Library users win battle to retain hours

Hats off to graduates

Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

Princeton residents have won their battle to keep their local library open 20 hours a week. Last week council announced it has reached an agreement with the Okanagan Regional Library to fund extra staff hours in order to keep the doors open. “It is a victory,” said councillor Rosemary Doughty, who is the municipality’s representative on the ORL. “It’s a win-win for Princeton to be sure.” The ORL agreed to finance current open hours for the balance of this year. Town council has committed an additional $10,330 for 2016 to maintain the service. Last fall, after a funding and service review of its 29 branches, the ORL indicated it would reduce open hours at the Princeton location to 15 from 20. The initiative was planned to shave $17,000 annually off the library’s operating budget, and help bridge the $61,327 gap between the yearly cost of running the library and the library tax collected. The ORL’s original position was that the service hour cuts were non-negotiable. Concern over the reduced hours resulted in a public meeting this spring where 50 people attended and voiced strong objections to any cuts in library service. “It was very upsetting,” said Doughty. “I’m not surprised people came out. The library is one of our core values. It supports so many programs and so many individuals and you can’t take away from that.” Don Nettleton, financial manager for the ORL, said under the new agreement, while the open hours will remain the same, there will be some reduction in staff hours. “It will be a little less staff hours but enough staff hours that we can keep it open 20 hours,” he told ...continued on Page 9

Sporting everything from dress shoes to runners and flip flops, a procession of future teachers, metal fabricators, tattoo artists, police officers, nurses and mechanics made its way across the stage Saturday at Princeton Secondary School’s 2015 commencement ceremonies. More than $31,000 in awards and bursaries was handed out to 34 graduating students in front of approximately 400 guests. Brynne Johnston was the top prize earner, receiving awards totaling $4050. Morgan Grigg earned $3,850 in prizes and Alex Burke received $3,000. Several dignitaries addressed the graduating class. Princeton Mayor Frank Armitage’s career advice to the group was to “pick a field you enjoy. You’d be amazed at how that works out and the money will look after itself.”

MP Alex Atamanenko brought greetings from the House of Commons, and suggested the graduates consider politics as a passion or an avocation. “I would strongly encourage you to take part in the coming federal election…There are people from all the political parties here who would love to have young people involved.” The retiring federal member did not rule an early career in politics for any of the graduates, noting he recently worked with an MP from Quebec who was elected at the tender age of 19. “I have always felt even when I was a teacher, and I firmly believe it now, that politics is a noble profession.” PSS English teacher Richard Jensen delivered a challenging commencement address. “I do not wish you a life of happiness. I wish you a life of purpose – the type of life when you leave this world it is not measured by a trail of belongings but by a legacy.” ...cont. on Page 12

Bursary keeps teen’s memory alive for 23 years Spotlight Staff

Michelle Webster never got the chance to graduate from high school. Yet for 23 years she has been remembered at each graduation ceremony held at Princeton Secondary School through a memorial bursary that recognizes students for all-round excellence. Michelle was killed in a single vehicle accident near the Princeton airport in 1992 at the age of 17. Her mother Sandra Weston finds real happiness in presenting the $500 award in her name. “It was hard at first. I couldn’t go up at first. It took about ten years,” Sandra recalled Saturday, after graduation ceremonies at PSS. “We had family members and friends do it…losing a child is the worst thing anyone can go through.” Sandra said eventually “you

find the strength. My faith and love keep me going and I need to be strong for my husband.” The Michelle Webster Memorial Bursary is funded entirely through donations, which were requested by the family in lieu of flowers when the teen was killed. “We are a longtime Princeton family and the com-

munity just gave us everything.” While that fund is now dwindling, Sandra said she is committed to continuing the tradition. The bursary “helps keep me going,” she said. “I’ve just seen the beauty in it, the benefit of donating to the young people.” Sandra, who is well-known in Princeton as a friendly face behind the checkout at Coopers Foods, remains connected to Michelle through her friends, and other young people she sees everyday. No fewer than five of Michelle’s high school classmates went on to name a daughter in memory of a vivacious friend. “She was beautiful,” said Sandra. “She was very athletic and she loved her sports and she loved her friends.” This year’s recipient of the Michelle Webster Memorial Bursary was Alex Burke.

