Highway Rescue truck arrives

After 10 years of fundraising and saving, Princeton Highway Extrication Society has a brand new rescue truck. Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

Ten years ago, Ken Crompton passed along some information to Brian Birmingham who in turn, began a ‘pass the hat’ fundraiser during parties at his home, beginning the fundraising efforts for a new truck for the Princeton Highway Extrication Society. Since then, the society has held hot dog sales, sold hats and sandbags and built the little red rescue truck coin banks that you see at the local gas stations - to gather donations. At the end of 2011, Princeton Husky employee John English initiated a major fundraiser with the local papers. “The real driving force with the fundraising was when people realized that we weren’t funded by the government or the municipality,” said society president, Doug Pateman. Husky has been a terrific sponsor of the society for years, providing fuel for the truck and allowing the sale of their sandbags. (Town donates bags and sand is donated by Princeton Redi Mix) Over the past year major contributors have come forward and assisted the society. Seeing another rescue truck on her travels caused past president of the Princeton Hospital Auxiliary, to shake her head and bring her tale to the rest of the board.

Princeton Highway Extrication Society (Highway Rescue)

TRUCK - from page 1 “Our truck was just pitiful in comparison,” she said. The board did some looking into what the Extrication Society had and what they needed. They made the decision to make sure the society got their new truck. “With the work they do on our highways, they deserve to have proper equipment,” said Middleton. RDOS Area H director Brad Hope has assisted with acquiring grant funding, he too feels that the society is deserving of proper equipment. With thanks to Jeff Larsen and Rob Marshall of Princeton Weyerhaeuser, the society received a Weyerhaeuser Canada Community Grant. Most recently, a fundraiser arranged by Rick Gullason, Lana Anderson and Stacie Strong was held at the Copper Mountain Pub and Restaurant. Sam from the pub donated half of the dinner ticket cost to the society. Lindsay Walsh, Eva Pratico, The Tin Whistle Brewery, Kal Tire (Mining Group), Shelby Ortwein, Susan Jakubec, Work n’ Play,

Copper Mountain Pub & Restaurant, Princeton Golf, Princeton Co-Gen, The Princeton Posse, Everything Pets, Cooper’s Foods, Similkameen Soaps, Home Hardware, The Source and Fletchers Building Supplies all provided items for a silent auction. Corporate sponsors are Auto Tac and the Similkameen Spotlight who Pateman says, “have been wonderful with their support.” Pateman says that the arrival of this truck is the dream of three presidents; Nick Goreas, Peter Hartinger and himself (Doug Pateman) along with senior members; Ian Elko, Sandy Lewis and Shelby Smith. The Princeton Extrication Society membership is extremely grateful to all the major contributors, corporate sponsors and everyone in the community who has assisted in making the dream a reality. “Thank you for the recognition and for your support,” he said. The society will continue to raise funds to finish payment of the truck, upgrade equipment and their skills with rescue training sessions.

To support this commitment the Resort has purchased two additional snowcats, bringing the total fleet to four, the most the Resort has ever had”. There is also a great deal of work being done at the ski hill itself with the Downhill runs and cross-country trails being brushed to ensure we can open with a minimal amount of snow. A revamped daylodge menu has been planned to fuel visitors with tasty food after a full day of skiing or boarding.

