Fire ban extended to Nov. 1
Due to the current condition of “high” fire danger rating and to protect public safety and reduce the risk of person caused fires in our regional area, the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameeen (RDOS) is implementing an extension to the No Burning Regulaltion until November 1, 2012. Effective immediately and until further notice, all open burning of any materials piled larger than 1/2 meter high by 1/2 meter wide, stubble or grass, fireworks or burning barrels of any size or description. This prohibition in the RDOS is also in conjunction with the municipalities of Pentictopn, Summerland, Oliver, Osoyoos, Princeton, Village of Keremeos, Hedley Improvement District and the Ministry of Forest and Range, BC Forest Service—Kamloops fire Centre. This No Burning extension is in effect to protect public safety and to limit the risk of person-caused wildfires. This ban does not restrict fires in portable propane gas, briquette, wood burning fireplaces and campfires. Anyone found in violation of this No Burning extension, may be issued a ticket for up to $345 per incident. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness may also be fined up to $1 million, spend up to three years in prison and be held accountable for associated firefighting costs. The RDOS thanks the public in advance for their cooperation in complying with this temporary ban.

Who said pumpkins don’t grow in Princeton?
Wendy Bentley/Spotlight
The John Allison Community Garden group grew many vegetables this year, which in turn were made into Thanksgiving soup. Many of the Garden Angels attended to share in the wonderful bounty. The Garden Angels even found a squash growing inside a cement block. The pumpkins were weighed and Mr. Anderson’s class won the weigh-in with a 7.5 kg Jack.
Thank you! To our suppliers, customers and friends... Your support throughout the past 35 years is greatly appreciated! ~ Ernie and Marilyn Lawrence

Be Power Smart in Princeton and save PRINCETON – BC Hydro is partnering with three Princeton retailers to offer incentives for the purchase of energy-efficient products during October, Power Smart Month. Power Smart discounts are available to customers for in-store purchases of energy-efficient lighting, televisions and appliances. Every year during October, Power Smart Month, BC Hydro shows British Columbians how easy it is to make smart energy use choices and save money on monthly electricity bills. BC Hydro provides increased rebates and incentives to help encourage energy conservation throughout the year. Facts: Participating retailers in Princeton include: • Home Hardware • Cooper’s Foods • Sears Customers can save up to $6 on select ENERGY STAR compact fluorescent light bulbs and up to $8 on ENERGY STAR LED bulbs. Some retailers are also offering additional savings on ENERGY STAR fixtures like ceiling fans, and other energy-saving devices like motion sensors for lighting and power bars.
Some retailers are also offering a 12 per cent discount on select energy-efficient ENERGY STAR rated televisions and major appliances, as well as double the mail-in rebates on select ENERGY STAR clothes washers, dishwashers, refrigerators and freezers. More than 700 retailers in over 90 communities across the province are participating in Power Smart month incentives. For a complete list of all rebates and specials and for more information visit powermart.ca. Energy efficient, ENERGY STAR lighting, televisions and appliances can help reduce electricity costs. • LEDs use at least 75 per cent less energy than incandescent lighting and can last up to 25 years. • ENERGY STAR televisions use up to 30 per cent less electricity than standard models. • ENERGY STAR fridges and freezers use 20 per cent less energy. • ENERGY STAR washing machines are 36 per cent more efficient and a front-loading washing machine can cut water use by nearly 40 per cent.
Hedley property attracts the attention of a major mining company WestCan Uranium Corp. (Symbol WCU.V), recently announced in a press release that the company’s management “is reacting to the recent surge in the market activity and is actively pursuing potential joint ventures on its holdings in the Hedley Gold Basin of Southern British Columbia, located 230 kilometres east of Vancouver.� The total land package involved covers approximately 16,000 hectares. Westcan’s project has attracted the attention of a senior Canadian based gold producer. Westcan was approached by the senior mining company earlier this year, (which cannot be named at this juncture due to confidentiality issues), to review the properties held under option by Westcan. Two geologists have been sent to the area to evaluate the historical data which has been assembled over the winter, by Grant Crooker, a Similkameen based geologist who is Westcan’s qualified person for the project, and the vendor of 11,000 of the 16,000 hectares. The area concerned has been broken down into six target areas; the WP, Chevron, Blitz, Lookout, Paul and Kel, based on geological, geochemical and geophysical parameters. Westcan previously issued a news release on the WP target (see Stockwatch Feb. 8, 2012) and has finished the examination of the second of the six target areas, the Chevron target

(see Stockwatch Feb. 23, 2012). This target covers an area 1,500 metres long by 1,000 metres wide and contains the Speculator, Don and Lost Horse 86 showings. The target area is underlain by Hedley formation sedimentary and Whistle formation volcanic rocks of the Nicola Group that have been intruded by diorite of the Hedley intrusions and granodiorite of the Cahill Creek pluton. Although to date there have been no discussions as to details of a potential joint venture, interest from the major mining company is continuing. Work on the properties is currently being carried out by Westcan for assessment purposes, and Westcan intends to announce details of a financing shortly. The emphasis will be on the flow through units, as the property is eligible for the “Super Flow Through� tax incentive program. The Hedley Formation is considered to be the most favourable host rock for gold-skarn type deposits in the Hedley District, and hosts the strata-bound gold-skarn deposits at Nickel Plate Mountain. Gold production at Nickel Plate Mountain commenced in 1904 and continued until 1996 with production of 2,524,313 ounces of gold from the Nickel Plate and Hedley-Mascot mines.

