Local teen achieves top award Ally Myers, a student of Princeton Secondary has achieved the gold level of the Duke of Edinburgh Award Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com
Local student of Princeton Secondary School, Ally Myers has achieved the highest level in The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award program. On May 25 Myers received her Silver level award from the Lieutenant Governor of B.C., The Honourable Judith Guichon, at Government House in Victoria. Myers achieved her Gold in April of this year and will receive her award in a future ceremony. She gave the closing speech for the ceremony, encouraging award recipients to carry through to the Gold Award and extending thanks to the parents, teachers, assessors and the Lieutenant Governor for their support of the program. “It was a bit nerve wracking at first,” said Myers, “but once I got started with my speech I was okay.” The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award is an individual challenge for young Canadians between the ages of 14 to 25 to encourage personal discovery, growth, self-reliance, perseverance, and responsibility. The award was founded by His Royal Highness, Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh. During a visit to the University of Victoria while in grade nine, Myers was told about the The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and decided to take up the personal challenge.

For a high school student a break from class is a welcome event, but when it’s a break from class to hang out with some cool people with some very cool cars, it’s even better! On Thursday, May 30, students at Princeton Secondary had just that opportunity. Robbie Dickson, founder of the Canadian Bull Run Rally, Coordinator Andrew and rally photographer Menoo arrived at the school in a Lamborghini and an Audi R8 to show the cars and introduce students to the rally.

PSS/Student of the month
Briefs On Sunday, May 26, 2013, Princeton RCMP conducted a search of a unit at a resort in East Princeton. Inside police located and seized a large quantity of cocaine, crack cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana and a small amount of prescription pills. A large amount of cash was also located and seized as well as several items believed to be stolen property. 28 year old Dwayne Costa of Maple Ridge has been charged with multiple counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. Costa has since been released on court imposed conditions. Police are seeking two other individuals in connection with this seizure. This seizure of drugs represents an approximate street value of over $10,000 and removes a significant amount of dangerous substance from our streets. In partnership for a safer community, Princeton RCMP encourage anyone with information relating to drug activity to call the Princeton RCMP at 250-295-6911 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)

Ally Myers is the student of the month for May. Ally, a grade 12 student, has been nominated by Miss Blair. Ally has done service at the school, local and provincial levels. This past weekend she was recognized by the Duke of Edinburgh program sponsored by the Lieutenant Governor for volunteerism. Ally is graduating and deserves to be recognized for making our school, our community — and soon the world — a better place.
HIGHEST AWARD - from page 1 Since then Myers has made great strides and completed all three levels of the award program. She has travelled to India and China volunteering her time with children. She has volunteered with Olive Ridley Turtle Conservation, delivered clothing to the poor in Mexico and raised over $10,000 for the Good Shephard Agricultural Mission located in India. Myers has enjoyed challenges like sailing a Tall Ship through Desolation Sound and rafting in the Rockies. On a local level, Myers volunteers with Princeton Ground Search and Rescue (PGSAR) and most recently volunteered over 150 hours to teach disabled skiers at Sun Peaks Resort. “She has brought youthful enthusiasm to the team,” said Secretary/ Treasurer of PGSAR, Randy Rorvick. “Ally showed interest and learns well, she is almost ready to graduate from member in training to becoming certified. We enjoy working with her,” he added. On top of her volunteer work Myers is an honour roll student who is actively involved in school sports, band and outdoor activities like sailing, skiing and snowboarding. On June 22 Myers will join her peers in celebrating graduation with ceremonies and prom. Two days later, she will be on her way to South Africa for six weeks to teach youth in Cape Town how to swim and surf. “It feels good to be able to help children,” said Myers, “I have lots of fun and I get to meet lots of new people.” Near the end of August, Myers will be off to Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick. She plans to study geophysics and achieve a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry or Physics—most likely both. Through her travels Myers feels that she has gained insight into how frail the planet and ecosystem are and how important conservation is. Myers believes that Antarctica holds the answers to the lingering questions on global warming. She plans to someday visit Antarctica as it is “the quintessential playground for the scientific mind.”
Copper Mountain Mine back in operation earlier than expected
Vancouver, British Columbia – May 22, 2013 – Copper Mountain Mining Corporation (TSX: CUM) (the “Company” or “Copper Mountain”) announces that further to the Company’s news release of May 17, 2013, the damaged SAG mill transformer was replaced late Friday and the mill was back in operation by 6 pm Friday May 17, 2013. Site maintenance personnel were able to successfully replace the damaged transformer with identical transformers from Ball Mill #1. Operations over the long weekend with the SAG mill and one ball mill was better than forecast and operated at an average rate of 1,100 tpoh or an average of 25,400tpd. The exact cause of the failure is being evaluated by the supplier and an independent third party consultant. Preliminary testing has indicated that damage is limited to one set of coils in the transformer, which could help with shortening the timing of repairs. The damaged transformer was trucked to ABB’s transformer repair facility in Edmonton, Alberta. ABB has sent a technical
specialist from its plant in Italy to oversee the dismantling of the damaged transformer, which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday May 21, 2013. ABB’s transformer facility in Italy have ordered the raw materials necessary to manufacture a replacement set of coils which will be flown to their facility in Edmonton for installation in the damaged transformer. The repair of the one set of coils is forecast to take 2.5 weeks. The Company has instructed ABB to manufacture a full set of coils for the transformer for an estimated cost of $125,000 to ensure additional coils are on site and available at all times. Jim O’Rourke, President & CEO of Copper Mountain commented, “We are extremely pleased with our mine site teams’ ability to work quickly and effectively to get the SAG mill operational one full day ahead of our original estimate and at an increased throughput rate. This operation with one ball mill demonstrates the extra ball mill capacity available once we are able to get full tonnage through the SAG mill. ”

