Transcript of Similkameen Spotlight, July 25, 2012
Health Minister Mike de Jong used hockey meta-phors to explain the B.C. Liberals’ election strategy during a visit to Penticton Friday, but he skated around any commitment to funding hospital expansion here.
De Jong, who was in Kelowna on government business, dropped in on a Free Enterprise Friday luncheon hosted by the local Liberal riding associa-tion, which is gearing up for the May 2013 provincial election.
“We’re in the playoffs. The regular season is over. And if we’re going to hoist the trophy one more time, we’ve got some work ahead of us,” de Jong told the crowd of about 30 people.
The five-term MLA for Abbotsford West acknowl-edged his party has seen its popularity slip in recent polls, but said the only count that matters is the one on election day. He also said the campaign will be won or lost by local organizers’ ability to get the vote out.
“We’ve got to play basic hockey. Nothing fancy. We’ve got to talk to British Columbians, understand the issues that they are confronted by in their day-to-day lives and ensure that they see us as part of the solution,” de Jong said.
“We do that, and we’ll hoist the trophy. We’ll have the honour of helping to guide public policy in British Columbia for another term.”
But de Jong was more circumspect on the prospect of his ministry funding part of a proposed $300-mil-lion expansion at Penticton Regional Hospital.
The project, as envisioned, would add a new four-story building for clinical services, plus a five-story parkade nearby. Local government and the hospital foundation have committed to contributing $140 mil-lion to the build, leaving the province on the hook for the rest.
“It’s not generally the capital” funding that holds up such projects, de Jong said.
“Those are one-time costs. Our obligation to you is to ensure the health authority has enough of your money... to fund the additional staff, to fund the additional clinicians that need to be in place. And those are recurring costs. And so that’s what we’re struggling with now is to come up with a plan so that when we’ve got the new facility it’s staffed on an ongoing basis.”

This semi flipped after loosing control during the heavy rainstorm on Friday, July 20. With assistance from passers by, the injured driver walked away from the wreck.

Two travellers, one heading west and the other east had a chance meeting on Friday, July 20 that neither had expected.
At approximately 12:10 in the afternoon, local resident Jack White was headed back into Princeton during the torrential rainstorm.
“It was coming down so hard I could barely see,” said White, “my wipers were going full
blast.” White said he saw a semi unit coming towards him—then he noticed that the truck had started to jackknife, then hydroplane right across into his lane. “The guy wasn’t even going fast, he said, the road just turned into a skating rink—there was so much water.” “It scared the hell out of me!”
White said that while the back end of the truck was coming at him he thought... choose...the ditch or the truck.

COMMUNITY CALENDAR
We all see messages about supporting local busi-nesses and local farmers – but perhaps you wonder what kind of difference it really makes, or what you can do.
Shifting 10 per cent of your spending doesn’t cost more – it just takes a little effort. In fact, if you think about how you’re spending your money each time you open your wallet, you may indeed spend less.
While travelling in Nova Scotia recently, I noticed a campaign called Shift 10 per cent. Nova Scotians spend $13 billion annually on food and consumer goods. Asking Nova Scotians to Shift 10 per cent of their spending toward local goods would mean $1.3 billion would flow back into local businesses and farms. They remind us that those businesses and farms are run by friends, neighbors and families. Those businesses are also the ones that donate to local charitable organizations & sports teams because they live there too. I’m sure that B.C.’s annual spending is considerably more due to our larger population.
If 1.3 billion sounds like a lot of money, it’s because it is! You can make it happen by making a lot of small choices. For instance:
• Buy a B.C. apple instead of an imported one • Check out the fruit stands, farm gates and the
farmers market for locally grown, seasonal food• Buy a locally roasted coffee at a locally owned
café instead of a chain• Buy your bread and other baked goods from a
local baker • Drink local wine, beer and spirits. Meet the wine-
maker who picked the grapes and crafted the wine • Buy a pair of sneakers from the locally owned
shoe store that sponsors the road race you’re taking part in
• Teach your children that things are still made here, that food is still grown here and that community matters.
On Sunday, August 5 come out and explore the Hedley Farmers Market. We will be celebrating BC berry madness on BC Day. The Similkameen valley grows the sweetest, tastiest strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and saskatoons – and we aim to have a great big selection to share with you from local growers.
Take the pledge to SHIFT 10 per cent of your shopping – make your own choices – think about your community – make a difference.
Vickie HansenHedley Farmers Market
The transformation of the Village of Hedley is becoming more and more apparent as the summer months wear on with several successful green community-building ini-tiatives in full-bloom.
The illegal dump-ing of garden refuse in wilderness areas has been countered with the construction of sev-eral hugelbeets, in-line with the tried and true Austrian model (http://smallfarmcanada.ca/2011/why-not-try-a-hugelbeet-in-your-garden/). In function of these constructions, there is an organized compost area near The Arena on the land leased by the Hedley Community Recreation Commission Association (HCRCA). Work parties gather regularly to sort compost and to build their cor-responding hugelbeets nearby. The hugelbeets will soon be shared raised garden sites as the decomposition process moves forward.
Not only is the Village of Hedley working and growing together on the compost and hugelbeet initiative, but Share Gardens are appearing everywhere as well. Similar to the English Todmorden example (http://www.incredible-edible-todmorden.co.uk/home), so far Hedley residents are growing edibles at many easy access sites and offering up to be shared what is grown with anyone who lives in the Village.