It’s great to see someone as deserving as you retire. Be sure you work just as hard at relaxing as you have in your long career. Congratulations Ernie and Marilyn!
After almost 35 years of serving Princeton and area, partners in life and business, Ernie and Marilyn Lawrence have officially retired. As of September 1 of this year, the Lawrences’ sold Princeton Builders Mart 1980 Ltd. (Irly Bird), to their very good friends, Susan Robinson and Peter Confortin. In January of 1978 a partnership developed with the Summerland Builders Mart, (a Timber Mart yard) and shortly after Ernie began managing their Princeton operation. At this time, the location of the store was on Vermilion Ave., where the Fields store operates today. The store yard was between the building and the sidewalk— not a great deal of space for a building supply yard. The small yard created challenges for the operation. Thursdays were usually days of mass panic as customers would have to arrive at the same time as the delivery truck in order to pick up their purchases. Due to the lack of space, the road was often filled to capacity— thankfully, the neighbours and the town were quite understanding. In 1980, the Lawrence’s purchased the operation from Summerland, and the business known as Princeton Builders Mart 1980 Ltd., was born. Running a business and raising three children; Andrew, Heather and Tess, kept the family quite busy. Marilyn also worked as the Princeton Public Health Nurse for many years. Volunteering has been an important part of both Ernie and Marilyn’s lives. Ernie is a proud 17 year member of the Princeton Rotary Club, Christmas Songfest coordinator for 25 years and member of Save Our Similkameen, since
it’s inception. Marilyn has served as a director on the B.C. Lung Association for over 25 years and had served on the executive committee for several years as well. In 1983 Marilyn took on the accounting/bookkeeping tasks for Princeton Builders Mart, working alongside her husband full-time. During 1987 Princeton Builders Mart became a member of IRLY, a Surrey, B.C., based co-op that provided supplies, services and trucking. The following year, the Lawrences purchased land on Burton Ave.—the current location of the business. In 1991, Len Buchignani of Barbuck Construction worked through a very mild winter, allowing completion of the new building on Burton by June of 1992. During Father’s Day weekend, store inventory, racks and displays were trucked, forklifted and literally pushed, pulled and dragged across the highway to the new site. In January of this year, IRLY (Princeton Builders Mart) became part of Tim-Br Mart, a nation wide co-op. Ernie and Marilyn have enjoyed the time with their customers, “It’s why we get up in the morning,� Ernie said. They have many fond memories of them and of their staff members—“our employees are stellar.� Support from industry such as the sawmill and the mine has also been tremendous Ernie said, “Thank you to the people of Princeton. It’s been a pleasure serving you—we can’t thank you enough.� The couple are not leaving Princeton, they are just off to enjoy retirement. However, Marilyn did say that she may just lend Ernie to the Builders Mart occasionally, just to “go down and kick the lumber pile around a bit.�
Ernie and Marilyn, Congratulations on your well deserved retirement! Wishing you much happiness in the years ahead.

The new Board of Directors is eager to continue working with the community of Princeton to find solutions to our health care problems.

SpotlightOPINION Marijuana debate presents two tough choices Staff Writer Black Press
One of the hottest topics at the recent Union of BC Municipalities convention in Victoria involved a resolution surrounding the decriminalization of marijuana. The convention delegates voted in favour of decriminalization by a narrow margin, a vote that was probably quite reflective of societal thinking in general on the issue. It’s a tough subject to take a firm stance on. The criminal activity associated with marijuana production and use seems reminiscent of the days of bootleg alcohol and Prohibition. One can’t help but think that decriminalization and regulated use of pot would take away its attractiveness to criminal organizations, but at the same time there is the aspect of marijuana’s role in the importation and use of more powerful and more lethal drugs. The RDOS’ top cop, Brad Haugli, expressed his view to the regional district board on more than one occassion that the trade in marijuana - in B.C. - involved use of the drug as a trade item for other drugs like cocaine and ecstacy. He also pointed out that deregulation in the provincial jurisdiction of B.C. would create even more opportunities for the criminal element to provide pot to other jurisdictions where the substance is still illegal. Still, we can’t help but wonder - especially when one looks at the regulatory industry created by the strict enforcement of marijuana laws in certain U.S.states, where virtually whole economies are created from law enforcement with regard to what many people see as a recreational drug - whether deregulation might not ultimately be the best of what are ultimately two poor choices at best.

