Similkameen Spotlight, June 04, 2014

As a way of giving back to those who helped her family, Shannon White of Princeton initi-ated a fundraiser to raise funds for BC Children’s Hospital.

Due to the generosity of local individuals and businesses the fundraiser included the chance for those who donated to win prizes.

On Saturday, May 31 just before she was to leave for the Miracle Weekend on Global televi-sion, Shannon stopped in at Valley First Credit Union to choose the winners.

As of Saturday, funds raised for B.C. Children’s Hospital amounted to $5076.89. The online donations and donations made during Shannon’s participation during Miracle Weekend have yet to be totalled.

A very excited Cayden, (Shannon’s five year old grandson) said, “we’re giving prizes to help the kids to feel better!”

With that statement, Shannon, assisted by Leslie Edwards and Cayden, went on to draw the prize winners.

The Crimson Tine Players’ performance of Thornton Wilder’s Our Town was presented at the Riverside Centre May 29 to 31st.

This production showcased Princeton’s impressive diver-sity of talent.

Set in turn-of-the-century New England, the performance sets up the audience to create for themselves, their own image of Grover’s Corners. The original script was written with few props and a nearly bare stage.

The ladder scene was especially poignant in its simplicity.The ladders, being the hallmark of the play, leave the audi-

ence to engage their imaginations in order to visualize each scene.

The uncluttered stage was off-set by the complexity of those who reside in Grover’s Corners - their ups, their downs, their laughter and their tears.

All three acts are narrated by the ever-present, dapper, watch-fob-vested frontman, Derek Hodgson, the stage man-ager (and wedding minister). Hodgson’s character walks you through each scene, detailing the very essence of the play, bringing the production together as a whole.

As the play progresses, the audience continues to get the gist of what this unassuming little town is experiencing, delv-ing into it’s daily lives and eventual future.

‘Our Town’ comes to our townPrinceton’s Crimson Tine Players entertained the town with Thornton Wilder’s Our Town at the Riverside Centre Theatre on May 29 through 31. The play is set in turn-of-the-century Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire, depicting the daily lives of a small town.

The Robinson Memorial derby was held on May 24 at Ludwick Lake. Despite wind and cool whether, everyone had a good time. A minute of silence was held for Keith and Rick before the prizes were awarded.

The winners were: Marlene Robinson for the Biggest Fish trophy. For the Most Weight (2 fish weighed in) were: 1st - Marlene Robinson, 2nd - Justin Robinson, and 3rd - Clifford Robinson.

Actually, we had other fishermen besides the Robinson’s, but they seemed to find the hot spot and hot hook that day.

The Family prize-Fly Rod combo package was Kim Herzig. Hidden Weights: a framed print, which was donated by Cliff and Marlene Robinson, was won by Ed White. A fly rod, donated by Hatch Match’r Fly shop in Maple

Ridge, was won by Noel Ashley. The 50/50 draw was won by Butch Ashley and

the cooler raffle, by Cliff Lindley.All participants got prizes from the prize table

by random ticket draws. The Robinson family would like to thank

everyone who attended and helped out.Thanks to Otter Valley Fish & Game club,

Anne and Ron Jones, Match’r Fly shop and Ruth at the liquor store for the donations. Altogether it made for a great day.

See you all next year.Come on out and enjoy the Pike Mountain

Derby on June 7 and 8. Watch for posters around town, done by Charlene Anderson’s grade 7 class at Vermilion Forks Elementary School.

Great day for Robinson Memorial Derby

The Copper Mountain family bids farewell to one of their own

Courtesy of Donna RossumGroup photo of derby participants. Winner for the third time was Marlene Robinson ( Keith’s daughter inlaw ) 2nd place was his grandson Justin Robinson and 3rd place went to his son Cliff Robinson.

A young father was persistent and determined to acquire a good job to support his family. He made trip after trip to the Similco Mine, only to be constantly told there was no work.

Not giving up, Art Pratico bundled up his young son Rick and went to visit the mine man-ager at his home. Art told the manager that he was mature and that he (the manager) would not regret hiring him.

Art was hired as a labourer soon after. That was in 1972 and he was 23 years old.

Art continued to work at Similco, working his way up through the ranks while he and his wife Linda raised their two children; Rick and Shelly.

In 1988 with the closure of Similco, the compa-ny whisked Art and family away to Houston, B.C. where Art continued his career with Huckleberry Mines, eventually working his way to manage-ment.

When Art heard about Copper Mountain opening in Princeton—he wanted to come back in the worst way. In 2010 he and Linda returned to home Princeton where Art worked as Mine Operations manager until shortly before his pass-ing on January 13 of this year.

Co-worker and friend of 25 years, Bill Van Damme gave the eulogy at the Celebration of Life held May 24 at River’s Edge R.V. Park.

He spoke of Art’s dedication to mining, of how Art made sure you had fun while you were working, his determination to get things done and how he made the best of every opportunity. “It was amazing to watch Art work,” he said, “Art created relationships with people - it’s how he got things done.”

Chief Executive Officer, Jim O’Rourke pre-sented Linda with a photo of Art (above) on

behalf of the Copper Mountain family. “Art was a fantastic man who contributed to our Copper Mountain family,” he said.

