COMEDY - The Crimson Tine Players are putting on Glorious, a true story about a New York socialite who desperately wants to be a operatic diva despite having an awful voice.

Michaela Garstin/Spotlight

Princeton residents will vote for their new mayor on Aug. 11, replacing former mayor Fred Thomas who died in early May from prostate cancer.

An advanced poll will take place on Aug. 1 for those who cannot make it on the regular day.

No one has confirmed to the Spotlight they are running for mayor, and candidates have from June 26 to July 8 to announce they are running.

Thomas beat incumbent Randy McLean by just over 200 votes in the November election. Around 45 percent of Princeton residents cast their ballots.

Shirley MaMahon, who is also deputy treasurer, was appointed chief election officer for the by-election.

If a member of town council chooses to run for mayor, he or she must resign from council by June 18.

Election date set

The Crimson Tine Players are putting on comedic play Glorious, a true story of a legendary New York heiress and socialite who wanted to be a great operatic diva despite having one of the worst singing voices in history.

The play is at the Riverside Theatre on June 8, 9, 15 and 16 at 7 p.m. and June 10 and 17 at 2 p.m.

Socialite Florence Foster Jenkins uses all her money, charm and unstoppable will-power to make her singing career happen.

Who would believe this flamboyant, energetic lady would dare

to perform for her many womens clubs when she was laughed at, mocked and made fun of?

She was a truly wonderful person who lived life to the fullest, regardless of what people thought.

The soprano voice she heard in her head is beautiful, and it never occurs to her this is not the sound coming from her mouth.

The characters are played by Esther Donovan (Florence), Josh Herzog (Cosme), Britt Fraser (St. Clair), Rhianfa Riel (Dorothy) and Carla Friesen (Marie and Verrinder Gedge).

New ZigZag Trail contract awarded

An new elaborate ZigZag Trail will soon con-nect Second Bench to downtown, costing just over $206,000.

Mierau Contractors beat out four other compa-nies with the lowest bid. Provincial funding made up $180,000, with the rest being paid for by Federal Gas Tax funding and ICBC.

The new ZigZag Trail will replace the out-of-commission trail that was destroyed by a run-away truck two years ago.

COMMUNITY CALENDAR

Protesters held a second rally in a week as Interior Health Authority representatives met privately with Princeton town council on May 28.

A crowd asked IHA employees how they were planning to bring back 24/7 emergency department care to Princeton.

“We’re here to send Interior Health... a message that if they’re not going to come to our community with a solution, we’re done talk-ing with them,” said Save Our Hospital Coalition president Spencer Coyne at the rally.

Save Our Similkameen president Solana Allison said she didn’t expect the meeting to produce a solution.

“We have heavy industry that runs 24/7 shifts, but

we have no 24/7 ER. Employers are concerned with issues with liability and concerned with workers’ safety,” she said.

Two external agencies will be used to help recruit locums, said Acting Mayor Jason Earle.

“IHA and town council are going to be working together to find a stable solution for years to come,” he said.

The trick to providing complete ER coverage is to attract locums and eventually a new doctor, said IHA senior medical director Jon Slater after the

meeting.“The long-term (solution)

is to bring physicians to town to establish practice... In the short-term we need to get people from out of town to

help us out,” he said.Protesters held another rally on May 22 when

Interior Health representatives met with local busi-ness managers and politicians. Princeton Hospital emergency department is closed from midnight to 8 a.m. Monday to Thursday.

Allan Bloore shows off his replica Euro-fighter plane painted bright orange and yellow. Michaela Garstin/Spotlight

Not your average mini aircraftNot your average mini aircraft

Miniature replica airplanes designed in precise detail are a passion for Bart Ramsay, organizer of a group of fliers who brightened the skies in Princeton on the first weekend in June.

Many of the jets are exact models of big-ger aircraft, with tiny windows, doors and wheels.

The planes even use real jet fuel or kero-sine for power.

“These are not toys, they’re real airplanes. Some can go up to 200 miles an hour,” said Ramsay as he gave the Spotlight a tour of the 20-plus aircraft being prepared to fly.

Many people start with smaller remote-

control planes and move on to bigger ones, like Allan Bloore who owns a bright orange and yellow Euro-fighter.

