Congratulations go out to the Tulameen locals (and Tulameen fans) who worked so hard to vote in the Readers’ Digest “Canada’s Most Interesting Towns” contest. Voting closed on December 18, and Tulameen had a whopping 120,033 votes, coming in with the third highest votes out of a total of 661 entries. That is pretty impressive for a town of only 250 people. On January 17 winners of the contest will be announced and cash prizes awarded. Judges will decide from all

the entries which towns deserve the title “Canada’s Most Interesting Towns”, and the towns with the most votes will be featured in upcoming magazines. Regardless of whether Tulameen wins a prize, they have shown that with a lot of community spirit, even a small town can make itself noticed. The competition was fierce. Day after day thousands of bleary eyed Canadians perched hypnotically at their computers, punched in codes and voted for their favourite towns over and over again. Aproned mothers across the country, ladle in hand, told their families “no soup for you until you

SpotlightNEWS Cooper’s Foods raises funds and goods for food bank Throughout the month of December Cooper’s Foods has been selling unit bags of goods to benefit the local food bank. On Saturday, Dec. 15, manager Rob Bett and employee Jackie Wales manned the hot dog sale fundraiser out in front of the store. “There has been great customer response,” said Bett, “We’ve raised more than last year so far.” During the afternoon on Saturday, children had the opportunity to visit with Santa at the store.

Senior Citizen’s Branch #30 has a busy and productive year Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com
2012 has been a busy working year for the members of the Senior Citizen’s Branch #30. Problems with the roof resulted in a new lower half being installed. Funding for this was with thanks to grant funding from “New Horizons for Seniors Program” (NHSP) NHSP is a federal grant funding program that supports projects that are lead by seniors who want to make a difference in the lives of others in their communities. Members joined forces this year to build a much needed storage shed on the grounds. Grant funding from the Town of Princeton enabled the Seniors to purchase some new appliances for the kitchen. “We’ve done a lot of repair work this year,” said 2012 president Willi Drees. “We have more planned for the next year as well,” added past president Keith Parsons. Newly elected president for 2013, Anita Drees organized a dinner/silent auction fundraiser to assist the local organization, Save Our Similkameen in their efforts to reinstate 24/7 services to the Princeton General Hospital emergency room. Past and current executive remain a close group who continually work well together. On the agenda for this year, the Seniors are hopeful to acquire a six burner stove, put cement slabs under the pool tables, upgrade the outdoor planters, place barricades in the parking lot to prevent damage to lot from large trucks
and are hoping to get new lounge furniture. Senior Citizen’s Branch #30 is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday and from 1 to 4 p.m., on Saturday and Sunday. It is a great atmosphere to meet with friends and or to participate in the various activities held each day. Seniors Branch #30 hosts exercise classes, craft and quilting classes and of course, is a great place to play pool. Pool tournaments are held once a month, and Whist and Crib tournaments are held the first Saturday of each month. Monday nights host Bingo and a 5:30 p.m., potluck dinner is held once per month as well. Numerous special events are held at the Seniors throughout the year. Beginning with the annual pot luck luncheon on January 1 (at 11:30 a.m.) holidays such as Valentines Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day and so on—the Senior’s have an event for each one. On December 9, the Christmas dinner quilt and basket raffle draws were held. First prize of the quilt went to Betty Sanderson of Tulameen and the second prize (tote bag) was won by Chris Bennett of Nanaimo, B.C. The Senior Citizen’s Branch #30 welcomes mature adults (not necessarily of senior age) to 99 plus years. Membership is $15 a year and entitles you to an excellent socializing opportunity as well as a place to keep fit and have plenty of fun. Stop in at 162 Angela Ave., behind Cooper’s Foods or call 250-295-7515 for more information.

give me 20 votes.” Teenagers begging to use the family car were told “no car without 30 votes.” Dedicated supporters sipped their double-double coffee from straws so as not to take their eyes, or their hands, off the keyboard as they cast their ballots. Oh Canada – “true patriot love” has shone through with this contest, eh! While many voted, others were scoping out the competition to find out which towns were sneaking up to them in numbers. Canadians love a challenge. So thanks, Readers’ Digest, for giving Canadians an opportunity to do some good, wholesome bragging about the towns they live in. I’m sure there will be a Canada-wide epidemic of carpel tunnel syndrome and computer shop owners will be rubbing their hands in glee as they replace worn out keyboards. It was great fun; and regardless of the outcome in January, we all know that Tulameen, the “little town that could” has once again proven itself to have great community spirit and pride. Congratulations on another job well done!