Yes you can garden in Princeton Lisa Carleton/Spotlight
Members of the Princeton Garden Club, Laila Bird and Ben Mazzarella manned the table at the Princeton plaza Market on Saturday, May 25. The club introduced their brand new book, “Yes! You Can Garden in Princeton,” and sold plants grown from their own gardens. The book is a compilation of techniques from Princeton’s premiere gardeners on gardening successfully in the local climate. If you missed the opportunity to make your purchase at the market, not to worry. Club members will be on hand at the Agricultural Fair in August and the book is available at the following locations; An Ounce Of Prevention, Belaire, Billy’s, Everything Pets, Princeton Farm and Garden Centre, Realty Executives, Sunflower Gallery, The Image Emporium, Thomasina’s, the Tourist Information Centre and at the Winking Pedlar. With proceeds from the sale the Garden Club will be providing a bursary(s) to graduate(s) of Princeton Secondary School.
Turn your yard into an outdoor haven (NC)—Canadians look forward to the summer when they can emerge from their homes and enjoy time in their yards. Here are some simple ways to transform your own yard into an outdoor oasis: First, determine how you most like to use your yard. Do you prefer relaxing outside with a book, playing with the kids, gardening, or entertaining? The answers to these questions will determine how to design your space. “I’m frequently asked how to make the best use of an outdoor space,” says Mark Cullen, Home Hardware’s Gardening Expert. “As I tell people, just a few small changes can really transform the overall look and feel of your space.” To create an “outdoor room” and an area that offers shade from the sun, pergolas are a great choice, and a growing trend. They allow you to create a shaded walkway or sitting area where you can enjoy your garden without worry of the sun. To outline your “outdoor room”, lay out your furniture and define the “walls” with end tables, planters and other decorative elements. A fountain or a pond act as a focal point and also add an element of relaxation and nature to the space. To minimize watering, invest in a self-watering system to ensure your plants remain hydrated even when you’re away from home for a few days at a time.
If you enjoy spending time with friends and family, a spacious deck will provide the perfect area for entertaining. There are many options available. Wood offers a natural look and is generally the most cost-efficient option. If you are eco-minded, composite decking is made from up to 95 per cent recycled material and requires little maintenance. Patio stones can be a more natural looking option which can also give more height to your privacy fence as the stones are flush with the grass line. When it comes to privacy, there are many fence options including various woods, materials and designs, while iron decorative inserts, toppers or caps are also a great way to add appeal. If you have a small yard, a privacy fence with built-in benches and planters is a great space-saving solution. For natural privacy, consider a trellis, which is also a great sound barrier. Last but not least, your oasis will not be complete without plants. To maximize plant growth it is worthwhile to invest in a high-quality soil mix that is specially formulated for the purpose. It’s worth noting that not all growing areas are alike. Containers require different soil than a garden or flower bed, so to ensure you have your plants at their greenest, make sure you are using the right products.
As my staff and I close down the MLA’s Offices in Merritt and Ashcroft I ask any constituent who has an ACTIVE CASE FILE with my office to please contact my staff or me immediately (contact information below) if you would like your information returned to you, or carefully destroyed, or sent to secure storage in Victoria. All other completed case files will be carefully destroyed.”

