The woman behind Princeton’s new rainbow crosswalk was inspired to present the idea to town council by a downtown business owner, Trish Coyne, who recently gave her storefront a bright new paint job.

“Together with their neighbor’s store it gave a spark to that side of the street,” said Nienke Klaver, a local artist.

Noting the idea came around the time of the well-publicized US Supreme Court decision to allow gay marriage she said: “I thought it would be nice to add even more color to Bridge Street and have a rainbow crosswalk.”

The crosswalk, between the post office and Veteran’s Square, was completed last week after council after approved the $2,000 expenditure.

Klaver acknowledged the colorful statement has received mixed reviews.

“Initially there were only two or three people who did not like the idea, however once town council had agreed to the proposal the idea seemed to become

more controversial and there as a fair amount of commenting, debating, agreeing and disagreeing,” she said. “Some people were upset that they did not have a vote about spending $2,000 of taxpay-ers’ money. Other people did not feel comfortable with this particular symbol. However many people expressed that they felt more included because of this symbol.”

Kevin Huey, director of infrastructure, said the town office has received only positive comments about the crosswalk. “People have been quite happy about it,” he said.

Huey noted the crosswalk is not created out of street grade paint, as it is not manufactured in rain-bow colors. Huey could not predict how long the acrylic paint will last.

Klaver said she was pleased with council’s quick action on her request.

“I think Town Council saw an opportunity to give a message of all-inclusiveness without it having to cost us a lot of money. I really appreciate Town Council’s decision to go ahead with this project,” she said.

Rainbow crosswalk draws mixed reactions

Driverairlifted after crash

An elderly man was airlifted by helicopter from the side of Highway 3 East Wednesday morning after the vehicle he was driving left the road and plunged down the bank towards the Similkameen River.

The accident occurred about one kilometer east of Bromley Rock.

Princeton Highway Rescue and firefighters from Keremeos and Hedley responded and worked for at least one hour to extract the man from his vehicle. A passenger in the car received minor injuries.

Traffic on the highway was held up intermittently for approximately two hours.

RCMP were not available to comment on the cause of the accident, or on the man’s condition.

Andrea DeMeerRescue workers from Princeton, Hedley and Keremeos responded to the accident on Highway 3 just east of Bromley Rock.

It’s a date-night kind of place.Nick and Renee Goreas, along with Alexandra and

Ashley, take pride in offering Princeton a restaurant that satisfies casual fine dining expectations with homemade dishes created from scratch, many of them based on tradi-tional recipes and created with locally-sourced ingredients.

That’s the secret behind the popularity of Little Creek Grill.

Renee laughs, “I think the only item we serve here that we don’t make ourselves is the ketchup. We try to make everything in-house.”

The Goreas family has a long dining history with the town, as Nick’s father operated a restaurant named Santos for many years. After a ten-year break, the family decided to return to its roots and start fresh in Princeton with Little Creek Grill.

The new restaurant opened at the corner of Bridge Street and Highway 3 in May 2014 and immediately became a destination for diners looking for something special.

Nick is helped in the kitchen by André Robert, of Hedley. “He’s an excellent a chef,” says Renee. “André brings a lot of different ideas to the table.”

Indeed, daily specials at Little Creek Grill range from homemade corn chowder to more adventurous fare such as grilled catfish with blackened caper sauce.

Regular menu favorites at Little Creek Grill include handmade pizzas, Calamari and lamb chops. The desserts are rated “to-die-for,” and the white chocolate cheesecake seems to fly off the shelf. The restaurant also offers popular gluten-free dishes and it serves only Okanagan wines.

“It’s senseless to me to serve an international wine when we have such beautiful wines right here.”

Visitors to Princeton often express surprise and appre-ciation after stumbling across a meal at Little Creek. “They say ‘Wow, we didn’t expect to find this here.’ We hear that

a lot,” says Renee.However, she quickly acknowledges it is local custom-

ers who provide the restaurant with its bread and butter.“We’re here in business because it’s the local clientele

that keeps us going when it’s not tourism season,” she says, noting Little Creek’s first winter season was a busy one with special events, post-Posse nights and Christmas parties.

“You know you are from a small town when you pick up the phone and you know who it is because you recog-nize their voice and you know how they like their steak done or what they are going to order for take out.”

During summer months Little Creek Grill is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 4 p.m. till close, and Thursday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to close.

