Did you know that there is an item in your kitchen consid-ered today to be a “common staple” that once was worth its weight in gold?
Peppercorns, during the Middle Ages, were used as payment for rent, debts and were considered to be one of five essential luxuries, including African ivory, Chinese silk, German amber and Arabian incense in which foreign trade with the Roman Empire was based upon.
Pepper is also known for it’s medicinal and health benefits. World-wide, it is prized as a flavour enhancer and still
accounts for one-fourth of the worlds spice trade.
Local entrepreneur, Ed Vermette, is learning just how val-ued this spice really is.
Ed was given a bag of bourbon-smoked peppercorns to try last year and as the old saying goes….the rest is history.
“I couldn’t really taste a big difference and I thought I could do better,” explained Vermette. “So I went out into my back yard in the middle of winter with my Little Chief Smoker…and I smoked for days and days until I got it. Gave it out to my family and friends and they loved it.” He’s been experimenting and giving out samples since November of 2013.
The “it” of which he speaks is a full-flavoured peppercorn. An idea born of three facets of cooking that many people use…pepper, smoke and alcohol.

We risk losing Canadian Medicare as we know it.
Right now, there’s a legal attack before the courts that could turn Canada’s Medicare system into a US-style system.
The attack is driven by Dr. Brian Day, owner of the Vancouver-based Cambie Surgery Centre, a for-profit surgical clinic known for unlawfully billing for medically-necessary care.
The case is being called the most significant constitutional challenge in Canadian history. And it’s going to trial in BC Supreme Court in 2014.
This challenge aims to do away with Medicare in Canada by striking down provincial health legislation that limits the for-profit delivery of medically necessary services, claiming that these rules violate the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
What does this mean for me and my family? If Dr. Day wins this case, we’ll lose the public
health care system that we all rely on. Expensive private insurance will become the
new norm, like in the United States where it costs the average family $16,000 a year. Most bank-ruptcies in the US are due to medical bills – we don’t want to see a system in Canada where we risk losing our homes or go deep in debt when we get sick or injured.
Public wait times will also become longer, as doctors and nurses are drained from the public system to the for-profit system.
Why it’s a national issue affecting everyone in Canada
Even though the case is in the BC Supreme Court, it threatens health care across Canada. Because of the constitutional nature of the case, if Dr. Day wins the challenge, the laws that pro-tect our public health care system will crumble across the country.
We have to make sure Dr. Day is defeated. In contrast to the aims of these for-profit clinics owners, Canadians don’t want US-style health care. Poll after poll show that the public favours investment and innovation in public health care to improve the system for everyone, not the expansion of for-profit health care that benefits only a very wealthy elite.
Who’s fighting for our public health care sys-tem?
The BC Health Coalition and Canadian Doctors for Medicare are interveners in this case. This means that we are participating directly in the litigation, and we’ll be standing up for Medicare in court.
But we know that our participation in the case alone can’t ensure this legal attack is defeated. It’s going to take a huge public outcry to save Canadian Medicare. It’s going to take talking to our governments, our local newspapers, and our family and friends to make very clear: we want a public health care system that works for all Canadians and this legal attack must be defeated. This is going to be a big challenge, but we know that together we can win this case and ensure that Medicare is here for generations to come.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is offer-ing teachers an undisclosed signing bonus and reducing its proposed contract length from 10 years to six.
Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the details of the offer and the amount of the proposed bonus will be disclosed Friday when it is presented to the B.C. Teachers’ Federation by Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the prov-ince’s 60 school districts.
There was no indication of a change to Cameron’s latest general wage proposal, a 6.5 percent increase over six years. BCTF president Jim Iker termed that a “lowball offer” that B.C.’s 40,000 teachers would be unlikely to accept.
Fassbender and Cameron have maintained that the government’s wage offer is consis-tent with settlements with other public sector employee groups.
The new term length is a small modification of the earlier proposal, which was for a 10-year deal with wage negotiations to resume for the final four years. That proposal would have meant the BCTF couldn’t strike after six years if they didn’t accept the wage extension, because they would still be under contract.
Iker said Thursday the 10-year term was never workable, and after 16 months of Premier Christy Clark’s promises, he’s pleased to see it off the table.
“The government has put various offers on the table, but we’ve also been listening to the feedback,” Fassbender said.
“The premier and I have been talking and we are absolutely committed to long-term stabil-ity, to a decade of labour peace in our school system.”
The latest BCTF proposal is for a four-year term with wage and cost of living increases Iker estimates at 13.25 percent over the term.
Unions representing 47,000 health care work-ers announced Thursday they are recommend-ing their members accept a five-year settle-ment that includes a 5.5 percent wage increase. Workers in hospitals, residential care facilities, emergency health services and supply and logis-tics will begin voting on the settlement next week.
The BCTF began work-to-rule action in April, refusing supervision outside classrooms and communication with school management. A March strike vote gives the BCTF a mandate to begin rotating strikes at any time.

