B.C.’s royal baby guest book opens Black Press
www.blackpress.ca
The guest book has opened at Government House, online and in Victoria, for people to send their greetings to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of their son. Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon announced Monday that a signing table is available at her official residence. Messages may also be sent online via the Governor General’s website. “As third in line, he is the future King of Canada,” Guichon said in a statement. “Let us join together in celebration across the province to mark the birth of our future King.” Those who wish to send a congratulatory message online may do so by visiting the Governor General’s website: www.gg.ca Communities and businesses set up their own greeting places, collecting infant clothing and gifts for local charities. The Lieutenant Governor’s full statement follows: “On behalf of the people of British Columbia, I offer my congratulations and best wishes to Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the birth of their son. This is a special time for the Duke and Duchess and I wish them much health and happiness as they embark on their parenting journey. “As the third in line, he is the future King of Canada. For Canadians, this historic occasion is an opportunity to reflect on our strong and enduring connection to the Crown - an institution that embodies the stable character of our democracy. It is an important symbol of unity and stability and represents the vitality of our traditions, the permanence of our institutions and the continuity of national life. “Let us join together in celebration across the province to mark the birth of our future King.”

The new owners and management of Manning Park invite you to join them for the 2013 Lights on Lightning Lake Festival on Saturday, August 3. Come build your own lantern, enjoy a barbecue and float your lantern out on the lake that evening.

The new owners of Manning Park have extended an invitation to join them in the 2013 Lights on Lightning Lake Festival. On Saturday, August 3 you are invited to build a lantern during the day and then float the lanterns out onto Lightning Lake in the evening. Construction of the lanterns will take place at the day use area at Lightning Lake from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Lantern Kits are available at a cost of $15. A barbecue will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Lighting of the lanterns will take place about 9 p.m. at the Spruce Bay Beach, just down the hill from the Lightning Lake campground.
Manning Park staff will retrieve the lanterns and return them to shore after everyone has enjoyed the display. In April of this year, owners of Sunshine Valley RV Resorts & Cabins Inc., Kevin and Donna Demers purchased Manning Park assets including: the Park Use Permit for the Resort and ski operations, as well as the remainder of the Park Facility Operator (PFO) Manning/Similkameen campground bundle contract. With the announcement, “We are open for business,” made in a press release in June, Kevin Demers stated, “We are confident and committed to rebuilding the customer service that compliments and respects the values of BC Parks.

‘Just for a minute’ can be deadly

Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com
There have been numerous stories on the TV news in regards to pets and children coming to harm due to being left inside vehicles under the hot summer sun. Locally there have not been any reported issues in regards to children, however there have been complaints regarding animals (mainly dogs) being left in vehicles down town. Just two weeks ago, Princeton RCMP issued this public reminder; “Princeton RCMP would like to remind the general public about your responsibility as a pet owner during these hot summer days. It is a criminal code offence, Sec 446 (1) (b). Failure to exercise reasonable care, by leaving your pet unattended in your vehicle with windows rolled up. Your pet cannot speak for itself and advise you when it is in distress, it counts on you to do your utmost to ensure their safety and well being.” Though the information is out there, people are still ignoring the warnings and are placing their pets in life threatening situations. Even if you have your vehicle parked in the shade, with the windows down, the temperature inside the vehicle can rise high enough to cause serious harm and even kill your pet. Within 10 minutes the temperature in a vehicle can rise at least 10 degrees higher that it is outside, and 15 to 20 degrees higher within 20 minutes. Escalation to even higher temperatures will occur if the vehicle is parked directly in the sun. Think leaving a pet in the vehicle with the air-conditioning running is safe? Don’t count on it! Air conditioners can and do break down and blow hot air inside the vehicle instead of the cool air you expect. Animals do not sweat like humans, dogs cool themselves down by panting and releasing excess heat through their paws. If they have only hot air to breathe, they can not possibly cool themselves down appropriately. Heatstroke can occur and is displayed by symptoms like; excessive panting, rapid pulse, thickened saliva, tremors, convulsions, seizures vomiting and even coma. If the dogs temperature reaches 41 degrees Celsius, cell and organ damage begin to occur. Pets are a part of the family and we do enjoy bringing them out. However, if there is a chance that your pet may have to wait for you while you run errands, do a bit of shopping or visit someone for ‘just a minute’ —think before you take them along for the ride. Heatstroke in your dog can result in brain damage and death. Be responsible and do right by your pet by leaving it at home instead of placing it at risk. If you witness a dog or any pet in distress inside a hot vehicle, please call the Bylaw Officer at 250-295-3135 or the local RCMP at 250-2956911.