Violence against animals should not be tolerated
Dear Editor, About a month ago my darling pet cat went missing. I looked all over Hedley where we live. I asked questions to neighbours and consulted with those that have more experience than me with the behaviour of domestic animals, in this case cats‌to find out that indeed it seemed peculiar its disappearance. But, no one had seen her. My next step was to approach the local SPCA for our region, the Penticton SPCA office. After giving them a description of the cat and letting them know that the cat had been tattooed and a microchip implanted for easier recognition in case she got lost, they said no cat fitting the description had been turned in. Both the microchip and tattooed information were linked to the Veterinary Hospital in Chilliwack. I contacted the hospital, they, upon confirming that their information is indeed connected to their facility and assured me no one from Penticton had ever contacted them cat Hippie. Otherwise they would have for certain contacted me in turn. BY this time I had started losing hope of ewer finding her again. Then, about a week ago, I heard the screams of a women that was house sitting my next door neighbour’s house. For some reason, just like a mother feels, my instincts told me that the incident might very well be linked to my cat. I decided to go into the Penticton SPCA office and enquire once again, this time armed with the news given to me by the local POst Master, that indeed a cat fitting Hippie’s description had been found agonizing a leg hold trap set by me neighbour before going on holidays. By this time, several local residents stated that the man has a history of taking pleasure in killing little defenceless animals, not only cats and dogs, but squirrels, for example. Penticton SPCA this time around confirmed the identity of my cat by matching the serial numbers in the tattoo. They also said that Hippie
SpotlightCOMMUNITY Clubs join together and host Golf fundraiser On Saturday, Sept. 29, 38 golfers set out on the front nine of the Princeton Golf Course to participate in a joint fundraiser for two local youth sport clubs. The Princeton Skating Club and the Kokanee Summer Swim Club joined forces to organize this fun golf tournament. Event organizers, Suzanne Holland and Barb Gould, received generous local business support for the event and they are truly appreciative of all the donations. Capri Insurance sponsored the Putting Contest. There was a four-way tie so the four golfers tried again to sink a long challenging putt. The event ended in a “blind� putt and Hanna Gould was the Closest to the pin winning the $100 prize. Westland Insurance sponsored a $10,000 Hole In One on the 7th hole – one golfer, Ron Graff, came closest to sinking the dream shot but the grand prize remained unclaimed. Chef Peter provided an outstanding buffet for all the participants to enjoy. After the dinner prizes were awarded and Sunderland/Vandermeulen team were first to select from the prize table for low score. Team Hassel/Marr were up next to select for the Most Honest Golfers. The remaining participants were selected by draw. Leah Ward won the Ladies Longest Putt prize and Carol Soderstrom won the Ladies Long Drive. Loretto Emmons and Al Lawes won the Pick-A-Card Long Drive. Dave Holland won Men’s Long Drive and Ted Taylor won the Men’s KP Silent Auction items were bid on throughout the evening and door prizes were also handed out. Event organizers would like to acknowledge the amazing support for their two small clubs. Thank you to all the businesses, families and friends who came out to golf and who give their support throughout the year.
had been brought into their office with severe injuries (it seems like multiple injuries) as well as being severely traumatized by having been in a trap for more than 5 days with no water or food. A person that is wanting to get rid of an animal has several options. First you can let the owner of the pet know that the animal needs to be kept out of their yard. (My cat was an indoor cat by the way) If the owner does not understand, they can opt fore a Live trap and turn the animal over to the SPCA, who in turn would contact the owner and warn them of their neglectfulness. Using leg hold traps is inhumane, no doubt about it, they after force the animal to chew their own leg in an attempt to free themselves. To make the long and distressful story short, this man with his actions has caused undue amount of pain to me personally, to my family, and most importantly, undue pain and suffering to Hippie. At present my cat remains at the Penticton SPCA which refuses to return Hippie to me. They initially tried to exhort twenty-five hundred dollars for her return to my family, and now they are saying I have no right to claim her back! It is my family’s consolation that the Vet at the Chilliwack clinic as well as my GP stand behind us. I would like to add that, let this be a lesson to the importance to stand up against violent acts such as this and many others. People with that conduct themselves with violence or commit violent acts have to receive a strong message that bullying is not to be tolerated. If anyone wishes to forward with more information about the case, you can either contact the Penticton SPCA or report it to the local RCMP. Fear is no way to live in a free nation. Marcela A.