Rosemary Doughty, a local who has tried the peppercorns praised, “It is excellent, you can grind it easily… rub it on steak. The smokey bourbon flavour brings anything you put it on to life - it’s exceptional.”
Doughty has tried the Whiskey Jack Black Gourmet Peppercorns. It’s really delicious - If you love to cook you’re going to love this prod-uct,” she stated.
Another of Vermette’s projects brought him and his now business partner together.
Brent McClelland had heard about Ed Vermette and his projects and decided to give him a call to ask about apple crates, Ed’s current project.
“He came to the house,” said Vermette, “I had a bunch of my other products out with the apple crates. He looked in one of the crates and saw one of my bags -(containing black peppercorns) First thing he did was grab one of the bags. He opened it and smelled it, he did that approximately 40 times…couldn’t stop smelling it. Fell in love with the product and said it was going to be a best seller.”
After a bit of conversation between the two, McClelland left and told Veremtte he would con-tact him about the crates.
The next day, he returned but did not want to talk about the crates—he wanted to talk pepper.
McClelland had a few questions for Vermette and they discussed some solutions to make things work better (i.e. shorten time for production) as McClelland has a commercial kitchen at Doug’s Homestead.
“I don’t know if it was 15 minutes and the words out of his mouth were something about a partnership — my hand went out and we shook immediately,” said Vermette.
the smoking gun pepper co., was born and the official product release took place on May 16.
Manufacturing and the first selling point takes place right at Doug’s Homestead - home of the famous pepperoni, beef, jerky and gourmet meats shop located at 6245 Hwy 3, between Princeton and Hedley.
“We also have a place we’ll be selling it out of in Port Moody, looks like a place in Abbotsford and that’s just the beginning,” McClelland announced.
“I probably wouldn’t have taken it anywhere except local restaurants and markets if I hadn’t
met Brent and Linette,” adds Vermette, “Their enthusiasm and partnership drives me to want to see it succeed.”
Linette McClelland is the muscle in the part-nership, say the two men. She is the bookkeeper, the boss and communicator and keeps them organized.
Using their existing connections, Doug’s Homestead contacts, chefs, restaurants and peo-ple they know in general, the product is get-ting out into the public. Word-of-mouth and Facebook are getting it out there even further. A website is also currently under construction.
Local photographer, Eva Pratico was enlisted to take marketing photos for the company. As she was known by Brent and family (she had done family portraits for them) they felt she was right for the job. Pratico captured the essence of the company perfectly and the logo was created.
Vermette proclaims, “What we think we have is a product that nobody else has or has done. It’s unique in what we’re doing…the recipe and process are the whole thing, and thats about all we can say about the product.”
“There is other pepper companies that do a similar product,” chimed in McClelland, “Some blend different seasonings, others re-smoke pep-percorns—we’ve figured out to how get the whis-ky, bourbon and the wine into the actual pep-percorn.”
Three flavours are available now; Whiskey Jack, From the Vines (Shiraz) and Yo Ho Ho Rum. There are more on the way but the partners are not letting them out just yet. “We’re not tell-ing, it’s a trade secret,” they teased.
“There are endless possibilities for what we can do…. we don’t have to stop,” beamed Vermette.
“Things are going up,” says McClelland. Vermette adds, “Yes, up. We’re hoping for a long- term thing and lot of growth. This is a perfect connection and it’s exciting.”
Stop in at Doug’s Homestead for a gourmet meat treat and to get your choice of smoking gun peppercorns. They are open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., daily.
To keep up with the smoking gun pepper co., like them on Facebook: https://www.face-book.com/pages/The-Smoking-Gun-Pepper-Co/646162622141845 and watch for the web-site—coming soon.