Grist Mill operator deserves a chance to succeed Black Press Guest Editorial

It appeared to many that under operator Chris Mathieson, the Grist Mill had finally turned the corner towards financial self sufficiency. However, Similkameen and area politicians were dismayed recently to find the historic site’s future once again appears to be uncertain. Heritage Programs and Services Manager Richard Linzey presented a number of potential options the province is in the process of contemplating to regional district committee members last week, none of which Similkameen directors consider palatable. It certainly appeared to us that new manager Chris Mathieson had put the mill on a new path toward financial self sustenance, increasing attendance by more than 100 per cent and offering a steady number of activities and attractions throughout the season and beyond. Mathieson seemed to be well on his way to finding that elusive formula that would allow the province to achieve its goals for the Grist Mill - financial sustainability. That appeared to be the goal expressed through a 2007 business case study and a 2011 workshop involving the local community. However, financial stability doesn’t happen (nor was is projected to) overnight, and less than a year into Mathieson’s tenure, the province appears to be accelerating its desire to divest itself of its local heritage site, at any cost - in spite of hundreds of thousands of dollars spent funding the mill over the past decade, with no defined performance expectations. Money is tight in provincial coffers - we get that. We understand the need to get the province’s books in order. But that priority should not allow the province to relinquish its responsibilty to heritage sites in the province, most of which are in places (like the Similkameen) that need the province’s historical protection and tourism aspect that locations like the Grist Mill bring to a region. Mathieson has shown that he has a vision for the future of the mill - and the energy to make it happen.We believe he has demonstrated a genuine commitment to project. All he needs is the not unreasonable commitment - of public funding in the short term - that previous consultation has indicated as necessary for a business model to succeed at the mill.

‘Little Folks’ fire safety Top: Captain John Laursen of the Princeton Volunteer Fire Department (PVFD) along with firefighters Scott McCarron (left) and Katie-Jo Sutton (bottom) visited Little Folks Nursery School last week. As part of the yearly “Get Out Alive”program with the schools, PVFD members taught the Little Folks about smoke detectors, how and when to dial 911 and about their home fire safety plans. Scott McCarron was asked to arrive in full gear and then to remove it. “At this age we want them to not be afraid of the gear, said Cpt. Laursen, “we want them to know they can trust a firefighter, police officer or paramedic.”

The arrival of cooler weather announces the beginning of wood stove heating in our community. With access to a plentiful supply of wood and wood byproducts, it’s no surprise that a large percentage of Princeton and area residents use wood and pellet stoves to heat their homes. Princeton, like so many communities in the interior, is located in a narrow valley. This geographic location, combined with frequent temperature inversions, results in several days during the winter months where wood smoke and other air pollutants are trapped and accumulate into levels that are hazardous to our health. According to the BC Air Quality website, “wood smoke is much like cigarette smoke, containing a mixture of tiny particles (called particulate matter, or PM) and gases. The smaller particulate matter, PM2.5 can be breathed into the deepest reaches of our lungs. They are associated with serious (sometimes fatal) breathing and heart disorders. Particulate matter also tends to pick up other hazardous pollutants, giving them a free ride into the lungs.” The BC Ministry of Environment has set clear air quality standards aimed at reducing air pollution and improving the health of the province’s citizens. They are working with industry to turn more wood waste into energy and encouraging companies to use the cleanest available technologies. In addition, they provide information to BC residents aimed at improve air quality. Here are some things that we can all do to

improve the air we breathe: • Instead of burning your garden leftovers, use the leaves, clippings and branches to make compost or wood chips (mulch). Or you can take your garden materials to the landfill site where they will recycle it, free of charge. • Don’t burn your garbage or building materials (e.g. plastics, tires, garbage, painted wood, paper and cardboard). These can release very toxic substances when they are burned. Reduce your waste by avoiding over-packaging. And recycle everything you can. • When you burn wood to heat your home, make sure the combustion is efficient, releasing the least possible amount of smoke: • Wet or green wood produces a lot of smoke. Wood should be properly seasoned in a dry place for at least six months. • Do not burn wood that is treated, painted, or laden with salt from exposure to sea water. • Use an efficient, certified wood stove that’s just the right size for your home. Install and operate it correctly. Overloading your stove or starving the fire of air are both harmful. • Think of your neighbors’ health, not to mention your own — avoid burning when the smoke won’t dissipate from the area, such as on cold, clear and calm nights. • Be aware of the “no-burn” periods in your community, and don’t bend the rules! (BC Ministry of Environment: BC Air Quality) For more information on ways to improve our community’s air quality, visit the BC Air Quality website at www.bcairquality.ca/plans/ index.html