SpotlightOPINION
Alcohol and boating can be deadly Ahh, boating ! Skimming over the water with the wind in your hair. What a great way to spend a summer afternoon, especially with family and friends. A carefree atmosphere like this is just made to have fun and party. However, this partying should never include drinking alcohol. Mixing alcohol and boating can have tragic consequences. When the Canadian Safe Boating Council and SmartBoater.ca speak to Canadian boaters each year, there is no gentle way to say it. Being impaired while operating a boat can cost you thousands of dollars, or worse, turn a fun day into a deadly outing! Federal statutes dictate that, whether or not your craft is motorized, you can be charged with Impaired Operation of a vessel under the Criminal Code of Canada if your blood alcohol level exceeds the .08 threshold. That means you can be charged even if you are impaired while operating a canoe and a judge can, upon conviction, suspend your boating privileges, but it can get worse. Some provinces have enacted additional legislation to curb the practice of drinking and boating. In Ontario for example, Bill 209 amended the Highway Traffic Act to also apply to “anyone operating or having the care or control of a vessel”. As such, anyone found boating with a blood alcohol level above .05, face an on-the-spot drivers’ license suspension. That’s right! You can lose your automobile driver’s licence and should your blood alcohol concentration exceed .08, upon conviction an additional suspension of up to one year can be applied. If that’s not a sufficient deterrent, add the financial impact of court and legal fees, alternative transportation for the year (i.e. taxi, bus, train, etc.) and potential loss of employment if driving is an essential component of your job. The costs keep mounting even after the reinstatement of your license. You’ll face drastically increased insurance premiums for up to 6 years and the inconvenience and embarrassment related to the installation and use of an ignition interlock system. These costs can easily amount to many thousands of dollars! The decision to drink and boat seems pretty stupid when stacked up against these penalties! But many impaired boaters are not stopped before something even worse happens. The Canadian Safe Boating Council completed a survey that identified in nearly 40% of boating related deaths alcohol was a factor and 23% of the cases involved alcohol above the legal limit. What increases the effects of alcohol while boating are sunshine and a boat’s natural rocking motion that can turn a simple ride can turn into a dangerous dunking. It only takes a large wake or wave, a quick change in the boat’s direction, or a ‘tippy canoe’ to result in someone falling overboard with tragic consequences. Navigating a boat takes coordination and your full concentration. Your decision making skills and ability to react suddenly to changes in condition and surroundings is compromised by alcohol. Your reaction time slows, your vision and judgement are affected and you are more willing to be reckless and take risks. All of this can result in a preventable accident in which you or someone you care for ends up in hospital or worse. Psychologists know that human nature has a way of rationalizing. “It can’t possibly happen to me” is often the thought. Whether that means “I’ll never be caught” or “I’ll never be killed” doesn’t matter. Neither of those things will happen if boaters stick to just boating on the water. Afterward, you can have a few drinks on shore and then stay put. It’s that simple - If you drink, don’t drive your boat.

Vermilion Bluffs walk with VFFN Janis Wright Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists
Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists walked the KVR trail from the tunnel to Vermilion Bluffs and back, on the very warm morning of July 20, and managed to keep cool with periodic visits to the river. The bluffs are an area of interest, of course, as the historic source of the esteemed red ochre used for trading & face painting by many First Nations. Our group was also able to appreciate the various species of birds we encountered, as field trip leader Amanda Lahaie is one of our club’s more knowledgeable birders.
Lazuli buntings, gray catbirds, ospreys, and turkey vultures were some of the highlights. Our convivial group of nine not only found interesting gems along the Tulameen riverbed, but were good citizens, picking up litter along the way. Our next field trip will be held August 10, when Beryl Wallace and Marg Hamblin will lead an easy hike up Hedley Creek. Princetonites will meet at Billy’s Restaurant at 8 a.m. to carpool, while those in Hedley will gather at Wanderer’s Rest at 8:30. Bring a snack, water and confirm with Beryl at 250-295-4365.

