For a high school student a break from class is a welcome event, but when it’s a break from class to hang out with some cool people with some very cool cars, it’s even better!

On Thursday, May 30, students at Princeton Secondary had just that opportunity.

Robbie Dickson, founder of the Canadian Bull Run Rally, Coordinator Andrew and rally photographer Menoo arrived at the school in a Lamborghini and an Audi R8 to show the cars and introduce students to the rally.

The Canadian Bull Run Rally is a non profit event, giving sports car enthusiasts the opportunity to spend time and

have some fun together….all while showing off their fantastic cars.

This year the rally will take place over the July 5 to 8 week-end. The event will begin in Pitt Meadows, travelling onto Whistler, then Vernon and on to Princeton.

On Sunday, July 7 at the Princeton Airport the Canadian Bull Run Rally teams will host the Princeton Airport Supercar Drag Racing event from 1 to 4 p.m., and will also provide residents with the opportunity to view the sports cars up close.

COMMUNITY CaleNdarPSS/Student of the month

Wendy Bentley/SpotlightAlly Myers is the student of the month for May.Ally, a grade 12 student, has been nominated by Miss Blair. Ally has done service at the school, local and provincial levels.This past weekend she was recognized by the Duke of Edinburgh pro-gram sponsored by the Lieutenant Governor for volunteerism. Ally is graduating and deserves to be recognized for making our school, our community — and soon the world — a better place.

Since then Myers has made great strides and completed all three levels of the award program.

She has travelled to India and China volunteering her time with children. She has volunteered with Olive Ridley Turtle Conservation, delivered cloth-ing to the poor in Mexico and raised over $10,000 for the Good Shephard Agricultural Mission located in India.

Myers has enjoyed challenges like sailing a Tall Ship through Desolation Sound and rafting in the Rockies. On a local level, Myers volunteers with Princeton Ground Search and Rescue (PGSAR) and most recently volun-teered over 150 hours to teach disabled skiers at Sun Peaks Resort.

“She has brought youthful enthusiasm to the team,” said Secretary/Treasurer of PGSAR, Randy Rorvick. “Ally showed interest and learns well, she is almost ready to graduate from member in training to becoming certified. We enjoy working with her,” he added.

On top of her volunteer work Myers is an honour roll student who is actively involved in school sports, band and outdoor activities like sailing, skiing and snowboarding.

On June 22 Myers will join her peers in celebrating graduation with cer-emonies and prom. Two days later, she will be on her way to South Africa for six weeks to teach youth in Cape Town how to swim and surf.

“It feels good to be able to help children,” said Myers, “I have lots of fun and I get to meet lots of new people.”

Near the end of August, Myers will be off to Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick.

She plans to study geophysics and achieve a Bachelor of Science Degree in Chemistry or Physics—most likely both.

Through her travels Myers feels that she has gained insight into how frail the planet and ecosystem are and how important conservation is.

Myers believes that Antarctica holds the answers to the lingering ques-tions on global warming. She plans to someday visit Antarctica as it is “the quintessential playground for the scientific mind.”

Vancouver, British Columbia – May 22, 2013 – Copper Mountain Mining Corporation (TSX: CUM) (the “Company” or “Copper Mountain”) announces that further to the Company’s news release of May 17, 2013, the damaged SAG mill transformer was replaced late Friday and the mill was back in operation by 6 pm Friday May 17, 2013. Site maintenance personnel were able to successfully replace the damaged transformer with identical transformers from Ball Mill #1. Operations over the long weekend with the SAG mill and one ball mill was better than forecast and operated at an average rate of 1,100 tpoh or an average of 25,400tpd.

The exact cause of the failure is being evalu-ated by the supplier and an independent third party consultant. Preliminary testing has indicat-ed that damage is limited to one set of coils in the transformer, which could help with shortening the timing of repairs. The damaged transformer was trucked to ABB’s transformer repair facility in Edmonton, Alberta. ABB has sent a technical

specialist from its plant in Italy to oversee the dismantling of the damaged transformer, which is scheduled to take place on Tuesday May 21, 2013. ABB’s transformer facility in Italy have ordered the raw materials necessary to manufacture a replacement set of coils which will be flown to their facility in Edmonton for installation in the damaged transformer. The repair of the one set of coils is forecast to take 2.5 weeks. The Company has instructed ABB to manufacture a full set of coils for the transformer for an estimated cost of $125,000 to ensure additional coils are on site and available at all times.

