The usual peace and quiet of the evening in the Chain Lake neighbourhood was disrupted by explosion after explosion on Friday, April 12.
At 7:45 p.m., Hayes Creek Volunteer Fire Department dispatcher, Gail Dickson, received a call from John Crawford, resident of the area reporting that a neighbours home was on fire.
Dickson called out the fire fighters available who arrived on scene by 8:10 p.m.
The cabin located at 3591 Princeton-Summerland Road, was fully engulfed in flames and the fire was spreading throughout the property.
At the time of his call, Crawford had let dis-patch know that he had the lone occupant with him so the firefighters knew they had just to concentrate on putting out the fire.
Eight volunteers worked fiercely to contain the blaze, Herman Zorn, Peter Grizer, Grant Gould and Rick Law headed up the battle.
‘We were horrified,” said Cliff Glover. He and wife Katherine are residents of the area. “We could have lost everything—had the wind come back up the fire would have gone straight up the hill or could have wrapped around the lake.”

Once its out there, you can’t take it back—meaning, your post, text, photo—whatever it is that you send out from one social media device to another. (Cell phone, computer, tablet)
Students and parents of Vermilion Forks Elementary School (VFE) had a visit with Jesse Miller on Friday, April 12.
Miller is an international public speaker who is in high demand to speak on topics of social media awareness, net-working behaviour, online content evaluation and internet safety.
For six years he has engaged students and parents, moti-vating them to evaluate and change the ways they use social
media. During the 2011/12 school year, he was able to speak with over 200,000 students.
While speaking, Millar causes his audience to think hard about the way they use their social media devices. For instance, he asked the students at VFE if they “thought it would be weird to have 100 people following them home.” When they answered yes, he then asked them why they needed 100 plus friends on Facebook, or 100 followers on Twitter.
Miller asked the students what kinds of social media they were using.
Besides Facebook, students are using accounts with Twitter, Instagram, Pintrest and Snap Chat.

Annual Family Fair this ThursdayThursday, April 18,
will mark the 62nd anniversary of the Princeton Secondary School Family Fair. The fair raises funds for bursaries for the graduating class of Princeton Secondary School.
The community has been very sup-portive in the past and once again we are asking for your assis-tance. While you are at the fair make sure you check out the Art Show in the school band room. We are hoping to have a good display of artwork from students at John Allison, Vermilion Forks and Princeton Secondary School.
Come and check out the white elephant sale, books and baking, we also have a selection of house plants and some bedding plants for sale. The ever popular games for the younger mem-bers in the family will be manned by the Class of 2013.
Tea will be served in the PSS Cafeteria, so you can plan a break from your shopping and meet friends for refreshments while being served by the 2013 Princeton Ambassador Candidates.
Tickets are now available for the popular “Taste of Princeton” raffle which has one prize of several gift certificates to many of Princeton
restaurants. Tickets are available from any Grad or at the
Fair. The draw will take place at 3:00 p.m. on April 18, 2013.
We are still looking for household articles you may wish to donate. We appreciate all “garage sale” items (no used clothing please), toys and puzzles, plants, books, jewellery and handicrafts – preferably in good clean condi-tion. As well we need donations of breads, buns and baking. Articles may be dropped off at Princeton Secondary School or call Lisa for pick up at 295-3535.
The 2013 Grads look forward to seeing you at the fair on Thursday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
The 62nd annual Family Fair hosted by the graduates of Princeton Secondary has games for the kids to play, bake table, and plenty of shop-ping for those looking for a great deal.

What if you could clear out some clutter as part of your Earth Day activities? What if your children could help green the environment at the same time?
Let’s face it: your kids probably have electronic toys that are obsolete, broken or otherwise rel-egated to the back of the closet or the bottom of the toy basket. Unearth those forgotten toys that you’ll fix “some day”.
Now there is a way to give those old electronic toys new life. Don’t toss them, recycle them!
British Columbia is the first province in Canada to offer free, safe recycling for all kinds of electronic toys, from talking stuffies to remote control vehicles to gaming devices.• Plush textiles with electronics, including dolls and stuffies • Metal or hard plastic toys with electronics • Remote control vehicles • Ride on vehicles • Hand-held game devices • Gaming devices with PC/TV
• Electronic promotional items, like those sold with meals Every electronic toy is carefully dismantled in the recycling process, and all of its components are sorted and made into a wide variety of new items. Every bit of a toy that can be recycled – from plastics to circuit boards to various metals – is turned into something new and useful. Even old batteries never die, they too will be recycled.
The news gets better! From April 19th to May 5th you will be able to recycle electronic toys at the Riverside Recreation Centre, 148 Old Hedley Road.
After this collection event you can call the Recycling Hotline at 1-800-667 4321 to find the collection depot nearest your community.
You can also check the Depot Finder at www.cbrsc.ca. CBRSC is the Canadian Brandowners Residuals Stewardship Corporation, which is working with the Canadian Toy Association to recycle electronic toys across BC.
So, ask the kids to clean out their closets and have an even happier Earth Day!

