Four Princeton friends started a group called R2R ( ready to ride ) and made plans to hold a fun horse related event in Princeton, raising money for a local organization at the same time. On Saturday, June 21, R2R hosted a tracking clinic instructed by Terry Grant, the ‘Real Mantracker’. This was a great success and was booked full with 17 participants from Princeton, Penticton and the Fraser Valley. Top photo: some of the participants included members of Princeton GSAR, Keremeos GSAR and Oliver GSAR. On Sunday, June 22, R2R hosted an 18km horseback poker ride at China Ridge Trails. 26 riders from Princeton and surrounding areas enjoyed breathtaking views, wildflowers and the beauty that our Princeton trails have to offer. Checkpoints with water and snacks for humans and horses were manned by Princeton GSAR and volunteers. Princeton GSAR also provided radio communications and gps to ensure everyone made it back to base camp safely. A silent auction was held with donated items from many businesses in Princeton. The weekend was a great success and raised over $1,300 for Princeton GSAR.

Princeton, B.C. – As part of a strategic part-nership with the Province, TELUS has invested $350,000 to build a new wireless site bringing service to Highway 3 between Princeton and Hedley.

This new site builds upon TELUS’ $1.4 million investments in two similar projects announced in the last month, which are provid-ing service to approximately 27 kilometres of Highway 3 and Highway 3A between Princeton and Keremeos.

“We have had great support from the com-munity throughout the process of construct-ing this new wireless site, and are happy we’re able to bring more coverage to Highway 3 before the busy summer travel season,” said Steven Jenkins, TELUS general manager for the Southern Interior. “I’d like to thank our local TELUS team members who worked tirelessly to get this site in place to provide residents, local businesses and highway travellers improved wireless reception, whether making a simple call home or dialing 911 in an emergency.”

The project is part of the 10-year Connecting British Columbia Agreement TELUS signed with the Province of B.C. in 2011. Under the terms of the agreement TELUS will invest to

connect more than 1,700 kilometres of uncon-nected highways with wireless service.

“Wireless service is so important these days, bringing peace of mind for motorists as well as convenience for locals and visitors,” said Linda Larson, MLA for Boundary-Similkameen. “It’s great to see TELUS expanding its coverage and bringing more service to Hedley and the region.”

“Better connectivity means safer roads,” said Jackie Tegart, MLA for Fraser-Nicola. “Having wireless service along Highway 3 is not only convenient for local residents and tourists; it can also make a real difference when people need to call emergency services.”

TELUS is investing $2.8 billion in new infra-structure and facilities across B.C. through 2016. The company will invest $1.2 billion across the province in 2014, the final year of a three-year plan unveiled in 2012, and committed to spend another $1.6 billion in 2015 and 2016 to build infrastructure, expand urban and rural Internet connectivity and capacity, and bring the world’s fastest wireless technology to more B.C. communities. By the end of 2016, TELUS’ investment in operations, infrastructure and technology across B.C. since 2000 will exceed $40 billion.

Princeton’s first sidewalk patio opens at Thomasina’s Shoppe

Inspired by the natural landscape of the area, Mark and Bettina Wong created the design for the first sidewalk patio in Princeton. The Wong’s worked with the Town in order to adhere to safety standards and came up with an idea that was suitable and that both Thomasina and Jerome say they, “just love.”

Lisa Carleton/Spotlight

Having admired their work an display in the Sunflower Gallery, Thomasina of Thomasina’s Shoppe knew exactly who she wanted to design her outdoor patio.

Local artists, Mark and Bettina Wong were enlisted to create a patio design suitable for Thomasina’s and the Town of Princeton.

The couple say they are, “extremely excited with this project.” Mark went to work with the aid of Rick Zerr and Kevin Huey of the Town of Princeton and planning was done according to zoning and safety standards.

Drawing inspiration from the natural land-scape of the area, the Wongs got to work in their shop and spent two weeks on the design and actual building of the patio.

The Wong’s brought the wrought-iron patio pieces in and set it all up to ensure proper fit-ting a few weeks ago. It was then sent out for powder-coating.

