Help them to “raise money and look good doing it” Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com
Movember, the month formerly known as November has become the month to “change the face of men’s health.” Beginning Nov. 1 men around the world shave their faces clean and then groom and grow the best and most creative moustache they can. Many men known as Mo Bros, seek sponsorships and with help and support from the women in their lives, (Mo Sistas) raise funds for men’s health initiatives. In Canada, the funds raised support men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health initiatives. Locally, a group of men have banded together and joined the Movember Canada movement. The team is registered on the Movember and Sons website. Team Weyerhaeuser Princeton consists of 21 members. Their team motivation is to “Raise money and to look good doing it.” On Nov. 1, all team members began their day, clean shaven. They will do their best throughout the month, to “grow a ‘stache,’ raise funds and raise awareness. Donations to individual members of the team or to the team as a whole can be made via credit card or pay pal on the site. Visit http://ca.movember.com or google search “Movember Canada.” In the search members bar, type in Weyerhaeuser to find the team, watch their progress and make your donation.

Municipal auditor starts in January Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Chartered accountant Basia Ruta starts work in January as B.C.’s first auditor general for local governments. The new position caused a stir among local politicians when Premier Christy Clark made it part of her leadership bid for the B.C. Liberal Party. Her platform promised to expand the provincial auditor-general’s office to include a municipal auditor, and to “review the municipal taxation formula.” Clark’s ministers for local government, Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Ida Chong and now Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, have emphasized that the Surrey-based Auditor General for Local Government will compare similar communities through performance audits and publish non-binding recommendations on which are more efficient. That is similar to how provincial and federal auditors work, relying on public pressure to move politicians to cut down waste. Local mayors and councillors balked when the idea came up at the 2011 Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. Some complained about an extra layer of costly bureaucracy, while others said the province was going to impose tax rate changes on communities. Those concerns faded as local politicians were assured they wouldn’t lose autonomy, and also

Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Bill Bennett
faced the prospect of campaigning against extra accountability. Clark promised there would be no costs passed on to local governments to run the auditor’s office. UBCM president Mary Sjostrum, mayor of Quesnel, said Wednesday she welcomes Ruta’s appointment. Ruta has worked in the federal Auditor General’s office and was chief financial officer for Environment Canada, as well as in private practice auditing local government, hospital and community organizations. Tinkering with municipal tax rates, especially for industries that subsidize popular low residential rates, has been raised and abandoned before, and won’t likely be seen before the next provincial election in May 2013.
Similkameen Wineries awarded 46 medals in Fall Wine Competitions Fall is an important time for wineries in the Similkameen. It’s time to pick, harvest, crush and process the grapes and fruits that go into the award-winning wines of the Similkameen. It’s time to winterize and prepare for the end of the season. It’s also time for the key fall wine events and wine awards. This fall, the wineries of the Similkameen Wineries Association won a staggering 46 medals for their submissions at the major wine competitions. The Wine Access International Value Wine Awards are held annually in Calgary, and have grown dramatically in size, success, and international reputation since they began in 2006. Each year, Canada’s leading wine experts evaluate over 1,200 wines from more than a dozen countries. This year, Clos du Soleil’s 2011 Pinot Blanc Baessler Growers Series won Judges’ Choice Award for White Single Varietals. In addition, Clos du Soleil won 2 silver medals and 2 bronze medals at the InterVin International Wine Competition. The Wine Access Canadian Wine Awards is an annual competition where Canada’s leading wine experts evaluate wines from across the country. The judging for the 2012 awards was held earlier this year in Penticton and included 1,255 registrations. Wineries from the Similkameen Wineries Association captured 32 of these awards including 8 silver medals and 24 bronze medals. Silver medals were awarded to Cerelia (1), Clos du Soleil (1), Orofino (2), Robin
Ridge (2), Rustic Roots (1) and Seven Stones (1). Bronze medals were awarded to Clos du Soleil (3), Eau Vivre (2), Forbidden Fruit Winery (5), Orofino (4), Robin Ridge (1), Rustic Roots Winery (5) and Seven Stones (4). Regionally, the Okanagan Fall Wine Awards judges wines from all regions of British Columbia. Wineries from the Similkameen Wineries Association picked up 9 British Columbia Wine Awards including a gold medal for Robin Ridge Winery’s 2010 Gamay. In addition, Cerelia picked up a bronze, Clos du Soleil a silver and two bronze, a silver and two bronze for Rustic Roots and a silver for Seven Stones. Sara Harker, President of the Similkameen Wineries Association explained, “The Similkameen has been producing amazing grape and fruit wines now for many years. We are absolutely thrilled that our very special little wine region is now starting to get such incredible recognition regionally, nationally and internationally”. Harker continued, “2012 was a very successful year for our wineries. These 46 awards, combined with the other awards we won during Spring Wine Festival (37), Gold Medal Plates (2), Lieutenant Governor Award for Excellence in BC Wines (1) and other wine events (7) represent 93 awards for our member wineries in 2012.” Harker was very pleased to report that “while the esteemed wine judges were in Penticton to

