JoAnne Tomusiak has had enough. And she’s not going to take it any-

more.The 64-year-old Princeton woman

has spent two years watching her grandson die. He drifted away from church, stopped attending school, lost his job, experimented with marijuana, became addicted to cocaine and meth-amphetamine, sought and rejected treatment, and attempted suicide.

Monday he was in hospital in Penticton, while Tomusiak scrambled to have him assigned to a residential mental health treatment facility.

Her grandson is 14 years old.Following numerous meetings

with educators, health care providers and RCMP Tomsuiak has reached out through social media to area fami-lies and scheduled a meeting at the Princeton courthouse Wednesday May 13th at 11 a.m. with Mayor Frank Armitage and police to discuss drugs and youth in the community.

She described the mayor as “inter-ested and positive” after speaking with him on the phone. “I’m a bit nervous to tell you the truth. But I’ve had it. Something has got to be done. We need to get organized.”

Tomusiak expects considerable support at Wednesday’s meeting. “A lot of mothers said they would be there for sure for support,” she said.

“Everybody you talk to says the same thing: it’s been going on for years. This is the town I’m in. This is the town my family is in, and I want it cleaned up.”

Tomusiak said her grandson’s problems began shortly after her fam-ily moved here from Spruce Grove,

Alberta two years ago. In that com-munity he was a competitive soccer player and active in a church congre-gation but he quickly became bored in Princeton with the lack of recreational options.

He began using marijuana and skipping school and his problems worsened as he progressed to harder drugs.

“What they [drug dealers] are doing is giving it to the kids for free and then the kids want it.”

Tomusiak believes there are sever-al initiatives town council could spear-head to improve chances for families like own, including re-establishing at Citizens on Patrol Committee, imple-menting a youth curfew, and creating a drop-in center in the town’s core especially for young people.

While acknowledging that RCMP are short staffed, she said Princeton needs an officer dedicated to drug enforcement “to harass” drug dealers into leaving town.

Tomusiak says she has spoken to young people in Princeton who couch surf in homes where drugs are sold, and even some children whose parents sell and use drugs.

“When you go to the hospital and talk to the doctors you just shake your head. They say you have no idea how bad the problem is and to me it’s so sad because we are losing the youth of this town.”

Tomusiak is raising three other grandchildren alone since her hus-band died last year. “It is so hard, living with a child like this. That’s why I reached out for help and to support other parents because I know other parents are going through it and nobody comes forward.”

Grandma says “NO” to drugs

JoAnne Tomusiak says some children are given drugs for free, in order to get them addicted.

Spotlight StaffA motorcyclist received seri-

ous injuries when he lost con-trol of his bike on Princeton-Summerland Road last Thursday morning.

Monday morning the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure was pushing through implementation of a plan to improve safety and signage along the highway near Osprey and Chain Lakes.

The single rider suffered a bro-ken shoulder, and was transported to Princeton General Hospital.

According to Hayes Creek Fire Chief Rob Miller the corner where the accident occurred “is very poorly marked and a hazard for all travelling public.”

In an email sent to The Spotlight he said: “[It’s been]

reported and documented for a long time. [It’s] time to act and properly sign these driving haz-ards.”

Dave Swales, a spokesperson for the ministry, said chevrons to better delineate curves on the Princeton Summerland Road are now on order and he hopes to have them in place before sum-mer.

Additionally, signage warning of cyclists and pedestrians will be updated along the highway, and a review of the area’s regulatory speed, as well as curve testing will take place hopefully before Labor Day.

Currently the speed limit near Osprey Lake is 80 km/hour, but that may be lowered, said Swales. Curve advisory signs will also be posted after ministry team exam-

ines the curve inclinations.“We’re taking a hard look at

the ten kilometers in that area and the entire road right from the municipal Princeton bound-ary to Trout Main,” said Swales. He added the area is subject to logging traffic and overall traf-fic in the Osprey Lake area has increased in recent years.

Swales said accidents occur on that highway “with a little more frequency” than on other second-ary roads in the area.

“I would say speed relative to conditions is a big factor.”