Trail users need to self police Black Press Guest Editorial
With the surfacing project on the Kettle Valley Railway trail between Okanagan Falls and Kaleden now complete, we expect it won’t be too long before the debate over motorized usership begins anew in that part of the regional district. The new surface consists of packed granular asphalt and in its pristine state, it presents a great walking, biking or running surface - smooth, relatively solid, yet forgiving underfoot. However, the surface - completed only a week or so ago - is already showing signs of strain from users in the form of motorcycles and horses. In a couple of places along the trail, one can see evidence of motorized use in the form of loose stones, dislodged by the acceleration of a single wheeled vehicle. In another place, one can see indentations along the edge of the trail surface where horse hooves have made indentations in the surface. The user debate has been ongoing in places like Naramata and Summerland for some time, generally coming to a head when motorized and less mobile users like joggers and walkers fail to come to compatible terms with each other. No one wants to deny legitimate use to any user group - after all, we all pay taxes. But how to reconcile the various users and their wear and tear on the trail surface with limited tax dollars available for repairs and maintenance? It may be that the various user groups will need to police themselves or run the risk of losing the privilege of using public trails. Under normal use, motorized vehicles should cause a minimal amount of damage on flat, well prepared trail surfaces on the valley floor. However, wheelies, jack rabbit starts, hard braking and other high performance “tricks” have no place on public trails, and it should be up to the various user groups to police their own - or lose the privilege.

Community Services now managing Silvercrest Housing
Retirement/Long Service Celebration
Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com
For years, the Silvercrest Housing complex has been run by a small group of volunteers here in Princeton. The volunteer board has been growing smaller by the year and decided to put in a request for assistance. As of May 1 of this year, Silvercrest has been taken on by BC Housing and is managed by Princeton and District Community Services. “It is good that BC Housing has taken on this role,” said executive director of Community Services, Lynn Pelly, “23 units of housing is considerable.” Silvercrest Housing is a two building complex consisting of 15 bachelor and eight - 1 bedroom units, providing housing for low income seniors and persons with disabilities. The complex is located along the Tulameen River, close to the Trans Canada Trail and the downtown core. Princeton and District Community Services located at 47 Harold Avenue (blue building beside the water park) is accepting applications for Silvercrest. There are currently vacancies to fill. Rent will be based on 30 per cent of income for all new tenants. Call 250-295-6666 for more information. Community Services is pleased to have this new opportunity to support affordable housing in Princeton and looks forward to working with residents, BC Housing and the community in providing safe, attractive, low cost housing for our senior population.
School District No. 58 (Nicola-Similkameen) will be hosting a Retirement/Long Service tea honouring retiring employees for this year, as well as recognizing employees having 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 35 years service with the District. The socials will be held on: Princeton: Monday, June 10, 2013 in the Princeton Secondary School Library 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Merritt: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 in the Multi-Purpose Room Merritt Secondary School 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Help outrun cancer in your community, Deer Survey questions organize the Terry Fox Run in Princeton explained June 13 Princeton, BC — “My quest would not be a selfish one. I could not leave knowing these faces and feelings would still exist, even though I would be set free from mine.” The people who look for the possibilities in an impossible task often make the difference, and Terry Fox was one of those people. It was Terry’s determination towards his ultimate goal – to outrun cancer – that exemplifies the importance of leading by example. Terry ran 5,373 kilometers and 143 days with the goal of seeking a cure for those affected by cancer and giving those around him something to hold onto – hope. This year marks the 33rd annual Terry Fox Run and the community of Princeton needs a volunteer Run Organizer to help keep Terry’s message alive. By becoming a Run Organizer, you become an integral part of carrying Terry’s torch and helping Princeton contribute towards finding a cure for cancer. Last year, the Terry Fox Foundation raised over $26 million for cancer research, and with your help we aim to build off of that. The Foundation will help anyone who is interested in volunteering to be an Organizer
through the planning process. It is incredibly important that someone steps forward immediately for this meaningful cause, as the Run is fast approaching and is taking place on Sunday September 15th. “It would be such a shame for the people of Princeton to miss out on an opportunity to keep Terry’s legacy alive as every community no matter how big or small can make a huge impact, just as Terry learned when a small town of 10,000 people raised over $10,000”, says Donna White, Provincial Director for the Terry Fox Foundation BC & Yukon. Every contribution matters, and like Terry, we will continue to work together to outrun cancer. If you are interested in becoming the Princeton volunteer Run Organizer, please contact Donna White, Provincial Director at the Terry Fox Foundation by email at bcyukon@terryfoxrun.org or by phone at 1-888-836-9786. Remember, the Runs are non-competitive and all inclusive; the registration fee is by donation and there is no minimum pledge amount.

