Similkameen Spotlight, May 08, 2013

Doctors working to raise the profile of a pro-posed expansion project at Penticton Regional Hospital were rewarded this week with fresh com-mitments from B.C. political leaders, but physi-cians aren’t letting down their guard yet.

“We’re not going away until the shovel’s in the ground,” Dr. Susan Tebbutt said Friday, moments after NDP leader Adrian Dix reaffirmed his com-mitment to building the four-storey ambulatory care tower.

Tebbutt and the rest of the Penticton Medical Society have been working since last year to rally public support for the $300-million ambulatory care tower and get to it on the political radar. The mission was accomplished this week when the tower became a provincial election campaign issue.

“It’s certainly getting a lot of discussion and play, and that is what we want,” Tebbutt said.

She said what doctors need now is a firm commitment from politicians to the project as conceived.

“We want them to come out publicly and sup-port exactly what it is we’re proposing. We don’t want them to downgrade the project. We don’t want them to take off any floors.

An incredible project dedicated to Princeton’s Air Cadet Squadron 217 saw completion this past Saturday with the offi-cial dedication and release of 420 Eva Nichole.

The wind vane, a T-33 Jet now marks the entrance of the Princeton Airport.

This project from start to finish took approximately two and a half years to complete with much appreciation for the assistance of many individuals and businesses.

Roy Harker along with friends; Hank Rabe and Gord Walker (instrumental in the project) were given thanks by the Town of Princeton for their work and dedication.

Honour Guard for the dedication was provided by members

of the Princeton Legion Branch #56; Doreen Poulsen, Jean Lindsay, Wayne Terepocki, Chuck Whitlock, Bernadette Kelleher and Legion president, Jim Turner.

Sgt. Jay Harker, Mayor Frank Armitage and Legion Ambassador Candidate Destiny Earle revealed the dedica-tion plaque, the donor silhouettes and assisted Roy Harker in the ribbon cutting ceremony.

People who went up to visit the site prior to the dedica-tion and during were invited to write a message to be placed within the time capsule set in the nose of the T-33 by Sgt. Jay Harker.

Roy Harker’s granddaughter Nichole was raised up to reveal the nose art designed in her honour. (Eva Nichole)

How to find a Gypsy’s HeartLisa Carleton

[email protected]

Asking your family about your ancestral heritage can lead you into a world full of interesting surprises.

Gail Davies found out while speaking with her father that her background included Gypsies as well as the more usual professions such as; “preachers, teachers and bankers.”

This little bit of information stuck with Davies as she ventured forth to ‘find some-thing to do with her skills.’

Davies is a personal shopper —yes, that’s right. She will take your information, your shopping list and go do your clothing shopping for you.

“I just love shopping” she said. Combining her love with her talent for shop-

ping, Davies created and opened her store, A Gypsy’s Heart at the beginning of April, this year.

Inside A Gypsy’s Heart, men and women will find a mixture of new and “up-cycled clothing,” as Davies says. Up-cycled meaning “great prod-ucts that just needed a minor fix.”

Young ladies who will graduate this year may just want to check out the gowns available in the store. If you are looking for originality, classic or timeless design, stop in.

While browsing in A Gypsy’s Heart, don’t be surprised if a few artistic treasures or household items grab your attention.

Davies had been looking for the past year to find “just the right spot” for her store.

She really likes the uniqueness of her retail space (shape and size) and loves being located next to Veterans Square park. “It’s gorgeous,” she said, “Princeton is beautiful and we are all worthy of good things.”

Davies says she chose a crazy name, but she’s a bit wacky and if it’s going to help people—then she’s going to do it.

“Everyone needs a bit of pizzazz and curios-ity,” she said with a smile.

If you haven’t been in, stop by soon and you’ll see exactly what it is that Davies is talking about.

