Princeton Secondary Senior Girls Rebels are off to the ‘A’ Provincial Basketball Championships in Prince George next week. The Rebels, currently second in the province played a gruelling weekend of basketball winning two out of three tournament games at the Okanagan Valley Championships held last weekend in Kelowna. The Rebels won their games against St. Ann’s (Kamloops) 72 to 31 and Kelowna Christian School Knights, 65 - 53. They lost to Immaculata (Kelowna), but their wins secured them a spot in the Provincials. During the final game, Angela Marshall was named the ‘Most Inspirational Player’ and Julia Reichert was named ‘Player of the Game.’ This Provincial trip will be the fourth one for Julia Reichert, Angela Marshall, Ciara Bamford and Briana Musgrove. Having made it to the Provincials in grades eight, nine and 11, this will be the final high school Provincial Basketball Tournament for the four girls as they will graduate in June. Coaches Rob Marshall, Colleen Stevens and Brent McClelland will head out with team members;

‘Modest’ surplus rests on low spending Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Finance Minister Mike de Jong unveiled his government’s promised balanced budget Tuesday, bolstered by Crown property sales, increased income tax rates and economic growth expected to continue for three years. De Jong’s projections call for spending to increase by 1.5 per cent overall in the coming three years, with health care spending increases of 2.3, 2.7 and 2.2 per cent over the same period. “This is not enough even to maintain existing health care services, given the cost of population growth and inflation, not to mention what’s needed to make needed improvements,” said Debra McPherson, president of the B.C. Nurses’ Union.

The Local Experts
“As a result, health authorities will be forced to continue jamming hospital patients into offices, lounges and other areas not designed for patient care, as well as using hallways to take up the slack.” De Jong argued that the government has already established a track record of containing the rise of health care funding in recent years. His budget also adds a four per cent increase in Medical Services Plan premiums to take effect next January, the latest in a series of increases paid by individuals or their employers for basic medical care. Business organizations are concerned about a one per cent increase in corporate income tax, on top of the carbon tax on fossil fuels and the end of the harmonized sales tax that provided input tax credits.

The Princeton Special Olympics team would like to extend a huge thank you to the Princeton Curling Club for donating the ice time to hold the Fun Three Team Curling Tournament and for also donating hats and scarves for prizes. Fourteen curlers attended with the first place red ribbon going to Penticton Special Olympics. (Black jackets with a large red maple leaf on the back) Second place ribbon went to the Princeton team who were sporting their blue and black competition shirts and jackets.
Third place went to the South Okanagan Special Olympics team who had participated in their very first curling tournament. Coach Ian of Princeton, Coach Lee of South Okanagan and coaches Mona and Donna of Penticton were all pleased as their athletes performed draws and take outs in the Princeton rink. Thank you to Round the Corner Café for the tasty chili, delicious muffins and healthy fruits provided for the athletes.

Keremeos / Okanagan Falls Review
Six outstanding citizens of the South Okanagan - Similkameen were honoured on February 21 by the awarding of a Queen’s Jubilee medal, presented to them by BC Southern Interior MP Alex Atamanenko. Three citizens of the Similkameen and three from the South Okanagan were given the medals, which commemorate the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne. James Ouellette of Oliver, Kim Schur of Oliver and Brian Lobb of Osoyoos were the recipients from the South Okanagan. From the Similkameen, Charles Finch was awarded posthumously, his award received by surviving wife Hilgred. Finch, who passed away last year, flew bomber missions during World War II, returning to the Similkameen to perform a lifetime of service to his community in numerous ways. Beryl Wallace of Hedley was another recipient from the Similkameen. She was recognized for her community work in Hedley, making improvements to the OAPO hall, hosting many community dinners and acting as president of the Hedley seniors organization. Solana Allison of Princeton was the third Similkameen recipient. Atamanenko spoke of her environmental activism and her work to keep Princeton Hospital viable as part of her efforts to make the community a better place. The awards ceremony was well attended by Similkameen politicians Area “G” Director Angelique Wood and Area “H” Director Brad Hope.

