Dangerous air quality in town:

AQC

Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

The air around Princeton had dangerously high levels of airborne material this winter that were dangerous to human health, according to the Princeton Air Quality Coalition. The Town of Princeton monitored the level of small particulate matter in the Princeton-area in August and found “dangerously high” levels of PM2.5, an airborne material measuring 2.5 microns or smaller and considered to be the most dangerous to human health, said Ed Staples from the Air Quality Coalition. The Ministry of Environment found the air in Princeton has the highest amounts of PM2.5 in the Thompson and Okanagan regions, especially in the winter, Staples said. Fine particles like the ones the Air Quality Coalition is talking about come from wood combustion, industry and diesel buses and trucks. “It is clear that Princeton has a problem. During the cold season - usually taken as October to March - the quality of the air in our valley is very poor,” Staples said. “Many diseases, such as cancer and cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses, can be attributed to degraded air quality.” The particles are so small they can easily reach the deepest recesses of the lungs and stay there, he added.

Emergency response times released Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

It took an average of 15 minutes for emergency services to get to patients in Princeton, around 43 minutes for Coalmont and Tulameen and 42 minutes for Hedley, according to 2010/2011 data provided to the Spotlight from BC Ambulance Services. Emergency services - which can include

Princeton

ambulances or helicopters - respond to patients whose lives are in danger around three minutes faster than those whose conditions are not as bad. After an ambulance arrives on scene, most patients would be transported to a hospital - either Princeton Hospital or another depending on their condition. If an emergency happened when the Princeton Hospital was closed. patients

would have to be transported to another hospital, such as the one in Penticton. It takes emergency services in this area typically longer to reach patients than it takes an average person to dive the distance. There are many reasons for the longer response time, said BC Ambulance spokeswoman Kelsey Carwithen.

Hedley food for share Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Fresh organic veggies and fruit will soon be available for picking directly from garden plots around Hedley. Gardeners - or anyone else who wants local food - can plant gardens outside their house fences for other residents to stop by and pick from. The Spirit Gardens promote sharing amongst residents and eating locally, said Vickie Hansen, administrator for the Hedley Improvement District. The garden plots could be located at the front of a house, in a community parks, outside businesses and even in alleys. It is up to each gardener to decide what they will plant. The sharing system is handy because it allows participating people access to a wide range of food without having to grow it all themselves. “A Spirit Garden is a land management system that works with our local ecosystem and adds edible fruit and nut trees, berry shrubs, edible perennials and annuals,” Hansen said. There are many nutritious plants that are often considered weeds growing in abundance around Hedley, she added. Companion plants can be included to attract insects for natural pest management, while some plants can be used as soil amenders providing nitrogen and mulch, she said. Together they create relationships to form a Spirit Garden ecosystem able to produce high yields of food with less maintenance. The Spirit Gardens will reduce climate impact

and improve food security because people will be eating local food. Extra edibles will be sold at the Hedley Farmers Market to raise money for the Spirit Garden’s needs, such as water tolls, seeds, plants, dirt, and fertilizer. Hedley’s gardens stem from the international movement Incredible Edible Community Gardens that exists in communities of all sizes. Families in need can be “adopted” - not everyone has to grow their own food to take part. The push to buy local and food sustainability concerns were the topics of a meeting in Princeton last month. “We should only buy food that has a story. We should know where a particular vegetable comes from and who grew it,” said Colleen Ross, vicepresident of the National Farmers Union, at the meeting. But this can be extremely challenging with tight grocery store restrictions and interference by the government and big corporations, she added. The Hedley Spirit Gardens are trying to overcome the need to buy from stores when healthy food can be grown right outside houses. Hedley is also putting on a Farmers Market on Sundays from July to September. Local farmers will be able to sell their food directly to people, instead of having to go through middlemen. The market - which also sells local crafts - will also be a way for Hedley residents to make a bit of money off their extra food from the Spirit Gardens. A table with free seeds and seedlings will be at the Hedley community yard sale on May 13.