Merritt Timber Supply Area Timber Supply Review

Public Open HouseThe province’s chief forester will be setting a new allowable annual cut–the maximum volume of timber available for harvest each year –for the Merritt TSA later this year. Note, Princeton is within the Merritt TSA.

Section 8 of the Forest Act lists the factors that the chief forester must consider when determining an allowable annual cut. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations staff have been collecting and analyzing this information and the key findings are summarized in a discussion paper that is available for public review.

An open house has been scheduled as outlined below to provide an opportunity for members of the public to review the discussion paper and to ask questions.

Public Open House

Date: Thursday, August 20, 2015

Time: 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Location: Princeton & District Community Skills Centre 206 Vermilion Avenue, Princeton, B.C.

Public feedback on the discussion paper will be considered by the chief forester before the new allowable annual cut is determined. The discussion paper provides the results of the timber supply analysis, including a base case harvest forecast. It also describes the geography, natural resources and current forest management practices of the Merritt Timber Supply Area.

The public review and comment period for the Merritt Timber Supply Review began with a news release on July 22, 2015. Comments will be accepted until September 23, 2015. The discussion paper can be viewed at: https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hts/tsa/tsa18/index.htm (look for the words “Discussion Paper” in blue).

Fortis BC warns valley residents against phone scamSpotlight Staff

FortisBC is warning customers about a telephone scam on the rise in B.C. – spe-cifically in the valley area – in which a caller, pretending to be from a utility company, threatens to disconnect service unless the customer makes an immediate bill payment. The call can take a variety of forms, but most commonly, the customers are instructed to use a prepaid credit card.

Fortis spokesperson Nicole Bogdanovic said it is unknown at this time if anyone has lost money in the scam, as the Fortis office

has only heard from suspicious customers. “FortisBC works closely with customers

to address overdue accounts with the aim of continuing service — disconnecting service is considered only after all attempts for pay-ment are unsuccessful,” a press released stated. “Customers receive multiple notices including bill messages, automated and per-sonal calls and mailed notices all in an effort to continue service. FortisBC also offers a number of payment methods; customers can choose the payment method that is most con-venient to them.”

FortisBC will not contact customers in any way, including by email, asking for their credit card numbers, social insurance or simi-lar personally identifiable information.

If customers are asked for this informa-tion, they can be confident FortisBC is not the entity asking.”

Fortis is telling customers can be certain they are speaking to a legitimate FortisBC customer service representative if they call us directly using a number published on their statements or on its website.

FortisBC advises both its business and

residential customers that if they receive a threatening phone call about their account or are asked for payment using a specific pay-ment method, they are likely dealing with a fraudster.

If a customer receives a suspicious phone call, they are advised to gather as much information as possible, such as the caller’s name, hang up and call FortisBC using the toll-free customer service number printed on their natural gas or electricity bill statement or online at fortsbc.com/callus.

The municipality’s decision to impose Stage 2 watering restrictions in the town of Princeton should go a long ways towards meeting the provincial gov-ernment’s request to cut water use by 30 per cent, according to the director of infrastructure Kevin Huey.

By eliminating two days of lawn watering, and putting restrictions on other outdoor water uses “I should anticipate that it should be 20 to 30 per-cent….just on simply math,” he said.

Last Monday the province upgraded the drought in the Similkameen to Level 4, prompting the town to implement its Stage 2 water restrictions for the first time ever.

“It really has to do with the low stream flows and the drought 4 designation,” said Huey. “They were requesting a 30 per cent voluntary reduction and that’s pretty significant.”

Until further notice even numbered civic address-es may water on Wednesdays and Saturdays only,

and odd numbered addresses may water Thursdays and Sundays only.

No watering is permitted between noon and 6 p.m..

Washing of boats or other motor vehicles with a hose is permitted only if using a hose with an auto-matic shut off device.

No one may use a hose to wash sidewalks, driveways, walls, roofs or other outdoor surfaces, unless the hose is equipped with an automatic shut off device, and the purpose of washing the surface is to prepare a surface for painting, sealing, or similar treatment, or for the health and safety of any person, or to prevent or control fires.

Public sector entities may, during Stage 2, water lawns, boulevards and playing fields at any time, but no more than every other day.

Huey said the municipal splash park will con-tinue to operate as its water is manually operated and it “is not a significant water user really.”

He said the town of Princeton will only wash its vehicles on “a maintenance basis.”

Town tightens water restrictionsFines for watering at the wrong times in Princeton start at $250.

VICTORIA – Now that the political back-and-forth is over, there are two questions left about the Petronas-led proposal to make the biggest private-sector investment in B.C. history.