Swales said the Ministry has been planning improvements for the Princeton Summerland road for some time. “It’s not specific to the accident, no. We were pushing for this before the accident.”

Motorcycle crashes on hazardous curve near Osprey Lake

A motorcyclist suffered a broken shoulder after losing control of his bike on the Princeton-Summeralnd Road last Thusday.

Crews worked throughout last week to demolish the former Overwaitea grocery store building on Bridge Street. Company officials were unavailable to comment on the future of the property.

VICTORIA – Albertans have always laughed about their long-standing reputation as a reckless, immature society.

The classic bumper sticker, now available as a T-shirt or coffee cup in several variations, states: “Please God, give us one more oil boom, we promise not to p--- it away this time.”

Now they’ve thrown out the government that finally tried to stop blowing money like a rough-neck fresh out of the bush. Jim Prentice had the gall to propose raising income taxes for high wage earners, doing away with former Alberta treasurer Stockwell Day’s signature flat tax.

In response, voters have abruptly replaced the 44-year Progressive Conservative dynasty with an upstart NDP that wants to tax the rich and corporations even more. Facing an oil slump, layoffs and a huge structural deficit in Alberta’s lavish public service, NDP premier-elect Rachel Notley is committed to a 50-per-cent increase in the minimum wage and another “review” of resource royalties.

One headline in a national paper summed it up: “Go home, Alberta. You’re drunk.”

In the sober days after the election, a few truths emerge. Alberta hasn’t been a fiscally conservative, small-government place for a long time. Among other things, it has ratcheted up teacher and nurse wages across the country.

Alberta is broke, again, and even the NDP is afraid to resort to a sales tax.

The minimum wage hike is a pet policy of Canada’s labour federations, which somehow remain convinced that poverty can be eliminated by state order.

On the positive side, Notley has promised to end corporate and union donations to political parties, as has already been done federally. B.C. should be next, but the gravy train of business donations is too tempting for our nominally Liberal government.

Here at the B.C. legislature, an NDP staffer passed out cans of Orange Crush to celebrate. NDP leader John Horgan pronounced

himself “ecstatic,” and hastened to assure report-ers that Notley is “as competent as she sounds.”

Notley now has to sort through a caucus that includes typical NDP place-holders, college students and union staff running in faint-hope constituencies. Soon after the result, the party pulled down its website platform and candidate biographies, as Notley began phoning energy companies to reassure them Alberta will be “A-OK” on her watch.

Horgan likes to describe the “capital flight” from new NDP governments as if it’s just a show put on by big business. Plummeting stock prices and relocation of corporate offices are all staged,

according to the party line, nothing to do with actual investment conditions created by NDP policies. This fiction is all Horgan dares to say publicly, because it’s what his party base devoutly believes.

Besides, they’re only branch offices of multinational oil com-panies like Shell, Horgan said. He used his favourite Tommy Douglas quote, about the bad news of a big oil company leaving. “The good news is, the oil is staying here.”

B.C.’s natural gas might be staying here too. Horgan insists he supports a natural gas export industry, but his party seems more concerned with an ascending Green Party, and an urban base that believes you can run a resource economy on windmills and solar panels.

Notley supports twinning the TransMountain pipeline, while Horgan continues to insist he has no opinion on the project Adrian Dix so memorably opposed.

The Alberta NDP has a steep learning curve ahead. The B.C. NDP has a couple of years to see if the appearance of a like-minded Alberta government is a boost for them, or a cautionary tale for voters.

There is never any shortage of worthy events and good causes to support – no matter what community you call home.

Shortages tend to be measured in volunteers and dollars – there are just never enough to go around.

As businesses and community-minded individuals consider their budgets for time and donations they should keep the Princeton Rotary Club high on the list.

It’s a timely reminder. The Rotary’s annual golf tournament is scheduled for June 6th and the club is looking for corporate sponsors as well as teams of golfers. Last year the event raised $9,000 to benefit community groups, projects and families.