Penticton doctors’ message heard loud and clear Black Press Guest Editorial
Last week’s rally by Penticton doctors calling for an expansion to Penticton Regional Hospital has certainly got the message out. An estimated 800 people crowded the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre last Wednesday night to hear the Penticton Medical Society’s case to jumpstart the proposed $300-million hospital expansion. That message reverberated across the province, garnering provincial and even national headlines and gaining the attention of B.C.’s premier. Christy Clark stopped by the Penticton hospital on Friday during a swing through the Okanagan. The premier promised to “kick down” the barriers that have stalled plans for a four-storey ambulatory care tower. Well, the major barrier is a lack of funding from the provincial government, and Clark seems to be in no hurry to break out the chequebook. In fairness, the premier said a business case that includes detailed financial information — something that will take six to eight months to complete — is needed before the project can be incorporated into the budget and put out to tender. But after seeing the expansion project that was rated as the top priority in the Interior Health region repeatedly shoved aside for more politically expedient projects elsewhere, South Okanagan residents are in no mood for fairness — they want results, now. Penticton and the surrounding region has paid a toll for outdated and overcrowded conditions at PRH. A sympathetic ear in Victoria is no longer enough. Without a firm funding commitment from the province, the B.C. Liberals can expect to pay a political price in this May’s election. And with the political fortunes of this government already hanging by a thread, the expansion of Penticton Regional Hospital could be one of their keys to political survival.

Thank you to Vera’s angels Dear Editor; On Jan. 7, 2013, my mother Vera was out on her daily walk around town visiting all her usual shopping spots and talking to the friendly people she has gotten to know since living here. On the way home, she fell on a snow packed sidewalk and broke her hip. She had to have two pins put in. That is when she met her very own angels, Nicola saw her laying in the snow as she was driving by, and stopped to help her. Ashlee

BUDGET - from page 1 Rick Jeffery, president of the Coastal Forest Products Association, said the return of the provincial sales tax amounts to a $140 million tax increase to his members. The forest industry understands the financial pressure and the revolt against the HST, but now needs regulatory reform and skills training from the government to keep it competitive, he said. The Canadian Restaurant and Food Services Association applauded the end to the HST, projecting a year of growth for B.C.’s 12,000 restaurants once the sales tax on prepared foods drops by seven per cent on April 1.
Finance officials say 16 Crown properties to be marketed this year are expected to produce a net return of $260 million. They include a former hospital site on 152 Street and two vacant lots on 192 Street in Surrey, a vacant lot near Victoria General Hospital, and the former location of North Saanich Middle School. The government expects to finish the current fiscal year with a deficit of $1.2 billion, the fourth straight deficit since the global economic meltdown that unfolded before the 2009 election.

Junior Rebels show plenty of heart Wendy Bentley classifieds@similkameenspotlight.com
This years Grade Eight Girls Rebels basketball team competed hard to represent Princeton Secondary Juniors at the Championship in Penticton. Despite losing all three games this past weekend, the girls showed a lot of heart and determination. Game one was played against the top team in their division, the KVR Express. Game two was played against the Holy Cross Hurricanes from Penticton. Despite their loss, the girls played an impressive game. Game three saw the girls up against the Osoyoos Rattlers. From the opening whistle the girls
came out fighting, right through to the final seconds. Coaches Adrea McClean and Frankie Reichert are very proud of the effort the girls put into all of their games. Cody Lindley was named player of the game for game one. Amika Caruso was named player of the game for game two, while Katelyn Bartlett was named player of the game for game three. Taneesha Beaupre was named All Star Player of the season. The Grade Eight Rebels had a wonderful season, both away and at home, competing in different tournaments. Congratulations girls on a job well done.

The girls showed plenty of heart and a lot of determination during the tournament in Penticton this past weekend.
This years Grade Eight Boys Rebel basketball team competed hard all season for the right to represent their school at the Championships in Oliver last weekend. And they did more than just represent with their tenacious effort on the court. They earned some serious respect from referees, coaches and organizers from all over the valley. Despite a one win, two loss record in the tournament the boys impressed everybody from the opening minute of game one, right through the final whistle of their third and final game, a lot of the reason being their effort and attitude. Game one was against Keremeos, the number one seed in the tournament. What a great time for Corey Thompson to have the offensive game of his young career. 16 points and a ton of offensive rebounds. After three quarters the Rebels were winning by four and the gymnasium was buzzing with the sounds of an upset. But the league champs came through in the end, as the Rebels ended the game on the wrong side of a 42-36 score. Thompson was named game Most Valuable Player (MVP). Of note Eric Ogrinc was a force on defense and Chase Rempel played solid at both ends of the court. Early Sunday morning the Rebels matched up with KVR, the fourth seed in the tournament. Again the boys took an early lead, and looked good right up to half time. But foul trouble cost them dearly and by the end of the game KVR had pulled away, winning 42-34. Mike White had 16 points in the game, including 4 3-pointers and was awarded the Game MVP. Eric Holland was great on the boards, chipping in with a great basket and Kyle Baird was very strong at both ends of the court. The final opponent was Holy Cross, and the team vowed to end the season on a winning note, a few actually guaranteeing a win to family and friends! And from the opening whistle there was no denying the Rebels would again hold a halftime lead. All the boys played great, and whenever things looked to stall or Holy Cross seemed to be mounting an attack, a different Rebel got