Will it actually happen? And is it a good deal or a bad one?

Premier Christy Clark ducked the first question on the day the project agreement for Pacific Northwest LNG was approved by the B.C. legislature.

“After many predictions about the Canucks and the Alberta election, I don’t make predictions any more,” Clark said. “But I can say that this project has gone farther than any of our critics said that it would.”

For what it’s worth, my prediction is on record: it will go ahead. The latest evidence is the company’s continued, costly effort to gain federal and local approval for a suspension bridge to Lelu Island to minimize the marine impact. Lax Kw’alaams Band mem-bers could not have had details on that change from an underwater pipeline when they voted to oppose the project in May.

Is it a good deal? The mayors of Prince Rupert and Port Edward have made their views clear – they see it as a lifeline for an area that has struggled for years with a faded forest and fishing industry.

The B.C. NDP is also now clear, having voted against the proj-ect agreement in the brief summer session of the legislature that concluded last week. Whether the project proceeds or not, this will be a key election issue in 2017.

NDP leader John Horgan and other MLAs made much of the lack of job guarantees, pointing to similar projects in Australia.

Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued a statement with excerpts from the state of Western Australia’s agreement for the Gorgon LNG project. The so-called guarantees contain qualifiers like this: “... except in those cases where … it

is not reasonable or economically practical to do so, use labour available within Western Australia.”

Obviously there were no job guarantees, which could only exist in a command economy, in other words a communist dictatorship.

Everyone agrees that specialized trades such as welding alloys for low-temperature operation will be brought in. And LNG processing trains will be shipped in pre-fabricated from places like South Korea, as they have been in Australia and elsewhere.

Pacific Northwest LNG is on record with federal regulators that in the latter stages of construction, the use of foreign labour for the project could reach 70 per cent. Does that make it a bad deal?

Perhaps B.C. could attempt develop this expertise from the ground up. It seems to me that was tried with aluminum ship fab-rication, and it didn’t work out too well.

For David Keane, president of the B.C. LNG Alliance, the question is how many large LNG projects, pipelines and all, can be managed at the same time as the Site C dam is being built. It was skilled labour shortages, and particularly a shortage of supervisors, that caused Australia to lose some of its proposed projects.

Keane said all LNG proponents here want to use as much local labour as they can, because it’s less expensive and it builds local support. And he disagrees that B.C. is a sweet deal for the industry. Among other things, pipelines have to be built across two moun-tain ranges.

Not only that, B.C. producers would pay an LNG income tax, which is a first in the history of the industry. Add to that PST, GST, payroll taxes, municipal taxes and federal and provincial corporate income taxes. Add aboriginal revenue sharing, and we have a deal.

To the editorArea H demands input on ATV trail issue

To the editorOur experience with council regarding the KVR

multiuse issue has prompted me to write and state our point of view again. We understand that a com-mittee has been formed to look into this issue. We are confused as to why there isn’t anyone from the local ATV and Snowmobile Clubs on this commit-tee. The directors from these clubs could put a lot of insight into the final decision. There are a large number of KVR users that support multiuse of the KVR. We urge council to accept and support these groups of responsible people.

Recently we attended the ATV/BC poker ride event at Clearwater BC. There were well over 100 RVs and ATVs camped on an abandoned air-port strip with one rider from as far away as Japan. Some were physically challenged and many had their faithful companions with them. Quite an assortment of machines and riders of all ages were seen. There were many side-by-side ATVs. These appeared to be the choice machine for many of the older riders...yes...older riders who now are able to ride into the mountains and experience the fresh air, spectacular views and fields of wildflowers. The event was spread over a weekend with the town of Clearwater and the RCMP welcoming the riders. The arrival of all the motor homes, participants, and the activities associated with the event was a posi-tive experience for everyone. We feel ATV/BC put on a very organized and successful event.

Council must realize that all those European visi-tors, that they have their hopes on, are not coming to Princeton to walk a 3 km paved trail which runs parallel to two major highways. We spend quite a bit of time travelling around BC and meet many European visitors. They are usually found travelling in small motor homes and experiencing the lakes and parks, as well as backcountry. Most of the visi-tors that shop in Princeton are friends, relatives and weekenders from the coast, not European tourists.

The Princeton council would do well to pay more attention to the nature of rural living. Most of us have moved away from big cities to have a rural life style.