Mark your calendars and consider how you could contribute. You don’t need a storefront or a large busi-ness to be a sponsor. There are many home-based and cottage industries that could fill the popular prize table and add to the day’s overall success. (It’s also an excel-lent way to promote one’s own products and standing in the community.)

Randy McLean at 250-295-5478 is the contact should you be able to help.

Rotary is committed to providing the town and area with $15,000 each year through donations to bursaries and scholarships, the ambassador program, Halloween family fun night, the crisis centre, Ridgewood Lodge, the Princeton Posse, Girl Guides and the local girls’ basketball program.

Support of a Rotary fundraiser allows one person to make a difference in many areas.

New requests for funds are always a phone call away. Last week Rotary donated $2,000 to Little Folks Nursery– almost half the amount needed for the school to purchase and install a new furnace and a further $2,000 to Vermilion Forks Elementary towards its new playground equipment.

The Rotary kitchen is now complete, with a grant of $3,000 from the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen. Another $3,000 grant, this time from the Town of Princeton, is anticipated and will go towards utensils to put the finishing touches on the project.

The other way you could benefit Rotary is through interest in membership. As treasurer Judy Short said in a message to The Spotlight last week: “Our club is very small and we hope to continue the help our com-munity…Community members helping the community we live in.”

Princeton Rotary meets Wednesday nights at the Heartland Restaurant and anyone interested in putting astrong arm behind this passionate team can call Judy at 250-295-0217.

It’s something to think about. - AD

The only thing worth remembering from Journalism 101 – and yes that it what the course was actually called – is this:

Always, always, always check the spelling of names.

Journalism 101 was taught by a grizzled veteran of the newspaper wars named Bob Trotter. It was a long time ago. There were typewriters on the desks in Journalism 101. While smoking in class wasn’t encouraged, it was permitted in the back row.

Professor Bob was fond of saying that if a reporter fails to ask for the correct spelling of John Smith it will for certain be spelled Jon Smythe. A bit of a frustrated thespian, he would storm across the front of the lecture hall beating his pocket protector. “I don’t care what you say about me! Just spell my name right!”

Bob never did give credit for that quote

to PT Barnum, attribution being something covered in Journalism 102.

It’s been many years since I’ve sat in a classroom – well, at least since the introduction of public smoking by laws – but obviously there is no longer a need to beat the question into young reporters’ thick skulls. “How do you spell your name?”

The standard baby name book on which parents so relied has been tossed onto the fire and thoroughly consumed by the flames of let’s-be-different. The only rule that can safely be applied to names is there is no rule. Asking isn’t an option. It’s enough to make any journalist of a certain age want to throw herself with abandon into the arms of the

nearest Jon Smythe.It makes covering a school

or minor sporting event physi-cally painful. You want to give up before you even get out of the car.

Alexzandre, Ayden, Braedyn, Cydnee and Jaxson – just your average, phonetically powered, tyke soccer line-up these days.

These children are commit-ted at birth to a lifetime of spelling out their names – not

just to hapless reporters but to teachers, camp counselors, prospective employers and form-filler-outers of all stripes. And they have to repeat them over and over, even to the same person. The western brain is not linguistically hardwired to process the spelling of Mykel on

the first round.Creativity is a wonderful thing and new

parents should consider saving it for deco-rating the nursery. Paint the baby’s room aubergine.

There is so much energy spent today in assigning unique or “alternative” names to infants, and then so much time thereafter spent making sure Zakkery and Izobel wear the same brand name clothes and play with the same brand name toys as the kids down the street.

Yes, yes, yes.Observing modern trends, clicking one’s

tongue in disapproval, and generally despair-ing for a world gone mad are sure signs of plain getting old.

But what do you want from a woman who used to smoke at her typewriter in college?

A plea for the return of the traditional baby name book

Recently I received an e-mail that thoroughly mystified me. It was a copy of a grim diatribe against a concept being floated by a couple of community advocates in Hedley. As reported in this paper last week, Angelique Wood and Kim English are asking local residents to think about establish-ing a Community Land Trust here. The concept was first instituted in India and has been successfully implemented in a number of North American communities.

