Princeton mining ahead of the game Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com
Princeton’s Copper Mountain Mine is ahead of the provincial government’s plan to boost B.C.’s mining industry by tapping into growing demand in Asian markets. Copper Mountain already exports all of its product to Japan - a country hungry for Canadian copper. “The concentrate goes to Japan for smelting and refining, and then the Japanese sell it,” said Copper Mountain manager Bill Dodds. The mine’s concentrate includes copper, gold and silver. “Strong Asian markets combined with a high price mean a future is bright,” Dodds said. The provincial government announced on May 16 that eight new mines will be created in B.C. and nine existing ones will be expanded by 2015. B.C. has a total of 19 major mines, including five new mines that opened last year in Princeton, Prince George, Kamloops, Barkerville and Dease Lake. If the price of copper stays high, Copper Mountain will run long past its 17-year expected life span, Dodds said. He said there is more demand for copper in Japan than in Canada. Exploration is being done in Copper Mountain Mine to find more sources of copper, gold and silver. “We have diamond drill crews on the site working on exploration to improve the reserve,” Dodds said. Copper Mountain mine produced 14 million pounds of copper in the first quarter of 2012.

Using shipping containers for storage in residential areas could soon be banned. Princeton does not have a bylaw against these containers yet, but council is considering creating one. “They’re not attractive at all. I don’t know if I would appreciate having a neighbour who had a big box with advertising on the outside,” said Coun. Marilyn Harkness at a council meeting. The shipping containers are often used as a quick, cheap fix to storage instead of building a shed.

Storage containers could be nixed They can be an eyesore to neighbours who have to look at them, Harkness said. “But they can be handy, and good for temporary usage like for renovations.” Coun. Kim Maynard said people use the containers because they’re “cheap, strong, safe, secure, storm and rodent proof.” Chief administrative officer Patrick Robins said the containers could start popping up before a bylaw is made. People who put the containers on their property before the bylaw is enacted couldn’t be forced to move them, he said. Michaela Garstin/Spotlight Council is planning to look Storage containers similar to this one outside a Princeton business could be banned in residential areas. into a bylaw soon.

CAO resigns for similar job editor@similkameenspotlight.com
Michaela Garstin
Chief administrative officer Patrick Robins is leaving Princeton for a similar job in Saanich. He will be the Vancouver Island city’s new CAO. “I have enjoyed my six years with Princeton and it has been a pleasure serving the community,” Robins said. Robins said he enjoyed working with council while he was here. Princeton is now in search of a new chief administrative officer, said Acting Mayor Jason Earle. “We’ll miss him. Saanich is a bigger community and this is a good opportunity for him,” he said. Town council will have to take on more until a replacement is found, he added. Robins announced his resignation early last week.

Supporters of a national park in the region outnumbered opponents by a two-to-one margin, according to a 2007 survey com-
missioned by Parks Canada. The result is contained in a much-anticipated Parks Canada feasibility study that explored the creation of a national park in the South Okanagan-Similkameen. The study was submitted to the

Border bluffs prove costly Kristi Patton Penticton Western News
Making a false statement to an Osoyoos border guard has cost an Okanagan couple upwards of $40,000. Robert and Rose Wilson were charged under the Canadian Customs Act for making false or deceptive statements and attempting to evade duties under the act when attempting to return back to Canada on May 17, 2011. They appeared in Penticton provincial court on Monday in front of Judge Meg Shaw. The couple told a Canadian border guard they had brought a $40,000 trade-in vehicle into the United States and purchased the motorhome they were driving back into Canada. The husband then told the border guard the motorhome was purchased for $90,000 and presented a bill of sale. Federal crown Nick Lerford told the court some of the responses offered by the husband prompted officers to do a secondary inspection. Lerford said a second bill of sale for approximately $158,000 was recovered inside the motorhome sitting on a table in a folder. “This was a premeditated event,” said Lerford.
“The accused was given more than one occasion to report the value of goods but continued to try and convince the border guard the value was not what it was.” Defence counsel Richard Hewson argued the elderly couple made a “terribly unsophisticated decision and had no idea of the risk they were taking.” Hewson said the couple had more than $39,000 of fines imposed on them by border services and paid them four days after they were stopped at the border. “If there was any planning, it was of the worst kind,” said Hewson, arguing if they were trying to be truly deceptive they could have mailed the receipt back to Canada instead of trying to bring it across with them. The defence successfully argued the point that the husband was the one mainly answering the border guard questions, which led to the charges of false statements being discharged on the wife and evading duties stayed. “These are good people that did something wrong and something they regret,” said Hewson. The husband received a conditional discharge with a six month probation for making deceptive statements. The charge of evading duties was also stayed on the husband.