Jim O’Rourke, President & CEO of Copper Mountain commented, “We are extremely pleased with our mine site teams’ ability to work quickly and effectively to get the SAG mill operational one full day ahead of our original estimate and at an increased throughput rate. This operation with one ball mill demonstrates the extra ball mill capacity available once we are able to get full ton-nage through the SAG mill. ”

Copper Mountain Mine back in operation earlier than expected

On Sunday, May 26, 2013, Princeton RCMP conducted a search of a unit at a resort in East Princeton. Inside police located and seized a large quan-tity of cocaine, crack cocaine, methamphet-amine, marijuana and a small amount of prescription pills. A large amount of cash was also located and seized as well as sev-eral items believed to be stolen property.

28 year old Dwayne Costa of Maple Ridge has been charged with multiple counts of possession of a controlled sub-stance for the pur-pose of trafficking. Costa has since been released on court imposed conditions. Police are seeking two other individuals in connection with this seizure.

This seizure of drugs represents an approximate street value of over $10,000 and removes a sig-nificant amount of dangerous substance from our streets.

In partnership for a safer com-munity, Princeton RCMP encourage anyone with infor-mation relating to drug activity to call the Princeton RCMP at 250-295-6911 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477)

Members of the Princeton Garden Club, Laila Bird and Ben Mazzarella manned the table at the Princeton plaza Market on Saturday, May 25. The club introduced their brand new book, “Yes! You Can Garden in Princeton,” and sold plants grown from their own gardens.The book is a compilation of techniques from Princeton’s premiere gardeners on gardening successfully in the local climate.If you missed the opportunity to make your purchase at the market, not to worry. Club mem-bers will be on hand at the Agricultural Fair in August and the book is available at the follow-ing locations; An Ounce Of Prevention, Belaire, Billy’s, Everything Pets, Princeton Farm and Garden Centre, Realty Executives, Sunflower Gallery, The Image Emporium, Thomasina’s, the Tourist Information Centre and at the Winking Pedlar.With proceeds from the sale the Garden Club will be providing a bursary(s) to graduate(s) of Princeton Secondary School.

(NC)—Canadians look forward to the sum-mer when they can emerge from their homes and enjoy time in their yards. Here are some simple ways to transform your own yard into an outdoor oasis:

First, determine how you most like to use your yard. Do you prefer relaxing outside with a book, playing with the kids, gardening, or entertaining? The answers to these questions will determine how to design your space. “I’m frequently asked how to make the best use of an outdoor space,” says Mark Cullen, Home Hardware’s Gardening Expert. “As I tell people, just a few small changes can really transform the overall look and feel of your space.”

To create an “outdoor room” and an area that offers shade from the sun, pergolas are a great choice, and a growing trend. They allow you to create a shaded walkway or sitting area where you can enjoy your garden without worry of the sun. To outline your “outdoor room”, lay out your furniture and define the “walls” with end tables, planters and other decorative elements. A foun-tain or a pond act as a focal point and also add an element of relaxation and nature to the space.

To minimize watering, invest in a self-watering system to ensure your plants remain hydrated even when you’re away from home for a few days at a time.

If you enjoy spending time with friends and family, a spacious deck will provide the perfect area for entertaining. There are many options available. Wood offers a natural look and is gen-erally the most cost-efficient option. If you are eco-minded, composite decking is made from up to 95 per cent recycled material and requires little maintenance. Patio stones can be a more natural looking option which can also give more height to your privacy fence as the stones are flush with the grass line.

When it comes to privacy, there are many fence options including various woods, materials and designs, while iron decorative inserts, toppers or caps are also a great way to add appeal. If you have a small yard, a privacy fence with built-in benches and planters is a great space-saving solu-tion. For natural privacy, consider a trellis, which is also a great sound barrier.

Last but not least, your oasis will not be com-plete without plants. To maximize plant growth it is worthwhile to invest in a high-quality soil mix that is specially formulated for the purpose. It’s worth noting that not all growing areas are alike. Containers require different soil than a garden or flower bed, so to ensure you have your plants at their greenest, make sure you are using the right products.