The airplane isn’t considered an exact replica because it’s painted non-traditional colours, but is still precisely designed to the last detail, including a miniature pilot inside.

“We like to fly in Princeton because it has a great area to fly, and the wives can get out and do something too,” Ramsay said.

Flying miniature aircraft seems to be a man’s game - all pilots in Princeton were indeed male.

Pilots from Alberta and the United States were also drawn to the 13th annual event. Many brought two planes, which can range in value from $2,000 to $15,000.


See STORY - Page 12

The seemingly exotic names of birds I had never heard of echoed in the Riverside Centre as I met 70 other people to begin our field trip in search of sought after owls, swal-lows and tanagers in Princeton.

The 5 a.m. meeting time was way too early for me, but I didn’t get any sympathy for having only four hours sleep. The birders had been out until 1 a.m. the night before looking for the illusive Flammulated Owl near Copper Mountain.

I felt out of place among the birders decked-out in binoculars, long-range cameras and bird iden-tification books. Nevertheless, we

set out along the KVR trail to spot specific birds - many unique to the Okanagan area.

They spotted a couple of small Northern Ruffling Swallows in a tree a few minutes into our trip.

It takes a trained eye to see the camouflaged birds. I stared in the direction of the way were pointing, but couldn’t see anything.

“We can identify the birds by their sound. Sometimes it’s good enough just to hear them,” said the conference’s organizer Wayne Diakow.

Despite being blind to birds, I soon noticed a beaver floating down the rapid Similkameen River.

It stopped right in front of us, got half out of the water and waited. A beaver dam stood on the other side

of the path, so we backed up and gave the surprisingly big rodent room to pass.

After the excite-ment we were back to bird watching.

The day before the group saw 62 birds, each precise-ly identified in a notebook for record

purposes. The birders had finely-

tuned ears, able to hear sounds I would dismiss.

Another bird call caused us to stop while the group tried to figure out what they were hearing.

“That’s a Veery, that has to be a Veery,” said one birder who was confident in her answer.

The others agreed - this bird was easy to identify.

“It calls ‘veer-veer,’ that’s why it’s called a Veery,” the birders told me.

They said that as a nov-ice bird watcher I wouldn’t be able to identify birds right away.

Naming birds can be an interesting topic, said Diakov, who has been look-ing for birds for 40 years.

The beautiful blue Lazuli bird we spotted is named after the colour of a semi-precious stone, another birder told me while show-ing me a photo in a book he brought along.

Next we heard a bird with a screeching-type voice.

The birders disagreement

on the species was interrupted by a rooster loudly announcing the morning - a bird we weren’t inter-ested in seeing.

The Clark’s Nutcracker - a friendly bird that tourists often feed

by hand in Manning Park - was named after the 19th century trans-continental Lewis and Clark expe-dition.

Daikov first became interested in the world of birds when he saw his father in the once-popular hobby of collecting eggs in Alberta. At his father’s direction he would climb on trees to retrieve the eggs from their nests.

We later came across a Cat Bird - named so because of its cat-like mewing.

I would have thought it was a kitten trapped in the bushes if I hadn’t know better.

When the field trip was over, the birders headed back to the Riverside Centre to wrap up their weekend of conferences and guest speaker presentations, including topics about Similkameen-area birds, global warming and results of habitat impact studies.

Wounded Warrior Outdoors members Robin Lee, Ron Raboud and Sgt. Matt Amos spot a bear in the distance that ultimately got away.

Lu Le

A group of wounded marines from San Diego made the long trip to Princeton in mid-May for a spring bear hunt, proving they can still shoot despite having lost limbs overseas.

The American men, who are part of Wounded Warrior Outdoors, had to change the way they usually use a gun after they were injured in Afghanistan and Iraq.

“Getting the bears isn’t the real pur-pose of the trip. It’s to get [the marines] out of the hospital and overcome their injuries,” said Wounded Warrior Outdoors member Ron Raboud, who owns a ranch near Princeton.

Six recently injured marines and one man from the army were cho-sen by their doctors at Balboa Naval Medical Center in San Diego to go on the trip for therapeutic reasons.

Sgt. Brian Meyer killed the largest bear of the week at a distance of 288 metres.

Meyer was injured in a roadside bomb in Afghanistan, resulting in the loss of his right arm, leg and several fingers on his left hand.

