The annual Youth Ambassador Fashion Show was held at Princeton Secondary School on Thursday, May 1.

The show is a yearly fundraiser that not only helps to support the Princeton Ambassador Program, it helps to showcase clothing, jewellery and accessories from local stores. It is also an evening that the youth enjoy and have a great deal of fun with their presentations.

This year, the candidates had a little extra help from youth models: Taelah Thomas, Aivry Thomas, Kabrie Hartwell and Sylvie Thomas; Brownie Buddies: Hannah Zirk, Shaelin Tomusiak, Mya Robbins, Kabrie Hartwell and Aivry Thomas; reigning Youth Ambassadors, Destiny Earle, Carmen Brodie and Friendship Ambassador, Morgan Whelpton.

Raising funds for local horse rescue Lisa Carleton

lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

Although they’ve only been at the rescue for just over a week, Ace and Sparkle come right to the fence when Gena Sandli approaches.

Ace, 17 and Sparkle, seven years old are Appendix Quarter Horses that are the latest arrivals to Outbackjacks Horse Rescue. The pair are a surrender from the Cawston area.

Ace and Sparkle are in rough shape and will be with the rescue for no less than a year, says Gena Sandli. “It will take that time to heal them and get their muscle mass rebuilt,” she adds. Since their arrival to the rescue, concentration on getting them nourishment properly and safely has been key. They are being fed every three hours and their water intake monitored.

A veterinarian attended Outbackjacks on Monday, May 5 to give both Ace and Sparkles a thorough physical.

In order for Sandli and her partner Dale Christie to provide a safe haven for these animals, they have to work steadily to raise funds for their rescue.

This past weekend saw the fifth annual Outbackjacks Flea Market take place right on the rescue property.

On Saturday the grounds were filled with local and out of town vendors selling their wares, bands from Vancouver, Chilliwack, Langley, Merritt and Princeton’s very own, Megan Liddicoat performing on stage in the center of the grounds.

Sandli also provided the Dry Grads of 2014 with a spot to sell their gas raffle tickets, coffee and tea to raise funds for their festivities.

On Friday, May 2 at 7 p.m., the 62 Annual General Meeting of the Hedley Improvement District (HID) was held in the Senior’s Hall.

The HID is the governing body responsible for providing water distribution, fire protection, and street lighting for the benefit of the residents of the town of Hedley.

Two trustee positions on the HID needed to be filled and were by Lynn Wells and David Peers.

Elections Officer, Graham Gore officiated the election proceedings.

Coleen Doherty, chair reported that the HID had lent their name to an application for a feasibility study involving a Mcrohydro project that may be possible at the Nickleplate Mine Ponds. “It is a forward thinking process, she said, “but in the very beginning stages.”

She also reported that things were going well with the HID. “We have become proactive.” The HID is, “in the positive instead of negative.” Restructuring of water tolls, learning to

save for future purchases, etc., “It all adds up in places, we’re able to draw from.”

The Water Report presented by Kevin Whittaker included the fact that there were no major projects in 2013, lighter projects ie) valve replacements were ongoing, water testing done regularly, results are clear and that saving for future pump replacement (when needed) is already underway.

A gentleman from the floor spoke, “ I appreciate the fact that you talk with confidence, that you are planning for the future, It gives me great confidence,” he said.

The Fire Department report was presented by manager Graham Gore. Busy months were noted as January and February.

Gore reported that the roster was low at this time. “We need three firefighters, but have space for five.” He went on to explain that there were financial rewards for joining the fire department, such as paid on call, courses are paid for and tax benefits can be received.

Meeting attendee, Art Martens commented on the, “exemplary firefighters” the community was lucky to have.

SpotlightNEWS Tiana Spencer, a young mother living in Princeton stepped on a hypodermic needle just outside of the park in the Allison Flats area.

The needle did pierce her flesh and she immediately sought medical care.

Tiana shared her story with the Spotlight so she could remind parents that there are risks and to encourage them to keep watch over the areas that their children play in.