SpotlightOPINION

VICTORIA – One of Premier Christy Clark’s first tasks of the new term will be to resume trade talks with Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Several daunting tasks await. Clark must repair relations with Alberta Premier Alison Redford after B.C.’s theatrics over oil pipelines before the election, and prepare for the results of a federal environ-mental review of the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal in the fall.

Some people were surprised on Friday when the B.C. government released its final written submis-sion to the federal environmental review panel on Northern Gateway. It was widely interpreted as B.C.’s outright rejection of the project, but it’s not as simple as that.

Clark and B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake signalled sev-eral times before the election that they were not getting the answers they wanted from Enbridge. But they stuck to the principle that the hearings must be completed.

The NDP repeated for months that the B.C. Liberal govern-ment had forfeited its own review and handed jurisdiction over the environmental assessment to Ottawa. In fact, a pipeline that runs across two provinces is by definition a matter of federal jurisdic-tion. B.C. could have held its own parallel set of hearings, which was the NDP’s stated preference, but in no circumstance does the province have a veto. And both the B.C. Liberal government and Enbridge were careful to leave the door open for further talks.

A closer reading of their comments shows that the key differ-ence at this stage is one of timing.

“The panel must determine if it is appropriate to grant a certificate for the project as currently proposed on the basis of a promise to do more study and planning after the certificate is granted,” Lake said. “Our government does not believe that a certificate should be granted before these important questions are answered.”

According to Enbridge executive Janet Holder, those impor-

tant questions can’t all be answered until the hear-ings are over. The company maintains that every river crossing and spill response plan can’t be done in detail during the two-year hearings.

B.C.’s final submission runs to nearly 100 pages. It goes into detail on the inconsistencies and unan-swered questions on such vital topics as whether diluted bitumen can sink in water.

In short, the province argues that it can sink if the oil is in fresh water, or if it is exposed to weathering so lighter fractions evaporate, or if it is mixed with sediments that increase its density.

These are pertinent conditions if heavy oil were to leak into a river in springtime, when water runs fast and cold and brown with sediment. Then there are

the obstacles presented by responding to a spill in remote wilder-ness and heavy snow.

Given both provincial and aboriginal opposition in B.C., the Enbridge pipeline is unlikely to be imposed, and last week Conservative cabinet minister James Moore clearly ruled that out. The B.C. government has consistently maintained that the cur-rent project does not meet Clark’s often-repeated five conditions, including the vaguely defined “fair share” of revenues, and Moore said the federal government agrees with those conditions.

The B.C. government has to face some other uncomfortable realities as well. If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. manage the one that has stretched across remote and popu-lated areas for 60 years?

Does the government take a stand against new pipelines, and then watch as rail cars full of heavy oil cross those same rivers? No permit is required for that, and in fact there are more hazard-ous materials than oil moving by rail and road across the province today.

Mystery Person; Who is this? Check next weeks Spotlight for the answer.1) Lives in an unusual shaped house. 2) Has a tremedous view of the Tulameen Valley. 3) Makes very good cookies. 4) She keeps K.L. in lineAnswer to the previous week: Tom Ryan

With the surfacing project on the Kettle Valley Railway trail between Okanagan Falls and Kaleden now complete, we expect it won’t be too long before the  debate over motorized usership begins anew in that part of the regional district.

The new surface consists of packed granular asphalt and in its pristine state, it presents a great walking, biking or running surface - smooth, rela-tively solid, yet forgiving underfoot.

However, the surface - completed only a week or so ago - is already showing signs of strain from users in the form of motorcycles and  horses.

In a couple of places along the trail, one can see evidence of motorized use in the form of loose stones, dislodged by the acceleration of a single wheeled vehicle. In another place, one can see inden-tations along the edge of the trail surface where horse hooves have made indentations in the surface.

The user debate has been ongoing in places like Naramata and Summerland for some time, gener-ally coming to a head when motorized and less mobile users like joggers and walkers fail to come to compatible terms with each other.

No one wants to deny legitimate use to any user group - after all, we all pay taxes.

But how to reconcile the various users and their wear and tear on the trail surface with limited tax dollars available for repairs and maintenance?

It may be that the various user groups will need to police themselves or run the risk of losing the privilege of using public trails.