A Gypsy’s Heart is located at 117 Vermilion Avenue. Hours of operation are; Monday through Friday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Remember as well, If you are one that just hates to shop, but loves to look fashionably fabu-lous, don’t forget to stop in to see Gail Davies. She loves to shop and she’ll be happy to go do it for you.

We don’t want them to remove the helipad,” Tebbutt said.“We want the timeline and we want a firm commitment that exactly what

we’re proposing is going to be built. And (from) neither party, we haven’t heard that exactly yet. So we’re waiting.”

At numerous campaign events this week, including in Penticton, Liberal leader Christy Clark claimed the NDP would cancel the hospital project if it forms government.

Dix denied that claim Friday at an event staged directly across the street from PRH.

“We’ve said clearly in our platform that we’re going to maintain the proj-ects that are in place now, including, and especially, the Penticton Regional Hospital project, but also including the prison project near Oliver,” he said.

“It’s time to move now, and if an NDP government is elected, this hospi-tal project will be built.”

Dix added that Clark saying otherwise was “incredibly disrespectful,” and amounted to “threatening people if they don’t re-elect you that you won’t get your hospital.”

Dan Ashton, the Liberal candidate for the Penticton riding, wouldn’t say Friday if he believes Dix will actually follow through on his commitment should the NDP form government.

“What I want to say is that the hospital is incredibly important for the citizens of Penticton and the South Okanagan-Similkameen,” Ashton said. “And the Liberal government builds capital projects (and) has a proven track record of doing that.

Ashton also said he’s concerned about how B.C. would pay for the NDP leader’s promises.“Mr. Dix has been running around this province committing billions of dollars… to projects that he says that he’s going to

build,” Ashton said. “And my questions is: Where is that money coming from? If it’s coming from the normal NDP source, that’s on the back of the taxpayers.”

Residents were given the opportunity to speak with and ask questions of the local candidates running in the upcoming election. Michael Beauclair BC Conservative Party, Harry Lali BC NDP, John Kidder Green Party of BC and Jackie Tegart BC Liberal Party participated in the forum for the Fraser - Nicola riding. Approximately 75 residents turned out to listen to and speak to the candidates.Advance polls will be at the Legion Wednesday, May 8 to Saturday, May 11 and on Tuesday, May 14. All polls are open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

South Okanagan Traffic Services has conducted an inten-sive investigation into the Highway 3 fatal motor vehicle crash just outside Hedley on March 30, 2013. The investigation included the assistance of the Penticton Forensic Identification Section, Collision Reconstructionist and Pathologists.

Multiple versions of the incident were received by SOTS investigators, primarily involving the identity of the driver. Forensic and physical evidence is consistent with the deceased male, Steven Roy (29 years old, no fixed address), being the driver of the vehicle at the time of the incident. Some residents of Hedley had identified another male being the actual driver of the vehicle.

Forensic and physical evidence has eliminated this male as being a possible occupant of the vehicle at the time of the col-lision.

SOTS will not be recommending any charges in relation to this incident.

Terms to know before going to the rodeoThe growing popularity of rodeo, which, accord-ing to the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Asso-ciation, attracts 30 million fans each year, has piqued the curiosity of many people who have never before attended a rodeo or watched an event on television. Upon discovering the rodeo, men, women and children often find it as com-pelling if not more compelling than most popu-lar mainstream sports.For those interested in rodeo but uncertain about its terminology, the following are a few terms to know, courtesy of the PRCA.* Barrelman: An entertainer who uses a barrel to distract a bull after a ride. Such distractions sometimes protect the cowboy.* Breaking the barrier: This occurs during a timed event when a rider leaves the box too soon, failing to give the bull a sufficient head start. Riders who break the barrier are assessed a 10-second penalty.* Bullfighter: An athlete who protects the bull

rider after he dismounts or is bucked off. A bull-fighter can distract the bull by directing its atten-tion to the exit gate or even stepping between the bull and the bull rider.