Young mother issues warning Lisa Carleton

lisa@similkameenspotlight.com

On Wednesday, April 30, a message came across Princeton Facebook pages from a young mother warning parents to keep their children away from the park located in the Allison Flats area.

Tiana Spencer was walking home, along the path just outside of the park when she felt something pierce her foot.

When she stopped and lifted her foot she realized that there was a hypodermic needle in her shoe that had gone through piercing her flesh.

The wise young woman quickly enlisted the help of a neighbour to drive her to the hospital.

Spencer says she was given, “preventative medications, to take for five days” and that she will have to have future testing for Hepatitis and HIV. Angry and determined, Spencer returned home and posted on Facebook, explaining what had happened to her and warning parents to keep their kids away from the park.

Spencer said she also reported the incident to the Town of Princeton and to the RCMP. Wanting to get her message out to parents,

Spencer contacted the Spotlight and we met with her at the park.

Spencer pointed out the spot where stepped on the hypodermic needle. Just inside the fencing is the Lions Park located in the Allison Flats area. Spencer adds that it is also a bus stop for the children attending school.

Spencer is very concerned, “I am doing this (sharing her story) just so all parents will know there is a risk,” she said, I encourage people to keep watch over the areas their kids are playing at.”

The Town of Princeton owns the parks throughout the community. Although reports like this are not a common occurrence in Princeton, the Town does want the community to know that should a hypodermic needle be found in any of the parks, “by all means, contact the Town of Princeton with the exact location so that they can dispose of it properly.”

Hypodermic needles can carry germs and pose health risks to others, including the risk of hepatitis and HIV. Disposal of the needles should be into a sharps container and NOT thrown into your household garbage.

Princeton Hospital Auxiliary ~ Spring news What a wonderful beginning of Spring.

So far this month we have earmarked over $37,300 for the purchase of equipment for Princeton Hospital. $30,000 for half the cost of a C.R. Reader for our Xray department, $4,500 for a pen that tests internal eye pressure, and $2,900 for a ambulatory blood pressure monitor.

We trust these will speed up and improve health care for us all in Princeton.

Again this year we will be awarding $2,000 in scholarship funds to one or more deserving Princeton High School student(s).

We had four new members join us last month and we welcome them all and hope they enjoy their time with us. Remember we are always looking for new members, so drop into the Thrift Store and see what we’re all about!

Last year at this time the Province of B.C. Issued a Proclamation to all, that the B.C. Association of Health Care Auxiliaries be recognized. Now, May 10 each year will be known as “Health Care Auxiliary Day.” It acknowledges our 87 auxiliaries with 6700 adult and 740 youth members. Also, 1,315,000 volunteer hours and $8,025,000 donated to our health care and well being. It’s nice to be recognized don’t you think?

Upcoming events: we will hopefully be repeating the success of our fashion show and tea in 2015. We have just started planning for a spring and summer show for May. Look for us at the Fall Fair, Sept. 6 and 7, 2014 we will have a booth there.

If your into Google look for us there soon as we will be putting up our own web page.

Thanks again to all our wonderful customers who support our shop and fund-raising efforts!

Road resurfacing on sections of Highway 3 to begin OLIVER—Hot-in-Place road resurfacing along Highway 3 will begin in May and is scheduled to be completed by late-September. The repaving will begin 21 kilometres east of Highway 5A junction in Princeton and continue east for 9.92 kilometres ending at Stirling Bridge. Work begins again 13 kilometres east of the Highway 3A Junction in Keremeos and continues east for 12 kilometres ending just before Nighthawk Road.

The Hot-in-Place road resurfacing contract, worth a total of $2.3 million, was awarded to Peter’s Bros Construction Ltd., of Penticton. The benefits of using Hot-in-Place asphalt recycling

are threefold: the process is faster than traditional paving methods, saves resources, and lowers greenhouse gas emissions.

“Maintaining highway infrastructure is one of our priorities,” said Boundary-Similkameen MLA Linda Larson. “Resurfacing is an economic and environmentally-friendly way to make our roads safer.”

“Highway 3 is a main highway connecting traffic in the southern Okanagan to Princeton, Hope and points beyond,” Fraser-Nicola MLA Jackie Tegart said. “It is an important part of our economy and our community and these upgrades will benefit both.”