Pinewood celebrates great ‘mushing’ day Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

Beginning at their home—Pinewood to the Teepee Lakes Resort Cafe and back, Paula and Richard Pateman hosted a Dryland Mushing Fun Run on Saturday, Nov. 9. The 18 kilometer fun run consisted of seven teams of mushers and 54 dogs who ran along the Trans Canada Trail, stopping for refreshments and a visit with event attendees at the cafe before the nine kilometer run back to Pinewood. Mushers use bicycles, carts, motorless atv’s and regular atv’s to run their teams consisting of 1 to 13 dogs. Many of the teams usually come up from the states. “The government shut down had it’s effect and some of the participants couldn’t make it up this weekend,” said Paula Pateman. However, Valerie Norman and Mark Johnson from Seattle, were able to make it up for the event. “This is one more way to recreate with our dog and we love it up here,” said Norman. The couple have been travelling to Pinewood to partake in the Dryland Mushing Fun Run for the past four years. Johnson ran this years event with a three dog team and a bicycle. Although the Patemans have been hosting this event for a few years, this years event has folks excited and signing up for next year’s already. “Somebody graded the trail,” said Paula Pateman, “It’s just fabulous, and the timing of it worked out just perfectly for our event.” Event attendee, Evelyn Levasseur said that the trail had been in terrible shape for years. “This junction to the Shinnish Creek turnoff was like a bucking bronco,” she said. Now people are out using it and “the visitors and locals appreciate whoever did the work tremendously,” she said. The Patemans wish to extend their thanks to all the participants and volunteers who helped make the event a success as well as a special thanks to director Hope and Mayor Armitage for their “encouraging words.”

Councillor Kim Maynard looks on as two of the excited teams head back out to finish their 18 kilometer fun run on the Trans Canada Trail. Councillor Doug Pateman (son of Paula and Richard) was out on the main road directing traffic while the teams crossed to the trail. The fun run ended back at the beginning—the home of Paula and Richard Pateman at Pinewood, where the mushers and their teams enjoyed visiting with the Pateman family.

Deer use their senses to adapt to their environment and keep them alive and thriving. We previously explored their keen sense of smell, identifying ways we can use that attribute to our advantage. Adopting several rotating deterrent options, directed at disturbing one or more of the senses works best. Hearing: Sharp loud noises can startle deer, and repeated use of different sounds at different times can move the deer away from a regular stroll through your yard. Pop cans filled with rocks, small air horns (depending on your neighbours), bells and I’ve even heard of folks using prey animal noises. A well trained dog that runs out and barks a couple of times, can be effective, but I caution in areas where deer have already moved in and are resident they may become aggressive towards the dog. Sight: Flashing streamers on ‘favourite plants’, a menacing looking dog, a shot of water on a laser sensor can help deter the deer from loitering. Hanging streamers along the top rail of your fence, or on a flat galvanized wire that is higher than your fence or cantilevered out, are very effective in stopping deer from jumping over into the yard. Taste: Links for spray-on recipes;http://gardening.yardener. com/Repelling-Deer http://new.wildaboutgardening.org/en/features/section3/ deer/deterrents.htm http://www.savvyhousekeeping.com/using-plants-to-deterdeer/ The smell of these taste deterrents can also deter humans from enjoying the gardens, so proceed with caution using these strategies. Touch: Providing ‘feel’ deterrents can be a bit more of a challenge. Jets of water, as described above are terrific. They surprise the deer and the feel of water is disturbing. A jet of water from a garden hose - held by the homeowner is good too. Make sure you are in a safe location and give a quick few spurts at the body of the deer, avoiding the face and eyes. Consider strategy; aim the spray stream (up under the tail) when the deer is facing a safe way out of your yard.

