WILDFIRE THREATENS TOWN

Andrea [email protected]

Princeton knew it had a problem about 6:30 p.m. on Sunday.

The air was suddenly heavy with smoke, large aircraft, and of course, sirens.

The Kamloops Fire Centre, supported by local volun-teer firefighters, was responding to a 182-hectare fire six kilometres north of town.

According to the province’s Wildfire Management Branch dry grass, steep terrain and winds challenged efforts to fight the blaze. Five air tankers were employed in the suppression efforts and RCMP barricaded Princeton-Summerland Road near the fairgrounds.

The Spotlight attempted to access the scene by ATV on the Kettle Valley Rail trail, but was forced away by a thick

wall of smoke that teared the eyes and choked the breath.The fire was considered under control at about 2

a.m. Monday. According to the Wildfire Management Branch, later that day more than 30 firefighters remained on scene, creating a guard around the scene to establish containment, using heavy equipment, a helicopter, and airtankers.

No evacuation orders or alerts were issued, but along Princeton’s main street Sunday night there was much concerned speculation about what might happen. People admitted they had packed bags and were ready to leave at a moment’s notice.

An RCMP officer, turning away traffic just north of town, said in the event of an evacuation first responders would knock on every door, and check every bed.

Princeton CAO Rick Zerr, who was officially notified

about the fire at approximately 8 p.m. Sunday night, said firefighters, police and highway rescue personnel would lead any evacuation.

“We really are prepared for it,” said Zerr. “The fire department has a protocol to follow. If it gets to the point where we have to activate our emergency operations centre I would call the mayor and we would activate it.”

A Kamloops Fire Centre press release indicated the fire was not caused by lightening.

“The fire is suspected to be human caused but the spe-cific cause is under investigation. Despite the temporary respite in weather conditions the fire danger rating in many areas of the Kamloops Fire Centre remains ‘high.’ Warm dry conditions are expected to continue over the next few days, which will further increase the wildfire risk.”

Terry Fox Run a huge success

Andrea DeMeerpublisher@similkameenspotlight.

comPrinceton’s first Terry Fox

Run in four years was an unqualified success.

There were 109 participants in the event held at Veteran’s Square Sunday morning and together they raised $2,300 for cancer research.

That adds up to more run-ners and walkers than in the five previous years when the run was held combined, and almost as much money col-lected as in the three combined previous events.

A delighted Holly Fenrick, run organizer, described the experience as “incredible,” and she admitted to some relief.

“I have to say the night before I didn’t really get a lot of sleep. I was worried no one would come and everything that could go wrong would,”

she said. “When I got there in the morning one of my volun-teers was already there waiting and then people just started coming and then the Posse got there…and everybody had such a good time.”

Mayor Frank Armitage acted as run marshal and RCMP Constable John Leech led the runners in a police cruiser.

Most of the money raised came from pledges, while Terry Fox Run t-shirt sales raised $120 and a coin bin netted another $57.

Fenrick had profuse thanks for her volunteers and support-ers.

Scott Gilbert, manager of Coopers, along with his wife Kristine and daughter Faith, served the hot dogs. Dawn Kasler provided cookies while Nadine McEwen from the Town of Princeton staff and

Lyle Thomas provided music and warmed up the crowd.

Other volunteers cru-cial to the run’s success were Rita Cruerer, Ted Slusar, Chris Fenrick, Gail Madill, NormanTremblay, Lindsey Wozniak, Kelsey Keglovic, Suzanne Holland, Linda Thompson, Doug Pateman, Noelle Roccamatisi, Susan Jakubec and Joanna Nott.

Winners of the draw prizes provided by Ace Hardware were Mary Sol, Zach Jawakse and Val Gervais.

Fenrick said one of the high-lights of the day was when the run was completed and she returned home to call in Princeton’s results to The Terry Fox Foundation office. “I told them how we did and then she said ‘hold on’ and I could hear her calling it outloud to the room and everybody cheered.”

Whatever cease-fire emerg-es from the latest round in the war for control of B.C.’s public school system, the next court battle is ready to proceed.