The Hedley Community Club Youth Group was started up by T.J. Bratt with the assistance of Cherie R. in November of 2012. The kids (ages 4 – 13) are Calaya, Nolan, Zion, Ayralia, Allison, Mackenzie, Solarah, Dredan and Polly. They enjoy coming every Tuesday for planned fun activities, games and music. Mrs. Bratt leads the group and instills leadership, courtesy, respect for others, and sense of community. Mrs. Bratt invited Jodel, Hedley’s own talented musician, to come each week and teach the kids 6 songs and a variety of instruments. The kids had their debut on stage, with Jodel, at the Hedley Museum celebration of Stamp Mill Day, May 18, 2013. The performance was a great hit with the community. A Big Thank You to Jodel for her patience and musical expertise. Mrs. Bratt and Cherie collaborated with Ms. Angelique Wood, RDOS Area G Director to come on April 16, 2013. Ms. Wood presented a slide presentation and discussed the RDOS and how Hedley is represented, share and spirit gardens and the different stages of how a pea matures from seed. Ms. Wood helped the kids fill dirt and pea seeds into individual homemade newspaper pots, which when planted are biodegradable. Everyone took a pot home and planted them in a spot where they could share the mature plant with others. Ms. Wood then organized the kids outside in front of the Hedley Community Club and helped everyone plant beans, peas and flowers from seed. The kids really enjoyed their day with Ms. Wood. The garden has since matured and is producing peas and beans which are being shared with the community. Mrs. Bratt, Ms. Wood and Cherie, have instilled a sense of community with the kids. The kids have monitored the growth of the garden and are very proud of themselves. Mrs. Bratt, Cherie and the kids would like to thank and acknowledge Mr. Graham Gore (Minister) and Mrs. Peggy Terry (Treasurer) of the Hedley Unity Church for their generous support and donation to the youth group. Summer has arrived and the Youth Group will resume in September. A big Thank You to TJ Bratt from Cherie and the kids for starting up the Hedley Youth Group and for her dedication.

This is the fourth in a series of stories about some of the performers appearing at the Princeton Traditional Music Festival. The Festival begins on the evening of Friday, August 16 with the opening ceremony followed by a country-dance on Veterans’ Way beside the Legion. The dance will feature a live band with fiddle, guitar and concertina. Everyone is welcome. There will be a caller to teach the dances so no experience is necessary and people don’t even need to bring a partner. On Saturday and Sunday there will be music from 10 am until 6 p.m. right in town. We are very fortunate this year to have a wealth of new performers, some of whom play music far different from anything you might hear on the radio. One of these musicians is Hazem Matar, originally from Saudi Arabia, who plays the oud, a lute-like instrument strung similarly to a twelvestring guitar. The modern oud and the European lute both descend from a common ancestor via diverging paths. The oud is readily distinguished by its lack of frets and smaller neck. It is considered an ancestor of the guitar.
eton. The oldest pictorial record of a lute dates back to ancient prehistory in Southern Mesopotamia over 5000 years ago on a cylinder seal currently housed at the British Museum. The oud is played throughout central Asia and North Africa. Hazem has played the oud, for over 20 years. He studied Arabic classical music for oud and vocals with one of Saudi Arabia’s great masters, Ghazi Ali. Well-known for his technique and musical spirit in his home city of Jeddah, Hazem brings the Arab world’s rich musical tradition to Princeton. Hazem Matar is just one of the new performers appearing at this year’s Festival, and the best thing about it is it’s free! The reason it’s free is because it’s run entirely by volunteers and the performPhoto contributed Hazem Matar will be singing and playing ers are donating their talents.

