VICTORIA – Elections BC officials started counting 180,000 absentee ballots Monday, an unusually high number that could be enough to change the result of some closer contests from the May 14 provincial vote.Final results will be known by Wednesday.A recount is also underway in the closest of the 85 constituency elections, Saanich North and the Islands. The NDP’s Gary Holman led after ini-tial counting with 9,676 votes, 50 more than B.C. Liberal candidate Stephen Roberts. Adam Olsen of the B.C. Green Party was a close third with 9,294 votes.Another closely watched constituency is Co-quitlam-Maillardville, where B.C. Liberal Steve Kim led with 9,044 in preliminary results. The NDP’s Selena Robertson was 105 votes behind after early results in the final count, which in-cludes absentee ballots.Premier Christy Clark has indicated she will wait until the final count is complete before deciding where to seek a seat in a by-election. The NDP’s David Eby finished 785 votes ahead of Clark in election-night returns for Vancouver-Point Grey, a result unlikely to be overturned by the addition of late ballots to the total.Elections BC officials say the 180,000 absentee ballots doubles the number received in 2009. The final count include votes cast by people outside their home constituencies. It also incorporates mail-in votes and special polling places set up at hospitals, isolated communities and logging or fishing camps.

NDP Harry Lali served as MLA for the Yale-Lillooet rid-ing (local riding) from 1991 to 2001, then from 2005 to 2009 and again in the Fraser-Nicola riding (newly created local riding) from 2009 to 2013.

Preliminary voting results from election day, May 14 of this year show BC Liberal Jackie Tegart with the win at 5,539 votes to incumbent NDP Harry Lali with 4,785 votes in the Fraser-Nicola riding.

“NDP voters stayed home,” said Lali. According to past voter support tracking approximately 3200 NDP voters stayed home he said.

Complacency and the belief of voters who thought Lali was a “shoo-in” thinking he just couldn’t lose—may just have kept voters at home.

“This happened province wide as well,” said Lali. In the early polls, the NDP was the lead province-wide, but

in the end voter turnout was low. According to information from BC Elections, only 1,692,502 of the registered 3,116,626 B.C. voters cast their ballots. (Preliminary results)

Lali extends his congratulations to Tegart and “wishes her well.”

“I will be back in four years,” he said, “the Liberals got a freebie—this time.”

Final results of the 2013 Election will be known by Wednesday, May 29.

Council Briefs ~ May 21On behalf of Council, Mayor Frank Armitage

officially welcomed Kevin Huey, the new Manager of Public Works for the Town of Princeton, by saying, “welcome home.” Born and raised in Princeton, Huey began his new position last week after a 23 year hiatus from the community.

Motioned by Councillor Maynard and sec-onded by Councillor Pateman, Council received for information a Summary of Recommended Actions contained within an Administrative Review of the Princeton Volunteer Fire Department.

Fire Chief Eric Gregson and Deputy Fire Chief Rob Banks present during Council received commendations from Mayor and Council. “This report speaks very well of you,” said Mayor Armitage, “please take back to your crew—our appreciation for the top drawer efforts of your department.”

With a motion made by Councillor Maynard and seconded by Councillor Pateman, Council agreed to purchase a User Group Insurance Policy from SBC Insurance Agencies Ltd., to provide ‘blanket coverage on pre-determined activi-ties for groups who register with the Town and do not have access to liability insurance from other sources.’

The cost to the Town will be $2000. Groups will need to register with the Recreation Department

and may be charged a small fee in order to help recoup the Towns premium. Both Councillors Maynard and Pateman noted this was a good idea and would make things easier for the groups. Mayor Armitage added, “It makes good sense, we don’t want insurance issues to preclude events in our community—it is money well spent.”



Hospital Auxiliary presents gift to Highway Extrication

After viewing a rescue truck while at a conference in Revelstoke, B.C., Ann Middleton came back to the Princeton Hospital Auxiliary and advised the other members of what she saw. “They had a beautiful truck with all the bells and whistles, said Middleton,” “new equipment and draw-ers full of it.”

Frank Currier, fondly known by most as “Farmer,” presented a proposal of sponsor-ship to the Auxiliary and showed the members the Princeton Highway Rescue Truck.

“It was enough to put you in tears,” said Middleton. “The equipment was out-dated, the drawers almost empty—and they do such good work.”