Princeton water is not only good, it’s pretty cheap on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Huey said that while in the past the town has not had to enforce further summer water restrictions to conserve supply there are disquieting indicators that “this could be the year…this is atypical

Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

The update on Princeton water is as follows: It’s good, it’s cheap, and hopefully this summer we don’t run out. Last week council received its 2014 water quality report, indicating all local water tested in the past year fell within Canadian safe drinking guidelines. “We have a very, very good water source, we have a very good system and we have very good personnel looking after it,” said Kevin Huey, director of infrastructure, in an in interview with The Spotlight. “I certainly drink the water constantly and I love it.” In addition to delicious drinking water, Princeton ratepayers also enjoy an extremely low water rate, said Huey. If paid before the discount rate each household is charged $279 per year. “People tell me in other places people pay that in a month,” he said. “We have some of the lowest water rates, I would think in the province, but certainly in the area.” Low rates notwithstanding “we’ve been able to do system improvements and keep the system up and look at infrastructure.” In 2015 the town will spend approximately $145,000 in water system improvements including a new water main on Billiter Avenue and Hillside and a feasibility study on install-

because we had a very, very low below normal snow pack, and way below average rainfall, and above normal temperatures as well.” Huey said “we keep hearing the words ‘drought’ and ‘dry’, ‘drought’ and ‘dry’. I think in this era of con-

servation we do want people to be aware of water consumption and it should be looked at constantly.” Under the town’s water bylaw there is a minimum fine of $25 for breaching the current water restrictions. Huey said town office

staff are accustomed to taking complaints from residents about neighbours who disregard the rules. “I will say we do appreciate that…We do encourage people, in all fairness, to certainly contact the office and let us know if someone is abusing it.”

The yearly rate for water in Princeton is one of the cheapest in the area, if not the province, according to Kevin Huey.

ing a second well at the Tulameen well site. Huey said the latter project is integral to the town’s overall water strategy. “There’s only one well there currently and our concern would be if that pump happened to fail then that would be a loss of water supply. If we had another well then it would provide backup. With another well at the source that source could also supply the whole town if it needed to.” Water supply is something the town will monitor throughout the

summer, added Huey, along with residents’ compliance to annual water restrictions. Last year water usage in Princeton spiked to a high of 198,783 cubic metres in July, compared to a low of 78,724 cubic metres in November. Lawn watering restrictions in place over the summer prohibit watering on Mondays, and everyday between noon and 6 p.m. Even numbered civic addresses may water on Wednesdays, Friday and Sundays, while odd number addresses water

Consulting on distracted driving is a cop out

There is a growing body of evidence – a growing body count really – that distracted driving is one of the easiest ways to die in British Columbia. Why then is the provincial government seeking online consultation, gathering public input on whether or not the penalties for driving while talking on the phone, or texting or watching videos, should be increased? If a law needs to be changed to reflect the seriousness of an offense, or in the interests of public safety (and in the case of distracted driving if the government doesn’t see that need it’s just stupid) it’s the government’s job to change the law. Period. The province should not be wasting time and taxpayer dollars conducting opinion polls, as if trying to weigh the popularity of tough legislation or measure its potential for political loss or gain. People are dying, while BC carries on with the second lowest distracted driving fines in the country and voters effectively are having their temperatures taken. Distracted driving kills far more people in British Columbia than impaired driving – 81 compared to 55 in 2013, yet driving while on the phone costs a person a $167 fine and the penalty for emailing and texting is $167 plus three demerit points. Penalties of course for impaired driving range from stiff fines to jail time – considerable incarceration if someone is guilty of impaired driving causing death under the Criminal Code. To the young girl who is dead it doesn’t matter what impaired the attention and skills of the driver who killed her – a text message or two beers over the limit. Dead is dead. The problem of distracted driving is overwhelming in scope. RCMP have written more than 200,000 tickets for the offense since 2010 and according to ICBC 34 per cent of young drivers involved in crashes resulting in injuries or deaths in the past five years were distracted by a smart phone or similar device. In a survey recently released by Telus one third of smart phone users admitted to driving while using their device. Distracted driving is a cultural norm. People might acknowledge it’s dangerous, but it is accepted, the way impaired driving was just a few decades ago as one of those risks it’s okay to take. Yes, the penalties for distracted driving should be harsher. The fines should be higher, and repeat offenders should face vehicle seizures and driving prohibitions. Young drivers in the graduated licensing program – those drivers who really do believe they are invincible – should automatically lose driving privileges for a distracted driving offense. These laws should be developed with the insight of police associations in the province, not by seeking the opinions of a population which freely admits its guilty as charged. At the same time there needs to be more education about the dangers of distracted driving, about the deaths. Public awareness campaigns were crucial in changing the way society felt about drinking and driving. People are dying – so let’s get on with changing minds, putting the law behind what is right, and saving lives. – AD PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY Annual subscription: $35.24 locally, $54.29 elsewhere in Canada.

