24/7 ER care demanded MLA Harry Lali joined a public discussion about a petition urging the government to provide a 24/7 emergency department in Princeton Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

More than 600 people have signed a petition for 24/7 emergency care in Princeton since it began circulating around a week ago. The petition’s organizer Nienke Klaver hopes more than 2,000 people will add their signatures by April 23 so the petition has time to be tabled into legislature by Harry Lali, MLA for Fraser-Nicola. Klaver and helpers are spreading the petition to other communities around Princeton, including Coalmont, Tulameen, Allison Lake and Missezula. Once Klaver has enough signatures, she will be giving the petition to Princeton town council, the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen, the Minister of Health and others. “I want to at least bring awareness to the politicians that this is not a good situation for Princeton, especially with the industry around us and a major highway going through town,” Klaver said. “It’s a dangerous situation. It’s always a matter of money, and we’re going to try to push for more money.” The government, Interior Health and the College of Surgeons and Physicians are the ones who can change the way the hospital is run, said Princeton resident Ed Staples. The petition asks the Minister of Health to bring back a fully functioning hospital with a 24/7 emergency room.

2012 budget set, residential property taxes increase Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

ZigZag Trail reconstruction, wastewater treatment plant upgrades, town hall relocation and annual paving top the list of Princeton’s 2012 budget. Overall residential property taxes increased nine per cent from 2011, while business property taxes decreased by 14 per cent. The provincial government awarded $180,000 for upgrades to the ZigZag Trial. Provincial funding and money from the Federal

Weather Watch

Gas Tax Fund give construction a $225,000 total budget. Wastewater treatment upgrades will cost around $400,000 and include safety fencing, de-sludging of the septic pits and improvements of the campground sewage system. Relocation or renovation of town hall was identified in February as council’s number one priority, which has been slated at $350,000. Town hall employees need a larger place to work, said deputy mayor Jason Earle in a previous Spotlight article. Annual paving of roads in Princeton will cost $140,000.

Diamond Dinner dazzles ladies Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

Mr. John Haayer, the local host with the most, along with his merry band of gentleman volunteers held the 10th annual Diamond Dinner this past Saturday, treating 120 lucky ladies to a semi-formal dining affair. The gentlemen volunteers waited upon the ladies throughout the evening, serving them their dinner, drinks and escorting them to receive their prizes and a single, longstemmed rose. After dinner, the party continued next door in the lounge with music and dancing—classic entertainment provided by Diane Ball. For 10 years, the Royal Canadian Legion, Mr. John Haayer and his volunteers have put on the dinner as a fundraiser to continue the Legion’s efforts to provide assistance to our Veterans and the community, as well as providing a first class evening for ladies to enjoy.

Highway 3 addresses cause confusion Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

officer is racing to the scene of an accident. This has also led to U-turns by ambulances and missed calls. “It would make more sense if Hedley was the ‘0 point’ so when people passed the town they would realize why the direction was changing. “It’s pretty common for the numbers to go up and down, east and west of a town.” Often new ambulance drivers are sent to rural areas like Princeton or Keremeos to do their training, so they don’t know the area well, Wood said. Address numbers are repeated along Highway 3, changing up and down at towns along the way. If callers don’t give detailed directions to their house - such as the nearest town or landmark - it is difficult for ambulance dispatchers to tell where they are, Wood said. She urges everyone to give as detailed directions as possible to avoid confusion. “It’s a real problem. So far I don’t know of a fatality because of it, but it could happen.”

The director of Area G is asking the Ministry of Transportation to do something about the address numbers along Highway 3 near Princeton, Hedley and Keremeos that can be confusing for ambulance drivers and police officers. “The main problem is that numbers increase in value from either side of Hedley (from Princeton to the west and Keremeos to the east) but the place they ‘change direction’ is not the town but 10 kimolmetres west at the Stirling Creek Bridge,” said Angelique Wood, Regional District OkanaganSimilkameen Area G director. She knows of two incidents within the last five months where first responders and ambulances were unable to find the victim needing help, and she said there are likely more instances she is unaware of. Rather than placing blame on emergency services or dispatch, she would like the Ministry of Transportation to address the ‘oddities’ of the numbering. There many be a rationale for that location to be the place for the numbers to switch directions, but it isn’t marked, she said. “A driver unfamiliar with the area passes from properties marked in the 3000s to properties marked in the 6200s in less than a kilometre.” Since the numbers - apart from at the switch spot - correspond roughly to the kilometres travelled, this leads to a great Angelique Wood deal of confusion, particularly if A map showing how addresses can be confusing along Highway 3. the ambulance driver or police