Changes punish the poor on employment insurance Dear Editor, Last spring when the Conservative government announced changes to a program that allows people to work part-time while they are receiving Employment Insurance (EI), it seemed like an improvement. Well, as usual the devil is in the details: the changes actually punish low-income Canadians by clawing back 50% of the very first dollar an EI recipient makes. Until now, an ‘allowable earnings provision’ let people earn and keep up to 40% of their weekly EI benefit, giving them an incentive to work more. For example, if Kenny Gettabreak is receiving a $400 weekly EI benefit, he could earn and keep $160. The Conservatives claim the new Working While on Claim program allows “claimants to keep more of what they earn,� yet they conveniently forget to mention that it eliminated the allowable earnings provision. While Kenny Gettabreak used to be able to keep the full $160 of earnings, now he only gets $80 since 50% of it is clawed-back.

They are forcing people in lowpaying jobs or who only work a few hours a week to do with less. Since Parliament resumed this fall, the Liberal Party has been demanding that Minister Finley reinstate the allowable earning provision. Not only is she unwilling to do so, she is unwilling to even admit that low-income Canadians are being penalized. Knowing the dogma of this Conservative government, either they believe people working part-time are too lazy to work more, or it is just another hidden measure to force people to move out of our small communities. Either way, it is a punitive new program for low-income Canadians that reinforces my belief in these Conservatives: don’t trust them as far as you can throw them.

Search and rescue crews go above and beyond A small plane with three people on board is overdue at its destination after taking off from Kelowna International Airport eight hours ago. With no communications since then it is believed to have crashed somewhere in the rugged mountains to the southwest. At this stage, the Joint Rescue Co-ordination Centre in Victoria has swung military aircraft into action. That is the scenario facing the crew of the 19 Wing Comox 442 Squadron Buffalo aircraft as they take off from Penticton Regional Airport shortly after dawn on a recent training exercise mission. On board the bright yellow and red, twin-engine workhorse — now nearly a half-century old — this day are nine souls. That includes the two pilots, navigator, flight engineer and three search and rescue technicians, better known in the business as SAR techs. Pilot and first officer Capt. Steve Kind is in charge on this flight as part of his training to upgrade to aircraft captain. Although based on the coast, he points out 442 Squadron is regularly tasked to incidents in the Interior, which is why these exercises are critical. “The mountains can be very challenging and those challenges come down mainly to weather conditions,” he said while waiting to leave. “Here you’re dealing with the different winds, and if the clouds are low, can you go down into the valleys because you have to have a way out. “It can sneak up on you and that’s why we’re here today, to get good at it so when that pager goes off at 11 o’clock at night you know what you’re going into.” Like most military aircraft, there are no luxuries, rescue gear ranging from inflatable boats to toboggans and parachutes are packed precisely along plane’s starboard side. There are a few bench seats and rotating stools where spotters sometimes sit for hours looking out the large convex windows for the tiniest glint of metal in the dense forests below. Safety lines and harnesses are attached to clips and rings throughout the plane The movements of the crew in the crowded, narrow confines are more like a choreographed dance
routine as preparations are made to drop the SAR techs by parachute to the scene. In the background over the headphones are the voices of the men as they communicate technical data and the occasional joke before the real job begins. Because this is a training exercise, part of the work includes building the camaraderie aspect of the team which is crucial in an actual event. The small airstrip on the outside of Osoyoos was chosen as the “crash” site for this simulation. While the accident is fictional, what the crew and SAR techs are doing is very real and everyone must precisely know their roles. That’s because jumping out of the rear hatch of the Buffalo at an altitude of just over 4,000 feet, there is little room for error. In this case, two of the SAR techs, leader Kaulin Damron and George Beatteay, are using the staticline deployment where the parachutes open automatically as they leave the aircraft, and Nathan King will do a brief free fall before pulling the rip cord. For safety reasons, the static-line method is the only one used in an actual mission. Once on the ground, the three men quickly pack up their chutes and retrieve the gear packages which contain medical and other supplies they dropped earlier. Pilots Kind and Dan Faux then land the aircraft on the short strip of asphalt, which also serves as the community drag strip on some Sunday afternoons. Unlike most of the regular missions, the weather is bright and sunny, the only hint of a problem are the increasing crosswinds as the ground heats up. The concern is evident in the voices of the pilots, and the ultimate decision is a full-power takeoff. This particular aircraft is designated as a STOL (short take off and landing) for good reason, and why having the seat-belt securely fastened is a necessity. Once safely in the air, crew members quickly move to the windows to check the engines, and with everything running smoothly, it’s back to Penticton and a debriefing on the afternoon’s exercise. That involves reviewing procedures, looking for ways to correct any problems or improve procedures, because from this exercise the success of the next actual emergency — and more importantly, lives — may depend on it.