Government of British Columbia and Xplornet Partner to Bring Affordable High-Speed to Remote B.C. Residents.

Xplornet Communications Inc. is pleased to announce a partnership with the government of British Columbia to help bridge the urban/rural digital divide in rural and remote British Columbia.

The initiative is a multi-year program to make Internet connectivity more affordable in rural and remote areas where installation costs can be high.

The program will provide a subsidy of up to $250, or half of the cost of an installation of broadband equipment to new residential and business customers within Xplornet’s industry leading 4G rural broadband satellite footprint. This will significantly reduce the costs of installation, costs that may have been a barrier to the adoption of high-speed Internet.

“The government of British Columbia deserves significant praise for a program that helps break down one of the last barriers to full connectivity in the province – namely the high cost of broadband installation in remote parts of BC. Now, even the most remote British Columbians can affordably benefit from the transformative power of high-speed Internet to connect them to the global economy,” said Xplornet President Allison Lenehan.

Xplornet is the country’s leading rural broadband Internet provider and takes pride in connecting over 200,000 Canadians to the world. The commitment to offering every Canadian reliable, affordable and fast Internet is shared by an ever-expanding network of over 450 local dealers, including 60 in British Columbia alone.

For more information about Xplornet high-speed Internet and how you may benefit from the British Columbia Broadband Satellite Initiative, visit xplornet.com or call 855-494-1079. For complete details on the British Columbia Broadband Initiative please visit www.gov.bc.ca/bcbroadbandsatellite.

GSAR hosts tracker training camp Randy Rorvik PGSAR

British Columbia Tracking Association members from around the Province attended an In-house Novice /Advanced tracking course hosted by the Princeton Ground Search and Rescue team during the weekend of April 25 to the 27.

Members attended this course to learn and practice their man tracking skills. Tracking is a vital tool used by SAR teams to quickly determine the direction of travel and ultimately help find lost subjects. The 40 members who attended the first course of the year fully enjoyed themselves.

The course was held at the Wildfire branch Sierra’s suppression camp near Martins Lake and offered up some very challenging ground to track on. PGSAR would like to thank the camp for allowing its use.

We would also like to thank the Princeton Bakery for the delicious food they catered to us all weekend.

Vaccinations-not just for children Guest Editorial Black Press

In the past 50 years, vaccinations have saved more lives than any other health intervention.

Vaccines are very safe, safer than therapeutic medicines and far safer than the consequences of the diseases that they protect against.

They are also highly cost-effective. For example, for every $16 invested into providing the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine to children, a life is saved. This can be compared to other effective public health interventions such as driver and passenger air bags, which cost $61,000 per life saved, or smoke detectors in homes at $210,000 per life saved.

But vaccines are not just kids’ stuff.

Adults need them, too.

While some vaccines provide lifelong protection after a short series of shots, certain vaccines need booster doses, most notably tetanus, which should be received every 10 years. Other vaccines are only routinely recommended once one becomes a senior.

Young adult women are now being offered the HPV vaccine, which protects against 70 per cent of the causes of cervical cancer.

Unlike other vaccines, the influenza vaccine is given annually. This vaccine is formulated each year based on the types of circulating influenza viruses that are causing the most serious disease.

Response to the vaccine is best in healthy individuals and only partially effective in people who are frail, elderly or have significant chronic diseases. This is why it is so important for healthy people who live with or care for those most at risk of severe outcomes from influenza also get the vaccine.

If you are travelling abroad, going back to college, pregnant, entering into a healthcare profession or have any chronic underlying health conditions, you should ask your physician or call your local public health unit to find out which vaccines are recommended for you.

The best reason to get vaccinated is that it protects you, and it protects the people around you. This is an important concept because vaccinated individuals become a ring of protection around the most vulnerable people in our families and communities, such as infants and children, the elderly and those with chronic diseases.

Vaccines have been a powerful tool to reduce disease, disability, death and inequities for people of all ages and in all places.

But they can only work if people continue to be vaccinated.