The Celebration of Life was organized by Linda Low, Bill Van Damme and Jim O’Rourke, members of Art’s Copper Mountain family.

Art’s family expressed their appreciation to Copper Mountain, Dinny & Beryl Mullin,the Kal Tire and Site Services crews, all the volunteers for their help and to everyone for the kindness expressed.

Art’s grandaughter, Ashley, gave everyone present a reminder of what is truly important.

Nov. 1, 1949 - Jan. 13, 2014 “What matters most is the dash between those

years. Those who loved him know what that dash is worth,” she said.


Art Pratico is survived by Linda his wife of 45 years, son Rick (Eva), daughter Shelly (John), grandchildren; Ashley, Bailey, Amy, John and Lily; sisters Kathy, Linda and June and brother Frank. Numerous other relatives, friends and (second family) members from Copper Mountain and Huckleberry Mines will hold Art in their hearts.

Kelowna, B.C. - As part of a strategic part-nership with the province, TELUS has invested $675,000 to build a wireless site serving the Twin Lakes area of Highway 3A. Built near Marron Valley Road and Marron Lake, the new site pro-vides coverage to approximately 14 kilometres of Hwy 3A as well as parts of Trout Lake, Marron Valley and part of Twin Lake Road.

“At TELUS, we are committed to investing in wireless infrastructure in rural areas to bring advanced wireless service to even more British Columbians,” said Steven Jenkins, TELUS gen-eral manager for the Southern Interior. “Our significant investment in this new wireless site gives residents, businesses and travelers through the Twin Lakes area improved wireless reception to make hands-free wireless calls, expands access to 911, and enables access to the world’s fastest wireless broadband technology where it may not be possible to build wired Internet access.”

The project is part of the 10-year Connecting British Columbia Agreement signed with the Province of B.C. in 2011. Under the terms of the agreement TELUS will invest to connect more than 1,700 kilometres of unconnected highways with wireless service.

“This $675,000 investment to bring wire-less service to Highway 3A from Keremeos to Kaleden is great news for our communi-

ties,” said Linda Larson, MLA for Boundary ?Similkameen. “This greater access will improve safety and accessibility along this stretch of highway.”

TELUS is investing $2.8 billion in new infra-structure and facilities across B.C. through 2016. The company will invest $1.2 billion across the province in 2014, the final year of a three-year plan unveiled in 2012, and is committed to spend another $1.6 billion in 2015 and 2016 to build infrastructure, expand urban and rural Internet connectivity and capacity, and bring the world’s fastest wireless technology to more B.C. commu-nities. By the end of 2016, TELUS’ investment in operations, infrastructure and technology across B.C. since 2000 will exceed $40 billion.

In support of our philosophy to give where we live, TELUS, our team members and retirees have contributed more than $350 million to charitable and not-for-profit organizations and volunteered 5.4 million hours of service to local communities since 2000. TELUS was honoured to be named the most outstanding philanthropic corporation globally for 2010 by the Association of Fundraising Professionals, becoming the first Canadian company to receive this prestigious international recognition.

With the provincial government still refus-ing to put the necessary funding on the table to reach a reasonable deal on issues like class size, composition, staffing levels, and fair wages for teachers, the BC Teachers’ Federation will continue rotating strikes next week, said BCTF president, Jim Iker. The rotating strikes will occur on four days this week; Monday, June 2, Tuesday, June 3, Thursday, June 5, and Friday, June 6. Every school district will be closed down for another full day. “BC teachers are commit-ted to negotiating a fair and reasonable settle-ment at the bargaining table,” said Iker. “That agreement, however, needs to include adequate funding to make improvements to important learning conditions, which are teachers’ working conditions. It’s time for Premier Christy Clark to free up the resources that will bring the two sides closer together and ensure students start the next school year with smaller classes, more support for children with special needs, and extra one-

on-one time. “We also expect the government to be flex-

ible on their wage demands and show some good faith and willingness to move. Teachers know that bargaining is about compromise, but we cannot be the only ones expected to move. Collective bargaining is about compromise and moving forwards, not backwards.” Iker also thanked parents for their ongoing understanding and support. “The reaction on the picket lines has been fantastic,” said Iker. “Parents know that we are working to improve the education system for their children. I also want to thank BC’s teachers who have remained so professional and committed to their students despite Christy Clark’s ill-conceived, confusing, and chaotic lockout that was drummed up to justify her attack on our wages. BC teachers have showed incredible strength and resolve to achieve a fair deal for ourselves and better support for our students.”

VICTORIA – The B.C. Liberal government’s bill to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones has passed, after one of the nastier exchanges I’ve seen in a decade covering the B.C. legislature.

“You’re all a bunch of corrupt liars,” NDP agriculture critic Nicholas Simons yelled as the government cut off a long and mostly repetitious debate that dominated the final days of the legislature session.

Not to be outdone, cabinet minister Bill Bennett replied to Simons’ heckle about Kootenay rancher Faye Street, one of Bennett’s most vocal supporters as he pushed through changes to the land reserve to ease land use restrictions in rural zones.

Bennett advised Simons to offer his remarks to Street in person. “She’ll kick your ass,” Bennett said.

The on-the-record debate wasn’t much better. Columbia River-Revelstoke NDP MLA Norm Macdonald summed up his party’s biggest objection with his charge that “a bunch of Liberal political hacks” will be appointed to regional panels of the Agricultural Land Commission.