Lawyers for the provin-cial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation have filed their written submissions to the B.C. Court of Appeal. At issue is whether legislation remov-ing union contract terms that dictated class size and teacher staff levels was a violation of members’ constitutional rights to freedom of association.

When B.C. Supreme Court justice Susan Griffin found that it was, the government changed legislation again. The same judge ordered that struck down and the 2002 contract language reinstated retroactive-ly for every contract since then, imposed or negotiated.

The government says that would create chaos as well as billions in expenses, push-ing out full-day kindergarten and other allocations of space and money that have proceed-ed since union control was removed.

Griffin’s order is stayed pending this appeal. If you think the latest strike has been disruptive, you don’t want to see what this judge’s vision

would look like.Government

lawyers argue that the BCTF’s cons t i t u t iona l right claim is “wrong in law” and amounts to a veto that blocks the province’s ability to legislate in response to changing condi-tions.

“According to the BCTF, legislation may improve on collective agreement entitle-ments but cannot remove them over the objections of the union without violating [the Charter of Rights and Freedoms],” the government’s submission says. “On the BCTF’s theory, col-lective agreement entitlements become constitutionally pro-tected in perpetuity.”

What that would mean to voters is when they throw out an NDP government that hand-ed the keys to the treasury to public sector unions, the unions can veto that too. And when mandated minimum teach-er-librarians sitting in rooms full of paper books become the equivalent of buggy whip weavers, they must remain as long as the union wants.

BCTF’s law-yers submit that the government is wrong in fact as well as law. Its arguments are technical, dwell-ing particularly on the fact that the government didn’t appeal Griffin’s first rul-ing.

For instance, there have actually been two negotiated deals since 2002. The one in 2006 provided five years of raises and a bonus to get the government past the 2010 Olympics, and in 2012 there was a pre-election truce negoti-ated with the help of mediator Charles Jago.

The government argues that re-imposing 2002 conditions would overturn other contracts that were agreed to by the BCTF. BCTF’s lawyers say, in effect, the deleted terms cover-ing working conditions weren’t there to negotiate.

The Coalition of B.C. Businesses has entered the case as an intervener, arguing for the supremacy of elected govern-ments when providing public services.

Its submission notes that

unlike private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector, and some-times eliminated as in the case of police and health care.

“When critical aspects of public policy are jeopardized by employee demands, those aspects could be legislated; where a fiscal downturn or inflationary pressures required austerity measures, they could be implemented through legis-lation; where strikes jeopardize important public services, the legislature could pass back-to-work legislation, and so on.”

It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in starting to do so.

Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East.

Its decades-old instruction to government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money.

One person really can make a

difference It’s incredible, the difference one person can

make.Take Holly Fenrick. Fenrick was the organizer of the so-successful

Princeton Terry Fox Run held Sunday in Veteran’s Square.

Parenthetically she would be the first to point out she wasn’t exactly one person in that regard, that she had a lot of help from some great volunteers.

And there were, in fact, a lot of volunteers and a lot of participants who contributed to the event.

But they were all planning to be somewhere else Sunday morning, until Fenrick came along and decided to revive the Princeton Terry Fox Run after a four-year absence from the community.

In an interview with the Spotlight a month ago Fenrick said she was motivated to start up the run because of her personal admiration for Terry Fox’s courage and determination and because her life, through her sister, has been touched by cancer.

More information about the Princeton run and photos of the event can be found on page three of today’s paper. What that coverage might not convey is the emotion in Veteran’s Square Sunday morning. It was so strong it was palatable. An observer could literally “feel the love.”

The run attracted participants of all ages, abili-ties and backgrounds. There were kids on bikes, families, grandparents in their walking suits and the entire roster of the Princeton Posse. Every single one of them was beaming. There was music, and food, and draws and a lot of money got raised for cancer research.

It started with one person.That’s something to think about, the next time

you identify a need, or have an idea for making something better in your community, your country, or whatever passes for your world. One person really can make a difference.

And it kind of reminds you of that young man struck with cancer, who in 1980 embarked on the Marathon of Hope.

It’s incredible the difference one person can make. AD

Every time I say it, people look at me like…well…like I’m from Ontario.