Owners of homes involved in fires extend thanks As the owners of the Fenchurch/Sunset West property that lost 2 rental homes last month, we can’t thank the firefighters enough for their incredibly swift response and thus ability to stop further devastation of neighbouring properties. When we got the word the next morning, some of the Firemen, especially Chief Eric Gregson and the RCMP staff were still there and obviously tired after a long night but working diligently to make sure all was safe so further investigations could proceed as needed.

Thank you also to Chris Nice, Princeton’s ESS Director, who was able to make sure both of our families were clothed and provided with food and shelter for the 72 hours provided by ESS. Allan Kovaltsenko’s help and ear were, and still are, invaluable. To other unsung heroes, thank you, especially the neighbour who kept banging on Daniel’s door to wake him up. How no one was injured is beyond belief and we know that both sets of tenants were more than appreciative.

To say how overwhelming the support was for the four affected families is an understatement but are we surprised? Not at all but we were at how quickly things got going. Thank you to everyone involved whether as setting relief programs up or supporting as contributors.

Princeton Rocks!

Pam and Larry Legault

P.S. We were also pleased to see that this “wake up call” made many realize how important it is to have Tenant’s Contents Insurance.

No, it won’t replace emotional items lost but think of the value of what you are wearing at this moment and will tomorrow. It adds up very quickly.”

On May 9, Canadians will be honouring members of the Canadian Forces, those Military and Civilians that have died in Afghanistan.

It should be an obligation for all Canadians to honour these individuals in some way on this special day.

Participating in special events and moments of silence is a good thing.

These extraordinary Canadians made the ultimate sacrifice in defence of principals we hold so dear in our Country. Canadians were in Afghanistan to help the people of that country to democratically self determine their future and move forward as a developing country.

Let’s show the families of these brave Canadians that we will always remember them.

On May 9, let’s fly our Canadian flag from our homes and places of business to clearly show our visible support for these very special Canadians.

Will there be cell service in Hedley, B.C. ?

To the Editor, Cell phone service in Hedley?

Yes it is coming. I started 10 years ago on this when I was an alternate Area “G” Director to Roger Mayer.

I was trying for toll free dialing in Area “G” – Village of Keremeos and Princeton and for cell phone service; now, after 10 years of work, waiting, lobbying, more waiting and opposition and now 90 per cent or more of Hedley residents are behind the project, the construction of the foundation for the antenna will begin this week.

Once the foundation is completed, crews will install the antenna mast and the radio equipment that needs to be mounted on the mast. There will be some additional electronic equipment installed inside the Telus building to connect the antenna to the rest of the Telus network, and to provide power to the antenna and remote telemetry to allow technicians in the National Network Operations Center to monitor the healthy, workings of the antenna system 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

So if anything goes wrong, if it is not working as it should, the center will know right away and dispatch a technician to investigate and repair any problems. It will take some time to install and test this electronic equipment. If all goes well we could have the antenna on-air and have cell phone at the end of June or first of July, I was told at a recent meeting.

I was also told that Telus is going to use the state of the art 4G wireless technology, Hedley will have faster and more

comprehensive 4G wireless service than currently exists across most of Europe, as less than 25 per cent of Europeans have access to 4G wireless service. So Hedley, we will be better connected than most of the European Union.

The 4G wireless service we will have in Hedley, will include the familiar voice and text message as of traditional cell phone service; but we will also have access to wireless internet service at speeds up to 21 megabits per second, the speed will vary with distance and the traffic loading on the antenna.

I think we will find the wireless internet service to be very impressive – fast.

We now have cell service coming, the toll free calling was/ is too expensive, as the cost would increase your phone bill too much and residents were not in favor of that. However Hedley has toll free calling to Penticton, that helps.

I was informed that Telus is going to offer a variety of “bundled” plans that include voice and data for cell phones.

Some of the wireless internet plans, I have been told, starts as low as $5 per month (for tablets) or $10 for a TELUS Smart Hub that uses WiFi to connect multiple PC’s or smartphones in our home to the internet through a single wireless data plan. Don’t forget one of the benefits of wireless internet is you can take it with you to the park or anywhere in town.