The government’s scheme, Macdonald and other NDP critics predicted, is to unleash a flood of ALR land remov-als, to enrich B.C. Liberal supporters by allowing development on productive farmland.

That might be a valid concern, but there are a couple of factual problems. First, every appointment to the ALC, at the regional or provincial level, is made by the B.C. government. It’s been that way since the Dave Barrett administration set it up in 1973.

Second, the regional panels are not new. The B.C. Liberals imposed them in 2003. If this was their method of corrupting the process to dismantle the ALR, that would have largely happened in the years since. Surely by this time they would have found enough greedy political hacks who hate farming to subvert the process.

I’ve written before about the legitimate concerns of places like

Merritt and Vanderhoof and Dawson Creek, where some ALR rules and decisions simply don’t make sense.

Strict secondary residence rules are needed in areas with non-farm development pressure. In most rural areas, they are a mistake, and are frequently ignored.

The debate wasn’t entirely devoid of honesty and civility. Macdonald interrupted his string of baseless accusations to note that under the current system, 75 per cent of exclusion applica-

tions in the Kootenay region are approved. If that’s the case, what is really broken that needs to be fixed? It’s a good question that the government did not adequately answer.

And credit also goes to the new agriculture min-ister, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, who inherited a public relations mess left by the brief and boneheaded performance of Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm.

Braving the heckling at the end, Letnick put aside his partisan talking points and gave his personal assurance that the government’s intention is to sup-port farming in those places where non-farm income is the only thing that keeps people on the land.

As soon as the theatrics had died down, the B.C. NDP sent out a fundraising plea to its members to help “save” the ALR. The party is broke and desperate after losing its fourth straight election, and it hopes to activate its declining donor base by portraying the changes as the imminent slaughter of its most sacred cow.

Voters have three years before the next election to assess this situ-ation. If there is a flood of exclusions of prime agricultural land, then the NDP will be able to make its case that its warnings were at least partially true.

If this does not take place, then the government’s position will be vindicated. We’ll find out the truth.

Busy bees or pot stirrers?

BC ViewsTOM FLETCHER

SpotlightOPINION

Well folks, I’ve been presented with another issue to comment on—last week’s vandalism and now this week—rumours!

The rumour issue was brought to light this past week when a woman entered the Spotlight office, with a bee in her bonnet about the mayor and council for not proclaiming May 29 as “Day of the Honey Bee”

She wanted to know why council turned down the request and... how dare they say that it wasn’t an important issue!

HOLY SMOKES... WHOA! Knowing that she was not present at the last

council meeting (because I was there), I asked her where she had heard this and she said, “I was told.”

I advised her that she had been misinformed, that council had received and filed the proclamation request and that they had in no way stated that the situation with respect to the Honey Bee was not an important issue.

I let this woman know that council had made the decision to receive and file the proclamation request because as a council, they want proclamations to have substance—something they, as a council, can do something about.

For instance, during that same council meeting, they had proclaimed June 7 to be “Access Awareness Day in Princeton.” On this day in past years, mem-bers of council have taken to the streets of Princeton in wheelchairs with the Accessibility Awareness Committee to help determine areas in need of better accessibility.

I also explained that council receives numer-ous requests for proclamations each month with requests for a this day and that day and as Councillor Harkness explained during the meeting, “last year there weren’t that many bluebirds around either and next time the request will be for a Bluebird Day... it gets to be a bit much at times.”

Throughout our conversation the woman became much calmer and a little more understanding of council’s position. I on the other hand—was mad as a hornet.

This woman was obviously a victim of the ever-grinding rumour mill that rears it’s ugly head more often than not. A busy bee or a pot stirrer—if you will, told this woman only what they had wanted her to hear and she ran with it.

A rumour is described as (gossip or hearsay)— often a combination of truth and untruth and is more often malicious fabrication, usually about the behavior of other people, or should I say, what they’ve heard about so and so, which, of course snow-balls into something unkind and certainly untrue - completely lacking in factual information (hearsay).

The fact that I had to explain this situation really angered me because, quite frankly, I am fed up with the damage rumours cause. Realistically, there is no reason for them.

If something is your business, ask your questions of those directly involved. If something is not your business—stay out of it.

And, if you want to know what council is doing and why—attend their meetings! They were elected to represent you and your community and that by the way, is your business.

Foster Families are very special people who provide temporary care for children, in a warm, loving, family environment, for a limited amount of time, until the children can return home. Foster families open their homes and their hearts to children of all ages.

Children come into their homes needing a safe place, to be cared for and accepted for who they are. Some children stay a few days, while others may stay longer. Some children are even adopted by their foster family and others remain in close contact even after they return home. Foster Families care for children with a wide array of behaviors and challenges. They work as part of a team of professionals centered on the child and their needs.

We are currently experiencing a shortage of qualified Foster Homes. If you have ever considered learning more about fostering, please come to one of our weekly information sessions. The homes and families are thor-oughly screened and education is provided before placement.

Information Sessions are held on Wednesdays at the MCFD resource office #104-1873 Main St., Penticton B.C.