Hugelbeet habitat restoration Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

An unused piece of land separating a playing field from private land in Hedley is about to get an environmentally-friendly makeover. A hugelbeet - a mounded garden made from tree trimmings and yard waste will be built on the spot. Hugelbeets render wood waste into usable gardens through composting and decomposition of organic matter into soil. “The habitat has been damaged by gold mining in the 1920s, and continued into the 1990s when water lines were cut into the playing field due to Crown land purchase,” said Area H director Angelique Wood. The dirt created from the hugelbeet will be used to cover nearby hills that Michaela Garstin/Spotlight aren’t capable of growing Vickie Hansen, administrator for the Hedley Improvement District, and much.

Princeton gets boost in security Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

A Princeton woman is taking security to a new level in town - she is now a licensed security guard who can help control local events. Wendy Englof will also be taking an advanced security course - giving her the authority to restrain people - and a course to carry firearms.

“I wanted to go into the RCMP when I was younger, but never went that route,” she said. Instead she went into jobs ranging from plumbing, to driving trucks, to hairdressing. Becoming a security officer seamed natural to Englof, who is always on the lookout for anything unsafe. She once called the RCMP about an erratic truck driver along

Highway 3. They set up a traffic stop to catch him. Englof has also noticed unsafe areas around Princeton, and warned the appropriate people. She moved to Princeton from Vancouver in 2005 in search of better weather. She noticed a need for a licensed security officer in Princeton because many event organizers

Lions Club learns about HART Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Princeton Lions Club learned more about a new emergency response team that can travel from Penticton to Princeton to escort patients back to Penticton Hospital. Usually a doctor and nurse need to accompany a patient in an ambulance, leaving the hospital without sufficient coverage. HART (the high-acuity response team), a team of critical care nurses who are used to handling emergency situations, allow doctors and nurses to remain in the hospital. “Is [the HART team] a cure for the entire problem? No, but it is a step in the right direction,” said Janice Perrino, South Okanagan-Similkameen Medical

Foundation director, while referring to the scheduled emergency department closures at Princeton Hospital beginning May 1. The HART team can respond to emergency situations 24-hours a day, such as car accidents or to drive patients from Princeton Hospital who need to go to Penticton. The team has more equipment than a regular ambulance to begin treating injured or sick people as soon as the team arrives. Two heart monitors, a transport ventilator to help people breathe again and an airway scope are onboard. Perrino said each emergency situation will be assessed to see whether the HART team is needed. The team is also available for other smaller communities, such as Keremeos, Oliver, Osoyoos and Summerland.

Ice training Contributed

Members from PGSAR (Princeton Ground Search and Rescue) along with SOSSAR’s (South Okanagan Similkameen Search and Rescue) swift water response team held a joint ice rescue training session on Allison Lake

Sunday, April 15. The highlight of the day was the deployment of PGSAR’s new OceanID RDC (Rescue Deployment Craft). The RDC is a raft that inflates quickly using a SCBA bottle (Thanks Princeton Fire department for supplying). It provides a light, easily maneuverable platform that gives rescuers the ability to safely access subjects. It’s uniquely designed open bow and stern allow for quick efficient rescues. The RDC can also be used for water rescues and be outfitted to be pulled behind a snowmobile or PWC (personal water craft).The team would like to remind anyone thinking about going ice fishing at this time of the year that the ice conditions are rapidly deteriorating. Team members fell through the ice unexpectedly a number of times and when they went to exit the ice via the route they entered, they had to use the RDC as they were braking through the ice for a good 50 feet offshore.

AND IMPLEMENT COMMON RATES On April 11, 2012, the FortisBC Energy Utilities applied to the British Columbia Utilities Commission to amalgamate their natural gas utilities across the province and to implement common rates and services across their service areas starting January 1, 2014. Currently, FortisBC Energy Utilities is made up of three separate natural gas companies, operating in six service areas. The companies have their own services, service agreements (tariffs) and rates. If approved, the application would combine the three companies into one, under a single tariff, with common rates for the various regions. This Application has different implications for customers in each service area. If approved, customers in the Vancouver Island and Whistler service areas will see rate decreases, while customers in the Lower Mainland, Columbia, Inland, and Fort Nelson service areas will see an overall rate increase.