The Princeton Hospital Auxiliary began ‘sponsoring’ the Princeton Highway Extrication Society in 2011. Their first gift was that of $5000 and the purchase of pagers. “They took that $5000 and doubled it by investing some in hats and selling them,” said Ann Middleton. “This group doesn’t just take money, they work for it,” she adds.

In 2012 the Auxiliary gifted $10,000 to the

society and again this year, another $10,000.In 2012, local Husky employee John English

initiated an fundraiser to assist the society with the purchase of new equipment and a new truck.

Between the Hospital Auxiliary and the fun-draising initiative as of the end of 2012 the Highway Extrication Society had $23,000 more to go to reach their goal.

The recent gift of $10,000 has brought the amount needed to $13,000.

“These ladies are just incredible,” said soci-ety member Frank Currier, “they have done so much for us.”

The Highway Rescue truck carries the Hospital Auxiliary name and that of Husky fuel, both of which have supported the society greatly.

Lisa Carleton/Spotlight

The Zig Zag project which has been on hold due to issues with the architect and contractors has been a “big source of embarrassment,” said Mayor Armitage. After a conference call from Interim CAO Bob Wilson and Deputy Treasurer Shirley McMahon with the archi-tect and contractors, the project complete to architect design should be finished within a couple of weeks.

Grand opening celebrated Friday

Suzie’s Shoppe celebrated its grand opening on Friday, May 24.L-R: Susan MacDonald (owner/operator), cel-ebrates opening day with friend and neigh-bour, Mary-ann Slager as well as new employ-ee Jaymi Powell. Suzie’s Shoppe is a new and consignment wom-en’s clothing and acces-sories store located at 225 Bridge Street.

A vision that was almost two years in the mak-ing has become reality for Susan MacDonald.

On Friday, May 24 MacDonald and her hus-band Mike opened the doors of Suzie’s Shoppe for the first day in business.

“I wanted the women of Princeton to be able to shop locally,” said Susan MacDonald.

Her vision is to provide a store where women can purchase quality clothing, in a wide selec-tion of sizes, for all occasions at reasonable prices. It is priority for MacDonald to offer this in a relaxed and comfortable, clean environment with excellent customer service.

The MacDonald’s have created Suzie’s Shoppe complete with a freshly renovated store. They are very grateful for all the help and sup-port they have received from their local and out-of-town friends during this endeavour.

“We are definitely not another thrift store in Princeton,” said MacDonald, “I am purchas-ing new inventory daily from a wide variety of sources—the Coast, Penticton and Calgary—to

name a few.”She also wants to assure customers that all

consignment clothing will be pre-washed before it is presented for sale.

Suzie’s Shoppe offers women a one-stop loca-tion to purchase new and consignment cloth-ing in a wide selection of sizes, for casual, professional and evening/formal wear needs. Accessories including jewelry, purses, scarves and footwear are available as well.

“You won’t see yourself coming down the street,” said Mary-ann Slager with a chuckle while discussing the variety of clothing available at the store.

MacDonald plans to build on the items avail-able by bringing in a lingerie section and adding to the bridal, evening and formal wear selections.

Suzie’s Shoppe, located at 225 Bridge Street is open six days a week, Monday to Friday from 10 a.m., to 5 p.m. and 11 a.m., to 3 p.m., on Sundays.

“We hope to be embraced by the community,” said MacDonald, “come on in—we are looking forward to serving you.”

SpotlightOPINION

VICTORIA – Like those Japanese soldiers who didn’t hear about the end of World War II, the militant fringe that controls the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is digging in for endless battle against the B.C. government.

Their nemesis, Premier Christy Clark, reiterated last week that seeking a 10-year agreement with the BCTF is a top priority when the legislature is recalled this summer.

The current one-year truce ends June 30. The BCTF grudgingly agreed to that extension last year, then ran TV ads calling for an NDP government that promised concessions and union bosses on both sides of the negotiating table.

“You know, I may be a lame duck,” outgoing BCTF president Susan Lambert crowed to cheering classroom-warfare radicals at the union’s convention in March, “but I think Christy’s goose is cooked.”

We’ll never know how much this sort of gloating contributed to the epic collapse of the NDP, champion of public sector union members whose pay and benefits make them the new upper class.

But I can tell you the prospects for sparing children from this ideological warfare are not good.

Last week the B.C. Court of Appeal handed down an ivory-tower decision that upheld the “right” of teachers to bring their union demands into the classroom in the form of posters, buttons and black armbands that to some self-absorbed teachers symbol-ize the “death” of education.