School District #58 is currently in the budget planning process for the 2013/14 school year and the board is looking for input from the public.
As part of the consultation process, a meeting was held in Princeton on April 4. If you missed the meeting the board invites you to take part in the process by visiting www.sd58.bc.ca and filling out the Budget Survey.
On the website, you can also read through the overview of the districts budget planning process.
During the public meeting secretary treasur-er, Kevin Black explained that the majority of School District #58’s (Princeton and Merritt schools) funding consists of operating grants of $24.15 million from the province for the year.
The base rate for provincial funding per stu-dent is $6,900. For special education needs the funds are $9,200 Level 3, $18,300 Level 2 and $36,600 for Level 1, the majority of special needs come in at Level 3.
Declining student population results in declin-
ing provincial funding. Enrolment projections for the district show a drop of about 40 students, however an increase in students with special needs.
“We have .38 per cent of the provincial enrol-ment and 0.5 per cent of the special education students,” said Black.
Both parents and trustees present at the meet-ing agreed the proportion of special education students was high.
Presently the the funding for the district which comes from “funding protection” will be protected to 98.5 per cent of the previous September fund-ing level. This means however, School District #58 will receive $360,000 less for the 2013/14 year.
Even if more than the projected amount of students enrol, the district will not receive any extra funding.
On May 6 a stakeholders meeting will be held in Merritt and the budget will be presented to the board for approval on May 8. if you wish to have the opportunity to provide your input prior to, be sure to visit www.sd58.bc.ca

A new revenue-sharing agreement will enable the Upper Similkameen Indian Band and Lower Similkameen Indian Band to benefit from the Copper Mountain Mine, located southwest of Princeton.
Through an Economic and Community Development Agreement (ECDA), the two First Nations will receive a share of mineral tax rev-enues collected by the Province from Copper Mountain Mine. The agreement also contains a comprehensive consultation process that commits to working with the Bands for all potential future mining activity related to the ongoing operation of the Copper Mountain Mine.
The agreement is the fifth ECDA that the B.C. government has reached to help First Nations benefit from mining activity within their tra-ditional territories. These agreements build on the BC Jobs Plan commitment to reach 10 new non-treaty agreements with First Nations by 2015. The Copper Mountain ECDA is the 13th non-treaty agreement the B.C. government has reached since the BC Jobs Plan launch.
The agreement also supports the B.C. Jobs Plan commitment to support existing jobs and create new jobs through the expansion of existing mines and the establishment of new mines.
The agreement will provide the Upper Similkameen and Lower Similkameen Indian Bands the resources to make community-based
decisions regarding how they would like to achieve social and economic objectives, which include enhancing the well-being of their com-munities and citizens.
Upper Similkameen Indian Band Chief Charlotte Mitchell -
“Our Smelqmix and Syilx Chiefs and Councils have been petitioning the Province to share the wealth of the resources in our territories for a long time (on record since the time of Sir Wilfred Laurier 1910). We see this agreement as a small step in the right direction; it will be very beneficial to our Elders and children and our future genera-tions. Many thanks to all of our people that had a part in getting us to this day.”
Lower Similkameen Indian Band Chief Robert Edward -
“Revenue sharing is the concept that our Ancestral Leaders agreed to in 1910 through the Sir Wilfred Laurier Memorial where revenues for resources would be shared on a Government to Government basis. The mineral tax represents a partial sharing of resource benefits to Indigenous Peoples in this area for resources where lands have never been given over, ceded or surrendered. As a cost of doing business, proponents will be expected to fulfil their obligation to contribute to indigenous peoples for the resources being extracted from portions of traditional territory in which they operate.”