Earlier this year, John English an employee of Princeton Husky initiated a fundraising idea to assist the Princeton Highway Extrication Society (Highway Rescue) in an effort to help them acquire equipment and a new truck. A wish list was created, then promotions and fundraising began. “The community support has been tremendous,” said Doug Pateman, president of the society. To date, the society has also received grants and donations with special thanks to; Weyerhaeuser Canada - Rob Marshall, Jeff Larsen (Princeton) Wayne Roznowsky (Grande Prairie) for the grant of $8000, Marauders Car Club $1500, Ladies Hospital Auxiliary $10,000, Cooper’s Foods Fundraiser $1000, Southern Interior Medical Services $5,000 (Janice Perrino), RDOS Area - H $5000 (Brad Hope), Dr. Smith $1000 and Whipsaw Land and Cattle $1000.

Many careers in commercial road transportation Job seekers are in luck when it comes to the commercial road transportation industry in British Columbia. Trucking companies throughout BC require professional drivers, mechanics, dispatchers and operations staff right now, which means that job seekers with experience and/or training may find work within their preferred region. For those considering training prior to joining the workforce, demand for skilled workers in the industry is likely to grow – to 2020 and beyond. There are a number of reasons for this. For truck drivers, the industry is facing a North America-wide shortage because most are 45 years of age or older and nearing retirement (in fact, in Canada, according to a report by the Canada Trucking Human Resources Council, 58 percent of longhaul truck drivers fall in this age range). Similar shortages exist for other jobs, including diesel engine and heavy duty mechanics. Aside from worker shortages, economic growth in the Asia-Pacific Gateway is also driving demand for workers in transportation. This applies not only to companies in the Lower Mainland, but in other regions as well, since the Asia-Pacific “Gateway” is actually made up of an integrated supply chain of airports, seaports, rail and road connections, and border crossings, from Prince Rupert to Surrey, with links supplied by trucking. Today’s trucking industry is an exciting place to be. Equipment in many companies is state of the art, meaning increased comfort and ease for drivers and opportunities for mechanics to work with technologically advanced systems, keeping both their skills and interest engaged. Dispatch relies on sophisticated tracking and routing systems. Others on the operations side also use information technology of many kinds to deal with every-
thing from licences and permits, to customer services, accounting, sales and marketing. And, people joining the industry have many career choices. Drivers, for example, may work close to home as pick-up and delivery or short-haul drivers. Those who like the idea of travelling across Canada or North America can become long-haul drivers for an employer or work as owner-operators. Drivers may haul consumer goods, fuel, logs, heavy-duty equipment, livestock – most of what we purchase or consume spent some time on the road with a commercial truck! If you already have experience as a driver, mechanic or operations worker, most companies advertise jobs on their websites. Members of the BC Trucking Association from across the province may post jobs under Careers on www.bctrucking.com, and the provincial and federal governments maintain job sites at WorkBC www.workbc.ca/Jobs/ and Working in Canada www.workingincanada. gc.ca/ - choose to Explore Careers by Occupation, then by Region). Within your own community, it may also pay to approach a company you’d like to work for, drop off a résumé and inquire if and when they’ll be hiring. If you’d like to enter the industry but need training, there are also many avenues to explore.

SpotlightOPINION We will remember them Staff Writer Black Press
It’s been 94 years since hostilities in the First World War ceased and armistice was signed. As we all know, it wasn’t the war to end all wars. Just a few years later, there was the Second World War. That was then followed by Korea, the Cold War, Kuwait, Afghanistan and numerous peacekeeping missions. But while the bloodshed has continued, the significance of the lives lost cannot be undervalued. It is because of those valiant men and women that we live in the Canada that we take for granted today. Not only are we able to elect our governments, but more importantly, we can openly challenge our elected officials. In some nations, such actions lead to prison or death sentences. We are able to worship in our own way, or not worship at all. Police don’t set up roadblocks when residents take to the street to protest oil pipelines or other issues of concern. All of this is largely possible because of the sacrifice of our valiant men and women who went to battle. Many never saw their loved ones again, and for those that did, life was never the same because of physical and emotional disabilities. Remembrance Day isn’t about glorifying violence but paying tribute to the human spirit — the ability to overcome the darkest of odds. Democracy is fragile and worth fighting for, and our veterans laid down their lives for that ideal.

