Mini Pow Wow held in Veterans Square Lisa Carleton lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

The Princeton Arts Council with the help of Dian Brooks were pleased to host the High Water Singers and Native Fancy Dancer, Ernie Philip (Dancing Bear) at Veterans Square on Saturday, June 14. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m, residents were treated to a day of culture, drumming and dance as well as interactive dance by the High Water Singers and Ernie Philip. John Terbasket of the High Water Singers explained the history of the drum - their ‘grandfather.’ the singers who compete all over, were given this drum by a family of the Bella Coola Nation. “We had a pretty ratty old drum and the family took pity

on us and gave us this one,” he said. The drum is made of moose hide, shaped wood and lacing. “A lot of time and effort goes in to making these - it’s a way of life,” he added. He explained that whenever they travel with the drum, they take that family with them and sing in honour of them. The High Water Singers don’t travel and sing to become rich, “We do this for love and prayer,” explained Terbasket. He told residents that in the 1800s to about 1960, any more than two native peoples were considered to be an ‘uprising.’ They were not allowed to gather in public together. The Pow Wow is to celebrate life, “to bring us all together —and we’re thankful now that we can do so,” he said. Modernly the Pow Wow can be competitive, but the core - the history, is still the largest part.

Running for council? Guest Editorial Black Press

The municipal elections are in far-off November. I don’t even want to think of the cold and snow of November yet. Please, we haven’t even had the scorching heat of summer. But, we must think of November because of said elections. Local politicos are already thinking of it. Incumbents and new candidates alike will come forward. Before you throw your hat into the ring, here are a few tips for candidates. We’ve all been watching local politics for a long time, some of us longer than others. Don’t run promising open government and better communication How many candidates have we seen over the years making the promise that under their watch there will be a better flow of information from Town Hall to town citizen? And yet when they get into office they quickly realize it’s not as easy as it sounds. Sometimes there are legal reasons why a lot of information cannot be released. Sometimes there are other hurdles. Sure, almost every city hall in the province could probably do a better job of communicating, but don’t walk in thinking you’re going to be able to make drastic changes in that regard. Don’t run for Council thinking you’ll be popular You won’t be. Not only will you not be popular, you will be accosted by phone, email and in person by citizens unhappy with taxes, potholes, taxes, sidewalks, taxes, arenas, taxes, snow removal and taxes. You will find that you can’t go out in public without someone bringing up something they are unhappy with and expecting you to fix it. Which leads us to point 3; Don’t run if you are overly sensitive to criticism You will be criticized. You will likely be called names. Developing a thick skin and a high tolerance for taking abuse, and not responding in a snippy manner, is a vital skill. Those in public service must maintain a calm about them in the face of some pretty nasty comments. It’s not all bad, but as is true almost everywhere, you hear more from angry people than those happy with you. Don’t run expecting to bring massive change A local government can have very little effect on the overall economy, so don’t make any promises in that regard. Municipalities are not able to offer tax incentives to business. Certainly a town can do what it can to tempt business by promoting itself as a great place to live, but a local government’s job is to manage the budget and provide infrastructure and services to its citizens. In addition, you, as an individual mayor or councillor must work with the other members of council in order to get anything done. Majority rules, compromise is the order of the day and change comes slowly. Don’t run if you’ve never been to a Council meeting or a budget meeting If you can’t sit through three hours of bylaws and financial minutiae, this is not the job for you. Because there will be meetings. And more meetings. Hours of meetings every week. There is so much to learn about government process that many newly elected councillors say it takes half the first term just to get up to speed. Have we scared you off yet? We hope not because municipalities rely on people who care, who love their communities, to step up and take on the often thankless job of Mayor or Councillor. Luckily, there never seems to be a shortage of those people. Good luck to you all in the fall. PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY Annual subscription: $35.24 locally, $54.29 elsewhere in Canada.

How will ALR changes affect rural BC? Dear Editor, I keep reading articles regarding the changes to take place with the ALR and the land commission, and ask â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How are these changes going to affect agriculture in BC and in particular rural agriculture and rural communities as a whole? Our Rural communities are suffering. They are losing population and with it necessary infrastructure that supports farmers, both large and small. Farmers need other farmers to survive. Feed stores, equipment dealers, veterinarians, abattoirs, fertilizer, seed, hardware and irrigation suppliers all require numbers of customers to remain in business in a community. The fewer customers remaining, the further we all have to travel to purchase basic needs, the more difficult it becomes to make agriculture a viable entity. We are also people, and require other amenities and services like doctors, dentists, lawyers, teachers, pharmacies, ice arenas, swimming pools, cell service etc. Rural communities need to be able to attract a population wanting to live in a rural

setting, and that usually includes an opportunity to practice some small scale agriculture. The ALR has over the past 40 years been a major contributor to the loss of rural populations, by restricting the number of small holdings. There has been no mention whatsoever in all this talk about restructuring of the ALR and zones, regarding soil capability! YES! I agree, hang onto class 1 soils for major commercial agriculture. The soils are precious in BC. But let some of the class 3, 4 and 5 soils go to small scale and non-soil based agriculture. A 5 acre parcel on a class 4 rock pile in the southern Okanagan will be far more productive with a horse, a cow, two sheep and an apple tree than the same acreage in grazing land offering grass to one cow on 20 acres for four months of the year.

