Final count underway for B.C. vote The count of 180,000 absentee ballots began on Monday Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Elections BC officials started counting 180,000 absentee ballots Monday, an unusually high number that could be enough to change the result of some closer contests from the May 14 provincial vote. Final results will be known by Wednesday. A recount is also underway in the closest of the 85 constituency elections, Saanich North and the Islands. The NDP’s Gary Holman led after initial counting with 9,676 votes, 50 more than B.C. Liberal candidate Stephen Roberts. Adam Olsen of the B.C. Green Party was a close third with 9,294 votes. Another closely watched constituency is Coquitlam-Maillardville, where B.C. Liberal Steve Kim led with 9,044 in preliminary results. The NDP’s Selena Robertson was 105 votes behind after early results in the final count, which includes absentee ballots. Premier Christy Clark has indicated she will wait until the final count is complete before deciding where to seek a seat in a by-election. The NDP’s David Eby finished 785 votes ahead of Clark in election-night returns for Vancouver-Point Grey, a result unlikely to be overturned by the addition of late ballots to the total. Elections BC officials say the 180,000 absentee ballots doubles the number received in 2009. The final count include votes cast by people outside their home constituencies. It also incorporates mail-in votes and special polling places set up at hospitals, isolated communities and logging or fishing camps.

Grads got talent 2013 Wendy Bentley/Spotlight

Harry Lali says he will be back Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com
NDP Harry Lali served as MLA for the Yale-Lillooet riding (local riding) from 1991 to 2001, then from 2005 to 2009 and again in the Fraser-Nicola riding (newly created local riding) from 2009 to 2013. Preliminary voting results from election day, May 14 of this year show BC Liberal Jackie Tegart with the win at 5,539 votes to incumbent NDP Harry Lali with 4,785 votes in the Fraser-Nicola riding. “NDP voters stayed home,” said Lali. According to past voter support tracking approximately 3200 NDP voters stayed home he said.
Princeton
Complacency and the belief of voters who thought Lali was a “shoo-in” thinking he just couldn’t lose—may just have kept voters at home. “This happened province wide as well,” said Lali. In the early polls, the NDP was the lead province-wide, but in the end voter turnout was low. According to information from BC Elections, only 1,692,502 of the registered 3,116,626 B.C. voters cast their ballots. (Preliminary results) Lali extends his congratulations to Tegart and “wishes her well.” “I will be back in four years,” he said, “the Liberals got a freebie—this time.” Final results of the 2013 Election will be known by Wednesday, May 29.

Council Briefs ~ May 21 Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com
On behalf of Council, Mayor Frank Armitage officially welcomed Kevin Huey, the new Manager of Public Works for the Town of Princeton, by saying, “welcome home.” Born and raised in Princeton, Huey began his new position last week after a 23 year hiatus from the community. Motioned by Councillor Maynard and seconded by Councillor Pateman, Council received for information a Summary of Recommended Actions contained within an Administrative Review of the Princeton Volunteer Fire Department. Fire Chief Eric Gregson and Deputy Fire Chief Rob Banks present during Council received commendations from Mayor and Council. “This report speaks very well of you,” said Mayor Armitage, “please take back to your crew—our appreciation for the top drawer efforts of your department.” With a motion made by Councillor Maynard and seconded by Councillor Pateman, Council agreed to purchase a User Group Insurance Policy from SBC Insurance Agencies Ltd., to provide ‘blanket coverage on pre-determined activities for groups who register with the Town and do not have access to liability insurance from other sources.’ The cost to the Town will be $2000. Groups will need to register with the Recreation Department
and may be charged a small fee in order to help recoup the Towns premium. Both Councillors Maynard and Pateman noted this was a good idea and would make things easier for the groups. Mayor Armitage added, “It makes good sense, we don’t want insurance issues to preclude events in our community—it is money well spent.”

The Zig Zag project which has been on hold due to issues with the architect and contractors has been a “big source of embarrassment,” said Mayor Armitage.

Grand opening celebrated Friday Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com
A vision that was almost two years in the making has become reality for Susan MacDonald. On Friday, May 24 MacDonald and her husband Mike opened the doors of Suzie’s Shoppe for the first day in business. “I wanted the women of Princeton to be able to shop locally,” said Susan MacDonald. Her vision is to provide a store where women can purchase quality clothing, in a wide selection of sizes, for all occasions at reasonable prices. It is priority for MacDonald to offer this in a relaxed and comfortable, clean environment with excellent customer service. The MacDonald’s have created Suzie’s Shoppe complete with a freshly renovated store. They are very grateful for all the help and support they have received from their local and outof-town friends during this endeavour. “We are definitely not another thrift store in Princeton,” said MacDonald, “I am purchasing new inventory daily from a wide variety of sources—the Coast, Penticton and Calgary—to
name a few.” She also wants to assure customers that all consignment clothing will be pre-washed before it is presented for sale. Suzie’s Shoppe offers women a one-stop location to purchase new and consignment clothing in a wide selection of sizes, for casual, professional and evening/formal wear needs. Accessories including jewelry, purses, scarves and footwear are available as well. “You won’t see yourself coming down the street,” said Mary-ann Slager with a chuckle while discussing the variety of clothing available at the store. MacDonald plans to build on the items available by bringing in a lingerie section and adding to the bridal, evening and formal wear selections. Suzie’s Shoppe, located at 225 Bridge Street is open six days a week, Monday to Friday from 10 a.m., to 5 p.m. and 11 a.m., to 3 p.m., on Sundays. “We hope to be embraced by the community,” said MacDonald, “come on in—we are looking forward to serving you.”