Royal Canadian Legion News - George Pearkes Branch #56 - Princeton, B.C. Congratulations!
LEGION GOLF TOURNAMENT
to all you Poker Fans... Watch this page for the exciting start up of our weekly poker games at the Legion. they will be on Wednesdays and will begin the end of september/ early October. Dinner will also be available prior to games.
A very successful day was enjoyed by 50 participants on July 13, during the annual golf tournament. Thank you to all the business and individuals in town that supported this great event.
COMMENTS The Legion would like to make the following comments in regards to a note penciled on our “It’s Barbecue Season” notice at the Post Office. “Please support the businesses trying to make a living”, it said! First, let us state that the Legion does support the local businesses in town as much as anyone else! Then let’s add the fact that the legion is a “NOT FOR PROFIT” organization that needs to generate an income to run and maintain our premises. A very large percentage of the work in the Legion is done by very generous volunteers. On these premises we pay taxes, utilities, upkeep, wages and maintenance just like everyone else. Our premises are utilized by the whole town at some time or another. We support many charities and we run many events every year for the benefit of our members and the general population of Princeton. Please don’t forget that the Legion in Canada is the largest organization that supports our veterans. These veterans have been there to keep Canada the wonderful and free place it is today! We are fortunate in Princeton to have a very active Legion and we have many supporters to THANK for that. So next time you feel like defacing our posters please think again or at least put up your own poster with your comments.
The provincial Legion Command has announced that two of our members have been appointed to the Legion’s standing committees. Sharon Paterson to the Membership Committee and Wayne Terepocki to the Workshop Committee. This is a great honour, that in our small town two of our members should be appointed in one year. Congratulations and good luck in your endeavours!

Line a 9-inch pie plate with 1 rolled-out crust and place in the refrigerator to chill. Put the blueberries in a bowl, add the lemon juice, and stir to coat. Separately, combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon, mix thoroughly and stir into the blueberries. Spread the filling in the crust, and scatter the butter over the top. Brush the rim of the crust with the egg wash, cover with the second rolled-out crust, and seal and flute or crimp the edges. Put the pie in the refrigerator to chill until firm, about 30 minutes.

CAPRICORN: Do something for yourself this week, Capricorn. It’s a good time to treat yourself before you must devote more of your time to others in the near future. AQUARIUS: Aquarius, something has been on your mind but you just can’t put your finger on it. Forget about it for awhile, and you just may come to a realization. PISCES: Few things that escape your notice this week, Pisces. Always detail-oriented, you need to figure out how to use the information. ARIES: Aries, a challenge arises that requires you to have the utmost confidence in your abilities. Some self-confidence and hard work are all you need to successfully tackle this challenge. TAURUS: Taurus, you can choose from among many paths, but this week you will have to carefully think about which way to go. Otherwise you may end up having to backtrack and start over. GEMINI: Gemini, unless you change your line of thinking, you may have trouble in the romance department this week. You don’t have to be a smooth operator, but just sweeten your sentiments. CANCER: Cancer, sometimes you like being the center of attention, and other times you are content to blend into the background. This week you will have to embrace the spotlight. LEO: Leo, after letting things slide for awhile, you will need to get a better handle on your finances this week. If you feel as though things have gotten out of control, then talk to a professional. VIRGO: Issues at work may have you contemplating a career change, Virgo. But you may want to hold off on changes for a little while longer until things settle down. LIBRA: A quick visit with family can make you feel refreshed and renewed, Libra. There is nothing like spending time with the ones you love to improve your mood. SCORPIO: Scorpio, catch up on some overdue health screenings. There has never been a better time to get these things done, and you don’t want to put your health on the back burner. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, there is only so much persuading you can do before you must let others choose their own paths. A difficult conversation has you second-guessing something. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY
tablespoons cold milk Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender until it is the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the milk over part of the flour mixture. Gently toss with a fork and push to the side of the bowl. Sprinkle another tablespoon of milk over another dry part, toss with a fork and push to the side of the bowl.
Repeat with the remaining milk until all of the flour mixture is moistened. Press the dough together to form 2 equal balls, then flatten into disks. Roll out the crusts right away, or wrap the dough tightly, smoothing out any little wrinkles or air pockets, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Use a light touch and handle the dough as little as possible.