Community cleans up April 21Lisa Carleton
Earth Day is April 22, 2013. To honour this day, local Johanna Nott has taken it upon her-self to organize a clean up day for Princeton on Sunday, April 21.
Community clean up has not taken place for the last few years and she feels that we “need to bring this town pride activity back into practice.”
Nott issued a challenge to the local schools and Vermilion Forks and John Allison have accepted that challenge and will be doing their part to clean up during Monday, the official Earth Day.
On Monday, April 15 Nott shared her plan with Council asking that they support her initia-tive by waiving landfill fees, providing garbage bags, gloves, litter sticks and vests for a commu-nity clean up day to be held on Sunday, April 21.
Council was pleased to offer their support, including a commendation and thank you for her efforts.
Nott smiled with appreciation and invited all of Council to come out and join her on Sunday.
The clean up will begin at the Princeton Arena, at 10 a.m. and run through to 2 p.m.
Vermilion Trail Society members and Cooper’s Foods will provide hot dogs and juice at Two Rivers Park for lunch.
Nott extends an invitation to all residents to come out and clean up their community. “The more hands there is , the better it goes,” she said.

Province’s destiny rests with votersSpotlightOPINION
VICTORIA – As the B.C. NDP launched its elec-tion campaign last week with a package of income tax hikes, higher than those in the B.C. Liberals’ election budget of February, a third party leader confirmed his own plan to increase personal and business income tax rates.
It’s not readily apparent from his recently released “fiscal framework” document, but B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins told me his plan to phase out B.C.’s carbon tax does indeed include raising income tax rates that were lowered to make the carbon tax “revenue neutral.”
I reached Cummins in Prince George, where he was continuing his aggressive courtship of northern B.C. with an announcement that federal gas tax rev-enues would be redirected to a new fund for locally determined road improvements. Earlier he vowed to study the deplorable state of northern ambulance service.
Cummins has more good news for the north: that’s where a region-ally phased elimination of the carbon tax would begin. It’s also the area of thinnest population, meaning the impact on the B.C. treasury would be less. This is, after all, a tax budgeted to bring in $1.2 billion in the current year.
The B.C. Conservatives continually remind people that the carbon tax falls disproportionately on rural, remote and particularly north-ern folks who face long distances, long winters, and public transit options ranging from slim to none. This has ceased to be much of an issue for the urban B.C. majority, who are focused on bridge tolls, ferry fares and the like.
The B.C. Conservatives decry the population decline of rural B.C., with international immigration almost exclusively going to big cities, while temporary foreign workers increasingly fill agricultural and industrial jobs in the Interior. The party’s still-evolving platform echoes the NDP’s call for more skills training and increased comple-tion rates for trade apprentices.
Cummins is in favour of the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipe-
line and the massive buildup of infrastructure needed to add liquefied natural gas to B.C.’s energy export mix. He sees that enormous industrial expansion as the path to shift population growth beyond the south of the province.
Cummins is surprisingly cool to one industrial proj-ect, the proposed Site C dam on the Peace River, calling himself undecided. He also sounds skeptical about the B.C. Liberal plan to extend B.C.’s electricity grid and use that to develop further independent power.
This sounds to me like political positioning rath-er than economic analysis. An anti-Site C indepen-dent candidate has significant support in Peace River North, creating a three-way struggle for a key B.C. Conservative target.
The B.C. Conservative platform also totals up the billions in long-term electricity contracts with private power producers and sug-gests the price for this clean energy has been set too high. This is another echo of the NDP’s vague position.
So if the B.C. Conservatives are gung-ho on oil and gas and think the carbon tax is a mistake, do they think there should be any effort to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions?
Cummins sidestepped that question, preferring to talk about conventional air pollution, whether it’s in the Fraser Valley or as a byproduct of a northern industrial boom.
As a long-time former Reform and Conservative MP, Cummins is acutely aware that the urban media will leap with extra vigour on any perceived gaffe of the right wing. Should a Conservative let slip that he’s skeptical about global warming, or worse, express a rustic view on social issues, all Hell would break loose.
The B.C. Conservatives have started with the most detailed, costed platform of any party. Don’t count them out.