VICTORIA – The B.C. School Trustees’ Association is calling for a mandatory high school course on the history of residential schools set up to assimilate aboriginal children into European culture.
Trustees propose a 25-hour course required for all graduating stu-dents, using interviews with residential school survivors, presentations by aboriginal leaders and discussion of current events.
This would build on aboriginal courses already in offered in B.C. schools, and a public education effort that began with Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s 2008 apology and compensation for Canada’s resi-dential school policy.
B.C. Teachers’ Federation vice-president Glen Hansman gave a speech on the need for mandatory education to a 2012 teacher conference. He said cur-rent aboriginal culture courses are poorly attended, and went on to denounce a school system he said is still based on “colonialism” and a “settler construct” of history.
“We need to acknowledge that racism is the norm in public schools – still today,” Hansman said.
Is it really? He also claimed that the purpose and legacy of the residential schools have been “deliberately hidden” from school curriculum.
In lieu of evidence, Hansman recounted old anec-dotes of American-style stereotyping from his own schooling in Ontario. But mostly he demanded social engineering in schools that must of course include more funding, more teacher professional development time and an affirmative action program to recruit more aboriginal teachers.
Do Hansman’s allegations reflect the kind of attitude that would lead to truth and reconciliation? Or are they signs of another unfor-tunate legacy, that of the victim studies mentality that permeates our universities?
Here’s a suggestion for this mandatory course. Students could spend a couple of hours on one of the definitive works of B.C. aboriginal history, A Stó:lo Coast Salish Historical Atlas. A long-term project of the Stól:lo Nation, the atlas has meticulously documented chapters on European contact and residential schools, and others that
piece together oral histories and what few written records there are of B.C. First Nations life at the time of European contact.
A journal kept at Fort Langley from 1827 to 1830 documents some of the raids between aboriginal communities on the Fraser River and Vancouver Island, corroborating elders’ accounts. During those three years, Cowichan men attacked the Chilliwack Stó:lo com-munity four times. In the same period, the journal records 30 inci-dents of inter-community violence, some reaching down to present-day Washington state.
Atlas editor Keith Thor Carlson summarized the research this way: “Viewed from the perspective of the aggressor, raids and attacks appear to have been motivated primarily by a desire to obtain quick wealth (in the form of slaves and property such as dried and smoked salmon) or to exact revenge for previous insults.”
Archaeological study of stone fortifications and weapons at fishing sites in the Fraser Canyon traces a history of inter-community violence back at least 3,000 years.
Historians characterize some of this as warfare. British colonial authorities had some “settler con-structs” about these activities: they saw them as assault, robbery, abduction and murder as well as slavery.
This is the seldom-discussed backdrop for the European settle-ment of British Columbia, the imposition of British law and the later establishment of church-run residential schools.
None of this is to excuse the forced removal of aboriginal children from their families, the horrendous abuse and neglect or the multi-generational damage to a culture already weakened by waves of smallpox. This 1928 plan to fix what was called the “Indian problem” deserves to be understood by everyone.
But glossing over historical context and presenting a guilt trip to students would serve no one well.

B.C.’s new recycling rules a costly tax on
consumers
BC ViewsTOM FLETCHER
SpotlightOPINION
Environment Minister Mary Polak recently announced that many small businesses will be exempt from onerous new recycling rules set to come into effect this May.
While it’s always better to have fewer businesses affected by dumb rules, the minister’s announcement doesn’t change the fact that the new recycling plan delivers no demonstrated environmental benefit while increasing prices to consumers and costs to the many businesses of all sizes that will still be affected.
The government’s announcement is the policy equivalent of putting lipstick on a pig.
The province’s new approach to recycling should be abandoned. Here are 10 reasons why:
1) The new recycling rules add enormous costs to businesses and put a hidden tax on consumers for no environmental benefit over our existing (and very functional) blue-box programs. The new program is estimated to cost more than $100 million just to run. This does not include the huge cost of compliance.
2) The new recycling plan grants monopoly tax-ing and regulating power to an arms-length group (MultiMaterial B.C.) that has no real accountability to anyone.
3) B.C. recycling policy should be made in B.C. This recycling policy is generated by and for a small board of Toronto-based multinational corporations.
4) The new recycling rules are so complicated that there is massive confusion regarding who is affected and how to comply. Businesses are being advised to check with their regulatory affairs and finance depart-ments. For most small business owners, this means checking with themselves.
5) The new rules never would have passed the gov-ernment’s own regulatory reform checklist because the costs aren’t justified and the program is too compli-cated to be easily understood.
6) The new rules are not small-business friendly. Some small businesses are even being bullied by big businesses to comply. One supermarket told their small-business suppliers that they have to comply with the new rules and that the supermarket will not accept any price increases to make up for the additional com-pliance costs.
7) Community newspapers will have a very hard time absorbing the additional costs. Some papers have closed, and others are sure to follow if the program goes forward.
8) The economic viability of existing recycling depots in small towns across the province is threatened. These depots provide local jobs and many have been on the front lines of helping promote environmental objectives in their municipalities for over a decade.
9) The rules are ostensibly about reducing packag-ing but there are no direct incentives to reduce packag-ing in the program.
10) The public and small businesses were never properly consulted about abandoning the existing blue-box programs and replacing them with a program run by an unaccountable board of big businesses.
It’s a bit of a head-scratcher as to why a govern-ment that has championed the importance of a strong economy based on B.C. priorities would go forward with wasteful, destructive policy designed by Toronto big business. The only good news is that it’s not too late to reconsider.