Candidates for Councillor
Rob Rubis was born and raised in Princeton, leaving after graduation to attend college. Rubis is a teacher and librarian who spent 26 years in Bangkok and 10 years teaching in an international school.
Rubis and his wife returned to his hometown of Princeton to be with family and because it is where they want to raise their children.
Rubis said he is a committed environmentalist, “I believe global warming is real and that we do need to reduce our carbon footprint,” he said. At the same time, Rubis said he is pragmatic, “Princeton needs to move forward economically.”
The stimulation of new growth, resource extrac-tion and renewables, finding additional ways to promote the wealth of tourism resources, convinc-ing the aging population to stay (health services being key) being proactive with the whole global economy and the development of disaster prepara-tion planning would be key points for the future of Princeton.
“I would be very much interested in working on the development of disaster planning—we need to be as prepared as we should be,” he added.
Rubis believes that he has a global perspective and through his experiences has come to under-stand that, “Canada is the land of opportunity.”
Rubis believes in democracy—seeing that only one person had come forward to put their name in for councillor, drew him forward to put in his own. “He (Doug Pateman) probably is a good candidate, but people should be able to make a choice,” he said.
Rubis feels that most of all, he can offer a fresh perspective to council. Being part of a team work-ing together, “I’m there,” he said.
Rubis believes that small communities are the future. Small communities pull together and work together. “Coming from a megalopolis of 12 mil-lion, I know that it is as good as it gets—right here,” he said. To learn more about Rob Rubis visit http://robrubis.2ya.com
Doug Pateman was raised in Princeton and received not only his school education, but his life education here. Pateman grew up during the time when fishing, camping, hiking, rock climbing and dirt biking were the activities chosen for recreation and fun.
Life education for Pateman developed through his experiences with various forms of employ-ment and volunteering which was followed by marriage and four children. Pateman served as a volunteer firefighter, is currently the president of the Princeton Highway Extrication Society and is on the wait-list to be trained for mine rescue.
Pateman is employed as an auto mechanic at the Copper Mountain Mine.
Pateman believes in Princeton’s potential. “I don’t want us to become a metropolis,” he said, but I do want to see Princeton progress and achieve.”
He believes that Princeton has much to offer within our recreational resources, “It’s here he said, it’s time to let the secret out.”
Pateman wants the downsizing of the commu-nity come to an end. As well as the current issues within the community, for example; the emergency room problems— “We need to address all the reasons why families that work here don’t want to move here,” he said.
Pateman believes that he would be a good choice for council because he has passion for Princeton, is dedicated to serving his community and has compassion for its people.
Pateman’s campaign initially started with a social network conversation between a group of his peers. He recieved a great deal of support and eventually led into his taking out the paperwork to actually begin the campaign.
‘This has been a great community service expe-rience,” said Pateman, “it’s been a learning curve.” I have great supporters and I have a willingness to learn.