“These injuries required Brian to shoot totally opposite of how he did prior to being injured,” Raboud said.

“This is a tough shot for anyone,

but truly impressive in Brian’s situa-tion.”

Outdoor activities - which also include alligator hunts and fly-fishing in other parts of North America - are meant to be therapeutic to the marines.

Fifty wounded but active marines are selected to take part each year. The organization covers all their travel, board and equipment costs.

Despite having lost limbs, the men were able to make their catch.

Sgt. Matt Amos took the second largest bear on the week, losing out to Meyer by only a few centimetres.

Amos was also injured in a road-side bomb - twice. He was first hit in Iraq, and later lost both his legs in another explosion in Afghanistan.

In spite of having a disability per-mit that allows him to shoot from a vehicle, Amos chose not to use it.

“Instead when the opportunity at the second bear presented itself, Matt exited the truck and walked roughly 100 yards to shoot off a rock. Very impressive,” Raboud said.

“It is their efforts, determination and attitude that make each remark-able.”

The group will be back for their annual bear hunt next May. Their next adventure is fly-fishing in Maine this summer.

If Princeton wins, GlobalBC Morning News will broadcast live from town on June 24.

An individual grand prize winner will receive a $1,300 Cooper’s gift certificate.

Go to GlobalBC’s website to vote for Princeton, Campbell River, Nanaimo or Squamish.

The contest is open until June 10.


The old saying goes that if you like sausages and laws, you shouldn’t watch either one being made.

The legislature’s sausage factory worked overtime to crank out a pile of legislative change before the government choked off debate and shut it down for the summer.

This is after a dozen complicated bills were stuffed into the hopper in the final month.

For the first time in B.C. history, debate was carried on in three separate chambers to try to get through it all.

It created a chaotic scene, with politicians and reporters dashing around trying to create the impression they were on top of it all.

The NDP opposition screamed bloody murder about this trav-esty, especially as the clock ran down last week and bills were assigned a token 30 or 45 minutes to meet the B.C. Liberal govern-ment’s arbitrary deadline.

Alas, what little time was allowed for the opposition to question legislation was largely frittered away with the usual partisan snip-ing that substitutes for alternative ideas.

The good news is that this mad rush wasn’t a calculated scheme to ram through unpopular, unfair measures. Quite the contrary.

The B.C. Liberal government’s back is to the wall, trying to do what the public and circumstances demand and save its own skin.

Here’s a partial list of the marching orders. Get rid of the harmonized sales tax and bring back a computer-

ized version of the old, inefficient provincial sales tax. Unclog the court system, which has become so constipated

that a Stanley Cup riot fool can’t even plead guilty in a reasonable time.

And find a way to make our growing population of urban anar-chists and assorted other deadbeats pay to ride transit.

The HST exercise continues to exact its cost. The unprecedent-ed job of creating a modern system for the archaic sales tax was

the main cause of the legislative logjam, tying up government lawyers and delaying drafting of other bills. Small businesses that paid $3,000 to convert to HST get to pay another $3,000 to go back, and we had all better hope the new com-puter software works.

Speaking of computers, one of the laws passed amid the shouting is one that establishes an online system for disputing traffic tickets.

Police will print out tickets from their cars instead of hand-writing them, and drivers will have an alternative way to argue about whether they really ran that red light.

Fighting a ticket in court now takes seven to 18 months, tying up judges, court registry staff and police.

An administrative system won’t keep them all out of court, but the government hopes to reduce the average resolution time to 90 days and save $8 million a year or more.

A similar administrative system is being established for small civil claims and strata property disputes.

Some legislation is to fix earlier screw-ups. A judge tossed out B.C.’s most heavy-handed administrative penalties for failing a roadside blood alcohol test, so the government brought in a new version that allows for another administrative appeal.

The mistake of making transit operate on a poorly policed “honour system” goes back to Social Credit days. There is finally a system to enforce collection of fines, on those rare occasions when someone is ticketed for taking a free ride.

Even with the last-minute rush, four bills couldn’t be rammed through. Since the legislature will almost certainly have to be recalled to impose a contract on teachers this fall, the government would do well to provide a couple of weeks for orderly debate at that time.

