HE’S SO CUTE Tara Bowie Spotlight Staff Although the thought never crossed Jason Lomax’s mind to perform drag at the legion in Princeton, when asked his answer was, “why not?” Lomax, who’s stage name is Della Devine, is one of two performers taking the stage Saturday night. After hearing about the legion’s desire to increase attendance numbers and come up with different offerings for patrons, Lomax jumped at the chance to perform. “We’re hopefully helping to breathe some new life into the legion. I know some of the legion’s are struggling, some have shut down,” he said. “When they asked me I thought why not. It wouldn’t necessarily be the first place I call to get a gig, but why not?” he said. Lomax will perform impersonations of Tina Turner and Whitney Houston, while Aron Brown, as Iona Whipp will perform as Amy Winehouse and Liza Minelli. The 37-year-old has performed drag at clubs and events all over Vancouver. Last year Lomax was named Miss Gay Vancouver and raised money and awareness for the BC Cancer Foundation. “(Cancer) is what took my mom five years ago. It’s not all just the glam and the attention and that stuff. It’s a vehicle for doing something for my community as well.” The show in Princeton will have a more personal feel as it will be the first time many local friends and family get a chance to see a performance. “I have family there. It’s a little personal for me. They don’t get to see me perform very often. I’m always in the city, at a club

it’s always late,” he said. “Now they get to see me strut my stuff.” Saturday night the legion will be transformed into a “glamourous, showy, glitzy, shiny,” venue to match the bigger-than-lifeperformances that will take place. Lomax has performed as Whitney Houston since the beginning but Tina Turner is a new development in the repertoire. “My reason for doing Whitney now also changes a little bit because she’s gone. She was fantastic and the younger generation, the early 20 somethings, don’t know much about her. I want them to get to know her talent and her strength as a female vocalist,” Lomax said. “Tina, I grew up admiring her. My mother and grandmother both love Tina. Tina’s going to be a new character for me so it’s also a part of pushing myself and my craft to try and do these things.” Lomax said Ionna Whip’s performances as Amy Winehouse and Liza Minelli will definitely be crowd pleasers. “She’s got the lockdown on sultry and sexy and that kind of allure for that kind of performance,” he said. “The sexy eyes, come hither finger. Got that down. Her Liza is fantastic, Amy Winehouse is great.” Tickets for the show are almost sold out. Cost is $15 and includes an appetizer. Doors open Saturday, January 31 at 7 p.m. Show starts at 8 p.m.

The Royal Canadian Legion in Princeton is presenting an evening of impersonations with Iona Whipp as Amy Winehouse and Liza Minelli and Della Devine as Tina Turner and Whitney Houston.

Racing Days hits finish line Resident tasered Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

The 50th running of the Similkameen Cup will never take place. Karrie Crucil, the last president of the Princeton Racing Days Association, blames a declining horse race industry in general, and technology in particular. “Computers and technology have hurt it the most,” Crucil said in an interview with The Spotlight, days after the association folded at its second attempt at an Annual General Meeting Friday. “You don’t have to go out to watch it anymore. You can sit on your couch, turn on your laptop and be betting on the million dollar Dubai Classic. There were not enough volunteers willing to take board positions at last week’s AGM in order for the Racing Days Association to continue. Crucil stepped down after four years leading the group, for personal reasons, and that left two board members willing to move forward and fill six spots. Crucil said she was “saddened, disheartened and hurt.” But she was not surprised.

Funding decreased from $25,000 in 2011 to $11,000 in 2014. In 2013 it cost $50,000 for the association to host one day of horse racing. A meeting of interested parties was to be held Monday, January 26th, to discuss ideas for alternative events for Princeton over the Canada Day holiday. Jen Bernard, who was one of the two remaining Racing Days board members willing to stand for another term, said she is optimistic that Canada Day can still be successful in Princeton. “There is no reason we can’t have a Canada Day parade. We still have the golf tournament. Everyone keeps saying it’s racing weekend. Call it Canada Day. Call it July 1st, whatever. The horse racing aspect is gone, that’s all.” As a non-profit association funds still held by Racing Days will be distributed to a group “with similar interests,” said Crucil, although the recipient of any money left over has yet to be determined. “All I know for sure is we want to do something to help the kids, the youth.”