MLA proves to be compassionate and candid off-stage Art Martens living significantly.ca

My purpose in meeting with MLA Linda Larson was to get a glimpse of who she is off the “political stage.” Having a slice of my wife’s homemade brown bread with cheese, she appeared relaxed as she spoke about her early years and present political life. “In my childhood, mom struggled to put food on the table,” she said. “She baked bread. We had butter every 2 to 3 months. Other kids at school wore store bought clothes. My mom made mine.” She now values this experience, believing it gives her greater understanding in her role as Parliamentary Secretary for Accessibility. “You have to have struggled to understand people who are struggling.” Linda met her husband when he came into the store in Powell River where she was a sales clerk. After marriage in 1970 they lived in several locations, then moved to Oliver in 1989. Commenting on their daughters, Marnie, Lynnet and Donna. she said, “In their teens, the girls were a handful,” she recalled with just the trace of a smile. “Sometimes I didn’t think I would live. But they’re all doing well. They’ve given me four grandchildren.” For six years she was a stay-at-home mom and her husband, a Mountie, initially earned

only $350 per month. Finances were tight. Their first home was a mobile, bought for $7,000. Her grandfather gave them $1,000 to make this possible. In spite of present success, Linda has not forgotten what it’s like to raise a family on a meager income. She became an airline attendant with Pacific Airlines, working out of Vancouver. She also managed a large territory for Avon. “For nearly six months my husband was very ill. It was important for me to have an income.” In time she and her husband acquired a small business, Eastside Grocery, in Oliver. “It was long hours, seven days a week.” When she became aware of unsettling decisions and practices at city hall, she decided to let her name stand for council in 1996. Before the election she was persuaded to run instead for the position of mayor. “I didn’t have a clue about being mayor,” she admits, smiling. “I was totally amazed when I was elected.” Now she enjoys the memory of “the fabulous people I met. I got to attend 100 year birthday celebrations.” Another smile. Her nine years in the mayor’s chair evidently convinced a lot of people she would represent them well in the provincial legislature. She values the various earlier roles because they gave her experience with peo-

ple. Looking back reflectively, she paused, then said, “everything I did prepared me for what I’m doing now.” In the realm of politics, she is pleased with the number of women her party has attracted. “We’ve made huge strides in that. I’d like to see us find more effective ways of also encouraging young people to participate in politics.” When I asked what is satisfying, she replied, “I enjoy meeting with small groups, like the coffee time at the Hedley Seniors’ Centre this morning.” She had arrived there at 7 a.m. The annual prayer breakfast is also a positive for her and she appreciates the encouraging notes that follow. “Meeting people is one of the nicest things I do.” The small wins that help individuals and communities provide a sense of accomplishment. The installation of a sidewalk in Kaleden is an example. Experience has convinced Linda most people are positive and constructive. However, a note of regret crept into her voice. “Unfortunately, the negative ones are noisy. Some attack me personally. It’s harder to stay on track then. I don’t respond to them. It only perpetuates their destructiveness.” Linda spends about six months in Victoria, coming home Thursday evening and return-

ing Sunday night. She says her husband makes her schedule possible. “My mom has lived with us 12 years. She is 94 and is falling more,” she said. “When I’m away he takes her to appointments and prepares her evening meal. Tonight I’ll take her out for dinner. I couldn’t do what I’m doing without my husband’s help.” In this “off stage” conversation, I found Linda Larson to be surprisingly candid and compassionate. I hope the often-harsh world of politics will permit her to speak and vote according to the sound values I believe she exemplifies.