Last week all the pieces were brought back and set up for the summertime patio season.

“I just love it,” said Thomasina. “Mark and Bettina not only did a beautiful job, but they made it work for us financially as well,” she added.

Mike Grgich Contracting was also hired to help build the patio. He and his company designed a removable pedestrian walkway that provides access to and around the patio.

Thomasina’s is now open seven days a week and offers a special family night dinner; all-you-can-eat Spaghetti night on Thursdays. The pasta is handmade.

Tapas Night is held on Fridays — Thomasina and Jerome extend an invitation to come and enjoy an dinner out on their new and licensed sidewalk patio.

You can follow what’s new at Thomasina’s by liking them on Facebook, www.facebook.com/ThomasinaShoppe, visiting them online at www.thomasinas.ca or by stopping in at 279 Bridge Street. For take out, call 250-295-3810.

VICTORIA – The Supreme Court of Canada’s landmark deci-sion on aboriginal title held by the Tsilhqot’in Nation leaves many questions to be answered.

Perhaps the biggest is this: Will British Columbia exist as we know it today by the end of this century? Or will it devolve into dozens of semi-autonomous regions, through treaties or similar court actions, as the only Canadian province that never completed historic treaties?

The Tsilhqot’in decision appears to uphold the key finding of the 2007 trial, that 1,700 square kilo-metres of the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake are essentially owned by the people who occupied it hundreds if not thousands of years ago.

It’s not quite ownership. Federal and provincial jurisdiction still applies, and their authority varies with the strength of the aboriginal title claim.

Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin ruled that the province overstepped its authority by issuing logging permits in the valley in 1983. McLachlin noted that lawyers for B.C. first argued that the logging was to control mountain pine beetle, then dropped that argument in its first appeal. She also upheld the deci-sion of the trial judge, one-time NDP leadership contender David Vickers, who rejected B.C.’s position that the economic value of the timber to the province overrode the then-vaguely defined aboriginal title.

Here’s McLachlin’s definition:“The nature of aboriginal title is that it confers on the group

that holds it the exclusive right to decide how land is used and the right to benefit from those uses, subject to the restriction that the uses must be consistent with the group nature of the interest and the enjoyment of the land by future generations.”

That’s not land ownership in the fee-simple sense of the term. It locks in communal ownership, which I and many others have argued is at the root of the poverty seen in many aboriginal com-

munities.Another big question: Is there any future for B.C.’s 20-year-old

treaty process, or will this precedent-setting case send more First Nations to court, or to the barricades as the Tsilhqot’in did on a logging road in 1983?

One of the unique advantages that have emerged from the hand-ful of modern treaties in B.C. is that aboriginal communities have more options in land ownership. By voluntary agreement, they

can convert land to fee-simple ownership, making it available for mortgage or sale. Modern treaty holders also get out from under the federal Indian Act, which remains in force despite this latest decision.

One of the big questions asked in the days after the Tsilhqot’in decision was this: Is the Northern Gateway pipeline project dead?

None of the aboriginal communities along the pipeline route has this kind of declared aboriginal title. Few if any would have a similar strength of claim as the Tsilhqot’in, who fought a small war to defend their territory from a wave of gold seekers in the 1860s.

One that does is the Haida Nation, whose occupa-tion of a beautiful group of islands was long defended militarily, and never challenged by any other aboriginal group.

Among others, the Haida Nation was represented in the Tsilhqot’in case as interveners. Council of the Haida Nation presi-dent Peter Lantin said after the decision that his team is preparing its own aboriginal title case for trial.

Few doubt that this assertion of title will be successful, either by negotiation or court ruling. But there is a unique aspect to the Haida claim that would set another precedent.

They claim title to the ocean around Haida Gwaii, a challenge to anyone wishing to sail tankers through.

Remember the popular kid’s show Romper Room, which aired from 1953 to 1994? I do. The adults running around in bee suits asking the chil-dren, “Are you a Do-Bee or a Don’t-Bee?”

This weekly kid’s show taught the benefits of being good, kind and respectful. The show itself was a ‘beehive of activity’ with children ranging from five years of age and under. The simpler times.