SpotlightOPINION

Staff WriterKeremeos Review

Last week’s deliberate delay of Okanagan Coquihalla MP Dan Albas’ private members bill in Parliament was a textbook example of government ineptitude.

Albas’ Bill C311would amend the Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act, and would make the private shipment of wine between provinces legal, amending legilation dating back to the Prohibition era.

There really hasn’t been - nor should there be - any opposition to this bill, which is basically nothing more than parliamentary housekeeping to amend a law that few people obey, or even know about.

Based on modern markets and economics, pass-ing the bill should have simply been common sense.

Apparently that is something that is lacking amongst certain opposition members who delayed a decision on the bill into the second hour of discus-sion, which isn’t scheduled until October.

Liberal MP Scott Brison has since offered time during his private members date on June 6 to obtain parliamentary support for the bill and move it for-ward before another tourist season is lost to those hoping to increase market share once legal avenues exist.

Taxpayers are fed up with the infantile, parti-san behaviour exhibited by some of our federally elected, overpriced politicians.

Our legislators need not waste any more time on this piece of legislation - in the general context of what is really important, they’ve wasted more than enough time on it already.

On June 6, our MP’s need to pass the bill, get back to more serious business at hand - and quit wasting time.

Pass the wine bill and get back to work

Canada is facing two financial crises due to the demographics of the baby boom.

The first is the ever increasing number of seniors requiring medical care and its associated costs. The second is the escalat-ing pension and old age security costs for those same seniors.

Lots of retirees live in smaller commu-

nities (such as Princeton) because they can no longer afford to live in the cities.

By eliminating health services and clos-ing hospitals in order to “increase the effi-ciencies by centralization” the government will ultimately solve both problems.

The lack of health care will kill off many seniors and then the government will

no longer have to pay them pensions. The conclusion is inescapable. It’s a

win-win situation for the government. Is this cold-hearted? Yes – but when did the government ever care about making you feel warm and fuzzy?

No need for pensions without seniors

I have several questions regarding the reconstruction of the ZigZag trail.

First, what is the historical purpose of the ZigZag trail? I always presumed it was to provide a shorter route for people to walk between the First Bench and down-town.

Now, perhaps to gain funding grants, the planning and major financial emphasis seems to be on the “Princeton Grind”.

This name refers to the metal stair sys-tem that will go straight up the hill with five view points, rest areas.

Most everyone knows that it is easier to move up a hill in a zig-zag pattern, so why invest so much in a stair system that does not provide for ease of movement?

In the plans, the new ZigZag path will remain a dirt trail meeting with the straight stairway at the five rest points.

The straight stair trail will be too strenu-ous for many of the intended users, and the ZigZag path, being dirt, mud, or snow, will

not provide reasonably secure footing in any season, not good for those who cannot handle the “Grind” stair system.

As for safety, the more strenuous straight stair system, even with rest levels, provides a much increased chance for a long tumble.

The metal steps include holes that are large enough to catch heeled shoes, canes, and walking sticks and the grating, should one fall, is more than sharp enough to cause serious damage.

Is there a provision for benches at the rest areas? No.

Is the stairway wide enough to allow for these benches? No.

Is the lighting of the stairway adequate? No. Are there handrails at a child appropri-ate height. No.

Regarding maintenance, our hard work-ing town crew is already pushed to the limit with regular seasonal maintenance and is overwhelmed during snowfalls.

What will be the priority of snow remov-al on the stair system? This seems like yet another safety and liability issue.

Town council has lost sight of the pri-mary purpose of the ZigZag trail. Let’s be real, tourists are not going to stop in Princeton to climb our “Princeton Grind” stair system or to see the town from the viewpoints.

It is a trail intended to provide safe pas-sage for local folk. Let us not work to a bare minimum standard.

Put the stairs in a zig-zag pattern to make them easier to use, follow ADA standards to make the stair system safer, and cover the stairs with a roof. Princeton has one chance to do this, so let’s get it done right.

And for the record, I am not running for a position on town council.

Flaws in new ZigZag Trail plans must be addressed

Dear Minister of Health, Michael de Jong

Recently Princeton Hospital had a visit from Dr. Robert Halpenny, CEO Interior Health Authority.

He spoke with various organizations and business leaders and then addressed citizens of Princeton who were rallying on the road outside the hospital.