* Chute: a pen that holds an animal safely in position.* Covering: this oc-curs during roughstock events when a rider stays on at least the minimum time of eight seconds.* Draw: Conducted three days before each PRCA rodeo, the draw is random and assigns each

roughstock competitor a specific buck-ing horse or bull. Time-event contestants are assigned a calf or steer in a random on-site draw shortly before each rodeo begins.* Flags: used in rodeo’s timed events so judges can signal the timers to stop the clocks. Judges in the arena will drop the flags.* Flankman: a cowboy or cowgirl who works in the bucking chutes, adjusting the flant strap around the animal before the ride.* Go-round: each round of competition in a rodeo.* Hazer: the cowboy who rides on the right side of the steer from the contestant to make sure the steer runs straight.* Hooey: the knot a cowboy uses to finish tying the calf ’s legs together in tie-down roping.* Piggin’ string: the small rope used to tie a calf ’s legs together in tie-down roping.* Rank: an adjective of praise and respect used to describe especially challenging roughstock.* Riggin’: a suitcase-style handhold customized to a rider’s grip and attached to a molded piece of leather that is cinched, with a pad, around the horse’s girth.* Roughstock: the bucking horses and bulls used in bareback riding, saddle bronc riding and bull riding, usually bred and raised for the job.* Stock contractors: the companies that bring

livestock to the arena for rodeos.* Triple Crown Winner: a cowboy who wins three world championships in the same year.

Thoughts on electionSpotlightOPINION

VICTORIA – When Adrian Dix took over as B.C. NDP leader two years ago, he struggled to communicate, especially in the sound bites of radio and TV.

There was a running joke in the legislature press gallery: It didn’t matter what question you asked him, you got a six-minute answer that ended with the evils of log exports.

Even more than under Carole James, the NDP railed against log exports. “B.C. logs for B.C. jobs” became one of Dix’s favorite slogans. As the election approached, another Dixism was heard daily: “Say what you’re going to do, say how you’re going to pay for it.”

So it was a surprise a few weeks ago when the NDP signaled it would essentially not offer a policy on log exports. They’re going to meet with “stakeholders” and come up with a plan after they get a majority government.

This is exactly the same non-policy the NDP had in 2009. They don’t have an answer to the industry’s point that the high price gained by premium logs in foreign markets is what keeps many loggers working, and subsidizes the harvest of other logs for B.C. coastal mills.

Another thing the NDP doesn’t like is private power develop-ment. This issue featured prominently in the NDP leadership contest two years ago.

Leadership contender Mike Farnworth told the party faithful he would study independent power purchase contracts, and if he found that they are not in the public interest, he would “mend them or end them.” Another leadership hopeful, energy critic John Horgan, allowed that he would “break” contracts if neces-sary.

By this spring, Dix had a new non-position on power purchase contracts. He will “assess them and address them.” The printed platform promises a review “within the limits of existing con-

tracts.” Either they plan to risk a costly legal battle, or they’re just paying lip service. All you have to do to find out is elect them.

Labour code changes are another blank slate. A memo from the B.C. Federation of Labour executive to members last year described how they were work-ing closely with the NDP to rewrite B.C. labour law.

The NDP election platform punts this issue until after the election as well, promising an independent expert panel to decide on issues like whether to end secret-ballot votes for union certification.

This isn’t just a bad idea, it’s a 30-year-old bad idea. It’s based on the destructive old notion that employers are the enemy of workers, and only a union can protect them. The long decline of union

membership in the private sector isn’t caused by employer bullying or secret-ballot votes that protect employees’ freedom of choice. The cause is global competition. The only protection workers have from that is their own efficiency.

Balancing the budget? An NDP government will strive to do that over “the business cycle,” says finance critic Bruce Ralston. Old-timers might remember this one. It’s taken from the NDP’s 1991 election platform.

Yes, 22 years ago there was a widespread belief in a predictable four-year cycle of commodity prices and other economic determi-nants. Whatever was left of that dusty, faded picture was erased with the financial collapse of 2008.