There are over 7 species of honey bees, with 44 subspecies. Bees have been around for over 65 mil-lion years. The question is: Will they ‘bee’ here for another decade—a century? Time will tell.

Today, it certainly seems that ‘Mr. Don’t-Bee’ has taken over the effervescently good Miss ‘Do-Bee’ in the series thanks to the recent pandemic of ‘death by pesticides’ - the most recent being Neonicotinoids.

The pesticide is chemically similar to nicotine, coming into being in the 1980’s by the Shell corpora-tion and later in the 1990’s by Bayer. Neonicotinoids are said to be the “first new class of insecticides to be developed in the last 50 years” and is the most widely used insecticide in the world. Due to the use of this toxic product, what is known as ‘honey bee colony collapse disorder (CCD) is occurring. Bees aren’t the only victims of this particular chemical. Over 80 percent of our seeds have been contaminated with it since 2008, which, of course affects not only the prod-uct grown from these seeds, but it has serious avian (bird) consequences as well when ingested. Under the umbrella of ‘Neonicotinoids’ are eight insecti-cides: Imidacloprid, Thiamethoxam, Clothiandin, Acetamiprid, Thiacloprid, Dinotefuran, Sulfoxaflor and Nitenpyram. When you break it all down, it’s a frightening scenario. For the honey bee, this toxic chemical is absorbed transdermally, as it is trans-ported through dust, pollen and nectar. In the end, this affects their central nervous system, causing paralysis, disorientation (where the bees lose their way home, essentially), routes to their food source and eventually death. Birds and bees are just a drop in the bucket (or another nail in the environmental coffin), so to speak, with respect to the lethal effects from these chemicals, but that’s of course, another story. So, don’t get me started on the list of other insecticides and environmental contaminants which also impair bee learning and foraging behaviour.

Everybody loves a happy ending. So the next time you consider telling your kids about the birds and the bees, think again. There’s a possibility that our miraculously prolific honey-makers just may end up in the Museum of Natural History, glorified under glass with a simply written epitaph, themselves displayed with a shiny pin through their abdomens. Not a happy thought by any stretch of the imagination.

I’m sure we would rather see those ‘Do-Bees’ doing what they do best - flitting from flower to flower, collecting, building their communities, living healthy, productive lives.

As Winnie the Pooh always said, “The only reason for being a bee is to make honey. And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it.....oh bother:....but bother we will - to put an end to these toxically lethal substances that are putting our bees, if not our planet, at risk of extinction.

“To bee or not to bee, that is the question”.........

Open letter to residents; If you missed the Forum on

Rivers, then you missed some very important information. The com-ments of one of the speakers, Ken Farquharson, are worth repeating and considering. What he had to say is crucial to the survival of the Similkameen River as a free flowing river.

Mr. Farquharson is a profes-sional engineer who worked on the construction of the Mica Dam and at the same time he was engaged in the Columbia Treaty Dams. He is the co-founder of ORC (Outdoor Recreation Council of BC) and the Sierra Club of BC. He worked with local interests to oppose the Shanker Bend Project which would have flooded the Lower Similkameen Valley as far as Cawston and worked to stop the flooding of the Skagit Valley.

The Similkameen River is a free flowing river, one of three in BC. We need to put a high value on our remaining free flowing rivers. The Similkameen is also an internation-al river, two of its tributaries start in the US and it eventually flows into Washington State and joins the Columbia. Hence, it is part of the Columbia River Basin.

Proposals for dams on the Similkameen have been numer-ous, starting in 1920 until the pres-ent. Development never occurred because essentially the idea (power generation) was not feasible, but now the reason is different. It is all

about the water storage, and this is how Fortis Generation hope to make its profit. Forget flood control and power generation, the new focus is downstream benefits!

Fortis has already approached Washington State Department of Ecology for a contract whereby they would conduct a feasibility study on the storage and release of water that would benefit American interests, and the Department of Ecology has allotted Fortis $1.6 million dollars to conduct this study. American agricultural interests stand to gain big time. None of these benefits, how-ever, are for the people of B.C. Fortis will control the river and every time Washington or Oregon needs water, it will be released from the dam on the Similkameen working in con-junction with the Enloe Dam locat-ed between Nighthawk and Oroville.