The Hedley antenna will not rely on any cell towers on the Highway, but will use a fiber optic cable from the Telus building and out to the network.

Hope this helps explain where we are at this project.

In 1973 Len and Jean Roberts, founders of the One Way Adventure Foundation, began with a simple booth at the Cloverdale Rodeo. They offered camping, cycling and canoeing expeditions. A probation officer liked their vision and on behalf of her Surrey office, negotiated with them to operate an extended program for youths on probation.

Soon probation officers were dropping their most recalcitrant adolescent clients off at the Roberts home. With these often rowdy youths assembling in their back yard each morning, anxious neighbours across the street peeked through slits in closed curtains, understandably concerned about their property and personal safety.

The Roberts took on workers and as their reputation for effectiveness increased, probation officers and social workers clamoured for more spaces to send youths.

Len quickly realized they would have to get some of these hard to manage adolescents into a more tranquil and secure setting. The Gold House and Colonial Inn properties on the outskirts of Hedley were derelict and available, and he was able to acquire them.

Just prior to the purchase, the Inn was seriously vandalized. One of the young vandals was placed in the Foundation’s Surrey program for other unlawful activities. Not realizing the Foundation had purchased the property, and wanting to establish a tough guy image, he foolishly boasted to Len about his part in the vandalism. Len immediately sent him to Hedley to help staff clean up and make repairs.

Eventually 4 programs operated out of the Hedley setting. The youths were assigned to work projects such as fence mending, building trails, cutting grass etc. In time there were food prep, mechanics, retail and riding courses. Rigorous back packing and canoeing expeditions, skiing, rock climbing and rappelling were added to the mix. Most students attended the Foundation school.

Needing space for programs and storage, Len managed over time to buy several empty, derelict buildings. Although not charismatic in the usual sense, he was able to explain his vision, purpose and methods in a manner that appealed to individuals eager to devote their lives to a significant purpose. The work was often arduous and the pay wasn’t great, but workers continued to come and stay. Several youths, after complet-

ing their program, were accepted into a one year training course for young workers hoping to be employed by the organization. Upon completion, the Foundation hired them.

Liking its highly effective approach combining work skills development, academics and wilderness expeditions, the government contracted for day programs in Penticton, Kelowna and Vernon.

Possibly it was the organization’s success and acquisitions of neglected buildings that aroused the ire of a small cadre of elderly men in Hedley. For several years they plotted to discredit it. In 1986 they complained to the two major Vancouver dailies that the OWAF was a cult.

Always searching for the dramatic, one reporter managed to make the allegation a front page story, based entirely on unproven speculation. A government inspection team, sombre faced men in dark suits, quickly descended on Hedley. They spent a week meticulously scrutinizing financial records and interviewing youths, staff and residents. In the end they completely exonerated the Foundation.

In the early 1990s, a new government switched its youth programs from a regional to a community model. Len chose not to go in this direction and reluctantly folded the organization.

Now, some 20 years later, newcomers to Hedley might be inclined to ask if the Foundation made a real difference. In response to this question, a resident said, “if it wasn’t for the Foundation, some of our larger structures would not have survived. They did major upgrades on neglected buildings.” The presence of young staff, usually carrying 2-way radios, helped seniors feel more secure. Also, there was no garbage collection and one program provided this service for staff, seniors and the disabled. Finding someone to replace a door or toilet, or fix a leaky tap was often difficult. The OWAF developed a service to fill this need. Certainly, the most important contribution lies in preparing youths to return to their community more willing and able to live productive, law abiding lives.

Their work completed, the Roberts have retired and live quietly in Princeton.

With the excitement of sighting less common species, the delight at hearing the familiar trills of meadowlarks and sparrows, and the pleasure of chatting with new and old friends alike, we all benefited from this engaging outing.

Our next field trip will be May 31, when Trish Reid will lead us on an easy walk around Alison Lake, where birds and wildflowers should be in abundance. Confirm with Trish at 250-295-6002 and meet at Billy’s at 9 a.m.