Under normal use, motorized vehicles should cause a minimal amount of damage on flat, well prepared trail surfaces on the valley floor. However, wheelies, jack rabbit starts, hard braking and other high performance “tricks” have no place on public trails, and it should be up to the various user groups to police their own - or lose the privilege.

Trail users need to self police

Community Services now managing Silvercrest Housing

For years, the Silvercrest Housing complex has been run by a small group of volunteers here in Princeton. The volunteer board has been growing smaller by the year and decided to put in a request for assistance.

As of May 1 of this year, Silvercrest has been taken on by BC Housing and is managed by Princeton and District Community Services.

“It is good that BC Housing has taken on this role,” said executive director of Community Services, Lynn Pelly, “23 units of housing is considerable.”

Silvercrest Housing is a two building complex consisting of 15 bachelor and eight - 1 bedroom units, providing hous-ing for low income seniors and persons with disabilities.

The complex is located along the Tulameen River, close to the Trans Canada Trail and the downtown core.

Princeton and District Community Services located at 47 Harold Avenue (blue building beside the water park) is accepting applications for Silvercrest. There are currently vacancies to fill. Rent will be based on 30 per cent of income for all new tenants. Call 250-295-6666 for more informa-tion.

Community Services is pleased to have this new oppor-tunity to support affordable housing in Princeton and looks forward to working with residents, BC Housing and the community in providing safe, attractive, low cost housing for our senior population.

Princeton, BC — “My quest would not be a selfish one. I could not leave knowing these faces and feelings would still exist, even though I would be set free from mine.” The people who look for the possibilities in an impossible task often make the difference, and Terry Fox was one of those people. It was Terry’s determination towards his ultimate goal – to outrun cancer – that exemplifies the importance of leading by example. Terry ran 5,373 kilometers and 143 days with the goal of seeking a cure for those affected by cancer and giving those around him something to hold onto – hope.

This year marks the 33rd annual Terry Fox Run and the commu-nity of Princeton needs a volunteer Run Organizer to help keep Terry’s message alive. By becoming a Run Organizer, you become an inte-gral part of carrying Terry’s torch and helping Princeton contribute towards finding a cure for cancer. Last year, the Terry Fox Foundation raised over $26 million for cancer research, and with your help we aim to build off of that. The Foundation will help anyone who is interested in volunteering to be an Organizer

through the planning process. It is incredibly important that someone steps forward immediately for this meaningful cause, as the Run is fast approaching and is taking place on Sunday September 15th.

“It would be such a shame for the people of Princeton to miss out on an opportunity to keep Terry’s legacy alive as every community no matter how big or small can make a huge impact, just as Terry learned when a small town of 10,000 people raised over $10,000”, says Donna White, Provincial Director for the Terry Fox Foundation BC & Yukon. Every contribution matters, and like Terry, we will continue to work together to outrun cancer.

If you are interested in becom-ing the Princeton volunteer Run Organizer, please contact Donna White, Provincial Director at the Terry Fox Foundation by email at [email protected] or by phone at 1-888-836-9786. Remember, the Runs are non-com-petitive and all inclusive; the regis-tration fee is by donation and there is no minimum pledge amount.

Randolph Westphal ~ To share is to inspire

Inspiration comes in many forms. One such form is the story of a man who travels the world to prove that odds can be beaten and that people should never give up.

In 1987 Randolph Westphal, was diagnosed with malig-nant melanoma(skin cancer). He ended up having to have lymph nodes removed and doctors told him he most likely would only live for another six months to a year.

Westphal didn’t believe what the doctors had to say. “No doctor can heal you…doctors can treat you and do opera-tions but the healing comes from you, it starts in your mind,” he said. “I am a very good example, I like to live.”

In 1989 Westphal began his travels to prove to himself and to others that, “he wasn’t dead.” For the next almost 25 years, he has shared his story with numerous people in cities and towns throughout the globe.

During those 25 years Westphal has undergone 28 can-cer surgeries, four of them life threatening. While riding in Argentina he met with the most dangerous creature he ever met—a human.

Westphal and his companion Shir Khan, a wolf malamute were hit by a truck. The truck actually rolled over the two travellers. “The guy picked me up and threw me in the ditch and covered me up,” said Westphal. Sadly, Shir Khan died at the scene and Westphal was found by a passerby four hours later.