Without providing any docu-mentation, the nay-sayer raises a number of complaints against Community Land Trusts and those associated with them. Since there is no reference to sources, we have to ask whether the complaints are based on facts or mere assump-tions. The writer says, for example, “Most CLT proponents espouse anti-development and collectivist ideologies generally detrimental to any community.” This is a pretty sweeping, all-encompassing asser-tion.

If there is a case to be made against Community Land Trusts, it needs to be based on solid research, not on skimpy information gleaned from a negative on-line article.

I do believe a community can

benefit from those who take the time to rigorously examine pro-posals like this. We need to know that the vision of the proponents is backed up by a thorough under-standing of the needs of the com-munity. Questions based on scru-pulous research will require the proponents to explain why their idea has merit. If the questioners and proponents are willing to enter into a productive dialogue, the idea may become even more beneficial.

We’ll never make progress if we automatically throw out ideas just because they are unfamiliar. If a new concept will benefit the peo-ple in our community, why would we let a “knee jerk” response turn us against it? In spite of this nay-sayer’s rather bitter opposi-tion, a Community Land Trust does appear to offer possibilities and, in my view, warrants careful consid-eration.

For English and Wood, their vision for a Community Land Trust appears to be a means to an end, not an end in itself. They speak of it in conjunction with a variety of services that would enable seniors to stay in this community. These services might include Meals on Wheels, the presence of a nurse on a part-time basis, more adequate transportation to medical facilities in Penticton, etc.

Margaret Skaar, is a longterm Hedley resident who contributes many volunteer hours to local groups. She would like to live here as long as possible. She says, “when moving here 25 years ago, we had a much better health care support service. This has been eroded over the years. If we want to age in Hedley, something has to be done to turn this around. To leave things as they are, we will be either a dying community or will be eaten up by a land grab with prices sky rocketing along with our taxes. We need to examine the potential of a Community Land Trust by assessing the needs of Hedley’s residents.”

A few negative agitators can put a stranglehold on an idea that could have positive potential for a com-munity. With their bold attacks it is possible some citizens might be persuaded to agree with them. Often they speak with a note of authority. Faced with their onslaught, the pro-ponents may become discouraged. The nay-sayer in this case conclud-ed with the words, “We therefore suggest that Angelique Wood and Kim English care for ‘the poor’ somewhere else.”

Very likely some individuals with a negative mind-set toward improving a community honestly believe they are right. In some

instances, if they are listened to respectfully, they become willing to work collaboratively with positive minded people.

When agitators are motivated by jealousy or vengefulness it is unlike-ly they will change their thinking. If they are not resisted, they have the potential to turn people against those who wish to improve condi-tions. There are times when it is not a good idea to “live and let live.”

There are times when a community should not remain silent.

I don’t know enough about Community Land Trusts to rec-ommend this as a good approach for Hedley. However, if we want constructive change that enables young families to buy homes here, and permits seniors to stay longer, we will need to listen to individu-als who have positive ideas and the will to make them a reality.

“If we want to age in Hedley, something has to be done”

To the editorI follow the letters pertaining to the

KVR (Trans Canada Trail) and write this with my opinion and some facts.

I personally take exception to the signs posted on the KVR/TCT. Green depicts cross country skiers, hikers, horseback rid-ers, cyclists and snowmobiles and in the red are motorcycles, ATVS and vehicles.

I am an ATV and hiking enthusiast along with many others and we use the trail in all seasons, all hours and in all kinds of weather conditions.

The signs on the trail are inaccurate and misleading. They are designed to dis-criminate and deter. It is very frustrating to everyone and makes users uncomfortable when paths cross.

The signs are not the law of the trail. I refer to http://www.tctrail.ca. Here it states “The foundation does not own or operate any trails, it is therefore not in a position to impose its policies on any trail anywhere in Canada.

The policy addresses three types of activities; core activities, accepted activi-ties and non-endorsed activities.

There are cyclists riding too fast for hikers, horse manure gets on hikers’ boots, ruts form in the path for cross country ski-ers and birds fly away from photographers etc. etc.