To clap or not to clap – it really causes a lot of stress Clapping is such a stressful ritual. This can be observed at any event, any ceremony or conference when people are honored, invited to speak, or are in some way recognized. It was apparent during the weekend’s graduate exercises at Princeton Secondary School. Someone is introduced to the audience and called to the podium. An awkward silence ensues. Do we clap now? Or do we clap when he is done speaking? Do we clap twice? Even when there are expressed rules about when to clap, and when not to clap, people get it wrong. Three weeks ago in Mississippi a school superintendent with serious control issues pressed charges of disturbing the peace against four guests at a high school commencement for cheering and clapping at the wrong time. He had asked the crowd to hold applause until all the graduates had received their diplomas. The renegade clappers were ejected from the ceremony and the police were called. On the subject of control issues it is sometimes fun to sit in an audience and

lead the crowd. Since clapping signal approval for a speech etiquette is so misunderstood, or performance. In some times most people are happy – even and cultures clapping was actually a paid job.

a graduation, I have come close to being escorted from the side of a soccer field and on occasion have been asked to tone it down by coaches, referees and offspring alike. Cheering is fun. It feels good and it makes other people feel good. After one sporting event Mr. DeMeer remarked, somewhat unkindly, that I am a competitive cheerer. I want to be louder and more enthusiastic than anyone else in the stands. Many years ago at an elementary track and field meet I was in fine cheering and clapping form, encouraging not only my own boys – who were trying mightily to pretend they didn’t know me – but all the kids from our hometown. Towards the end of the day I was standing sore-throated near the finish line and a young girl from another school tugged on my spirit wear. Her sister was racing in the 100 metre final and she asked very hesitantly if I wouldn’t mind cheering for her. I looked down, considered asking the kid for a quarter, and then decided what the heck. The child obvioulsy new a gold-medal cheerer when she saw one. And I cheered.

Another call to reverse costly zoning changes

Princeton WWII veterans were honored on June 6 with the presentation of awards from the government of Canada. The award was presented to (L to R) Bill Cromanty, Herb Gilligan, Cathie Orser and Joe McNeil. Back row, Comardes Robert, Ron, Al, Jim and Wayne.

Princeton lovers sad to leave To the editor Bill and I fell in love with Princeton in the 1980s, the views of hillsides and mountains, wild flower meadows, wildlife and of course the people. Oh how we enjoyed the tales of the oldtimers, the homemade goodies passed over the fence, the ‘hey neighbor let me give you a hand with that, the good mornings and chats while on a walk. The way the merchants and service people would go out of their way to help you, be it just an item, project or crisis and how our medical and dental staff looked after us, so we could enjoy all this good life. We watched each other’s children grow up and the joys of grandchildren being born. We’ve shared the good times and bad times and have met a lot of wonderful people who we consider as our family.

To the editor Commercial property owners in the OCP affected areas have seen a reduction in the value of up to 85 per cent due to zoning changes which converted commercial to residential. While legal, these changes are not ethical nor were they done in the best interest of the future development of Princeton. Property owners were not notified directly of the pending changes, but the change was advertised in the local press. Again, while legal is this ethical when dealing with such a substantial change? How can council justify this? Many owners, like me, missed this notification as we are not full time residents of Princeton and do not subscribe to the local papers. I did not realize that this was the only vehicle that would be used to convey this substantial and dramatic devaluation

of my property, which I am proud to own. The properties in the affected areas are directly responsible for the employment for hundreds of your neighbours and friends, and the growth of Princeton. I understand that there was substantial investment made by the town in a commercially zoned subdivision on top of the hill. But it should not be existing commercial property owners who should suffer the consequences of this planning option. This move by town council sends the worst possible message to any potential investors considering involvement in our community. This decision must be reversed. Hoss Budde Princeton

This is why our moving on is with such heavy hearts. We thank you Princeton for all the wonderful memories.

