Similkameen Spotlight, November 20, 2013

For the third year in a row, Weyerhaeuser’s been named to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, widely considered by investors to be significant recognition of a company’s sus-tainability performance. We’re one of four for-est products companies included in the World Index and one of only two headquartered in North America.

The Index uses a best-in-class approach and includes sustainability leaders from 58 industry sectors. Its annual review is based on an assess-ment of corporate economic, environmental and social performance. It covers issues such as corporate governance, risk management, cus-tomer relationships, climate change strategy and labor practices. Only the top 10 percent — as related to sustainability performance — of the 2,500 largest companies in Dow Jones’ Global Total Stock Market Index can be included in the Sustainability World Index.

“It’s an honour to be considered among the world’s most sustainable companies,” says Doyle Simons, president and CEO. “Especially since, in this changing world, the bar is always rising for what it means to be sustainable — financially, socially and environmentally.”

In addition to the World Index, Weyerhaeuser also has been a member of the Dow Jones North America Index since its inception in 2005. You can learn more about this and about Weyerhaeuser’s sustainability performance in its online sustainability report.

Sustainable on a global scaleDow Jones recognizes Weyerhaeuser as one of the best in the world

We acknowledge the financial support of the Government of Canada through the Canada Periodical Fund (CPF) for our publishing activities.

Residents have voiced concerns over the fact that there will be no medical clinc in the downtown core for them to visit to see a doctor.

Dr. Smith, who recently announced his retirement did offer to rent his clinic to Interior Health, however, the offer was turned down.

“We appreciate Dr. Smith’s generous offer and have seri-ously considered it,” said Susan Brown, Community Integrated Health Services’ Administrator.

Having the new doctors in one location provides the oppor-tunity for mentoring and the development of a collegial work-

ing relationship within the team. Brown explains that working from one clinic would be more

viable financially versus having the added expenses of more than one clinic.

One clinic will provide efficiency - convenience to on-site hospital services.

There are also options for those with transportation issues. Recently, the Princeton Health Care Steering Committee devel-oped the Princeton Health Care Transportation brochure. It is available at Cascade Medical Clinic, Community Services, Town office, Princeton Library, Seniors’ Centre, Similkameen Spotlight office, Similkameen News Leader office and is also available online at www.sohc.ca.

Princeton’s Christmas Celebration will start with Light-up on Saturday, Nov. 30 from 3:30 to 7 p.m.

The Princeton and District Chamber of Commerce Light Up committee have arranged a wagon ride to take people around town with stops at Veterans Square, Cooper’s, and Princeton Plaza.

There will be entertainment in Veterans Square by our local youth groups, a Christmas tree compe-tition, a small dog race, pool noodle street hockey with the Posse and of course, Santa’s visit.

Princeton Passports will be offered in stores the day of Light up and can be stamped until store clos-ing on December 14. With each $5 spent, partici-pants will receive one stamp in the passport, when the passport is filled it can be put in for the draw at participating merchants. Winners will be drawn at the Dec. 16, Town Council meeting and announced in the Similkameen Spotlight.

Join in the festivities by entering the Christmas Tree Competition in Veterans Square—this is open to clubs, organizations, businesses and individuals (or groups). The lights in all the trees will go on in conjunction with the Square lights – the more trees we have the better the display will be.

Other communities pack people in for their light-up and Princeton has a great opportunity to do

the same, but your participation is needed.Let’s continue this great Christmas tradition –

only you can make it happen!For more information or to be part of the

Celebration, call (250-295-3103); or email ([email protected]) Lori at the Chamber of Commerce.

Raise the roof… wait… We did it!

November 10, 2013, in the village of Tulameen, there was a big celebration that officially opened the new outdoor rink facility. The event was attended by 200 people who donned their favou-rite hockey jersey including the local KIJHL hockey team, the Princeton Posse, government officials from both the Provincial and Regional districts, as well as Susan Roline the Mayor of Merritt and many long-time Tulameen residents.

The celebration was the icing on the cake for a project that has taken on a life of its own that saw this small community band together in the most incredible way to ‘Raise the Roof’. Some may say that it takes a village to raise a child – Tulameen says that it takes an incredible group to ‘Raise the Roof’.

It was plenty of hard work over a number of years for several people behind the scenes. Mark Jones, Rod Hassell and Tony Ellis have been toss-ing this project around for literally years until one day a grant application found its way to the Tulameen Community Club. Mark Jones relent-lessly pursued avenues that were uncharted ter-ritory for government officials and helped a few of them to think ‘outside the box’. (Everyone at the RDOS likely still squirms when they see ‘Mark Jones’ displayed on their caller ID). His conviction and belief in the project fuelled the determination and motivation of many and if he hadn’t been as persistent and dedicated as he was, this project would have fizzled out well before the building permit stage.

