Joyful sounds make for merriment in the streets

The statement, “music soothes the soul” could never have been more correct as one walked through the streets of Princeton this past weekend. Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

On Friday evening, the Vancouver Morris Men performed a few dances bringing the downtown core to life with colour and sound — a prequel of events to come. The official opening of the 5th annual Princeton Traditional Music Festival began with a welcome, thank you’s and introductions of dignitaries from Rika Ruebsaat and Jon Bartlett, founders of the festival. “Dobrodošli na Princeton,” (Welcome to Princeton) was the Slovenian greeting given by Acting Mayor Jason Earle, in celebration of the cultures of Eastern Europe, the “new music” focus of this year’s festival and one of the many founding cultures of the Similkameen area. Area H Director Brad Hope welcomed visitors, musicians and friends; and extended an invitation to enjoy the town and Area H, “look outside the community as well, he said, “you’ll love it.” “Music is the soul of a country, said Fraser-Nicola MLA Harry Lali, “what better town to represent Canada, than Princeton.” “You folks are in for a real treat,” said Alex Atamanenko, MP for BC southern Interior. He then shared how delighted he was to have reconnected with Ruebsaat and Bartlett, with whom he had sung together with in a classroom during the 70s.

The Psycho Acoustic Ceili Band played for the Friday evening street dance. Traditional dances were both called and instructed by Cari-Ann Thor. Festival attendees enjoyed the dance lessons as evidenced by the looks on their faces.

Cyclists continue journey to raise hope Barb Grimm Black Press

Six riders from the Victoria area cycled through Princeton on Aug. 16 to help raise awareness and funds for families living with ALS. They began cycling 650 kilometres from Kamloops on Aug. 9, continuing throughout the Okanagan and finishing in Hope on Aug. 18. “The ride was beautiful today, despite the constant headwinds and passing trucks. Motorists showed their support along the way by waving, cheering and friendly honks” said Trish Fougner, cyclist and organizer of the ride. The plan for the ride was inspired by Cindy

Lister, who lost her father to the disease. “Cycle of Hope has been my way of healing from the loss of my dad from this devastating disease. My goal is to raise awareness and much needed funds to find a cure for ALS,” said Lister. Paralympic athlete David Cook is experiencing first-hand the effects of ALS. Cook, a silver medalist in sailing at the 1996 Atlanta Paralympic Games, has been diagnosed with a form of ALS, similar to that of physicist Steven Hawking. The disease has affected his legs, arms and core muscle groups. “ALS is an illness that deteriorates the body

Valley ﬁrst brings in a blizzard While most of us are spending time in the summer sun, the employees at Valley First’s Princeton branch are already planning for Christmas. The team is thinking about what they can do now can help others when the days start getting cooler. During July, the branch held a Feed the Valley Christmas in July campaign - a month dedicated to collecting winter supplies for those in need. The drive brought in more than 160 winter apparel items that will benefit the Princeton Crisis Assistance Society, schools and seniors centres. “We set up our Christmas tree in July and asked members to donate winter supplies,” says Valley First’s Barb Fraser. “It wasn’t long before the tree was well decked out with colourful hand-knit scarves, hats, mitts and gloves, some of which were made by Valley First employees. We also collected a box of sweaters and other winter items. As always, the people of Princeton were very generous in showing their community support.” The brainchild of the Princeton branch’s Norma Tremblay, Christmas in July enjoyed its second successful year and is sure to remain a regular feature on the branch’s charity calendar. Feed the Valley, a corporate citizenship program created by Valley First‚ aims to raise food, funds and awareness for local food banks. Since its launch in March 2010, Feed the Valley has donated 120 kilograms of food and more than $20,000 to the Society.