Princeton basketball stars Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Princeton’s senior girls basketball team weren’t the only hometown team to do well in championships. A look back to 1938 shows Princeton senior boys basketball team won the Interior championships for the second time. They then went on to beat Chemainus in the Coast championships. The team played well together, accommodating for each player’s strengths and weaknesses. They beat Penticton 26-20 before the Interior championships - a defeat tough to come by. “The Penticton game was said to be one of the

smartest intermediate battles ever staged in the Okanagan. By virtue of their triumphs on the south, Princeton then met Vernon - winners of the northern loop - to decide the Interior title,” says the school’s yearbook. Princeton “hopelessly outclassed” the northern squad by a score of 48-16. “The first few minutes of play left no doubt as to the final outcome, and after piling up a 31-5 lead at half-time, the Princeton boys spend the remainder of the game improving their plays,” the yearbook added. The boys’ great playing was due to consistency, the Similkameen Star reported at the time.

Brandon Ghiloni was jogging home on a trail near downtown around midnight April 7 when he says he was chased and attacked by a deer. The deer’s hoof left a large bruise on the inner part of his left arm. The 17-year-old went to see his doctor, who said his tendons and nerves were badly bruised.

“He first thought a horse was running behind him, but turned around to see a deer chasing him,” Ghiloni’s mother said. It startled him and he ended up falling. He then yelled loudly to scare the deer away. Ghiloni said this is the first time he has been chased by a deer and is glad his arm is bruised instead of being broken.

ZigZag Trail could include steel stairs Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Construction of Princeton’s new upgraded ZigZag Trail is slated to cost $225,000, and could include steel stairs that go straight up the hill in addition to regular zigzagging stairs. The new ZigZag Trail, which connects the benches to downtown near Cooper’s, will replace the out-of-commission trail that was destroyed by a runaway truck two years ago. Around $17,000 of ICBC money, in addition to provincial money awarded and Gas Tax funding will make the trail much more elaborate than the old one. No local taxes, such as property taxes, will be used for the trail, said chief administrative officer

BASKETBALL Girls can play too “It was in floor generalship that they stood out over Princeton teams of the past, that have come so close, only to fail in the pinch,” the newspaper said. The game against Chemainus was close until the last ten minutes. “Chemainus had style and sporting blood to vindicate their gameness in coming 400 miles for a ridiculous guarantee. But on the series, smooth stylists though they certainly were, they had not the finish or determination to beat the locals,” the newspaper added. But it wasn’t just the boys who had a good basketball team. This year’s senior girls basketball team - placing third in provincial championships - followed in the footsteps of Princeton’s team 74 years ago. The 1938 Princeton High School girls team defeated Hedley 28-12, but were eliminated by Oliver in the South Okanagan Tournament. “The... game was featured by some very smart shooting-headwork on the part of Beryl Lawrence and Margaret Brown. These two girls show great promise in developing into real players,” the yearbook stated. Thank you to Noreen Pringle for providing this information.

The provincial government announced in March it will give $180,000 for the trail. “This will promote better year-round access between the residential area and downtown for residents, while offering spectacular views for visitor to the community,” said Deputy Mayor Jason Earle at the time.