Mark Woods. Community Services Manager for the regional district, updated the Community Services Committee on trails status in the regional district on July 19.
Woods reported that a number of tenure applications were currently before the prov-ince.
Terms of reference for surfacing of the KVR trail between Kaleden and Okangan Falls are being prepared and environmental assessment work is being done at this time as well. A tender for the surfacing job will follow.
Area “D” Director Tom Siddon expressed surprise that the resurfacing project was not already underway. He also noted that both Skaha Estates and Kaleden were negotiat-ing with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to acquire jurisdiction of the road ends to Skaha Lake.
A certificate of compliance is holding up progress in the development of the former Weyerhaueser lands into an industrial park in Okanagan Falls. Siddon expressed dissatisfac-tion at the fact that, four years after the mill shutdown, it still wasn’t available.
Princeton rural Director Brad Hope asked Woods how the motorized versus non-motor-ized trail use meetings were going, as Princeton had a particularly difficult situation with the two interests. One hundred thirteen kilometres of trail in and around the town were being hotly contested by both groups. Woods described discussions in the Naramata area over similar conflicts that produced some successful results, and it was hoped that similar success might be had in other hotbed areas like Faulder and Princeton.
A response from the Agricultural Land Commission is still to come as the regional district continues to work toward acquire a tenure for the Similkameen trail corridor in Keremeos.

A new face has joined the adminis-tration team at town hall.
During the regular meeting of council held July 16, the interim Chief Administration Officer (C.A.O.) for the Town of Princeton was introduced.
Helen Koning comes to Princeton with 10 years of local govern-ment experience. Her experiences include working in Prince Rupert, Skeena Queen Charlotte Regional District, Oliver and Burns Lake.
“I am happy to be here,” said Koning, the people are very friend-ly.”
Koning said she is amazed at the amount of events that are held in this community and she looks forward to attending them.
Koning will serve as C.A.O., until the posi-tion is filled.

VICTORIA – By the time you read this I should be in Vanderhoof, the geographical centre of B.C., to visit relatives.
Born in the Okanagan, raised in the Peace country and working for 20 years in Metro Vancouver, I’ve driven from one end of the province to the other more times than I can count.
A similar trip last year began just as a huge mud-slide was cleared near Chilliwack. Other drives have featured mid-summer hail piled 10 centimetres deep on the Coquihalla, a near miss between two moose in the Pine Pass, plus the usual blizzards and hundreds of traf-fic jams for construction, accidents and growing urban volume delays.
This time I’ve got a new tool on board, the mobile version of DriveBC.ca on my BlackBerry. Launched two years, ago, the mobile site has taken off with the surging popularity of smartphones.
In the past year, DriveBC’s online traffic averaged 1.2 million vis-its a month, about half to the five-year-old desktop site and half from mobile users. It’s by far the most popular B.C. government website.
I asked DriveBC technical leader Nainesh Agarwal for these stats, and he said even he was surprised by the surge in mobile traffic in recent months. But trying out the mobile site, it’s easy to see the appeal.
With a few clicks, the phone displays incident reports and web camera images for my chosen route. Webcams have been added steadily all over the province, and now watch 18 key locations on Vancouver Island, 93 in the Lower Mainland, 73 in the Southern Interior, 35 in the North and 13 at Canada-U.S. border crossings. At a glance, you can check anything from the traffic at the Lions Gate Bridge to the lineup for the Skidegate ferry on Haida Gwaii.
Most pictures update every two minutes, offering a real-time look at traffic, weather and road conditions. A recent addition is “replay the day,” which shows the last 24 hours of pictures in a few seconds.
Another new feature is an email alert that can be customized. You can subscribe to a particular region or highway and receive notices as soon as they are posted to the DriveBC network. And of course there is an @drivebc Twitter feed, where between 6:30 a.m. and mid-night, staff update conditions and respond to inquiries. (Major events are automatically tweeted overnight.)
Verified reports are fed from highways staff and contractors all over the province and co-ordinated through the provincial highways condition centre in the Lower Mainland. It’s become a primary source of information for radio and TV traffic and news reporters around B.C.
The mobile service now has an option for drivers to report new problems they encounter. After determining your smart-phone’s location, the site displays the name and phone number of the local maintenance contractor who can take the report.
For those who haven’t joined the smartphone era, there is an old-fashioned option. Dialing 5-1-1 anywhere in the province gives access to a toll-free line that connects to recorded DriveBC messages.
Agarwal said use of that service has been declining as phones with web access become more popular. The 5-1-1 service also requires you to use the keypad to select your route from a numerical list, so driv-ers would have to pull over rather than breach the new restrictions on using handheld devices while driving.
The 5-1-1 system still gets surges of heavy use during major events like the recent flooding. The plan is to upgrade the system to allow voice recognition, so drivers can use headsets to get updates on the move.

