LITERACY LOOKS FOR FUNDING
Shauna Hassell attended the November 15 Town Council meeting to update Council on the Leaders for Literacy program. She described computer classes, reading intervention programs, and three six-week programs that had a high level of success. A new program will begin in January. The Family Reading Circle for kindergarten to Grade 3 has just started its second year. These programs have been funded by a Legacy Now grant and a grant from the Ministry of Education. Hassell told Town Council children in the Kindergarten to Grade 3 level are learning to read, but after Grade 3, they are reading to learn. This is why it is so important to teach children to read before Grade 4. Hassell asked Council if the Town would be able to fund programs in the future. Council could make no promises except to consider it in budget discussions. Mayor Randy McLean praised the literacy programs, saying how good it is to have community programs based on people helping people.
YOUTH TALK ABOUT PASTRY
Shauna Hassell and a delegation of young people attended the November 15 Town Council meeting to report on what PASTRY is doing. PASTRY is an acronym for Princeton Action Strategy to Reactivate Youth. This project involves students in healthy living and healthy activities events with the support of a coordinator they choose. The students have had some success. They have run a dance and a bowling evening, and are making videos which can be viewed on YouTube under Pastry Project. The students involve themselves in community activities, and have a support contact person from Interior Health who provides sex education, which the students want but is not available on their curriculum. They want to start a student centre at the school, and have been allocated a space. They would like to start a youth centre, first at the school, then perhaps in the community. The PASTRY Project has been in operation for 18 months. Mayor Randy McLean advised them that past support by Town Council had created a youth centre but it was not a success. He asked them what would make it a success. The student delegation said the previous youth centre had relied on volunteer supervision, but what is needed is a person paid to do the job. Members of Town Council congratulated the group on their ability to grow and improve. Mayor McLean encouraged them to continue, describing them as a “positive” group.

DRAMA CLASS HONOURS VETS
by Des Cosman
Wednesday November 10th PSS Drama students presented the annual Remembrance Day assembly. This assembly was to be like no other before it. After years of hearing that students found the Remembrance Day assembly boring, Karla Freason led her grade 9 to 12 Drama class to prove otherwise. The Drama class performed a heart felt two scene act. In the first scene, a soldier was lost on the front lines and his commander is sent home to report the news to the lost soldiers family. The commander (Bobby Gibb) gave a speech outlining the emotional hardship these men sent to deliver the news must of felt. In scene two a telegram is delivered to a family of three. This family was now left without a father and husband. The last line in the play whispered by the youngest daughter (Hillary) “Mommy what’s wrong? Where’s Daddy?” echoed through the ears of teary observers. This two scene performance by PSS students reminded their peers that Remembrance Day has a purpose and is not just a boring assembly.
COMMITTEE LOOKS FOR HOSPITAL STAFF
Councillor Marilyn Harkness reported to Town Council on November 1 that the Health Recruitment Committee is still at work. They have received more money for marketing, which will assist in their efforts to recruit one more physician for Princeton. Some changes are needed at the hospital, and fund raising will be necessary. Currently, part-time staff are sleeping in the doctor’s room, and creating sleeping quarters in the basement is under consideration. More examination rooms and a better waiting room set-up is needed. This will require funding not available from government. On-call staffing is covered up to New Year’s Day, and there is still time to ensure staffing for that period.
COUNCIL DISCUSSES TOWN WEBSITE
At the November 1 Town Council meeting, Council was asked whether something could be done to improve the Town website. Links are needed on the website to provide people with the opportunity to go to other local websites. The Town website needs updating, Council was told. Town Council said the problem is the need for somebody on staff to maintain the website. Contracting somebody to do it has been costly and not entirely satisfactory. Town Administrator Patrick Robins stated there is a program to go into place to assist the Town in expanding what the Town website covers. This is from a purely municipal business standpoint. Councillor Marilyn Harkness said an updated website with links would assist in recruiting hospital and other health care staff. Town Council will look into it, but is not making any promises.