in the action and kept the heat up. Zane Gibson had a great game, scoring a pretty three point play in the second quarter, and Klayton Kent was strong throughout the game, getting a steal and a couple rebounds when it really counted. But nobody outshone Theo Goesen, who led the team all weekend in rebounding, and in this game also shone on the scoreboard! Theo was named MVP for the final game of the year. In the end the Rebels placed sixth overall. A great achievement for the young group. Blair Hadrell, the league commissioner presented Mike White with a Season All Star Award and commended the entire team for their growth and effort. The Rebels had a great season, a lot of fun travelling and competing in four different tournaments, and would like to thank their parents for their support. They would also like to thank their drivers, and everyone that helped and supported them this season.

Make some noise against bullying!
Bullying creates a sadness... that breaks the spirit—completely.

Children who are bullied often become victims of abuse and harassment later in life.
END this cycle NOW.
It started in September 2007, when two teens at a Nova Scotia high school stood up for a younger student. David Shepherd and Travis Price, both in Grade 12, heard about a Grade 9 student at their school who had been bullied and threatened for wearing a pink polo shirt on his first day of school. They decided they should do something about it and bought 50 pink shirts and tank tops to wear to school the next day. They also went online to round up support for their anti-bullying cause, which they dubbed a “sea of pink.” It worked. The next day, dozens of students were outfitted with the discount shirts, but even better, hundreds of students showed up wearing their own pink clothes, some from head to toe. The bullies were reportedly never heard from again. This year, Feb. 27 is Pink Shirt Day in B.C. and other parts of Canada, an annual antibullying event that started after the now-famous 2007 “sea of pink” campaign. The need for awareness and action against bullying remains as strong as ever say those involved in the pink event, including local radio station CKNW, Black Press, the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver, and London Drugs, where people can buy the official pink shirts for 2013. “Awareness of what bullying is and understanding that it hurts is important,” says Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Vancouver president and CEO Carolyn Tuckwell. “It isn’t just a rite of passage. It doesn’t have to happen. And it’s relevant to everyone, whether in school, after school or in the workplace.” According to www.bullyingcanada.ca, as

many as 25 per cent of children in Grades 4 to 6 have been bullied and approximately one in 10 children have bullied others, while a 2004 study published in the Medical Journal of Pediatrics found that about one in seven Canadian children aged 11 to 16 are victims of bullying. It is important to recognize what bullying is, and that it happens in many forms – verbally, socially, physically and online (cyber bullying), says Tuckwell. “By wearing pink, people show they’re making that commitment, to not let bullying happen,” she says. Tuckwell and others emphasize that the pink shirt is secondary to raising awareness about bullying and getting people involved. B.C. is no stranger to tragedy related to bullying. From Surrey’s 14-year-old Hamed Nastoh, who jumped off the Patullo Bridge and killed himself after leaving a note behind blaming the constant bullying he endured at school, to Mission’s Dawn-Marie Wesley, 14, who committed suicide by hanging herself after relentless bullying, to Port Coquitlam’s Amanda Todd, 15, who killed herself after posting a video on YouTube talking about her experiences with cyber bullying, there are countless told and untold stories that remain horrific. The provincial government has taken steps to address bullying in recent years, including a Ministry of Education resource brochure for parents in 14 languages that can be found online at www.bced.gov.bc.ca/sco. Net proceeds benefit the CKNW Orphans Fund in support of the Boys & Girls Clubs of South Coast BC.

Effects of bullying can last a lifetime for victims Being bullied as a child can result in long-lasting psychological scars for both boys and girls, according to a U.S. study. Reviewing more than two decades of data, the researchers found that bullied children, regardless of their sex, face an elevated risk of developing anxiety disorders, depression and suicidal thoughts in later years. “We were surprised at how profoundly bullying affects a person’s long-term functioning,” the lead researcher, William Copeland, a clinical psychologist and epidemiologist at Duke University in Durham, N.C., said in a statement. “This psychological damage doesn’t just go away because a person grew up and is no longer bullied. This is something that stays with them. If we can address this now, we can prevent a whole host of problems down the road.” An earlier study, carried out in Finland, came to slightly different conclusions. Bullied boys seem to suffer few longterm problems, but the girls showed evidence of lasting psychological harm. The Finnish study relied on health-system data, but did not have access to individual case histories. The U.S. researchers said their new study, published Wednesday in the journal JAMA Psychiatry, is “most definitive to date in establishing the long-term psychological effects of bullying.” They said they used “a much richer data set” than the Finnish researchers. In particular, the analysis is based on a sample of 1,420 children from North Carolina. At the time of recruitment into the study, the kids were either 9, 11 or 13 years of age. The children and their parents, or caregivers, were interviewed each year until the youngsters turned 16, and then periodically thereafter. At each assessment, they were asked if the kids had been bullied in the preceding months, or had bullied others.