Never goodbye – just hugs and see you all later. Bill and Doris Whiting.

Everyone should be able to enjoy dike To the editor Kudos to Ms. Green for doing the research regarding the dikes in Princeton. Once the dikes were improved in the 1980s homeowners along the dike immediately claimed the extra land as theirs. One person did it and everyone followed suit, and nothing was done to stop it. When we arrived in Princeton in 1980 we were able to walk along these dikes without any hindrance. The complaint that homeowners had was the noise created by motorized users, trail bikes in summer and snowmobiles in winter. That problem could have been resolved then, but no action was taken. Now it appears that these homeowners have no legal right to encroach on the dike because of the Riparian Act. All are in violation of that act. The most reasonable and civic thing to do is removal of the obstructions, and for homeowners to build fences to separate their property from the dike. The town also has a responsibility and that is to place restrictions on motorized users, no trail bikes, no ATVs and no snowmobiles. Everyone is entitled to enjoy their backyard free from noise pollution! Let’s make Princeton attractive for both visitors and residents by providing a public trail along the river where everyone can enjoy the natural beauty of our town. Sincerely M. Masiel

More self check out stations for library

continued from page one the Spotlight in an interview. The library currently employs one part time librarian and two part time assistants and there will be more open hours with only one staff person working. “It will be harder on staff because they will be busier,” he said. The ORL will install additional self-check out stations to ease some of that burden, he added. Nettleton said the board is “exercising a fair bit of patience” as it conducts similar negotiations in other branches in the region. “I think every community really values their library so nobody wants to see less service. In an ideal world we would be giving more service everywhere.”

A Princeton team took part recently in the 5k Foam Fest at Vernon BC’s Silver Star Mountain Resort. The event raises money for Habitat for Humanity and the Canadian Cancer Society and offers participants a race that includes about 20 obstacles. Pictured are Tonya Chypyha, Erin Williams, Marlee Rice, Jessica Gunn, Melissa Gibson, Laura Shales and Crystal Groves and Ashley Harry.

Historic Brigade Trail to receive $20k from Area H Trust Tara Bowie Spotlight Staff

A recently approved $20,000 grant means the area is on the trail of resurrecting history. Bob Coyne, Area H director, brought forward the large funding request at a Similkameen Valley Planning Society meeting last week. The money, which will come from Area H’s trust account, was approved and will be used to complete the revitalization of the last portion of the Hudson’s Bay Company Heritage Brigade Trail that runs between Hope and Tulameen. About 22 kilometres of the trail is located in Area H. “This is a very significant trail in British Columbia’s history in the way that without it we would probably be under the US flag today,” Coyne said. The trail was used by the iconic Hudson Bay Company for about 11 years from 1849 to 1860. When the international boundary of the 49th parallel was determined in 1846, British fur traders were blocked from using existing forts on the Columbia River. In 1848 an HBC surveyor named Henry Peers and 10 men built a trading post at Fort Hope while also building the Brigade Trail. The Brigade Trail

spanned from Fort Hope to Fort Kamloops through the Cascade Mountains. After a disastrous year when 70 packhorses died while trying to negotiate the deadly Fraser Canyon, the push was on to have the trail ready by spring 1849 to enable HBC furs from the BC Interior to reach the Coast. Local First Nations people helped build the trail, which they had used as a route for hunting and trade. “It’s a huge significance to the entire area because of how it opened up the valley,” Coyne said. For the last five years, the Hope Mountain Centre has taken the lead on the project. During that time restoration has been completed from the west end of the trail to the eastern portion that resides in Area H. About 55 kilometres of the trail are presently restored and marked from Peers Creek to Tulameen Plateau. The remaining portion is expected to be complete by the end of 2015. In addition to trail clearing, three new backcountry camps equipped with bear-safe storage will be constructed. Trail interpretive kiosks and directional signs will be installed at key locations. Money put forward by Area H is being matched by the National Trail Coalition, Recreation Sites, Trails BC and private donors.