Why not make Princeton a town that has a rural spirit and attitude like a frontier town. Princeton is in the center of area ‘H’...a small town surrounded by a large rural population that supports the town year round. The residents of Princeton may be the ones that vote, but the rural residents are the ones that keep Princeton alive. We believe that the resi-dents of Princeton must elect local people that have their roots firmly in the community and not just try-ing to copy big city values and attitudes.

Just because Princeton residents are the ones that elect council, town council must realize that they are not the only ones that need to be listened to...area H people are out here too.

This rant comes from area ‘H’ residents. Vic Bartel & Edna BlommeSimilkameen Valley Riders

Every so often a national or international news story hits home in a personal way.

So it was last week, with the revelation that Donald Trump once accused a lawyer in open court of being “disgusting” because she needed to take a recess to breastfeed her baby, and underlined her point by reaching for her breast pump.

Crazy that Trump, whose own lawyer recently stated there is no such thing as mari-tal rape, has the audacity to call anyone out for “disgusting” behavior.

It will be a sad day for CNN when Trump eventually drops out of the GOP race, akin to that letdown many felt when former Toronto mayor Rob Ford abandoned his re-election bid last year to enter hospital for cancer treat-ment. All coverage thereafter just seemed like it was in black and white.

I have experience breastfeeding in court. While no one actually used the word “dis-gusting” much feeling was conveyed via facial expressions. The judge stomped out of the room announcing proceedings would recommence when I was “done doing what-ever it is I had to do.”

There was really no way to respond

to that, except to explain to the fidgeting gentlemen who remained that there were two choices: we could feed the baby or we could listen to the baby cry. In a wildly unsuccessful attempt at easing the tension I confessed breastfeeding burns 500 calories a day and bring-ing the baby to court was just part of my daily post-delivery weight loss strategy.

As often happens when one is in an uncomfortable posi-tion, time slowed to an injured crawl. Silence descended on the gathering like a large receiving blanket. The only reliefs were the earsplitting tick-tock of the grandfather clock in the corner and the occasional slurpy-noise.

The judge popped his head in the room twice on reconnaissance and finally directed the clerk to let him know when it was safe to return.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Slurp.The day was not supposed to unfold

this way. We were convened in mediation and I was representing a newspaper in our

firm that was being sued over an advertising mishap. It was not a substantial claim and the company didn’t feel the need to send down an expensive suit. The publisher could handle it, briefcase in one hand and dia-per bag in the other.

Before the mediation date there was some casual coach-ing from the legal team. Just be yourself, be open and have a sense of humor.

Apparently there is such a thing as being “too open” and humor some-times resides only in the eye of the beholder.

This occurred several years and at least one baby ago, and societal attitudes towards breastfeeding in public have certainly improved.

The world, however, remains imperfect. A few months ago moms staged a feed-in at a Kelowna mall to protest against a security guard who asked a woman – who was in the food court no less – to stop nursing her child as it made other customers uncomfortable.

If you’ve ever nursed, or had to refrain

from nursing a breastfeeding child for any length of time, you understand uncomfortable in a whole different way.

Surprising that a culture which unre-servedly celebrates the breasts of women like Katy Perry, Jessica Simpson and Kim Kardashian gets so squeamish when a mere mortal female attempts to use the breast for the purposes it was actually intended – to nourish a child.

Everyone would be happier for sure if breast milk came out of our elbows – elbow milk – as there would be no reminder how we sexualize breasts and breastfeeding in an inappropriate fashion.

I think about that sometimes, when I’m driving along the highway and pass a man urinating beside his car on the side of the road. Good job he isn’t trying to breastfeed out there.

A final thought for readers: if you are doing research for a project such as a news-paper column and quickly want the names of celebrities with large and well-known breasts, you are ill-advised to type those words into an internet search engine.

Trust me on that.

Breastfeeding in court isn’t disgusting – but it is uncomfortable

An emergency in the wilderness forces everyone to dig deep Art Martens

livingsignificantly.caWhen Al got a fish hook in the white of

his eye on the Bowron Lakes Circuit in cen-tral B.C., our expedition needed to respond quickly to an unexpected and difficult chal-lenge. Nightfall was only two hours away and we were in a remote wilderness with no means of calling for help. For me this crisis became a reminder that in unfamiliar, even dangerous circumstances, we are able to call on reserves of physical and inner strength we didn’t know existed.

As Expedition Leader for the One Way Adventure Foundation, I had assigned our three groups of leaders and young offenders to separate campsites on a bay on Isaac Lake. Less interaction between them meant less trouble. I had elected to travel with the girls group because their workers had little wilder-ness experience. After paddling all day, we had just set up our tents at the Betty Wendle site when we saw a canoe racing furiously toward us from Al’s camp, paddles flashing in the late sun.