Harper fails to act on Senate scandal Black Press Guest Editorial
The pace of government action (or in this case, inaction) is something Canadians will never fully be able to grasp. In the blink of an eye, the Conservative government can strip away the retirement dreams of millions of Canadians. But when a loyal soldier of the government stands accused of bilking taxpayers with improper expenses, the prime minister claims to be powerless, while money is quietly funneled out of his office to repay the alleged wrongdoing. But, this time, Canadians may finally have had enough. The cloud of scandal continues to grow over the head of embattled Senator Mike Duffy. The former TV journalist is accused of fudging his expense account, eventually repaying the improperly claimed expenses with $90,000 he received from Nigel Wright, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s chief of staff who has since resigned. Duffy has now quit the Conservative caucus in the Senate, but he is so far rejecting calls to resign as a senator. And the prime minister seems unwilling to push him out the door. Harper said he was “not happy” and “very upset” with the conduct of some parliamentarians and his own office, before hopping on a plane for a South American trade mission without answering questions from reporters. The same prime minister who has shown the powers of a majority government are almost limitless is now unable to even mention the name of his disgraced colleague. Canada’s 105 senators all make a basic salary of $135,200. And apart from apparently filing bogus expense claims, most Canadians would be hard pressed to name a single duty that senators fulfill. Maybe Mike Duffy has done a service to his country after all. Maybe the senator’s actions will be the straw that broke the camel’s back and prompt Canadians to demand an end to the political embarrassment that is this nation’s Senate.

On Saturday June 1 and Sunday June 2, the Princeton Airport hosts the Spring Model Jet Meet. The pilots come from quite a distance to fly at this wonderful site. Pilots have come from as far East as Manitoba and South from Washington State, many stay at Princeton Hotels but others camp around the flying area. This event is being run under the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada (MAAC) sanction and insurance. During the event the Town posts a notice with Transport Canada, NOTAM, to let ‘full scale’ pilots know that the club will be flying there. On Saturday, around noon, the club will line up all of the models on the runway and let spectators get ‘up close and personal’ with the planes and pilots. They will also be holding an event this Fall.

National Champions will then be determined based on their three-round combined times/scores. Again this year, the Saturday championship performance will be televised nationally as part of the CinchTown Tour telecast series on RFD-TV. Live broadcasts of each NJHFR performance will also air online at NHSRATV.com powered by iHigh.com. Performance times are 7 p.m., on June 23 and 9 a.m., and 7 p.m., each day thereafter. Along with great rodeo competition and the chance to meet new friends from around the world, NJHFR contestants have the opportunity to enjoy shooting sports, volleyball, tug-of-war, contestant dances, family oriented activities, church services sponsored by the Fellowship of Christian Cowboys, and shopping at the NJHFR tradeshow, as well as visiting historical attractions of New Mexico and nearby Arizona. To follow Taneesha Beaupre at the NJHFR, visit NHSRA.org daily for complete results. For ticket information and reservations, call (800) 590-1302

Naturalists hike to Cinder Cone Janis Wright Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists
Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists savoured the mild weather on Saturday, May 11, as a group of seven enjoyed a leisurely hike up to the Cinder Cone. This small but steep conical hill is the most common kind of volcano, and consists of glassy, basaltic fragments, which contrasted nicely with the colourful and abundant wildflowers blooming in the grassy areas below. Clear skies and the height attained at the hilltop allowed fantastic views of China Ridge and the Three Brothers in Manning Park. Thea Adamo ably led this companionable group, and a good time was reportedly had by all! Our next meeting, the last of the season until September, will take place on Tuesday, June 11, at 7 p.m., and will feature club member Sue Elwell, who will give a presentation on hummingbird banding.
Archive photo
Volunteers carefully band tiny hummingbirds found in Princeton.
Sue and her team of banders are an enthusiastic bunch and the presentation promises to be lively. Please join us for an animated evening!

SpotlightNEWS The arena was full of excitement and fun on Friday night as the Baptist Church provided free entertainment for families fuelled with hotdogs, cotton candy and popcorn. The kids were entertained by riding the bull, having a boxing match, an obstacle course, sumo wrestling, jousting and the milk run. There was some smaller bouncy castle fun for the little kids as well. Be sure to check out our Facebook page for more photos. Wendy Bentley/Spotlight