During the election campaign, The Globe and Mail carried a story on one of those mock elections held in schools around the province. An elementary-level student was quoted as saying she voted against the B.C. Liberals because Clark “caused a teachers’ strike.”

If this kid was talking about the most recent strike, I won-der where she got that idea. In a negotiating performance that was appalling even by BCTF standards, Lambert and her team conducted months of disruptive work-to-rule action before they

could even articulate a wage and benefit demand. When they finally did, it was outrageously out of touch with reality.

An indication of how the union’s ruling class wants to conduct itself in the classroom can be found in the latest issue of the BCTF newsletter to its members. Joanna Larson, president of the Prince Rupert union local, contributes an article headlined: “What kind of citizen do we hope to graduate from our K-12 public schools?”

Larson first quotes the education ministry’s cur-rent goals. They include preparing citizens who are “creative, flexible, self-motivated, and who have a positive self-image.” Another goal is citizens who are “skilled and who can contribute to society generally,

including the world of work.”Larson then mocks these goals, as follows:“Essentially, the Ministry of Education has a vision of citizens

who will maintain the status quo, not rock the boat, and par-ticipate on a superficial level in aspects of political and societal change. It doesn’t challenge individuals to take direct action against exploitation, marginalization and violence.”

In case you missed the political message, Larson later asserts: “The educated citizens we graduate from our schools cannot just be content to wear a pink shirt once a year…. Educated, engaged citizens must be willing to take direct action to change and shape our society for the better.”

What is this ghastly “status quo” that must be challenged by “direct action”? In these campus-radical screeds, the final answer is generally the same: capitalism. This call to arms is a blend of the NDP election platform and a rant from the Occupy Vancouver squat of a couple of years ago.

It’s no wonder we hear of students making BCTF picket signs in art class.

Black PressGuest Editorial

Birthday Girl; Who is this? Check next weeks Spotlight for the answer.1) Can often be seen attending various events taking pictures and interviewing people in the community. 2) Spends countless hours work-ing on our paper.. 3) Will be turning ?? on May 28.Answer to the previous week: Tom Ryan

The pace of government action (or in this case, inaction) is something Canadians will never fully be able to grasp.

In the blink of an eye, the Conservative gov-ernment can strip away the retirement dreams of millions of Canadians. But when a loyal soldier of the government stands accused of bilking taxpayers with improper expenses, the prime minister claims to be powerless, while money is quietly funneled out of his office to repay the alleged wrongdoing.

But, this time, Canadians may finally have had enough. The cloud of scandal continues to grow over the head of embattled Senator Mike Duffy. The former TV journalist is accused of fudging his expense account, eventually repaying the improp-erly claimed expenses with $90,000 he received from Nigel Wright, Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s chief of staff who has since resigned.

Duffy has now quit the Conservative caucus in the Senate, but he is so far rejecting calls to resign as a senator. And the prime minister seems unwilling to push him out the door.

Harper said he was “not happy” and “very upset” with the conduct of some parliamentarians and his own office, before hopping on a plane for a South American trade mission without answering questions from reporters.

The same prime minister who has shown the powers of a majority government are almost limit-less is now unable to even mention the name of his disgraced colleague.

Canada’s 105 senators all make a basic salary of $135,200. And apart from apparently filing bogus expense claims, most Canadians would be hard pressed to name a single duty that senators fulfill.

Maybe Mike Duffy has done a service to his country after all. Maybe the senator’s actions will be the straw that broke the camel’s back and prompt Canadians to demand an end to the political embar-rassment that is this nation’s Senate.

Harper fails to act on Senate scandal

Hi everyone, here I am again passing on some good news from the Le-gion regarding two of our members. First I would like to inform all our members that it is my pleasure to introduce our newest lifetime member to our branch. Her name is Sharon Paterson whom I think most of you know. This member has been outstanding in her service to the Legion and our branch. She has always been available for volunteer work or any other chores that she can help with within the Legion. After examining what she has done for us over the past seventeen years, I personally felt that this was the kind of member who deserves the position of Lifetime Member of The Royal Canadian Legion. I am sure the people of Princ-eton who are members of our branch will agree.I would also like to introduce to you to our new Secretary/Manager, Karen Wittich.She comes to us with a lot of experience in the financial field and the executive of our branch felt that she would be the ideal person for the job. So if you have not met Karen please feel free when you come to Legion for a visit, come into the office and introduce yourself to her and welcome her to our branch.Well, I hope everyone has a good summer as this will be the last message from me until September as I will also taking the summer off. I urge everyone who is going to travel, to please drive safely and have a good vacation or just the summer off and I will talk to you again in September.