SpotlightOPINION
Canadian history tells us that acquiring the right to vote was a long hard process. In the beginning, (during the 1800’s) only the well-to-do land owners were able to run for or vote to elect a legislative assembly.
In 1917, the first females to vote legally in a Canadian federal election were “Bluebirds,” nurses who were tending Canadian troops in Europe during the First World War. It wasn’t until 1918 after years of struggling to have the same rights as men, that women finally won full voting rights.
In 1920, the efforts towards the universal right to vote and be a candidate began. It wasn’t until 1960 that racial and religious discrimination was no longer permitted by electoral legislation and the first election in which the right to vote was truly universal took place during the general election of 1963. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was adopted in 1982 and constitu-tional law has protected electoral rights since then.
The right to vote; a right that for decades so many before us fought for is a right that should be respected and not ignored.
Voting is easy, making the choice of whom you are going to place your vote for is what will take a bit of work.
The candidates for the upcoming Municipal By -Election are individuals whom have chosen to work for you. They are all members of your very own com-munity. You may know them personally, work with them or maybe not know anything about them. If it is the later, then ask around about them. Talk to your friends, peers and work colleagues. Better yet, take the time to speak with the candidates. They are all available to talk with and answer your questions in one form or another. They are just an email, website, phone call or arranged visit away.
If you are unsure as to whether you are eligible to vote or if you are even registered, contact the Town Hall office during office hours, Monday to Friday, at 169 Bridge Street or by calling 250-295-3135.
This is your community, have pride in it and take part in it’s future—a future that will be your own. Take the time to think about your right and make your choice(s). On Saturday August 11, place your vote. It does count, your voice does matter, and yes, it can make a differ-ence. Voting is not only your right—it is your duty.

DO THE MATH. ADVERTISE IN THE NEWSPAPER.
I don’t know how you people sleep at night To Princeton/CEO, Interior Health Authority;Seeing the incomes (with raises included) of the CEO and
vice president of the I.H.A. was a real mind blower! How do you guys get away with that? I’d like to know who deter-mines the wages and raises for you people. We, the tax payers pay your wages and to my knowledge no one consulted ‘us taxpayers’ on those two matters. The seniors got a big 2.9% increase on our pensions, but that isn’t of any real importance to you peoples it, how silly of me to even mention it. You have to have a lot of gall to accept those fat pay cheques knowing that Princeton Hospital has no ED or OR, closed by I.H.A. because of no doctors. Well, know what—your incomes amount to just over $1.5 million and that’s not counting your other perks and cushy pensions that you eventually receive, we could have our hospital started and a couple of doctors with all that money—which comes to about $3 million or so?
You aren’t really needed. And why are your meetings between yourselves or with Princeton Town Council held in
private. This isn’t acceptable. It’s the right of the people of Princeton, to know what’s discussed between closed doors!
A couple of questions:1) What exactly is ‘tertiary’ services?2) Hope Hospital, about 40-45 minutes from Chilliwack
has an ED and 9 or 10 doctors. Why is that? Our hospitals between Hope and Penticton, and what do we have??
3) Where is all the equipment gone from our hospital?4) The monies donated—where did that go?5) And what about the monies left in wills for Princeton
Hospital—where is that?The original Board of Directors of Princeton Hospital
would surely turn over in their graves if they knew what was happening here.