But I’m going to say it again anyways.It is jaw-droppingly, gobsmackingly

inexpensive to live in Princeton BC.Don’t look at me like that. It’s true.Now is when people nod and say “Oh,

yes, but you are from Toronto” as if only someone who is crazy enough to live in Toronto in the first place would also be nuts enough to pay a street vendor $3 for a 500 ml of spring water that was probably bottled over the mountain in Hope.

I am not, actually, from Toronto. For the last 16 years the DeMeer clan

has lived in a little town just inside the armpit of Ontario tobacco-growing coun-try, called Burford. Burford is about an hour from Toronto by car, yet when it is noon in Toronto it is 1940 in Burford. I always liked that about Burford.

Burford though, is a much more expen-sive place to live and play than Princeton.

A great example is fall fairs. The annu-al agricultural exhibition at Sunflower Downs last weekend was a first-class fam-ily event. I took my youngest son and his two new friends. We stayed for a couple of hours. The kids got rocks from the mineral

society, tested their skill at the dunk tank, petted the animals, rode the monster truck, took home trinkets from the jumble sale table and ate ice cream.

They had a whopper of a good time and it cost me less than $25.

By way of compari-son, I can’t get my fam-ily through the gate of the Burford Fall Fair for $25, and I can’t get them out again for under $100.

Of course the Burford Fall Fair has mid-way rides and the Princeton fair, thank-fully, does not. When you have midway rides at the fair you have carnies. Most people think the name “carnie” is short for carnival worker. It is actually an abbrevia-tion for carnivore.

Friday night I towed the same three kids to the Posse season opener. It was nine dol-lars to get in, and then someone handed me a $10 gift certificate for Ace Hardware. As I stood there puzzling how it was possible that Ace Hardware was paying me a dollar to watch the game, my own

little posse swarmed over the puck toss table – three pucks for five bucks – there was a free candy toss at intermission and Mom had a beer for another $5.

In Ontario arenas they charge you more than that just to sit directly under-neath the heaters.

On a related note, as all my fall and winter clothes are still in boxes an hour from Toronto, I picked up a

Posse hoodie from Jackie at Auto Tac for $35. The last time I bought spirit wear it was a Burford Coyotes sweatshirt. I paid more than twice that AND the Coyotes had a terrible season.

The cost of food seems to concern some people in Princeton.

I get that as when you raise four chil-dren – three of them boys sharing the metabolic rate of an Olympic sprinter – you are constantly concerned about the cost of food.

The truth is food is expensive every-where and it’s getting more so. Between 2007 and 2012 the cost of food in this

country increased by 19%. It wasn’t just a Princeton, BC thing.I can’t get over the milk. Burford Ontario

nestles the border of Oxford County, the official Dairy Capital of Canada. Milk in Princeton is far cheaper than in Oxford. I laugh every time I buy it.

Princeton is pretty darned lucky when it comes to its only grocery store. Cooper’s is a large store relative to the size of the town. Its pricing program is considerate. With a wide offering of brands, there is always a sale price on every staple.

This week I stocked up on Campbell’s soups – $1 a can.

Take it from the mom of a small army. Shop the specials and use your More Rewards card.

If you are still concerned about the cost of entertainment and food in Princeton consider the number of lakes in our back-yard…and our front yard…and the side yard. Rainbow trout are free. Fishing is fun.

Worms can be purchased at several locations in town for $3 a dozen.

Life comes cheap in the town of Princeton

Men who worked at the Nickel Plate Mine high above Hedley are becoming a scarce commodity. Ken Jones, now a robust 84, is one of the few still living in the Similkameen Valley.

Ken’s family moved to Hedley in 1931. Five years later his father built a home on the outskirts of the town. After the massive slide, which destroyed and damaged homes in 1939, he moved the house to a safer loca-tion, away from the mountain.

In 1947 Ken became one of the last students to graduate from the Hedley high school. Then, while pursuing an engi-neering degree at UBC, he worked for the Nickel Plate Mine in summers. His father, Cecil Jones, was the electrical superintendent for the mine and the stamp mill.

Ken worked for the mine full time in 1952. His account of this experience is optimistic, reflecting an upbeat approach to life.