Here’s the story: The Tulameen Community Club applied for a grant from the Provincial government, part of a 30 million dollar fund designed to help communities with capital projects that would improve or contribute to recreation and fitness in BC. The Tulameen Community Club executive thought…aha! Why shouldn’t Tulameen benefit from some of that fund? We like recreation – the Tulameen Community Club’s mandate is recreation based. Could it be possible? When the NHL-sized outdoor rink was installed back in the 1980s, it was funded by Lottery grant money and it was originally slated to include a roof, but the lottery funding dried up before it was erected.

Tulameen’s ‘Raise the Roof’ project was awarded a grant of $240,000 with a stipulation that the Tulameen Community Club throw in $60,000 cash (and, by the way, these are funds that were raised in the community, by the com-munity). Every event was attended – beer cozy or calendar bought at Tulameen Days. Membership fees all contributed to the capital amount contrib-uted to the ‘Raise the Roof’ fund. There was a stipulation that all funds run through the RDOS. Tulameen Community Club gave the RDOS $60,000 and the Provincial government sent their promised amount of $240,000. Then it started. All of the government protocol and policy now applied to ‘Raise the Roof’.

The RDOS needed a land survey to establish lot lines and parameters for the new structure. The Ministry of Transportation would have to be consulted. There was the time consuming process of a ‘Request For Proposal’ (RFP) – part of the Regional District’s procedure for a

capital project, as the rink sits on RDOS land. The RFPs submitted from interested applicants (aside from Tulameen’s) had to complete one too. The amount came in between $600,000 and $1,000,000. Tulameen’s submission was for just $300,000. All of the government officials ques-tioned whether we could do this or not as there was such a substantial cost difference. Mark Jones kicked into high gear and convinced them it could be done.

Area H director, Brad Hope, had to do some convincing of the RDOS Board of Directors. They voted unanimously that we be able to pro-ceed with this project with our budget of just $300,000.

Tulameen had no time to waste and saw they could still fit this project in before the snow flies.

The construction team took over with Rod Hassell at the helm. A steel building was ordered from Norsteel, a local company in Kelowna. The underground preparation work began.

And then something amazing happened.People were coming from everywhere to help

offering their assistance. Tom Reichert Rentals arrived and worked daily

until the concrete work was complete. Riechert also donated it’s bobcat. LMS operations man-ager, Wyatt Coupland and owners Ron McNeil, Ivan Harmatny and Norm Streu for Reinforcing Steel Group also arrived with a full crew, donat-ing the rebar needed for the foundation. The own-ers from LMS had this to say, “For us at LMS, this project was fuelled by so much positive home-grown energy that we knew we had to be a part of it. Anytime you can contribute to a project that is going to bring excitement and assist in developing children’s skills for many years to come, you make the time and assist in any way you can.”

Ed Anderson from Red Iron Industries also arrived with his team and equipment necessary to complete the job, offering a substantial discount for the work they performed. Norsteel engineer, Bruce Dalrymple of Dalrymple Engineering, donated all three of his inspection visits. Fred & Company donated his team and equipment on more than one occasion. Reichert gave carte blanche for the use of any tools needed from his equipment yard. Fuel was provided by Cool Creek Agencie’s Lorne Esselink which was delivered by Gary Dobie. Rory and Debbie Schwarz of R&D Landscaping donated their bobcat and small excavator, while Mike Grgich donated his bobcat jackhammer. Rhonda and Bryan Kirkness from Western Explosives provid-ed the trucking, at no cost in order to co-ordinate and haul a heavy load of Dwyidag steel bars and rebar from the coast to Tulameen. Don Singer at DSI Dwyidag decreased his invoice by several thousand dollars, while Morphy Resaw provided all of the lumber necessary for the forming and foundation. Marcel Jittler at Noremac Concrete Pump donated the concrete pump and driver. Remo Maddalozzo provided the Asplundh Tree Service during site preparations. Bert Alderleisten and his sons from The Front Porch on Second Street jumped in to help with the concrete pour.

SpotlightOPINION

VICTORIA – My late father used to say that if he ever won the lottery, he would “farm until it’s all gone.”

It was 1960 when he and my mother pulled up stakes in the Okanagan, where their families had been for generations, and moved north to carve a homestead out of a half section in the Peace River country.

So it’s a mainly northern perspective that I bring to the latest debate over B.C.’s agricultural land reserve. A dialogue of the deaf has been going on for decades in B.C., where there are two separate realities in agriculture.

The dominant voice is always from the southwest, from the Okanagan to the Fraser Valley to southern Vancouver Island. This is not only B.C.’s most pro-ductive land, it’s also the place of greatest population and development pressure, where three million of the province’s four million residents live and more arrive every day.

In the rest of the province, except for pockets that are attractive for recreational development, farming is a tough row to hoe. These days, people are more likely to be moving away.