It has been over a year and a half of speculating for the family of missing Penticton man Al Chretien. On Saturday, September 29 their questions were answered. Two hunters in Elko County, Nev. found his remains about 12 kilometres from where the vehicle Albert and his wife Rita had been travelling in got stuck on a back country road. “We had long concluded Albert was in heaven already. We know we have more insight into his last day here. We now have comfort and closure to this chapter in our lives,” said Henry Chretien, Albert’s brother. The older brother said finding the remains will hopefully bring closure to many of the friends, family and complete strangers who volunteered their time to search for Albert. “Our understanding is that Albert’s remains were found resting under a tree. He had placed his backpack where it could be seen and he laid down under the protection of the tree for a much-needed rest and died peacefully in his sleep,” said Henry. “After leaving the van he had walked 10 miles, climbed 2,300 feet in altitude and in adverse conditions.” A memorial service for Albert was held in April, but the family said his remains will come home to Penticton to be buried as he wished. Less than two weeks ago, Rita made a public appearance in Baker City, Ore. to thank all those who have helped in the search for her husband. She told the audience that after they got stuck, Albert had tried to make a 9-1-1 call from a cellphone and had gotten through. According to the story in the Baker City Herald, the call was cutoff before he could tell the dispatcher everything first responders would need to know to get to them. The couple then tried to walk out of the area together on the second day of being stranded, but had to return to the van because of the adverse March weather conditions and Rita had injured her knee. The next day Albert decided he would go alone to seek help, leaving his wife Rita in the safety of the van to wait. “As they parted that day, they believed that whether they saw each other in a few days or not, they would eventually see each other in heaven,” said the couple’s pastor Neil Allenbrand at a press conference held by the family on Tuesday. Rita survived 49 days on nothing but a small spoonful of trail mix a day, hard candy, fish oil tablets, water and her Christian faith. Running out of food and energy, Rita previously said she believed she was going to die the day she was found by a group of hunters on ATVs. The Chretien family have had closure on Albert’s death for quite some time. Rita said the discovery of his body was just “tangible evidence” of how he passed away. On Tuesday, the quiet and demure woman — who has proven to be an inspiration to many — thanked everyone for their assistance and her loving husband for valiantly trying to find them help. “I thought you did good Al, thank you for your effort,” said Rita of what ran through her head when she heard her husband had made it halfway to the nearest town of Mountain City before he

Hunters discover body Detective Dennis Journigan of the Elko County Sheriff’s Office said the missing man’s remains were found by elk hunters Rodney Thompson and Jay Doak. “They actually found a backpack and looked through it, and there was a logo on it and they recognized it was from British Columbia, so they put two and two together,” said Journigan. “They didn’t have cell service there so they had to come out to where they could get it to call us.” The Chretiens were reported missing on March 19, 2011 after having not been heard from since they left Penticton for a business convention in Las Vegas. The couple followed the suggested route that they thought was taking them to their destination that evening of Jackpot, Nev. Instead, they wound up on a remote forestry service road near the Idaho and Nevada border. They had thought it was a shortcut that would lead them back to the main road, but then the sun went down and before they knew it, they were lost. The muddy, snowy terrain caused their van to slide off the road. Three days later, 59-year-old Albert packed up a bag with some of the trail mix they were eating and the GPS and left his wife with their van, attempting to walk back to State Route 225 in search of help. It was seven weeks later that Rita was miraculously found alive by a group of hunters. The search for her husband continued for months by authorities, search and rescue parties and volunteers. With no trace of the man found, in April 2012 a memorial service was held at a Penticton church where more than 500 people gathered to celebrate Albert’s life. “Al rarely missed a day without saying to me I love you,” said Rita during her tribute to her dearest friend and husband. “I have many good memories to cherish for the rest of my life. We were married 38 years. He truly was a gift of God to me. I miss him very much and I will see him again some day.” Det. Journigan said Albert had headed in the right direction on his trek to find help, and was about halfway to the nearest town. “It’s steep, wooded terrain and where he was found was in a grove of trees,” said Journigan, who added he did not know if an autopsy would take place. “It looks like he died of natural causes. He tried to probably get out of a snowstorm because there was a lot of snow in that country at that time of year. It looked like he tried to find some shelter and perhaps froze, we don’t know. It was a pretty tough winter and usually that country is pretty inaccessible until the snow starts to melt and the spring comes.” Search parties, airplanes and other efforts were previously made to scour the area where Albert’s remains were found, but Journigan estimates the body was buried underneath about 10 feet of snow.

BC’s seriously ill children need a new home Somewhere in British Columbia, right now, a family is struggling to come to terms with the news that their child has a life-threatening illness. They need to leave for BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. Immediately. They have no place to stay in Vancouver, and can’t afford a hotel. Worse still, they know their child will need intensive treatment, possibly for a year. Or more. This is the heartbreaking reality that thousands of families with seriously ill children have to face every year. The only hope for some? Ronald McDonald HouseŽ, British Columbia—a home-awayfrom-home for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. The current Ronald McDonald HouseŽ BC in Vancouver can accommodate just 13 families at a time. Unfortunately, we have to turn away dozens of families each month. We urgently need to build a new Ronald McDonald HouseŽ BC in Vancouver to better serve the needs of seriously ill children from BC and the Yukon. But we can’t do it without your help. We already have the land, big enough to build a new 74,000 square foot house, which will serve the needs of up to 73 families at a time. It’s per-