“My pay was $1.00 per hour,” he told me, “that wasn’t bad for the time.” He lived in a bunk-house up top and liked the com-munity established by the mine. “They built quite a few houses,” he said. “There was a beauti-ful community hall, a bowling alley, a pool hall, a weight room and a speed bag for boxers. One day they brought up a Golden Gloves champ from Keremeos. He totally out classed the 3 men who challenged him.”

Ken’s work assignments were primarily underground. “There was a tunnel from the camp,” he says. “We’d get into the skip and go down to the level where we’d be working. The tunnels were about six feet wide and eight feet high. At 30 to 40 degrees

Fahrenheit, they were cold and damp. Everyone wore Stanfield underwear year round. It wasn’t uncomfortable. There were little rooms along the way to leave tools and eat our lunch.”

Ken recalls there were several shafts, much wider than the tun-nels. One was the Dixon Incline, (which historian Doug Cox says was started in 1912 and was named after the company vice president.) It was a permanent shaft starting from the floor of tunnel #4 and sloping down to a depth of 3000 feet. It had a set of double tracks and was, according to Cox, “a great high-way for bringing ore up.”

Most of the time Ken assisted a veteran miner. They would drill 20 or more holes and the miner would place dynamite in them. Occasionally Ken set the charge. After the blasting, for safety reasons the area was left alone for at least 3 hours. Then

a crew cleaned up the rubble.A strict rule forbade use of a

hole in which dynamite had not exploded. This was referred to as a Bootleg. “If the rock sur-face wasn’t properly cleaned,” Ken says, “it could be missed. Sometimes a careless miner was killed.”

At one point, Ken was assigned to work with a miner no one liked. “You won’t last with that guy more than 3 or 4 days,” several workers warned him. “No one ever has. He expects his helper to work too hard.”

But Ken possessed immense determination and the rugged strength of a movie prize fighter. He accepted the warning as a challenge and resolved to out-work the miner. After only a few days of scrambling to match Ken’s torrid pace, the man com-plained, “We’re working too hard. Let’s take it a little easy.”

“Except for the battery pow-ered lights on our helmets,” Ken told me, “there was total dark-ness in the tunnels. One of the dangers was that sometimes you could get a rock on your head.” A large rock hit Ken’s shoulder one day and landed on the back of the miner, injuring him severely. He never worked again.

One day a fellow worker brought his girl friend up to the mine site. It was a mistake. She saw Ken and says, “for me it was love at first sight.” She was a beauty and Ken was equally smitten. Before long he proposed to her and they got married.

After visiting with Ken and Nora in our home, I concluded that their chance meeting at the Nickel Plate Mine had launched them on an exciting life journey which they still enjoy and cel-ebrate to this day.

Marcus Peter Brodie of Princeton was the lucky winner of the Spotlight’s Young Stars Tournament ticket draw, and he was thrilled to receive two tickets to all the games in the Young Stars Tournament.

Angelique Wood This has been a busy summer for most of

us, with the regular summerl crunch when we get all our visitors at the same time while farming, handling tourism and service at a heavier load than the Similkameen “off” season. I am privileged this year to work in Cawston for George Hanson at Seven Stones Winery, where I have learned about wine making and toured many people through our caves where wine is cellared.

There have been a lot of issues to face our community this year and this report will recap the most recent and pressing. I am always happy to answer questions if you would like greater elaboration: [email protected] or 250-499-0503.

Grist Mill: There are ongoing struggles at the Grist Mill, a historic site located in Area G just outside the Keremeos Town boundaries. The Provincial Government funds this site

through the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and Minister Steve Thomson. The Province is working to devolve its responsibilities and has recent-ly launched an RFP process which seeks new operators and a business plan which would create a free-standing un-funded site in the years to come. If you care to weigh in with your feelings about the issue, please contact the Honourable Steve Thomson at [email protected].

Fortis Dam at Princeton: Fortis has announced that the Dam project is not finan-cially viable at this time based on results of project feasibility studies. The proposed 165 metre (541 foot) concrete facility was expected to have useable water storage and deliver between 45 to 65 megawatts of elec-trical capacity along with the associated water management benefits.

re-evaluate the viability of the project in the future based oncustomer demand and market conditions, such as a rise in electrical prices.