SpotlightOPINION

Doctors will stay away from Princeton Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Interior Health - the authority responsible for recruiting doctors to Princeton - has a problem it can’t easily fix. Princeton desperately needs another doctor to help with on-call emergency department work. But the problem is, there isn’t enough patients in town for another doctor to make a living. I spoke with a doctor for the April 11 Spotlight who confirmed this. We have three doctors here already. One does on-call emergency department work anytime, the second only does it during daytime hours, while the third doesn’t do it at all. Since the other two doctors aren’t willing to do on-call work, a gap is left in service. This gap has led to Interior Health announcing Princeton Hospital’s emergency department will close from midnight to 8 a.m. Monday to Thursday starting May 1. Princeton doesn’t have a problem with patients finding a regular doctor. The problem is filling oncall ER shifts. But a doctor can’t make a living by just manning an emergency room - they need patients. So why would a doctor choose Princeton if there aren’t enough patients for him/her? It’s hard enough getting a doctor to work in a rural town that has patients seeking a regular doctor. It will be (nearly) impossible for Princeton to find a new doctor the way things are now. There has been a lot of talk about rural towns in Canada not being able to find doctors - all with valid points. But Princeton isn’t simply looking to attract a doctor to this small but pretty place in the Okanagan. We need a doctor who is willing to work with not enough patients (which isn’t going to happen). With hundreds of small communities in B.C., doctors won’t pick Princeton. Other towns have patients that will line up at a new doctor’s door. Princeton already has enough doctors, they’re just not working on-call emergency department shifts. This is why Interior Health representatives say they will re-look at Princeton Hospital’s ER in another year - they don’t know what to do until another doctor retires or starts to do (more) on-call work. They tell me the two older doctors in town are valuable members of the community. I don’t doubt this for a minute. It’s rare to find doctors, especially these days, who want to work in a small town and people have told me they are an asset to the community. But something needs to be done about our hospital.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let customer service go down the drain Dear Editor, Recently I attended one of our local businesses to return equipment for a second visit that had not been repaired correctly on the first visit. Parts were added that I did not request and I was not notified if I would like this change. Things that I had requested to be removed, then others I needed added, apparently were not done, which I discovered only when I returned home. This equipment did not work and could not do what was expected. Got home, excited that I could â&#x20AC;&#x153;get back to it,â&#x20AC;? this was not the case. Managed to post the first day but after thatâ&#x20AC;Ś I had made a list of issues plaguing this â&#x20AC;&#x153;new/ usedâ&#x20AC;? equipment. I contacted his assistant, and had a few heated conversations with her. Just for your information I am well acquainted with his assistant. She proceeded to tell me the procedure of the repair. This made me laugh as my requests for changes and additions had not been fol-

lowed at all. Started going over a long list of items that need to be repaired and to find out if my equipment was going to be repaired here . My equipment was whisked to the back work area, part of my equipment was thrown across the shop, some unprofessional language was directed at me, and the offensive â&#x20AC;&#x153;slangâ&#x20AC;? continued directly at me. I was asked, by the owner, if I had ever worked in an office, why I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. (I actually managed an office and quite efficiently I might add.) This was one of the polite sections of the conversation. The old parts were reinstalled and I was told loudly never to come back. Oh and for your information my original equipment doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work now either. Worked fine when I took it inâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;just slow. In total, two hundred dollars had been the agreed upon price for the service I had requested. I paid for service that was not completed. I had paid a cash deposit in

advance and cash payment when I picked up my equipment. This meant the bill was paid in full. I am left with no recourse to get my funds back for services not provided. I had no records of this transaction of lack thereof. Going to court would not be worth the expense or the stress. I was refunded the other hundred dollars, half of the money I had paid. I requested a receipt. This prompted the response I should be paying another $23.20 to make the bill paid in full for services provided. Just a note, the receipt I did request does not describe to me, what work was done. My response to this was not for the faint of heart. Arrangements have been made to have the repairs done out of town. I am still out $100.00 and my old equipment does not work. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you just love customer service!

Who is behind the 2011 robocalls? Dear Editor, Who is behind the recent uproar in the House of Commons over the robocalls that were made during the 2011 election that gave Prime Minister Stephen Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minority government a solid majority over nine months ago? The Liberals were reduced to 34 seats in Parliament, while their party leader and official opposition leader Michael Ignatieff lost his Toronto Seat he had won in 2006 to a conservative candidate. He swiftly resigned and left the Liberal Party without a leader. The Liberals were reduced to third party status. Three days later Ignatieff was hired for one year to influence the students of Toronto University. (He turns 65 in May). His friend of over 30 years from Harvard University, Bob Rae, became the interim leader of the Liberal Party. With both Jack Layton, Leader of the NDP, and Ignatieff vying for the position of Prime Minister of Canada and taking up residence at 24 Sussex Drive, the Liberals were humiliated by being replaced by the NDP as the official opposition in Parliament in 2011. The Liberalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s piggy bank is dry so decided to move the date of their annual convention from May to January 14, 2012.