Contact Amonika Schroeder at MCFD to register for an information session@ 250-770-7524

For general information and inquiries you can contact;Melanie Boyko, Okanagan Foster Parents Association Coordinator for

the South Okanagan. 250-462-6907 or email [email protected]

Thank you for taking the time to consider if fostering is right for your family.

Dear Editor,Your opinion piece in the May

28, 2014 Spotlight regarding the signs designed by local children who spent a day cleaning the Cormack Marsh area on Earth Day, is well written. The signs are a testament to the pride and innocence of our youth as they learned about the pollution of our waterways and people’s frequent abuse of nature, and worked to correct it. As an almost daily walker along the trail in the Tunnel area, I enjoyed read-ing the signs and appreciated the art

work of the children. I worked with the parents, teachers, children and other community members that day to help in the cleanup of the marsh. Then on my usual walk I noticed a sign had been pulled out of the ground and wondered why. Now I know, it was mindless vandalism.

Disheartening yes, but not defeating as the vandalism makes our resolve to contribute in positive and healthy ways more stronger.”

Dear Editor,Otter Valley Fish & Game Club held its annual Walk for Wildlife on

Sunday, May 4. It was a successful day with walkers bringing in pledge money for the club, BC Cancer Society, Princeton Secondary School Rugby team and Princeton Ground Search and Rescue (GSAR).

The club would like to thank all participants and helpers; Dan W. for donating his time and quad to check on all the walkers and checkpoint people.

The day was enjoyed by all who attended. In the clubhouse, hotdogs, juice, coffee, tea and cookies were served up around the outdoor bonfire.

Dear Editor, They that work the land in the

Okanagan-Similkameen have fash-ioned it into a Garden of Eden. The choice wine produced no doubt started when Eve came up with this Apple Cider to please her husband Adam. However a resi-dent shyster - jerk enticed Adam to make Moonshine (a vodka type alcohol) out of the wine dregs and started bootlegging. (Selling with-out permission)

Consequently all were uncer-emoniously expelled from the gar-den and the world’s troubles and Mafia began.

This dubious history has yet to be proven untrue.

Of late because of liquor ration-ing, moonshine pepped up the min-ers at Copper Mtn. Princeton B.C.

during the second World War.Our wine just gets better and

when eating out we would have it with our meals if it was $4.50 per six ounce glass or $1.98 per sniffer glass—the narrow one you can’t get your nose in. Mind you we’re just retired poor folks and we just sniff whenever coffee is $2.98 a cup.

Some medical people say men can drink 12 ounces of wine per day. Women should have just six ounces per day, probably because their metabolism is attuned to the delicate way they’re put together.

Another reason Eve decided on Apple Cider.

With many thanks for past support, Jennifer Bernard told Fall Fair members on May 27 that Princeton Rodeo Club will host the community Halloween party this year. The change has come about due to the announcement in February by Fall Fair President Dan Kastor that the Fall Fair could not afford the $600 increase in event insur-ance the Fall Fair would have to spend to host the Halloween party. Princeton Rodeo Club was able to secure added insurance for fireworks for only $100, and was pleased to offer their support for the event.

There was a great deal of discussion at the Fall Fair meeting about who would operate the concession during the fair. Amanda Young, a resident of the South Okanagan, wishes to oper-ate the concession for the Fall Fair. The conces-sion has been operated in the past three years by Jennifer Bernard. The decision as to who will operate the concession will be voted on at the next Fall Fair meeting on June 24, following a presentation by both Bernard and Young.

Volunteers are needed to run the dunk tank and the bingo. Any group wishing to operate either will have the opportunity to raise funds on a cost-sharing basis.

The Youth Ambassador group will be doing face-painting at the Fall Fair.

The Exhibitors Prize List booklet will be pre-pared in the near future. It will include both the

adult and junior fair categories. Pumpkin seeds were given out at the annual Princeton Rodeo and members hope to see many big pumpkins entered into the Biggest Pumpkin category.

Shirley Freding is preparing a giant pumpkin to be included in the Rotary parade this year. Rose and Merv Flegel have donated chicken wire for the structure and Shirley is working on it. Shirley is also preparing the backdrop of a mural for the flower show area of the fair. Local residents will be given an opportunity to add something to the mural during the summer months before the mural is put in place.

The annual Princeton and District Agricultural Fall Fair will take place on Saturday and Sunday, September 6 and 7 of this year.

New fire truck for Hayes CreekL to R: Peter Grizer, Stan Quintan, Vic Bartel, Chief Rob Miller and Cliff GloverThe Hayes Creek fire department has a new fire pumper to go with it’s ten-der and medical first responder trucks. It is a 1994 F-450 CAAF mini pump-er 4 wheel drive (compressed air “A” type foam) bought from the Mayne Island fire department for $9,000. Replacement cost on this truck for a 2014 year model is $237,000. This pumper replaces the 1976 ford pumper, which is now in service with the bordering Erris Fire Department.

A toonie for a fire truckChief Rob Miller of Hayes Creek Fire presents the fire pumper to Erris pres-ident Sandi Lawler in exchange for a toonie, with members of both depart-ments looking on.This is done in the spirit of fire departments helping fire departments—the brotherhood of firefighters.This will put the Erris fire department in “business” with their first fire pumper truck and begin a mutual aid agreement between the two depart-ments.