Public Works Week ~ a celebration of our local crew members
During the regular meeting of Council on April 7, 2014, Mayor Frank Armitage officially proclaimed May 18 to 24, 2014 as Public Works Week in the Town of Princeton.
The official proclamation; “WHEREAS: public works infrastructure, facilities and
services are vital to the health, safety and well-being of the residents of Princeton, BC; and
WHEREAS: such facilities and services could not be pro-vided without the dedicated efforts of public works profes-sionals, engineers and administrator who are responsible for building, operating and maintaining the public works systems that serve our citizens; and
WHEREAS: the Public Works Association instituted Public Works Week as a public education campaign to inform communities and their leaders on the importance of our nation’s public infrastructure and public works services; and
WHEREAS: it is in the public interest of citizens and civic leaders to gain knowledge of the public works needs and programs of their respective communities;
WHEREAS: Public Works Week also recognizes the con-tributions of public works professionals.”
In celebration of Public Works Week, the Similkameen Spotlight is pleased to present this focus on our public works employees and the work they do for the community of Princeton.
“We look after the operation and maintenance of most of the town’s functions and services,” explains Kevin Huey, Director of Infrastructure and Parks for the Town of Princeton.
A crew of eight working forty plus hours a week at times manage and maintain services including: the water service, storm drains, wastewater collection and treatment, road and sidewalk construction and maintenance as well as the main-tenance and care of the Princeton Cemetery.
The crew are also responsible for the maintenance of all Town of Princeton owned properties, buildings and facilities including: Princeton Centennial Pool, the municipal camp-ground, the Princeton Airport, town office, parks and play-grounds.
As part of their employment, crew members also travel to take training courses to upgrade their skills in order to per-form their duties. In fact, Britt Fraser has just returned from a week-long Wastewater Management Course.
In celebration of Public Works Week we salute the members of the Public Works Crew of the Town of Princeton:
Kevin Huey - Director of Infrastructure and Parks for the Town of Princeton is the head of the Public Works Department. Kevin has been employed with the Town of Princeton in this position for one year. However, Kevin is quite familiar with the town and his job as he was an employ-ee of the town just out of high school in 1978 until 1990. He then went on to work in the Kaleden and Keremeos Irrigation Districts before retuning home to Princeton last year.
Ken Gibson - Public Works Foreman has been serving the Town of Princeton for 23 years. Ken says it’s his duty to make
sure that all the work scheduled and employees are well organized. Ken and his wife Isabelle, who worked in the school district, raised their two children here.
Len Liberatore - Relief Foreman and Jack of all Trades, is a proud third generation Princetonite. Len’s children were raised locally as well. Len will be celebrating his 39th year of service to the Town of Princeton this year.
Allan Bouvette - Utility Operator and Jack of all Trades, has served with the Town of Princeton for 11 years. Allan and his wife Aida, nurse at Ridgewood Lodge, raised their two children here.
Britt Fraser - Water and Wastewater Operator for the Town of Princeton has just celebrated his 8th year of service. Britt and his wife, Marcie Whelpton are raising three children here, with their eldest graduating this year. Britt is well known for his performances with the local theatre group since 2007.
Jerry Seifried - Jack of all Trades, is coming into his third year of ser-vice to the Town of Princeton. Jerry says that he and his wife Annette enjoy fishing and camping during their leisure time. Jerry also has a passion for model planes.
Travis Barck - an Arborist by profession is working as a Jack of all Trades for the Town of Princeton. Travis is coming up on his 1st year of service and says that he is enjoying Princeton, especially now that it is Spring.
Jarod Thomas - Equipment Operator for the Town of Princeton is going into his forth year of ser-vice. Jarod was raised in Princeton and he and his wife Crystal, who works in reception at the hospital, are raising their three daughters here.