What might you ask is the provin-cial government doing? Apparently, nothing. It has taken no interest not even on Downstream Benefits! It took no action in the Shanker Bend Affair and appears to be taking the same sort of attitude toward this project.

The question begs to be asked, “How can a Canadian company control a Canadian River, a Crown Resource and negotiate with a for-eign country without the provincial government involvement? How can we as citizens allow this to happen?”

There is a need for action. Friends of the Similkameen-West(FOS-W)

Palliative Care Society available to assist you

Open letter to residents;This Society was formed shortly after the passing of a local nurse, Adele

Nesbitt, in 2000. It was formed in her memory, to assist dying patients and those who are bereaved. Two rooms were set aside at the hospital for the purpose, one for the patient and one for family, complete with kitchen and bathroom with shower. Volunteers were trained and educated to provide assistance and comfort in the process of dying, and attend to the needs of the bereaving family and provide support. It was then known locally as the Hospice Society.

The Society has now been re-organized  and incorporated as a non profit society known as Princeton & District Palliative Care Society. It works close-ly with the Penticton Hospice Society which provides advice and assistance in on-going training of volunteers. The Society has also been recognized by the Community Foundation South Okanagan Similkameen who have provided a grant to offset costs and expenses for training and upgrading of lighting and furniture to the two rooms at the hospital, and Interior Health (IHA) have offered to re-paint the  rooms. Earlier this year our local Rotary club and RDOS provided monies to offset training expenses for Jamie Holloway, our IHA social worker and contact person to attend a conference in Victoria.

The Society looks forward to providing palliative care to those in need in our area. It’s volunteers offer the following services to those in need;

- Sitting vigil including being a calm presence, shared silence, talking and listening, sharing of inspirational thoughts.

- Assisting  bereaved family members by offering a friendly face and open heart, talking and listening and otherwise providing a serene environment.

- Palliative massage to relieve pain, anxiety, depression and encourage a sense of comfort.  

The Society volunteers also provide in-house visitations and assistance to those who are permanently or even temporarily incapacitated.

Princeton and District citizens or families wishing the assistance of the Society’s volunteers, are invited to contact June Hope at 250-295-3524.

The Society is always welcoming volunteers and providing training in palliative care. Interested parties are invited to contact it’s president, June Hope 250-295-3524 or Jamie Holloway 250 -295-4464.

Dear Editor,It’s ironic that it’s student graduation time

and all that brain power that taught them how to think and to solve problems find themselves in this unfortunate,unwanted strike dilemma.

However, is the solution to the teachers strike self-evident,simple and very honorable?

Based on respected BC legislature reporter Mr. Tom Fletcher’s recent column (if I understand it correctly), the average teachers salary working nine hrs. a day for 189 days is around $72,000 a year or $42.32 per hour plus benefits plus 3 months prime time vacation.

Now the solution:Teachers take a 50 percent cut in salary bring-

ing the wage to$21.16, add a cost of living clause like the seniors get .

The salary cut would go towards smaller-classroom sizes,  hiring special needs people etc. doubling the number of teachers thus putting more people to work resulting in shorter working hours, less income tax, less stress, sick time off, and medication. Every one gains, the teacher, the taxpayer and especially the student, 

$21.16 plus benefits and 3 months vacation to pick fruit or pursue other endeavors is wonderful. 

Working society seems to be increasingly head-ed to the minimum wage of $10.25 per hour. A 50 percent less than the $21.16 teacher salary. And the Senior? Maybe $7.00 per hour or one-third the teachers salary, but in both cases, most have to pay for their dental, medical premiums, massages, sick time or bereavement, etc. No benefits.

Solution is there, but like the Dodo bird, it probably won’t fly.

Going through a divorce or separation ?

In 1942 Carrie’s mother married a member of the Upper Similkameen Band and they moved to Hedley.  “The town looked new to me then,” she says.  “People dressed up.  