A place of honour

over time but what it canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do is take away my determination and desire to continue raising hope for other families dealing with ALS.â&#x20AC;? ALS (also known as Lou Gehrigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease) is a progressive neuromuscular disease in which nerve cells die and leave voluntary muscles paralyzed. The six cyclists from Victoria include Lister, a teacher at Deep Cove Elementary School; Trish Fougner, owner of Foggygirl Consulting; Robin Farrell, Victoria morning radio show host; Sara Wegwitz, nurse educator at the University of Victoria; Brenda Houston-Paquette, independent consultant with Pampered Chef; and Shawn McKean, teacher at Lochside Elementary School. Coach for the team is Paul Robinson, who coached the Cops for Cancer teams for the last six years and was involved with the event since 1998. To further support the ride and to find necessary funds to find a cure through ALS Canada, please visit the Cycle of Hope website at www.cycleofhope.ca Cyclists stop at Hedley for a break (left to right: Shawn Garside, Robin Farrell, Trish Fougner, Cindy Lister, Sara Wegewitz and Brenda Houston) all from Victoria.

Lisa Carleton/Spotlight

Area H Director Brad Hope, Chamber of Commerce manager Lori Thomas and Acting Mayor Jason Earle are all quite pleased with the cairn created to house the plaque recognizing Susan Allison as a person of national historical significance. Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

On Sept. 4, 2010, Susan Allison was designated a person of national historic significance by the Government of Canada. A Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada Plaque representing the official recognition was unveiled in Princeton. Allison married John Fall Allison, one of the founders of Princeton in 1868. The couple were the first nonaboriginal settlers to live here. They had 14 children and established close relationships with many First Nations communities. Allison wrote about her life experiences including all she learned about her First Nations friends, which would later become published and known as the earliest written accounts of the Similkameen and Okanagan peoples. Her writings are also known as the only accounts of the pioneer life of a woman in British Columbia.

Spearheaded by the Princeton and District Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the Town of Princeton, a cairn to house the plaque was created over the course of last week. On Friday, Aug. 17, Chamber manager Lori Thomas showed the finished cairn to Acting Mayor Jason Earle and Area H Director Brad Hope, both of whom were pleased with the finished result. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Great work, it is very nice,â&#x20AC;? they said. Locals Bob Coyne and Ross Edwards built the cairn from river rock. The local monument is located in the center of Vermilion Avenue right behind the gazebo in Veteranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Square. The Chamber extends a thank you to Gerry Borden - Parks Canada, Henry Rykers, Bob Coyne, Ross Edwards for all their hard work and to the Town of Princeton and Area H for their support.

SpotlightOPINION

Barisoff brought many beneﬁts to the region Penticton Western News

As he announced that he would not be seeking re-election, Bill Barisoff said it’s time to pass the torch to the next generation of leaders. After 34 years in the public spotlight, in one form or another, there can be little doubt that’s true for Barisoff. And, in the weeks to come, there will be a lot of looking back over Barisoff’s career as a politician, with many analyzing every mistake with 20-20 hindsight. “It’s not the easiest vocation,” said former MLA Rick Thorpe, and Barisoff’s roommate in Victoria for years. “There is always going to be people that take shots at you.” Most of the scrutiny will likely fall on his 16 years as Liberal MLA for South Okanagan ridings. Though those years have been marked by the occasional scandal, including the recent auditorgeneral’s scathing report on the finances and accounting practices for the B.C. legislature, which are controlled through Barisoff’s office as Speaker of the House. But, especially for the people of the South Okanagan, it is more important to look back on the work he has done over the last 16 years to benefit the area. It’s a long list, stretching back many years but also including Barisoff’s support and work on behalf of the Penticton Community Centre reconstruction and the Centre of Excellence at Okanagan College. That, in fact, is what Barisoff considers one of the biggest accomplishments of his years in office, a world-class facility benefitting the entire South Okanagan. This then, is the time to say thank you and to appreciate what Barisoff, the man, has accomplished. The time to decide whether or not the Liberals are the best choice for running the province is next spring, when we all head to the polls in May.