Stats alone don’t make case for national park Staff Writer Penticton Western News
Though there is no record he ever said it, Mark Twain cites Benjamin Disraeli as the source of one of his most pithy epithets, “There are three types of lies: lies, damn lies and statistics.” Twain or Disraeli, nothing could be closer to the mark for describing how the results of a 2010 report are being used to both support and oppose the concept of a national park in the OkanaganSimilkameen. The secret is that the results of a poll can be made to read anything you like, depending on the values you attribute to the results. In this case, those results were 39 per cent for, 19 per cent against and some 41 per cent undecided. To the government, 19 per cent against is a strong lobby and the undecided vote is assumed to be happy with the status quo. To those in favour, 39 per cent means they outnumber opponents two-to-one, and the undecided contingent are just those they haven’t reached out to yet. So the decision has to go back to what really counts, whether the need for a national park in the area outweighs the disruption it would cause for lives and livelihoods of neighbouring residents. B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake previously said he acknowledges there is support for a park, it’s just not at a high enough level for the government to want to impose something on the local area. After the long-awaited report was released, he was still saying much the same thing, that even 39 per cent support wasn’t enough to justify the disruption to logging, ranching, hunting and other incomegenerating activities in the region. So numbers aren’t going to make the case. If they truly want the provincial government to put the idea of a national park back on the table, supporters need to switch tactics. Instead of relying on statistics that have been suspect on both sides all through this eight-year-long argument, they need to focus on the facts of why creating a national park is a necessity, not just a desire.