He suffered from loss of speech, taste, smell and his memory. 40 surgeries to keep his leg and a total of five years to recover. Keeping notes and revisiting places he travelled to have helped him recover the memories lost. He has also undergone both hip and knee replacement surgeries.

During a check up in Quebec in 1990 Westphal’s doctor asked if he would like to talk to patients, to share his experi-ence. He agreed and to do so and his first speaking engage-ment was arranged.

“Many media, television, patients… I am close to heart attack but I start talking,” said Westphal…”I talked to cancer patients, they cried and I thought I had said something incor-rect in my bad English.”

Westphal giggles as he explained that the first English he experienced was, “Ladies and gentlemen fasten your seatbelts and stop smoking.” Westphal has since and continues to speak at schools, universities and what ever groups ask him to share his story.

Another of his many achievements was marked in August of 1997 when he received his certificate from Guinness World Records saluting his record of man and dog (Shir Khan) biking-travelling 73,000 km.

On May 4 of this year, 55 year old Randolph Westphal and his family flew into Vancouver from Frankurt Germany to begin his sixth world tour.

Westphal’s family consists of his dogs, Chinook, who is the great grandson of Shir Khan, and Nanook. They are his pets, companions and his protectors. “We have had experience with wolf and bear,” said Westphal, “they take care of me.”

They travel in all weather, in all temperatures. -51 is the coldest temperature they have endured.

Travelling from Hope to Princeton included the, “longest hills I’ve had to climb in 25 years,” said Westphal during a stop at the Sandman Inn in Princeton on May 14.

It was pouring rain during that part of his trip. Westphal had stopped in at Manning Park to rest and even though the park was closed at the time, the manager gave Westphal both food and lodging for a night.

Westphal does his best to keep a budget of under $20 a day to feed him and his family. Support of lodging and dona-tions are most gratefully accepted to aid him in his journey and spreading his message of hope. To explain why he keeps going, Westphal said simply, “The greatest gift God give us is the gift of life - the greatest loss is to return it unopened.”

After a stay at the Evergreen Motel, Westphal continued his journey on through Keremeos. Significant problems with his knee altered his course and he headed towards Kelowna instead of the original plan for Osoyoos. He is currently trav-elling throughout the Okanagan towards his destination of Alaska.

Cellphone code caps roaming fees, offers early exit

Consumer advocates are applauding a new wireless code of conduct that lets Canadians cancel mobile phone contracts without penalty after two years and sets caps on data roaming charges.

The new code, unveiled Monday by federal regulators, applies on new contracts for mobile phones and other devices starting Dec. 2.

Besides the ability to escape three-year con-tracts without fees after two years, the new CRTC rules cap data overage fees at $50 a month and national and international data roaming fees at $100 a month, unless the user explicitly wants to use more.

“Canadians may finally now be freed of the worst of cellphone bill shock,” Public Interest Advocacy Centre executive director John Lawford said. “We hope that consumers will now be able to enjoy their wireless service fully and without fear.”

He said the code should reduce the mobile device costs of many users.

“It also makes it easier to switch companies because those costs are limited and are clear,” Lawford said.

Individuals and small business users will also be able to have their phones unlocked after 90 days or immediately if they paid the full price.

A 15-day return option is also promised to those who are unhappy with service, along with an easy-to-read contract and an ability to accept or decline key changes to a contract.

“The wireless code will contribute to a more dynamic marketplace by making it possible for Canadians to discuss their needs with service pro-viders at least every two years,” CRTC chair Jean-Pierre Blais said.

It’s not yet clear how major phone companies will react to the new rules.

“We already do a lot of what is in the new code,” Telus spokesman Shawn Hall said in an emailed statement.

He said Telus replaced contract cancellation charges with a device balance some years ago and already offers phone unlocking and a cap on inter-national data roaming.

“We are thus well positioned to support this new code,” Hall said, calling it “a strong and friendly set of protections.”

CAPRICORN: A friend needs your support more than ever, Capricorn. Go to great lengths to give this person what they need, even if it means rearranging your schedule.

AQUARIUS: An email or other correspondence from a past friend could stir up feelings you weren’t ready to deal with right now, Aquarius. Put this on the back burner until you are ready.

PISCES: Pisces, you are more interested in independence this week than hanging out in large groups. This includes hanging out with your spouse or partner.