A successful Poppy Campaign in 2012 Dear Editor, As we approach the final hours of our national Poppy Campaign, and on behalf of the millions of Canadians who have had the opportunity to wear a Poppy this year, I want to thank our more than 330,000 Legion members in more than 1,500 Legion branches across Canada, the United States and in Europe for their support and dedication for this campaign. With an estimated 18 million Poppies worn this year, our efforts to remember the more than 117,000 servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice have been recognized. By making a donation and wearing a Poppy, Canadians of all ages support Canadian Forces and RCMP Veterans and their families as well as the many the communities where we live. The Poppy Campaign makes it possible for the Legion to operate a Service Bureau which acts as an advocate for Veterans and RCMP members and their families to ensure their quality of life is the best it can be. Every year, the money collected through the Poppy Campaign is used to provide direct assistance for Veterans and their families who are expe-
riencing financial distress. The funds are used to pay for food, accommodation, utilities, hospital comforts and dental and optical services. The Legion truly cares about all Veterans, not just by advocating on their behalf, but by engaging in everyday activities to make their lives better. In fact, our most recent records show more than $13 million were disbursed as benevolent awards to Canada’s Veterans and serving personnel. Again, thank you to the thousands of Legion members who helped with our Poppy Campaign and to the millions of Canadians who have proudly supported our campaign this year. We are truly grateful. We Will Remember Them,
Sincerely yours; B. FitzGerald Princeton, BC

Dear Editor, At these times of fast communication did you know it takes anywhere from 0 - 3+ hours to get an answer at your 1-800 number for Old Age Pension information, not only for us seniors, but also for employees at our Service Canada Centres. If our Ministry looking after our seniors can stop payment of our Old Age Pensions without any notice, what is coming next after raising our eligibility age to 67? This scenario has happened to this senior four times in seven years so far. As a person living in the country 90 miles away from the nearest Service Canada office, and it takes 3+ days to get a solution to a problem, there sure is a big problem in the system.

In my case it cost me at least $150 in gas alone when it costs $42 in taxes out of that $150. Another odd thing is that an MP can’t or won’t help you if you don’t live in his riding, I thought they work for ALL Canadians. When our MPs can collect on their pension at the age of 55 with only four years of service it tells me who is looking after their own selves. It is becoming quite transparent that the Canadian population only count on Election Day for their vote. I would really like to hear from other seniors this has happened to in the past so we can rectify it in the future. Yukon Eric Holopainen Princeton, BC
China’s win, Canada’s loss Dear Editor; re: The Canada-China Foreign Investment Protection Areement. PM Harper could commit Canada to the most sweeping trade deal in a generation without a single debate or vote. If the Canada-China FIPA passes, it will pave the way for China’s massive companies to spend billions buying-out Canada’s natural resource campanies. Under FIPA, China’s companies can sue Canadian governments, federal, provincial or municipal, in secret tribunals outside the Canadian court system if those governments do anything that would limit the companies’ profits in Canada. The FIPA would tie our hands for 31 years, making it possible for China’s companies to challenge Canadian laws that create jobs, protect our environment and build healthy communities with billion-dollar lawsuits that would cost taxpayers dearly. Canada has already spent hundreds of millions on penalties from lawsuits launched under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Right now Belgium is facing a $3 billion suit from one of China’s companies because of a similar foreign investor agreement. Why would Prime Minister Harper lock us into this secretive and extreme deal? It’s short term gains for long-term pain, and Canadians and Chinese alike have a right to a say in the decisions that will shape our lives. If you are concerned about this, please quickly spread the word and contact your member of Parliament. Karen Findlay, Keremeos B.C.