Biologist Jess Hobden will be our guest speaker, with a topic of “terrestrial and aquatic invasive species,” at this month’s meeting on Tuesday, May 13 at Riverside Centre, 7 p.m. Meetings and field trips are open to the public, so please join us for an enlightening and enjoyable time!

Princeton Posse - executive summary Message from the president The Princeton Posse has been a part of the KIJHL for 12 seasons. The KIJHL includes teams from communities throughout BC and Spokane, Washington.

Hockey is a part of Canadian culture particularly in climates where we enjoy four seasons. Our parents and our grandparents played hockey and we are good at it. Fast paced and physically demanding, junior hockey is a terrific spectator and participative sport for the entire family.

Princeton’s ice arena includes seating for 500, food and beverage concessions, and ample parking. Posse Hockey provides exciting on ice competition, supported by off ice contests and special events.

New sponsors and repeat sponsors are willing to support the team financially and otherwise. Boosting on game days, tail gate parties, puck toss, beer garden, merchandise sales, employee/customer/ vendor events are amongst the methods we will use to increase attendance and provide excellent value to both spectators and sponsors.

Coaching stability and expertise is supplied with the return of Bill Rotheisler and Mark McNaughton, and training and conditioning excellence is provided by Denis Thibert, Sean MacDonald and Pete MacDonald.

A strong core of volunteers backs the team up supplying talent and skill in the timekeeping and statistical functions, play by play webcasting, arena announcements, music, merchandise kiosk, ticket and door sales, and a number of other functions needed to ensure the ongoing success of the community team.

Last year a call to arms was made for

assistance, and eighteen people stepped up to help on our board of directors. The response from the community was overwhelming and ensured a successful year.

We worked together to promote hockey excellence, education and life skills on and off the ice. We made it!

In 2014/15 we will build upon the enthusiasm and support of last year.

Our plan for continuous improvement includes: • Continue to build a winning team through effective drafting, coaching, training and development • Build a tradition that players and participants can be proud of through a Wall of Fame and celebration of our achievements • Eight directors on the Board to set the strategy and finalize the business plan for 2014/15 – goal setting allows for focus and accountability, and helps share the load •A new chair to be elected by the Board from the Board of Directors • Posse Booster position – contract basis for one year. A capable and experienced marketer, willing to embrace the team and execute the plan for increased sponsorship and community participation with an emphasis on adding value!

• Utilize the energy and willingness of sponsors to build on and off ice entertainment and events • Establish a fresh image giving full value to sponsors within the rink • Learn from the best practices of other rinks and community groups This may be the most exciting year in the history of the Posse! Come on out and support the Princeton Posse at the Annual General Meeting on May 14, 2014, at Billy’s Family Restaurant at 7 p.m.

~ There’s excitement in the air Dean Johnston President - Princeton Posse

The Princeton Posse board recently held its final sit down in preparation for the AGM. In review the season was declared a success. Previous articles I focused on some of the feel good moments last season. But in reality, it comes down to financial performance and analytic review. Bus charters were curtailed, one bus was sold, the other almost paid off, ticket prices were lowered, player and mezzanine area was upgraded, past differences with coach Hladun were resolved, pregame tailgate dinners were offered… but what did it all translate into, what did it really mean?

In a detailed financial analysis, the season not only produced a marginally successful financial result but paved a path for future growth. The trends clearly indicated what worked. And clearly demonstrated what happened when energy ran out. Rather than be a negative the board focused on what could be – if a dependence on precious volunteer time could be eliminated as a weight on the organization’s shoulders.

What if once started, successful events or concepts could be built on rather than being reduced to a learning exercise for what might have been?

While change sometimes is embraced with apprehension and concern of the unknown, the board reviewed the data and fully endorsed a plan that would see the addition of a year round paid position.

Without constant attention to detail on a

sustained vision, the local team would never rise above the drained energy level of a dedicated few on weekends or weeks where they had the time to make a difference.

This year’s board unanimously chose a new direction and embraced the opportunity to see the Posse mature into a valued and proud community asset.