We were hoping for some solutions to our problems with the closing of the ER four nights per week and the lack of doc-tors to man the ER.

I was incensed by his attitude towards our situation.

He said that we were not the only hospi-tal with problems and that we should make Princeton more attractive if we wanted more doctors to come to our community.

How insulting, how uncaring, how offensive to suggest that our community was not attractive enough to warrant 24/7

ER services. What was he thinking? We live in a area with working mines,

lumber mill, ranching and other businesses which work 24 hours a day, not to mention the number three highway which is a main truck route to the southern Okanagan.

Mining, lumber and ranching are the basis for the wealth of British Columbia.

Apparently it is OK for Princeton to supply these services and contribute to the economy of the province but we do not deserve a fully functional hospital.

I am a member of the Princeton Hospital Auxiliary and we raise funds for the Princeton hospital, the Ridgewood facility for senior residents who require care as well as the hospital in Penticton.

We have a thrift Store to raise funds and the citizens support the auxiliary by donat-ing clothing etc. and shopping in the store.

We have contributed nearly $100,000 over the past ten years to the Princeton

Hospital alone allowing them to obtain essential equipment for the hospital.

In other words we do the work which should be done by the government thus saving the government money.

We certainly do not deserve to have Dr. Robert Halpenny come to our town and arrogantly and scornfully suggest that we do not deserve emergency services 24/7 or doctors as we are not attractive enough.

He is obviously not interested in doing his job of making sure the rural residents of British Columbia’s interior have adequate hospital facilities.

The residents of Princeton and area are demanding that Interior Health do their job and hire people with the intelligence and skills as well as forward thinking who can do the job they are hired to do.

BASKETBALL - The Princeton Basketball Association was given $500 from the Aaron Heuser Memorial Fund. Michaela Garstin/Spotlight

The memory of a talented Princeton basketball player is living on through a memorial fund that helps youngsters play their favourite game.

Around $10,000 was raised after Aaron Heuser couldn’t be revived because of a heart condition while playing basketball in Kelowna 15 years ago. The money is still being used to help fund b a s k e t b a l l programs in Princeton.

H e u s e r ’ s father gave the Princeton B a s k e t b a l l Association $500 this month from the memorial fund.

The young basketball players are wearing the number 13 on their shirts this

season in memory of Heuser’s number while he played at Princeton Secondary School.

Heuser made Okanagan College’s bas-ketball team after high school but soon after the season started he was put on medi-cal leave because of a heart condition. He

later passed away while playing a three-on-three tournament in Kelowna.

“He passed away doing something he loved. He was a very good player,” said Heuser’s father Ken Heuser.

Shortly after his friends and teammates raised money for a memorial fund that is still being used today. Another $500

was also donated to the Badlands Basketball Club - a program

held for serious basketball players every summer.

Heuser’s memo-ry still lives on in

Princeton. His team number 13 was paint-ed outside the Riverside Centre when he passed

away and every year since

an anonymous friend repaints the

number.Donations can be

made to the Aaron Heuser Memorial Fund by contacting

Sandy Blaire at Princeton Secondary School at 250-295-3218.

The short-comings of Princeton’s health care were up for heated debate between Fraser-Nicola MLA Harry Lali and Minister of Health Michael de Jong at the legislative assembly on May 16.

“I’d like to ask the minister why the B.C. Liberals are abandoning the health care needs of rural com-munities like Merritt, Ashcroft, Cache Creek, Lytton [and] Princeton,” Lali asked de Jong at the meeting.

Lali said Princeton used to have five locums to help with emergency department coverage but currently has none, causing the ER to close from midnight to 8 a.m. four times a week.

“I know the Liberals like to blame doctors, and say: ‘It’s not an issue of finances. It’s an issue of doctors not wanting to come to small towns,” he said.

Lali said Princeton’s health care problem is caused by lack of money, not the number of doctors available to work in B.C.

But de Jong said the solution to Princeton’s health care situation does not involve providing more money.

“The solution, apparently, does not involve the $200,000 in additional funding that was made avail-able to retain additional ER coverage, the $200,000 that Princeton has decided to make available for additional locum coverage, electronic scheduling

and, by the way, the rental of an apartment for $44,000 so that if a locum comes to Princeton, they’ve got a place to stay,” he said.