Possible warning signs that a child is being bullied include:
The Boys and Girls Clubs offer programs that foster self-esteem, social engagement, academic success, inclusion, acceptance, respect for self and others, and connection to community. The CKNW Orphans Fund is committed to enhancing the lives of children with physical, mental and social challenges living in BC communities. The fund includes children who are bullied under the scope of the fund’s work, because these children will need extra support for their development.
n Comes home with torn, damaged, or missing pieces of clothing, books, or other belongings n Has unexplained cuts, bruises, and scratches n Has few, if any friends, with whom he or she spends time n Seems afraid of going to school, walking to and from school, riding the school bus, or taking part in organized activities with peers (such as clubs) n Takes a long, “illogical” route when walking to or from school n Has lost interest in school work or suddenly begins to do poorly in school n Appears sad, moody, teary, or depressed when he or she comes home n Complains frequently of headaches, stomachaches, or other physical ailments n Has trouble sleeping or has frequent bad dreams n Experiences a loss of appetite n Appears anxious and suffers from low self-esteem

Bullying creates all kinds of pain...
STOP it NOW.
Possible warning signs that a child may be a bully include: n Positive views towards violence n Often aggressive towards adults – including teachers or parents n Marked need to control and dominate others and situations n Boy bullies tend to be physically stronger than their peers n Hot-tempered, impulsive, easily frustrated n Often test limits or break rules n Good at talking their way out of difficult situations n Show little sympathy toward others who are bullied
A total of 421 participants reported being bullied at least once. And 198 youngsters admitted bullying others: 112 were bullies only, while 86 were both bullies and victims. Of the original 1,420 children, about 1,270 were followed into adulthood. “Those who said they had been bullied, plus those who were both victims and aggressors, were at higher risk for psychiatric disorders compared with those with no history of being bullied. The young people who were only victims had higher levels of depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, generalized anxiety, panic disorder and agoraphobia,” according to the study. What’s more, the study found that those who had been bullies were at increased risk of antisocial personality disorders.

Royal Canadian Legion News - George Pearkes Branch #56 - Princeton, B.C. FRoM thE PRESiDENt Well another month has passed into the New Year and everything is going well at the Legion. We had a very successful New Years Eve Party. 140 people showed up and danced the night away with thanks to the good music from Ian Elko as well as a lot of good food to keep our guests happy. The month of February produced a Valentines Day dance again with good music and food. We had about 60 people show up and from what I was told, a good time was had by all. We are now looking forward to our next event which would be a St. Patrick’s Day dance under the same format. The date will be posted in The Spotlight Bugler and also on Facebook for all you people who do not get the newspaper, but are on Facebook. All the citizens of Princeton are very welcome to join us on these occasions as we do have a lot of fun. For those people who do not belong to the Legion, you might consider joining our organization not only for the social activities, but also you can see and be a part of what the Legion accomplishes in our community. ~ Jim Turner

Mediterranean Fish Stew Serves 4 12 mussels 1 large fennel bulb, with leafy tops 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 garlic cloves, crushed 3/4 cup dry white wine 11/4 cups fish stock 29 ounces canned chopped tomatoes 1 cup cherry tomatoes, cut in half 1 pound monkfish fillet, cut into 11/2-inch chunks 12 large, unpeeled, raw shrimp, heads removed 1 pinch of sugar Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper Extra virgin olive oil, to serve
in several changes of cold water to remove grit. Pull off the beards or seaweed-like threads, and discard any mussels that are cracked or that don’t close when tapped against the countertop -- these are dead and not edible. Remove the leafy tops from the fennel bulb, chop them coarsely and set aside. Cut the bulb into quarters,
Scrub the mussels clean and rinse them
CAPRICORN: Capricorn, while you are glad to lend a helping hand when you are asked, the request that comes in this week could be so big that you may actually be caught off-guard. AQUARIUS: It is hard to make progress this week, especially since it could feel like you’re going at a snail’s pace. Stick with it and everything on your list is likely to get done. PISCES: Pisces, although you can certainly use your share of the limelight, let another person shine this week and you’ll have your own glow. ARIES: Aries, direct your efforts toward helping other people. You may find you are more energized when helping others, and your efforts will be much appreciated. TAURUS: Surround yourself with friends and family this week, Taurus. You should have some downtime, and you can use this time to catch up and reconnect with your loved ones. GEMINI: Gemini, some levels of communication may be compromised this week, so your messages may not reach the intended recipient. It could take a little longer to get your point across. CANCER: Cancer, your boundless energy keeps people happy and engaged and should be used as much as possible in the next few days. You also could be sought after to fix problems. LEO: Leo, tap into your creative side to shake things up and stave off some boredom. Others may think your actions are suspect, but you know these efforts will help you achieve your ultimate goal. VIRGO: You have to accept that things change and you cannot preserve the present, Virgo. That said, start making plans for new things for this year starting with right now. LIBRA: Libra, although you are able to think quickly, you much prefer to have things organized. If you have a presentation to make next week, start working on it now. SCORPIO: Scorpio, there has never been a better time to put romance in the forefront. If you’re single, put all your cards on the table. If you’re matched up, increase your amorous gestures. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, some people you know may be caught up wondering about past decisions that might not have worked out. Help them to focus on the here and now. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY
remove and discard the core, then finely chop the bulb. Heat the oil in a large saucepan or wok. Add the fennel bulb and saute for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for a further 1 minute. Add the wine, stock, canned tomatoes, and sugar, and stir well. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, then simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes and