Lynda Harris from Princeton-based Foxy Lady Paydirt joins the Rock and Fossil Club at their open house at the Riverside Centre on April 21.

The answer for last week’s Mystery Person is “Glen Allison.” Good job if you guessed right!

A fond farewell to a friend and an inspiration Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

I have a friend who once told me to, “be careful, once you get into this business (the newspaper) it gets into your blood and you don’t get out.” I often remember this and it makes me smile at how true that statement can be. I really can’t begin to explain the truth to that statement other than to say, “At this point in my life, I do believe this is what I am supposed to be doing.” During my nine years with the Similkameen Spotlight, I have had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know some absolutely incredible people. Some of these people taught me how to do different aspects of my job, some have became very close friends, and a few, whom have left an incredible mark on my life and in my heart. The few that I speak of are the individuals who without even knowing, encouraged and inspired me to reach further, believe in myself and to have the courage to achieve any goal I set. Nelson Lewis was one of these very special people. I met Nelson when I came to work for the Spotlight in 2003. We became fast friends. He always came into the office with a smile and a joke or funny story to share. PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY Annual subscription: $30 locally, $45 elsewhere in Canada. We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canada Periodical Fund (CPF) for our publishing activities.

It was always a pleasure to sit and chat with Nelson, and listen to his life experiences. Here was a man whom had travelled the world, seeing places and having had experiences that many would never have. He was a husband and father, an award winning boxer, an accomplished author, a top notch Chef (cooking for presidents, prime ministers and the Queen of England) and boy, was he proud to have cooked for the Queen. Nelson Lewis was one of the most honest and down-to-earth people I have ever had the pleasure to know. I remember how much he looked forward to compiling the next “Season to Taste” article as much as those who enjoyed, looked forward to reading it. Working with Nelson played a huge role in my decision to begin writing. Nelson especially, helped me to overcome fear. He taught me, if writing was something I enjoyed, it was something I could do. He told me, “write what you feel and write what you know—you can’t go wrong with that.” I have and will always remember those words. From all of us at the Spotlight, both past and present, it was a pleasure to work with you and to know you Nelson. Farewell

Seniors face hardship paying taxes YES!...we have...

• MR. FOTHERGILL’S SEEDS

Dear Editor, Regarding Town Hall. Nine per cent property tax increase, is this council on happy pills or what! We are seniors and disabled on fixed incomes, most of us were lucky to get a $20 per month increase on our pensions. You already raised sewer and water. Where was this idea election time - it

must have been sleeping in chambers! Nobody heard of it. I’m sure the election results would have been quite different if someone had trotted out the nine per cent idea. You are forcing seniors to look at tax deferment, who is going to make that up? The people who feel obligation to pay their taxes!

If seniors defer then you will get no monies at all. Becoming 65 years old before taxes are due, I am considering deferring and getting a refund for the already prepaid taxes I have podia so far. I suggest you put your heads together and rethink the hardship you may cause. Wayne & Georgina Longstaff Princeton

86-year-old poem still has meaning today This poem was printed in Nakusp’s Arrow Lakes Times on 26 March, 1926. Seems like a fairly contemporary point of view, even though it’s 86 years old! Community Alphabet A stands for anywhere this may be seen. B stands for Booster, you get what I mean? C is the community we all love so well. D is for discord we all seek to quell. E stands for Everyone, true to his trust: F is our future - to prosper or bust. G is Goodwill that our city holds out. H is for Homes, ours are good without doubt, I is Industries - we want more and

more; J stands for “Jack” that they bring us galore. K stands for Knockers, with them there’s no livin’, L help to spell what they ought to be given. M stands for Merchants who hold out some fine buys, N is this Newspaper where they advertise: O stands for Optimist - thanks for the rhyme; P - yes, that’s Pessimist - you guessed it that time. Q stands for Quibble - alas, some do o’er improvements,