Alternate Approval Process (AAP) for a Parks Service in Area G: In Area G we have three distinct communities: Rural Keremeos, Olalla and Hedley with farms and ranches spreading down the highway. A number of issues have arisen over my term which can-not be addressed unless the RDOS creates a bylaw for Parks Service. Briefly:

•In Rural Keremeos, we have issues of transients squatting between Crown Lands, Federal lands (along the river) and RDOS and Keremeos Town boundaries. One approach may be to create a Regional Park which would give us jurisdiction and capacity to enforce bylaws. We could enforce “day use only” bylaws to deal with the campers. The

issue of human waste compromising our water supply must be addressed and we need a regional strategy to do it.

•In Hedley, Woodlie Park is currently functioning with liability insurance covered by the RDOS. A maintenance person is hired yearly to mow the grass and clean the bath-rooms. Without regular funding, this cannot continue.

An average home in this area can expect to see a tax increase of $6.50 yearly to deal

with these issues. If residents do not feel these issues require attention, and do not wish to see their taxes rise at all, they are encouraged to submit their opposition during the AAP process before October 6, 4:30pm. An information booth staffed by a RDOS Rural Projects coordinator will be set up in Hedley during the Pancake Breakfast Sunday September 14th from 8am to 10am to answer your questions on this process.

Penticton Western NewsThere’s fresh hope

for mediated talks to end the B.C. teachers strike after Education Minister Peter Fassbender said both sides are in prelimi-nary talks with vet-eran mediator Vince Ready.

The minister told CBC TV Ready spoke to both B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker and govern-ment negotiator Peter Cameron Thursday and were expected to formally meet.

“He is trying to get the parties close enough where he can play a meaningful role,” Fassbender said of Ready. “He will make that decision.”

By Friday morn-ing, education minis-try officials were only saying that the par-ties had agreed not to comment, and would not confirm talks are underway or describe the status of any ses-sions.

Ready previously began exploratory talks two weeks ago but declared the two sides at impasss and walked away from the table Aug. 30

The latest devel-opments came after Fassbender on Thursday began edg-ing away from from his long-held position not to legislate strik-ing teachers back to work.

“The reality is, government has the

ultimate ability to legislate in any situa-tion,” Fassbender told Canadian Press in an interview when asked if he would open the door to the option. “We want a negoti-ated settlement.”

He had consis-tently vowed not to impose a settlement on teachers, saying a negotiated deal is crit-ical to break the “dys-functional” labour-relations cycle.

Union mem-bers on Wednesday voted 99.4 per cent to approve the B.C. Teachers’ Federation proposal to end their strike if government accepts binding arbi-tration.

F a s s b e n d e r wouldn’t say wheth-er he’s had discus-sions with the pre-mier about recalling the legislature early or how government would respond if the

strike continues into the fall sitting of the house, set for the first week of October.

Premier Christy Clark said she thinks she can get a negoti-ated deal before she travels to India for a trade mission that’s scheduled to start Oct. 9.

I’m very hopeful that schools will be back, in fact, I’m cer-tain schools will be back in session by the time I go to India,” she told reporters.

A slate of other B.C. unions also pledged more than $8.5 million for a teachers’ federation general hardship fund earlier in the week, which will be hand-ed out as loans and grants while teachers carry forward with-out income.

“It seems to me that we’re inching towards them being legislated

back,” said politi-cal watcher Norman Ruff, University of Victoria professor emeritus. “You could argue it’s going to be a short-term necessity, but in the long run it just fuels the problem that has existed for decades.”

The government and union have a long history of struggle over control of educa-tional policy, with the union striking more than 50 times in the past 40 years and at least three settlements

imposed by govern-ment.

But the public’s chief concern isn’t how, but when, the dispute concludes. The government is now seen to hold the key to the deadlock, said political science Prof. Hamish Telford, at the University of the Fraser Valley.

“The public looks at government and says, ‘Well, you do have the ability to solve this, even if you don’t want to pay what the teachers are

asking, you can leg-islate. So it is within your power to do it,” Telford said.

“The government may now be feeling a certain amount of pressure from the public that they’ve got to move on this.”

The legislature is

set to resume on Oct.