If you still believe in a predictable “business cycle,” you may be willing to accept that an NDP-led B.C. will become the first juris-diction in human history to eliminate poverty, by setting annual targets and paying out borrowed money to low-income parents.

On ferries, fracking, union contracts, capital construction and other weighty matters, the NDP’s answer is the same: trust us.

“Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press”

NDP to voters: trust us

SPOTLIGHTThe Similkameen

BC Viewstom flEtChEr

I’m concerned that many British Columbians are more focused on “change” for the sake of change rather than electing the party most likely to foster job creation and financial stability. Our province’s resource endowment has always been a mainstay of both jobs and the generation of rev-enues needed to fund social programs. From what I have seen and heard, an NDP government would rev-up spending while stymieing resource develop-ment through endless environmental reviews and or by just saying “no”, driving investment to other provinces and other countries. We need new mines and gas fields, pipelines, refineries, ports and pro-cessing plants to replace jobs lost by tech change and by events like the pine beetle catastrophe

Economic development and the protection of the environment are not mutually exclusive. Yes, we must be good stewards of our beautiful province, we do have the technology to move the economy forward in an environmentally responsible manner. Saying no to new projects will mean job losses for currently employed and no opportunity for young people looking to join the work force.

We also need to focus on balancing the provin-cial budget, rather than taking money away from social programs to fund rising interest costs. Forty years of experience in business has taught me that too much debt is crippling. It scares me that the NDP have rolled out billions of dollars in new spending during this campaign, and their “every dollar is accounted for” rhetoric just isn’t credible because their anti-development attitude will reduce revenue at the same time as spending rises.

There is truth to the adage, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. The NDP came to power in 1991 and governed the rest of that decade. Investment dried up and economic growth trailed the rest of Canada. A low point came when the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce thanked the BC government for driving growth investment in Alberta. Glenn Clark’s 1996-1999 tenure was arguably the most disastrous for BC and with Adrian Dix, Premier Clark’s former Chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very wor-ried about history repeating itself.

It took many years for the Liberals to repair the damage. During their time in government, North America suffered through a major recession and yet we now have a triple-A credit rating, higher than the US government, allowing BC taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates

Have the Liberals done everything right? Certainly not. The introduction of the HST by the Campbell government was badly handled. There have been other gaffes and ill thought out policies. While there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change long governing parties, it’s impor-tant to think about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a mountain of debt.

I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully. And then get out and vote on May 14.

Dear Editor;Now that the time for promises has begun and our politicians are try-

ing to get us to believe in them again, I have a few thoughts again about the whole affair.

At least one of the leaders is honest enough to admit that ‘politics in BC’ has become a dirty word. When I look at the situation in our own neck of the woods only one hopeful candidate has opened a campaign office in our town. If that is an indication of how much the electorate in our small town count to the rest of the parties, it’s a very sad state for our province. If the people of Princeton don’t, then how much do the people of other small towns count in the system of politics?

Personally, I don’t think that showing up one or two times for the “All Candidates Meeting” is little more than a slap in the face for most of us.

Oh well folks, we should be well trained already not to expect too much from our politicians when it comes to things like integrity, honesty and democracy, we can only hire our politicians and listen to a contro-versy and scandal until the next election.

The fact of the matter happens to be, when nothing changes, nothing will change.

Yukon Eric HolopainenPrinceton, BC

Dear Editor,Sometimes when I consider the difference

between government statements and government actions I am puzzled. The BC government’s deci-sion to cease funding the Therapeutics Initiative is a good example. Operating out of UBC, this program has been providing doctors and phar-macists with unbiased, evidence based informa-tion concerning drug therapies. Drug companies spend billions each year attempting to convince doctors to prescribe their products.

I am puzzled at the cessation of funding for TI because Premier Clark has repeatedly stressed that her government will be watchful of taxpayer dollars and work hard to reduce provincial debt. The government’s budget for the Therapeutics Initiative in the last fiscal year was $550,000. According to a 2008 survey by TI, the information it provides has helped BC achieve the lowest per capita prescription rate in Canada. The research has saved us millions, and more importantly, it has saved lives. Independent drug policy researchers agree.