As they drew near, the two youths in the canoe shouted, “Al’s got a fish hook in his eye!” I called to Sandy, our nurse, “Let’s go!”

We found Al propped against a tree. He had been fishing with one of the boys. The boy’s hook had got caught on something

and when he pulled hard, it snapped free and lodged in Al’s eye. I left Al in Sandy’s care, a short length of line dangling from the hook. At the fire pit, his assistant was talking qui-etly to the six boys. I told them I’d be going for help and Arnet was now their leader.

I knew there was a Rangers’ cabin a con-siderable distance ahead. This was the most dangerous section of the circuit. There was also a cabin some distance back on Isaac Lake. No guarantee of a Ranger at either point though, and night among the mountains would be totally dark. I decided to return to the cabin we had passed that afternoon.

A young man of about 20 from another group told me he was rested and offered to go with me. Concerned about the approach-ing darkness, we paddled hard across the bay to where Gordie was camped with five boys.

My volunteer paddler now lost heart and I arranged for two of Gordie’s boys to return him. Ben, a sturdy young member of Gordie’s crew, volunteered to paddle with me.

Ben was robust and resolute. Exchanging only occasional words, we paddled with deter-mination, not sparing ourselves. Fortunately I had known that if an emergency arose, I’d need to be fit and had trained rigorously.

After well over an hour of driving our-selves relentlessly, Ben gasped, “I think I see a motor boat!” The light was fading but as we drew closer, the cabin and boat came into

focus. We had found a Ranger!I explained the crises and the Ranger said,

“I’ll go right away. I can’t take your canoe though. It would slow me down.”

With exhausted bodies we paddled in the growing darkness. At about 10 p.m. we saw the fire in Gordie’s camp.

After a brief chat, I returned alone to the canoe. In total darkness, I forgot the canoe wasn’t loaded. Higher in the water and less stable, it flipped in an instant as I was getting in. I was suddenly standing in frigid water up to my chest. Gordie and his boys rushed down from their camp and rescued me and the canoe. They loaned me clothes, including a jacket, and I set out again.

The girls had retired to their sleeping bags and had let the campfire die. It was only because I recognized debris in the dark water that I found our camp.

Meanwhile, Al, Sandy, and the Ranger talked all night, and Al became reconciled to the possible loss of his eye. By the time a helicopter dropped down to pick him up in the morning, he was understandably shaky.

A week later, back in Hedley, I saw Al. The helicopter had flown him to Prince George. Here a physician took one look and said, “Oh, this one will be easy.”

I’ve reflected back many times on this Bowron Lakes episode. Both Ben and I found unrealized physical and inner strength. I hope

that for Ben, it also helped him understand he has immense potential to accomplish much more than he had previously believed.

Natural gas pricesTo whom it may concern: When you entered my garage to eliminate my

‘Canadian Tire Eliminator’ and 5 inch portable grinder, you left behind the adaptor that plugs into the car’s lighter socket. You also inadvertently took my rechargeable flashlight adaptor, which renders my emergency flashlight useless. If you should, under the cover of darkness, wish to make an adap-tor for lighter plug exchange, you will find the lighter plug and cord hanging from the gate through which you entered.

Oh, by the way, thanks for taking that old RCA video recorder you took from the chair on my patio. I left it there in plain sight hoping that someone like you would take it to the recycle depot for me.

If you should perchance have a pang of con-science-----I will miss my little portable grinder. If you bring it back, knock on my door and I’ll buy you a beer. If I get no response to my plea, I’ll assume that you needed my stuff much more than I do.

Have a nice life, and may good fortune smile on you.

Sincerely,HP Toews.

To the editorA copy of this letter was sent last week to

Princeton Town Council.The Princeton Rodeo Club wishes to bring

to your attention our concerns regarding the Demolition Derby planned for the rodeo grounds.

The Rodeo Club has been an integral part of the history and activities of the commu-nity each and every year for some 30 years. During that time literally thousands of hours of volunteer effort has gone into making the rodeo arena one of the best in Western Canada. The Princeton Rodeo Club has received awards for the care, attention and quality of these facilities.

This year alone, hundreds of hours were spent doing repairs, upgrades, and mainte-nance to the rodeo grounds. The success of this year’s rodeo attests to this effort.