Time for investment in forests province to reforest areas affected by disease and VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s emergency fire. This was not only at the peak of the epidemic, committee on timber supply has produced its report, it was one year before devastating wildfires raced but it leaves many of the big questions unanswered. through the Interior in the summer of 2003. Can the Burns Lake sawmill, destroyed by fire “In 2002, the government removed its obligation last winter, be given enough timber to rebuild? It’s to replant those areas, and cut the budget by 90 per likely, committee members concluded, if areas that cent,” Macdonald told me. “The three-year budget are currently considered “marginally economic” are that’s in front of us is keeping on the downward slide, harvested. and it’s not what people in communities are saying is With nearly half the pine in that region dead from TOM FLETCHER the answer. So that has to change.” beetle infestation, and much of the better timber The opposition, the auditor general and various already cut, that means harvesting areas that would forest experts have been blasting the government for produce only about two thirds of the volume that is the degraded state of the timber inventory, at a time currently considered economical to log. when environmental changes have been sweeping. Will eight more sawmills have to close once the Steve Thomson, minister of the newly amalgamated forests, beetle-killed timber becomes too degraded to cut in the next few lands and natural resource operations ministry, points to the urgent years? Committee members hold out hope that extending the cut to efforts to upgrade the government’s detailed picture of the state of less economic timber stands can reduce this impact as well. But the forests, so it can consider new cutting, planting and fertilizing with the current cut far above historical levels to maximize beetle- efforts. But there’s no denying that he came to the job in a crisis that will take more spending in the future, and he will have a hard kill harvest, some industry contraction seems inevitable. All this depends on adequate forest inventory and investment in time finding it as Finance Minister Kevin Falcon looks to balance replanting, fertilizing and provision of additional roads and power the books for the 2013 election. If nothing else, the pine beetle epidemic has forced the B.C. lines that would allow access to timber and potential bioenergy government to consider some of the intensive forest management development. And that is where the political fight lies ahead. The timber supply committee delivered a unanimous report, that we hear about in Scandinavia, one of those places that supdespite the harsh divisions between the B.C. Liberal and NDP plies B.C. with wood furniture. And it has prompted renewed interest in offering new formembers who serve on it. NDP forest critic Norm Macdonald, vice chair of the com- est tenures to aboriginal communities with unresolved resource mittee, agreed it did good work during the seven months it has claims. Under current law, the government can only direct award new toured affected areas of the B.C. Interior. But he said the roots of the problem go back a decade, to when the B.C. Liberals started forest tenures to aboriginal communities. So part of the comreducing support for forest health just as the beetle epidemic was mittee’s proposed solution is to “expedite negotiations” with the Burns Lake First Nations to give them a chance to harvest some of spreading. Ten years ago the government removed the obligation for the the marginally economic forest areas that remain.

SPECIAL O’

Health authority lacks human face Interior Health Authority does not have a human face although many of us wish that it did. It has to be repeated again and again, the mandate for this organization is to dismantle hospitals in rural B.C. in a dispassionate manner. Princeton is not the only community who is suffering from their decisions. Thirty to forty hospitals in rural B.C. also face the same fate. Provincial Health Authorities have yet to demonstrate that they can negotiate in‚ “good faith.” One has to wonder, with all that money that IHA saves, if the government in turn rewards the CEO and the directors with bonuses? IHA is a public agency set up to administer a program, not an agency to make money. Yet, it is employing corporate practices similar to rapacious big businesses by paying huge salaries and not demanding public accountability. However, unlike big businesses, we are paying their wages. Dr. Halpenny earns $346,014 a year, after an income raise of 18 per cent; Andrew Neuner, $232,066, an 11 per cent raise; and Susan Brown, $253,105, a 26 per cent raise. (Published information March

of 2012) Who else in the workforce has received such increases? There are four other directors who receive huge salaries, but the three mentioned above are the ones Princeton has had to deal with. To put a compassionate face on these individuals is to say they can‘t help what happens. Bureaucracy is rampant in government, but these individuals, if they wish, could start to make a difference. Where do we go from here? Get angry! Write a letter to the Minister of Health Mike DeJong, IHA CEO Halpenny, Andrew Neuner and Susan Brown and tell them that enough is enough. Demand what is constitutionally yours and what you pay for - the right to medical services and safe health. Make a difference by attending public meetings and educating yourself about the issues. A literate, caring and demanding public is a powerful force. You have the power. Start using it. M. Masiel Princeton