Thank you for fixing the Old Hedley Road Dear Mayor Armitage and Councillors, I wish to thank you and your staff, CAO Rick Zerr for providing the leadership to improve the Old Hedley Road from Highway 5 to East Princeton. Previously the road was narrow, pot-holed and dangerous.

Now it is wonderful! As one who voiced concern about that road, I want to be sure to voice praise for a job well done. Thank you. Shirley Campbell Princeton

What happens there has consequences here Dear Editor, What is the ghost of Osama Bin Laden saying to President G.H. Bush and President G.W. Bush as the tragic disaster in Iraq unfolds? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mission Accomplished!!?â&#x20AC;? Which could mean: A severe spike in oil prices resulting in a stock market crash, leading to a deep world depression, social unrest, upheaval and anarchy. OR... Finally to propel the Moslem world itself and nations who face the same dilemma such as Russia, India, China and Nato to join forces in developing and implementing policies that would eradicate the scourge

of terrorism. During the 1940s war years living in Copper Mountain, our good teachers taught us students to always keep ourselves informed by reading and listening to the news, for what may happen in faraway places could have consequences in our own town and home. How very true! A good teacher is priceless and never fades away. Joe Schwarz Penticton BC

Nadine McEwen Town of Princeton – Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services

Braedy Hassell smiles as he gets ready to fly with a Penticton Flying Club member during the COPA for Kids event held at the Princeton Airport on June 8.

COPA for Kids takes flight over Princeton

For the third year, COPA (Canadian Owners and Pilots Association) brought the COPA for Kids Aviation Program to Princeton on June 8. The Princeton Airport Select Committee was on hand to welcome the Penticton Flying Club planes, pilots and ground crew who operate the program. Parents snap up pictures of excitement as 37 young people load up each in turn, to take their flight. The COPA for Kids Aviation Program was developed to help young people understand that a pilot is an individual with very special skills developed through training and practice. Young flyers learn the technology and science of flight and are shown the advantages of the study and hard work required to achieve a pilot’s license. The COPA pilots take the children for a flight over Princeton, providing them with an experience to remember. “The Town of Princeton appreciates the Penticton Flying Club flying over to Princeton each year to offer this wonderful program free to children aged eight to 18,” states Nadine McEwen, Princeton Recreation, Culture and Tourism Coordinator. “The children are full of stories when they arrive back to the terminal after each flight. It is wonderful to see them so excited!”

School strike on as talks collapse Tom Fletcher Black Press

An exchange of proposals between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and government negotiators on the weekend dissolved in acrimony Monday, with a full-scale strike in public schools already underway. Negotiators for the BCTF and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association met until midnight Sunday, as the union moved from rotating strikes to a full walkout with a “study session” on Monday. The two sides contradicted each other on the substance of the wage offers, and each said the next move is up to the other if a deal is to be reached. BCTF president Jim Iker said a complete strike is “imminent,” after union members endorsed the move in their second province-wide strike vote. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Monday he is waiting for a response from the union to the latest offer from BCPSEA, which represents the province’s 60 school districts. BCPSEA chief negotiator Peter Cameron said Monday he still does not have a full position from the BCTF that clarifies the status of the union’s “truckload of benefit proposals.”

Having trouble hiring?

Pick the BEST! for your Business

Cameron said the union’s latest wage offer is a reduction from its previous position, but when increased benefit costs are factored in, it is still more than twice as much compensation as other public sector union settlements. BCPSEA posted a comparison of the two wage offers Monday. It describes the BCTF proposal as a $5,000 signing bonus followed by increases of 3.5 percent in the first year and 1.5 percent in each of the next three years, for a total raise of 8 percent plus compounding. BCPSEA’s latest offer includes a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreement by the end of the school year, and a series of wage increases up to May 2019 that includes “economic stability dividend” amounts depending on B.C.’s economic performance. “[BCPSEA] tabled a comprehensive settlement that includes an improved wage offer and commits to realistic and flexible solutions to address class composition,” Fassbender said. The B.C. Labour Relations Board has extended its essential services order to include provincial final exams and marks for graduating students, so they can apply for post-secondary studies.