Finding heritage and architecture on an epic trip across Canada
Picking up from last week, you may recall that I told you of our epic trip across such a strong heritage in an area of western Canada that was so decidedly French. The Canada, Rosebud Dinner Theatre and the little town it is situated in. We next trav- town is dominated by a group of buildings that include a cathedral, plus a school and eled through East Coulee, Alberta and past the official hoodoos found a hospital originally run by nuns. The architecture was spectacular. We on Highway 10. Those hoodoos are just a precursor to the area east of were able to spend a couple of hours exploring the church and viewing the there that contains Dinosaur Provincial Park which is a UNESCO World artwork and stained glass windows. We left the next day and just to throw Heritage Site, and The Cypress Hills. The teepee rings and ghost towns in a curve into that little French experience, we found the best ever cafe that this part of western Canada echo with the history of some steely people served a perogy breakfast that fuelled the next three hundred kilometers who lived through indescribable hardships. There is an eeriness that makes or so through little towns such as Willow Bunch, home of the Willow a person feel like they are trespassing on sacred places. Colours are faded Bunch Giant (a sad story for later) and Assiniboia which, like Ponteix, had to pastels and neutrals. Even the antelope appear ghostlike and to see them remarkable hints of European architecture in its civic buildings. is a magical gift. It must have had the same profound effect on each wave At this point in the journey, we had been hungrily gobbling up sights, of inhabitants, starting with prehistory. taking photos and talking to locals. Paul was the expert in chatting up folks MERRILYN HUYCKE As we drifted over the provincial line into southwestern Saskatchewan, and he would ferret out the most amazing bits of information about each we discovered Ponteix, a town of 600 souls.

We would also park next to I had the information I would need to sum up the prairie psyche and would deal with the grain elevators when we were traveling the prairie provinces. More times than not, that later when I had nailed the rest of Canada. Ha! I was not prepared for crossing we would be awakened at about 2 a.m. by that melancholic sound of the whistle of the the border into Manitoba and all the childhood memories with their emotions attached once a night freight train passing through. I tell you, that sound brought back child- that would come rushing to smack me right between the eyes. hood memories, but I digress.

ROY: July 21st, 2013. It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to a wonderful husband, father and friend. Roy passed away peacefully with his loving wife and children at his side. He will be greatly missed by his wife Annie, who loved him completely and unconditionally. She supported him through his illness every step of the way to his last breath. He was her whole world, her life and he will remain forever in her heart. He will also be missed by his children: Terreasa (Troy), Terry (Trina), Victoria, Samantha and Tony and his mom Beverly, sister Lorraine and his brother Dave. Roy was an amazing man, quiet and gentle with a great sense of humour. He was a man of few words, but when he spoke everyone listened. He was an entrepreneur at heart, building many businesses throughout his life, some still standing to this day. He had an amazing work ethic and a big heart. He was never too busy to help someone out and enjoyed sharing his enthusiasm and knowledge with anyone that needed it. He was an amazing father that took the time to share what was important in a loving and kind way. He encouraged his children to work hard, play hard and enjoy every minute of it. Roy was well-known around town, especially when you wanted an ice cold drink, to have a barbecue or a shiny clean car. He will be missed by many and was loved by all. Although he is no longer here, he remains with us in our memories, and our hearts. His legacy lives on in his children and grand-children. A Celebration of Roy’s Life will be held on August 3rd, 2013 at 1:00pm at Riverside Center, 148 Old Hedley Road, Princeton, BC. In lieu of flowers please make donations to the Roy Culbertson Youth Award for Excellence, to be awarded annually to a Princeton Secondary student. Messages of condolence may be sent to the family by visiting www.hansonsfuneral.ca

HAYWARD ARTHUR NORMAN: Born May 17, 1922 in Prince George, BC. Passed away peacefully July 18, 2013 at Princeton General Hospital. Art was an inspiration to many and will be sadly missed by all his family and friends. Art was pre-deceased by his parents in 1936/1938 leading to the start of his amazing journey through life. A man of many talents and many experiences, a war vet, a farmer, a construction worker, a scrap metal dealer, a logger, a father and a friend. He was also pre-deceased by his infant daughter Marjorie Lucille in 1969, and his wife Shannon Coral in 2001. Art leaves behind his children Yvonne (Len Liddicoat), Coral (Lorne Cochran), his grandchildren Mariah (Ben Stout), Colen, Megan, Christopher and Candace, his great grandson William Stout and his long time friend and caregiver Margaret King.