In our urbanized society, the loudest voices tend to be the least informed, from backyard-chicken hipsters to what I call “drive-by environmentalists,” who like to look out their car windows at green fields as they motor from their subdivi-sions to big-box stores. The elderly Sikhs and Mexican guest work-ers bent over in the fields don’t need their lofty lectures on “food security.”

Voices from the rest of the province are seldom heard and quickly shouted down, as was the case at the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver.

Merritt councillor Mike Goetz pleaded for relief from an Agricultural Land Commission that refuses to release a property that has “grown nothing but rocks and tumbleweeds for the last 100 years.” Similar property next door was released, but not this parcel,

blocking a project for five years in a little town that could use the work and additional tax base. Urban sprawl isn’t a big problem in Merritt, which like many small towns is trying to hang onto its population.

Spallumcheen councillor Ed Hanoski described the situation beyond the towns, the real rural B.C. He proposed easing the restric-tions on building a second home on farm properties.

Currently, farmers can put a mobile home on their property for an elderly or infirm relative, but nothing with a permanent foundation. Once that relative moves or passes away, the home is supposed to be removed.

Hanoski said a sewage system for such a residence costs around $12,000. Add the temporary foundation, skirting, well hookup, power, landscaping, driveway, and a mobile home that will lose its value if it has to be moved, and the property owner takes a loss of $150,000 or more.

That’s why the removal rule is routinely ignored in rural B.C., Hanoski said. These second homes are the only rental stock there is, providing modest income for marginal farms, and should be allowed permanent foundations. Motion defeated, after a scolding from a Sunshine Coast delegate about people lusting to build

mansions on farmland.I asked Bill Bennett, the cabinet minister in charge of the lat-

est agricultural land review, about a rumoured proposal to split the province into two zones with different rules. He declined to comment, but described the case of Fort Steele Farms, the East Kootenay community’s only market garden that almost closed because the next generation was initially refused permission for a second home.

The two zones approach deserves serious consideration.Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press

Can Toronto a’Ford’ any more embarassment?

Carla ClarkGuest Editorial

BC ViewsTOM FLETCHER

Is nothing sacred anymore? Toronto’s ’bad boy’ Mayor Rob Ford is receiving

more than his share of media coverage these days. Not only in Canada, but worldwide attention has been por-traying in detail the man behind the ‘Chain of Office’ adornment. It has been going on for so long, even the viewing public is becoming tired of the tediously end-less news feeds, Facebook and Twitter threads, jokes, cartoons and wise-cracking (pun intended) television host monologues to put anyone to sleep.

How can one person create such political havoc in such a short period of time? He’s been in office for less than 3 years as mayor, creating a torrential frenzy in the political arena making one wonder if the thin ice he’s created for himself will ever be sustainable enough to skate on. So far, as the cracks grow ever more pronounced (pun intended). I certainly don’t think Torontonians are holding their breath in the hope that they will be lacing up their bladed footwear anytime soon.

Ford’s stories never manage to reach that inglorious conclusion as the media continues to uncover more and more disclosure. Meanwhile, the ongoing blemish on our Canadian pride persists as those around him forever attempt to slide the garbage pile further and further to the back of the landfill. Those closest to the mayhem are praying at the very least that this episode of behavior unbecoming of a man of his status, will be hidden away in the history books as the nation’s worst blunder ever in our history. It will forever be remem-bered as Canada’s ‘disaster of the century.’ For now, it’s comedic fodder.

It is clear the man doesn’t appear to be aware of just how far his once ‘Personal & Confidential’ envelope of bad conduct has slid, and nor does he seem to care. I’d say all the way down the side of the CN Tower, only to be picked up by a rather hefty wind gust, blowing it into an unsuspecting post office, and eventually land-ing in the International ‘out’ bin.

Just because the man finally publicly ‘fessed’ up to doing crack, drinking to excess (the infamous ’drunken stupor’ excuse) resulting in more than one DUI and other indiscretions. If there’s more to add, we’ll just have to tune into the late night shows or the local news to find out.

Allegedly, his life’s dream was to be an all star football player (which didn’t pan out), so he followed in his father’s footsteps, immersed himself in politics and worked his way to become the big cheese of Ontario’s largest metropolis. It seems that his ability to master the necessary skills on the gridiron took a detour and hit the political arena. At least there he thought he wouldn’t have to wear a helmet, padding and a double-digit number on his chest. Currently, that number he wears today is in the minus.

So, if you have even the slightest bit of integrity left, do the right thing, Mayor. Ford….step down, get some much needed help and go back to working at the label company you and brother Doug Jr. inherited from the late Doug Sr. After all, you’ve had enough of them directed at you to make you an expert in the field.

As far as that envelope goes, we’ll be forever grate-ful that someone had the wherewithal to stamp Return To Sender on it‘s tattered, well traveled face. I, however, have no doubt the tax-payers will be stuck with the ensuing postage - and if you have a few bucks to spare, buy yourself a butthead…er ..bobblehead of Canada’s most ’tawdry’ mayor -every car should have one..