Kokanees appreciate community support Jamie Holloway Princeton Kokanees

Kokanee Summer Swim Club had an amazing and successful TRY meet on Saturday June 6. Our team hosted four out of town teams; Penticton Pikes, Kelowna Ogopogos, Merritt Otters, Keremeos Steelheads, with a total of 67 swimmers participating including our own Kokanee swimmers. Mitchell Yee boasts swimmer of the meet, as Mitchell swam fast and made some improvements on his strokes. He was on time for all his races, and did a great job. Way to go Mitchell. Our team was very close to selling out our 50/50 raffle tickets, thank you to everyone in our community who helped us with this fundraising event. We raised $3720 for our team, the lucky winner was Rick Kivari who also won $3720, he generously gave $720 back to the team. A BIG thank you to Rick for your generosity. We would also like to thank local business for your donations and support, without your help this event would not have been so successful. Thank you to Dairy Queen and Chevron for donating coupons, which we handed out to all swimming participants. Thank you Cooper’s for donating

burgers and buns for our TRY meet BBQ that we hosted afterwards. Your donations made it possible for everyone to unwind after our event, enjoy one another’s company and build regional friendships. Thank you to the Princeton Rotary Club for letting us use your bingo spinner for our 50/50 draw, the draw itself became a mini event! Overall our TRY meet ran smoothly thank you to our amazing parent volunteers, coaches, and our Kokanee kids who were great ambassadors for our team and community. We were lucky enough to have fantastic weather, and look forward to making this an annual event for Princeton. The week of June 2 to June 6, our Club Swimmers of the week were; Turtles swimmer Xaiver Ouillette, Development swimmer Tauren Baird, and Junior/Senior swimmer Brook Heron. All these swimmers have shown a great attitude, team spirit, have worked really hard in practice, and have shown personal growth. We are all very proud of you, keep up the good work! Our Kokanee swim team is looking forward to the Merritt swim meet on the weekend of June 14/15, we have 33 swimmers participating in this meet, and always find this event a lot of fun. Wish the Kokanees good luck, as we anticipate breaking some more personal time records.

Scott Legault commits to the University of Victoria Vikes mens hockey team Princeton Posse princetonposse.org

The Princeton Posse Junior Hockey Club is proud to announce that goaltender Scott Legault has committed to play for the University of Victoria Vikes starting the 20142015 season. The 1994 goaltender officially informed Posse staff last week that he accepted an offer from the University of Victoria, where the staff unanimously supported the former 2013-2014 starting goaltender for the Posse. Assistant General Manager and Associate Coach Mark McNaughton commented: “We are extremely excited for the opportunity that Scott has in Victoria. When one of our own has the opportunity to move on, it confirms that we made good choices as an organization. Scotty came into a tough situation and was immediately relied upon to carry the workload, he did a great job for us, and we are extremely grateful for the work he did here and he will always be a member of the Posse family.” Legault was acquired in November in a trade with the Comox Valley Glacier Kings where he was 5-1. Legault was

named the starting goaltender of the Princeton Posse and continued to put on a workload that totalled 23 games played, which included 16 of the last 19 games, and 12 of the last 14. Scotty was perused and chosen by the Posse over many other qualified goaltender candidates that were available. Legault has a resume of winning, and overall having strong playoff performances, including a championship with the Vancouver NW Giants Major Midget Hockey Club. Scott completes his junior career with stops with the Fernie Ghostriders, Columbia Valley Rockies, Beaumont Chiefs, Comox Valley Glacier Kings and Princeton Posse. Scott Legault concluded in a statement: “Playing in Princeton was one of the most beneficial experiences of my hockey career. I have never played for a team as supportive as Princeton. It gave me a lot of confidence in myself as a player knowing that I was playing for teammates and a coaching staff that truly believed in me. I can’t thank the town, the coaches, the volunteers, the fans and all my teammates enough for everything they did for me. I met some great people and made some unforgettable memories in my time with the team. I am beyond proud to be an alumni of the Posse.”

Director Hope was pleased to be a participant in the celebration, “It is an honour and a privilege to be a part of this historic day,” he said, “my thoughts on this are it wouldn’t matter the cost —you can’t replace history.” He commended everyone involved in the restoration of the old courthouse. (new Town Hall) “We are one big family, tied together,” (speaking of Princeton and Area H) said the director and with that he presented a historical photo of the town square, circa 1911 to the mayor. Gordon Comeau spoke of his historical knowledge of the building as he worked there for approximately 28 years. The BC Ranger District # 11 (BC Forest Services) were housed in the old court house along with the governments agent office, police services, gold commissioner and court services which at that time, were manned five days

a week. Comeau said he and his wife had been watching the deterioration of the building for years and are quite pleased that the decision to restore the building had been made. “This council needs to be commended for it’s vision,” he said. “What a beautiful building!” Councillors Harkness and Maynard each expressed their appreciation of the new Town Hall and chamber president, Brenda Crawford offered her congratulations. After the ribbon cutting, attendees were invited inside to have tour of the new Town Hall and to enjoy cake provided by Jeanie Williams. Just inside the entrance, residents had the opportunity to appreciate the artwork of the late Bob Cormack. His work will be on display there until the end of June. The new Town Hall operates on the main floor of the building located at 151 Vermilion Avenue and court services continue in the upper level. Built in 1929/30 and re-dedicated on June 11, 2014, the historic new Town Hall, as councillor Maynard said, “will serve our community for years to come and we are all proud to be a part of this.”