R is the right way to put thru good movements. S stands for Service we all owe to our town. T - Trade at Home - you can’t keep a good poet down. U stands for Unity in public concerns. V is the Victory that Unity earns. W is Welcome and that don’t mean maybe; X means we’re stuck, no matter what the delay be. Y is You. Pep up. Never say that you won’t : Z is the Zero you’ll count if you don’t. Jon Bartlett Princeton

We should be thankful for our doctors Dear Editor; I am writing in response to your article in the April 18 Spotlight - 24/7 ER care demanded. While I agree that the ER service needs to be 24/7, I take exception to Deputy Mayor Earle’s comments that, “Doctors in Princeton should have to help out in the emergency department.” One of our physicians in question has served this community for some 27 years and of that 23 years of doing his share of on-call. Call in early years involved, often, three nights a week and two weekends a month, as all of the fellows filled in for each other. A locus was hardly ever seen here. A weekend consisted of 7 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Monday. How much must we ask of an individual? During this time he had a young family that missed having him with them so he could serve others, often for things as simple as an earache or toothache at two or three in the morning. This, along with the many nights where the physician would be at the hospital most

of the night caring for a patient with a heart attack, a stroke or major motor vehicle accident then have to do his office in the morning. There was no actual triage system so the physicians came for everything we called them for. Now, with the triage system many things can be put off until morning or until the office the next day. A vastly different system! Where is this community’s consideration for him or the physicians that faithfully served for many years? Is it any wonder they all suffered burnout and felt the need to retire or give up call? Both physicians in question could retire and leave us with next to no medical care, they are both at or above the age of retirement, but because they care, they continue! There is room in this community for at least one or two more physicians, previously there was usually four or five and they all survived quite nicely! Then maybe so many people would not

The scoop on hummingbird feeders Dear Editor, Hummingbird plants provide sucrose to the birds and most experts agree that the nectar in your feeders should be as close as possible to that provided by nature. The best sugar solution can be made easily. Just boil 1 cup white table sugar (sucrose) with 4 cups water for 2 min, and then fill your feeder when it has cooled. Higher sugar concentrations, although enticing to the bird (think ice cream sundaes at every meal), could cause kidney damage and being sticky, make it difficult for the bird to preen. Some scientists think that the large water volumes obtained from nectar, may be necessary to assist with cooling. Imagine how much water you would

go through flying out in the heat of a midsummers day! NEVER use honey, brown sugar, icing sugar, juice or artificial sweetener • Honey contains sugars that are less palatable to hummingbirds. Since it also ferments rapidly when diluted in water, honey can kill the birds. • Brown sugar contains molasses, but more importantly, it has 5 times more iron than white sugar. Since iron is relatively rare in a hummingbird diet, its body hoards the metal, and eventually the bird may be poisoned. Concerned resident Princeton (Photo by Jane Brown)

have to seek medical care out of town! The bigger question is why would a physician come here when he or she could go to a larger centre, often having to do no ER call and be able to live a civilized life. Once Interior Health gutted this hospital many years ago the reasons for settling here became few. It is difficult for a physician to keep up the skills required in ER without the operating room functioning, no labour and delivery, etc. We can all dream that these things will return, but it is totally unrealistic in health care today. Its time to say thank you for all the years of commitment of our physicians and come up with a new approach, not try to guilt these physicians into yet more service. For my part I’ve worked as an RN at this hospital off-and-on since 1990. I want to thank these two physicians as well as the ones now retired and gone for their exceptional service to this community and its people. Dorothy Gallagher Retired RN Princeton