DO THE MATH. ADVERTISE IN THE NEWSPAPER.

Dear Editor,Is there any reason why Princeton residents

haven’t been told the results of the deer survey that was sent out months ago and when, if ever, is something going to be done to reduce their population?

A few days ago I caught one entering my car-port. I went out the door yelling and making a racket—it was gone, right now. (There is nothing in my carport to entice them in.)

I’m tired of chasing these beasts and at 80 years old, I shouldn’t have to. I don’t understand how people can think that they are so cute when they tromp through yards and gardens, chomping on anything in their path and leaving their drop-pings. I don’t see any cuteness in this.

When deer are seen just ahead of you when driving, instead of stopping while they saunter across the road or just stand there, just slow down some and lay on the horn. They quickly get out of the way. Make it less comfortable for them and they just might move on elsewhere.

Now that Councilman Doug Pateman is tak-ing on the deer problem I am hoping that some-thing will be done to reduce the deer population and soon. It’s been dragging on and talked about for much too long with no change.

No more empty words —it’s time for action!Kay GoglinPrinceton

Dear Editor,Once again I receive my estimated FortisBC

power bill. Previous my bill for months June to August

was $463. I was unaware of the lock out and that FortisBC was sending out estimated bills.

You can imagine my horror at that amount for the middle of summer!

I try to restrict my power usage, in fact I should be the FortisBC poster boy for power conservation!

Upon phoning FortisBC I learned my estimate was generated from 2010 usage. At that time I ran a sandwich business from my basement with walk-in coolers, fridges and other equipment.

The representative I was speaking with apolo-gized and asked me to obtain information from my Smart Meter. The rep did some keyboarding at her end and then said I would receive a new bill.

It appears that Smart Meters aren’t so smart as they receive human intervention for the end product, which I did receive a few days later. The corrected bill…$167.

FortisBC is still stuck in 2010 effective of my current bill.

I urge everyone to phone FortisBC and demand a current usage bill, then perhaps FortisBC will resolve the current labour issues and get back to the business of serving their customers.

Randy GibsonPrinceton

Open letter to Interior Health,I have had occasion to spend some time at the

Cascade Medical Clinic and notice that there is only one handicapped parking spot.

Due to the elderly population (with disabilities - walkers & canes), would it be possible to allot more spaces for the handicapped/elderly?

The young and healthy people should and could be parking in the larger lot also.

Just a suggestion, as we will be only having the one medical clinic in town.

Gail DavidsonPrinceton

Dear Editor,I belong to Operation Legacy, a group of

members of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program dedicated to preserving Canada’s military heritage and teaching other young people how to carry on the remembrance message.

This year, The War Amps is celebrating a major anniversary. Ninety-five years ago, First World War amputee veterans formed The Amputations Association of the Great War. The name was changed to The War Amputations of Canada when Second World War amputees joined their ranks. These men later started the CHAMP Program to assist young amputees like me.

In addition to having had the privilege of learning about Canada’s military heritage from a young age, I also know what it is like to live without a limb – a strong bond that I share with war amputee veterans. Because of this, I feel it is my duty to ensure that the stories of war are pre-served and its lessons never forgotten.

I have been fortunate to be involved with Operation Legacy by participating in local Remembrance Day ceremonies and laying wreaths on behalf of The War Amps. I have also donated documentaries from The War Amps Military Heritage Series to the Cranbrook Public Library.

I encourage everyone – particularly young people – to learn more through The War Amps Military Heritage Series documentaries, which are available at a cost-recovery price at waramps.ca.

Sincerely,Nicole ByfordOperation Legacy Member, Cranbrook

Library Conference Room• NEW MEMBERS NEEDED •

ROOF - from page 3Butch Kavanaugh from Mac’s Auto Parts donated parts,

while Coastal Mountain Crane showed their support by step-ping in to assist to help with the building erection. More con-crete was provided by Jamie and Leslie Hassell of Princeton Redi-Mix at a reduced cost. Weyerhaeuser not only donated lumber, but helped with specialized steel fabricating when some of the steel plates shipped were the incorrect size.

Along with the others, the Lockie Road subdivision showed their support wherever possible. Honourable mention goes to Tony Ellis who’s perserverance never waivered. The community didn’t stop there — there was cooking, baking, serving meals and keeping the crew members ‘fuelled up’ for the duration of the construction and thanks to Katherine Ellis who made sure that no one went to bed without a meal. A very special thanks goes to Brent Wattie from Okanagan Spring Brewery who contributed to the fundraising events we held to reach our $60,000.