The hopes of reviving their party is so slim they had to come up with a new game plan. What could that be? I watch the websites for Ignatieff and the Liberal Party and was shocked to see Iggy at the convention. They all seemed to be slap happy but disappointed in not lining up a prospective new liberal leader.It was very interesting to see Ignatieff given the opportunity to address the members. He turned from the podium and pointed to a long row of young people standing along the wall of the platform whom he said were under the age of 30. He proudly boasted about having brought all those new members to inject some young life into the Liberal Party. Bob Rae thanked him but there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the expected applause from the audience. Now I have to start connecting the dots. I recalled the incident at Guelph University during the Election Campaign. Jack Layton was infuriated to find that Ignatieff had an Elections Canada voting box set up for liberals only. He wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow any brochures or Election Candidates from other political parties. Layton got some media attention and stated he was going to make a complaint to Elections Canada Officials about certain violations of the Elections Act and threatened to sue Ignatieff.

Two Young Life members serve food at a fundraiser held at the Legion on April 11. The group supports teens in Princeton. Young Life thanks the community for itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support of the fundraiser.

In a Letter to the Editor that I wrote in Feb. 25, 2009 I expressed my concerns about Ignatieff who had been a history professor at UBC for two years plus a stint at Toronto University but he had no political experience or knowledge of politics. I put a question to the readers then and it is worthy of repeating today, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Has Michael Ignatieff been positioned in Canada to destroy our democratic system instead of putting the best interests of Canadians first and foremost?â&#x20AC;? That is what the opposition parties are accusing PM Stephen Harper of doing with the robocalls - in their vile anger. I also repeat my warning that Michael Ignatieff is worth watching in the future.

With this step, the Similkameen Spotlight joins scores of paidcirculation community newspapers in cities large and small across the country that are recognizing the value of their online content, Spotlight associate publisher Lisa Carleton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our next-generation products, such as our online content and e-editions, play an important part of our future,â&#x20AC;? Carleton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will deliver the news and information to readers when they want

it, where they want it and, most importantly, how they want it.â&#x20AC;? While recognizing the value of the unique, local content created by the newsroom staff at the Similkameen Spotlight, Carleton also appreciates the realities of a free-access Internet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We understand that news outside of what our local reporters generate can be had elsewhere and for free, but there are literally thousands of such stories each day,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stories written by our staff are uniquely Princeton; there is an inherent value in that - we appreciate it, or print subscribers appreciate it - and it should be recognized in all facets of our industry, including the emerging online component.â&#x20AC;? Subscribers will enjoy privileges that include ability to forward stories via email or social media accounts, participate in online discussions and access all content. Non-subscribers still will have free digital access to limited areas, such as provincial news, our web siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s front page and section fronts, blogs, classifieds and obituaries, Carleton said. And when Breaking News happens locally, that too will be available to all site visitors at no charge. The Spotlightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s allaccess paid premium print and online model represents next-generation thinking for the newspaper industry, Carleton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frankly, our industry could have adopt-

ed this paid-premium online approach years ago, but the thinking was always on page views and unique site visits,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all thought that, the more circulation you had - in this case, page views - the more desirable for advertisers. But people utilize advertising on the Internet differently.â&#x20AC;? She said the evolution to valuing online content is â&#x20AC;&#x153;simply another tool in our kit. We have always been a media company.â&#x20AC;? Carleton has been reticent to charge for online content, considering it may impact page views.