The Town has endorsed the holding of a demolition derby in the rodeo arena. We have several concerns, including:

1. The Jim Lind Memorial Building is located in the northwest corner of the arena; this facility was funded, built, and utilized by the many volunteers active in the rodeo and riding sports; one of its many uses is to enable handicapped persons to view the vari-ous activities from a safe, protected building behind glass The glass and the building itself are at risk from the demolition derby.

2. Thirty years of effort have gone into the bucking chute part of the arena. It was built to contain animals. It was not built to withstand a demolition derby.

3. The west end of the arena contains the timed event end and catch pens; this area is of light rail and again will not withstand impact by demolition derby action. 4. The east end of the arena contains the stripping chute facilities; the area is again constructed and improved over many years. It is also of light rail materials.

5. The railing around the entire arena is hollow core pipe. It is constantly repaired, upgraded, and in first class shape. It will not withstand impact by cars.

6. Arena ground: we understand that the topsoil in the arena is to be removed. This is to ensure that the top quality rodeo ground will be returned to its world class shape. With respect, the ground is a thin layer of sand/soil developed over many years to the high quality for rodeo and riding events. Removal will result in damage to the condi-tion of this material.

7. Under the arena ground: there are pipes, wires, and services. We have to be very careful when disking the ground for the rodeo and other events that no damage is done to these services. We note that the services are just below the subgrade. The digging of a trench for “mud drags” would guarantee the cutting of the lines and would require the employ of both a plumber and an electrician to repair them. Further, after the event, the trench would have to be re-filled carefully using major compacting equipment to insure the hardness of the subgrade. If this is not done properly the ground will settle leaving a permanent uneven swale which

will make for unsure footing and result in a higher chance of injury to both animals and contestants

8. We know what takes place at a demoli-tion derby. We are very concerned about con-tamination of the grounds from oil, gas, and other spills. We do not know how that natural consequence of a derby can be addressed.

The Princeton Rodeo Club does not think this rodeo arena is a place to hold a demoli-tion derby.

This is especially the case, from our point of view, when there is adjoining ground inside the race track that can be used. This area, at the west end of the grounds, has been used before for this type of event.

There are portable bleachers that can be used. There are rodeo club volunteers to assist and advise. There is potential for this

area to have repeated annual use without the major disruption of the rodeo arena.

We sincerely believe that the demoli-tion derby will result in serious damage to the arena facilities. We hesitate to try and estimate the costs that will need to be faced both in preparing the site and repairing same. Further, should the promoter of the event fail to return the arena to pre use condition the Town would be faced with the significant costs of remediation.

There are reasonable and inexpensive alternatives.

Sincerely,Princeton Rodeo ClubKen Crompton, PresidentPrinceton Rodeo Club Grounds

Letters to the editorRodeo Club protests Demolition Derby planned for grounds

The rodeo arena is not equipped to stage a demolition derby as cars could cause con-siderable damage to the ground, shoots and railings, say Rodeo Club members.

LOCALSCENEcheck out the

shop • dine • enjoyUnique ways to shop locallyShopping locally is a great way to benefit your community and, in many instances, your bottom line. When consumers shop locally, they help stimulate their local economies, cre-ating jobs for their neighbors by helping local businesses grow and thrive. Shopping locally also saves shoppers long trips to the mall that can waste expensive fuel, especially if con-sumers don’t find what they’re looking for.Shopping locally is especially important when the economy is struggling, as smaller businesses are not always as capable of bear-ing the brunt of a recession as larger ones. The following are a handful of unique ways men and women can shop locally.* Forgo a traditional vacation. If you’re used to taking an annual trip to a Caribbean island or another faraway locale, forgo that trip this year and take a more local vacation instead. A local vacation can be similar to a staycation,

when you simply stay home, but spend some nights out on the town in your local commu-nity. Go out to eat, take in a concert or theatre performance at a nearby theatre or take the kids out for miniature golf. For those who feel the need to get away from home, consider a local bed and breakfast or another relaxing locale that’s close to home. You will still get the feel of a traditional vaca-tion, but you won’t spend as much and you’ll be doing your part to help the local economy.* Hit the links. A round of golf is another great way to stimulate your local economy. Municipally owned golf courses are owned by the municipality, which means each dol-lar you spend is money that’s going back into your community. And much like other local businesses, the golf course is no doubt employing your friends and neighbors, giving even more money back to your community.* Buy a preowned vehicle. Buying a pre-owned vehicle as opposed to a brand new car bought from a manufacturer is another way to shop locally. This is especially true if you buy your preowned vehicle from a private citi-zen. But buying from a local dealership can stimulate your local economy as well, as your community will benefit from the taxes on the vehicle and that dealership will continue to provide jobs for fellow members of your community. * Treat yourself to a spa treatment. Another unique and indulgent way to support your lo-cal economy is to treat yourself to a spa treat-ment. The cost of a spa trip depends on what you prefer, but even a relatively inexpensive trip to the spa will support a local business. Plus, you’ll reap the rewards of that support immediately.