Teachers to yank after-school activities Public school teachers have voted 73 per cent to withdraw extracurricular activities provincewide to intensify pressure on the provincial government in the continuing labour dispute. The vote of the B.C. Teachers Federation could affect everything from high school graduation ceremonies to upcoming sports events. Meanwhile, a decision of B.C.’s Labour Relations Board has ordered unionized teachers to prepare second term report cards immediately, something some had resisted as part of job action. The ruling gives teachers until April 27 to have them ready. Public school teachers briefly went on a limited strike in March until the provincial government passed Bill 22, legislating them back to work with a six-month cooling off period. A total of 21,625 teachers voted yes, while 7,846 voted no. BCTF president Susan Lambert said the vote was an emotional one for teachers because cancelling extracurricular activities was a wrenching choice. “Teachers struggle with this because these activities bring so much joy to our engagement with students,” she said. “We know this will mean the loss of some highly-valued activities, and we sincerely regret that. But we have to look at the bigger picture and the longer term.” It’s expected to pit teachers who still want to coach teams and run student clubs in defiance of the BCTF decision against more militant teachers who will be able to ask their union locals to take disciplinary action. Lambert said the vote “sends a powerful message to government” to rethink Bill 22, which the federation says weakens limits on class size and composition. Education Minister George Abbott told reporters the BCTF vote to ban extracurricular activities will divide teachers, punish students and leave parents overseeing functions like grad ceremonies. “My hope is that the BCTF will not take any opportunity to insert so-called moral suasion to keep teachers from volunteering,” Abbott said. “It’s their personal decision. And I don’t believe it’s appropriate for the BCTF to be trying to interfere in that. This is going to be a big issue for them if they try to do that.” STORES FLYERS DEALS COUPONS BROCHURES CATALOGUES CONTESTS PRODUCTS STORES FLYERS DEALS COUPONS BROCHURES CATALOGUES CONTESTS PR S BR S ST S CA S DE S BR S ST S CA S

Abbott also defended his choice of a mediator in the dispute, Dr. Charles Jago, who the BCTF alleges is biased. “I could have asked the Dalai Lama,” Abbott said, adding he likely would have drawn the same complaints. He said he hopes teachers sit down and negotiate through Jago. If talks with the BCTF fail to reach a mediated settlement, Abbott said, the government would likely legislate a two-year contract, ending June 30, 2013. Abbott said he can’t guarantee that the dispute won’t disrupt the start of the school year next fall. The action plan approved by the BCTF membership also calls for a public awareness campaign to mobilize public opposition to Bill 22, a possible future vote on a full withdrawal of services and work in advance of the May 2013 election “to bring in a new government” that will repeal the legislation.

ATVs should be allowed on KVR: Coalmont Contributed

The Tulameen to Princeton corridor of the KVR was discussed at the Tuesday meeting of the Coalmont Community Association, and the public vote made it overwhelmingly clear that this community would like this section to remain mixed use. During the discussion it was obvious that many see problems with the present motorized use, but felt that addressing them was the best way forward. Those with business interests were particularly eager to deal with the issues rather than, as they see it, delving a blow to tourism in this area which is primarily centered on off-road quadding. Furthermore, it was thought that since the motorized use of the trail is also non-recreational, there are

cultural and environmental reasons for continuing the current policy of mixed use. The Trans Canada Trail is a grand vision, and one that everyone likes. However, at this time it seems that it cannot be completely implemented without being at the expense of some of the communities which it goes through. Coalmont is one of those places where the residents stand to lose something if motorized use is banned. The Coalmont Community Association is a notfor-profit organization working to ensure the interests and well-being of all Coalmontians. Membership is free, and open to all residents of Coalmont and area. Ole Juul, Chairman CCA

Princeton powwow wraps up Contributed

The Upper Similkameen Spirit Festival has come to an end for another year. We were excited once again to put on this celebration of First Nations culture for a second year as a partnership between the Upper Similkameen Indian Band and Princeton Community Arts Council. The powwow, held over the Easter weekend at Princeton Secondary School, was an amazing event with drum groups and dancers from all over B.C., an exhibition of First Nations artists works from the En’owkin Centre and children’s art workshops. New this year, running for three weeks, the ‘History of the Pow Wow’ exhibition proved popular with the beautiful regalia of Oly Bent and Tiinesha Begaye on display. For the close of the Upper Similkameen Spirit Festival, we were excited to host Tiinesha Begaye at Riverside Centre. Tiinesha, whose heritage is Navajo and