IHA has “tried as best it can - in an entire-ly non-partisan way - to address [recruitment] challenges that exist,” he said.

In addition, rural British Columbians have better access to doctors compared to the Canadian average, he added.

Lali recently told protesters at a rally that doctors aren’t coming to Princeton because they can’t prac-tice what they learned in medical school, includ-ing surgery and deliver-ing babies.

“In 2000 we had an operating room in Princeton, a 24-7 emer-gency room, a nurse to assess your emergency, an intake nurse for regis-tration, a maternity ward, four doctors covering ER, full-time pharmacy, full-time health techni-cians — X-ray, blood work, etc.,” he said.

Princeton Hospital has since been reduced to having unreliable hours and frequent clo-sures, as well as hav-ing its emergency ward, pharmacy and operating room taken away, he said.

De Jong said funding doctors is not the prob-

lem, it’s finding them, citing that Princeton’s three doctors all make over $390,000 a year.

“To suggest, somehow, that there is an issue around the funding of the primary caregiver in the guise of the doctor is simply inaccurate and untrue,” he said.

Princeton Hospital emergency department is closed from midnight to 8 a.m. Monday to Thursday, and has been on LLTO (life, limb, threatened organ) status in May, where only the most urgent cases have been seen.

The emergency department closures have sparked rallies in Princeton when IHA representatives held private meetings in town.

Lali told a loud group of protesters outside Princeton Hospital on May 22 that doctors aren’t coming to town because the hospital doesn’t provide services they trained hard to learn.

“Doctors and health care professionals are under utilized in small communities because the govern-ment strategically pulled out services and put them in other areas,” he said.

Rural health care up for debate

””“I’d like to ask the minister why the B.C. Liberals are abandoning the health care needs of rural communities...”

FLYING HIGH - Fliers Paul Dries and Kevin Forsyth from the Lower Mainland sit behind their quarter-scale Snowbirds. Michaela Garstin/Spotlight

Continued from Page 3. “Ninety per cent of the planes have

retractable landing gear and brakes. The only thing they don’t have is a pilot or carry people,” said Ramsay as he pointed out the small doors etched into the side of one plane. The jets must be kept in sight at all times so they can be properly con-trolled, he added.

“They can fly very high - out of eye-sight - but that is against our rules.”

Experienced fliers know how to navi-gate strong winds and land their planes smoothly.

“Most of the airplane is taken up with fuel - they’re very hungry, even for a typi-cal five minute flight,” said Ramsay, add-ing they cannot hold anything else but fuel

in the cabins. Flying exact replicas can be tricky

because grey airplanes can camouflage against a cloudy sky. Brightly coloured planes can be seen much easier, Ramsay said.

“Flying takes experience. It can be con-fusing which way to turn the plane - left or right - if it’s high up in the air.

Glorious play

Big Wolf proven innocentBig B. Wolf was proven innocent on all counts at

Princeton Secondary’s production of Big Bad on May 31.

It was up to the audience to decide the wolf’s fate. Luckily for him, they chose to drop the most serious charges of eating sheep and impersonating a grand-mother.

The play was presented by Ms. Friesen’s Grade 9-12 drama class.

Princeton’s participation in the annual Meadowlark Nature Festival was another resounding success this year.

The festival took place through-out the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys on the May long weekend, and in Princeton was organized by Joan Kelly of the Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists.

VFFN offered two field trips and a documentary film, all of which took place on May 18.

Madelon Schouten, Trish Reid and Tony Cherry guided a group around the bird sanctuary at Swan Lake, and although many birds were spotted, one highlight was a Black Swift, uncom-mon in this area. Sue Elwell, Amanda

and Cathy Lahaie led another lot along the KVR trail from the Princeton tun-nel as far as the Hoodoos, and locals and out-of-towners alike were delight-ed to find a Lazuli Bunting, while one first-time visitor to Princeton was so taken with the area she plans to return this summer with her grandchildren.

Thanks to the leaders of these field trips, to Joan and Frank Kelly for host-ing the evening documentary film on wolves and cougars in the Yellowstone and Zion National Parks, and special thanks to the Princeton Arts Council for their support.