Legislation needed Answer the bloomin’ phone! Dear Editor; Recycling Facility - Any visit to this valuable and well managed facility will reveal the shortcomings of the Canadian recycling initiative despite the continued commitment of many Canadians to support it. For example, other than milk jugs, only plastic identified as Type 1 and Type 2 are recyclable. All other plastics placed in the “coloured plastic” crate at our recycling facility are removed and dumped in the landfill. Surely it is time for “government” to become involved in the packaging industry as it is in other countries. For example all packing used in the importation of automobile parts in Germany must be removed at the auto manufacturers expense. It cannot be disposed of or even recycled in Germany. Legislation controlling the types of packaging that producers, suppliers and retailers use must be restricted to only those types of plastic that are recyclable. Another example - all yogurt, butter and margarine tubs on the shelves at Coopers Foods are non-recyclable because they are not of the Types 1 and 2 yet Type 1 and Type 2 plastics are available and perfectly suitable of this use. This means that every yogurt, butter and margarine tub (to pick on use by just one industry) ends up in the landfill - needlessly.

On the first Wednesday in November, grade nine students across Canada have the opportunity to participate in Take our Kids to Work day. (TOKW) Take our Kids to Work is an initiative that was introduced 18 years ago by the Learning Partnership - a national charitable organization dedicated to championing a strong public education system in Canada. For students, this day provides an opportunity to learn what skills will be required in the workplace, encouraging them to stay in school to acquire those skills. TOKW helps students develop respect and appreciation for their parents’/caregivers careers and roles in supporting the family. This day also provides students with an opportunity to experience career options first hand, giving them a taste of what choices and opportunities lay before them.

Princeton Minor Posse - Midget Rep home opener vs Lillooet November 17 Contributed Dean Johnston
Nine weeks after stepping onto the ice the Princeton Minor Posse Midgets are coming home to play for the first time this season. For that matter, this will be the first time in many seasons. The team is stoked to suit up at home. The rocky road to mid November has been loaded with promise in every game, only to be each time bowled over by a shortage of legs on the bench. If the 0-5 start has been frustrating, the common theme is that every opponent has heaped praise on the players for their ability and heart. Inevitably to date strong showings up to the mid point of each game has slowly unraveled due to a shortage of players on the bench. This past weekend was the only game that the team finished with 10 skaters. Recent roster additions, added to the promise of two returning injured players over the next month, have buoyed

Following this weekend’s Saturday 6:30 p.m., and Sunday 9:45 a.m., games vs Lillooet , the team has two home weekends in December, and two more in January. Added to that will be fuel from first true home game for almost all the players in 3-4 years. Many have played rep out of town while the balance have just not had a team to play on. The result is a dedicated, resilient group that more often than not plays with big smiles on beneath the cage. The team invites you to share this weekend and cheer on local boys against the top team in the league.

Snowy owl visits downtown Victoria Tom Fletcher Black Press
Downtown Victoria’s courthouse had an unusual visitor Thursday, a snowy owl that made a rest stop on the sixth floor. Sporting plumage better suited to swooping down on winter-white rabbits hopping over snowdrifts, the elegant bird stood out among the street crows and seagulls that dominate the sky in the B.C. capital. According to bird experts, such sights are rare but not unknown around B.C. and beyond as winter sets in. Canadian Geographic notes that while their thick feathers are suited for year-round life in Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia, some head south in winter as far as the U.S. state of Georgia. Unlike most owls, snowy owls

VICTORIA - B.C. government funding is now available to support local food producers by encouraging British Columbians to shop for food produced in their own communities. The Buy Local Program will offer applicants matching funds from $5,000 to $100,000 to launch or expand local food marketing campaigns. Eligible organizations include associations, cooperatives, marketing boards, Aboriginal groups, companies and non-profit organizations. “Since being appointed minister, I have been meeting with farmers and food processors in communities right across our province, and I have been hearing some great ideas on how we can promote our diverse British Columbian food products. Now is the time to turn those ideas into new dollars for local food producers. I encourage those eligible and interested in promoting local products to apply for the funding that is available.” ~ Minister of Agriculture Norm Letnick. The campaigns can promote B.C. food, seafood, agricultural products, agritourism, and include in-store promotions, social media or web campaigns, traditional advertising and onproduct labelling. All applicants must have a head office in or be registered in B.C. Funding is available on a first-come, firstserved basis. Applications will be reviewed by an Industry Advisory Committee comprised of representatives from farming, manufacturing, seafood, restaurant and the retail sectors. Building the local market for B.C. foods is a key commitment of government’s Agrifoods Strategy, a component of the B.C. Jobs Plan, to lead the agrifoods sector growth into a $14-billion-a-year industry by 2017. The complete application criteria and program information including application forms are available through: www.gov.bc.ca/agri/buylocal.html