Similkameen, played for a small but enthralled audience on Sunday, 15 April enchanting them with her music and stories. This year we were excited to have support from returning supporters FortisBC, the Town of Princeton and the Regional District of the OkanaganSimilkameen as well as the support of new funders including the British Columbia Arts Council, the BC Gaming Commission, Copper Mountain Mine, the First Nations Education Council and Telus BC Southern Interior. We would also like to thank the Princeton Secondary School, School District #58, Cooper’s Foods and all our accommodation providers and raffle prize donators for their support. Events like this would not be possible without the support of our volunteers and sponsors and so the Upper Similkameen Spirit Festival Committee would like to thank them all for their help in delivering another successful festival.

AIR QUALITY - Princeton not so pristine Coun. Kim Maynard said he was surprised at these results because many people think of Princeton as a pristine area. But Ralph Adams, air quality meteorologist with the Ministry of Environment, said the poorest air quality almost always occurs in valley communities, not necessarily large cities. The problem is the worst in the winter when there is poor dispersion in valleys and more people use their wood stoves, he added. The elderly, people with preexisting heart and lung disease or those with asthma and children are most at risk from exposure. Staples would like people to take advantage of the wood stove exchange program in Princeton that runs until

Rick Hansen celebration EMERGENCY - 1,000 sign petition Contibuted

Twenty-five years ago, Rick Hansen finished his Man In Motion World Tour by wheeling across Canada from Cape Spear, N.L. to Vancouver, B.C. This year 7,000 people will follow in his tracks to continue the journey of making positive changes in the lives of others. On May 9 Veterans Square will come alive at 3 p.m. with activity as the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Committee celebrates the arrival of local medal bearers with a live stage showcasing local talent, barbecue, children’s activity, stagecoach fun, Rick Hansen Foundation display and gift shop, and a variety of local

organizations participating to make this an afternoon to remember. Rick Hansen wheeled into Princeton 25 years ago on his Man in Motion World Tour. Let’s celebrate the people who inspire us, celebrate the accomplishments of local residents and celebrate the credo ‘that anything is possible’. Check out the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Tour website at www. rickhansenrelay.com to follow the progress of the 25th Anniversary Medal as it makes its way across BC and into Princeton on May 9. For more information on the Rick Hansen 25th Anniversary Relay Committee please contact Nadine McEwen at 250-295-6067 or e-mail nmcewen@princeton.ca

of Health. 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.” Harry Lali, MLA for Fraser-Nicola, met with residents on April 12 to discuss the hospital emergency room closures. The key to attracting doctors to small communities like Princeton is by training them in rural medicine, Lali said at the meeting. “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.

“The time of the year can be a factor. Weather issues are probably number one,” she said. The closest available ambulance is dispatched to a location, so ambulances aren’t necessarily coming from Princeton, she said. Princeton residents started a petition to get 24/7 emergency department service after they became worried about the amount of time it would take for patients to be treated when the hospital undergoes scheduled closures May 1. Interior Health announced on April 2 that the Princeton Hospital would be closed from midnight to 8 a.m. Monday to Thursday. More than 1,000 people have now signed the petition that is placed in businesses throughout Princeton and surrounding communities. The petition’s organizer Nienke Klaver hopes more than 2,000 people will add their signatures. Once Klaver has enough signatures, she will be giving the petition to Princeton town council, the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen and the Minister

ZigZag Trail, urban deer and the hospital

”