In preparation for the project, George Nohynek, Noba Vision Construction donated his time and expertise to gener-ate the computer renderings of the building for the original bid. Diane Sterne from the Mosey-On-Inn in Coalmont composed all of the written components and photos for the grant applications and supporting documents. Barb Jones’ spreadsheet talents held all the details and immaculate record keeping.

Maurio Rossi of Wilco Civil Inc. donated artificial turf for us to surround the rink. Tim Hassell from TDH Contracting did all the final grading around the arena at no charge to ensure the turf was installed, while Western Explosives picked up the heavy load of artificial turf.

And the players at the Provincial and Regional govern-ments – Brad Hope for believing in the ‘Raise the Roof’ project, from concept to completion and for believing in Tulameen. Justin Shuttleworth, RDOS, for being the point man on the whole thing. The rest of the Regional District office — Bill Newell, Mark Woods, Aaron Hough, Donna Butler, Andrew Stuckey and for helping to get the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed when they needed to be, and for deleting them where they could be deleted. For not following the procedure manual by reading it, but rather by interpreting it with a little heart.

The list of folks who brought their ‘can do’ attitude and picked up a shovel, a paintbrush, a rake, a saw, whatever was needed. The list is long. In no particular order: Rory Schwarz, Scott Schwarz, Stewart McEwen, Chris Wagner, Len MacDonald, Mike Sanderson, Taylor Sanderson, Randy Cartwright, David McPhail, Darren Fownes, Clint Peterson, Chris Ng, Leanne Ng, Lee Ellis, Morgan Hawkes, Jessie Bodnar, Kevin Hussey, David Naranjo, Rueben Zuidhof, Jacob Hansen, Betty McRae, Ev Estacaille, Jim Stolth, Barb Jones, Kelly Reichert, Mike Vandergulik, Cody and Gina Mullin and family, Darryl Jones, Danae Jones, Bryan McKenzie, Jason McKenzie, Blake McKenzie, Don McKenzie, Klaus Kotzian, Lorne and Sophia Henrikson.

On top of the funding that would allow for the new roof, all of the new high efficiency, low voltage lights were pur-chased through gas tax grants, accessed through Tulameen’s Area H ‘can do’ guy, Tulameen’s favorite electrician, Brad Hope. Mike Woods from Skaha Electric, came to the table and wired the entire new building with all kinds of bells and

whistles for every imaginable future need. The shoestring budget for the opening ceremonies turned

out to be plenty. Cooper’s helped with the refreshments, Steph Wagner from Element Creatives donated her time to help plan and organize the event, the Town of Princeton donated the stage to be used and the RDOS donated the flags. The Shoe Tree-O donated their entertainment and equipment, P&L Speedprint helped with the cost of printing and a huge thank you to the Princeton Posse who showed up with smiles on their faces with just a few hours of sleep after coming off a road trip!

And last, but not least, the steady stream of Tulameenies who just showed up with their ‘way-to-go guys’ comments, big grins and their excitement barely contained. There wasn’t a shortage of people coming on a regular basis to show their gratitude and enthusiasm for the project – for both the dona-tions that were made, and the volunteers that made it happen in the little town that could....they, Raised the Roof!

By calling 250-295-6666 you will gain access to information regarding the various forms of transportation available in Princeton, that can help you to get to the Cascade Clinic.

The HandiDart Bus Service is available Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, 8:30 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Other options include the Princeton Taxi service and volunteer drivers if neccessary.

“You can’t knock Princeton,” said Brown, “It is community centered.”

CLINIC - from page 1

200 people donned their favourite hockey jersey to celebrate the project. The Princeton Posse, government officials from both the Provincial and Regional districts, Susan Roline the Mayor of Merritt and many long-time Tulameen residents participated in the Raise the Roof celebration.

Members of the Princeton Posse participate in a puck drop to mark the occasion. The Princeton Posse and other teams will be able to schedule games at the rink and experience hockey the way it used to be played – outside.

Eagles Nest opens

Princeton Posse’s Kurtis Klinger scoops the puck away from Nelson Leafs’ Linden Horswill during the game held on Friday at the Princeton Arena.Posse fans had plenty to cheer for during the evening, however the final score was 7 - 4 in Nelsons favour.

One of Canada’s easiest ways to get kids healthy and active this winter is now avail-able. The Canadian Ski Council’s SnowPass is available online. It’s an unbeatable offer: it pro-vides three lift passes at each of the 150+ ski areas nation-wide for Canadian kids in Grades 4 and 5.

SnowPass Advantage: “Introducing children to skiing and snowboarding at an early age gives them lifetime access to these healthy winter sports,” says Patrick Arkeveld, President and CEO of the Canadian Ski Council. “It keeps them fit, less prone to obesity, and outside and active during the winter months. Better yet, skiing and snowboarding are sports kids can do with the entire family for a lifetime.”