EMERGENCY - MLA joins hospital discussion Last week Interior Health announced Princeton Hospital’s emergency department would close from midnight to 8 a.m. Monday to Thursday starting May 1. The closures are expected to last around a year. The petition reads: “As residents of Princeton and area, we the undersigned are very concerned about the recent closures of our emergency facilities at the Princeton Hospital. Princeton is a rural, resource-based community, with a major highway going through town. We ask that you honour your commitment to ‘provide quality, appropriate and timely health services to British Columbians’ and bring back a fully functioning hospital with a 24/7 emergency room.” Princeton’s two per cent population drop from 2006 to 2011 - despite the mine opening last year - was caused by, in part, Lisa Carleton/Spotlight by hospital emergency room closures, said Mayor Fred Thomas Organizers of the “Save Our Hospital” petition stand outside Cooper’s on April 13 collecting signatures for 24/7 emergency department care in Princeton. in a previous Spotlight article.

Another is on-call during the day, but not at night, while the other doesn’t do emergency department work at all. The key to attracting doctors to small communities like Princeton is by training them in rural medicine, Lali said. “Even though British Columbia as a whole does not have a shortage of doctors, there is a shortage of doctors in certain communities, most of them rural,” he said, adding many doctors prefer to stay in large cities because it allows them to practice everything they’ve learned in school. Earle said Interior Health needs to take more responsibility for Princeton’s hospital, and not leave it up to the town. Princeton town council has had a difficult time getting in touch with Interior Health, he added. “We are committed to work Michaela Garstin/Spotlight with Interior Health, not for A copy of a petition circulating Princeton asking the Minister of Interior Health.” Health to bring back 24/7 emergency room service.

It’s that time of the year again - tax time. Filing taxes can be difficult, especially for seniors who have to take into account many different aspects. It’s important to be prepared and let the person doing your taxes know exactly what you want. For seniors on disability - or anyone else with a long-term disability - the following information may come in handy. To qualify for the disability tax credit, B.C. residents must meet the three following conditions: 1. Must have an impairment that is prolonged, which means it has lasted or is expected to last for a continuous period of at least a year 2. The impairment in physical or mental functions must be severe and it must restrict him or her all or substantially all of the time. 3. The severe and prolonged impairment must be certified using Form T2201, Disability Tax Credit Certificate, by a qualified practitioner. On Form T2201 a qualified practitioner must: provide details of the applicable impairment on pages 3 to 8; and certify the effects of an impairment and the duration on page 9. The government does not consider someone’s ability to work when determining eligibility for the disability tax credit. If someone qualifies for the disability tax credit, he or she may be able to claim the disability amount (a non-refundable tax credit used to reduce income tax payable) on his or her income tax and benefit return.

cations to your home must exceed $2000, or the extensive physical assistance must be regular, ongoing and exceed $150 per month. You purchased your home on or after January 1, 2006, with structural modifications completed by a previous owner, where the modifications met your needs as a disabled person and have a value exceeding $2000. You get disability assistance, hardship assistance or a supplement under the BC Employment and Assistance for Persons with Disabilities Act. To qualify for the grant, the home owner must be the one receiving the assistance. The additional grant is unavailable on homes assessed at $949,000 or more. For more information and an application, visit www.sbr.gov.bc.ca/hog or refer to the brochure Home Owner Grant Program. You can also call 1-888-355-2700. Property tax deferment program

Persons with a disability may be eligible for the Property Tax Deferment Program. This low-interest loan program allows qualifying registered property owners to defer paying their yearly property taxes. If you own your home and are a disabled person, you can apply if you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, have lived in British Columbia for at least one year prior to applying; are living in your home; and have and maintain a minimum equity (after deducting the upper limit of all outstanding mortgages, lines of credit and other charges in your home) of 25 per cent of the current assessed value determined by BC Assessment. For detailed information, visit www.sbr. gov.bc.ca/rpt and click on the “Persons with a Disability” link or call 250-387-0555. Information taken from the Government of Canada website.

Harvards join Princeton annual airshow Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Another military aircraft has been added to the lineup at the Princeton International Air Show this summer. The iconic North American Harvard, a Second World War air force trainer, returns to Princeton on July 21. “Their distinctive radial engine sounds will be heard throughout the valley as no less than four Harvards join the 2012 air show,” said the event’s newsletter.