Local to participate in BC Ride to Conquer Cancer

Friends Renee Hartwell and Lisa Panchenko pre-pare to ride on June 14 and 15 in The Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer to benefit BC Cancer Foundation.

Contributed

I was fortunate enough to be a part of my friend, Lisa’s, pit crew for the 2013 RTCC, who was riding in memory of her father. It is not the first time she has inspired me, and when she asked me to join her on the 2014 ride, I, of course, accepted the challenge. Advice I have been given at some time in the recent past is to take challenges and opportunities as they come while you are able to, because no one knows what the future holds.

In my lifetime, I have seen a teacher, aunt, uncles, cousins, family friends and family of friends fight the courageous battle against cancer. Some won the battle and others live in our memo-ries. I would like to dedicate my ride to my uncle Jim who was taken from us too soon. He fought a good fight for years with strong determination. He was the best of men, leaving behind a wonderful family who fought right alongside him. The jour-ney they have endured is one I hope to never know directly. I ride for their bravery and know that if I have just one ounce of their perseverance on the ride, it will be a breeze.

A little bit about THE RIDE: The Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer ben-

efitting BC Cancer Foundation, is a two-day, almost 200 km cycling journey, from Surrey to close to Seattle. It will be a challenge in a num-ber of ways, but I have the bike, the best trainer around (my husband Ryan) the support of my family and friends and with your generosity, a real impact will be made.

I am asking you to please help me in rais-ing much needed funds to keep this important research going and hopefully help many more Canadians to survive this disease.

Funds raised in The Ride to Conquer Cancer will support breakthrough research, exemplary teaching, and compassionate care made possible through BC Cancer Foundation, a leader in can-cer research and care.

Thank you in advance for your help. Any amount, large or small, is greatly appreciated!

Please donate by visiting my personal page, http://www.conquercancer.ca/goto/rhartwell2014 or call 250-438-0776 and I’ll be happy to pick up your donation.

On May 31 and June 1 your Kokanee Swim Club attended their first out-of- town swim meet. Penticton Pikes hosted an annual invitational sanctioned meet. A sanctioned event takes place in a regulation length 25-metre pool with trained officials. Times are officially recorded for competitors work-ing toward Regionals and Provincials.

When Kokanees attend a swim meet our coach encour-ages swimmers to race against their own best time, striving to beat themselves. Our focus is always on fun! Twenty-seven swimmers attended Penticton’s meet and we received 137 best times: 866 seconds shaved off as a team.

Norm Anderson placed second in a difficult 100m butter-fly. Olivia Holloway broke a 25m butterfly team record. The most time off in one race was Carter Heron with 50 seconds in 100m front crawl.

We boast eight of our swimmers in the top 5 of their races. Owen Bartlett received a Gold aggregate for Div 7, and our team placed 5th overall with 1,660 points.

We are proud of all our swimmers. Everyone did well and showed amazing team spirit.

Every swim meet, our coaches pick a “Swimmer of the Meet” based on overall attitude, personal goals, personal growth, and team spirit. Swimmers of the Penticton meet were Nathan Silbernagel and Nathan Anderson.

During the past weeks Centennial Pool Swimmers of the Week have made amazing strides. Congratulations to Dani Pankratz, Lacey Baird, Katie Bartlett, Avery Laidlaw, Graham Atkinson, Kiaira Anderson, Deacon Holloway, Mady Wessel, and Kyle Baird. If you see these kids in the community, give them a high five.

Next weekend, June 7, Princeton is hosting an all-day Fun “Try Meet” at Centennial Pool. Since our pool is 25 yards this is a non-sanctioned event. We limit invitations and are excited to host teams to our community. We welcome you to come down and cheer our swimmers on.

Kokanee swimmers celebrate successes

Four players from the Princeton Posse, two from the Campbell River Storm and one from the Westshore Wolves all had a strong showing in the New England Pre-Draft Tournament earlier this month.

In addition to the KIJHL and VIJHL presence, was also alumni of the Pursuit of Excellence Hockey Academy and Okanagan Hockey Academy. The tournament consisted of 76 teams from around the world in a chance to show scouts one last time what they are capable of before the NHL draft. Players in the tournament range from Major Junior to Prep School/Major Midget Calibre.

Kurtis Klinger, Devan Suidy, Brandon Workun and Brandon Schaber all represented the Posse on Team Canada West White, which was coached by Posse coaches Bill Rotheisler and Mark McNaughton who put together the team with Cowichan Capitals Head Scout Lou Gravel. Joining the Posse players were other top junior B players including Brett Lervold (Westshore Wolves), Alex Brewer and Gage Colpron (Campbell River Storm) from the VIJHL.

In addition to the Junior B crew, there were junior A play-ers on the team from the AJHL, MJHL, Switzerland and Sweden; along with the USPHL and WSHL.

Full-roster and stats can be seen here: http://www.proam-hockey.com/

The team first met in Boston on Wednesday, May 7 for meetings where most attended a Red Sox game to start the bonding process. Thursday consisted of a practice and an exhibition game in which the Team Canada West White won a tight 3-2 battle. The day also consisted of the players tour-ing both Boston University and Boston College.