How It Works: The Canadian Ski Council’s SnowPass gives kids in grades 4 and 5 (born in 2003 or 2004) three lift tickets at each participat-ing ski area all across Canada for the entire win-ter; providing them with an opportunity to ski or snowboard hundreds of times over the winter season. You only need to apply once for the SnowPass and the pass is valid until the end of grade 5. This means if you apply in grade 4 the pass is valid for two years.

Applying is Easy: To sign up, visit www.snow-pass.ca, and you have a choice of either uploading your child’s picture, enter your payment and their proof of age, or our printed option that allows you to fill out the information, print the appli-cation to mail in to the Canadian Ski Council with a photo, proof of age and payment; all for a one-time administration fee of $29.95 includ-ing taxes. Signing up online is the quickest and

easiest way to apply for your child’s Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass card. SnowPass cards will be mailed to you beginning in mid-November, before the December 1st SnowPass season start date!

Where to Use it: The Grade 4 & 5 SnowPass is a national program and is valid at over 150 ski areas across Canada including 32 ski areas in British Columbia, 19 ski areas in Alberta, 1 ski area in Saskatchewan, 2 ski areas in Manitoba, 33 ski areas in Ontario, 57 ski areas in Quebec, 8 in Atlantic Canada and 1 in the Yukon. With ski areas participating across Canada, families will not have to travel far to put this SnowPass to use. Kids can easily track how many lift passes they have left by visiting www.snowpass.ca.

Grade 4 and 5 SnowPass information and appli-cations are available online at www.snowpass.ca or www.passeportdesneiges.ca. Application forms are also being distributed to elementary schools across Canada beginning in early November.

SnowPass helps to keep kids active during the winter months

The mezzanine at the Princeton Arena has undergone renovations and was introduced as the “Eagles Nest” on Friday, Nov. 15 with an official puck drop to commemorate the occasion.

Posse home games have become an all inclu-sive evening, thanks to the hard work of the organization and its volunteers.

As well as taking in an evening of hometown hockey action, you can catch a ride to and from the game, have dinner and enjoy refreshments in the Eagles Nest.

Try your luck at the puck toss, pick up Posse memorabilia from the on-site store and after the game, catch a ride home on the Posse bus.

On Sunday Nov. 18, the residents of Osprey Lake enjoyed the afternoon travelling from home to home, taking in the work of local artisans.The first stop was at Sheri Tosczak’s house to view handmade semi-precious gemstone jewellery set in sterling silver and gold. Then on to Mark & Bettina Wong’s B-Line Design Studio with handcrafted metal art pieces, Barb Anstie with handcrafted art cards; and Jill Pelland with a display of acrylic on canvas paintings. The event was topped off with a barbecue and goodies.

Students of Shirley Low enjoy a yearly trip to the Sanderson’s pumpkin field behind the fruit stand where they choose a pump-kin to take home. This year was a little differ-ent because the patch had been moved out of town, but students still received a pumpkin to take home from the fruit stand. The field trip to Sanderson’s and the Grist Mill was enjoyed by students, teachers and parents alike.

Deer 104 ~ Threats to man and beastDeer are wildlife. WildSafeBC’s objective is to

‘keep wildlife wild and communities safe.’Wildlife managers are strongly against feeding,

or providing safe haven for deer. They are ada-mant that folks do not set out salt blocks, hay, or supply vegetation for them to forage. It is a Bylaw infraction in the Town of Princeton to feed deer. Hopefully, this type of Bylaw will be expanded to outlying areas and other municipalities in the Okanagan-Similkameen.

History shows us when wild stocks mingle with domestic stock and humans, things can go awry. For example, if domestic sheep touch noses to wild sheep they can transmit a fatal pneumonia type disease to the wild stock.

Deer can inadvertently transmit Lyme disease to pets and humans. The disease is transmitted by a tick, often referred to as a ‘deer tick’. If Lyme disease carrying ticks are carried into our gardens and yards by browsing deer, they can be picked up by passing humans and pets. For more information see http://canlyme.com/ .

Increased aggression is being reported in areas where popu-lations of habituated deer are expanding; attacks on pets to threatening humans. In spring and during fall rut, deer are more assertive, and territorially protective. If deer have been ‘raised’ in your backyard or neighbourhood, it understandably thinks it is their range to protect. Deer that are not a problem in your yard may be a problem, nuisance, or danger to your neighbours and their children.

Deer have survived in the wilds for thousands of years, and can thrive without human intervention. They are resource-ful. They have adapted to human environments, taking full advantage of the opportunities that exist in urban areas. We too must be resourceful, to develop strategies to share the eco-system while encouraging deer to move through and not loiter in our neighbourhoods.

Some excerpts for this series were taken from: Deerproofing Your Yard and Garden, Rhonda Hart 2005

For more information on Living with Wildlife visit the RDOS web site. www.rdos.bc.ca or at WildSafeBC www.wild-safebc.com

At this time of year more wildlife is going to be alongside and crossing our roads and highways. Please be extra cautious on rural roads to avoid hitting, injuring or killing wildlife. Also, it saves on car insurance claims, and the risk of human injury or death.