Smart meter installation nearly complete Spotlight Staff

By the end of this week, Princeton and area homes will all have their new smart meters. Michael Allison, Fortis BC spokesperson, said installation in the Princeton, Coalmont and Hedley region – which affects about 4,500 customers – began June 8th and is within days of completion. Allison said he is unaware of any complaints to Fortis from the Princeton area as a result of the switch to smart meters, or

advanced meters. “The vast majority of customers are happy with the meter and it’s great. Most customers recognize that there are benefits and they are going to see tangible results with this. There are some people who do have some health concerns but we want to ensure that people aren’t overly concerned. We were regulated to provide the service and everything we do is of course safe and falls within health standards.” In total Fortis BC is replacing

130,000 meters in its service area with smart meters at a cost of $51 million. The meters create efficiencies that will see net savings of $13 million over their 20-year-life span, he said. Allison cited some of the biggest advantages to the smart meters are they will eliminate billing estimates and will allow the utility company to respond quicker in cases of power outages.

“It seems like only yesterday we were skinny little freshmen” continued from page one He admonished the graduates to read good books “and stop wasting time and opportunity worrying about what people are thinking of you.” Jensen reminded the class that each person has to work hard before enjoying success. “The pot of gold is at the end of the rainbow. You cannot cash in at the beginning of the rainbow or in the middle.” The popular teacher promised graduates the support of the community. “Say what you want about Princeton, and I know there are some of you who can’t wait to get out of here. Look around you. This room is full of people who are in your corner.” The graduating class selected Brooke Kassa as its valedictorian. Kassa marveled at how quickly the high school years passed. “It seems like only yesterday we were skinny little freshman…We began high school as children and now we leave as young adults.” Kassa amused the audience with a selection of quotes from Bill Gates including: “Be nice to nerds. Chances are you will end up working for one.” She predicted that her friends who are planning to move or proceeding to post secondary education would eventually find their ways home to be the next generation of professionals and parents in the town of Princeton. “Princeton isn’t going anywhere,” she concluded. Graduation ceremonies were capped with the traditional downtown parade, first dance with parents in Veteran’s Square, and prom

celebrations at Riverside Centre. A list of all award winners from Saturday’s graduation follows: $500 Ambassadors bursary in memory of Katie Norman and Michelle Webster – Alex Burke $250 Award from Cupe 847 – Kyla Coyne and Kennady Holland-Krenn $1,000 Ruby Cappos Memorial Bursary – Brynn Johnson $1,000 Dogwood District Authority Awards – Brynn Johnson, Mort Johnson, Morgan Grigg, Shaylyn Douglas, Brooke Bottcher, Ryan Grgich, Alex Burke, Justeen Macintosh $1,000 Dot Raine Memorial Bursary – Alex Burke $500 Garden Club Bursary – Morgan Grigg $1,000 George Pearkes Royal Canadian Legion Award – Morgan Grigg and Shaylyn Douglas $350 George Pearkes Royal Canadian Legion Ladies Auxiliary Award ≠ Brooke Kassa and Morgan Grigg $500 Grad Legacy – Marley Thair $500 Knights of Columbus Award – Mort Johnson $100 Jennifer Shaun Cusworth Memorial Bursary – Alley Marshall $500 Michelle Webster Memorial Scholarship – Alex Burke $750 Nicola-Similkameen Principals’ and Vice-Principals’ scholarship – Brynn Johnson $2,000 Princeton District Teachers Union Award – Brynn Johnson