Complaints of ATVs ruining the trail are absurd. There are many bumps, rocks and other obstacles the great outdoors lays

in our path.More ATVs enjoy the KVR/TCT than

any other hobbyist. We don’t discriminate against other users and will never run a red line through anyone’s lifestyle or hobbies.

My opinion is simple: we can all find enjoyment on the KVR/TCT, respect oth-ers and work to make the trail an experi-ence for everyone to enjoy.

This comes from the above noted web-

site: The Trans Canada Trail foundation’s

policy is designed to contain the presence of ATVs and provide our trail builders with the attitude they require to build the trail in every province and territory.

Canada was built on compromise and the Trans Canada Trail will be no excep-tion.

Marv Carlson, Princeton

ATV riders have same trail rights as everyone else

ATV riders take exception to discrimination.

Andrea DeMeerJudy Short of the Princeton Rotary Club recently presented Little Folks Nursery School with a cheque for $2,000 towards the pur-chase of a new furnace. The school also received a donation last week from the Central and South Okanagan Similkameen United Way for $2,000. The school’s new furnace will cost approximately $4,900.

Illegal dumping on Crown land a vicious cycleTara Bowie

Spotlight StaffTires, rusty cars, old

mattresses and piles of bent metal are among items Lydia Sawicki has found while walk-ing trails throughout the area – and she’s fed up.

The Hedley resident said since moving to the Similkameen Valley five years ago she and others have spent hundreds of hours cleaning up after those that still think it’s their right to dump gar-bage on Crown land.

“It’s gotten better. You don’t see people throwing away large items like you used to but it’s disheartening. It’s like we clean up an area and then someone

decides to dump stuff all over again. And you have to clean it up or it just encourages others to dump stuff,” she said.

Over the years local volunteers cleared out more than 100 tires up along 20 Mile Creek behind Hedley. They also disposed of 20 dirty mattresses, washing machines, abandoned furniture and ditched vehicles.

Although fines of up to $2,500 have been handed out to illegal dumpers in the area over the last few years it hasn’t dissuaded every-one.

Just a few weeks ago Sawicki spotted new piles of metal and shop

waste including discard-ed toxic containers.

She’s organized vol-unteers to clean it up.

Part of the problem is that the area near Hedley still has leftover mine waste that has not been cleaned up.

Sawicki along with a few others repurposed cyanide barrel lids to make no dumping signs. Some signs have been torn down while others have been shot at.

“That makes some people think that because the mine didn’t clean their stuff up it’s okay for them to dump there,” she said. “There’s just a few people that bloody well won’t stop doing it.”

She gathers as many volunteers as possible of all ages to help cleanup so hopefully that will create a cultural shift around dumping.

“If I could talk to these people I would say there are lasting conse-quences. They think it’s just a point of unload-ing their truck and it’s gone but there are con-sequences for the short and long term for the wildlife and the people that live here,” she said.

In addition to destroying the natural beauty of the region illegal dumping also threatens the health of humans, wildlife and the environment.

Animals and insects

that frequent dump sites can cause disease that pose a threat to humans and their own animals.

Illegal dumping also increases the risk of fire.

Because of the extremely dry climate

fires can be caused by broken glass. Illegal dump fires are difficult to extinguish and can release harmful fumes into the atmosphere.

The public plays a critical role in identify-

ing and reporting illegal dumpsites and dump-ing incidents. To report illegal dumping, please call 1-866-566-3867 or e-mail [email protected].

Marlee RiceStudents at John Allison School recently held an art and craft sale - “Arts for Others”– to raise money to support a foster child in Cambodia. The school’s sponsor child is a grade one student, Chanteoun Chhean. Students and parents taking part included Jose Requier, Amy Requier, Ben Kaiser, Conrad Sill, Owen Kaiser, Evan Roccamatisi and Ellie Reavier.

Since moving to the Similkameen Valley five years ago Lydia Sawicki has spent hundreds of hours – along with other volunteers – cleaning up garbage.