Seniors need 24/7 emergency care A letter of hope. We the people of Princeton moved here because of the beauty and peace. Not to come here and die, which will eventually happen to some of us, if we need care after midnight. We are a community of elderly and people with disabilities
whom are sometimes sicker than most. I would not want my handsome grandson now, if this had been happening when he was so ill. Many a night the ambulance came and picked him up after midnight. We are all aging and we need the emergency to stay open, so they are able to save
lives. Please don’t let anymore lives be lost because of costs. Our children and all of us Need Our Hospital! We can’t only hope and dream, this has to happen! Donna and Dana Slatten Princeton
Princeton needs to unite for solution to ER As a community, we have recently endured serious upheaval. We have heatedly debated the controversial proposal for a public pool. We have had a municipal election that variously surprised some, relieved some and angered others while spawning political manoeuvring. We’ve witnessed divisive internal power struggles, while facing important issues such as regionalization. In the midst of this and not the least, the elected mayor, Fred Thomas, has passed away. At the end of it all we still live here. Together.
That’s the thing, right? At the end of the day, no matter who you are, or which “side’” you were on for any of the aforementioned events we live, work, talk, argue and laugh together. We are currently staring down the double barrels of a loaded economic shotgun, facing the most serious challenge that we have seen as a community in a long time. The ER closures have forced a reality check, one that we should all heed before we are forced to pick up the tab. Enough of the schoolyard politics, name calling, blame-gaming, back-door dealing shenanigans. It does not represent our community, it
alienates the voters and shames us all. It is time for us to bond together to come up with a solution to the crisis situation with our ER. It could be anybody’s baby. It could be anybody’s parent, grandparent, husband, wife, co-worker that gets hurt. Community-minded people are stepping forward. Thank you. I know we are capable of great things. I have had the honour of being a part of this community and I am a believer. I believe in the heart of this community. Sol Allison Princeton
IHA ignores Canadian Constitution Pay no attention to the big, empty building behind the ambulance station. It rolls smoothly along like any other dysfunction entity. Desperately try to maintain whilst ignoring crippling ailments. We all know what happens to the crippled and weak in our jungles. A quick dismemberment back into the food chain at best, cannibalistic frenzy at worst. A hospital worker once explained to me, “we don’t deliver babies here in case something goes wrong.” I still have no answer to that. Maybe touting insurance theory is a logical dodge. Then again, someone tortured long enough likely will tell you anything. It’s here that a problem appears. Our own Interior Health Authority (non- profit, publicly funded, governmentcreated entity) is torturing its clients and peers alike to a level of non-service and conduct so unbecoming that it now must be exposed. Torture is in our culture. Once agai made an acceptable means of persuasion. Our southern neighbors did such a good job they sold “how to” books to some who reside here but souls were somehow lost to the dark side long ago. Medieval torture chambers would have been a lot less ominous without shrieks of agony and despair. Even a vilian like Vader allowed the tiniest of struggle to escape the lips of his victims. If you go out of your way to think up fun, experimental ways to cause stressfilled discomfort, how, or why would you censor or disregard its effects? To inflict a thousand cuts upon our hospitals, all the while muzzling gutteral misery, is not the promised product.
IHA’s mission is to “promote healthy lifestyles and provide needed health services in a timely, caring, and efficient manner to the highest professional and quality standards.” One of the noble goals on its website is to “deliver high quality care” - lofty and mighty ambitious considering they can’t even deliver a baby. Teasing is torturous, how will we ever learn to only crash our cars in the daytime? Not such a frivolous notion when you live on the third busiest highway in the province. Isn’t it odd that a government-run entity could allow 24/7 services to be denied to all those travellers, local and tourist alike. You’d think an important minister of transportation or even health authorities might have a problem with it but those chosen to run IHA include integrity as a value, claiming authenticity and accountability for their actions and words. Trust makes the values list as well, proudly saying, free to express our ideas. Here’s a thought, what does productivity (another goal) have to do with health care? If the goal is to “cultivate an engaged workforce and healthy workplace” why are our hospitals so stressful, and infectious!? It’s extremely honourable of Interior Health Authority to value all that integrity, perhaps while they’re being accountable for their wordy actions they’d like to explain how they managed to forget about the Constitution of Canada: PART III EQUALIZATION AND REGIONAL DISPARITIES Commitment to promote equal opportunities 36 (1) Without altering the legislative authority of Parliament
or of the provincial legislatures, or the rights of any of them with respect to the exercise of their legislative authority, Parliament and the legislatures, together with the government of Canada and the provincial governments, are committed to (a) promoting equal opportunities for the wellbeing of Canadians; (b) furthering economic development to reduce disparity in opportunities; and (c) providing essential public services of reasonable quality to all Canadians. Commitment respecting public services (2) Parliament and the government of Canada are committed to the principle of making equalization payments to ensure that provincial governments have sufficient revenues to provide reasonably comparable levels of public services at reasonably comparable levels of taxation. (98) See (c) above, just for effect. Can IHA please explain how closing an emergency room (a sure-fire essential service in my estimation) somehow translates to timely, caring or efficiently provided health care? Can they further explain how a government group forgot its constitutional obligation? Perhaps they would like to talk about an organization that feels it important to have nine vice presidents, instead. The suspense is torturous. Darrell Dobre Princeton