“Not just anybody can do it. You have to have a knowledge of the horse racing industry and a background of what to do.” Last year there was no paramutual betting at Princeton Racing Days on the Canada Day long weekend, and while the board brought in other entertainment like logging the event lost money. The weekend was also poorly attended, said Crucil. “Eight hundred people through the gate doesn’t pay for an event.” At its most successful Princeton Racing Days was part of a thriving Interior Racing circuit with races also being held in Kamloops, Osoyoos and Vernon. “My goodness, in the hey day you could have had two to four days of racing [in Princeton]. There are pictures somewhere in your archives taken from the top of the grandstands and vehicles as far as you can see. Two or three thousand people would not be uncommon.” Crucil said while Racing Days has always been supported by the municiplality and local merchants, it suffered from declines in funding from Interior Racing.

during home invasion Spotlight Staff

A Princeton resident was tasered during a home invasion January 16 and police are looking for three suspects. The incident occurred in Lynwood Mobile Home Park at approximately 9:53 pm. Three people wearing masks forced their way into a residence at that location, committed the assault and left with personal property belonging to the victim. RCMP sergeant Barry Kennedy said “there is some kind of connection there…it wasn’t a random home invasion.” Kennedy said the crime may be the result of a dispute over money, and added that at least one suspect has been possibly identified but not located. The case is being handled by the RCMP’s Regional General Investigation’s Unit in Penticton. The victim was transported to Princeton General Hospital, treated for injuries, and released. Kennedy called a home invasion “a very rare event” for the area. Anyone who may have seen something that may have seemed suspicious in the area or who may have information relating to this act of violence, are asked to contact the Princeton RCMP or Crimestoppers.

Stolen vehicle ends up in Chase Spotlight Staff

A vehicle stolen from a Princeton residence earlier in the month was recently used in a break and enter in Chase, and involved in a high-speed pursuit with police.

RCMP sergeant Barry Kennedy said the chase was called off as speeds were reaching dangerous levels. The 2014 Grey GMC Terrain, license plate number 720 LXM was

This is a price increase everyone can support

It’s not easy to support an increase in price of most goods and services. That reality is what makes the recently announced increases in camping prices in British Columbia’s provincial parks unique. The prices aren’t that high. And it’s high time they were higher. Last week the government announced campsite fees will increase between $2 and $5. It is the first province-wide increase since 2010 – you can’t say that about most recreational options – and it still maintains camping in BC as one of the most affordable forms of holiday. Backcountry camping remains at $5 per night in many parks and $35, per party per night, represents the ceiling for regular use even in the most sought after locations. Last year the province collected $17 million in park and recreation fees, while spending $22 million on direct park costs. There is no reason whatsoever that taxpayers should not recoup all the costs of operating provincial parks and indeed they could reasonably expect to make a profit. Campsite use is on the rise in B.C. since the introduction of an online reservation service called Discover Camping, which opens for the season at 9 a.m. on March 15. The system handled 133,000 reservations last year, nearly a 10 per cent increase over 2013. As traffic to BC parks increases, so will the costs of maintaining those properties and protecting their environments. Moreover, last year BC spent $293 million fighting forest fires, and some of those fires started with roasting hotdogs and marshmallows. British Columbia is a world tourist destination, and many visitors spend their time here touring the province in RVs, or hiking and cycling and camping along the way. The residents of British Columbia should not have to subsidize getaways for those who live out of province, or out of the country. In the Princeton area camping fees saw some of the lowest increases. Front country camping at Manning Park and Otter Lake goes from $21 to $23, and at Stemwinder, from $16 to $18. If that’s just too much money to enjoy a night out in the stars in one of the most beautiful places on earth, people should just stay home. - AD The Similkameen Spotlight welcomes letters to the editor on matters of public interest.