6, and although stan-dard business is slated to occur, back-to-work legislation could be introduced and passed quite quickly by the majority B.C. Liberals, said the pro-fessors.

Merrilyn HuyckeArtifacts

We are usually out of town for a week or so at this time of the year, taking a quiet break together but this year, we’ve stayed home for a change. As a result, we were able to attend opening day of the Princeton Fall Fair. It must seem, at first glance, a quaint tradition to urban visitors.

However, I am still amazed and delighted at the whole affair. It comforts me to see that people still know how to grow and preserve good food, how to raise prize winning chickens and how to arrange even the tiniest bouquet into a miniature gem.

We were not able to stay for the whole day but in the time we had, I found myself brows-ingthrough the buildings and pens. There were a few children gathered at the animal enclo-suresand that is exactly where I would have been sixty years ago. The smell of the pony jogged my memory to a time when I was abso-lutely nuts for horses. I was shameless and carried on for months, begging for a pony. I assured my parents that it would be fine in our yard which was rather conveniently located very close to downtown Calgary. We still had a milkman with a horse and wagon, and even better, a horse fountain right in the middle of the intersection where our home was located. I could not see a problem! Alas it was not to be. I had to be satisfied with reading Black Beauty which wasn’t really a bad thing, although it did make me long all the more for a little pony like Meg.

I left the pens and the pungent smell of sheep and goats and wandered into the pro-duce and home canning and fresh produce build-ing. There is something cheery and encourag-ing about a large room full of vegetables in top form. I have been a gar-dener in my time and I know the work involved in growing vegetables. I

also remember the pure delight experiencing the snap of the first bite of a carrot pulled from the earth and swished a few times on the surround-ing carrot tops. I stopped to talk to Amanda (you know Amanda, I’m sure). We admired her pickles, jams and jellies and discussed how good it makes a person feel to know how to provide for the family in such a healthful way. We talked about the way everyone can participate and be included in the ritual. Amanda pointed out that she and her mom are studying edible flowers and are always looking for new ideas. Knowing how to hunt, fish and harvest wild foods gives a person confidence for whatever the future may hold.

My next delightful surprise was to discov-er the first class pencil sketches and paintings done by some of our Princeton teens. There is some serious talent here in town. Of course you can imagine that tickles my fancy! When you see young people that persistent in getting it right and working out the details, you know

they are lifers.My next pleasure

was the building that held the works of our local quilters. There were several very large quilts as well as smaller examples. These ladies work together on proj-ects and many of their blankets are donated to folks who need comfort in their lives.

When I see them setting up at Riverside Centre to discuss and sew, I wish I had more time in my life. It seems to be sucha natural, nurturing thing to do. The quilts themselves are long-lived and must carry good vibes with them wherever they go.

Just before lunch, we left for an afternoon at the lake and a celebra-tory anniversary dinner in Penticton. You know something? It was a very good day.

Events like Fall Fair are like an anchor for me. But the very best part is to see that there are young people who still get a kick out of all those old-fashioned things like we saw on Saturday. Everything old is new again, eh?

Forest fire help tops communities’ wish listBy Tom Fletcher

Black PressComing through

one of the most expen-sive forest fire seasons in the province’s his-tory, the B.C. govern-ment is being asked to renew its fund for local governments to create safe zones around their communities.

A resolution to extend wildfire pre-vention funding tops the list for the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, set for Sept. 22-26 in Whistler. It was sponsored by the Okanagan-Similkameen Regional District, where fire

crews are battling the latest major forest fire near Princeton.

The province’s wildfire prevention fund was established 10 years ago in the wake of the damag-ing 2003 fire season, with $37 million for a cost-sharing program. Another $25 million was provided in 2011 and that money has all been committed for local forest fuel man-agement projects.

The B.C. govern-ment estimates it will spend $350 million on wildfire control by the end of this season. That was exceeded

in 2003 and in 2009, the most costly season for the province with $382 million spent.

Other resolutions given priority by the UBCM executive:

• Langley City is calling on the province to provide a cost recov-ery model for medi-cal assistance calls to its fire rescue service. Nearly four out of five calls received are for medical assistance. In response to a previous request, the province told UBCM its local firefighters are not required to respond to medical calls.