Okanagan libraries could start fundraising Richard Rolke Vernon Morning Star
Local libraries could eventually get into the fundraising business. Okanagan Regional Library board members agreed Wednesday to hire a consultant for a fund development study to see if revenue sources exist beyond taxation. “We feel there are possibilities out there we could be missing,” said director Peter Schierbeck. “It would be primarily used for capital - new chairs or tables or an addition to the (book) collection).” Director Mike Macnabb, though, expressed some apprehension that the
study could lead to ORL hiring someone to take on fundraising. “We’re kind of a monopoly and we don’t see others setting up libraries next to us. Why are we doing this?” he said. However, other board members pointed out that all that’s been approved is a feasibility study and no decision has been made about fundraising. “We’re not seeking anyone’s funding at this time,” said director Jim Edgson. A similar view also came from director Lisa Cameron. “Without a feasibility study, it’s just us talking about what we think is best for the library,” she said. Lesley Dieno, ORL executive director,
believes there are some unknowns about canvassing for money. “We want to know how much fundraising will cost to do - staff salaries, travel to communities, etc.,” she said. But she admits there’s a reluctance among the board to keep raising taxes. “There are a lot of things we could do if we had the money to do it.” Langley-based Liberty Quest Enterprises has been hired for up to $20,755 to lead the study. However, completing the full process is contingent on Liberty Quest identifying realistic opportunities for fundraising. “If they can’t find anything for us, they will walk away from the rest of the $20,000,” said director Arlene Arlow.

Work has begun in earnest on the redirection of greens waste in Hedley to the construction of a working compost pile- a Hugelbeet- that will be constructed over the next month and monitored as a new way to deal with the volumes of yard waste which are currently either hauled to the dump, illegally dumped up Twenty Mile Creek, or burned in backyard barrels. The best thing about a Hugelbeet is it is an immediate way to start building soil in an area which has been compromised by enormous piles of tailings, left over from the heydays of mining in Hedley. Yesterday’s crew included Doug Bratt, as a driver, picking up bags of leaves throughout town. Shannon and Donna Gauvin used their muscles to load trailer after trailer of trees and branches up to the newly established yard waste sorting area.
Vickie Hansen worked to re-pile the waste that others had left before the Hugelbeet sorting area was really in production since, as organizers, our biggest concern is that uninformed residents assume that the “old burn pile” is active again. We were able to gather a great deal of the waste that was left out as the Regional District Okanagan Similkameen greens pick up was slated for the next day. Bratt confirmed with the “garbage man” that he only got two or so bags of leaves, so we can congratulate ourselves on diverting an enormous amount from the landfill - thus reducing greenhouse gases - and working towards a healthier future for the families living here in Hedley. We do ask that those of you who are able-bodied to shift the greens waste yourself- or offer to help with hauling when there is a truck nearby. There were lots of people who did not cut their branches down to a manageable size, and left enormous piles for our volunteers.

PSS students hold mock murder trial Special to the Spotlight Mr. Kitts Princeton Secondary School
Princeton Secondary School students learned about the Canadian legal system by taking part in a mock first-degree murder trial. Mr. Kitts’ Law 12 class and Mr. Palmer’s Socials 11 class took part in the mock trial based on two counts of first degree murder contrary to section 235(1) of our criminal code of Canada. The students learned the idea that the fundamental principle in our legal system allows the presumed to be innocent until the opposite
is proven. It is the duty of the prosecution to prove guilt beyond
a reasonable doubt. As a result the jury found the accused not guilty on
both counts. Students took their roles seriously and provided a great deal of entertainment to all. The roles included: J u d g e : Bobby Gibb Court clerk: K e n n e d y Edwards Crown lawyers: Roya