are not nocturnal. It is believed their daytime hunting behaviour developed during the almost constant daylight of far north summers when they typically nest and breed. Male snowy owls can be completely white, while females always have some brown feathers. A 1994 article by Alan MacLeod for “British Columbia Field Ornithologist” reports sightings in the Martindale Valley in southern Vancouver Island’s Saanich Peninsula. “Snowy owl has been recorded, and it’s no surprise,” MacLeod writes. “The flats are well suited to this species’ habitat preferences; in their periodic ‘invasion’ years, Snowies are as likely to turn up at Martindale as anywhere else on the peninsula.”

the Leisure Guide has listed what is available for the fall and winter seasons. There are many child and youth opportunities as well as for adults, young and old. Last but most definitely not least, we have the cultural groups which provide interactive and edifying experiences. The Bridge Club, The Garden Club, the Museum, The Rock and Fossil Club and the Vermilion Forks Naturalists each invite us to participate in stimulating activities. If you are a new member of our community (or are just plain interested in what’s going on) and you would like more information about the groups, drop into the Sunflower Gallery from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursdays through Saturdays or check out the Princeton Arts Council website: www.princetonarts. ca/Princeton_Arts.html. When I moved to Princeton 20 years ago, the first thing I did was join the Arts Council and “voila,� I was part of a friendly and engaging community. I highly recommend it!

First off, I have to say this missive is a shameless plug for the Princeton Community Arts Council and its member groups. I just happen to be a person that can say how lucky we are to have such an organization that works for us, supporting all sorts of cultural activities and opportunities to engage our senses and our minds. I will give you some examples: For the performing arts aficionados we have the Concert Series, the Crimson Tine Players, the Princeton Traditional Music Festival and the Princeton Community Band. We have the Country and Blues Association, eclectic summer performances in the gazebo as well as spontaneous events around town. These are all ‘live’ with real folks giving us all they’ve got. If you are interested in the visual arts, there are The Bunchgrass Quilters, the Sunflower Gallery, the Urban Sketchers, and the revamped and soon-to-be-renamed visual arts group which includes painters, sketchers, printmakers, potters and sculptors.

A tasty twist on a versatile favorite Egg, Shrimp and Scallion Pancakes Serves 4 to 6 with 2 or 3 other dishes 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled 5 eggs, beaten 2 scallions, white and green parts, chopped Salt Canola or other neutral oil for frying Fish sauce or light (regular) soy sauce for serving 1. Refresh the shrimp by putting them in a colander and tossing them with a liberal amount of salt. Rinse immediately under cold water and press gently to drain well. Put the shrimp in a bowl, add the eggs and scallions, and mix well. 2. Put enough oil into a large nonstick skil-
CAPRICORN: You may face a decision that gives you pause from an ethical or humanitarian standpoint, Capricorn. Give it some thought before deciding what to do. AQUARIUS: Aquarius, this week you may want to make a second attempt at something that didn’t quite work out the first time. You may be surprised by the results this time around. PISCES: Pisces, your innovative approach could certainly work in your favor this week. Don’t be afraid to apply this approach to your finances. ARIES: This is the time to get started on long-overdue work, Aries. Things will go smoothly if you focus all of your attention on the tasks at hand and avoid distractions. TAURUS: Taurus, do not worry about being productive all of the time. You need to recharge to be in top form when you are called into action. Tuesday could be busy. GEMINI: Gemini, expect some additional energy that enables you to sail through tasks at work in record speed. The sky is the limit when you have so much energy. CANCER: Cancer, there are certain tasks that you may find you cannot complete on your own. That is when you should delegate or ask someone with more experience to help you. LEO: Leo, it’s smart if you hold your tongue for a few days until a situation at home has a chance to blow over. Otherwise you can run the risk of escalating things unnecessarily. VIRGO: Virgo, if there’s something that you have wanted to try, such as a hobby or sport, now is the time to do so. You have the confidence needed to try different things. LIBRA: What you need most of all this week is to escape the confines of the four walls and simply spend plenty of time outdoors, Libra. Your mind will be cleansed. SCORPIO: Scorpio, adventure brings excitement and you are ready for some creative flow of energy and a change of pace. Keep your eyes peeled for all of the opportunities coming your way. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, this week you will take steps toward getting more organized at work and at home. Clean out drawers and closets and remove any clutter that has accumulated. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY
let to coat the bottom thinly. Place over medium heat and heat until a drop of egg immediately sizzles and bubbles upon contact with the oil. To make each pancake, ladle about 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture into the skillet, making sure that a few shrimp are included in each portion, and then quickly nudge the shrimp in each pool of egg so they don’t overlap. Fry only as many pancakes at once as will fit without crowding, about 3 pancakes at a time in a 12-inch skillet. Don’t worry about the shape each one takes, as they are
meant to be free-form. When the edges of a pancake are set and lightly browned, after about 2 minutes, use a spatula to turn it carefully. (If the pancakes have stuck together, use the spatula to separate them before flipping.) Fry for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until browned on the second side. Transfer the finished pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you fry the rest. 3. Arrange the pancakes in 2 plates or a platter and serve with the fish sauce for dipping.