In one leadership debate, every leader other than the premier expressed support for the Therapeutics Initiative.

I wonder how many candidates for political office are prepared to press for the reinstatement of funding for this program, which is important for our health and our economy.

Art MartensHedley, BC

Dear Editor, Never heard of Green Party

leader Ms. Jane Sterk before. She won’t form the next government but she would be a great voice for BCers.

The two women maximized their natural gifts -- they talked much better and more than the two men. Some politicians have spent years in a delicatessen and are expert in spreading the balo-ney. Responsible ones use simple horse sense rather than the bull and succumb to looking like the end that follows the front.

The leaders lacked inspiring , innovative bold policies, large and small. For example: A connection to Vancouver Island by tunnel, or combination of tunnels,floating

islands and bridges, or aerial zip line or lease or sell the Island to the Chinese.

The 21st century is theirs and they’d resolve it “tout suite”.[Canada’s other language]

The leaders also should support a income tax exemption on lottery tickets for children’s hospital, burn unit or hospital foundation etc.

The fractured political parties appear stuck together with sub-standard imported crazy glue and our decade of stability and prog-ress will revert back to the dark ages of the lost 1990s decade. Depends on the team.

Will they be our reflection?

Joe SchwarzPenticton BC

Dear Editor,There has been much discussion in the media surrounding

the cost of electricity in recent months, and for good reason since it’s something we all rely on every day and have come to expect to be safe and reliable.

In particular, the residential conservation rate that was implemented in July 2012 has caused many of our customers to speak out. Most of our customers will benefit from this rate, but we are sensitive to the fact that some customers will pay more.

The BC Utilities Commission mandated that FortisBC implement the residential conservation rate after looking at variety of different rates and considering the bill impact on customers, including high-use customers, electric heat custom-ers, low income customers and customers in different locations. The BCUC approved a residential conservation rate that would result in 75 per cent of customers seeing lower annual bills and only five per cent of customers seeing an annual increase of more than 10 per cent due to the new rate.

While we know some customers are seeing increases, par-ticularly in the winter, approximately 75 per cent of customers will have lower bills averaged throughout the year. To look at it another way, if we went back to billing using a flat rate, a majority of customers would have higher annual bills for electricity.

As part of the decision from the BCUC, FortisBC is required to provide a summary on the effectiveness of the resi-dential conservation rate and whether it is increasing conserva-tion amongst our customers. This review is currently underway and will include consideration of feedback from customers.

FortisBC understands that any increase can be a hardship for some customers and encourages those customers to get in touch with us directly to see if we can help. Please call us at 1-866-436-7847 or visit our website at fortisbc.com/rcr to learn more about the residential conservation rate.

Sincerely,Tom LoskiFortisBC, vice president customer service

In Canada, one in three families can-not afford to enrol their children in organized sport or recreation activities because of financial barriers (Vision Critical 2011).

Six years ago, Marlee Stein wanted to learn to skate but she didn’t think it would be possible coming from a family of four kids and facing the struggles of a parent battling illness.

Through a family support service in her community, Marlee and her fam-ily were introduced to Canadian Tire Jumpstart. The Jumpstart program sup-ported Marlee’s skating lessons and skate Canada membership through financial assistance.

A year after lacing up her skates for the first time, Marlee decided to turn her desire to skate into a goal...to one-day join the Canadian Olympic Figure Skating team. Through Jumpstart, Marlee is able to continue her skating lessons and is working to achieve this dream.

“Jumpstart helped me get the lessons I needed to enter some very challenging provincial and national figure skating competitions in Canada,” said Marlee Stein. “With all the lessons I have taken, I hope it opens up opportunities to even-tually become a part of the Canadian Olympic team.”