Special Olympics Princeton held its fifth annual 9 Hole Fundraising Golf Tournament at the Princeton Golf Course, which included a carnival theme event complete with our own ringmaster Al Lambe, nine holes of fun golf, entertainment, two balloon contests and a roast beef dinner. Fundraising co-ordinators Pat Taylor and Connie Howe, local coordinator Gloria Gagnon, and all other board members, who were dressed as clowns, would like to thank all those who donated prizes for the best ball golf game organized by Kelsey Keglovic and items for the silent auction. Funds raised by this event assist our athletes in attending competitions and travelling to pools and ski areas which are not available to them in Princeton. All 71 attending this event were treated to a special stage performance by Barb Fraser of “Send in the Clowns”. The fun loving audience was super quiet as she performed this 1975 Broadway musical. A balloon spearing contest won by Chase Atkinson brought loud noises and lots of laughs. A golf hat and golf club designed with animal balloons brought many laughs as each table desperately tried to create the best likeness of a hat and club. Marcus Taylor was chosen by golf chef Peter as the winner for his table.

They will also be approaching big stores for donations of overstock dresses. In the future, they want to start a consignment store. “Most people only wear their grad dresses once, and often they don’t fit once they have children.

Princeton Secondary School Grade 12 students graduate at then end of June.
For some grads the most stressful part of finishing high school can be the cost. New dresses and suites, limousines, after-parties and applying to college can easily add up. That’s where two Princeton women step in. They have closets full of donated gowns they are giving to grads who cannot easily afford their own. People have donated their long and short, bright and dark dresses - most only worn once to their own grads. Shoes, jewelry, professional hairstyling and even photoshoots are included. “I want to remove all the worry for them,� says Kim Nolin, who is working with Heather King to find dresses of every shape and colour. Grads have a lot of pressure to have the perfect dress, shoes and hair - something that isn’t possible for everyone for financial reasons, King says. A room in her house is transformed into a large walk-in closet where grads can find the perfect dress. “I don’t want them to have to put out a cent. It’s supposed to be their day for them to enjoy,� says Nolin. The women say Princeton residents have been very generous, dropping off gowns and donating their services. Twenty people have dropped off their dresses in the two week since they started. Princeton’s D. Blank Photography is offering a full photo shoot for the lucky grads. “Within 24 hours we got a lot of dresses, so there should be something here for everyone,� says Nolin. The women also have dresses for weddings, job interviews and any other formal event.

STUDY Boundary Similkameen MLA accused of flip-flopping on park From Page 4. Environment Minister Terry Lake in January 2012 cited a lack of public support when he confirmed the province had pulled the plug on the idea. “While we know there is some support it’s obvious to us there is still a lot of local resistance, so we don’t want to impose something on the local area that doesn’t have a strong level of support,” Lake told the Western News at the time.“When you do something of this magnitude you want more than 51 per cent, you need a lot of support.” The 2007 survey, conducted by mail, received 777 responses from around the region.
It found 39 per cent of respondents slightly or strongly supported the park, while 19 per cent slightly or strongly opposed it. But 43 per cent of those polled had no opinion or wanted more information. Lake came under the gun Monday in the provincial legislature, when NDP environment critic Rob Fleming asked why the government “killed the proposal” when the study “shows a majority of the regional population supports it.” Fleming also took a shot at John Slater, the Liberal MLA for Boundary Similkameen, whom he accused of flip-flopping on the park. Slater “supported it, opposed it
and supports it again,” Fleming said. Just hours later the Liberals issued a statement from Slater that said he “was very disappointed to hear Mr. Fleming misrepresent my position” on the park. “My position has not changed: I support the Province’s decision to withdraw from the National Park initiative,” Slater continued, citing too many unanswered questions about the park. He said the province recognizes the “important conservation values” in the proposed park area and there “are existing methods available to protect these invaluable grasslands and we will continue to explore
of grasslands east of Oliver and Osoyoos but west of Keremeos. - Parks Canada committed to “an adaptive management framework” that would support continued livestock grazing inside the park and ”proactively working with the ranching sector over the long term.” The scaled-down version of the park was also seen as a way to reduce impacts on hunters and helicopter companies that use the area. - Results from two other surveys on the park conducted by environmental groups are also cited. Those surveys found 63 per cent of respondents were in favour of protecting part of the South Okanagan-Similkameen in a park.
these options.” Other highlights of the feasibility study include: - The report was prepared by a joint provincial-federal steering committee and concluded a national park is feasible. It was signed by deputy B.C. environment minister Cairine MacDonald and two Parks Canada officials. -The 2010 park concept contained in the study featured two separate areas totalling 284 square kilometres, down from the original 650 square kilometres. The smaller, northern component centred on Vaseux Lake, while the southern portion featured a large swath