SpotlightOPINION Ancient secrets to modern happiness (NC)—Big or small, a life change is similar to the common cold. If you’ve spent time around someone who has deliberately chosen to change for the better, sooner or later you’ll catch the bug as well. Whether you want to lose weight, quit smoking, end a bad relationship, reduce debt or simplify your life, these proven strategies can help you figure out how to get off the fence and live your best life: One habit at a time Start with a 30-day challenge, focusing on just one habit. Write it out on paper, along with potential obstacles and strategies for overcoming them. Then commit fully. Reward every little success, and if you fail, figure out what went wrong, then try again. Eliminate the non-essential We all have many commitments in our life, starting with work, family, friends, partners, and more. Consider each of them carefully; focus on the value that each commitment brings and then edit brutally. Cultivate kindness Focus on being kind to others every day and you’ll see profound changes in your life. Volunteering to help those in need and taking the initiative to relieve suffering will improve your physical and mental health. Learn about what you can do to help reduce hunger, malnutrition and deadly diseases facing millions of children in developing countries, through non-profit organizations like Christian Children’s Fund of Canada (www.ccfccanada.ca). Exercise Take 30 minutes of your day to move your body, relieve stress and build confidence. Exercise helps fuel creativity and those ‘aha moments’. I am, I can, I will Become aware of your negative self-talk. Do a tally sheet throughout the day to track your negative thinking and replace each negative statement with a positive one. Practice saying your affirmations out loud, and the next time negative thoughts resurface you’ll be able to shift gears and stay on track.

Drunk driving laws. It’s easier to penalize all of us with zero tolerance laws Dear Editor; Drunk driving laws I see the local police out checking for drinking drivers in our town, kudos to them for being diligent and trying to keep our roads safe, its cold out there are they are to be commended. However, I do have a problem with our current laws, I believe them to be grossly unfair and penalize the wrong segment of our society. It seems that it’s easier to bring out laws that introduce sweeping changes under the belief that it will cure our problems, rather than enforce the penalties so richly deserved by those not smart enough to consider the ramifications of their actions. Case in point, the current case in the courts of the young woman who t-boned another young woman killing a young vibrant 22 year old rising star, this woman before the courts was clearly impaired to the point of not being able to walk. As of this minute, she hasn’t been sentenced, but will be by the time this is published, will she pay the price for what she’s done? We all doubt the penalty will be harsh enough, instead, it’s easier to penalize all of us with zero tolerance laws. I use an example, me, a life long non drinker who, on the odd occasion likes a dark
beer at the pub with my dinner, a real treat, buying a case of dark beer to drink at home is a waste, I won’t drink it all. So, it’s really nice to have one at the local pub, good for their business too, keeps the bottom line strong and ensures their success. However, .05 looms into the picture, jeopardy ensues if I get caught going home after said beer, and ultimately the local pubs suffer, especially the one at the top of the hill, so I won’t chance it. Sad. Because, it only takes one beer to put me around the legal limit, penalizing those of us who are wary enough to obey unfair laws. Our laws need enforcement, those who drive drunk will always, the offenders are in the news continually, with repeated offences, when in fact, they should see the inside of a cell long enough to ruin their lives as they have ruined others lives, that would be the fair thing to do. It surprises me that more people don’t complain about injuries to our civil liberties, liberties our predecessors fought long and hard for. I don’t support drinking driving in any way, there has to be a better way than scaring honest people into submission while still not dealing with the real problem, justice for those whose lives are changed forever by a thoughtless decision made by a fool.