• The City of Victoria wants to discuss the prov-ince’s changes to the Agricultural Land Commission. Nelson, Coldstream and the Central Kootenay Regional District have presented simi-lar resolutions, calling for more consultation before changes are implemented.

• Northern and central B.C. munici-palities object to the province’s proposal to cap industrial tax rates for properties used in liquefied natural gas developments. The

B.C. government has complained previously about high industrial taxes imposed on the forest products indus-try.

•The province’s new recycling regula-tions have prompted a resolution on behalf of small communi-ties without recycling programs. The Fraser-Fort George Regional District is calling for recycling collection services to be offered wherever fees are being collected from retail-ers for packaging and printed paper prod-ucts.

The Princeton Chamber of Commerce kicked off the 2014-15 season with a meeting on Sept. 4. The Chamber Board and Manager are preparing to grow and increase our pres-ence and interactions in the business com-munity.

Keith Olsen, the Board Secretary, has decided to step down. The Chamber thanked Keith for his past service and wish him well in the future. Audrey Blanchette (Everything Pets) was appointed as a Director, and Barbara Buchewsky will assume the duties of Secretary.

The Chamber will conduct a Director training session and a strategic planning session in the next month. Directors will clarify their roles and responsibilities and the planning session will create a vision for what the Chamber Board hopes to accomplish in the short and long term, and to establish goals and accountabilities around that vision.

The recent busi-ness get together in the Town Square was well attended and MLA Jackie Tegart spoke from the heart about her connection to our community and in particular to mining, where several members of her fam-ily worked over the past 40 years.

The Chamber will host our 2nd annual Community Winter/

Christmas Dinner on Thursday, December 4, 2014 at the Legion Hall. Mark the date on your calendar. Watch for more news to come around the Annual Christmas Light up!

The Business Advisory Committee requested an update from the Council liai-

son with regard to strategic planning by the Town and request-ed that the three areas identified by the Business Advisory Team earlier in the year, be included in the Town’s strategic plan. They are:

1. What is the marketing plan for the Industrial Park?

2. What can be done to beautify the downtown and Highway 3 to increase visitors stopping in Princeton versus driv-ing right through?

3. What is the Town doing to make it easier to do business with and to provide amenities and ser-vices to attract and

grow the population, including doctors, nurses, and other pro-fessionals, and skilled workers?

For the past several fridays, Ace Hardware has hosted a free barbecue for their cus-tomers and members of the community. New Ace customer service clerk Stephanie Parker (who was until recently the town’s bylaw enforcement officer) and John Haigh, well known local businessman and volunteer, took time at a recent barbecue for a chat and photograph.

The Eagle’s Eye Outdoor Terrace on top of Kicking Horse Mountain (elev. 7700 ft) with its stunning views of mountain peaks was the magic place where Katarina Paz Henry (originally from Princeton, BC) and Michael R. Amann (originally from Sundre, Alberta) exchanged wed-ding vows. Afterwards, the happy couple donned their cycling attire and headed down the moun-tain on their mountain bikes to the reception at Whitetooth Grill where guests from B.C, Texas, Alberta, and the Yukon joined them in a great cel-ebration.

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE POSSE!Andrea DeMeer

[email protected] was all about the Posse

this weekend with two exciting home matches, a major fundraiser, and three additions to the line up.

The Posse gave up a two-goal lead in front of a near-sold out crowd in the season opener Friday night losing 4-2 to the Golden Rockets. Princeton goals were scored by Kyle Bergh of Gibsons and Tyler Ehlers of Penticton. Assists were recorded by Connor Sloan of West Kelowna, Thomas Cankovic of Whistler and Bryan Kromm of Naramata. Spencer Huff of Penticton made 32 saves, half of them during the first period to give the Posse an early advantage.

Newly signed Stephen Heslop of Victoria took the crease Sunday

against Chase Heat, making 28 stops as the Posse edged by the visitors 4-3. Captian Kurtis Klinger of Santa Rosa, California notched the first two goals, with Kromm and Eden Dubchak of Penticton rounding off the scoring for the Posse. Kromm also contributed an assist, along with Ehlers (2), Colton St. John of Ancorage, Alaska and Destin Robinson of Ponko, Alberta. Rough play was the biggest threat to the Posse during the match up, as the team clocked 16 penalty minutes and gave up all three goals while shorthanded.