set a new BCHL team record for 20 playoff wins and ended the year with the RBC Cup national championship, their first in 26 years. “I can’t tell you how proud I am that you’re bringing home the RBC Cup to British Columbia,” said Premier Christie Clark, in a video message from Tokyo. “We are so proud of what you have accomplished. Go Penticton.” Cowbells rang as the Vees received awards but took it up a notch for the fan favourite award. Penticton-born Vees player Cody DePourcq was described as a person who plays with his heart on his sleeve and never steps down from a challenge.
The unsung hero award went to the Vees player who often scored a substantial but unrecognized goal for the team. The crowd heard how Steven “We are so Fogarty was proud of what a big part of you have the team not accomplished. only offenGo Penticton” sively but defensively. Premier Fogarty was Christy Clark used in all situations this year. The Most Inspirational Player award went to Travis St. Denis. He

was fourth in team scoring this year and played in all situations. St. Denis was struck with a bout of the flu and returned to the Vees lineup scoring points in each of the five games he dressed for during the RBC Cup. He also picked up the assist on the game-winning goal by Joey Benik in the championship final. Benik, led the team in the regular season with 30 goals and 96 points to earn the Vees leading scorer award.

South Interior MP concerned about proposed changes to meat inspection regulations Alex Atamanenko South Interior B.C.
New Democrat MP Alex Atamanenko (BC southern Interior) is appalled by the reckless changes to Meat Inspection Regulations being proposed by the Conservative government that will leave Canadians wondering if the meat they buy is actually safe. Private inspectors, who may not be qualified, would now be able to inspect meat. Worse, these changes to meat inspection rules also change what