Kids take over town for Amazing Literacy RaceAndrea DeMeerSpotlight Staff

Is food really expensive?How do you read a treasure map?What are some of the ways to con-

serve electricity and water?And just how do they get that tuna

fish in a can anyways?Those are some of the questions

local elementary students tackled last Thursday during the Amazing Literacy Race.

The “race” took 110 children through a variety of stations and chal-lenges that required using everything from brain power to physical fitness and life skills.

“Some people think literacy is just reading and writing,” said Dierra Maynard, outreach co-ordinator for Princeton Leaders for Literacy. “We want the kids to start thinking about how important learning is in every part of life.”

For example at Valley First Credit Union, students were required to build a monthly budget, using $1500 imagi-nary dollars, and make decisions about

where they would live, what kind of entertainment they might need, and whether they would eat at restaurants or prepare food from the grocery store.

Valley First also donated $20 to each of the school’s ten teams, and then the students had to spend that money wisely at Coopers’, with all the food purchased being donated to the food bank.

At the Princeton Skills Centre, the children participated in an exercise based on the television show “How is It Made”, and had to identify the various jobs involved in producing a can of tuna.

The Amazing Literacy Race is Maynard’s brainchild, and this was the program’s third successful year. “I just love seeing the kids learning things in a new way and realizing that literacy is really life. The more you know the better you will get through life and the more successful you will be.”

Sponsors for the event included Valley First, Ace Hardware, Fortis BC and Coopers.

Andrea DeMeerSometimes literacy is just knowing how to have fun. AJ Hamilton, Scott Meston, Jacob Vesper and Hawk Bruneau demontrated good marks on that during lunch break at the Amazing Literacy Race.

Andrea DeMeerTrenton Vegara and Silas Cathro figured out how to get the most out of $20 at the grocery store during the Amazing Literacy Race.

School band has blast in Seattle

Andrea DeMeerThe intermediate-senior student band from Princeton recently returned from a fun-filled four days in Seattle, Washington. Seventeen of the 21 band members took part in the trip, which included visits to Space Needle, a professional baseball game and the Science Centre. The band also had the opportunity to play for and be coached by a professional instructor, and to perform both in a sound studio and for a live audience. Band members fundraised for the outing all year, volunteering at the local Halloween Family Fun Night, selling poinsettias and candles, and cleaning up property at Weyerhaueser.

DON’T MISS OUT!

It’s a Fun Run with a dash of colour. On May 23, the PSS Leadership class will be hosting a Paint Run. Never heard of a Paint Run? No problem. It works just like an ordinary Fun Run (or walk), except at stations along the way, volunteers will throw paint at you.

Why would they do such a thing? So that they can “Colour You Healthy.” The Princeton Paint Run is a fund-raising event done in support of the Princeton Health Care Sustainability Society.

By the end of the race, which starts at 9:30 am on May 23, everyone should be very colourful and exhaust-ed. Make sure you wear a white t-shirt so that the colours stand out.

If the paint thing isn’t your cup

of tea, you can opt out and still par-ticipate in the run. But since the paint being used is powdered natural paint, it’s all in good fun.

This 5 km run will start at PSS and follow the Airport Road Run that the PE students know all too well.

You can register as an individual for $25, or as part of a team of four for $100, with all proceeds going to the Princeton Health Care Sustainability Society.

Gather a team of friends or family, more is always merrier, and help the PSS Leadership class support Health Care in Princeton by running through a paint rainbow on Saturday, May 23 in the Colour Me Healthy Princeton Paint Run.

The employees at Weyerhaeuser Princeton showed their community spirit recently, by donating almost 9000 diapers to the Princeton Crisis Center, as part of the company dia-per drive. “ I am very proud of our employees who generously donated to a very worthy cause,” said mill man-ager Jeff Larsen. “This donation will benefit families and babies in need in our community, which is particularly

gratifying”. While donations came in from all departments in the mill and forestlands, one team stood out from the rest donating over 120 diapers per person from the team.

“ Planer A shift lead by Tom Price, really went above and beyond”, said Larsen. “They were the hands down winner, and have chosen a special catered dinner as a team award for their outstanding contribution”.