fectly located, right on the property of BC Children’s Hospital. So, families can have easy access to treatment. The new House will provide additional capacity and services that will enable families to keep their lives moving forward as normally as possible — despite their medical crisis. Our families are dealing with tremendous stress, a wide range of emotions, and a myriad of complex issues. Their needs reach far beyond finding an affordable place to stay. We need to raise $28.80 million. Good news is we have a matching donation for $26.75 million of that amount, which means for every dollar you give, the BC Ministry of Health will match it, up to $13.375 million.
We’re currently building a new, bigger Ronald McDonald HouseŽ BC next to BC Children’s Hospital. Once completed, the House will keep thousands more families together as their children receive treatment at the hospital. This House is our chance to surround more sick children with the love and support of their parents and siblings.

Only a working smoke alarm can save your life! FIRE PREVENTION WEEK OCT. 7-14
~ Saluting our local heroes
Smoke alarms save lives “Fall backâ€? to smart home safety As most Canadians turn back the clocks on November 4, here are some timely smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) safety tips: s 7HEN YOU change your clocks, test your smoke arlam. s 9OU HAVE less than three minutes to escape a ďŹ re. So when smoke alarms sound, everyone must know what to do and where to go. Having and practising an escape plan is essential. s )NSTALL ONE SMOKE ALARM on every storey and outside BEDROOMS )NSTALL INSIDE bedrooms if you sleep with doors closed. s %NSURE ALL SMOKE ALARMS are fully powered. Never take out batteries or remove an alarm from ceiling due to a false alarm. s )F YOUR HOME HAS ANY fuel-burning devices such as a gas furnace, gas water heater, gas appliances, or an attached garage or carport, install at least one CSAapproved carbon monoxide outside all sleeping areas. One per storey is recommended.
s 2EPLACE SMOKE ALARMS EVery 10 years, and CO alarms every 7-10 years (depending on manufacturer) whether battery operated or hardwired into your home’s electrical system. Carbon monoxide is colourless, odourless and tasteless. So without a CO alarm, humans cannot detect its presence. Despite the average home having several potential sources of the deadly gas, studies show that nearly 60 per cent of Canadians have not INSTALLED A #/ ALARM )N ADdition to being impossible to detect, CO also has another nefarious trait. Symptoms of carbon monoxide exposure mimic the u, without the FEVER )T IS ROUTINELY RESPONsible for thousands of clinic and hospital visits each year, and is commonly misdiagnosed. Prolonged or extreme exposure causes nausea, dizziness, confusion, the loss of physical mobility, brain damage and ultimately, death. More home safety resources can be found on the www. safeathome.ca web site.
Analysis was undertaken on almost 50,000 ďŹ res that occurred in Alberta, British Columbia, and Ontario over a 5-year period involving 663 fatalities. The ďŹ ndings demonstrated that the death rate per 1,000 ďŹ res in the absence of a present, functioning smoke alarm was 74% greater than when a functioning smoke alarm was present.
In case of ďŹ re - GET OUT AND STAY OUT – never go back into a burning building s #RAWL LOW NEAR THE mOOR TO the nearest exit maintaining contact with the wall. s 4EST THE DOOR BY FEELING IT WITH THE BACK OF YOUR HAND )F it is hot, do not open. Use an alternative route. s )F THE DOOR AND KNOB ARE cool, stay low with your shoulder against the door while opening slowly. Be ready to close the door if smoke and heat rush in. s )F TRAPPED PUT AS MANY
closed doors as possible between you and the ďŹ re, and seal all cracks in doors and windows with towels or bedding. s )F YOUR CLOTHING CATCHES ďŹ re, stop where you are, drop gently to the ground and cover your face with your hands while rolling back-and-forth to put out the ames. s #OOL MINOR BURNS WITH cold water.
Many fatal ďŹ res start at night )NVESTIGATIONS into home ďŹ re deaths very often ďŹ nd that a smoke alarm did not sound. )T MAY HAVE been disconnected or not in working order. The batteries may have been dead, or someone may have taken them out. Smoke alone won’t necessarILY WAKE YOU UP )N FACT THE fumes could put you into an even deeper sleep. Often, victims never wake up. Se-
niors will often need assistance from family members to put safety measures into place. As well, family members are in the best position to reinforce the precautions necessary to help their loved ones prevent or respond to a ďŹ re. Focus on these six priorities to help aging family members protect themselves against ďŹ re in the home.
N INSTALL smoke alarms inside every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement. N Larger homes may need ADDITIONAL smoke alarms to provide enough protection. N For the best protection, INTERCONNECT all smoke alarms so when one sounds they all sound. N An IONIZATION smoke alarm is generally more responsive to aming ďŹ res and a PHOTOELECTRIC smoke alarm is generally more responsive to smoldering ďŹ res. For the best protection, both types of alarms or combination ionization and photoelectric alarms (also known as dual sensor alarms) are recommended. N Smoke alarms should be INSTALLED away from the kitchen to prevent false alarms. Generally, they should be at least 10 feet (3 meters) from a cooking appliance. N REPLACE all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old.