I saw ladies wearing hats and white gloves.”  She recalls they could flag down the Great Northern train and catch a ride to Oroville.    

When she was 12, her stepfather took her to the home of Charlie Allison, at that time band chief.  Here she met Edward (Slim) Allison, her future husband.   Slim was told by the Indian Agent, “you should be on the band council.  You can read and write.”  In time, Slim became band chief.  When he was in this role, she worried about him.   “You can’t please everybody,” she says, again experiencing the concern she had for her husband at that time.

“Slim always gave me the pay from his work at the sawmill in Princeton.” I sense her pride as she remembers how responsible he was about finances.  “He told me to pay the bills and if there was anything left, I could give him some.” 

At age 40, Carrie attended three semesters of academic upgrading.  Someone at the school suggested she enter a hair styling course.   She accepted this advice and registered for a course in Vernon.  For the last two weeks of the course she made the long trip from Hedley to Vernon every day.  Having had my hair cut by her many years ago, I still recall her cheery attitude and words as she clipped.

Now at an age when no one would be critical if she retired to a rocking chair, Carrie gives little indication she is ready to slow her pace.  In addi-tion to cleaning the little chapel, once a year she hires boys to harvest the weeds from the adjacent cemetery.  Records indicate the chapel was likely built in 1901 and she feels a responsibility to those who made it a reality at a time when remoteness of the area made this difficult.  “I think of the old people who worked so hard to bring the lumber and windows and other supplies here to build it,” she says. “We should keep it up in their hon-our.” When there are five Sundays in a month, the priest comes and she attends the service.   In winter she often invites the people to meet in her home, due to lack of adequate heat in the chapel.

“It is important to preserve the Indian culture and ways,” Carrie says.   “I’m  learning a prayer in the band language.  I don’t want the language to be lost.  Not many can speak it anymore.”  

On the first Wednesday of each month she attends an elders lunch in Keremeos. She still sews quilts.  “I tried making moccasins, but I’m not good at it.”

Carrie is a committed fan of early Country and Western music.  “When I was in Nashville,” she tells me, “I saw Johnny Cash, Hank Snow, Earnest Tubb and Kitty Wells.”  When I ask if she likes Jerry Lee Lewis, famous for his Great Balls of Fire hit, her response is enthusiastic. “Oh yes. I like him.”

Carrie has experience, wisdom and an  enthu-siasm for life that many with a Masters Degree would envy.

NO ENTRY FEE NO MINIMUM PLEDGE Walk-Run-Wheel-Ride

Another successful week for your Kokanee Summer Swim Club, recently the team par-ticipated in our annual Swim-A-Thon. With all laps combined our team swam 58km, that’s like swimming all the way to Hedley and back. That is very impressive Kokanees, great work. We look forward to finding out how much we raised with all those lengths. Our team is very proud of everyone’s hard work and dedication to make this yet again a very successful FUNdraiser for the club. Thank you to all the parents for cheer-ing the kids on during this event, and for keeping track of all those laps.

Our Club swimmers of the week for June 9

and 13 were; Turtles swimmer Payton Barth who is now swimming 5m on her own, Development swimmer Carter Heron who has been working hard on his breast stroke, and junior/senior swimmer Maddy Fulton who has been doing every set with enthusiasm. Our Club swimmers of the week for June 16-20 were; Turtles swim-mer Paisley Wessel who is now jumping in on her own, development swimmer Corben van

Genne who swam 3 turtle races at our last meet unassisted, and junior/senior swimmer Aidan Neilson who always has a smile on his face, and brings a great attitude to every practice. All of your hard work will pay off, congratulations and keep it up!

Princeton Kokanees were very successful in the Merritt Swim meet, we brought 34 swimmers to Merritt. Our team placed forth overall, and our boys had a third place overall finish. We had two aggregates; Nicholas Cimbaro (bronze) and Owen Bartlett (gold). We had three club records broken; Olivia Holloway 25m back, Ainsley Neilson 200IM, and Kate Barllett 100Free. Kiaira Anderson broke 40sec in 50free with 39.47 over-all time. We had 42 top five finishes, and many first time breaststroke races.