Sam Hancheroff, the NDP candidate for Boundary Similkameen, said it clearly, but it’s a sentiment that is no doubt shared by all the can-didates in the upcoming provincial election.
“The biggest thing I am telling people is to vote,” said Hancheroff. “This is going to be a very important election. There are a lot of issues, but we need to make sure we vote.”
In addition to Hancheroff, candidates in Boundary Similkameen include Liberal Linda Larson and Mischa Popoff of the Conservatives. In the Penticton riding, the candidates are Liberal Dan Ashton, the NDP’s Dick Cannings and Doug Maxwell with B.C. First.
We all have opinions, and over the next month, as the various parties try to convince us they are the best choice, you are going to hear more opin-ions than you would likely care to. You may even venture a few yourself.
But it all comes to nothing if you don’t vote. In the last provincial election, in 2009, voter turnout hit a record low of 51 per cent, far below the 58 per cent turnout in 2005. And while Penticton and Boundary Similkameen can pat themselves on the back for beating the provincial average (53 and 58 per cent, respectively) it is still nothing to brag about.
Sixty per cent has long been considered a typi-cal voter turnout. Such a low expectation of the voting public is somewhat sad. There are all sorts of clichés we could spout off to encourage you to vote: ‘Change starts with you;” “Your vote counts;” etc. You’ve heard them all before.
But the simple truth is that the vast majority of the electorate has an opinion. And elections are the one and only time you can turn an opinion into reality, simply by checking off a box.
So as the election campaign rolls through the province over the next month, listen closely, form your opinion, and finally, put that opinion into action by voting on May 14.

The Princeton Hospital Auxiliary presented a cheque for $5000 to Lynn Pelly, executive director of Princeton and District Community Services on Wed., April 10. This donation adds to the funds presented by the Princeton Fish and Game Association the week prior.
To date, $7000 of the funds needed for the industrial bathtub has been donated to Community Services—another $8000 to go.
“Thank you very much,” says Lynn Pelly as she accepts the donation from Char Smith, presi-dent of the Hospital Auxiliary.
The Princeton Hospital Auxiliary donates to a broad spectrum of local healthcare services and to services with the Penticton Regional Hospital (PRH).
Recently they were able to donate $2200 to the Meals on Wheels program to cover the cuts to program funding. They purchased a Hypothermia Blanket for Princeton Ground Search and Rescue (approximate cost $1785) and they donated $5000

AUXILIARY - from page 7to the neonatal unit at PRH, as well as the
donation for the tub.The people of Princeton and area donate
to the auxiliary store and they also shop there. “This is community helping community,” said Ann Middleton, 2nd vice-president and manager of the Auxiliary Thrift Shop store, “it’s how it is all done.”
There are about 40 members in the Princeton Hospital Auxiliary, 31 of them work in the Thrift
Shop store. New members are always welcomed.Middleton says that the average age of the
ladies working at the store is about 65. There are a couple of ladies in their 90s, “and they work rings around us,” she said.
The Thrift Shop operates Wednesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Auxiliary gratefully accept donations at the door, but ask that no large furniture or appli-ances be left there.
PRINCETON - A transfer of Crown land to the Town of Princeton provides for the future expan-sion of the regional airport and supports the ongoing prosperity of the region, announced Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Bill Bennett on April 9.
This Crown grant transfers approximately 21 hectares surrounding the Princeton Regional Airport. The land is an integral part of aircraft approach and take-off as its addition would allow for the expan-sion of the runway and facilities to increase airport capacity.
“We are grateful to the B.C. government for this Crown land grant to the Town of Princeton. Our town is one of the main gateways into the B.C. Southern Interior.
This land transfer enables the expansion of our airport, which will enhance access to our commu-nity - making it more inviting to visitors and helping us boost our economy in the tourism and business sectors.” ~ Mayor of Princeton Frank Armitage.
The Crown land being transferred is a portion of the property considered to be included when the federal government ceded ownership of the airport to the Town of Princeton in 1996. This Crown land grant corrects the oversight. The Princeton Regional Airport has been in operation for over 70 years and provides an important transportation link to the area.
“A goal of the B.C. government is to support actions that make our communities favourable to growth and development. Transferring this land will not only correct a past oversight, but provide for the future expansion of the airport which plays a central role in the vitality of the town and surround-ing regions.” ~ Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Bill Bennett -