IHA job is preserving life, not conserving energy Interior Health Authority has recently been awarded the 2012 Climate Action Secretariat Award. Dr. Halpenny, president and CEO of IHA stated, and we must ensure we consider the environmental impact, minimizing harm and taking actions to reduce our carbon footprint wherever possible. Obviously the committee which presented the award to the IHA did not look at the whole picture. They did not take into consideration the carbon footprint created by two-hour ambulance trips to Penticton from Princeton and area residents in need of medical care; or the carbon footprint of helicopters air evading the sick and injured because there is no medical care nearby; or the carbon footprint of cars that locals must regularly use to access medical care two hours away. However, with the Princeton ER closed so frequently, I suppose they must be saving energy having the lights, equipment and heat turned off. Imagine the energy savings if they closed the hospital com-

pletely. The IHA’s job is not to conserve energy, it is to preserve life. While Dr. Halpenny and his cohorts strut about their offices logging into expensive software to view their building‚ and energy performance, rural citizens are banging at their, door demanding their right to basic medical care. So bravo Dr. Halpenny and IHA for your latest green award. It is further proof that you continue to use our tax dollars to serve your own good. As for us, it is time we face the fact that the IHA has no intention to help keep the Princeton ER open. It is time to fight to get a salaried physician who will take charge of Princeton General and return it to the functioning hospital it once was. We are only fooling ourselves if we believe and are optimistic that IHA will ever, step up to the plate‚ and help us. Diane Sterne Coalmont

Dear Premier Clark; Saw an article in a paper a while back of how you are a spiritual individual, that you draw inspiration & strength from scripture. I find I put more faith in people and their ability to get things done. I also find I am losing my faith in political process by the day. Your government has been full of inconsistencies of late. Kevin Falcon just made a statement about not giving raises to the unions because he didn’t want to raise taxes to pay for those increases. Where was that kind of thinking when Interior Heath Authority Directors got massive increases this February? 11 to 31 per cent increases are not paltry in any realm. I have written to you before regarding the Emergency Room closures here in Princeton. Again I say, a major highway, two industries working 24/7, and a local populace that used to rely upon the safety of an E.R. Our right to this essential service has been denied by Interior Health Authority, which answers (erratically) to the Ministry of Health. Your own Minister de Jong gave IHA a deadline five (5) weeks ago. Our Emergency Room is still closed four nights a week. This kind of stalling, inept behavior may be all well and good on a playground amongst children, but when lives and health are put at risk by very well paid ‘professionals’ it is wrong on many levels. Please stop ignoring this issue, please address the Canadian Constitution and the essential services currently being denied to the constituents not only of this community but others across this province. Perhaps you can use your authority to rectify this unacceptable situation with your own deadline. Maybe if the words come from a higher source, the Interior Health Authority will comply. We await your response daily, nightly we worry about the risk we face. Sincerely Darrell Dobie Princeton

A Midget hockey team has been formed again in Princeton. Players in grades 10 to 12 are welcomed back along with second year bantams who want to dip their toes in to practice for next year’s team and/ or midgets wanting to practice for rep. Former Princeton Posse player Spencer Brooks is returning to Princeton to coach the Midget team. Princeton has been without a Midget team for three years, with players having to travel out of town to play on other teams. Six players who have been traveling are quite excited to be able to practice and play at home. “The boys want to play here,” said team manager Dean Johnston, “it is so hard to travel.” Midget hockey parents have come together to assist their kids in raising funds to help pay for team expenses. With a little help from the Princeton Volunteer Fire Department and the place provided by Cooper’s Foods, the site of the old Overwaitea became a local car wash in downtown Princeton this past Saturday. Team members, siblings and parents spent a few hours washing cars and trucks by hand. The team is currently on the lookout for assistant coaches and sponsors. If you can help with either or are looking for more information, please call Dean Johnston at 250-295-2043 or Linda Thompson at 250295-6200. The team wishes to extend their thanks to their parents, the Princeton Volunteer Fire Department (Carson Zieske), Cooper’s Foods and to Posse Coach Dale “Duner” Hladun for getting them off to a great start.