Things I didn’t know about Charities and Non Profits Dear Editor; Last year was my first stint as a volunteer director on a nonprofit charity board. I always thought nonprofits provided much needed services in our communities; services which would not exist otherwise. This is continually reinforced for me. I am most amazed at the arduous struggle for existence faced by nonprofits. Securing donations requires time but also skill and knowledge. I have an expectation that my taxes, and all our taxes combined, help cover the cost of community services, yet most small nonprofits, which form the majority of all nonprofits, do not receive one cent from government ministries. Larger charities even find ministry funding inadequate and they must raise additional funds. There is much competition for the precious donor dollar, yet nonprofits do not all have the same resources to compete. Many small nonprofits also lose out when it comes to community gaming grants. Although managed by the BC government, these grants differ from ministry funding. Community gaming grants are not available for seed funding. In the first year of operations, a nonprofit must find seed funding often from community donors and local businesses. Donors and businesses are inundated by hundreds of requests each year and can only respond to a lucky few.
Community gaming grants do not cover full program costs. Additional funds must come from elsewhere, other than government ministries. In the case where a nonprofit is successful at raising funds one year, community gaming rules stipulate that a nonprofit must not have more than 50% of the previous years’ operating costs as cash on hand. This in essence penalizes their fundraising efforts. These community gaming grant rules and fundraising requirements serve to keep community service nonprofits in continual hardship, much like the causes and people they serve. I imagine that if community gaming funding provided to community service providers was what was originally promised to the people of BC, things would be different. In 1999 this amount was $125 million. While gaming revenues increased, almost exponentially, the amount provided to charities decreased. According to the MOU, today’s gaming revenues of $1.1 billion dollars, would provide nonprofits with over 300 million dollars annually. What a difference that would make to community services and the nonprofits providing these services! Judith Bernard Board Director South Okanagan Similkameen Volunteer Centre Society

Merritt home to first BC Conservative Candidate to declare in the running for the Fraser Nicola Riding BC Conservative Party members, from across the Fraser Nicola electoral district, gathered this afternoon in the Cache Creek community hall. “Today’s event was to officially bring in to existence the BC Conservative Party Constituency Association for Fraser Nicola ... and secondly to hear the announcement of the first person who has declared they will seek the nod of members to run in next Mays provincial election”, declared Regional Director Alan Forseth. Elected to the first board were Dan Cummings of Savona, Wayne Ferguson of Seton Portage, Ted Lund of Merritt, Patrick Mulldoon of Logan Lake, Shaun Freeman of Savona, as well as Michael Beauclair of Merritt. Following the election of the board members, Forseth then went on to announce the first person approved to seek the nomination for Fraser Nicola. “It is my pleasure today to introduce you to an individual who is married, has two children, and who lives in the community of Merritt. He has worked with timber for over 24 years, and has scale and graded our provinces most precious natural resource for 17 years on the Coast and the Interior.” “That individual is Michael Beauclair” Mr. Beauclair spoke for several minutes, talking the time
to let members know a bit about himself, and the things that are, and will be, important to voters in the riding in the next election. “I believe that the key to prosperity, in extracting natural resources, is free-market system that is based on honest weights and measures. I also believe in, and am a strong advocate of, value-added manufacturing of forest products.” Beauclair continued, “We have all seen first hand the every increasing job loses in the forest industry in recent years. We must ensure that we extract more value from our forests to, sustain both employment now, and into the future.” “If you choose to elect me to represent you in the riding of Fraser Nicola, I stand fully committed to the BC Conservative Party ideals of honesty, accountability and personal responsibility. These elements are key in delivery of honest, open and limited government.”, he went on to say. In the weeks and months ahead Michael will engage the people of the Fraser-Nicola, and promote the ideals of the BC Conservative Party, as he campaigns to win the parties nomination.