The Hedley Fire Department held a celebration of their 100 year anniversary, starting with an apparatus demonstration, and a ”water ballet” spraying water against a beautiful blue sky, creating rainbows against that spectacular backdrop. It was explained to spectators why we did things in such and such a way, why we wore turnout gear and Self Contained Breathing Apparatus and how the pump hoses and nozzles operated. A well attended open house with a historical display well as all of the current apparatus, People could view the equipment, ask questions as to how they work, and see the contrast between firefighting today and 100 years ago. Almost 100 hotdogs were served, for a donation, dropped in a firefighter’s boot. Children as well as some older folk were entertained by being able to put out a “structure fire” using forest fire equipment, emulating in a very small way what a regular structure fire would be like. This celebration was held in place of Fire Prevention Week as home and fire safety were one of the themes of the day. The Hedley Fire Department now has a full roster of 20 with an average of 14 at each practice. This includes two junior firefighters one who will graduate next year and become a regular firefighter. We hold regular practices on Tuesdays and optional practices on
Saturdays so that people who miss regular practice can catch up, as well as those on probation can get more experience. They have been holding “cross training” exercises with the Keremeos Fire Department in areas such as roof venting and water transfer. They have also trained with the Princeton Fire Department. This is invaluable practice to expose our members to advanced instruction and experience practical training.
Eastgate Fire Protection Society
There’s no time to waste when it comes to keeping your family and home safe from fire. Here are ten important fire prevention tips to follow every day. 1. Keep volatile chemicals, such as fertilizers and turpentine, in labeled containers within a locked storage area separate from your home. 2. Store gasoline in an approved container outside of your home. 3. Store matches and lighters in a locked cabinet. 4. Keep things that can burn away from your fireplace and always keep a glass or metal screen in front of your fireplace. 5. Never leave the kitchen unattended while cooking. 6. Keep things that can burn, such as dishtowels and plastic bags, at least three feet away from the range top. 7. Thoroughly soak cigarette and cigar butts with water before dumping them in the trash. 8. Never leave barbecue grills unattended while in use. 9. Never leave burning candles unattended. 10. Don’t overload electrical outlets, extension cords and power strips.
A special thank you to the volunteer Firefighters who make our community a safer place to live and work.
After a pretty rough 2010, the Eastgate Fire Department has moved forward. After their first responder truck was stolen it was eventually relocated. It had been stripped of everything of any value. The truck has since been restored and a 16’x 24’ addition put onto the firehall to house the truck. Approximately 50 volunteers assisted with the project over the summer.
The Eastgate Fire Protection Society has continued with regular operations such as brush clean-up to reduce the fuel in the forest that surrounds the community. They are working to complete the renovations and painting of the fire hall. The year has been fairly quiet as there have been few thunderstorms. Eastgate Fire Protection Society members are appreciative of all the community residents who lend a helping hand.

Reflecting back on the year 2012. During 2012 the TDFD has continued strong with 15 members that include; Jody Woodford (CHIEF), MichaelSanderson (DEPUTY CHIEF), Dan Wolowidnyk(CAPT), Neil McDiarmid (CAPT), Rachelle Sanderson (SECRETARY), Marg Reichert, Ed Reichert, Tom Reichert, Rod Dixon, James Eisnor, Jimmy Blank, Frankie Reichert, Lori Northway(FIREFIGHTERS), Josh Sanderson, Derreck Northway (YOUTH FIREFIGHTERS). This year started out as regular as any other year, with our Wednesday night practices of pumping water and the maintaining all of our equipment. Our firehall became very busy with the spring run off this year. Our Chief did a wonderful job of keeping everyone informed of rising flood waters and also of helping those that needed a hand with just about everything they could think of. After all of the flooding was over we came into summer, and of course, Tulameen Days. This is always a busy time for us with fund raising and setting up our booth to raise funds for future equipment purchases, and always a big thank you to anyone that helped out and also purchased something. In all, the TDFD has had a very nice year with people helping out with our organization with fundraising and being as responsible with there fire pits and outdoor burning.
It is always nice not to report any major calls or incidents involving the Fire Dept. So please keep up the good work, and remember that a clean chimney is a safe chimney. Michael Sanderson Deputy Chief

Hayes Creek Fire Department advises all homeowners to remove all long grass/weeds/ ladder fuels and dead trees from around all buildings on there property as no fire department...(or forestry)... is prepared for the worst case scenario (it is just not affordable to have resources available 24/7 for worst case happenings with multiple fires burning when the next drought comes along) in a wild land fire situation and it is your responsibility to do what you can to protect yourself until professional help can get to you when the worst occurs.