Naturalists invite public to Vortex Station hike Thirteen Vermilion Fork Field Naturalists met thirteen like-minded people from the Osprey Lake area and together they had a good time doing the 2 km hike to Secret Lake, using the Blue Flag Trail that Mark Wong and the Telliers flagged out. The hike began with an explanation from Mark on what had occurred in this area. A private group logged the vicinity leaving it in a sad state. A group of people then bought the land with the intention of bringing it back to its natural state. Their first job was to clear the mess that was left behind and then plant trees. In this endeavour Weyerheuser proved to be very helpful by donating thousands of tree seedlings. This new tree growth is every evident at the site. Leaving the newly planted zone, we walked through a wooded

area, stopped, admired, and identified wildflowers, amongst them the beautiful Tiger Lily. A hawk circled high in the sky on a day that was just perfect for walking. Secret Lake proved to be a special spot. At one end was a beaver lodge and the surface of the water glistened with lily pads, much appreciated by Barrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Golden-eyed Ducks, a turtle that came into view, and a small frog capture by our young naturalist, Karlie Sellmer, for us to admire, then released into the water. We also found a sandpiperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nest with 4 beautiful eggs. VFFN meetings resume on Sept. 8, 2015 but our next outing is June 27th to Vortex Station and Agate Mountain Lookout. Confirm with Tip Anderson (250-2953369); meet @Billyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s @10:00; bring drink and lunch. Join us.

CAPRICORN: Capricorn, honor all of your commitments in the coming days. Recognize others are counting on you and do your best to live up to their expectations. AQUARIUS: Aquarius, give a minor financial issue the attention it deserves. It’s better to nip it in the bud early on so the situation does not escalate. Take responsibility for the problem. PISCES: Pisces, avoid distractions as you look to resolve an issue that has been tough to handle. Try to clear your head before making decisions. ARIES: Aries, make note of any and all thoughts that pop into your head this week. Even your more quirky ideas may amount to something that brings big success. TAURUS: Taurus, play things close to the vest this week. Certain projects are up in the air, and you may need to more closely examine each situation before suggesting a course of action. GEMINI: It can be tough to stay on track this week, Gemini. It’s hard to focus on work even for short periods of time. Try to maintain your productivity amidst the distractions. CANCER: Cancer, if you have any free time this week, sneak off to a quiet place and daydream for a little while. Some of your most inspiring ideas have come at the most unexpected moments. LEO: The line between fact and fantasy can be a bit blurry this week, Leo. You may be pulled in different directions, but try to maintain your focus. VIRGO: Virgo, rather than looking at things on the surface, dig a little deeper to try to find more profound meanings. You may unearth several interesting patterns. LIBRA: Libra, you may feel as though you are in unfamiliar surroundings this week. Don’t get too scared, as this break from the norm might provide a little extra hop in your step. SCORPIO: Recognize the potential for magic wherever you go this week, Scorpio. You have the ability to see beauty where others only see blemishes. Turn others on to your way of thinking. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, encourage family members to gather in the coming days. Planning a day or evening with those you love most is a great way to escape the daily grind. FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY

Graduation 2015 Wednesday June 24, 2015 Similkameen Spotlight

Graduation students from Princeton Secondary School, the class of 2015, had a full day Saturday that included a two-hour commencement ceremony, a tea in the school’s courtyard, and some quick costume changes to get ready for group photos by the Bridge of Dreams. Graduates then paraded through town in a long line of classic cars, before meeting their families and friends in Veteran’s Square for the traditional dance. It was then off to prom at the Riverside Centre before Dry Grad events. In years to come one of the outstanding memories of the day will surely be the number of grasshoppers the graduating girls had to shake out of their dresses after this photo was taken near the river.

The youngest guest at Princeton grad 2015 was three-weekold Roman, who was dressed in his finest to help Mom Jessie Williams celebrate the big day. Williams received cheers durInez Herrick was one proud lady Saturday as she took to the dance ing commencement ceremonies when her goals of “marrying the love of my life”, Rocky Leong, and “being a great Mom” floor in Veteran’s Square with her great grandson Brett Herrick. were read aloud.

As you celebrate your graduation, remember that anything is possible with hard work, integrity and perseverance. May the education and experience of your high school days serve you well in the years ahead, as you pursue new goals and your dreams for the future.

Good luck and congratulations!

No one graduating from PSS could claim they don’t know what it feels like to have to greet the paparazzi. Hundreds of people gathered in Veteran’s Square Saturday evening to take part in the traditional first dances and it seemed like everyone had at least one camera. Below, the graduates pose in their finery.

We wish the grads of 2015 the very best in their future endeavors!