~ Jim Turner

Last week’s meat draw was a great one and it was nice to see you all there, I think it was probably the weather that deserves the credit. We try and have events that will draw you in and support your Legion. I want to take this time to thank all the willing helpers. Please don’t forget the bingos on Wednesday and Sunday. Take care, ~ Jean Bowles

A thank you goes out to Tom O’Dwyer for his generous donation of numerous photos of World War Military Aircraft. They will be framed and displayed in the Legion Lounge for all to enjoy. —Thank you, Tom.

On Saturday June 1 and Sunday June 2, the Princeton Airport hosts the Spring Model Jet Meet. The pilots come from quite a distance to fly at this wonderful site. Pilots have come from as far East as Manitoba and South from Washington State, many stay at Princeton Hotels but others camp around the flying area. This event is being run under the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada (MAAC) sanc-tion and insurance. During the event the Town posts a notice with Transport Canada, NOTAM, to let ‘full scale’ pilots know that the club will be flying there.

On Saturday, around noon, the club will line up all of the models on the runway and let specta-tors get ‘up close and personal’ with the planes and pilots. They will also be holding an event this Fall.

A shot in the dark phone call to Superior Propane in Kamloops, brought Princeton Minor Hockey some delightful results in preparation for the upcoming hockey sea-son. One parent, who has used Superior Propane for many years as their propane deliv-ery service, ordered propane and then on a whim phoned to ask for sponsorship. The call turned out to be exactly what was needed for the Minor Posse hockey club to finish suiting up their Peewee team.

Last year, the Peewee team played in the Atom team jerseys, not because they wanted to, but because they didn’t have a full set of away jerseys to match the home ones. Some of the jerseys were rather snug on the larger kids, so when Superior Propane’s Market Manager Barry Zapf phoned to say he was in, the local club jumped for joy. “We didn’t know what we were going to do for next year,” said Princeton and District Minor Hockey Association’s vice president Dierra Maynard. “We have done really well these past two seasons finding spon-sors for our youth hockey teams since we made the switch-over from Princeton Flyers, but we were still short. It was unfortunate that we didn’t have enough players last season to have an Atom team, but for our Peewee players it was lucky. Now, thanks to Superior Propane, we are ready to go come September.”

“It is important to us to give back to the communities we do business in,” stated Zapf. “I played minor, junior and senior hockey and

coached hockey too, so I know what it is like to raise funds to have the needed equipment…and from the players perspective, receiving new equipment is exciting. We were always proud to wear our new jerseys or gear.”

“All three of my children played hockey.” Zapf continued, “and I coached two of the teams. I really believe that all kids need to be introduced to some type of sport as it is a confidence, morale and character builder. It teaches kids to work and play together and to learn how to share and work as a team which will guide them later in life. Sports are healthy and get the parents involved which improves family life. Sports have helped some kids to travel the right path versus being bored and looking for attention by getting into trouble at an early age.”

Zapf was pleased to make a special delivery to a community club in need. “We were really happy to help out Princeton Minor Hockey,” said Zapf. “The smiling faces and sharp look-ing jerseys say it all. Superior Propane was glad to be a part of the sponsorship drive and will continue to support the communities we do business in.”

DENVER - Taneesha Beaupre, a former eighth grade student of Princeton Secondary School has earned a position on the B.C. provincial National Junior High rodeo team and will be traveling with fellow teammates to Gallup, N.M., June 23 to 29 to compete in the ninth annual Junior High Finals Rodeo (NJHFR) in the Barrel Racing, Pole Bending, Team Roping and Ribbon Roping competi-tions.

Featuring more than 1000 contestants from 41 states, five Canadian provinces and Australia, the NJHFR is the world’s largest junior high rodeo. In addition to competing for more than $75,000 in prizes, NJHFR contestants will also be vying for more than $100,000 in college scholarships and the chance to be named the National Junior High Finals Rodeo National Champion. To earn this title, con-testants must finish in the top 20 - based on their combined times/scores in the first two rounds - to advance to Saturday evening’s final round. National Champions will then be determined based on their three-round combined times/scores.