LESSON - from page 1Most social media accounts are not supposed
to be used by children under the age of 13.However, by changing the year in which they
are born, children have easy access to these accounts.
Miller explained how easy it is to get infor-mation like your personal home address from the information you have posted in your social media accounts. “Its easy to do on the inter-net,” he said, “ get your name from Facebook or Twitter, then on to 411 Canada to get your address and phone number.”
While speaking with the students Miller was able to get them to realize the unsafe practices there were with social media devices as well as how distracting they could be. Students agreed that their cell phones were a distraction dur-ing class time, while doing homework and even while they were sleeping.
“We need to change the way we talk to each other,” he said.
He encouraged the students to “be leaders in their community.” He asked them to go home and speak with their parents, evaluate and learn to use the internet and their social media devices in a safe manner and to “find a balance” — like not having their cell phone in class.
Many people believe that what they send out using social media devices just gets “absorbed into cyber-space” and that information is not collected or stored. In fact, it’s just the opposite. Information right down to your IP address, device information and your passwords are stored. If you want to learn more, visit the pri-vacy policy of your social media applications.
Jesse Miller captures the attention of thestudents at VFE while teaching them about social media and internet safety.

Local flying club offers introduction to aviationThe Penticton
Flying Club is again offering our COPA For Kids Program this spring. This is a nation wide program spon-sored locally by the Pentiction Flying Club Flight #50 chapter of the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association. This annual free event is open to all young folks between 8 and 17 years of age.
The participants will be provided a “ground school” ses-sion with a static dis-play aircraft and a pre-flight walk around with a local pilot, who will explain various aircraft parts, flight control surfaces and aviation terminology.
The participants then load up into club members’ air-craft for a 20 minute flight around the valley. All pilots have donated their time, fuel and aircraft in order to introduce our young folks to aviation.
This event will run at Princeton Airport terminal building on April 27 beginning at 9:30 a.m.
An information brochure and registration form is available on line at www.princeton.ca or at Princeton Town Hall. For more information call the Recreation and Culture Office at 250-295-6067. A maximum of 50 kids will be able to partici-pate at this event. Early registration is key to participation.
Every participant must have a completed registration/waiver form signed by parent or guardian prior to the flight.
Register early to ensure a spot.

Princeton, BC – The Honourable Joe Oliver, Canada’s Minister of Natural Resources, and Karen Leibovici, President of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) and councillor for the City of Edmonton, Alberta, announced a Green Municipal FundTM (GMF) grant for the Town of Princeton. The town put the $59,840 in funding toward a soil vapour assessment and detailed site investigation of a property next to the town hall.
“Our Government is assisting municipalities across the country in achieving their goal of a cleaner and healthier environment for Canadians through the Green
Municipal Fund,” said Minister Oliver. “This announcement is another example of how our government — in partnership with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities — is helping communities like Princeton build a greener future for its citizens.”
“The Green Municipal Fund offers a range of resources and services that specifically address the sustainable community development needs of municipal governments,” said Leibovici. “The financing and knowledge provided by the Fund supports the development of communities that are more environmentally, socially and economically sustainable.”
Princeton will assess the health risks and level of contami-nation, and develop a remediation strategy for a brownfield prop-erty next to its town hall.
The remediated property will form the cornerstone of Princeton’s civic pre-cinct with a building constructed on LEED principles such as ener-gy efficiency, water conservation and local procurement. The site redevelopment will centralize municipal and provincial gov-ernment services in a pedestrian-oriented civic centre. The new public square will help revitalize downtown Princeton and reduce urban sprawl.
The study results and all remediation activities will be docu-mented on the town’s website; allowing other communities to follow Princeton’s progress and encouraging them to revitalize their own brownfield sites.
“Council is pleased to have the fund-ing support from the Green Municipal Fund,” said Mayor Frank Armitage. “It has enabled us to carry out the soil vapour assessment and the detailed site investiga-tion.”
The Government of Canada endowed the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) with $550 million to establish the Green Municipal Fund™. The Fund supports partnerships and leveraging of both public and private-sector funding to reach higher standards of air, water and soil quality, and climate protection.
FCM has been the national voice of municipal governments since 1901. It fosters the development of sustainable communi-ties to improve qual-ity of life by promoting strong, effective, and accountable municipal government.