Considering an NDP vote for the very first time Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca With the selection of Angelique Wood as the NDP candidate for the Central Okanagan Similikameen-Nicola constituency, I find myself dealing with an inner quandary. She is my neighbour, only two doors away. Also, I observed her efforts fairly carefully during the three years she was the RDOS representative for Area G. Her work ethic is impressive and she has an evident love for the Similkameen Valley and for Canada. Given that I have a positive opinion of her, why would I hesitate to vote for her? It certainly isn’t that I favour one of the other two major parties. I think former PM Jean Chretien best epitomizes why I might hesitate. Some years ago, I was in a line of people patiently standing in a hot sun waiting for the privilege of shaking his hand. When he finally appeared, he sped along the line with the determined visage of a Kentucky Derby race horse. He showed no warmth or interest in us. His inner voice might have been saying, “I really would rather not be here. These people mean nothing to me. The only reason I’m here is that they are potential votes. Let’s get this done and leave.” This is only conjecture on my part but that certainly is the message his visage and body language conveyed. Only our votes mattered in his relentless drive to

be re-elected. Although I went away unimpressed, I still had some faith because of his famed Red Book boldly outlining Liberal Party promises. I agreed with my wife Linda when she said, “if he puts them in writing, surely he means to follow through on them.” How naive we were. How easily deluded. Experiences like this have made me cautious, even sceptical, when listening to politicians, especially those who could soon be governing our nation. Does my lack of enchantment with political parties mean I won’t vote in the upcoming federal election? Certainly not. Does it mean I hold Angelique Wood accountable for the arrogance and failings of Jean Chretien and other politicians? Again, certainly not. I’m actually deeply impressed by the founders of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) precursor to the NDP. Before being elected to Parliament, J.S. Woodsworth was superintendent of the All Peoples Mission, working with the poor in Winnipeg. Later, in an address to Parliament he said, “the economy should be planned for public benefit rather than allowing businesses to gouge customers.” Pierre Berton referred to him as “the conscience of Canada.” On the provincial scene, in 1944 Tommy Douglas and the CCF won 47 of the 52 seats in the Saskatchewan legislature. According to Vincent Lam in his biography of Douglas, the

province at that time had the second highest provincial debt in Canada. The CCF, he says, recorded a surplus in each of its 17 years in power and steadily paid down the debt. Speaking at the 1983 NDP National Convention, Douglas said, “We are not just interested in getting votes. We are seeking people willing to dedicate their lives to building a different kind of society. A society founded on the principles of concern for human well being and human welfare.” Lam says “voters continued to elect the CCF in election after election, because they delivered what they promised.” Lam states further, “the need for a Universal Public Health Care program was a well used plank in the Liberal federal election platform since the early years of the 20th century, one that was never followed by action.” It is his opinion that Douglas and the CCF can take credit for having the commitment and political will to make universal health care a reality in Canada. I believe many Canadians long for politicians who will represent the wishes of the people to the leader, not the wishes of the leader to the people. With the Party Whip system, employed by the Big Three parties, this is difficult to achieve. It is for this reason I often vote Green. I do recognize that we need people of integrity, ability and vision to sit on the

Angelique Wood

benches of the governing party and the opposition. It is my opinion that Angelique Wood embodies some of the qualities and zeal of the party founders. Although I have never voted NDP and am troubled by their spending commitments, I do feel she established a strong track record in the RDOS. I may yet be persuaded to affix an x beside her name on election day.

There is no problem, there is no problem, there is no problem Over the recent holidays I was on the receiving end of my first – and hopefully only ever – intervention. It was mostly family members, but the conspiracy of coworkers was not difficult to discern. I poured a glass of wine, crossed my legs and folded my arms against my chest in a relaxed manner. Andrea – you have a problem with the thrift stores in Princeton. No idea how other interventions play out but mine shifted immediately to denial. Don’t be ridiculous. I do not have a problem with thrift stores. As an aside on the rare occasions when I’ve wondered if my life was intervention-worthy I always imagined it being about something else. My daughter – 21, and my first attempt at reproduction – clasped her hands together and leaned forward with an earnest expression and a sympathetic tone. Mom, how many pairs of cowboy boots do you own? I had no answer for that, literally, as I

We hit every hospital auxiliary and about expensive items, bragging about how

much you can afford to spend on a luxury. There are days I put together an entire thrift store outfit for less money than a value meal at a burger joint. There’s nothing wrong with being proud of that. My family, co-workers and friends see it a little bit differently. Mom, how many pairs of thrift store jeans have you bought that don’t actually fit you? There is a downside to raising a critical thinker. Mr. DeMeer chimed in. There are bags of thrift store clothes lining the hallway that you haven’t even opened yet. You are turning into a hoarder. A hoarder. I almost threw my wine in his face and made him repeat the word three times just to make sure I heard him correctly. They say the first step in solving a problem is admitting you have one. It’s a good thing my only problems are meddling family and friends.