June has been a busy month, but all the practice time and swim meets have helped boost momentum and team moral as we continue to break personal times, and improve on our strokes.

Once again we invite the public to give our kids a high five when you see them, and show your support and acknowledge their hard work.

The Princeton Minor Fastball team that is composed of six to ten year olds has been coached this year by Kyle MacMurchy, Shauna Hassell, and Grandpa Bob.

They have had a great season of learning more about the game. Some pitchers are being groomed as well as back catchers, and the coaches are keeping a close eye on those with great throwing arms and the big heavy hitters, keeping in mind the years to come. They have improved so much over the past month that even the games they have at practice are exciting to see. They practice with mostly all the rules and actually have some great plays happening.

On May 24, when 14 of the 15 on the team went to play in Summerland they actually split into two Princeton teams and they each played the Westside team and the Penticton team that was there. It is hard to imagine the Princeton team being the one to split up but it was a great opportunity for everyone to play spe-cific positions and take pride in doing a great job. The pitchers pitched part of the time and it was great to see Elias Frost and Jaiden Mullin gain some confidence in their pitching.

Ten players made it out June 14 to High Noon Park in Kelowna out by the airport. There were six teams there including Enderby, Westside, Penticton, Princeton, Kelowna U10

and Kelowna U8 and each played 3 games. Most were 3 inning games but a few extra might have been snuck in, in the second game Princeton played. Princeton started the day in dreary weather against the Westside team they had previously played. Even though the coaches pitched for these games, (a little disappointing for our team as they have been practicing the pitching so much). The bats came out in the second game against the Kelowna U10 team and the talk was about all the great hits and “RBIs”. Although they had a long day, you could tell the kids were just about as excited for their third game as their first.

Although it was a complete sweep of wins according to most of the kids, by the coaches count they fig-ured it was a 2 win, one loss event for our team so they should be very proud!

Coach Kyle has spent a great deal of time this year making contacts and hopes to have many more game opportunities next year as well as possibly hosting our own little tour-nament. Coach Kyle is thinking long term and figures with this group of kids the possibilities are endless with them possibly playing at the Summer Games in the next few years as well as the U12 Provincials. Next year Coach Kyle hopes to have the same Tuesday/Thursday regular practice as well as an extra pitching/catching practice each week.

joining us to honour him,” said president Bedard.The Bey family also made a presentation on Saturday.The Mack Truck (5th wheel custom built for gate transfer and equipped

with a dump box) that John had used for work on the PXA grounds and for hauling the starting gate from and back to Osoyoos each year for Racing Days, was presented to the PXA.

“Dad was dedicated to this place,” said Allen and Sharon. Allen adds, “We knew this truck was needed here, so we (Ruby, Sharon and Allen) decided to give the truck, dedicated in Dad’s memory.”

Prior to the dedication, the family decided to have the truck fixed up. It was completely restored and painted thanks to the help of Rick Verbakel, Terry Wright and his daughter as well as Bey family and friends. “Everybody helped,” said Allen.

Presidents Crucil and Bedard extended their heartfelt appreciation on behalf of all the member groups of the PXA.

“It will benefit everyone,” said president Crucil. “Thank you.”“It’s a beautiful truck,” added president Bedard, “I’m sure we’ll find

plenty of work to do with it.” Although John has physically left this world, the words written on post-

ers on either side of the truck describe the feeling among those present — “John’s still working for the PXA.”

DEDICATIONS - from page 1

Racing Days hosts family fun weekend

Little Britches Rodeo kids showcased their talents all day Saturday and Sunday in the rodeo arena at the Princeton Exhibition Grounds. In the front of the grounds, Princeton Racing Days Association provided attendees with various forms of entertainment.

The concession crew and vendor Jay from Golden Hills made sure everyone was fed and watered and vendors Nicki McIvor, (Nicki’s Tie Dyes) Miranda Grigg and family, (Miranda’s Kitchen) provided a variety of shopping experi-ences. Fran and Shirley of the Fall Fair group, Allan and Shareyl of Shining his Light Ministries, Liz Henderson of SOS and the Lawnmower Racers provided information on each of their events/causes.