BUYING LOCAL BENEFITS THE ENVIRONMENT, TOO

Buying local has many benefits. But while consumers may know that buying local helps grow the local economy by supporting local business owners and creating jobs, they may not realize the positive impact that buying lo-cal can have on the environment as well.Eco-conscious consumers often go to great lengths to ensure their money is being spent in an environmentally friendly way. But one of the easiest ways to be an eco-friendly con-sumer is to support local businesses, which tend to benefit the environment in a variety of ways.

* Shopping locally reduces the environmental impact of your purchases. When buying from a large national chain store, chances are the products you’re purchasing were produced outside of your local community, oftentimes halfway across the globe. That means those products had to be shipped to reach the store shelves in your community. Such shipping

leads to greater fuel consumption and air pollution. But local businesses often buy their supplies from other local businesses, cutting down on shipping and, as a result, benefitting the environment.

* Local businesses often operate from the center of town. Local businesses typically need less space for their stores, which allows them to set up shop right in the heart of town as op-posed to on the town’s outskirts. That makes local businesses more accessible to commu-nity residents, who might be able to walk or take a short bike ride to smaller, local busi-nesses. On the contrary, larger chains tend to diversify their offerings and, as a result, need more space. This often pushes them to the fringes of towns, eliminating the possibility of walking to the store. That means consumers will have to drive to the store, increasing their fuel consumption and their carbon footprint as a result.

* Shopping locally employs your neighbors, reducing their carbon footprints as well. An-other benefit to shopping locally that’s often overlooked is the impact it can have on your neighbors’ carbon footprint. Local businesses often employ members of the community, which translates to shorter commutes, less highway congestion and less fuel consump-tion. So while shopping locally reduces your carbon footprint, it’s also helping members of your community reduce their own potentially negative impact on the environment.

* Shopping locally can protect local wildlife. Many people prefer to buy locally grown foods because they feel such foods are more fresh and buying locally grown foods reduces fuel consumption. Those things are true, but buying locally grown foods also can help pro-tect local wildlife. When local farms can afford to stay in operation, local farmers are far less likely to sell their lands to developers. That can help protect the habitats of local wildlife.

Lots of traditional fun at Tulameen Days

Tulameen residents and visitors had some serious fun on the weekend at the annual Tulameen Days event. The firefighter challenge attracted 40 entrants and was won by Ryan Marchuk with a time of 1:36 minutes. The Saturday morning parade was well attended, and the Duck Race brought out hopeful participants. Race winners were, first, Darren Mcewan, second, Josh Sanderson and third, Zach Shapray.

One week after winning the Junior Club Championship at Princeton Golf Club, 16 year old Michael White was back at it, this time representing Canada at the 2015 Lefty Can-Am Match Play Championship.

White was recently invited to play along-side 13 other Canadian left-handed amateur golfers at the Home Course in Tacoma, Washington. He was one of only two Juniors invited to compete at the event.

Players for Canada came from BC and Alberta while the US team had members from Washington, Oregon, California, Texas, North and South Carolina and Florida.

The 3 day invita-tional tournament was played in Ryder Cup style, with players earn-ing points each day in head to head and team events.

White teed off Friday, playing with Chilliwack’s Dean Lewis, and shot an opening round 77. The duo earned two of a

possible three points. On Saturday White teamed up with another Canadian player, James Cox, in a two-man scramble and they shot even par 72, sweeping the day and earning all three points.

The closing match was straight up singles match play. White drew Frank Hunter from Lexington, North Carolina. The match ended on the 17th hole, White making par and securing 2.5 out of a possible three points to help the Canadian team to an over-whelming victory.

His 7.5 points out of a possible nine led all Canadian players as the team won the event 56-28!

White has plans to compete again in the annual event. Next year Canada hosts and the tournament is scheduled to be played in BC. He and Lewis are planning a trip to Albuquerque, New Mexico for anoth-er tournament in the winter. After that they both plan on attend-ing the LH Amateur World Championship

in Australia in 2017. Currently he is play-

ing in the Princeton Men’s Club Match Play event at PGC where he has won his first two matches. He is also preparing for his

first appearance in the Princeton Men’s Open.