industry reps and Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) officials, to further the aims of the Regulatory Cooperation Council to harmonize regulations between the US and Canada. The government claims they are just looking for ways to cut red tape and provide greater flexibility to slaughterhouse operators. “I’m certain that most Canadians would agree that cutting red tape and flexible regulations should not be the principles guiding our food safety system” stated NDP Agriculture Critic Malcolm Allen.
“To top everything off, hundreds of CFIA employees, including front line inspectors and veterinarians are on the chopping block. Atamanenko believes the strength of our federal meat inspection rules for major meat packers must not be weakened. “I join with my NDP colleagues in echoing the calls of industry workers to keep our meat inspection system regulated, and safe for Canadians,” Atamanenko said. “The Conservative government has no business gambling with Canadians’ health and safety.”
Free water and energy saving kits for Princeton residents Town of Princeton
Princeton residents can now pick up Free Water and Energy Saving Kits that are available on a firstcome first-served basis at Princeton Municipal Hall at 169 Bridge St. Tap by Tap provides free, easyto-install faucet fixtures to help residents across British Columbia save water, energy and money. Fixtures are distributed through local municipal channels, multi-
unit residential property managers and utility companies. Tap by Tap OkanaganSimilkameen is sponsored by FortisBC. Participating communities include Kelowna, Keremeos, Oliver, Osoyoos, Penticton, Princeton, and Summerland. Each Energy and Water Savings Kit includes one water-saving showerhead, and aerators for kitchen and
bathroom taps as well as a FortisBC waterproof shower timer to encourage people to take shorter showers. For larger homes, some doubles are also available. “Tap by Tap makes it very easy for customers to save hot water, which in turn, saves both water and energy,” says Doug Stout, vicepresident of energy solutions and external relations for FortisBC. “It has such a direct benefit for
Average family taxes increase 1.6 per cent Town of Princeton
At the regular meeting held on May 7 Council adopted the 2012 Tax Rate Bylaw. The Tax Rates Bylaw contains the tax rates for the Town of Princeton, the Okanagan Regional Library, the Regional Hospital District and the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen. Based upon an average single family residential property assessed at $187,547 in 2011 and $191,647 in 2012, the municipal portion of the average residential property tax notice would be $506.63 in 2012, an increase of $7.82 or 1.6 per cent above the
average of $498.81 in 2011. It should be noted that the annual tax bill that residents and businesses receive includes these tax rates plus tax rates from the provincial government for school and policing taxes; tax rates from the BC Assessment Authority; and tax rates from the Municipal Finance Authority. Although the municipality delivers each property owner a tax notice with all of these itemized taxes, the Town receives only the tax amounts for general municipal purposes; this is approximately 40 per cent of the total taxnotice. The remaining tax amounts are remitted to the appropriate agency.
Bear deterrent tips Government of B.C.
The main cause of humanwildlife conflicts in B.C. is access to non-natural food sources. Bears that learn how to get at exposed pet food, ripe fruit, improperly stored garbage, dirty barbecues or composts become conditioned and will continue to return to the area. British Columbians are encouraged to prevent human-bear conflicts by adopting the following
nine practices: * Keep garbage secured in a bear-resistant container or in the house, garage or shed until pickup day and return the containers to the secure site once they are emptied. * Pick ripe and fallen fruit daily and remove any unused fruit trees. * Use bird feeders only in winter. * Keep the ground free of seeds and nuts. * Clean the barbecue grill after
each use, and store it in a secure area. * Bring pet food dishes inside and store the pet food inside. * Do not add meat products or uncooked food to compost. Turn it regularly and keep it covered. * If residents spot a bear, they are advised to remain calm, keep away from the bear and bring children and pets indoors, if possible. * People should never approach a bear and should not run from it, as bears can move very quickly.
customers who are trying to reduce their energy use that it’s an ideal program for FortisBC to support. We encourage customers to take advantage of it.” One third of all energy use in a typical home goes to heating water. Only space heating uses more energy in a home. Low-flow fixtures can reduce water consumption by 20 to 50 per cent which, for energy bills averag-
ing $50 a month, translates into a savings of between $40 to $100 a year. Annual energy savings from installing a single set of fixtures is around 2188 kilowatt hours (eight gigajoules) - enough to run a 100 watt laptop for 2.5 years – and the amount of water saved is around 38,880 litres, or more than 100 litres per day.

KASSA, EVA (NEE POTH) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Eva at the an age of 93. Eva is survived by her ag hhusband George, son Bryan and daughter-in-law Patti of Salmon Arm. Eva was a prairie girl growing Ev up in Earl Grey, Saskatchewan. Upon graduating from high school, she followed her dream and entered nursing school at St. Paul’s hospital in Saskatoon. Following graduation from nursing school, the call of the West brought her out to Nanaimo and Vancouver, where she nursed for several years. Eva then moved to Princeton, to take up a nursing position. Shortly thereafter, she met George and in June 1950 they married. Eva’s passion in life was gardening—both vegetables and flowers. Come early spring, she would pour through seed catalogues as she planned her garden for the coming season. Once summer arrived, she would spend many hours in the garden and the results were spectacular. During the summer months, when Bryan was a child, our family would spend many weekends camping. Upon George’s retirement in 1985, Eva and George took up fishing and along with their RV, they explored many parts of BC. They spent so much time fishing and camping, our family teased them that they seemed like they were rarely home. When home, Mom loved to cook and bake. She was continually searching for new and interesting recipes. Her cinnamon twists and strudel, were always a hit and were devoured quickly—she could not keep up with the demand. Although Mom is no longer with us, her spirit and love remain within our hearts and our memories will provide us with comfort in the days, weeks and years to come. Family service was held May 18, 2012 If you wish, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimers Society of B.C.