The McMann brothers Keith and Vic - who race vintage Second World War aircrafts - will also be on site. The brothers take part in the annual National Championship Air Races in Reno, Nevada. The Harvard was first flown in 1935. The cockpits were originally open to the elements, but the United States Air Force asked for them to be closed instead. More than 20,000 airframes were built in California, Texas, Montreal, Fort Frances, Ontario

and Australia. After World War 2 the Harvard was relegated to armament training and reserve squadron use, as the more modern Mk.IV came along, according to the Princeton Air Show website. At the end of WW2, Harvard Mk.II’s were used for Naval training in Nova Scotia. The Canadian Museum of Flight - a museum dedicated to restoring Canada’s aviation history - will also be returning this year. The Harvards join a jelly beantheme stunt airplane. Pilot Kent Pietsch’s act includes a dead-stick routine from 6,000 feet and a rooftop landing on a moving RV in his Jelly Belly-sponsored airplane. He is also known for a comedy act that features a detached airleron and a wingtip-scraping pass down the runway.

Put an end to violence against women April 15 to 21 marks “Prevention of Violence Against Women Week” — local social justice student at Princeton Secondary, Allana Michaud provides some all important information Allana Michaud Social justice student - PSS

This week was created to raise awareness in regards to violence against women. Women can experience many different forms of abuse including; physical, mental or emotional, financial and sexual. Every year, hundreds of women across Canada are seriously injured or killed due to physical violence exacted upon them by their partners. Studies indicate that most cases of abuse are not reported. There are many resources and people who can help women should they find themselves in an abusive situation. Transition Houses; These houses provide safe, temporary shelter for women and their children who are fleeing from abuse. These shelters include lodging and food. The government funds transition houses in 57 communities throughout British Columbia. (B.C.) Safe Homes; These homes provide short term, emergency shelter and are usually found in communities where transition homes do not exist. These homes can be a private home, hotel unit or rental apartment where women can stay while they are being helped to access longer term supports. The government funds 26 safe homes in 25 communities throughout B.C. Second Stage Housing; This housing provides a longer term housing following a stay in a transition

or safe home. The government funds nine second stage houses in six communities across the province. Counselling programs are available for women and their children. The programs help to deal with the trauma caused by abuse. The government funds 102 counseling programs for women and children in 86 communities throughout B.C.—90 programs in 87 communities for children ages three to 18. Fifty-four communities in B.C., have access to 54 outreach services which assist women in accessing the services they require. Thirteen multicultural services are available in 10 communities to respond to the diverse language and cultural needs of women, by helping them in 20 different languages. Information on services available can be found at the Ministry of Community Services website, http://www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/victimservices/ If needed, emergency information and referrals are available through: Victim Link 1-800-563-0808 or in the emergency pages of the local phone book.

BUDGET - Business taxes must not act as deterrent: Council “The system of property taxation provides a stable and consistent source of revenue for many services that are difficult or undesirable to fund on a user-pay basis,” said information provided by the Town of Princeton. “These include services such as fire protection, bylaw enforcement, libraries and street lighting.” Council is trying to increase taxes paid by businesses through growth and development, while making sure businesses can still operate effectively and not be a deterrent to business wanting to come to Princeton. For detailed information about the 2012 budget, see the Town of Princeton website.

Get ready for PSS Family Fair Mystery man of the week Contributed editor@similkameenspotlight.com

April 26 will mark the 61st anniversary of the Princeton Secondary School Family Fair. The fair raises funds for bursaries for the graduating class of Princeton Secondary School. Last year we were able to award over 27 bursaries of $300 each to help with the cost of post secondary schooling. The community has been very supportive in the past and once again we are asking for your support for this year’s graduating class. While you are at the fair make sure you check out the art show in the school bandroom. We are hoping to have a good

display of artwork from students at John Allison, Vermilion Forks and Princeton Secondary School. The baking table will be offering Mr. O’Malley’s cooking class’s tasty cinnamon buns. These sell out fast, so get there early to purchase these freshly made buns. We will also have a white elephant sale, books, baking and more. The ever popular games for the younger members in the family will be manned by the Class of 2012. Tea will be served in the PSS cafeteria, so you can plan a break from your shopping and meet friends for refreshments while being served by the 2011 Princeton Ambassadors.