“The benefits of kids participating in sports affects their entire lives,” said Johnny Misley, President, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities. “Jumpstart is dedicated to removing barriers so finan-cially disadvantaged children can simply participate, and ultimately pusue their dreams.”

Kids who are able to participate in organized sport and recreation, outside school hours, gain many short and long term benefits including increased self esteem, greater self confidence, leader-ship skills, and better grades.

Despite the financial hardships many Canadian families face, there is a way to get kids into the game, no matter what barrier. By covering the cost of registration, equipment and/or transpor-tation, Canadian Tire Jumpstart has helped 570,000 (and counting) children like Marlee participate in the sport of their choice.

Applications for assistance can be submitted from January 15 to June 1 for spring/summer programs, and from July 1 to November 1 for fall/winter programs.

Call 1-877-616-6600. Based on your postal code, a Call Centre representa-tive will provide a contact on the closest Canadian Tire Jumpstart Chapter.

Help kids by donating $2 in exchange

for a red ball, with 100% of all donations going to help kids play. The May cam-paign will be celebrated on Jumpstart Day on Saturday, May 25, with fun activities taking place at participating Canadian Tire Retail stores across the country, including charity barbeque’s or GoClean waterless car washes.

One in three Canadian kids are left on the side of the rink

For me, fishing with only five flies would be practically impossible. As a fly tier of more than 60 years (I started at age seven), hot patterns that are catching lots of trout are always of great interest to me. Now back to the title, Five Flies. For the sake of discussion I’ll limit myself to five of my favourites, which should catch the trout in most streams and lakes in our region.

1) The Royal Coachman - I’ve met few fly fisherman that didn’t favour this fly. It was invented by an Englishman in the days when horses were the means of transportation - 1200s. Fishing history has it that the man who tied the first Royal Coachman was a fisherman and also a coachman to English royalty, so it has been used and caught many fish over a long time. It looks like nothing in nature, but sure catches fish. Sizes 10-16 are best in our local streams and lakes.

2) Doctor Spratley - The best all around fly for our rainbow and brook trout. I use hooks size 8-12 tied with black or olive green bodies. I prefer the wings to be made from pheasant rump feathers, the soft grey-green ones at the base of the tail. They give the Spratley a life-like motion in the water. Popular colours are red, black, dark or light green and brown. Sizes 12, 10, 8 and 6 are good imitations of these larva of dragon fly. Fish patiently and let the line, a sinking fly line, get down to where the fish are, right off the bottom. Fish the fly slowly as you try to imitate the crawling movement of the live insect.

3) Chironomid (Blood Worm) - If more than 80% of our lake rainbows (Kamloops trout) diet consists of Chironomids, it just makes good sense to fish with Chironomids, so my fly boxes are bulging with about 40 % of them being Chironomids. Notice I said boxes! I no longer put all my flies in one box. Anyway, they would not all fit. In fact if it is windy I stand a good chance, if not careful, of having some pop out and fall into the grass or rocks or water and be lost. I am reminded of

a traumatic experience I had as a “budding” 14 year old fly fisher. My fly box with every fly I owned fell, landed open and upside down in Lester River. As I watched them, about 35 flies floating rapidly down stream, I wondered if any trout would rise to one or more of them. Then, being a stoic Norwegian-America boy, I cried silently over my loss. I might have also said out loud something that my English teacher and other adults would not approve of. This happened in the early 1950s. Chironomid larvae are small so buy or tie them in sizes 12 to 18. It is a good idea when starting to fish with them to watch

carefully how a veteran Chironomid fisherman does it.

4) Muddler Minnow - This deer hair fly is a great mute purpose pattern that imitates minnows, grass hoppers, large sedges like the traveling sedge and almost any large insect that accidentally falls in the water. Silver bodied muddlers seem to work best for me I use large sizes 4-6 as well as 12-14 tied on 3XL hooks. Many of the trout catch seem to eat this fly very vigorously resulting in lots of excitement, sometimes surprises too. It is an amazing fly that can be fished in rivers, lakes and even in the ocean with great results.