“Any MLA seeking future medical attention would have to get it in Princeton only” Sometimes problems disappear with a little unorthodoxy and a major incentive. The ZigZag Trail behind Shoppers Mart is better served with a two-way escalator (we’re talking about up and down) funded by a mini-mortgage taken on by the milliondollar-green-bra Bridge of Dreams repayable by a small user fee during the tourist season. An ideal method of funding future proj-

ects such as a swimming pool complex. Now the Princeton deer residency situation. You really got to reach for this one for their eviction. Any self respecting deer in town should be required to wear a hoodie. Town council should invite the hunting community from Florida and Texas here for a permit-free deer hunt. They, with their unique hunting gear of assault weapons, bazooka’s and tank destroyers would resolve the situation in short order. You have to agree it would be a blast. As for the future, have open season on the does. There is a resolution to the Princeton Hospital crises before we lose our lab and X-ray techs and staff. Any MLA seeking future medical atten-

tion would have to get it in Princeton only. It’s only fair to them. They’re professional problem solvers and this gives them “hands on experience” and something to do besides being bored working on their pension. As lack of emergency patients seems to be the problem of sustaining emergency doctors salary - have a guaranteed floor salary of what 40 patients a day would bring in to any clinic for that doctor. Incentive does marvels - look at the kids. Princeton will recover. Any serious analysis of the rate of cost increases in health care and education show it will ultimately overwhelm the system. Maybe we are expecting too much and living too long. You want to go first?

Get cooking with a “Season to Taste” - the beginning This column will be about cooking. All kinds of cooking. If you like food, you will like this column. I’ll strive to make it as interesting as possible. I will also include one or two recipes in each column. One thing I’ve got is lots of recipes. Another thing—I’ve got lots of cooking experience. I joined the navy right out of high school and spent ten years in the service of my country. I left the navy as a Petty Officer with three trade groups in cooking. During that time I visited a lot of foreign ports. Every country has its own speciality dishes and I tried to sample them all. I ate a lot of every good food in some swank hotels and dining rooms. I also sampled a lot of terrible foods in a lot of grungy dives. And I ate some very traditional foods such as fish and chips—

Season to Taste

I can’t cook anymore (as a professional) because of an incident that happened in the navy and robbed me of my sense of smell and most of my sense of taste. But I still enjoy cooking. Well, that’s more than you wanted to know about me but I felt you needed to know something about my credentials as a cook. * Associate Publishers Note: Nelson Lewis passed away on Tuesday, April 17, 2012. Nelson had been a member of the Spotlight family providing readers with his tales of the navy and tasty recipes weekly, since 1998. We hope you have enjoyed “Season to Taste.” This was the first column he wrote for the Spotlight and how we choose to close this chapter. Farewell Nelson, you will be missed.

Obituaries Obituaries 5450041 LEWIS, NELSON RUSSELL July 28, 1934 - April 17, 2012 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Nelson Lewis on April 17, at Ridgewood Lodge in Princeton, B.C. Nelson lived a full and active life. He travelled the world, was a volunteer firefighter, an accomplished author, a Welterweight Champion, Golden Glove boxer and an accomplished Chef, serving presidents, prime ministers and his favourite, the Queen of England. Nelson cooked and served for many during his 10 years of service in the Navy. He later turned his life’s experiences into a column known as “Season to Taste” which he shared with Similkameen Spotlight readers since 1998. In his younger years, Nelson worked for CBC Radio, the Yukon Star and News, wrote for Outdoor Canada and Camping Canada magazines as well as writing many books, novels and cookbooks throughout the remainder of his life. Nelson was predeceased by his parents; Ward and Alma, son Christopher and by his brothers; Ward and Bruce. He is survived by his wife of 27 years, Donna, daughter Sandra (Rick) and daughter Debra - fondly known as T. First wife Marjorie and their children; son Darrell, and daughters; Sherré, Deborah and Lisa. Nelson is also survived by his sister-in-law Ingrid, 16 grandchildren, 1 great grandchild (on the way), as well as numerous cousins and friends around the globe. The family would like to extend their sincere thanks to Dr. Adams, Dr. Eva and all of the staff members of Princeton General Hospital and Ridgewood Lodge for the care and love they gave Nelson during his 31/2 year stay. An invitation is extended to join the family for Tea at the Princeton Legion Hall at 1:00 p.m., on Wednesday, April 25. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Princeton Highway Extrication Society in memory of Nelson would be appreciated.