The tournament officially began on Friday with the Posse boys winning their first official game by a 5-2 score. Campbell River Storm defenseman, Alex Brewer, scoring in the contest. Saturday morning saw a very tight contest. With Brandon Workun out with a lower body injury, Campbell River Storm defenseman Trent Johnson filled in to help the Team Canada boys break a game long deadlock in the final frame to finish with a 2-1 win. The third official game in the round robin came late Saturday afternoon, where goals from Posse defenseman Brandon Workun (2), Posse captain Kurtis Klinger (1) and Storm Forward Gage Colpron (1) would give Team Canada the 6-3 win to secure a perfect 3-0 record in the tournament, 4-0 including the exhibition game, and first place in their pool, and only team in their pool to move on to the playoffs.

Despite attending a motivating Stanley Cup Playoff game the night before, Sunday morning the boys would be handed their first loss of the trip. Team Canada West White bowed out 5-1 in a sudden death game to a team that had NCAA division 1 commitments into the double digits, which is more than most BCHL teams have. Posse winger Devan Suidy had the lone goal for the western Canadians.

Team Canada West White coach Bill Rotheisler comment-ed: “It was a great experience to see our (Princeton) boys play as well as they did and definitely exceed expectations. The fact that the strong character KIJHL and VIJHL players that we took did so well against some very tough teams will do an incredible amount for their chances to move forward in the game. In addition, for the returning players, it has put their confidence to a point that will increase their own individual level of play, contributing to their respective team’s results and overall league calibre.”

Grad gas raffle winners extend thanksDave and Cheri Peters were in Princeton to vol-

unteer as a part of the annual work/clean-up day at camp Tulahead. They had some extra time on their hands and decided to look up a family connection on Cheri’s side whom they had never met—well known Princeton resident, Eric Goodfellow. They had a great visit with Eric and his son Chris.

The couple decided to pick up some food at the

grocery store, prior to heading to Camp Tulahead, which is where they purchased their winning raffle ticket. Dave and Cheri Peters extend their thanks saying, “We have been big supporters of dry grad activities in the past,... all of our children (4) gradu-ated from Penticton high school.

Thank you very much, and all the best wishes to the grads of 2014 at Princeton Secondary School!”

Whether it’s a graduation, wedding, birthday or just because, our fl oral team will be happy to help you celebrate in style.

CRIMSON TINE PLAYERS - from page 1With an eclectic cast of characters, the little

town of Grover’s Corners gives up its secrets along with the turmoil hidden behind the stoic faces of the older citizens of this turn-of-the-century hamlet, leaving no stone unturned.

In particular, Taylor Gibb, whose character, the starry-eyed Emily Webb, is reminiscent of a young Elizabeth Taylor.

Taylor’s real-life younger sister Victoria plays the role of the typically self-absorbed little sister of George Gibbs, played by Eric Ogrinc, whose sights are set on becoming a farmer and is smit-ten with his next-door-neighbour, Emily, whom he will eventually marry.

The ever-inebriated and troubled church organist/choir leader Simon Stinson was played by Fisher Wang. Sisters Maddisen and Abbagael Fulton took on the roles of Wally Webb and Joe/Si Crowell, while Emily McConnell had a number of scenes as Sam Craig, an out-of-town cousin of Emily.

Ryan Francis flitted in and out of the scenes as both a wedding and a funeral guest. Long-time player, Dayton Wales played the unas-suming local milkman in each act, as well as the town undertaker, Joe Stoddard, at Emily’s funeral scene. Auditorium player, choir member and woman-among-the-dead was played by Lisa Carleton. This is Carleton’s first stint at acting.

Dick Bird, along with his loyal dog, Bullet, played the role of editor of Grover’s Corners local newspaper, and father to the besotted Emily. His wife of 40 years, Myrtle Webb, was played by Deborah Cappos. The doctor’s wife, and George’s mother, Julia Gibbs, was played by Heather Anderson. Both roles characterized the typically tireless woman of the times. Mrs. Soames, the town gossip, was played by Gillian Hodgson. Sylvia Bailey was cast in multiple roles throughout the play and is one of the founding members of the Crimson Tine Players. The clumsy and eccentric Professor Willard, along with the overly diligent Constable Willard

were played by Dawn Gardner.It’s the behind-the-scene crew who often

don’t get credited for their efforts. This handful of people were responsible for hair, makeup, costume creation and design. Sue Alton brought the play to life with her period wardrobe. Pam Kepner, hair stylist, kept the players convincing for the time period. Guadalupe Gutierrez ran the makeup department with the help of Hillary Riel, who also assisted in ticket sales. The play was overseen by line prompter, Marylou Terryberry, while Emily Bain covered the light-ing and sound.

The play’s director, Josh Herzog, who also immerses himself in the character of the town’s no-nonsense Doc Webb, in real time, is a well respected English lit and social studies teacher at PSS.

This is Herzog’s second endeavour as director (the first being Hansel and Gretel in 2011) and is no stranger to little theatre. He chose Our Town in honour of his mother Susan, who had planned to direct it. Susan passed away three years ago, before her dream was realized. In honour of her memory, Herzog left a chair vacant during the performance in the front row for her.

It is a Celtic tradition to set a place for the ones you’ve lost - whether at a play or a family gathering.

Thornton Wilder’s Our Town has been per-formed on stages from Broadway, to a myriad of small towns and large cities for over 79 years. The multi-talented Crimson Tine Players would have made the author proud with their rendition of Our Town.