Tickets are now available for the popular “Taste of Princeton” raffle which has ONE prize of several gift certificates to many of Princeton restaurants. Tickets are available from any Grad or at the Fair. The draw will take place at 3:00p.m. on April 26th. 2012. We are still looking for household articles you may wish to donate. We appreciate all “garage sale” items (no used clothing please), toys and puzzles, plants, books, jewellery and handicrafts – preferably in good clean condition. As well we need donations of breads, buns and baking. Articles may be dropped off at Princeton Secondary School or call Tracey for pick-up at 2957215.

Do you know this man? Look at the clues and check back next week for the answer. - His working days before retiring to Princeton were spent in sawmills at the Coast and in the Interior. - He is a descendent of early Princeton settlers. - He is an avid reader of all things scientiﬁc. - He has trained military personnel wood’s survival techniques. Good luck!

SpotlightLIFESTYLES

From bootleggers to the barracks in time for cottage pie When I joined the navy I was immediately sent to H.M.C.S. Cornwallis, a large navel training base a few miles from Digby, nova Scotia. Which was disappointing for me since one of the reasons I joined the navy in the first place, was to get out there and see the world through a porthole. But things worked out okay. We were not allowed off the base in Cornwallis, but of course I knew how to get around that since I had relatives in Digby who showed me an old railway bridge over a deep ravine. Once across the bridge it was only ten or so miles into the little town of Digby and access to half dozen bootleggers.

HOW TO PLAY: Fill in the grid so that every row, every column, and every 3x3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3x3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: You must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column, or 3x3 box.

ARIES: Wise up, Aries. All is not as it seems at home. Something is up, and the sooner you find out what it is, the sooner you can join the fun. TAURUS: Money troubles come to an end with some strategic planning. A million opportunities are in store. Enjoy your time in the sun, Taurus. GEMINI: You receive rave reviews for a job well done. Celebrate with a few close friends. A design plan nears completion. One final push, Gemini. CANCER: Affairs of the heart move front and center, and passion burns bright. A review of your finances confirms you’re on the up and up. Congrats, Cancer. LEO: Waste not, want not, Leo. The need to go green becomes clear and you must get all hands on deck for the ultimate impact. A secret is revealed. VIRGO: Traipsing down memory lane inspires you to make a big change. Don’t keep your family guessing, Virgo. Spill the beans and prepare for a joyful reaction. LIBRA: You can spin it anyway you want, Libra, but what’s done is done. You can’t go back, so you might as well go forward and that might involve making amends. SCORPIO: Support for an idea mounts, and you must be prepared to act, Scorpio, should the green light be given. Health woes ease for a family member with some trusted advice. SAGITTARIUS: The debate at home begins. Stay on the fence for as long as you need to, Sagittarius. Rush and you could end up in a bit of a pickle. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY

Obituaries

CHAPEL & CREMATORIUM

It is with great sadness that we say ggoodbye to our son, brother, uncle, ccousin and friend, Christopher Jack Derker of Kelowna BC. Chris passed away suddenly on February 14, 2012 at the young age of 46. Chris proudly joined the Army and served our country - being honourably discharged in October of 1991. Chris’ generous heart, unique sense of humour and kind spirit touched many lives in the community and beyond. He lived his life fully devoting himself to ﬁshing, camping, his family and friends. His love for the outdoors grew at an early age through his time ﬁshing, camping, and snowboarding. Chris was equally at home on the water. An avid wakeboarder, he spent his last few years mastering his skills at the Kelowna H20 volunteering his time teaching others his passion for this sport. He also spent time volunteering at the salvation army. Chris was well known for his culinary skills - making any food in the fridge into extraordinary meals, whether it be for one person, or for ten. Chris was predeceased by his mother Joyce Derker. He is survived by his parents Bud (Sandy) Derker and siblings Lonnie (Julie) Derker, Corrina (Curtis) Parks, Tina Krause (Fred Cosman), Tammy (Chad) Simon and Nicole (John) Ritter. He will be missed by numerous nieces, nephews and many other relatives and friends.