ARIES: Don’t make assumptions this week, Aries. You just can’t trust your gut instincts too much right now. It’s better to get all of the facts and act accordingly.

TAURUS: Playing matchmaker isn’t so easy, Taurus. You have to understand when people are compatible and when there just isn’t a spark. Let this one go.

GEMINI: Gemini, you may have to pull back your focus on a problem in order to see it in a new light. Take some time away to regroup and then you can come back at full strength.

CANCER: A romantic relationship can be a balancing act, Cancer. You will learn this first hand this week when you have to come to a compromise with your partner.

LEO: Leo, don’t apologize if you feel like you have to go your own way this week. Even when everyone seems to be going in another direction, sometimes you just have to set your own course.

VIRGO: Virgo, while others may not be able to handle the confusion this week, you are fully capable of multi-tasking and making it through unscathed.

LIBRA: Libra, you may feel more emotionally charged this week but you still have to think with your head and not your heart. A financial decision may need to reassessed.

SCORPIO: Scorpio, look at a situation with a practical eye. Is this really the best answer for the time being? Although you may be leaning one way, you might want to reconsider.

SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, you need to get work done this week and that can’t happen when you are continually distracted. You might have to nip this one in the bud -- quickly.

FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY

Millions of people across the globe receive a cancer diagnosis each year. While that diagnosis can initially be devastating, it’s important to note that many cancer patients survive the disease and go on to live productive lives.

A healthy meal can provide the nourishment cancer survivors need as they get back in the swing of things and continue their lives going forward. And such meals need not be void of flavor, as the following recipe for “Asian Japonica Rice Salad With Edamame” from Rebecca Katz’

Asian Japonica Rice Salad With EdamameServes 8

2 teaspoons sea salt2 cups black Japonica rice, rinsed and

drained1 cup shelled edamame beans1 cup peeled and thinly sliced celery,

sliced diagonally1 cup peeled and shredded carrots1/2 red bell pepper, diced1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, green and

white parts, sliced diagonally

Dressing2 tablespoons brown rice vinegar3 tablespoons tamari1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger2 cloves garlic, minced

1/8 teaspoon cayenne1/4 cup sesame oil1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil3 tablespoons fresh lime juice1/8 teaspoon sea salt1/2 teaspoon maple syrup1 cup toasted cashews (see box)1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro1/2 cup chopped fresh basil1 tablespoon lightly toasted sesame seeds

(see

box)2 teaspoons fresh lime juiceIn a medium pot, bring 4 cups of water and

1 teaspoon salt to a boil over high heat. Add the rice and return to a boil. Cover, decrease the heat and simmer until tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Pour the rice onto a sheet pan and fluff with a fork to separate the grains and cool.

In another medium pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon salt and

blanch the edamame until just tender,

about 1 minute. Transfer to a colander, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

In a bowl, combine the rice, celery, carrot, red pepper, and scallions. Prepare the dressing by whisking the vinegar, tamari, ginger, garlic, cayenne, sesame oil, toasted sesame oil, lime juice, salt, and maple syrup together. Toss the rice mix-ture with the dressing. Stir in the beans, cashews (reserve a few for garnish), cilantro, and basil. Top with the sesame seeds and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve in a salad bowl, garnished with cashews.

Friends of Osprey Lake strike again

For the Sixth year in a row “The Friends of Osprey Lake” conducted their annual roadside cleanup. The weather was perfect for 23 par-ticipants including our youngest who is 7 years old. Volunteers covered a total of 9 sections including the Princeton-Summerland Road, Trans-Canada Trail, two forestry campsites, several public boat-launches and community side-roads.  This year they extended the clean-up to include Shinish Road to Jellicoe Road.

The trash included but was not limited to: beverage bottles/cans, metal, wood products, cardboard, plastic bottles/bags, tobacco relat-ed litter, glass, auto parts and other landfill

items. The load filled the box of a pickup truck and weighed approximately 800 pounds. Our workday wrapped up at Tellier’s for a pot-luck supper, relaxing campfire and tales about the most unusual items collected.

Many thanks go out to all the volunteer champions who help keep our area clean, safe and pleasant for all to enjoy. Special apprecia-tion goes to Norm Christman, Jill Pelland and Lynne Adams who transport, sort and dis-pose of the items for us. We are proud of our community and the Osprey Lake Association which posts cleanup information for us. 