Princeton’s Chamber of Commerce will discuss the future of its build-ing and property on Highway 3 at its annual general meeting May 28th.

“This is an opportunity for the Chamber to revitalize and become the voice for business in Princeton,” said a chamber press release.

Changes are anticipated as the Visitor’s Centre, previously operated by the chamber with funding from the municipality, has moved to Bridge Street.

The meeting takes place at 6 p.m. and the board is also looking for new directors.

Princeton has seen its last “free dump days” at the local landfill site.

At a recent meeting council voted to cancel free dump days and instead offer property owners two free landfill stickers each year. Each sticker entitles the user to dispose of up to 500 kg of garbage at no cost.

The move was proposed to council by staff as a means of avoiding long line ups on free dump days.

Free stickers will be issued with tax receipts. Area H residents can pick up their free stickers with their regular landfill stickers.

Council closes lid on dump days

Chamber ready for next steps

Training in palliative care and increased awareness of the recently formed hospice society are priorities for the coming year, according to the Princeton and District Hopsice Palliative Care Society’s AGM report.

The society held its first annual gen-eral meeting March 31, and elected a board. Officers and directors are: June Hope, John Akerley, Carol Clarke, Trisha Akerley, Agnes Newman, Lynn Boyd and Susan Hamilton.

Hospice society focusing on training

Johanna Nott was the very happy winner of two tickets to take in Cirque Du Soleil this week at the South Okanagan Events Centre, courtesy of The Similkameen Spotlight. Isabelle Gibson also received two free tickets in the paper’s draw.

SINCLAIR,ELEANOR LAURA

CHRISTINASeptember 24, 1926

to May 10, 2015It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother, grand-mother and great-grand-mother. Eleanor’s mem-ory will be cherished by her daughters; Barbara Ryan (James Dyck) of

Princeton, Noreen Ford (Mervin) of Hum-bolt, Saskatchewan and her son Earl Sinclair (Sandi) of Kamloops, fi ve grand children, nine great-grandchildren, as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.Eleanor was born in a farmhouse located in Deep Creek, outside Armstrong British Colum-bia on September 24, 1926 to Th eophilus and Laura Jones. Eleanor is predeceased by her two brothers; Bill and Gordon Jones and her loving husband for 66 1/2 years, John Sinclair.Eleanor was raised on a small farm in Deep Creek near Armstrong BC and went to school in Cherryville and Armstrong until graduation. Eleanor met John while living with the Coldi-cot family while attending high school. John was working for Coldicot’s as a logger and took interest in Eleanor and the rest is history. John bought a dairy farm in Deep Creek and shortly aft er, on August 21, 1946 John married Eleanor Jones. Eleanor was a hard worker and helped work the farm while John was studying for his exams to become a Forester. Th ey had three chil-dren, 2 daughters and a son. Eleanor and John moved their family to Princeton in 1960. Elea-nor worked as the cook for the Forestry Suppres-sion Crew for three summers as well as Custodi-an Guard for the RCMP for an amazing 36 years. Eleanor enjoyed knitting, needle work, playing cards, playing pool, and most of all being around her family and grandchildren. Eleanor found time to be very active in her community. Eleanor volunteered many hours as a Brownie and Girl Guide Leader, 4-H Leader, Ladies Auxiliary to the legion (35 years) where she held most every position, Secretary for the Fall Fair and Recre-ation Association and President for the Prince-ton Seniors’ Drop In Society. Eleanor received Outstanding Community Service Award in 1993 and also received the Citizen of the Year in 1995 and is a lifetime member of both the Legion La-dies Auxiliary and Branch #30 of the Senior Cit-izens. Eleanor was the person you could always count on to volunteer her time and she got the job done.Eleanor will be greatly missed by her family and all those who knew her. In lieu of fl owers, a do-nation to the Princeton Senior Drop In Society, Box 1776, Princeton, BC V0X 1W0, would be appreciated.

A Celebration of Life will be held on May 19th, at the Seniors’ centre in

Princeton, 162 Angela Avenue at 1:00 pmCondolences can also be sent to the family

by visiting www.Hansonsfuneral.ca.