5) Tom Thumb - Until I moved to Princeton in 1969, I had never heard of the Tom Thumb.

But since then I’ve been converted to their use! I wouldn’t fish trout anywhere without a bunch of Tom Thumbs in my fly box and many fellow fly fishers mention an interesting fact about them. The more trout caught and more torn up these fragile deer hair flies get, the better they attract fish! I use size 8-12 most often.

Well, there are my five favourite flies. Good fishing to you in 2013! Don’t forget to change your spinning line or fly leader before you go out to the lake. It would be a shame to lose a good fish because your old line/leader had become weak with age.

Princeton Similkameen - August 19, 2010

Call Gardner Chevrolet Buick GMC at 604-869-9511, or visit us at 945 Water Avenue, Hope. [License #7287]

Beginning the thank-you’s, Harker began first and foremost by thanking his wife Myra and then Hank Rabe, Gord Walker and Burke Bullington.

A special thanks was given to Kelowna Flight Craft for saving the jet from the scrap yard and to Captain Dave Eccott for giving the T-33 to Harker and his crew.

The Town of Princeton, Dave Woodruff and the Airport Committee are very much appreci-ated for the support extended.

Supplies and product for the plane were pro-vided with thanks to; Envirogreen, Princeton Redi-Mix, Dana Stevens, Terry Wright, Mac’s Auto Parts, Image Emporium, Rolo Ceccon, Burke Bullington, Mike Grgich, Gerry Leduc, Jerry McKay, John Bey, FortisBC (Princeton crew), Dawn Gardner, Weyerhaeuser and Penticton Powder Coat.

Wayne Bamford is appreciated for sharing his talent with painting of the T-33.

Financial contributions from the following are greatly appreciated; Jim Byrne, John Allison, Ken Huff, Marg Rabe, Garry Harker, Legion Branch #56, Hank Rabe, Gord Walker, Len Harker, Russell Biagioni and Glen Sellers.

Thanks as well, were given to Mac Lind Logging and operator Reed Lind, for placement of the T-33.

Final landscaping work was done with the help of Hank Rabe, Roy Harker, Dana Stevens and John Haigh.

To complete the dedication, emcee Councillor Jason Earle asked Gord Walker and his grand-daughter Kate, to “release 420 Eva Nichole.”

420 Eva Nichole now ‘flies high and proud’ in honour of Squadron 217 and welcomes visitors to the Princeton Airport.

420 EVA NICHOLE - from page 1

420 is the call sign of the T-33, Eva Nichole named for Roy Harker’s grand-daughter.

CAPRICORN: Capricorn, an event this week gets you fired up and excited. It could be the news you have been waiting to hear from work or from a significant other.

AQUARIUS: Aquarius, knowing when to keep quiet can be difficult, especially when you suspect something is off-kilter. This week you will be put to the test.

PISCES: Pisces, the week may begin somewhat aimlessly, but things will all come together by the middle of the week.

ARIES: Aries, you may feel like you need to move faster to get ahead, but the opposite is true this week. Slow down and focus on the details and you will benefit.

TAURUS: Taurus, though the first few days of the week may seem disastrous, hang in there and you will find things will turn around quite quickly.

GEMINI: Gemini, sometimes you have to make some noise to be heard, which may seem out of character for you. If the cause is that important, you will do what is necessary.

CANCER: Cancer, you can’t get enough of a certain thing, but you may need to pace yourself. Otherwise your interest may start to wane. A surprise situation arises on Thursday.

LEO: Leo, there are things you need to say to a particular person in your life. But you do not know how to express your opinions in a way that’s easy to understand. Speak from the heart.

VIRGO: You may be feeling a bit under the weather this week, Virgo. It’s likely due to you pushing your schedule to the limits. Schedule some recovery time for yourself.