Left-handed golf-ers are still a rarity in the world of golfers. Canada leads all coun-tries with approximate-ly 15% of all Canadian

golfers being left-hand-ed. Mike Weir is still the most famous, being the first lefty to ever win the Masters!

Of note, our club champion for six straight years, Jonas

Montgomery is a proud lefty! As is this year’s runner up, Jake Greening. On the junior side high school team-mates, Mike White, this year’s JR Club run-ner-up Chase Rempel

and last year’s winner Tristan Vandermeulen are all lefties as well. The future looks pretty good for left-handed golf in Princeton!!

SANDOVER, Dennis March 3, 1942 – June 25, 2015

Dennis passed away peacefully on June 25 at McKinney Place in Oliver, BC, after a brief illness. His daughter, Tiffany, was by his side throughout. He was predeceased by his father Stanley in 1978, his mother Gudrun in 2012 and his brother Donald in 2007. He is survived by his daughter Tiffany and brothers Stan (Barb), Gary (Judith) and Wayne (Mary). Dennis will be remembered as a fun character, who always had something up his sleeve. He was also very skilled and was always working on a project. He truly was a “Dennis of all trades”. He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered.

A cremation has taken place with no service at this time.

PENTICTONPEACH

FESTIVAL

Final tuning takes place for Traditional Music FestivalRika Ruebsaat

Among the many performers at the Festival this year is a lively musical duo from Portland, Oregon called Shanghaied on the Willamette. Jonathan Lay and Gordy Euler perform songs “plun-dered from land and sea”, including tradi-tional Celtic, English, and Old-Time American music, especially music of the sea and water-ways. They accompany their vocal harmo-nies with a “fleet” of musical instruments. Jonathan, whose power-ful and supple voice can do justice to a gentle ballad or a rough-and-tumble sea shanty, plays guitar, tin whistle, har-monica, and a rollick-ing bodhran. Gordy is a skilled vocalist and a multi-instrumentalist who easily switches among fiddle, mandola, tin whistle, guitar and banjo. This broad range

of sounds allows them to craft exciting and var-ied arrangements and programs.

The duo’s name, Shanghaied on the Willamette, comes from the era of sailing ships. In those days it was a common water-front practice to force men onto outward-bound vessels to serve as sailors. This abduc-tion came to be called “shanghaiing” since Shanghai, China was a typically remote desti-nation. From the mid-1800s and into the early 1900’s, Portland was one of the more notorious shanghaiing ports on the west coast, along with San Francisco, Astoria, and Port Townsend. The Willamette (rhymes with “dammit!”) flows through the heart of Oregon’s farmland. Portland is located at the confluence of the Willamette and the

Columbia Rivers.

Shanghaied on the Willamette’s first per-formance together was in the 1992 Work Songs of the Sea Festival in Portland and the duo was formed in the fall of that year. Since then they have performed in festivals, pubs, outdoor markets, and concerts in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.

Shanghaied on the Willamette is just one of the many groups appearing at this year’s Festival, and the best thing about it is it’s free!

The reason it’s free is because it’s run entirely by volunteers and the performers are donating their talents. To make the festival a success the organizers will need lots of volunteers. If you’d like to get involved, please contact them. Even if you have only a couple of hours avail-able your help would be most welcome. Give them a call and they’ll welcome you aboard. To find out more visit the Festival’s webblog at princetonfestival.org or give Jon and Rika a call at 295-6010.

Shanghaied on the Willamette from Portland, Oregon will be appearing at this year’s Princeton Traditional Music Festival

Fat Dog - one of North America’s hardest run-ning races, is the most scenic ultra race in Canada. The Fat Dog race straddles three stunning provincial parks and one recreational area in the Cascades Mountains.

Fat Dog Participants will meet in Princeton for a briefing prior to the race on Thursday, August 13, 2015. The Princeton and District Chamber of Commerce will welcome Fat Dog participants at 3:30 Thursday afternoon, August 13, 2015 at the Riverside Centre.

Athletes come from Canada, United States and points around the globe.

Celebrations continue at Veterans Square from 5pm to 9pm with entertainment from several groups of musicians (sponsored by Princeton’s Arts Council) including Alan Parsons and friends, Allenby Road, Back Door Blues and The Jazz Circle

Local businesses prepare to welcome Fat Dog racers