Buckin’ Bull Rentals provided a day full of thrills with their mechanical bull and surf-board rides. (Bouncy castle for the wee ones)

Mudd Safety Awareness taught kids how to gear up and ride atv’s safely—and boy, did they love to ride!

The West Coast Lumberjack show was a hit, showcasing their talents with a chainsaw, cross-cut saw and especially their agility with a double-bitted axe. They had their audiences laughing with the humour and amazed with the talents.

Challenges and fun awaited attendees at the Bells and Whistles Mini Golf course, while Rainbow the clown had everyone in stitches of laughter while he created incredible crea-tures made from balloons.

On Saturday night, great music and dance was enjoyed courtesy of Dale Seaman and Highway 97.

CAPRICORN: You are in high demand this week, Capricorn. You have the ability to get things done when others struggle with similar tasks. Keep up the good work.

AQUARIUS: Aquarius, you just may find yourself on shaky ground while juggling multiple responsibilities this week. Don’t let the stress of this juggling act get the better of you.

PISCES: Pisces, you find yourself face-to-face with your biggest fears this week. Draw on your inner strength and you will conquer any obstacle.

ARIES: Your impulsive nature is apparent this week, Aries. While this nature has often served you well, it’s still a smart move to carefully consider all angles before making any big decisions.

TAURUS: Taurus, the goal this week is to find a happy medium where you can help others but remain true to yourself. It may take a little juggling, but you can handle it.

GEMINI: Gemini, although you are initially willing to go along with the group’s plans, in the long run you want to set off in your own direction. A few stragglers may join you.

CANCER: Cancer, professional obligations may prevent you from spending time with loved ones, but only if you let them. Let higher-ups know where your priorities lie.

LEO: Leo, share your emotions with a friend, especially if the friendship does not seem to be going in the direction you had hoped. Keep the lines of communication open at all times.

VIRGO: Virgo, you may think your intentions are obvious to others, but sometimes you send mixed signals. You may have to be more concise to achieve your desired results.

LIBRA: Take the high road, Libra. Leading by example has always been your forte, and taking the high road now is a great example to set for those around you.

SCORPIO: It can be quite difficult to keep your cool when you are feeling emotional, Scorpio. Channel any nervous energy you have into a productive project this week.

SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, you are on a quest for a deep connection. You will not be content with mere friendship, but desire something that is more intimate and meaningful.

COOPERMURIEL,

November 26, 1924 to June 13, 2014:

It is with profound sorrow and loss we

announce the passing of our mother, Muriel Cooper, on June 13, 2014 in Kamloops, B.C.Muriel was born to Mary and Henry in Mattersey, England, the youngest of seven children. After serving in World War II she met Norman and they married in England but decided to emigrate to Canada. First settling in Vancouver, B.C., the family eventually moved to Cawston in 1969. Muriel became the secretary at Similkameen Secondary School that same year. Known as “Mrs. C” to 21 years of students, she truly enjoyed her years working there until her retirement and honorary graduation in 1990.Muriel was a very loving mother who always supported her two daughters, Yvonne and Diane. She happily and tirelessly participated in many community groups including the Similkameen Hand Bell Ringers and the Similkameen Chapter #78 of the Order of the Eastern Star. She was OES Worthy Grand Matron of B.C. and the Yukon in 1995/96. In 2006, Muriel was honored with her OES lifetime membership. Muriel was predeceased by husband Norman in 2005. She was also predeceased by all her siblings and Norman’s siblings, as well as some very dear friends. Muriel is survived by her daughters Yvonne and Diane (Tom), many nieces, nephews and their families along with many, many friends. Muriel left the Similkameen Valley after 40 years and moved to Kamloops to be closer to family. She continued in her sparkling way to be busy, have fun and attract new friends. The family would like to thank the staff and residents of The Shores Retirement Residence in Kamloops, the ladies of High Country Health Care, and Dr. Mahmood for all their care and support. A Celebration of Life for Muriel will be held in Keremeos in the fall (date to be announced). In lieu of owers, donations can be made to any Cancer charity or the charity of your choice.

Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