LIBRA: Libra, you need to rely on someone this week for a big project, but you don’t know who to choose. Make a list of your best prospects, and then you can narrow it down from there.

SCORPIO: You can use a break from the daily grind, Scorpio. It might be time to plan a getaway. You may want to make this a solo trip so you can fully recharge.

SAGITTARIUS: The truth can sometimes hurt a bit, Sagittarius. But a dose of honesty this week provides the reality check you have been needing. Make some changes.

FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY

Enjoy a dinEr burgEr at homE

Diners are a popular place to gather with friends and family for a hearty and often inexpensive meal. Many diners boast special-ty items, but nearly every diner has hamburg-ers on its menu, and diner burgers are often made to perfection. But hamburger enthusi-asts don’t need to head out to a local diner when craving a diner-style burger. Thanks to the following recipe for a “Hamburger With All the Fixins” from Jennifer Joyce’s “Diner” (Ryland, Peters & Small), you can now enjoy a diner-style hamburger from the comforts of your own dinner table.

Hamburger With All the “Fixins”Serves 41 pound ground beef or ground sirloin1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce1/2 teaspoon each of salt and freshly

ground black pepper4 thick-seeded buns or Kaiser rolls

Fixins4 tablespoons mayonnaise4 pieces crisp iceberg lettuce4 thin beefsteak tomato slices16 pickle slices or peppadew peppers4 paper-thin slices red onion Yellow mustard and ketchup

French fries, to serve

In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Form into four equal-sized burger patties.

Heat a grill pan or skillet until very hot. Lightly toast the buns and set aside. Season the burgers on both sides. Pan-fry the burg-ers over medium heat for about 3 minutes on each side for medium; cook slightly longer

for well done. Alternatively, you can cook everything on an outdoor barbecue.

Spread the mayonnaise and a little mus-tard on the bottom of each bun. Lay down a piece of lettuce and top with a burger. Squirt some ketchup on each and top with the tomatoes, pickle and onions. Top with the other side of the bun. Serve with french fries. PC135182

DAPONTE, David Bernardo September 29, 1928 ~ April 28, 2013

It is with great sadnessthat we say farewell to a great

husband, father and friend. David immigrated to Canada from Portugal

in 1955 where he began his new life working to fulfi ll his life dreams. Eventually settling in the Coalmont/Tulameen, British Columbia area, he spent most of his working years with the Department of Highways. He leaves behind a loving family including devoted wife Maria Julieta, son David,

daughter Linda (Darren), son Neil (Tania) as well as grandchildren Tanner, Skylar, Zachary, Jordan, and

Alexis. Anyone privileged to have met or known David will know of his kind heart, unique ability to laugh and have fun with everyone of all ages, and commitment to accept everyone in to his home to enjoy their company.

~Dad will be truly missed, but not forgotten~

Jay Harker, Mayor Frank Armitage and Legion Ambassador Candidate Destiny Earle reveal the dedication plaque and donor silhouettes during the dedication of 420 Eva Nichole on Saturday, May 4.


Members of the Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists delighted in a full day of birding on Saturday, April 27, as 11 of us, led by Trish Reid, ambled for hours along the back roads of the South Okanagan Valley. Our dili-gence was rewarded, for we observed 52 species of birds, including White-throated Swifts and Canyon Wrens at the bluffs across from Vaseux Lake. We spotted several turtles at the aptly named Turtle Pond, and a myriad of ducks at Blue Lake, including the

uncommon Redhead. Later in the day we were lucky enough to see a Peregrine Falcon, as well as a Rough-legged Hawk. Our dispositions were as sunny as the weather with all these avian sightings!

Our next field trip will be led by Blaine Marsel, who will take us hiking up the Cinder Cone on May 11. Confirm with Blaine at 295-3404 and meet at Billy’s at 9 a.m. Our next meeting will be held May 14, 7 p.m .,at Riverside Centre, when guest speaker Murphy Schewchuk will give a presentation on strategies for fine nature photography. Please join us.