Some tough questions
Thank you for my rescue
Pipeline RisksWhat is it going to
take for the provincial media to start asking Adrian Dix and the NDP the tough questions they need to be asked? For that matter, what is it going to take for the media to stop being so angry about the past that they can start to talk about the future of our province and its economic health?
Premier Christy Clark does have a clear plan for the future and it’s a good one because she can see the economic crisis that’s coming down the pipe at us 2 to 3 years from now. She has already taken steps to ensure that busi-nesses in this province
can continue to provide jobs and thrive when, for example, the inevi-table rise in interest rates occurs or when Europe’s economy collapses under the weight of the falter-ing economies in Greece, Spain, Italy and Ireland.
It won’t matter if interest rates rise a half point or 10 points. If the province’s economic health is not good busi-nesses simply won’t be able to afford to keep people employed.
Sadly, the NDP is all about NOW. Their vision doesn’t extend beyond the present even when it’s apparent that the real questions and challenges
are lying in wait for us 2 to 3 years out.
Steering BC through the economic crisis ahead is going to require sober forward thinking not the dogmatic beliefs that have failed govern-ments of all stripes in the past. The media need to start asking Adrian Dix some tough questions about the future of our province, questions he so far does not seem to have any answers for.

I strongly agree with the common sense position the provincial govern-ment is taking on the Northern Gateway Pipeline project. Job creation and econom-ic development are vital to our province’s future, but as it stands BC bears almost all of the
environmental risk from the pipeline proj-ect while receiving few of the monetary and other benefits.
Over a 30 year period, the Northern Gateway Pipeline is expected to generate $270 billion in rev-enue. However, of the $81 billion in tax revenue the project would generate, BC would only receive a minor $6.7 billion share or about $223 million per year. A sin-gle major oil spill on land or sea could eas-
ily cost the province that much or more in environmental clean-up, legal and other compensation costs which would leave us with no financial ben-efit at all.
The people of this province should not have to bear the con-siderable risks associ-ated with oil pipelines without commensu-rate financial benefits and ironclad safe-guards for our envi-ronment. The prov-ince has now set clear terms and conditions for these projects, terms and conditions that are as warranted as they are reasonable and fair.
‘ Justina HarrisCoquitlam BC
To the personnel (Ambulance, Search & Rescue, Fireman and bystanders).
Many thanks for coming to my aid on the 10th of July about 12:15-12:30 on Hwy.3, close to Kal-Tire. It is a miracle I survived, only by the grace of God and seat-belts.
A hard and expensive lesson was learned—never adjust controls while driving—keep both hands on the wheel.
I was hanging upside down by my seat belt for about ten minutes, and was pulled out the window amongst broken glass.
Many thanks once again to all who rescued me.

The Princeton Kokanees gained steam as they pulled through the Revelstoke meet last weekend in preparation for the upcoming regionals. The team is working hard and reaping the rewards.
Nine competing Princeton Kokanees clocked an amazing 38 personal best times. Princeton swim-mers earned enough points to rank ahead of Lumby, Penticton, and Kamloops teams. Princeton swim-mers earned points by making consolations and finals in 30 of 36 races. They successfully ranked 13 top six finishes.
Kiaira Anderson dropped 21 seconds in her 100 IM, breaking the club record for division 1 girls last set in 1999.
Addison van Genne dropped 10 seconds in the 50 back placing 4th.
Aidan Neilson placed 3rd in his 50 breast stroke.Norman Anderson in the 50 Butterfly posted
a time just short of his own boys division 3 club record set two weeks ago in Kelowna.
Nicholas Cimbaro placed 4th in his 100 Freestyle and also broke the club’s division 4 100 backstroke record from 1997.
Relay teams placed 3rd in their medley relays.Skylar McKinnon and Mitchell Lee, competing
in just their second meet ever, placed in the consola-tion finals in a group of 20 competitors.
Coach Lindsay van Genne was extremely pleased with the number of best times especially since the swimmers earned best times in both morning and afternoon heats.
Swimmer of the meet went to Ainsley Neilson who slashed 4 seconds from her 50 freestyle and earned double best times in backstroke and breast-
stroke. Her hard work is showing great results.The team is looking forward to the Regional
competition in Kamloops August long weekend. The Princeton Kokanee Summer Swim Club
extends a huge thank you to Ron and Sharon Stevenson for their generous donation. New equip-ment has been ordered and will be very beneficial to all our swimmers.