I share the optimism of those returning to the board that the Posse is a valued community asset. I also share the belief that staying the course is not sustainable. Life interrupts and volunteers wear down. Not a negative but a recognition that to realize any untapped potential, the Posse must accept the responsibility that to run any business, there must be a solid foundation and backbone.

The board can provide the foundation, but can no longer be a bottomless pit of doing it all. The backbone can no longer be… whenever someone has a few hours.

Follow through on ideas… a commitment to building on promotions that worked… year round presence in the community… fundraising that also adds value rather than coming across as a handout. And most important – building the atmosphere in the arena on game night in a manner that is relevant to the local community. And loud. And fun. And what Princeton often touches, just not often enough, or consistent enough. That is our vision. That is our belief of what is easily possible.

I invite any with a few moments to join us in presenting the new vision on May 14 at 7 p.m., at Billy’s Restaurant during the Annual General Meeting.

Cinco de Mayo is a day when people of various backgrounds gather to celebrate Mexican culture.

But no Cinco de Mayo celebration is complete without Mexican cuisine, which can even be enjoyed at the breakfast table. The following recipe for “Chilaquiles” from Joy Manning and Tara Mataraza Desmond’s “Almost Meatless” is a less traditional take on this beloved Mexican breakfast dish, but it’s delicious nonetheless.

Chilaquiles Serves 4 1 1 1 2 1

11/2 cups dried black beans, cooked, or 1 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed Chilaquiles 1 cup vegetable oil 8 6-inch corn tortillas 4 to 8 eggs 1 cup crumbled queso fresco or

Cotija cheese 1/2 cup crema or sour cream Salt

Red Sauce 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, drained medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and coarsely chopped small shallot, coarsely chopped medium cloves garlic, coarsely chopped tablespoon butter

CAPRICORN: One of your goals this week is to propel yourself further without pushing others too hard, Capricorn. You want to be successful but not at the expense of others.

AQUARIUS: Aquarius, focus on practical matters, such as your career goals, for the time being. Crucial decisions must be made and new relationships must be fostered.

PISCES: Pisces, trust your gut instincts on an issue that has been puzzling you this week. Your intuition might be your best asset.

ARIES: You are in a position of power this week, Aries. But this doesn’t mean you can impose your will onto someone else. Don’t try to take over any situation.

TAURUS: Taurus, someone might dredge up uncomfortable feelings, but you need to muddle through with a smile on your face. This is the case at home and at work.

GEMINI: Gemini, separate your personal and professional lives, particularily with regard to potentially contentious issues. You may want to keep mum for a while.

CANCER: Cancer, make your feelings known when something upsets you this week. Sharing these feelings will benefit you and your friends and colleagues now and in the future.

LEO: Leo, your feelings of restlessness this week can benefit from a creative outlet. Engage in an activity that keeps your hands and your mind busy, such as a craft or a home project.

VIRGO: Virgo, minimize any negative energy this week. Strive to be a source of optimism when others are looking at the glass as half empty.

It can work wonders.

LIBRA: Libra, after several days of working entirely off of adrenaline, you finally have some time to kick back and relax. This will help you recharge your internal battery.

SCORPIO: Your motivation is very strong this week, Scorpio. You can accomplish much more than you ever expected in a short period of time.

Pick your projects wisely.

SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, you are unable to convey some feelings to others, but your body language will go a long way toward getting your message across. Remain conscious of your actions.

FOR ENTERTAINMENT ONLY

To make the sauce, put the tomatoes, jalapeno, shallot, and garlic in a blender and process until smooth. Heat the butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Pour the blended mixture into the pan, stir in the black beans and simmer the sauce for 15 minutes.

To prepare the chilaquiles, heat the oil to 350 F in a deep pot or Dutch oven. Gently lower one or two tortillas into the hot oil with a pair of metal tongs and fry for about 1 minute on

each side, until golden. Remove from the oil and transfer to a cooling rack lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Prepare the eggs to order for each serving.

Place a tortilla on a plate, ladle about 1/4 cup of the sauce on top, sprinkle with cheese, and add a dollop of crema. Stack a second tortilla on top of that layer, creating another in the same manner. Top with an egg and serve. PC145123