Finally, we thank the town council of Princeton for waiving the landfill fees once again and helping make our event such a suc-cess. 

Terry TellierCoordinator Roadside Cleanup

Twenty-three “Friends of Osprey Lake” conducted their annual roadside cleanup over the May 25 week-end. They gathered approximately 800 pounds of trash.

Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists participated once again in the annual Meadowlark Festival on the Victoria Day weekend, an encompassing event which brings visitors from all over the province and beyond to the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys. An eclectic array of tours and activities relating to the natural world is presented, and Princeton’s contribution consisted of 2 field trips and a film presentation on Friday, May 17. Sue Elwell and Amanda Lahaie led a group along the KVR trail to the Vermilion Bluffs and the Hoodoos, spotting 30 species of birds along the way. Highlights were; a Lazuli Bunting, Great Horned Owl and Harlequin Duck. Trish Reid led another group of visitors around Swan Lake, where they saw Ruddy Ducks, Lesser Scaups and Cinnamon Teals, and were grateful to use the bird blinds as shelter from the inclement weather. In the evening a large group, mostly from out of

town, visited Princeton’s museum and viewed Jeff & Sue Turner’s impressive film, The Great Salmon Run. Thanks to the museum staff and volunteers for making this evening such a success.

Meanwhile, our club held its own field trip to Swan Lake on May 25, this one led by Charlotte Sellers. The weather cooperated on this day, wildflowers were abundant, and bird highlights were American Coots, Western Meadowlarks, American Coots, Tree and Barn Swallows, as well as a Turkey Vulture. Visitors to Swan Lake now enjoy a new picnic table, outhouse and an information board with new protective covering. Many thanks to Princeton Glass for helping with the latter.

Our next field trip will be a birding expedition on June 8, led by Peter Antonick and Janis Wright. Phone 295-7560 to confirm attendance and meet at Billy’s at 9 am. Please join us for our last meet-ing of the season, when Sue Elwell will give a pre-sentation on hummingbird banding. This will take place June 11, 7 p.m., at Riverside Centre.

Our unique qualities are what make us who we areThe morning we arrived in Princeton as permanent residents is seared into my mind.

A good part of the searing had to do with the epic trip from Drumheller through every weather condition known to humankind, starting with a December bliz-zard. But that story is for another day and I want to tell you today about something else.

After standing in awe and wondering at the stillness of the foggy morn-ing and those enormous Ponderosa pines, we and our pets fell exhausted onto the floor of our rented cottage and slept the sleep of the forgiven. Two hours later, we were awakened by a couple of trucks that pulled up outside our door and delivered a platoon of men. Before I could catch my breath, they were unloading the U-Haul van that contained all that we owned. The bewildered cat turned her back and headed for the nearby forest, the dog looked on approvingly (she was alpha female) and before too long, we were all in. The men shook hands and welcomed us to Princeton.

Paul went off to the office and I stood there, suffering from a variant of P.T.S.D., or something and decided to take a walk downtown.

One of the first things I noticed was that the streets of Princeton were so clean. I had arrived with some preconceived ideas regarding what to expect so that was my first pleasant surprise. The next thing that I noticed was a man - you know, the logger type, and he was kneeling on the sidewalk petting a little spaniel!

Not the kind of dog I expected to see hanging around the streets of a mill/mining town. Perhaps I’d need to rethink my expectations.

As the days passed, I grew to appreciate the way folks looked you in the eye and when they asked you how you were, they really wanted to know. The kids said “Hi!” and if you left your wallet in the bank, they searched out your phone number and called you to come and get it. Then there were folks like Bing who apparently spoke French on a good day, and Dave, the crossing guard—the best guard ever.

Of course there were aggravations but they were things that made you think of family and how even on the days you wanted to scream, they were the same folks who would be there for you in times of trouble or grief.

So why am I telling you this? I’m getting a message that when tourists visit Princeton, they are picking up what I now take for granted, and that is that our unique qualities are what make us who we are collectively. We don’t need to try to be anything else. We already are interesting. We have our own culture which isn’t limited to the arts. Rather, the arts are our expression of who we are, the language that is best used to express our

character, history and the things we value. We have so much to say about ourselves that our visitors want to hear. Lets keep

talking!