A grand entrance to the Princeton Airport is in the works

A very “big toy” they all happen to love is being put together at the entrance of the Princeton Airport by a group of men who are keen on aviation history.
Roy Harker, Hank Rabe, (photo right) Gary Harker and Glen Sellers have been working diligently to piece a 420 T-33 Jet together in order to place it upon a pedestal, where it will remain as a dedication to the Princeton Air Cadets—Squadron 217.
What began as coffee shop talk years ago has finally become reality. Roy Harker acquired the T-33 from his friend, Captain Dave Eccott, of Flightcraft, Kelowna.
“The Canadian government sent the T-33’s (training jets) to Bolivia in the 60s, said Harker, when they were done, they were sent back to B.C., for rebuilding.”
Harker said that he estimates about $7000 in equipment donations has helped the group with the project so far. (Man hours not included)
Assistance from, Mac Lind, Rollo Ceccon, Gary LeDuke, Burke Bullington, John Bey, Dana Stevens, Jamie Hassell and Envirogreen has been instrumental and appreciated. Ed Muckle of Image Emporium is currently working on all the decals for the jet.
Watch for updates on the groups progress in future editions of The Similkameen Spotlight.
Roy Harker points to the bottle in the nose which will be used as a time capsule.
When complete, the T-33 will rotate upon a pedestal, complete with flashing lights marking the entrance to the Princeton Airport.

BLAZE - from page 1
The blaze spread rapidly due to the very large amount of debris and vehicles located on the property. Photos show the fire during and the aftermath.

Fighting the blaze was extra difficult due to the fact the property con-tained outbuildings, numerous vehicles, old lumber and large amounts of debris. Fuel tanks, propane tanks and tires were exploding left, right and centre adding to the blaze that had spread to the trees as well.
FortisBC was called out to disconnect the power, Princeton RCMP and BC Ambulance attended and remained on scene as back-up for the firefight-ers.
Six thousand gallons of water from the engine and tanker plus untold thousands more pumped out of Chain Lake was used to fight the fire, finally contained by 3 a.m. Saturday morning.
The volunteer firefighters returned two times on Saturday to deal with “hot spots” due to the amount of debris on the property.
It was learned that the owner of the home had a dog that had perished in the fire, however thankfully the volunteers had been able to save all the residences surrounding the property.
“We are so proud of our fire department and so glad there was no wind,” said Glover.
“Kudos to our fire department, they were excellent,” he said.

CAPRICORN: Capricorn, lay low for awhile rather than drumming up some trouble. Tempting as it is to stir the pot, it may cause more difficulties for you in the long run.
AQUARIUS: Aquarius, although you have a few projects on your to-do list, you can’t seem to get started. Instead of looking at the entire list, tackle one task at a time and you’ll get the job get done.
PISCES: Pisces, turn your thoughts to creative efforts and you’ll find the days will just fly by. Before you know it, the weekend will be here.
ARIES: Aries, take time to sort through some of the paperwork on your desk. You could find there is something important that you overlooked that needs to be addressed.
TAURUS: There are a few things you can’t seem to work out in your head, Taurus. A better idea may be to put everything on paper and perhaps the answer will jump out.
GEMINI: Gemini, there will be a few moments this week when you seem to have a breakthrough. Maybe it’s in a relationship or you have just the right answers at work.
CANCER: Surprising events are in store as you continue to change your views about life-altering events, Cancer. You may find your master plan is entirely turned on its head.
LEO: Leo, your energy level is so revved up that others won’t be able to keep up with you. You may have to slow down a little to let others catch up.
VIRGO: Virgo, others find it difficult to change your opinion once you have your mind set on something. But it still helps to consider if the direction you’re heading is the right way.
LIBRA: Libra, you may be feeling a little homesick, especially if you are away on business or on vacation. Try to make the most of the situation even if you’re feeling nostalgic.
SCORPIO: Scorpio, if it seems like nothing is going your way, keep in mind there is a master plan in the works. You may not be able to see the resolution, but just be patient.
SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, there are a few puzzle pieces that you need to get into place and then you’ll have everything worked out. Reward yourself with a night out.
FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY
Enjoy a Classic Diner Dessert at Home
Perhaps no dessert dish is as beloved as the banana split. And as any good banana split afficio-nado knows, diners often make a great banana split with fudge sauce.
For those who want to bring their favorite dessert out of the diner and into their own kitchens, it’s not as hard as it sounds, and you won’t have to worry about ice cream melting in the car. Dessert lovers who enjoy making their own banana splits should consider the following recipe for “Banana Splits With Hot Fudge Sauce” from Jennifer Joyce’s “Diner” (Ryland, Peters & Small), a comforting collection of recipes from the roadside diner.
Banana SplitS With hot Fudge Sauce
Serves 4
4 small bananas4 scoops each of strawberry, vanilla and
chocolate ice cream
4 maraschino cherries1/2 cup chopped, toasted pecans
Hot fudge sauce3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped3/4 cup heavy cream2 tablespoons butter1/4 cup light corn syrup1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract1/2 cup sugar
Whipped cream1 cup heavy cream1 tablespoon superfine sugar1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
To make the hot fudge sauce, put the chocolate, cream and butter in a medium saucepan. When melt-ed, add light corn syrup, tvanilla extract and sugar, stirring constantly over medium heat. When nearly boiling, turn the heat down to low and simmer for 15 minutes without stirring.
Let cool for 5 minutes before using.To make the whipped cream, beat the heavy
cream with the sugar and vanilla, and set aside. Peel the bananas and cut in half lengthwise. Take the dessert dishes and along the sides of each one, put 2 banana halves. Put one scoop of each flavor of ice cream between the bananas. Top with one spoonful of the whipped cream, a sprinkling of pecans and a cherry on top. Serve with a small pitcher of the hot fudge sauce to pour over. PC114623