HYDRANT SNOW REMOVAL Banking snow around, or over a fire hydrant creates problems for emergency fire crews. Blocking access, or reducing the visibility of hydrants increases the response time and could result in unnecessary property damage. Fire fighters have to be able to locate the hydrant, remove the caps and attach the fire hose as quickly as possible. These caps are removed using a hydrant wrench; a process that cannot be done quickly when there is a build-up of snow around the hydrant. Your cooperation in maintaining hydrant access is greatly appreciated.

2015 Meeting Schedule February 2

WINTER SNOW REMOVAL AND PARKING REGULATIONS It’s that time again and we would like to remind residents of winter snow removal regulations. The Town has a snow removal schedule that is based on a road priority system. Sanding and plowing begins on the main arterial roads, followed by collector roads, and then moves onto residential streets and lanes as necessary. Please assist our crew when they are plowing by not parking on streets during snow removal. During snow removal operations, plow operators cannot avoid leaving ridges of snow (called windrows) at the foot of driveways. Residents and business owners are responsible for clearing the windrow from their own driveways and entrances. Residents and businesses are responsible for removing snow and ice from sidewalks in front of their homes and businesses. Failure to do so can result in a fine of up to $100. Thank you for your cooperation in following these simple steps to ensure a safe winter season and remember, if you're out on the roads during a snowstorm, drive with caution and according to road conditions. Stay a safe distance from snow removal equipment. They need room to do the job safely! Thank you.

2015 BUSINESS LICENSE All businesses operating within the Town of Princeton are required to hold a valid business license. Business license renewal invoices have been mailed and are due upon receipt. Business license application forms are available at Town Hall, 151 Vermilion Avenue.

2015 DOG LICENSES 2015 Dog license fees can be paid at Town Hall at a cost of $10.00 for spayed or neutered animals and $30.00 for nonneutered or unspayed dogs. Town of Princeton Bylaw No. 782 regulates the licensing of dogs, and states that any dog over the age of eight weeks must wear a valid license for the current year. A fine of $75.00 will be charged for an unlicensed dog.

FIRST AID CLASSES The Town of Princeton offers a variety of Red Cross First Aid and recertification classes including the new Work Safe Emergency, Standard First Aid, Emergency Child Care and CPR/AED Training. Call the Recreation Office at 250-295-6067 to learn more.

BC puts millions more into mine inspection system By Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government is moving to restore confidence in its mine inspection system with a $6 million budget increase and a new office dedicated to overseeing major mines. Premier Christy

Clark announced the changes Monday at the annual B.C. Association for Mineral Exploration conference in Vancouver. The money comes from contingency funds in the current budget, and will be added to the base budget of the Ministry of Energy and

Mines for future years. Mine inspections have been under scrutiny since the collapse of the tailings dam at Mount Polley copper-gold mine near Williams Lake last summer. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett at first insisted that geo-

technical inspections of large B.C. mines were unaffected by budget cuts that reduced inspections of gravel mining and other operations, but Monday’s announcement tells a different story. “Since 2011, we’ve made signifi-

cant improvements to increase geotechnical inspections, hire additional staff and reduce the turnaround time for notice of work permits,” Bennett said in a statement after the premier’s announcement. NDP leader John Horgan said the premier’s announcement appears to be in preparation for what he expects will be “a very damning report” on the Mount Polley situation, which is subject to multiple investigations after the

earth dam around its tailings pond abruptly breached and released millions of tonnes of water and mine tailings. Horgan said it’s unusual for any government to fund essential work like mine inspections out of contingency funds, and he’s not convinced that it really has been happening. The government refused opposition calls to release all provincial mine inspection records, instead appointing an independent expert

panel to review the Mount Polley events. Bennett visited Alaska in November to reassure state officials and fishermen about B.C. mining oversight, after the province issued an environmental certificate to develop a major metal ore deposit near the Alaska border. The ministry expects to collect an extra $3 million a year from new fees collected from working mines.