In addition to Heslop, the Posse announced this weekend it signed affiliate players Craig Thompson and Morton Johnston to fulltime positions with the club.

Page 17: Similkameen Spotlight, September 17, 2014

Similkameen Spotlight September 17, 2014 www.similkameenspotlight.com A17ENTERTAINMENT

CAPRICORN: Family needs take precedence over your obligations at work, Capricorn. Higher-ups will just have to be patient if they want to keep you on as an employee.

AQUARIUS: Aquarius, everyone expects you to provide advice, but this week you may be in need of guidance. It could be because you have been tackling so many projects lately.

PISCES: Few things escape your attention, Pisces. However, this week you can expect to be happily surprised by good news.

ARIES: Aries, you can have all of the inspiration in the world, but without some practical application, your idea will stall. Spend some time thinking things through.

TAURUS: You are torn between two choices, Taurus. Family matters are on one side, and work responsibilities are on the other. It may take a few days to work out a decision.

GEMINI: Gemini, it’s difficult to contain all of your enthusiasm, so share your excitement and happiness with others. Try tackling some other people’s projects.

CANCER: Cancer, you will be front and center in the days to come. Don’t be nervous, as you’re fully capable of handling the extra attention. Enjoy the spotlight while it lasts.

LEO: Leo, you will be full of energy this week. Use this energy and enthusiasm to your advantage, tackling projects you have let go unfinished but want to get done.

VIRGO: Virgo, immerse yourself in activities that put you first over the next few days. Whether it’s a date or simply alone time, enjoy it and start tending to your needs.

LIBRA: Libra, getting back into the swing of things after a long vacation can be challenging. But you will have no problem getting back into a groove and getting all of your work done.

SCORPIO: Try turning something you enjoy doing for fun into a career, Scorpio. Loving what you get paid to do is a key to a happy life, so figure out a way to make that happen.

SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, you may be adept at finding an easy way around a difficult thing, but sometimes taking the hard road offers good life lessons along the way.

Rika Ruebsaat On Saturday September 6t nine

hikers from the Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists visited Illal Meadows just below Jim Kelly Peak. It was a perfect day for hiking with blue skies, unlimited visibility and cool air in the morning when you’re sweating uphill. The drive to Illal Creek was a scenic tour of the hundreds of miles of logging roads that snake through the Cascades northwest of Princeton. The last three kilometres along the creek to the trailhead demand-ed high clearance and seasick pills as we dipped and dove through the culverts dug into the road.

The first hour of the hike was through forest on a trail cushioned by conifer-ous needles. The forest here is almost coastal in character with Douglas fir

and cedar trees and a complete absence of pine trees. After about an hour and a half we emerged onto the sub-alpine Illal meadows festooned with pictur-esque stands of krummholz and moss- and flower-lined rivulets. It was like a celestially designed Japanese garden. Views to the south and east included the Thompson Plateau and the mountains of Cathedral Park. We had lunch next to one of the many lakes that festoon the meadows. Jim Kelly Peak loomed over the lake providing satisfying echoes to our yodels.

After lunch we headed along the western escarpment of Illal Meadows with stunning views of the Cascade Mountains and glimpses of the Coast Mountains beyond. Below us in the val-ley lay a turquoise alpine lake surround-

ed by inviting rich green meadows. We continued meandering through Illal meadows treading on heather and low-bush blueberries whose leaves glowed red in the sunlight. We encountered another lake where four of the sweat-ier hikers dove into the ice-cold water. As we looped around heading back towards the downward trail we lingered on the meadows to fill bags and yogurt tubs with blueberries. We all got purple blotches on our bums from sitting on the three-inch high berry bushes. On the way back through the forest we added huckleberries to our stashes.

It was a glorious, happy day and with the profusion of berries to add to the enjoyment we plan to make it an annual event.

Naturalists enjoy hiking trip and berry picking

The Vermilion Forks Field Naturalist Society plans on making the hike at Jim Kelly Peak an annual event.