WHARTON, Robert (Keith) August 3, 1969 - March 30, 2013
It is with deepest sorrow that the family of Keith Wharton announce his
tragic passing on March 30, 2013 at the age of 43.
Keith will be greatly missed by his four children;
Cody, Cate, Savannah & Rebecca, his mother Carol, siblings; Steve
(Theresa), Deb (Rick) & Cheri, as well as by his numerous nieces & nephews.
Keith ran Wharton Welding with his dad for a few years, before his passing.
A celebration of Keith’s life will be held at the Princeton Legion on August 3, 2013 from 1 - 4 p.m.
“I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work and play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,I found that peace at close of the day.
If my parting has left a void,then fi ll it with remembered joy.
The friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,and yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow,I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.”
Shirley and Dale Blomme are very happyto announce the engagement of their daughter,
Tennille Randine Sawin to Chad Micheal Good on March the 25th at the Grand Canyon at sunrise.
Destination wedding to take place at a later date.
We couldn’t be more pleased....

As I write this I’m listening to my favorite music. When I glance around the room, I see textiles that we’ve collected over the years such as an Indonesian ulos that was a gift from my daughter-in-law’s relatives, a spectacular piece of Indian weav-ing brought back for me by my brother on his travels and a very old throw made by a long forgotten Ukrainian woman. We have tried to make our surroundings beautiful with smaller objects that remind us of our past adventures as well as important people in our lives.
Even though we live in a tiny space, it is still made wonderful with paintings, glasswork, pot-tery and prints that all have stories and memories attached.
I can’t even begin to imagine my life without art and craft of every kind. Having just returned from the city and a visit with my four year old granddaughter, I spent time watching her draw in her family journal. It is a miracle to see how com-pletely natural art making is to such a young soul. She uses the activity to express and illustrate her feelings, joys and even her difficult times. We seem to be born with a primal sense of how important the arts are to all parts of our lives.
This leads me to ask what our world would be like without art. I figure we’ve become inured to the jumble of signs, logos, telephone wires and poles and all the unnatural shapes that tend to overwhelm most places where folks live and work. So, let’s just have a look around for a few minutes at our own space
here in Princeton. If we covered with a large grey sheet all the lovely human made structures, arts of all disciplines and all the decorative aspects found around town, what would we have left? I live downtown so I would start with the gazebo in town square, the lampposts, murals, very old houses large and small. I would have to cover the flower arrangements and gardens. Then, it would be the books in the library (literary arts), the
entire Sunflower Gallery - you get the picture!I realize that nobody wants to live without elec-
tricity and everything that goes with ease of living, but I do believe that we can still preserve and keep visible the loveliness and peace that the arts can bring. I’ve spoken to visitors who have never been to Princeton before and they have exclaimed over the cleanliness and beauty of Vermilion Avenue.
They are charmed by the old Brown Bridge and the Town Square and the rest from their trav-els that it offers. I know exactly what they’re talk-ing about. That’s the kind of joy beauty through the arts brings to me!
PS - Gary Smart, the young fellow I wrote about in my last column, is donating all his earnings from his book. All proceeds from the sale of the book are donated to Vancouver Canucks Autism Network, www.canucksautism.ca.
Books are available at The Hitching Post in Tulameen, Books N’ Things in Penticton and Ounce of Prevention in Princeton.