LOST LOCAL HUNTER FOUND
The Princeton RCMP and several Search and Rescue teams continued their third day of search efforts in the Princeton Snowpatch Mountain area Thursday morning November 5th, locating the body of 66-year old Allen Murray at around 11:30 AM. “Mr. Murray’s body was discovered approximately half a kilometre from where his vehicle was located. Allen Murray was found by a Search and Rescue dog team at around 11:30 AM. Allen’s family was at the search command centre, and received the tragic news relayed to them by the team on site. All those involved in the search effort including the RCMP, PEP volunteer aircraft personnel, SAR members and community of Princeton continue to support the Murray family and have offered their condolences to them,” stated RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk. The search effort for the 66-year old Princeton man began Tuesday, November 2nd when family reported him missing, after he failed to return from a one day hunting excursion on Monday. The Princeton RCMP immediately activated an extensive search with PEP volunteer air assets, RCMP helicopter, RCMP Police Dog Services and six area volunteer Search and Rescue teams from the Southern and Central Interior area, including SAR teams from Princeton, Penticton, Keremeos, Oliver/Osoyoos, Merritt, Logan Lake and Kamloops. “These searches are emotionally difficult for the community, volunteers and professional emergency personnel alike. In this case we did have some heightened hope shortly after the search began when we received a more concentrated location reported by a backcountry cyclist on a Tuesday. It was an outcome that we were all hoping would not materialize. Given the weather conditions seen in the area at this time of year, searchers and family alike knew that as the search went into it's third day that there was a strong likelihood that the effort was transitioning into a recovery effort. Search volunteers and local RCMP remained committed to completing as thorough a search as possible in efforts to locate Mr. Murray. The third day of the search saw a review of areas already covered in the near vicinity of the
truck based on the information of where Allen Murray was last seen. Mr. Murray was recovered in thickly forested area by a SAR tracking dog some 500 metres from his truck. The BC Coroners Service and the Princeton RCMP continue their investigation into Mr. Murray’s death,” added Cpl Dan Moskaluk.
COUNCIL HEARS CULTURAL SURVEY REPORT
Arts Council member Vicky Jones gave Town Council a full report November 1 on the results of the Cultural Plan survey to date. The aim of the cultural plan is to develop stronger and more sustainable
arts, cultural and heritage activity in Princeton area. The goal of the plan is to develop a framework for future cultural development of existing and new cultural assets, defining the town’s cultural identity, increasing arts and cultural representation downtown, increasing the economic impact of individual artists, making the most of key cultural assets, and enhancing the town’s appeal to both residents and visitors. More than 130 residents completed and returned the surveys. The survey was distributed to people of all ages and economic levels. Seventy percent of those responding were female, and almost 60 percent over age 55. Approximately 50 percent felt it is important to have arts, culture and heritage opportunities available in Princeton. Nearly 80 percent said arts and culture helped attract residents to Princeton and keep them here. Thirty-five percent said they attend a cultural event three to five times a year, the favourite activities involving theatre and music. Approximately 58 percent take part in an artistic activity and consider themselves artists. Most respondents felt the preservation of heritage homes, buildings and memories of Princeton’s pioneers is important. Sixty-one percent felt there should be one organization responsible for the coordination and/or promotion of the arts in the Princeton area. The next step in creating the Cultural Plan is to assess the information gathered from the community to establish the format for the focus group session on November 23 at Riverside Centre. The final report will be given in March.

TRAFFIC STOP YIELDS COKE
Princeton RCMP report an interesting result from a traffic stop on Highway 3 during the evening of October 21st. “A Vehicle stop was conducted when a Princeton RCMP officer noticed that the insurance had expired on a vehicle travelling on Highway 3,” states Princeton Detachment Sgt. Dave Clare. “Subsequent investigation lead to the seizure of crack cocaine and the arrest of a 45-year old male from Oliver/Osoyoos.” While the quantity has not been released, Clare referred to the seizure as being “a significant amount of cocaine.” Charges are pending for possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. RCMP continue their investigation into the incident.
FALL FAIR APPLAUDS WORKER
Members of the Fall Fair Association met October 26 to prepare for the annual general meeting on November 23. There were a number of items of business to review, and a presentation. Terry Inglis, who was unable to attend the annual volunteer appreciation dinner, attended the Fall Fair meeting and received a presentation delayed due to his illness. Lyn Melnechenko presented him with a framed drawing from all of the user groups at the exhibition facility in appreciation for his dedicated volunteer work during the past few years. The Fall Fair received a letter from Princeton Garden Club asking that the date of the fair go back to the second weekend in September. Prior discussions with the Rodeo Club president had suggested the same date to combine the fair with the bull riding finals. The change of date is under consideration. The Lions Club no longer has storage facilities at its former location. Goods for the annual auction will be stored in the Junior Fair building at the exhibition grounds until the auction date. John Bey reported on the use of the grounds by the Gisborne Group, and on renting the tent and chairs for the Copper Mountain mine open house on November 18. He added that the heritage building will not be paved this year due to the high cost quoted to him by the paving company.