Zoe KirkRDOS Bear Aware/WildSafeBC Community Coordinator

A new series of guides provides support for the agricultural sector as conflicts involving wildlife and those working on the land appear to be on the rise.

Margaret Holm, of the Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Alliance (OSCA), and Zoë Kirk, Regional District Okanagan Similkameen (RDOS), have completed a series of eight Living with Wildlife in B.C guides specifically targeting wildlife mitigation and management. Species covered include black bears, cougars, coyotes/wolves, ungulates, star-lings, snakes, and rodents.

The Conflict Reduction Techniques Guide, the largest guide in the series, provides mitigation tools and examples with links to information and product resources.

“This project brings together information from a wide vari-ety of sources and is available for anyone to download at no charge,” says OSCA’s Margaret Holm. “We will be promoting and distributing the guides as widely as possible through agri-cultural and safety organizations.”

This project delivers more than just printed and web-based materials. Articles will be submitted to industry publications and the authors will be providing seminars to agricultural organizations in 2014. In the South Okanagan, those inter-ested can request on-site visits to assess risks and remediation options, and new agricultural businesses can receive a visit to pre-plan for best practices from the outset. A wall poster synopsis of the seven wildlife species, risk factors and conflict reduction techniques is in production.

Farmers, orchardists, ranchers, wineries, apiaries, resource sector workers and hobby farmers have reported increased crop losses and property damage as a result of wildlife conflict. All sectors have expressed concern for operational and worker safety.

“The RDOS has shown leadership and commitment to reducing human-wildlife conflict, demonstrated through its partnership with the WildSafeBC program,” says Zoe Kirk, RDOS program coordinator. “Industry driven, these guides

fill a much-needed niche and I look forward to using them.”The Living with Wildlife in BC project received finan-

cial assistance or support from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture, and the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. through the BC Agriculture Council, Ardcorp, The South Okanagan Similkameen Stewardship Program and the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen Bear Smart program.

CAPRICORN: Several new opportunities are coming your way, Capricorn. You just need to sort through all of them and figure out just what you want to do in the next few weeks.

AQUARIUS: The new season has you feeling refreshed and ready for new beginnings, Aquarius. Make the most of this new lease on life and encourage others to join you.

PISCES: Pisces, maintain your focus around the office, as you will have to juggle multiple tasks in the week ahead.

ARIES: Aries, you have a lot on your mind, but only one concern demands your undivided attention. Find a quiet space to think things through and trust your gut feelings.

TAURUS: Taurus, friendships may weaken if you don’t keep up your end of the relationship. Make an effort to get together with your friends and take the initiative with planning.

GEMINI: Gemini, your approach to a problem is not working. It could be time to take an entirely new approach and see if this produces results. Be patient with this new approach.

CANCER: Don’t be surprised if a busy week finds you dog tired come the weekend, Cancer. Use the time off to recharge your batteries on this well-deserved break.

LEO: Few things can hold your interest this week, Leo. Although friends try, they can’t seem to keep you focused on any one thing. Expect to jump from task to task this week.

VIRGO: Virgo, an unexpected consequence appears this week and you are caught completely off guard. Don’t let others see your surprise. You must simply roll with the punches.

LIBRA: Libra, a spark of ingenuity hits you out of the blue and you know just how to put that inspiration to good use. Set your plan in motion as soon as you are able.

SCORPIO: Scorpio, after a few hectic weeks at home and at the office, now is the ideal time for a vacation. Cast all responsibilities aside and enjoy some rest and relaxation.

SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, you may prefer to keep certain things to yourself no matter how strongly others insist you share. Don’t succumb to pressure to share those things you prefer remain private.

FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY

On weekend mornings, few things are as comforting as waking up and enjoying a leisurely, homemade breakfast. As relaxing as such meals can be, they can also be just as relaxing at dinner time. Pancakes, for instance, will always be syn-onymous with breakfast, but that hasn’t stopped pancake afficionados from enjoying their favorite flapjacks at dinner.

In addition to their versatility as to when they can be eaten, pancakes can also include a host of different ingredients, such as the following recipe for “Egg, Shrimp and Scallion Pancakes” from Andrea Nguyen’s “Into the Vietnamese Kitchen” .

Egg, Shrimp and Scallion PancakesServes 4 to 6 with 2 or 3 other dishes

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled5 eggs, beaten2 scallions, white and green parts,

chopped Salt Canola or other neutral oil for frying

Fish sauce or light (regular) soy sauce for serving

1. Refresh the shrimp by putting them in a colander and tossing them with a liberal amount of salt. Rinse immediately under cold water and press gently to drain well. Put the shrimp in a bowl, add the eggs and scallions, and mix well.