Ottawa to end authorized home grow-ops for medical pot Marijuana for prescription users to be produced commercially Kevin Diakiw Black Press
The federal government is poised to eliminate licensed medical marijuana grow-ops in homes that have long been criticized over safety concerns and connections to the illegal drug trade. Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq announced Sunday a planned shift to a new system of federally regulated commercial producers of medical pot who will supply authorized users who have a prescription from their doctor. “Under our new rule, only facilities that meet strict security requirements will be able to produce marijuana for medical purposes,” Aglukkaq told a press conference in Maple Ridge on Sunday. The new system – which also ends government production of medical pot –is expected to come at a sharply higher price for the nearly 26,000 users authorized to possess medical marijuana. Local authorities have argued most medical pot home growers are producing far more plants than they require, suggesting rampant abuse of the program by licensees selling into the illicit market. “The high value of marijuana on the illicit market increases the risk of home invasions,” Aglukkaq noted. “These production operations can also present fire and toxic mould hazards.” The Fire Chiefs Association of B.C. (FCABC) said the change will improve safety in residential neighbourhoods. “The fire service across Canada has been raising the alarm about the fire and safety risks associated with growing marijuana indoors for many years,” said FCABC President Len Garis, who is also Surrey’s fire chief. “We applaud the government for taking action on this issue.” Garis stressed that the fire service has never been concerned about the use of marijuana for medical purposes. “Our focus is on how medical marijuana is grown,” he said. “The fact is, medical marijuana has typically been grown in a residential setting, which is not suitable or safe for growing marijuana.” Under the previous regulations, medical marijuana grow operations operated without
their local municipal government’s knowledge or approval, and were not subject to health, fire, building or plumbing inspections. Research indicates that both criminal and medical residential marijuana grow operations result in similar health, fire and safety hazards associated with unsafe electrical work, structural changes and excessive moisture. Taking marijuana production out of homes and into a licensed commercial environment is a step in the right direction, Garis said. “We are happy to see Health Canada commit to inspecting and auditing medical marijuana producers to make sure they comply with all regulatory requirements,” he said. “We would like to see them take a further step and ensure that all previous residential growing sites are remediated, and that future buyers are made aware that these homes were previously used to grow marijuana.” The federal Ministry of Health said it intends to implement the system by March 31, 2014, at which point all current licences to possess or produce pot would expire. The government is holding a 75-day comment period for the public to give feedback on the proposal (at http://bit.ly/U4xtqi), which will end on Feb. 28, 2013. The details of the new regulations are available on the ministry’s website (http://bit.ly/ SFDUlX). ~ with files from Jeff Nagel and CTV News

Wildfire protection funding change helps communities B.C. municipalities, regional districts and First Nations will soon get more help to protect their communities and local infrastructure from wildfire threats, Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson announced last week. In April 2011, the ministry announced new funding of $25 million for the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative. This initiative supports the development of community wildfire protection plans (CWPPs) and fuel management projects in interface areas where urban development borders on forested lands. The Union of B.C. Municipalities administers the funding, distributing grants to communities on behalf of the B.C. government. Fuel management is the ongo-

Wow guests this holiday season The holiday season is a season of hosting friends and family. This holiday season, wow your loved ones with a helping of “Green Beans Sauteed with Wild Mushrooms” courtesy of Peggy Knickerbocker’s “Simple Soirees” (Stewart, Tabori & Chang). Green Beans Sauteed with Wild Mushrooms Serves 6
11/2 pounds haricots verts or green beans, trimmed Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat the butter and the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until it becomes trans-
3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 1/2 pound chanterelles or other wild mushrooms, cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces Salt and freshly ground black pepper
CAPRICORN: Capricorn, your feelings of restlessness might be because you’re not accustomed to sitting still for too long. You will think of ways to fill the time. AQUARIUS: Broaden your social contacts, Aquarius, and this way you will extend your professional reach as well. There always are opportunities for networking. PISCES: You may find that needs at home quickly drain you of any energy, Pisces. Simplify your routine to find some relief. ARIES: Both social and business communication require some tact this week, Aries. You can handle it, and you should be prepared to meet some interesting people. TAURUS: Taurus, your confidence and energy are strong, but you seem to be having difficulty sitting still for enough time to get a handle on other people’s opinions and viewpoints. GEMINI: New options present themselves that are excellent for educational pursuits, Gemini. Friends will be supportive of any ideas that you devise, even if they seem a little off-center. CANCER: Cancer, this week you could gain the attention of people in high positions. Use the opportunity to get your best points heard if you have the chance. LEO: Leo, this should be one of those glorious weeks when you have the feeling that everything is moving along smoothly and according to your master plan. VIRGO: Virgo, your confidence is high and there is just about nothing that you fear or think you cannot handle this week. Float along on these feelings of euphoria for a while. LIBRA: Libra, you will show leadership in your profession over the next several days. This also will extend into your personal life, where you may have more energy in home affairs. SCORPIO: Scorpio, indulge your curiosities, as your imagination and creativity are very high. Projects that require artistic work or writing should be the top priority on your list. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, this is a good week to explore new business opportunities. Apply your efforts to solving some complex problems that others have shied away from. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY
lucent. Add the mushrooms, cooking them until they give off their juices and then reabsorb them, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep the mushrooms warm on the stovetop. Add the beans to the boiling water and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until slightly tender (haricots verts will take

less time than green beans). Drain. Transfer about half of the mushrooms to a small dish and keep warm. Add the beans to the mushrooms in the skillet and stir to combine. Mound the beans and the mushrooms gently on a serving platter and top with the reserved mushrooms. Season again with salt and pepper.