Thumbs Up/Down Thumbs up to residents who care enough to take care of their property and are concerned about the safety of their neighbourhood. Kudos to you who keep your yards clean and garbage stored properly. Thumbs down to those that have no regard for others in their neighbourhood and don’t care enough to properly care for their property—which of course, invites the bears into the neighbourhood and then the bears get shot! How is that fair!

VEGETABLE MINESTRONE Number of servings: 6 to 8 Saffron strands aren’t essential for this soup, but they give a wonderful delicate flavour, with the bonus of a lovely rich orange-yellow colour. Ingredients: • Large pinch of saffron strands • 1 onion, chopped • 1 leek, sliced • 1 stick celery, sliced • 2 carrots, diced • 2-3 garlic cloves, crushed • 600 ml (1 pint / 2 1/2 cups) chicken stock • 2 x 400 g (14 oz) cans chopped tomatoes • 50g (2 oz / 1/2 cup) frozen peas • 50 g (2 oz) soup pasta (anellini) • 5 ml (1 tsp) caster sugar • 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh parsley • 15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped fresh basil
CAPRICORN: Capricorn, a few things have gone wrong lately, but the good thing is you haven’t let them get you down. Good things certainly come to those who are patient. AQUARIUS: Aquarius, take inventory of your belongings and determine if there’s anything you can donate. You can clear out clutter and do something positive at the same time. PISCES: Pisces, things seem out of sorts, but you haven’t been able to figure out what is off-kilter. Leo may shed light on the situation. ARIES: Thinking outside of the box is what sets you apart from most, Aries. When you are put to the test, you seldom fail to come through. This is a good selling point with potential employers. TAURUS: Taurus, some people just don’t understand you, and that is OK with you. It can be good to be a bit mysterious, especially when it comes to romance. GEMINI: Analyzing spending and other financial concerns should be at the top of your priority list, Gemini. It is always a good idea to keep on top of where your money is going. CANCER: Cancer, communication is key if you want to make real progress. Actions can be misconstrued if you don’t accompany them with some thorough explanations. LEO: Others could find your enthusiasm infectious this week, Leo. Don’t be surprised if you have coworkers signing up to be on your team. At home you’re much more mellow. VIRGO: Virgo, achieving your toughest goal won’t be easy. Those who survive the challenges become stronger overall. This week you are certainly put to the test. LIBRA: Libra, big plans are in place, and you can be excited about the prospect for some change. Make a few adjustments each day and the transition will go smoothly. SCORPIO: Scorpio, don’t let others underestimate your abilities. Once you set your mind to something, it is very hard to direct you otherwise. Capitalize on your dedication at work. SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, you are ready to pull out all of the stops in the romance department. Whether you’re single or attached, focus on ways to make your partner feel very special.

• Salt and black pepper Directions: Soak the pinch of saffron strands in 15 ml (1 tbsp) boiling water. Leave to stand for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, put the prepared onion, leek, celery, carrots and garlic into a large pan. Add the chicken stock, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for about 10 minutes. Add the canned tomatoes, the saffron with its liquid and the frozen peas. Bring back to the boil and add the soup pasta. Simmer for 10 minutes until tender. Season with sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped herbs just before serving. Recipe and photo: The fat-free cook’s collection, consultant editor: Anne Sheasby

Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup Friends of Osprey Lake clean up Osprey & Link Lakes Recently “The Friends of Osprey Lake� conducted their 5th annual shoreline and lake cleanup of Osprey and Link Lakes. As part of the Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup a record 22 volunteers joined in and gathered litter from around the two lakes. There were three boats used on each lake to inspect and clean the shoreline. Participants also picked up garbage on the roadside of the community plus on the Trans-Canada Trail. Again as in past years cigarette packages, cellophane and butts as well as cigarillo tips were the most frequently observed and picked up item. If you smoke do not use the lake or ground as your ashtray. Be responsible and butt out in your own container. Wildlife and aquatic life can perish if they ingest these items. Also butting out on the ground is a definite fire hazard. Other items picked up were tires, a derelict boat, cans, bottles, fishing line and bait containers. The most interesting item found in the water was a “Whistle
Post� used by the Kettle Valley Railway. This was certainly an original sign dating back to approximately 1913. All told the group gathered about 400 lbs of waste including recyclable cans and bottles. We would like to recognize The Tepee Lakes Store which offered everyone free coffee during the cleanup. Also thank you to Norm Christman and Jill Pelland for transporting the material to the landfill. Finally, we would like to note that without the support of the City of Princeton for waiving the landfill fees we would
not be able to carry out our cleanup. Great work and thanks to all who helped and supported our local event. Contributed by, Terry Tellier Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup 2012 Coordinator Osprey Lake, BC