For director Josh Herzog, it’s been a labour of love. He simply had this to say -“From my per-spective, it’s been a thrill-ride working with this fantastic cast and dedicated crew….the actors have put in countless hours of work and had to deal with my overly picky and cantankerous style of directing - not an easy task, but one that they faced with dogged determination.”

The Crimson Tine Players production of Our Town was presented May 29 - 31 at the Riverside Cen-tre Theatre. Top left: the entire cast from ‘Gro-ver’s Corners’. Top: Tay-lor Gibb as Emily Webb. Bottom: A pre-wedding scene from Act II and to the right, the ‘funeral scene’ from Act III.

Inspired By A Dream Grounded In Tradition

Volunteer-Driven

NO ENTRY FEENO MINIMUM PLEDGE

Walk-Run-Wheel-Ride

For the next week or so, I am watering my friend’s garden while she is away for a break.

Since we moved to our tiny apartment six years ago, I have been satisfied with two large planters for flowers, and a smaller one for herbs. They sit out on our roof deck where it is very sunny and warm most plant growing days.

My friend’s garden is another thing altogether. It is brim-ming to the edges with life. Both garden and house are well settled and full of history. There is a lovely little thinking spot with rocks, birdbath, and an old wooden settee, the artifacts from a lifetime of love of beauty. There are areas for all manner of vegetables with their companion plants to keep the bugs away. Raspberry canes are blossoming and a medium sized sentinel cherry tree makes a statuesque focal point. Food for the body as well as the soul grows in this place.

My task is to water everything in the back yard. Yesterday, as I began, an interesting phe-nomenon took place. Because every square inch has something growing and needing moisture, I began to slow down and pay attention. I drew closer to the foliage and adjusted the spray for gentler output. I began noticing the individual plants and how they had been juxtaposed with one another in a confi-dent, casual way.

Then, an amazing thing happened. The names began com-ing back! I had not remembered those marvelous names for years. Solomon’s seal, lavender, columbine, bleeding heart, hosta, sedum, clematis and on and on. I’m sure if you had been there you’d have thought I’d lost my mind. I was having a silent conversation with each plant as I moved down the side of the house to the back. I was so pleasantly surprised to find those names in the jungle of my aging mind. Soon, I began to recall some of the gardens I had nurtured or vis-ited. As I watered the vegetables, I remembered my German grandmother’s Northern Saskatchewan garden of root veg-etables, cabbage and endless rows of peas and beans. I was

always allowed to pick peas, strip them out of the pods and eat them while standing between the rows and soaking up sunlight. I can recall the pungent smells even now.

My mother always had a garden when we lived in Winnipeg. I remember protective caragana hedges surround-ing yards and creating a gentler environment for iris, coto-neaster shrubs, bachelor buttons, daisies, Icelandic poppies, alyssum, petunias and the beloved hardy species of flowering

almond, all tough-as-nails plants. Of course, everywhere were lilacs in mauve, purple and sometimes white. Perhaps because she remem-bered endless hours of back-breaking weeding in my grandmother’s half-acre,

Mom rarely grew vegetables. After the long, brutal winters had passed, we visited market gardens and sometimes even started our own plants in March to be put out after danger of frost had passed. Gardening was a blood sport on the prairies!

When Paul and I moved to BC, I knew I had arrived in a garden paradise. I had never gar-dened in a mountainous, semi-arid climate such as Princeton, but after settling in, I began to get

the hang of it. My first delight was finding that the ancient hedge growing against the front fence of our little rented house was a variety of prolific yellow rose, and we happened to be experiencing an exceptional year. For nearly a month, we delighted in a riot of yellow. On my walks with the dog and cat, I watched for balsam root - I called them sunflowers, lupine, penstemon and one incredible day, I found an exotic bitter root growing under a ponderosa pine.

I always knew that gardening is good for a person, afford-ing healthy exercise. I even had a tentative grip on the idea that it was good for the soul. The surprise was to discover that I had not lost the names of the plants. My mind and my spirit were enjoying delight and harmony and that made for a very, very good day.

I hope I never forget.

ARTI-FACTSMERRILYN HUYCKE

Gardening feeds the body and soulVermilion Forks Field Naturalists enjoyed a

record turnout for our field trip to Allison Lake on May 31.

Twenty-one of us, led by Trish Reid, took advantage of the ideal weather to meander along the trail on the west side of the lake for close to three hours. We took our time as there was much to observe, with a profusion of colourful wildflowers and melodious bird calls to tantalize our senses. We came across golden meadows of arnica growing alongside scarlet paintbrush plants, competing for attention with their showy brilliance. Purple penstemon caught our eyes, as did a Solomon’s Seal, a few precious Chocolate lilies and a lovely ladyslipper. We noted a preva-lence of kinnikinnick, and some of us sampled leaves of the plentiful soopolallie. The lake itself was calm, mirroring the surrounding greenery, while a pair of loons quietly swam by, rippling the surface only slightly. We heard the trills of a veery and Western tanager, while an osprey swooped overhead several times. Our best find, however, was a small bird’s nest tucked into the grass beside the trail. Complete with two blue-speckled eggs, its absentee owner was identified as a dark-eyed junco. This delightful walk ended at Trish’s home, where she spoiled us with cake and beverages.