Again this year, the Saturday championship performance will be televised nationally as part of the CinchTown Tour telecast series on RFD-TV. Live broadcasts of each NJHFR performance will also air online at NHSRATV.com powered by iHigh.com. Performance times are 7 p.m., on June 23 and 9 a.m., and 7 p.m., each day thereafter.

Along with great rodeo competition and the chance to meet new friends from around the world, NJHFR contestants have the opportunity to enjoy shooting sports, volleyball, tug-of-war, contestant dances, family oriented activities, church services sponsored by the Fellowship of Christian Cowboys, and shopping at the NJHFR tradeshow, as well as visiting historical attractions of New Mexico and nearby Arizona.

To follow Taneesha Beaupre at the NJHFR, visit NHSRA.org daily for com-plete results. For ticket information and reservations, call (800) 590-1302

Good luck Taneesha

Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists savoured the mild weather on Saturday, May 11, as a group of seven enjoyed a leisurely hike up to the Cinder Cone. This small but steep conical hill is the most common kind of volcano, and consists of glassy, basaltic fragments, which contrasted nicely with the colourful and abundant wildflowers bloom-ing in the grassy areas below. Clear skies and the height attained at the hilltop allowed fantastic views of China Ridge and the Three Brothers in Manning Park. Thea Adamo ably led this com-panionable group, and a good time was report-edly had by all!

Our next meeting, the last of the season until September, will take place on Tuesday, June 11, at 7 p.m., and will feature club member Sue Elwell, who will give a presentation on hummingbird banding.

Sue and her team of banders are an enthusi-astic bunch and the presentation promises to be lively. Please join us for an animated evening!

The painters of Princeton recently had a treat when Linda Anderson, a former resi-dent of Hedley met with us for supper and an Artists Trading Card session later in the Arts Council room. Linda has been a mentor to the painters’ community here for many years, sharing the techniques she has learned over her very active participation in the arts. Her murals are found on the outside of the old fire hall on Veteran’s way here in Princeton and inside the Hitching Post in Hedley. She paints with a sure, fluid style, portraying the local landscape with knowledge. Although she now lives on Vancouver Island, she still men-tors folks here, the latest experience being a three hour Skype demonstration with a couple of enthusiastic, web-savvy seniors.

When we arrived at Riverside and the Arts Council Room, those of us with some experience with the trading card phenomenon set out our tiny blank cards, paints, glue and other supplies and went to work to create min-iature art. However there were several people who had no previous experi-ence with making the cards. They seemed a bit uncomfortable and unsure of what to do. As I watched out of the corner of my eye, I had one of those crazy déjà vu events whereby I was transported back to my elementary school years.

I was one of those kids that couldn’t remember ever not drawing. Due to benign neglect, I wasn’t given guidelines or goals by my parents, neither of whom could draw or paint. They were just happy to get me out of their hair for a few minutes. However, I

was a reasonably sympathetic child and felt for my classmates who were teased and told they couldn’t draw. Worse, many of them were judged by adult criteria rather than being

encouraged for their innate creativity for problem solving, which really is what making art is all about. Just think about it: looking at a three dimen-sional object, or remembering what it looked like and then transforming it into a two dimensional rendering is a huge step in creative thinking.

At that moment the word “doodling” popped into my head. Simultaneously, I remembered my graphic designer daughter telling me that she doodled dur-ing staff meetings to help her focus on the subject at hand. Of course, then the old admonition that those of us of senior years heard so often, “Stop doodling and daydreaming and get back to work!” Are you still with me? The connection was clear!

I suggested the idea of just doodling on the cards with no real pressure to create a Mona Lisa. Honestly, when we give ourselves room to make mis-takes and experiment, art making is just so wonderful! The energy level rose as the rest of the newcomers gradually got their feet under them and dove in. The last fifteen minutes were given over to making trades, one for one. I

came away with beautiful little trading cards for my binder and a really great feeling. By the end of the evening, we had nine enthusiastic people who are looking forward to the next trading card session which we have decided to schedule for the third Wednesday of every month at 6:30 p.m. You are most welcome to join us, no age limit either way!

The arena was full of excitement and fun on Friday night as the Bap-tist Church provided free entertainment for families fuelled with hotdogs, cotton candy and popcorn.The kids were enter-tained by riding the bull, having a boxing match, an obstacle course, sumo wrestling, jousting and the milk run. There was some smaller bouncy castle fun for the little kids as well.Be sure to check out our Facebook page for more photos.