Pet food on the porch is an ideal snack for more than just Rover! Bears, coyotes, cougars, and rodents love pet food and will climb onto decks and porches to eat it. Pet food dishes on the porch or patio can attract bears, coyotes, cougars, racoons, rodents and the neighbour’s pets. To date, I have not heard of a deer browsing on pet food, but who knows how long it will be before they will decide to try it? Deer have been known to eat dead birds and mice.

Rotating deterrents are most effective when the neighbourhood is on board. Community members need to understand that harbouring and or feeding deer (any wildlife) is contributing to the increasing assertive/aggressive deer situations. It’s easier for us to comprehend that bears, coyotes and cougars are ‘wildlife’ but deer (ungulates) are too. Feeding wildlife or encouraging them to live in our urban communities can have negative impacts on the animals; either by the need for Conservation Officers to destroy them - after a negative encounter with a human(s), by providing them unnatural food sources which their guts aren’t really meant to digest and providing the larger predators a ready source of food. Deer also carry ticks which are linked to Lyme disease.

Similkameen Spotlight November 13, 2013

A special take on stuffed pork tenderloin Sometimes a home chef’s chance to leave his or her cooking comfort zone can lead amateur chefs to wondrous places. Whether enjoying the cuisine of another country or just trying a particular food for the first time, experimenting with food is one of the true joys of cooking. For those who always wanted to try their hand at the foods of Spain, consider the following recipe for “Matambre de Cerdo (Stuffed Pork Tenderloin” from James Campbell Caruso’s “Espana: Exploring the Flavors of Spain” (Gibbs Smith), a collection of recipes and an examination of the ingredients that make Spanish cuisine so beloved across the globe. MATAMBRE DE CERDO (STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN) Serves 4

CAPRICORN: Capricorn, others trust what you have to say and want to follow along with your guidance. Cherish this trust and think carefully before making decisions that affect your loved ones. AQUARIUS: Aquarius, sort out an ongoing issue that has been compromising your focus at work. Once you clear your mind, you can once again focus on your career. PISCES: Pisces, you may find yourself spending more time with your social circle than your family in the next few days. ARIES: Aries, seek the advice of a mentor or confidante when a puzzling situation presents itself this week. Another person’s perspective might be all you need to solve this problem. TAURUS: Taurus, getting the job done just isn’t enough. You always need to get it done to the best of your ability and that’s why others find you so reliable. GEMINI: Gemini, focus your energy on work this week, as a possible promotion is looming over the horizon. Give work your best efforts, and you will soon be glad you did. CANCER: Cancer, sometimes the key to success is to know when to step back and recharge. This week, spend some time resting and relaxing, and you will have the energy needed to go forward. LEO: Leo, you may be looking for something new to occupy your time. Try learning a new sport or language. It will keep your brain sharp and pass the time in a productive way. VIRGO: Virgo, this week is a great time to stop procrastinating and to get back on track. Figure out a time when you have the most energy, and dive right into the task at hand. LIBRA: Libra, get behind a cause that will benefit your community. You have been interested in giving back to others, and this week presents a great opportunity to do just that. SCORPIO: Scorpio, you love to socialize with friends and family, but lately time has been hard to come by. Plan a get-together with friends and family. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, you can handle difficult situations with ease and your loved ones know it. When such a situation presents itself this week, don’t be afraid to take charge.

In Loving Memory Of ROSE O’ROURKE

November 20, 1932 - November 11, 1984 Feel no guilt in laughter, they know how much you care. Feel no sorrow in a smile, that they’re not here to share. You cannot grieve forever, they would not want you to. They’d hope you would carry on, the way you always do. So talk about the good times and the ways you showed you cared. The days you spent together, all the happiness you shared. Let memories surround you, a word someone may say, Will suddenly recapture, a time, an hour, a day, That brings them back so clearly as though they were still here, And fills you with all the feelings that they are always near. For if you keep these moments, you will never be apart, And they will live forever, locked safe within your heart. Love always, The Family