2. Put enough oil into a large nonstick skillet to coat the bottom thinly. Place over

medium heat and heat until a drop of egg immediately sizzles and bubbles upon contact with the oil. To make each pancake, ladle about 2 tablespoons of the egg mixture into the skil-let, making sure that a few shrimp are included in each portion, and then quickly nudge the shrimp in each pool of egg so they don’t over-lap. Fry only as many pancakes at once as will fit without crowding, about 3 pancakes at a time in a 12-inch skillet. Don’t worry about the shape each one takes, as they are meant to

be free-form. When the edges of a pancake are set and lightly browned, after about 2 minutes, use a spatula to turn it carefully. (If the pan-cakes have stuck together, use the spatula to separate them before flipping.) Fry for another 30 seconds to 1 minute, until browned on the second side. Transfer the finished pancakes to a plate and keep warm while you fry the rest.

3. Arrange the pancakes in 2 plates or a platter and serve with the fish sauce for dip-ping.

‘He who is in front, has the right of way’ ~ experiencing ChinaWhen I left off last week, we were on the bus to Mainland China after a thir-

teen hour flight from Vancouver. For the Chinese folks riding this bus, it must have been boring, for many of them slept. We tried to do the same but were far too excited.

We took in the overwhelmingly busy highways lined with concrete high-rise apartments stretching endlessly through the flat, open landscape. We passed through Shenzhen, a city of nearly ten and a half million people, which within the last 40 years has been transformed from an agricultural region to a major port and trading centre. We then disembarked at the border to go through a complicated series of tasks that involved showing passports, visas and other paperwork. It was completely mind-boggling and I would never recommend anyone to try it without the ability to speak Cantonese or to have a seasoned guide! When all the papers were stamped and returned, we boarded the bus again.

Our destination was Guangzhou and by the time we arrived we were so punch drunk we collapsed into bed at the Grand Continental Hotel and slept like the dead. I awoke at two thirty in the morning and tiptoed to the window of our hotel room. What I saw was enthralling. From the twenty-eighth floor I looked down on the Pearl River, lined with blue lights. I watched ships pass, lit up even more elaborately than the river. Closer to the hotel, I saw people unloading goods from trucks for the coming day’s commerce.

Several young men were playing a version of hacky sack with great enthusiasm. This city of fourteen million souls truly never slept!

The next days were spent experiencing a dim sum lunch, finding a Starbucks in the historic area of Shenmian Island and learning to cross the streets without getting run over.

We walked many kilometers. The most moving event was attending Easter service in a marvelous old

Anglican church very near our hotel. The windows were wide open to the street sounds and attracted bystanders. Afterward, Paul and I were given hardboiled eggs to take with us. As we walked from the church, I began serious people watching. I did not know what to expect as I made eye contact. I need not have worried. I started smiling at older people who had their grandchildren with them. There was a universal connection and from there on, I was comfortable wherever I went even though I had not a word of Cantonese. I found grace in the way people moved about. I am known as a klutz but I never once bumped into anyone. I suppose it comes from so many bodies learning to move past others without intruding on another’s space.

Soon we were on our way again by China South Airlines with a two day stop-over in Wuhan to visit friends Steve and Nancy LePoidevin. Wuhan, population ten million, is the Chinese version of Silicone Valley and growing exponentially.

We could see the Yangtze River from time to time as we traveled by bus and taxi. It was at the LePoidevins’ that we slept on our first Chinese style bed. When I tried it, my first thought was, “You’ve got to be kidding!” It was just a piece of felt over a board, but we woke up the next day refreshed with no nagging backache. In Wuhan we were also introduced to the one rule of the road which was, “He who is in front has the right of way” which led to interesting techniques to be the one in front.

April 7 found us at the Wuhan Airport again, waiting on a China East plane, anticipating the take off for Beijing, the jewel in the crown until now. Till next week.

After a long battle with cancer he died peacefully in his sleep on Fri, Oct. 25, 2013 at the Princeton Hospital, Princeton, BC. Dano was born in Sudbury, Ontario July 1, 1956.Dano was a loving, caring and devoted husband who loved fishing, hunting, snow-mobiling and anything to do with the great outdoors. He was also a great meat cutter and sausage maker. A devoted fan to the “Flames” and loved to take candy from the ears of children for them. He loved to share a glass (or two) with friends around a fire and sharing tales of fishing.Dano will always be remembered and great-ly missed by his wife Solange (Sam) of 40 years and his parents Donna and Gilles. He will also be remembered by his sisters Kar-en Howson Gale (Robert), Debbie Howson Jalbert (Norman), Jennifer Jalbert (Law-rence). Brothers Calvin Jalbert, Tim Jalbert (Joanne) and many Aunts, Uncles, nieces and nephews, bothers-in-law, sisters-in-law and friends.

on the other side.”Your Family.