Air Cadets - information meeting Tuesday Royal Canadian Air Cadets participate in a variety of safe, fun and challenging activities. There is something for everyone – no matter what their personal interests may be. The cadet program focuses on social development, citizenship, decision-making and leadership. As cadets acquire skills and knowledge, they pass it along to younger cadets. Every cadet will have the chance to participate in flight activities, survival camps, first aid training, band training, and some top senior cadets may even earn a scholarship to obtain their private pilot’s licence. Whether earning a glider pilot licence or private pilot licence, these cadets wear their wings with a pride rarely found in today’s youth.

Parent participation, of course, is required, but we are also looking for young adults interested in being trained as officers. An information meeting will be held Tuesday, Aug. 28, at 7 p.m., in the boardroom at the Chamber of Commerce. Contact Dawn Gardner at 250-295-0869 for more information. Location: Presently in Penticton, Cost: $150.00 (sponshorship available), Age: 12-18 years Days: Tuesday, Time: 6:15-9 p.m. On-going during school year, summer camps available.

Parent Talk - a time to connect with other parents Add some tools and strategies to your parenting tool box! It’s a well known fact that babies don’t arrive with an instruction manual! Even if they did, it would be hard to cover everything - and how much time do parents have to read anyway? Princeton Family Services Society is offering the opportunity for parents, especially those with young children, to meet for open discussion on parenting topics with other parents. Each session will begin with a given topic and will include: information - understanding of why some strategies are more effective than others, answering questions, and brainstorming solutions. The remainder of the time will be for general conversation (socialization with other adults!!): time to share successes, frustrations, and recognize that other parents are dealing with similar situations.

Join Rosemary and Dani for an afternoon of “parent talk”. At present, the last Wednesday of each month is the chosen afternoon for meeting: 1 - 3 p.m., at Riverside Centre. Child-minding will be provided free of charge, but parents are required to pre-register if they need this service. Please call Princeton Family Services to Register or request topics: 250295-3126 If there is enough interest, it is hoped to be able to offer more regular sessions and topics. These are the dates and topics that are being offered. August 29: Stress - kids have stress too; September 26: Temperment - yours and your child’s; October 31: Dicipline - who rules the roost an how do they do it?; November 28: Traditions and Routines - building memories.

Sharon Anderson Princeton Kokanee Swim Club

The Princeton Kokanee Swim Club has returned from a blazing weekend for 15 swimmers in Kamloops at the Okanagan Regional Meet. Every swimmer contributed to the club performance which was recognized when the Princeton team was named Most Sportsman Like team, an award voted on by coaches in the region. In the course of the weekend Princeton competed in 50 races earning 40 best time performances. Swimmers were on fire all weekend. Four Princeton club records were broken, including Division 1 100 girls Individual Medley by Kiaira Anderson, Division 3 boys 50 Fly by Norman Anderson and two boys Division 3 records by Aidan Neilson—50 Back and 100 IM. These new club record times qualified Norman Anderson and Aidan Neilson for this year’s Provincials in Nanaimo. Norman flew to a first place regional finish and earned a gold medal in boys Division 3 50 fly. Aidan received silver medals in 50 breast, 50 back and a bronze medal in 100 IM.

Also qualifying for provincials is Owen Bartlett for Division 6 50 fly. Joining the provincial-bound swimmers are the girls Division 2 relay team consisting of Addison van Genne, Gillian van Genne, Kiaira Anderson and Abbegael Fulton for both Medley and Freestyle relays. Outstanding performances by all swimmers set the standard for the weekend. Nick Cimbaro, Norman Anderson, Aidan Neilson, and Owen Bartlett put together a mixed age relay and earned a bronze medal in Division 6. Nick Cimbaro made finals in every event he entered. Evan Bosley completed his first breast stroke race and made it to finals where he placed eighth in the region. Maddison Fulton dropped an incredible 69 seconds as she clocked best times in every event she swam. Katie Bartlett posted best times in every event she raced. Ainsley Neilson swam a fantastic meet netting three out of four best times. As a result of the club’s hard work, Princeton is sending seven swimmers to provincials in Nanaimo to compete in three relays and four individual events.

