner trav-eled through the US in the mid twenti-eth century collecting songs. They met Frank Proffitt in 1937 and he sang them the Tom Dooley song. The Kingston Trio learned it from Frank Warner and

made it popular. As a child Jeff travelled with his parents and grew up hearing hundreds of traditional singers sharing their songs. As an adult he edited his mother’s book, Traditional American Folk Songs: From the Anne and Frank Warner Collection. He is also the pro-ducer of the two-CD set, “http://www.appleseedmusic.com/timeriksen/her-brightsmile.html” \t “_new” Her Bright Smile Haunts Me Still, the Warners’ recordings of rural singers, many of them born in Victorian times “The scion of one of the nation’s most eminent families of folksong collectors,” Stuart Frank, the Senior Curator of the New Bedford Whaling Museum, says of him, “Jeff Warner represents a tradition that is fundamentally unbroken since prein-dustrial times”.

A Folklorist and Community Scholar for the New Hampshire Council of the Arts, Jeff was named a 2007 State Arts Council Fellow. He has recorded for Flying Fish, Appleseed and Wildgoose Records. Jeff’s traditional songs, rich in local history and a sense of place, present the latest news from the distant past. Jeff will be joined onstage by Bruce MacIntyre.

Jeff Warner is just one of the new performers who will be participating in this year’s Traditional Music Festival. The best thing about it is that it’s free – no admission is charged. It is run entirely by volunteers including the musicians. If you would like to find out more, visit the Festival’s website at

www.princetontraditional.org. If you’d like to help out at the Festival

the committee would love to hear from you. You can email [email protected] or phone 250-295-6010.

CAPRICORN: Whatever is going on at work will still be there tomorrow, Capricorn. If you cannot get all the tasks done, do not beat yourself up over it. Just begin tomorrow with a can-do attitude.

AQUARIUS: Aquarius, your mind may wander but it is important to remain as focused as possible. Important information is revealed in the next few days.

PISCES: Pisces, a budding relationship appears ready to grow more serious. Take advantage of this opportunity.

ARIES: Aries, you enjoy doing your part to keep your world orderly and balanced. However, into every organized life a little confusion will fall. You will handle it smoothly.

TAURUS: Taurus, so many good things are happening around you that you should enjoy this time as much as you can. It is a time for indulgence and entertainment.

GEMINI: Gemini, you are ready for fun and celebration. Surround yourself with friends and family so the next several days prove even more memorable.

CANCER: Cancer, focus on recreation this week. You have earned the right to relax and escape the daily grind, so make the most of your opportunities to do just that.

LEO: A welcomed gift will come your way soon, Leo. It may be something big that you have had your eye on for quite some time or something that appeals to your sentimental side.

VIRGO: Cast your analytical nature to the side for a few days, Virgo. Embrace sentimentality and emotion this week, as they will help you make the best decisions.

LIBRA: Libra, you have a lot of energy going into this week, so tackle any assignments early on. By the end of the week your energy levels may dip, so get to work.

SCORPIO: Secrets you have been keeping for some time are ready to come to the surface, Scorpio. These are good secrets, and others will be eager to share them with you.

SAGITTARIUS: Don’t be nervous if you are a little introspective this week, Sagittarius. Use this time to reflect and find answers to some questions that have been on your mind.

FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY

ENJOY A SIMPLE AND SWEET TREAT ELEGANT SPARKLING STRAWBERRIES

Makes about 40 strawberries

1 14-Ounce can sweetened con-densed milk

1 3-Ounce package strawberry-flavored gelatin

2 Cups sweetened flaked coconut11/2 To 2 cups finely chopped walnuts

or pecans40 Blanched slivered almonds2 To 3 drops green food coloring1/2 Cup red decorator sugar, for rolling1/4 Cup green decorator sugar for roll-

ing1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk and

strawberry gelatin, stirring until well blended. Stir in the coconut and chopped nuts, blending well. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to make the mixture

easier to handle.

2. Place the almonds in a small plastic bag. Add the green food coloring to the bag. Seal tightly and shake until the almonds are tinted to resemble

green stems. Remove the almonds from the bag and place them on paper towels to dry.3. Pour the red decorator sugar into a small

custard cup. Pour the green decorator sugar into another small custard cup.

4. Shape the milk mixture into small balls about 3/4 to 1 inch in diameter. Pinch one end of the ball

between the thumb and index finger until it resem-bles a strawberry. Roll the bottom two-thirds of the strawberry in red decorator sugar. Dip the top end of the strawberry in green decorator sugar. Place a green almond into the green end of the strawberry to resemble a stem. Place on waxed paper. Repeat until all strawberries are shaped. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, separating each layer

with a sheet of waxed paper. These candies may be refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1

month.Cook’s note: it is often easier to work with a few

strawberries at a time. Dip about 12 shaped straw-berries into the red decorator sugar and place them on the waxed paper. When all 12 are coated in red,

dip the ends in the green sugar, insert the stems and place them on the waxed paper again. Repeat

until all the mixture is used.