Princeton’s snow is a reminder to count our blessings Merrilyn Huycke Artifacts

I have a morning ritual which involves a cup of coffee, maybe toast and definitely a bit of time (okay, quite a bit of time) on my iPad mini. I check weather and I don’t know why because I can’t do anything about it. Then I read my emails including my daily devotional. I send the necessary replies and then go to Facebook for the local news and the bits on things that folks find funny. I usually save the big news for last. By that time, I’m warmed up mentally and ready to roll. The other day, I was coming down the homestretch and had opened up the CBC app when lo and behold, a headline informed me that this particular day was named

the most depressing day of the year. That caught my attention. Up till that point, I was feeling fairly positive about life in general and the day in particular. What had I missed? Who decides these things I wondered. What in heaven’s name were they thinking? That tidbit of a downer got me going. After searching my heart for things to be depressed about, at least for a day, and finding nothing worth mentioning, the next day I thought that I would hit the streets and see if there had been a glitch in the rotation of the earth or if the sun truly had dissolved into the fog to be lost forever - some cosmic reason perhaps for the perceived gloom. Aside from a smattering of quiet grumbling about the regular morn-

SPOTLIGHT The Similkameen

ing fog from a few souls, I could not for the life of me pick up on more than the usual torpor of winter. Then it hit me. The poor demented author of the news item was writing from a big city where everything is grey in winter including the general mood. There is nothing to recommend about a city in winter. The only time it looks beautiful is right after a blizzard that has sent everyone home from work or school. Of course it’s lovely then because there is no one there to mess it up with traffic, at least not until the snow ploughs roll out and inflict noise and chaos on the whiteness and stillness. But that also means there is no one there to see the beauty of a pristine landscape. Yikes! A dilemma of epic proportions.

Well, as usual I’ve rambled off topic. Or maybe not. It just seems that it’s a shame to assume that any day of the year could be declared the most depressing day. There are blessings to be found whenever we are willing to be open to them. Tomorrow, if we get more of that marvellous hoarfrost on the trees, I’m going to take some spectacular photos to remind myself that there is beauty everywhere and that I choose to be blessed.

through sheer will and savvy. It’s like what happens when strangers get into a hot spring together. There is a friendliness and even intimacy that results from being half naked. Same thing happens when folks are up to their waist in snow.

In our little town of Princeton, a hefty snowfall is an occasion of much rejoicing for nearly everyone. We have a chance to grumble a bit but always there is a smidgen of glee, knowing that in a few years we will have a story to tell to unbelieving city folk or to wide eyed grandchildren. Grandchildren completely understand the pleasures of snow, by the way. It’s like they’re born with snow memory. The deeper the snow, the happier they are. They know how to build with it, slide on it and they even know about the yellow snow thing. Adults here in town get it too. I have heard stories of people surprising their neighbours by shovelling their driveways. I hear pride in the voices of first timers regaling friends with tales of getting unstuck

Naturalists record animal tracks on snowshoe hike Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists donned snowshoes on Saturday, January 17, to circumnavigate China Creek, aka Asp Creek, through the considerable amount of snow that now lies on the hillsides. Twelve members and guests (reduced to ten after awhile) were led by John Henry and Mary Masiel on a 4-hour trek that began at the cattle guard, took us up steep slopes that afforded fantastic views, and along a crest south of the creek. We stopped periodically to examine animal tracks, bear claw markings on tree trunks, and branches nibbled on by an assortment of animals. Moose tracks were prevalent, and other imprints of note were

made by a bobcat, coyotes, rabbits and deer. After a couple of hours of shoeing, we made our way down a lengthy incline to a spot beside the creek, where we enjoyed a short lunch break. A small fire and hot drinks kept us warm, and Peter’s shared smoked salmon vanished quickly! We then crossed the flowing creek (sans snowshoes), which was too wide to jump, but a few strategically placed rocks helped us maneuver to the other side. As we gradually climbed afresh to a higher elevation, we came across a largely intact cow skeleton and a coyote den. Our trek ended when we reached Airport Road, invigorated by outdoor exercise and good

company once again! Our next field trip will be held January 31, when Greg and Terry Tellier will lead us on a moderate snowshoe outing from the Osprey Lake forest service campground, across the lake and along historic Kettle Valley Railroad to artisans Bettina & Mark Wong’s 53 acre property. We’ll enjoy the views of Osprey Lake and the KVR trestle that can only be seen from there. Please join us to learn about the 100th anniversary of the KVR (1915-2015) and the accident of Oct. 7, 1955. Please confirm attendance with Greg or Terry at 295-7354, and meet at Billy’s Restaurant parking lot by 9:15 am.

The next snowshoe trek for the Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists will be January 31 beginning at Osprey Lake.