British Columbia’s top juvenile golfers head to Princeton Golf Club

Two local boys will be playing in the tournament. Michael White will tee off at 7:57 a.m. and Tristen VanderMeulen will tee off at 8:33 a.m. on opening day. Richmond, British Columbia (BRITISH COLUMBIA GOLF)-British Columbia Golf’s Juvenile Boys’ and Girls’ Championship is heading to Princeton Golf Club in Princeton, B.C. on August 21-23, 2012. Featuring fairways lined with Ponderosa Pines, Princeton Golf Club will play as a par-73 5,643 yard course for the Girls’ Championship compared to a par-72 6,506 yard course for the Boys’ Championship. Defending his 2011 Boys’ title against a hungry field of challengers will be Trevor Yu of Vancouver. Yu recently captured the Canadian Juvenile Boys’ Championship in a record setting fashion and would love to add another B.C. title to his résumé. Challengers to his reign on top will be 2012 CN Future Links Pacific champion Zach Anderson of Nanaimo, 2012 BC Summer Games silver medalist Diego San Pedro of Richmond and third place finisher at the 2012 B.C.

Kim, Victoria’s Naomi Ko and Richmond’s Janet Zhang to take the title. Other notables for contention include Coquitlam’s Ally Shin, Vernon’s Mackenzie Barrie and Halfmoon Bay’s Avery Struck.

Prospects in the Similkameen Part 3 Is there still gold in the hills above Cawston? Big is not necessarily better - nor is it necessary - when it comes to developing economic mineral prospects Steve Arstad

Keremeos / Okanagan Falls Review

p until very recently, there was a landmark located just to the west of Highway 3A at the south entrance to Olalla marking the location of one of the most easily visible mining properties to residents of the Lower Similkameen. Valley residents travelling to Penticton have passed by the slowly decaying wooden bunker that marks the location of a nearby adit (tunnel) countless times on trips to the Okanagan. Situated about 50 metres north of the highway, sitting amidst a couple of manufactured homes at the base of the mountainside, the portal was evidence of prospecting work performed in 1948. Back then the prospect was a property belonging to Hedley Monarch Gold Mines Limited, with offices located on Granville Street in Vancouver. The company traded three million shares at roughly 50 cents in value in 1948, according to a report in the 1948 Report to the Minister of Mines. It further described the property as being bisected by “the newly paved and reconstructed Southern TransProvincial Highway.” Although the company did no mining on the property in 1948, a lease had been negotiated between Hedley Monarch, August D. Cameron and three partners. The report stated that ore was shipped from the “Shepherd adit,” confining activities to drifting and cutting boxholes on the “Sweetener” vein. A bunker was built at the portal of the Shepherd adit and the mined ore was trucked to Keremeos, where it was loaded onto a Great Northern Railway car for shipment to a Tacoma smelter. In November of that year two men were employed, with production amounting to 320 tons mined, and 255 tons of ore actually shipped, grading 137 ounces of gold and 128 ounce s of silver. At today’s prices, that ore was worth approximately $642 /ton in gold values and $12 ton in silver. The property’s mining rights are currently held by

a Similkameen resident today. Sadly, a piece of visible history was erased from the landscape in July of this year when the wooden bunker was removed.It had been a familiar sight at that location for 54 years. Further up in the hills of the East Similkameen lie a number of other properties that supported local jobs in past years, some of which continue to attract the attention of the mining industry. The best known of these properties are located along the Cawston-Fairview Road, and were responsible for the first settlement in the South Okanagan - the old townsite of Fairview. Photo by Steve Arstad Properties like the Stemwinder, Morning Star, Grandoro, Twin Lakes, Dolphin, Once a familiar landmark at the south entrance to Olalla, the old bunker that Sunrise and Fairview all have production marked the location of the former Hedley Monarch prospect was removed records associated with them in the BC only weeks ago.