Randolph Westphal ~ To share is to inspire Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com
Inspiration comes in many forms. One such form is the story of a man who travels the world to prove that odds can be beaten and that people should never give up. In 1987 Randolph Westphal, was diagnosed with malignant melanoma(skin cancer). He ended up having to have lymph nodes removed and doctors told him he most likely would only live for another six months to a year. Westphal didn’t believe what the doctors had to say. “No doctor can heal you…doctors can treat you and do operations but the healing comes from you, it starts in your mind,” he said. “I am a very good example, I like to live.” In 1989 Westphal began his travels to prove to himself and to others that, “he wasn’t dead.” For the next almost 25 years, he has shared his story with numerous people in cities and towns throughout the globe. During those 25 years Westphal has undergone 28 cancer surgeries, four of them life threatening. While riding in Argentina he met with the most dangerous creature he ever met—a human. Westphal and his companion Shir Khan, a wolf malamute were hit by a truck. The truck actually rolled over the two travellers. “The guy picked me up and threw me in the ditch and covered me up,” said Westphal. Sadly, Shir Khan died at the scene and Westphal was found by a passerby four hours later. He suffered from loss of speech, taste, smell and his memory. 40 surgeries to keep his leg and a total of five years to recover. Keeping notes and revisiting places he travelled to have helped him recover the memories lost. He has also undergone both hip and knee replacement surgeries. During a check up in Quebec in 1990 Westphal’s doctor asked if he would like to talk to patients, to share his experience. He agreed and to do so and his first speaking engagement was arranged. “Many media, television, patients… I am close to heart attack but I start talking,” said Westphal…”I talked to cancer patients, they cried and I thought I had said something incorrect in my bad English.” Westphal giggles as he explained that the first English he experienced was, “Ladies and gentlemen fasten your seatbelts and stop smoking.” Westphal has since and continues to speak at schools, universities and what ever groups ask him to share his story. Another of his many achievements was marked in August of 1997 when he received his certificate from Guinness World Records saluting his record of man and dog (Shir Khan) biking-travelling 73,000 km. On May 4 of this year, 55 year old Randolph Westphal and his family flew into Vancouver from Frankurt Germany to begin his sixth world tour.

Randolph Westphal travels the globe sharing his story and inspiring others to heal from within themselves. Chinook (left) and Nanook are the family who travel with him.
Westphal’s family consists of his dogs, Chinook, who is the great grandson of Shir Khan, and Nanook. They are his pets, companions and his protectors. “We have had experience with wolf and bear,” said Westphal, “they take care of me.” They travel in all weather, in all temperatures. -51 is the coldest temperature they have endured. Travelling from Hope to Princeton included the, “longest hills I’ve had to climb in 25 years,” said Westphal during a stop at the Sandman Inn in Princeton on May 14. It was pouring rain during that part of his trip. Westphal had stopped in at Manning Park to rest and even though the park was closed at the time, the manager gave Westphal both food and lodging for a night. Westphal does his best to keep a budget of under $20 a day to feed him and his family. Support of lodging and donations are most gratefully accepted to aid him in his journey and spreading his message of hope. To explain why he keeps going, Westphal said simply, “The greatest gift God give us is the gift of life - the greatest loss is to return it unopened.” After a stay at the Evergreen Motel, Westphal continued his journey on through Keremeos. Significant problems with his knee altered his course and he headed towards Kelowna instead of the original plan for Osoyoos. He is currently travelling throughout the Okanagan towards his destination of Alaska.