VFFN will be hosting the BC Field Ornithologists’ AGM the first week-end in June, while our next club meet-ing, which is open to the public, will offer a presentation on mushrooms. Please join us at Riverside Centre, 7 p.m. on June 12.

Duncan Mackenzie was born on July 19, l981 and passed away December 29, 2011 from injuries suf-fered in an avalanche outside of Pemberton, B.C.

China Ridge Trails Society is hosting “ Duncan’s Ride” which will be a celebration of life for Duncan

Mackenzie of Whistler, B.C. Duncan was well-known to the local biking com-

munity as he was instrumental in the building of the “Rail Trail” mountain bike trail up at China Ridge in 2009 and the “Bike Corral” in Princeton in 2010.

Duncan’s family members and friends will be attending the celebration in Princeton and will spread some of his ashes and unveil plaques at both these locations which were very special to Duncan.

All the volunteers that worked with Duncan and other members of the community are invited to join the activities on June 16.

10 a.m: Event starts at the Bike Corral. Three different bike rides up at China Ridge for all ages and abilities lead by China Ridge members. Shuttles available for riders.

Contact Lisa at [email protected] or Trenna at [email protected] for details

5 p.m: Bike Corral Barbecue and dedication. Cost is by donation. Potluck items will be appreci-ated. Please call Colleen Kunderman @ 250-295-3625 if you would like to contribute. Check out www.chinaridgetrails.com for more details.

We challenge everyone in the Princeton area to pitch in and pick up litter in your area and encourage others not to pitch it out. Whether you play or live in this area you will notice what a difference the lack of litter along the roadside makes.

On May 26 the Friends of Osprey Lake cleaned up over 40 kilometres of roadways and trails around the Osprey Lake, Link Lake and Chain Lake area. Fifteen volunteers gathered two truck loads of gar-bage from the Princeton-Summerland Road and the side roads from Shinish Creek road to the Thirsk Lake area. The items collected included: cigarette packages, butts, plastic bags, drink bottles/cans, fast food containers, a pager, chairs, tires, metal banding, signs etc. This was our fifth annual spring roadside cleanup and our volunteers took approximately 450 kilograms of waste to the Princeton landfill. Special thanks go to Lynne Adams, Norm Christman and Jill Pelland for transporting and unloading it.

We would also like to recognize The TeePee Lakes store which provided free coffee for all par-ticipants and the Osprey Lake Association for post-

ing the event on the website.Finally, we would like to extend sincere thanks

to the Town of Princeton for waiving the disposal fees. Without their support the event would not be possible.

CAPRICORN: Discord turns into harmony with some sage advice from a young friend. Don’t let what could have happened give you false hope, Capricorn.

AQUARIUS: Pinching pennies is what this week is all about, Aquarius. Look for ways you can cut back, and you’ll see a difference in your bottom line.

PISCES: Oh dear, Pisces. An organization is in dire need. Find the time to help and get a friend in on the action. A little planning will go a long way toward making a goal a reality.

ARIES: Heads up, Aries. All is not as it seems, not by a long shot. You’ve been much too busy to notice but that must come to an end now.

TAURUS: Crazy impulses take hold, and you break out of your shell big time. No one knows what to think, but who cares, Taurus. It’s your turn to have some fun.

GEMINI: Footloose and fancy free is a good way to describe you this week, Gemini. You do what you want when you want, and all gets done as scheduled.

CANCER: Pronto, Cancer. The decision must be made and it must be made now. Do your homework. Special treats make for a weekend of glee. Excellent!

LEO: Dream on, Leo. You have so much to do right now you can’t possibly take on something else. Learn the word “no” and mean it. A phone call clues you in.

VIRGO: You’ve danced around the issue long enough, Virgo. Get in there and be the mediator you were always meant to be. A deadline is extended.

LIBRA: Home improvement plans take a back seat to your love life this week, as romantic gestures get the home fi res burning. Get ready for some magic, Libra.

SCORPIO: Want it, Scorpio? Come and get it, and it will be yours. A well-known fact turns out to be fi ction. Don’t let it put a damper on a festive occasion.

SAGITTARIUS: Charge, Sagittarius! Full speed ahead. You’ve got all of the pieces of the pie in place. Don’t let anything hold you back. A memento turns up in a peculiar place.