A summary of the production records from all these properties reveals that the hills political climate, small, low tonnage operations may prove east of Cawston and west of Oliver have been a source of economically viable in the future - in much the same way they have done several times in the past. New technolomineral wealth in the past. These properties continue to be held by private interests gies in exploration and development may also contribute today. Major mining companies last took a serious look at to making these properties economically viable again as the area in the late 1980’s - but based on past history it is well - as history has a curious habit of repeating itself, doubtful that a multi-national mining company would be especially in the mining industry. interested in what are relatively low tonnage deposits, from an industry point of view.

Campﬁres banned until further notice Campfires are now banned in the Princeton area and throughout the region. The ban took effect at noon Aug. 17 for the Kamloops zone of the B.C.Forest Service’s Wildfire Management Branch. This step is being taken to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety. The fire danger rating is currently “high” throughout the region, with scattered pockets of “extreme.” With the current trend of warm and dry weather, wildfires in the region have displayed aggressive behaviour and required additional fire suppression resources, according to the Kamloops Fire Centre. Human-caused wildfires can divert critical resources and crews from responding to naturally occurring wildfires. Open burning is prohibited throughout the Kamloops zone except for the Clearwater area. This prohibition applies to open fires of any size, fires with a burn registration number, industrial burning, fireworks, tiki torches and burning barrels. The prohibition does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating that uses briquettes, liquid or gaseous fuel, as

long as the height of the flame is less than 15 centimetres. The open burning prohibition covers all provincial parks, Crown land and private land. Local governments may have other burning restrictions. Anyone found in violation of an open fire ban, including campfires, may be issued a ticket for up to $345. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness may be fined up to $1 million, spend up to three years in prison and be held accountable for associated firefighting costs. This prohibition will remain in place until the public is notified that it has been rescinded. For the latest information on current wildfire activity, burning restrictions, road closures and air quality advisories, go to bcwildfire.ca The latest wildfire news is also available at twitter.com/ BCGovFireInfo and facebook.com/BCForestFireInfo A map of the area covered by the campfire ban is available online at bit.ly/Q0tEMK

Ministry asking everyone to keep out the bad apples The Ministry of Agriculture is asking people not to bring apples from the Lower Mainland to the Okanagan and Similkameen in order to prevent the spread of an apple pest. Apple maggot (Rhagoletis pomonella) is established in the Fraser Valley, Greater Vancouver and Vancouver Island. The Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys of B.C. remain the only commercial appleproducing regions in North America free of this serious pest, according to the Ministry of Agriculture. The ministry is asking that people not take any fruit such as apples, crabapples, hawthorn, pears or plums, or any fruit bins or other containers used to hold apples out of the Lower Mainland. Nor should they transport plants with garden soil that were grown near fruit trees. If you receive fruit from the Lower Mainland that appears to be infested, contact the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) or a Ministry of Agriculture office. Apples are the most valuable edible There’s more online. CHECK US OUT! www.similkameenspotlight.com

tree fruit crop in B.C. About 58 per cent of all B.C. orchard land is planted in apples. About 91 per cent of B.C. apples are produced in the Thompson-Okanagan region, 48 per cent of which is in the Okanagan and Similkameen valleys. More than threequarters of the B.C. apple crop is sold fresh. The rest of the crop is processed. Apple juice is the most popular form of processed apples. Several insect pests including the apple maggot are located in the Lower Mainland and not in the commercial tree fruit growing area in the Interior. Apple maggot directly attacks fruit, making it brown, mushy and inedible. Fruits attacked include apples, crab apples, cherries, pears, plums and apricots. If introduced to the area, apple maggot would have a devastating impact on the Okanagan-Similkameen apple industry, with current annual sales of $130 million. The Okanagan-Similkameen growers have several programs to minimize pesticide use. The Similkameen Valley is renowned