Cellphone code caps roaming fees, offers early exit Jeff Nagel Black Press
Consumer advocates are applauding a new wireless code of conduct that lets Canadians cancel mobile phone contracts without penalty after two years and sets caps on data roaming charges. The new code, unveiled Monday by federal regulators, applies on new contracts for mobile phones and other devices starting Dec. 2. Besides the ability to escape three-year contracts without fees after two years, the new CRTC rules cap data overage fees at $50 a month and national and international data roaming fees at $100 a month, unless the user explicitly wants to use more. “Canadians may finally now be freed of the worst of cellphone bill shock,” Public Interest Advocacy Centre executive director John Lawford said. “We hope that consumers will now be able to enjoy their wireless service fully and without fear.” He said the code should reduce the mobile device costs of many users. “It also makes it easier to switch companies because those costs are limited and are clear,” Lawford said.
Individuals and small business users will also be able to have their phones unlocked after 90 days or immediately if they paid the full price. A 15-day return option is also promised to those who are unhappy with service, along with an easyto-read contract and an ability to accept or decline key changes to a contract. “The wireless code will contribute to a more dynamic marketplace by making it possible for Canadians to discuss their needs with service providers at least every two years,” CRTC chair JeanPierre Blais said. It’s not yet clear how major phone companies will react to the new rules. “We already do a lot of what is in the new code,” Telus spokesman Shawn Hall said in an emailed statement. He said Telus replaced contract cancellation charges with a device balance some years ago and already offers phone unlocking and a cap on international data roaming. “We are thus well positioned to support this new code,” Hall said, calling it “a strong and friendly set of protections.”

Similkameen Spotlight June 5, 2013
Millions of people across the globe receive a cancer diagnosis each year. While that diagnosis can initially be devastating, it’s important to note that many cancer patients survive the disease and go on to live productive lives. A healthy meal can provide the nourishment cancer survivors need as they get back in the swing of things and continue their lives going forward. And such meals need not be void of flavor, as the following recipe for “Asian Japonica Rice Salad With Edamame” from Rebecca Katz’ Asian Japonica Rice Salad With Edamame Serves 8
1/8 1/4 1 3 1/8 1/2 1 1 1/2 1
(see
teaspoon cayenne cup sesame oil teaspoon toasted sesame oil tablespoons fresh lime juice teaspoon sea salt teaspoon maple syrup cup toasted cashews (see box) tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro cup chopped fresh basil tablespoon lightly toasted sesame seeds
box) 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice In a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil over high heat. Add the rice and return to a boil. Cover, decrease the heat and simmer until tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Pour the rice onto a sheet pan and fluff with a fork to separate the grains and cool. In another medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon salt and blanch the edamame until just tender,

about 1 minute. Transfer to a colander, rinse with cold water, and set aside. In a bowl, combine the rice, celery, carrot, red pepper, and scallions. Prepare the dressing by whisking the vinegar, tamari, ginger, garlic, cayenne, sesame oil, toasted sesame oil, lime juice, salt, and maple syrup together. Toss the rice mixture with the dressing. Stir in the beans, cashews (reserve a few for garnish), cilantro, and basil. Top with the sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve in a salad bowl, garnished with cashews.
2 teaspoons sea salt 2 cups black Japonica rice, rinsed and drained 1 cup shelled edamame beans 1 cup peeled and thinly sliced celery, sliced diagonally 1 cup peeled and shredded carrots 1/2 red bell pepper, diced 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, green and white parts, sliced diagonally Dressing 2 tablespoons brown rice vinegar 3 tablespoons tamari 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger 2 cloves garlic, minced
CAPRICORN: A friend needs your support more than ever, Capricorn. Go to great lengths to give this person what they need, even if it means rearranging your schedule. AQUARIUS: An email or other correspondence from a past friend could stir up feelings you weren’t ready to deal with right now, Aquarius. Put this on the back burner until you are ready. PISCES: Pisces, you are more interested in independence this week than hanging out in large groups. This includes hanging out with your spouse or partner. ARIES: Don’t make assumptions this week, Aries. You just can’t trust your gut instincts too much right now. It’s better to get all of the facts and act accordingly. TAURUS: Playing matchmaker isn’t so easy, Taurus. You have to understand when people are compatible and when there just isn’t a spark. Let this one go. GEMINI: Gemini, you may have to pull back your focus on a problem in order to see it in a new light. Take some time away to regroup and then you can come back at full strength. CANCER: A romantic relationship can be a balancing act, Cancer. You will learn this first hand this week when you have to come to a compromise with your partner. LEO: Leo, don’t apologize if you feel like you have to go your own way this week. Even when everyone seems to be going in another direction, sometimes you just have to set your own course. VIRGO: Virgo, while others may not be able to handle the confusion this week, you are fully capable of multi-tasking and making it through unscathed. LIBRA: Libra, you may feel more emotionally charged this week but you still have to think with your head and not your heart. A financial decision may need to reassessed. SCORPIO: Scorpio, look at a situation with a practical eye. Is this really the best answer for the time being? Although you may be leaning one way, you might want to reconsider. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, you need to get work done this week and that can’t happen when you are continually distracted. You might have to nip this one in the bud -- quickly. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY

Twenty-three “Friends of Osprey Lake” conducted their annual roadside cleanup over the May 25 weekend. They gathered approximately 800 pounds of trash.
Friends of Osprey Lake strike again Terry Tellier Coordinator Roadside Cleanup
For the Sixth year in a row “The Friends of Osprey Lake” conducted their annual roadside cleanup. The weather was perfect for 23 participants including our youngest who is 7 years old. Volunteers covered a total of 9 sections including the Princeton-Summerland Road, Trans-Canada Trail, two forestry campsites, several public boat-launches and community side-roads. This year they extended the cleanup to include Shinish Road to Jellicoe Road. The trash included but was not limited to: beverage bottles/cans, metal, wood products, cardboard, plastic bottles/bags, tobacco related litter, glass, auto parts and other landfill
items. The load filled the box of a pickup truck and weighed approximately 800 pounds. Our workday wrapped up at Tellier’s for a pot-luck supper, relaxing campfire and tales about the most unusual items collected. Many thanks go out to all the volunteer champions who help keep our area clean, safe and pleasant for all to enjoy. Special appreciation goes to Norm Christman, Jill Pelland and Lynne Adams who transport, sort and dispose of the items for us. We are proud of our community and the Osprey Lake Association which posts cleanup information for us. Finally, we thank the town council of Princeton for waiving the landfill fees once again and helping make our event such a success.

Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists participated once again in the annual Meadowlark Festival on the Victoria Day weekend, an encompassing event which brings visitors from all over the province and beyond to the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys. An eclectic array of tours and activities relating to the natural world is presented, and Princeton’s contribution consisted of 2 field trips and a film presentation on Friday, May 17. Sue Elwell and Amanda Lahaie led a group along the KVR trail to the Vermilion Bluffs and the Hoodoos, spotting 30 species of birds along the way. Highlights were; a Lazuli Bunting, Great Horned Owl and Harlequin Duck. Trish Reid led another group of visitors around Swan Lake, where they saw Ruddy Ducks, Lesser Scaups and Cinnamon Teals, and were grateful to use the bird blinds as shelter from the inclement weather. In the evening a large group, mostly from out of
town, visited Princeton’s museum and viewed Jeff & Sue Turner’s impressive film, The Great Salmon Run. Thanks to the museum staff and volunteers for making this evening such a success. Meanwhile, our club held its own field trip to Swan Lake on May 25, this one led by Charlotte Sellers. The weather cooperated on this day, wildflowers were abundant, and bird highlights were American Coots, Western Meadowlarks, American Coots, Tree and Barn Swallows, as well as a Turkey Vulture. Visitors to Swan Lake now enjoy a new picnic table, outhouse and an information board with new protective covering. Many thanks to Princeton Glass for helping with the latter. Our next field trip will be a birding expedition on June 8, led by Peter Antonick and Janis Wright. Phone 295-7560 to confirm attendance and meet at Billy’s at 9 am. Please join us for our last meeting of the season, when Sue Elwell will give a presentation on hummingbird banding. This will take place June 11, 7 p.m., at Riverside Centre.