He mentioned later, though, that the ministry is also trying to “find room in the capital budget.”
De Jong deked around a question about why Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops was recently awarded $80 million for its own expansion project, despite it being a lower priority than the Penticton job on Interior Health’s capital wish list.
He did, however, praise local officials who are driving the PRH project.“The argument around Penticton as a priority has been made successfully,” de
Jong said. “The argument now is not whether, the argument now is how.”

Our volunteers at the Legion have been very busy this last month, thank you very much. We had our Legion week promotion on June 30th along with a free BBQ in Veterans Square. July 7th there was a BBQ along with a mega meet Draw celebrating the 50th anniversary of the dedication of the existing building. July 14th was the Legion’s annual golf tournament which
was well attended. All of these events were very successful. August 11th and 12th is the Legion’s fi shing derby at Chain Lake. August 25th we will be hosting a Price is Right Night with a BBQ stay tuned for more information. We are still having the Saturday BBQ during the meat draw, except when there is another event. ~ Wayne Terepocki

He drove his car into the ditch in order to get out of the way and watched as the semi flipped while going past him— land-ing on its side.
White immediately called 911 asking for Ambulance, Highway Rescue and the RCMP.
During the moments White was making those calls more high-way travellers stopped and assisted the driver of the rolled semi.
While the driver was being attended to by the paramedics, White was able to shake his hand. White said the driver apologized to him saying “I’m so sorry, that must have scared you.” White assured the driver that it was not his fault at all.
While sharing the experience with The Spotlight, a still vis-ibly shaken White said he was grateful that the driver had not been hurt worse and that there had been no other vehicles in the immediate area when this happend.

This is the third in a series of stories about some of the performers appear-ing at the Princeton Traditional Music Festival. The Festival begins on the evening of Friday, August 17 with the opening ceremony followed by a coun-try-dance on Veterans’ Way beside the Legion. The dance will feature a live band with fiddle, guitar and concertina. Everyone is welcome. There will be a caller to teach the dances so no experi-ence is necessary and people don’t even need to bring a partner. On Saturday and Sunday there will be music from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on two stages – one on Veteran’s Square and one in front of the Museum.
People who came to the 2010 Princeton Traditional Music Festival might remember a loud, in-your-face, wildly dressed street band with trum-pets, saxophones, accordions, drums and bombastic singers. They finished the Festival by marching through the streets of town followed by an enthu-siastic crowd of people wiggling their hips, waving their arms and jumping up and down. The group’s name is Orkestar Slivovica and they will be delighting audiences at the Festival again this year.
Orkestar Slivovica performs tradi-tional wedding music and songs from Serbia, Macedonia and other Balkan countries. Their music is a combina-tion of Turkish rhythms and scales and
complex western melodic lines, pack-aged with a strong Roma (“Gypsy”) influence. The result is high-energy, infectious and very danceable music, like nothing else in the world!
Just below Serbia and Macedonia is the little country of Albania, which until 1990, was almost hidden from the world, suffering under the totalitar-ian rule of Enver Hoxha. Since then many Albanians were free to emigrate to Canada, one of whom is Ben Meti, an extraordinary accordion player who will be appearing at this year’s Festival. Ben plays the accordion in the passion-ate and heavily ornamented style of his native Albania. He plays tunes from his homeland as well as melodies from other Balkan cultures and other parts of the world.
These are just two of the ‘Princetonograd” performing 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 per-formers are donating their talents. To make the festival a success the orga-nizers will need lots of volunteers. If you’d like to get involved, please contact them. Even if you have only a couple of hours available 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