In Memoriam
Twenty years ago In loving memory of our precious beautiful daughter Michelle Kathleen Webster, who was tragically taken for us November 12, 1992 at the age of seventeen... “A beautiful rose lent not given, to bud on earth but bloom in heaven. Michelle… You are rainbows and flowers Sunny days and warm breezes Laughter and love… Your look so sweet still flows and flows. Filling our lives with a warmth that shows you are there. Your life was about giving, giving unselfishly of yourself. Other people coming first. A hug, a kiss when they were needed and even, When they weren’t… You are the summer softness of a warm caressing breeze. And you are in the fallen beauty of November’s first snow. Your smiling face smiles brightly on the brightest star we know… Somewhere beyond the sunset. Where the loveliness never dies. She dwells in a beautiful garden With the blue and gold of the skies. We who have loved and known her Whose parting brought great pain Will treasure her memory forever Until we meet again… Our Princess Michelle is in the arms of Jesus… We love and miss you so very much Michelle.. Mom and Dad, Auntie Char, Jennifer, Uncle Russ and Auntie Darla.

PRODUCTION SUPERVISOR
(nee Young) April 10, 1936 - November 1, 2012
Dot passed away in the Chilliwack General Hospital after coping bravely against advanced cancer. Her husband of 54 years, Monty, daughters Kathy (Allan) and son son Montry Monty Jr. (Kristie) were and Cindy (James), and by her bedside at the time of her peaceful parting. Dot was born in Bathurst NB. At age twenty (1956) she ventured west; trained at Essondale (Riverview) RAINE and became a dedicated Psychiatric Nurse until May 1991. Words seem inadequate to describe Dot’s loving and caring personality combined with a keen sense of humour and the perseverance to persist against adversity. In many ways she was the bond that united her diverse, extended family into a harmonious oneness. For the past twenty one years the residence in Princeton was known simply and appropriately as Grannieland. When living in Pitt Meadows Dot played the organ at the local Anglican Church, and the home on McMyn, during the sixties and seventies, was often the scene for much jovial, heartwarming togetherness, highlighted by her piano playing skills. In later years, at the Princeton Branch 30 Seniors Hall, Dot tickled the ivories with delicate feeling or wild abandon when playing for the Movers and Shakers entertainment group. On that note, Dot’s husband and family wishes to thank the innumerable Princeton friends and acquaintances who made the Raines life so enjoyable and satisfying during the past twenty one years in their presence. Princeton was the destination of choice for retirement and the welcome mat was immediately evident. Dot’s recreational passion was bowling in both Princeton and Chilliwack in recent years. Many friendships were born and prospered at the alleys and she liked nothing better than having family members of all ages congregate for an evening of fun bowling. For all of her loving, trustful years as wife to Monty, she still retained, with his blessing, a persistent streak of independence which was proven when she drove solo across Canada to New Brunswick and back again in 2004, a total of approximately 3600 miles. Two months after returning she rolled her car over a steep embankment on the Hope Princeton Highway within ten miles of home. In the dark, after extricating herself from the vehicle, she struggled seventy five feet or more up the clay and bushy slope to be picked up by a passing trucker. Dot was predeceased by son Garry (1973) and brothers Ernie, Art, and Bob. Only a few weeks before her passing and accompanied by daughter Kathy, Dot miraculously travelled to New Brunswick and spent a week with her remaining brother Norm; a trip that was her silver lining around the dark cloud of apprehension. Dot Dot has has always always been been aa lover lover of of her her pet pet dogs dogs that that she she ‘saved’ ‘saved’ by by adopadoption. First tion.