Laurie Currie ~ the legacy lives on through Junior Golf This past weekend saw the junior contingency of members compete for the prestigous Laurie Currie trophy presented to the Junior Golf Club’s Champion. Claiming this year’s Overall Low Gross title is Tristan VanderMeulen (pictured on right) who shot impressive rounds of 78 and 81 over the 2-day tournament. Michael White (left) and Chase Rempel were only 6 shots off the lead after Saturday. Michael White put together a good Father’s Day round to clinch the title of Overall Low Net. Our strong high school golf program offered many competitive entrants into the weekend chal-

lenge. Morton Johnston held it steady both days and took 1st Low Gross, while Chase Rempel golfed well and squeezed into the 1st Low Net position. Hayden Zieske finished 3rd Low Gross, while Hannah Gould finished 4th Low Gross and Eric Holland claimed 5th Low Gross honors. Many on course prizes kept the golfers focused during their whole round. Before prizes were awarded on Sunday, the juniors were told about Laurie Currie and how he was instrumental in making his dream of Princeton having an 18-hole golf course become a reality for our community. —Submitted by Sharleen Anderson

COLD BEVERAGE IDEAL FOR SUMMER Summer is a season synonymous with relaxation. Sitting poolside or relaxing on a patio with a cold beverage is a great way to escape the daily grind and make the most of a warm evening, and the following recipe for “Summer Cantaloupe” from Andrew Schloss’ “Homemade Liqueurs and Infused Spirits” (Storey Publishing) is tailor-made for summer nights.

1. Muddle the vodka, cantaloupe and lemon zest with a wooden spoon in a halfgallon jar. Stir to moisten everything. 2. Seal the jar and put it in a cool, dark cabinet until the liquid smells and tastes strongly of melon, four to seven days. 3. Strain the mixture with a mesh strainer into a clean quart jar. Do not push on the solids to extract more

Summer Cantaloupe Makes about 1 quart 1 4 1

fifth (31/4 cups) 80-100 proof vodka cups cantaloupe chunks cup Simple Syrup (see below) Finely grated zest of 2 lemons

CAPRICORN: Career issues must be dealt with, Capricorn. You may have been running through various options, and if you have reached a decision, then go with your gut instincts. AQUARIUS: Aquarius, although everyone around you seems to be stressing out, for some reason you are able to breeze through your days without a worry in the world. PISCES: Your intuition is telling you to proceed with caution, Pisces. Watch where you step, but don’t let caution take over your life. ARIES: People seem to be going out of their way to be nice to you, Aries. While you may suspect they have ulterior motives, their kindness really is nothing more than good will. TAURUS: Taurus, approach your workload with an optimistic attitude this week. You can expect your efforts to produce positive results that don’t go unnoticed. GEMINI: It is an uphill battle to focus on chores this week, Gemini. You would rather be out having fun, but putting off chores now will only lead to more work down the road. CANCER: Cancer, although you are capable of keeping up appearances this week, you will be lost in your own thoughts. Personal issues prove to be a distraction. LEO: Leo, serve as a diplomat this week, placing yourself in the middle of conflict because you want to help. Keep a level head and don’t get swept into the argument. VIRGO: Virgo, your ability to focus is very strong, but this week you cannot seem to get your mind to cooperate. You may have a million things to think about. LIBRA: You are tempted to join the party this week, even though you know it is probably a better idea to decline. But the prospect of socializing and having a good time is too tempting. SCORPIO: Scorpio, you often feel uncomfortable when you have too many loose ends. It may take quite a while this week to wrap up all of your obligations before you can relax. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, the more you ponder the decisions you have to make, the more you struggle to determine a positive outcome. Give yourself some breathing room. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY

liquid. 4. Stir in the Simple Syrup. 5. Seal and store in a cool, dark cabinet. Use within one year. Simple Syrup Makes 3 cups 21/4 21/4

cups water cups granulated cane sugar

Mix the water and sugar in a small saucepan until the sugar is all moistened. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir to make sure the sugar is completely dissolved, then remove from the heat and let cool. Refrigerate for up to three months. PC146260