cook for a further 5 minutes. Add plenty of salt and pepper. Add the monkfish and return to simmering. Stir in the mussels and shrimp, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mussels have opened and the fish is cooked. Ladle the stew into deep plates or bowls. Sprinkle with the fennel tops and olive oil, and serve. PC112366

In Memoriam
In Memoriam
“SEE YA LATER, PAPA” How do we say goodbye to “Papa” Luke Girouard... We don’t... We say, “see ya later Papa,” because goodbye wasn’t in Papa’s vocabulary. Papa was family pure and simple, by choice. If you were lucky enough to be chosen, you were his for life and loved fiercely in his own special way. He would give you a hug and a kick in the butt at the same time if he thought you needed it. Papa had a heart for service and our community has lost one of its best “helping hands”. Papa was my rock— loved me no matter what, prodded me to “just try it kitten”, taught me I was worthy and beautiful just the way I am and to tell whomever thought different to “go to hell in a hand basket.” His unbridled zest for life was uniquely his own and he lived with the same curiosity, excitement and stubbornness as that of a growing child. In fact he always said that he, “might get older but he would never grow up, cause if he did life would be boring and no fun at all.” He was so right. So, we should all learn from him and keep the kid in us alive and well so we never stop learning, playing and living strong. His teachings were tools for life, from how to change the oil in the car to how not to get lost in the bush, from being willing to give to all those with less to giving back to the community that raised ya, to forgive the hurts of the past because it only hurts you if you don’t. So me and mine, all three generations say, “See ya later Papa,” thanks for a lifetime of love, laughs, support and for simply choosing us to be a part of your super sized family. Love you always Papa, Lynn and her bunch.
SINCLAIR, John William February 13, 1915 ~ February 19, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather. John leaves to mourn his loving wife Eleanor of 66 years, daughters; Barbara Ryan (James Dyck) of Princeton, Noreen Ford (Mervin) of Humbolt, Saskatchewan, son Earl Sinclair (Sandi) of Kamloops, five grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren as well as and many nieces, nephews and many friends. John was born in Belvoir, Saskatchewan February 13, 1915, to George and Emily Sinclair. John is predeceased by his three brothers; Don, Earl & Frank and by younger sister Jean. John was raised on a small farm in Saskatchewan and went to school until grade nine, when his mother passed away. John, needing to help his dad raise the family, left school and worked road construction in Saskatchewan. Over the years he worked as a trapper, farmer, miner, logger, owned his own dairy farm and worked 20 years for the BC Forest Service as an Assistant Forest Ranger. John married Eleanor Jones in 1946 where they worked on their dairy farm and had their three children. John and Eleanor came to Princeton in 1960, where he worked with the Forest Service until his retirement. John enjoyed farming, fishing, hunting, playing cards, playing pool, woodworking, long walks and most of all, being around his family and grandchildren. John was an active member in the community, working as a senior counsellor, fundraising for the Seniors’ Hall and helping others in need. John will be sadly missed by his family and his friends. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Princeton Senior Drop In Society, Box 1776, Princeton, BC V0X 1W0 in the name of John Sinclair would be appreciated. A Celebration of Life will be held on March 1, 2013, at the Seniors’ Centre in Princeton, 162 Angela Avenue starting at 1:00 p.m. ~Officiated by Eric Goodfellow~