A trial date has been set in the double-murder that occurred in Princeton last year.
John Ike Koopmans, 49 at the time of this arrest on March 31, 2013, is charged with two counts of murder and a single count of attempted murder. A five-week trial has been scheduled to begin on Feb. 16, 2015.
Koopmans is alleged to have shot and killed Robert Keith Wharton, 44, and Rosemary Fox, 32 and injured another man at a property on Old Hedley Road in Princeton on March 30, 2013.
In February Koopmans appeared in front of a provincial court judge in Penticton for a prelimi-nary inquiry. Wearing glasses and a long goatee, he sat silent listening to witnesses and appeared to be taking notes while seated in the prisoners’ dock. He has been in custody since his arrest.
In the days that followed the shootings, RCMP said Koopmans and the shooting victims all lived in the Princeton area and were known to each other.

Uncommon visitor
Local photographer, Susan Jakubec found this creature in her garden on May 14. She posted the photo to her Facebook page, Susan Jakubec Photography and within a few hours it received over 1,200 views! A gentleman from the BC Royal Museum contacted Susan to let her know that the spider is a “tarantuloid”– a female of the “folding-door” spider genus Antrodiaetus, and is most likely the species Antrodiaetus hageni. None identified from Princeton before. “Fang Face” as named by Susan’s son is now at the BC Royal Museum and thankfully, not in her garden.Thanks for sharing the photos Susan.

Princeton Arts Council receives grantThe Princeton Arts Council is
thankful to have received a $14,000 grant from the B.C. Community Arts Council (division of the BC Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development) through the provincial funding provided to support arts in the 2013-14 fiscal year.
Three components are required for successful applicants: funds matched to local government support, a for-mula based on community size and isolation and an achievement award based on success in programming for
arts and cultural events in the com-munity.
The Princeton Cultural Plan, Spirit Festival and the Tree of Life mosaic mural were the projects completed that earned the local Arts Council permission to apply for annual oper-ating funds through the grant.
This funding enables the Princeton Arts Council to sustain the ongo-ing activities within the community including The Crimson Tine Players, Concert Series and the Sunflower Gallery.

I believe that everyone has one highly unusual character in their life that you can never forget. Mine is a fellow whose name shall remain anonymous. We’ll call him Gerry. He is indelibly linked in my mind to my arrival in Calgary immedi-ately after I had graduated from art school.
My two teenagers and I had traveled all night by train from Winnipeg at the end of August, 1986. When we arrived in sunny Calgary, dazed from lack of sleep and bloated bel-lies from trying to finish the food given to us for the trip, my brother was there to meet us.
We were Gordie’s guests for a few weeks while my son and I searched for jobs (eas-ily found in booming Calgary). Within a month, we were able to rent the townhouse next door and moving day approached. I should say, furniture scrounging day, because I had sold everything before leav-ing Winnipeg.
Gerry, who had a truck, was enlisted to help with the process. He was cheerful and enthusiastic about everything he did. I was a bit of an orphan in his mind and I was instantly adopted by this clearly eccentric man.
That first day of our relationship, he taught me two memorable things. First, if you wanted to be sure of a good merge into traffic in Calgary, you approached the point of no return at full speed and then at the last second, fully opened the driver’s door as if to exit your vehicle. (It worked like magic.) Second, if you wanted something cheap, leave the bargaining to good old Gerry and don’t ask ques-tions.
He had a budgie that had a vocabulary to put some people I know to shame. I was told the bird, which used to ride around on Gerry’s shoulder whether indoors or out, was banned from A.A. meetings for talking too much.
The bird, somewhat like me, was also a beneficiary of this man’s generous spirit.
The story goes that Gerry had been browsing in a pet store one day. As usual, he was broke but in a creative frame of mind. He spotted a very young bird with a damaged beak and offered to take it off the storekeeper’s hands, for nothing of course.
As the beak grew back in, the garrulous Gerry spent months teaching and training his little bird. He would open the window of his basement suite, go outside armed with a
dishtowel and wait for the bird fly out. Every time it made a run at the window, Gerry would flick the towel at it and it would fly back from the opening. Soon, it was possible to have fresh air and keep the bird inside!
There were a few near disasters though. Once, dur-ing morning coffee, a treat for both of them, the bird was perched on the edge of Gerry’s cup, chattering away and occasionally dipping his head for a drink. The little fellow slipped and fell in, badly burning his feet. No matter. Soon, Gerry had rigged up a tiny sling, pulling the burned feet through two tiny holes in the bottom. He hung the sling in the cage and hand fed and watered the patient till he was healed well enough to perch.
Eventually, we moved to Drumheller and lost direct contact with Gerry. Yet, word would trickle back from time to time that there had been a sighting. His was not an easy life and we knew that he had suffered from addictions in his past. He had remained clean and sober and one of the last reports we received about Gerry was that he had been seen in the dead of a frigid Calgary winter entering the downtown detox with an unconscious street person slung over his shoul-der. He was a man of great compassion, having suffered much himself. He had such a heart for the vulnerable and although a couple of hours were about as much excitement as I could take for one day, to me he was a real Calgary cowboy hero.
God bless you Gerry!