for its organic production of tree fruits. Introduction of a new apple pest would reverse progress in reducing pesticide use. Besides the fruit, another source of infestation is the pupae in the soil around the base of infested trees, including apple, crabapple, pear, quince and hawthorn trees. Introduction of the pest to the OkanaganSimilkameen would require a lot of time to take actions to control the pest such as monitoring, pesticide application and increased grading activity. Cost of lost fruit would be in the millions of dollars. As well, pesticides would be introduced into the environment and organic production would be challenged. A federal apple maggot quarantine says it is illegal to move non-commercial tree fruit out of the designated quarantine areas. The areas include all of the Fraser Valley, Vancouver Island and Coastal BC. Restrictions also apply to 22 of 39 counties in Washington State. Apple maggot is spread mostly by people transporting apples from infested back-

yard apple trees to non-infested areas of the province. There is some spread from abandoned or poorly maintained orchards. Natural spread is a slow process because the adult fly doesn’t fly very far.

AUGUST 2012 CAPRICORN: It’s the little things that will catch your attention this week, Capricorn. A small detail, a particular color, a note in a song. If others overlook it, you’ll probably zone in on it. AQUARIUS: Expect some surprises when attending a get-together with family and friends. An interesting person comes into your life to provide some inspiration. PISCES: Pisces, a situation arises that forces you to think outside the box. Make decisions promptly but wisely, and you’ll be happy you did. ARIES: Aries, you may have to put your feelings on the line if you are to gain the respect of someone important to you. Although it may feel uncomfortable, forge ahead. TAURUS: Taurus, some light will be shed on a problem from a past relationship this week. This will strengthen your current relationships with family and friends. GEMINI: Expect a lot of passion and adventure this week and for the foreseeable future, Gemini. Talk to your partner about his or her desires as well. CANCER: Celestial energy will rejuvenate and reenergize you, Cancer. If things have been a little bit boring at home, someone you meet might just provide the spark you need. LEO: You can find many inspirational forces around you, Leo, which will aid you in making tough decisions. Pay special attention to an overheard conversation. VIRGO: Virgo, you may find yourself on the path to some exciting places if you hang out with the right people this week. This is not a time to back out; act outside of your comfort zone. LIBRA: Libra, you may be looking for a new adventure but haven’t a clue where to start. Anything is possible if you keep your eyes and ears open to everything around you. SCORPIO: Don’t put any limits on your love life, Scorpio. Even a relationship that has withstood the test of time can still prove exciting, spontaneous and adventurous. SAGITTARIUS: You may find that the energy surrounding you is just a bit overwhelming, Sagittarius. This is remedied by simply staying out of the limelight for a few days. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY

Obituaries

WILSON, DARRELL (DJ) November 17, 1988 ~ August 12, 2012 It is with deep sadness and broken hearts, we share the passing of our son DJ, who passed away at home on Sunday, August 12 from a long and torturous illness. He grew up loving the mountains around Princeton, and could often be found way up in the hills hunting or ďŹ shing. DJ was a thirteen year member of the Princeton RiďŹ&#x201A;e and Revolver Club, and well on his way to becoming a crack shot in both handgun and riďŹ&#x201A;e. Born and raised in Princeton, he graduated from Princeton Secondary School in June 2006. With hard work, DJ earned his class 1 drivers license in 2009 and began a driving career. DJ loved people and was always available to help someone in need, his kindness was larger than life. Even though he is gone, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll never be forgotten. DJ is survived by his loving father Darrell, mother Teresa, and younger brother Cody James. A service and tea will be held on Saturday, September 1 at 2:00 pm at The Kingdom Hall of Jehovahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Witnesses, Princeton Congregation. Everyone is welcome. ~Deeply missed but never forgotten~

REAL ESTATE DEFINITIONS: INTEREST: The cost of borrowing money for a given period of time. Interest is usually paid to the lender in installments along with repayment of the principal loan amount. INTEREST ADJUSTMENT DATE (“IAD”): A date from which interest on the mortgage advanced is calculated for regular payments. This date is usually one payment period before regular mortgage payments begin. Interest due between the date the mortgage is advanced and the IAD is due on closing. INTEREST RATE: The rate at which you pay interest to the lender. For example, when the mortgage balance is $100,000, and the interest rate is 6 per cent, one single annual payment will include $6,000 interest. More frequent payments will result in different amounts.