Our next field trip will take place on Saturday, June 14, when Tip Anderson will lead us on an easy walk through Dalby Meadows. Phone 295-3369 to confirm and meet at Billy’s at 9 a.m. Our next meeting will be held at Riverside Centre on Tuesday, June 10, at 7 p.m., and will feature guest speaker Lauren MacFarland, who will provide a presentation on Lewis’ woodpeckers.

Please note this will be our last meeting until September, but field trips will continue through-out the summer. We welcome all to our meetings and field trips – please join us for a stimulating and sociable time!

CAPRICORN: You may experience a conflict with others at work this week, Capricorn. It is best to roll with the punches instead of causing a stir. Allow the situation to unfold.

AQUARIUS: Aquarius, a hectic few weeks at work have proven distracting. It might seem overwhelming right now, but things will settle down in a matter of days.

PISCES: Pisces, you may want to be invisible in the crowd this week, but that scenario simply isn’t in the cards. Grin and bear the attention.

ARIES: Aries, your energy is contagious this week, and others flock to you as if you have a magnetic pull. Enjoy the attention, but don’t forget to seek some solitude as well.

TAURUS: Take precautions as you prepare for an important project, Taurus. If you rush through things, you are bound to make mistakes that could negatively impact your career.

GEMINI: Everything you touch turns to gold this week, Gemini. You could set many things into motion with your clever ideas and infectious charisma. Stay grounded.

CANCER: An unexpected encounter stirs up some old feelings, Cancer. Enjoy your trip down Memory Lane and take advantage of this opportunity to reconnect with an old friend.

LEO: Leo, tread lightly this week when working on an important project. Expect scrutiny in all you do and plan accordingly. Keep working hard, and your efforts will be noticed.

VIRGO: Expect the unexpected this week, Virgo. Things might seem as if they are going according to plan, but a few complications may arise so be prepared.

LIBRA: A great idea has sidetracked you for some time now, Libra. But now it’s time to get back into your normal routine and focus on the tasks at hand.

SCORPIO: Scorpio, embrace unique ideas concerning your future this week. Consider all possibilities no matter how out of the ordinary they may seem.

SAGITTARIUS: Practical concerns could temporarily stall plans that are a bit fantastical, Sagittarius. But don’t fret, you will have an opportunity to put some plans in motion soon enough.

FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY

Experiment with Flavorful Indian cuisine Experimenting in the kitchen is one of

the many joys of cooking. Men and women who love to cook an experience interna-

tional cuisine without leaving the comforts of home.

The food of India is as beloved as it is versatile. Weekend warriors who enjoy

experimenting in the kitchen often like doing so with Indian cuisine, which is known for its bold flavors. Such is the case with the

following recipe for “Pumpkin With Cashews,” from Monisha Bharadwaj’s “India’s Vegetarian Cooking,” (Kyle Books).

PUMPKIN WITH CASHEWSServes 4

5 ounces freshly grated coconut, dried

8 cashews1 tablespoon poppy seeds2 tablespoons sunflower oil1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds2 dried red chiles, broken in half and

seeds shaken out6 curry leaves1/2 teaspoon turmeric11 ounces pumpkin, peeled and

chopped into 1/2-inch cubes

3 tablespoons soft brown sugar Salt, to taste2/3 cup milk

1. Put the coconut, cashews, poppy seeds, and 1/4 cup of water in a blender and grind to a paste. Add water as neces-

sary to make a fine paste. Set aside.2. Heat the oil in a heavy pan and add

the mustard seeds. When they pop, add the

chiles and the curry leaves. Sprinkle in the turmeric and pour in the coconut paste at

once. Stir to blend.3. Add the pumpkin and a couple of

tablespoons of water.4. Add the sugar and salt. Pour in the

milk and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the pumpkin is just tender but still holds its shape, about 10 to 12 min-

utes. Serve hot with rice. PC126212

Vehicles which included a‘39 Chevy GMC, ‘63 Nova, ‘28 Chrysler, ‘36 Ford Coupe, and a ‘48 Anglia were among the classic cars and trucks on display during the 7th annual Krankin’ Vintage Car Show held Saturday, May 31.

Enthusiasts from Keremeos, Langley, Princeton and the Okanagan brought their treasures to show in support of the Krankin’ Vintage celebration.

Attendees of the annual car show, as well as tourists passing by, were welcome to take photos of the classics and enjoy the free barbecue lunch pro-

vided by the Krankin’.crew. Owners of the vehicles were most happy to answer questions about their objects of pride and joy.

The perusal of black and white photo’s of clas-sics as well as story comparison, was part of the days celebrations as well.

Randy Folk, owner/operator of the company said he “loves to show off the cars and enjoys the good group of people who come out to support Krankin’.”

The crew at Krankin’ are looking forward to their next annual event -Bikes and Barbecue which will take place on Saturday, July 5.

Showing at Krankin Left: John Draper says he’s “gotta be differ-ent!” — which is why he chose the colour, Cantaloupe Orange for his beauty of a ‘39 Chevy GMC. Below: Along with the hard work of Mike from Gallagher Lake Autobody, this 36 Ford Coupe took three years to build. The interior looks as sharp as the exterior. The ‘36 Coupe is owned by “Hot Rod Lenny”.


Thank you Brad!