CAPRICORN: A rush of activity fills your calendar and keeps your phone ringing off the hook, Capricorn. Your challenge will be separating the pressing events from others.
AQUARIUS: Aquarius, paperwork has built up and requires more time than you had originally planned. There is no way to avoid this task, but a helper can make it move more quickly.
PISCES: Moderation is your mantra for the week, Pisces. Do not let the pendulum swing too far in either direction.
ARIES: Aries, your thoughts are distant right now, almost as if you’re living in a fantasy world. This is creatively beneficial but not so helpful for practical tasks.
TAURUS: Taurus, if you’re not careful, you could find yourself debating family and friends this week. Instead, try to sit back and listen rather than fostering debate.
GEMINI: Gemini, a realization about what is really important to you instills a renewed sense of confidence this week. You will be focused on important things.
CANCER: Cancer, if your finances seem like they are in a state of upheaval, it could be because you have not looked at everything in black and white just yet. Make some changes.
LEO: You come on too strong sometimes, Leo. Those who know you best can handle this approach, but you can scare off potential new friends if you do not ease up.
VIRGO: Be patient and do not demand too much of yourself during the next few days, Virgo. You need to keep your workload light; otherwise, you may get easily overwhelmed.
LIBRA: This is a time to discover the value of others, Libra. A willingness to try new things and delegate some responsibilities will free up your calendar.
SCORPIO: Certain personalities don’t always click, Scorpio. Don’t feel the need to overcompensate for a strained relationship. Spend more time with those with whom you connect.
SAGITTARIUS: Flexible thinking is key, Sagittarius, especially as you face a few new challenges this week. There are some opportunities to reconnect with family later in the week.

IZARD (nee HICKS)JANET, 1949 - 2014:
On 6 May 2014, Janet Izard, passed away peacefully
at Toronto General Hospital with her family present. For 4 months, she had valiantly battled infections following her liver transplant. We are very grateful to the dedication & care of the ICU staff at TGH throughout her time there. Jan is survived by her husband, John Izard, and two sons, Roger (Sabrina) and Douglas (Clare) and four grandchildren (Luke, Nathan, Kara and Joshua). She is also survived by her brother, Roger (Linda) Hicks and her nephew Bruce Hicks and her niece, Emily (Scott) Lindsay. She was born in Princeton, B.C. and graduated from UBC with a teaching degree. Her parents were Dr. Al Hicks and Eleanor Hicks. Jan’s focus was to help others. She was “born with her hand up” and actively volunteered for many groups during her 25 years in Brampton Ontario. She was a passionate gardener, golfer and dog lover. Donations can be made in her name to “Crohn’s & Colitis Canada” and we would like everyone to consider registering to become an organ donor to save others. There will be a “Celebration of Life” Service for Jan on next Saturday, 17 May, at 2:00 pm at St. Paul’s United Church in Brampton, ON. Our family is extremely grateful to the support we received from so many people during her illness.

Do you know your diabetes ABCs?
ABC
= AIC (measure of blood glucose levels over time) Recommended Target: 7.0% or below
= Blood pressure Recommended Target: 130/80 mm Hg
= Cholesterol Recommended Target: LDL: 2.0 mmol/L or lower. Total cholesterol to HDL ratio: below 4
If you have diabetes, you are at increased risk for heart disease and stroke, and other complications such as eye and kidney disease, nerve damage and foot problems. Keeping your blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol in a healthy range can reduce your risk of complications.

Appreciation Dinner:
On May 12, the Princeton Health Care Steering Committee put on an Appreciation Dinner for the health care profes-sionals and support staff at Princeton General Hospital and Cascade Medical Centre. Over 50 people attended the event where they enjoyed a buffet dinner in recognition of the out-standing service to our community. Regional Director Brad Hope and Mayor Frank Armitage brought greetings and thanks from the people of Area H and the Town of Princeton.