Since last column I heard from my neighbour Len Liberatore that some of his friends from town had been out on Pike Mountain chasing trout. I’ve got to think that the ice was still on those lakes, and and if they caught some on garden hackle a.k.a. worms. They will certainly have some good trout for dinner. Spring rainbow (Kamloops) trout are delicious!
But back to Emails, and the third question asked. Are the Similkameen and Tulameen River good for fishing? I like fly fishing on streams, rivers, creeks and even the big stream on the coast. I spent the first 20 years of my many years trout fishing on streams. So when I came to Princeton and had both streams, right within walking distance of our house, I was
most happy!Yes, both the rivers are good,
with both Rocky Mt. Whitefish and Kamloops Trout, also they are under fished. Special rules apply on these rivers, no barbs, returning native fish, no bait only flies allowed, etc.
One tip I would recom-mend—fish late in the day—the last two hours of daylight. Believe me when I say that this is the very best time. Treat these streams well! Please don’t leave garbage on the banks or in the water of these beautiful waters.
Until next time.

Alex Atamanenko, MP for BC Southern Interior, was recently offered the opportunity to nominate 30 candidates for the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee medal.
Atamanenko recently offered each of the three regional districts in his riding the opportunity to recommend ten individuals for nomination.
The federal riding of BC Southern Interior encompasses Electoral Areas “A”, “B”, “C”, “G”, and “H” as well as the communities of Oliver, Osoyoos, Keremeos, and Princeton.
Regional district directors carried a recommen-dation on July 19 that would see the opportunity to select recipients offered to the general public.
Newspaper ads will be placed in community newspapers outlining the offering and an ad hoc committee of three regional directors will be
formed to review the names and recommend to the regional board 10 individuals for nomination of the medal.
To be eligible for nomination in the regional district, individuals must be Canadian citizens who have made a “significant contribution to the wellbeing of citizens of the portion of the RDOS that falls within the federal riding of BC Southern Interior.
The nominee must have been alive on February 6, 2012, (the date of Her Majesty’s accession to the Throne); the award can be made posthumously, but the recipient must have been alive on that date.Submissions for nominees must be made by Sept. 4. The committee will make their recommenda-tions to the board by October 15.
Regional District to award Queen’s medals
20 www.similkameenspotlight.com Wednesday, July 25, 2012 Similkameen Spotlight
CAPRICORN: Dare to dream, Capricorn. This week is all about making things happen. Little goals, big goals— you will see them all through with fi nesse.
AQUARIUS: Concerns mount over a senior’s situation. Be careful how you approach them, Aquarius. One wrong word could send everything into a tailspin.
PISCES: No more complaints, Pisces. Time to pull up your bootstraps and get crackin’. News from home lightens the load and reveals what really matters.
ARIES: Heads up, Aries. Someone you least expect has big plans in the works, and you’ll play a part in making them happen. The foundation is set at work.
TAURUS: Just when you thought things couldn’t get any better, they do. Small windfalls and creative bursts give you the freedom to do more. Enjoy, Taurus.
GEMINI: Full steam ahead, Gemini. You are getting bogged down in the details and progress is seriously lagging. An offer is too good, way too good, to refuse.
CANCER: Romance hits an all- time high with a trip someplace special. A project is given the go-ahead and the real work begins. Gather the troops, Cancer.
LEO: Playing favorites never works, Leo. You’re far better off being impartial and allocating the job to someone with the skills to complete it.
VIRGO: Requests multiply by the minute, and you have no choice but to learn the word no. Relax, Virgo. Those that you turn down will understand.
LIBRA: You’re not one to get your feathers ruffl ed, but a young friend takes it a bit too far and you must say what’s on your mind, Libra. A chance encounter proves lucrative.
SCORPIO: Career goals move front and center this week, Scorpio, and you put together a plan. Travel is on the agenda, and it starts sooner than expected.
SAGITTARIUS: Green efforts pay off big time, providing impetus for more radical moves. An old friend stops by for an insightful chat. Who knew, Sagittarius?
