Roses for a Good Samaritan

A “Mountain of Roses” from Belle Sobchak to “Rick from Sun Peaks” who so kindly stopped and helped me out with vehicle trouble and made sure I made it home safe.  You’re a sweetheart! Thank you!

Giant hogweed concern

Dear Editor,
As you’re probably aware, the national media has been advising Canadians of the necessity to beware of coming into contact with giant hogweed, a very toxic plant.
During our visit to the alpine meadows at Sun Peaks last summer, I photographed a large plant which I now believe to be giant hogweed.
The stem of the [...]

Enough of this nonsense, RE: Gerald Allgaier’s column “Lessons from Socialism”

Dear Editor,
Only in a Sun Peaks paper would one find a grinning idiot right winger like Gerald Allgaier spouting his neo-con nonsense!
[In SPIN’s Vol. 8 Issue 7, he gave a] lame excuse for possibly the worst president in the U.S. history (and that’s up against some very stiff competition!).
Doesn’t he know it was George Bush [...]

Bluebird blowout

Dear ladies at the Bluebird Market,
Yesterday, May 27, you hosted a Locals’ Day with food and drink for the community. I wanted to say a huge “Thank You” from all of us locals. It was such a great gesture and as I stood outside listening to everyone, all I could hear was “Wow, the chili [...]

Thanks for the support

Thank you to everyone that assisted with (the Sunday, June 6) Habitat for Humanity Garage Sale and barbecue, and especially to the team that was there for the whole event. From set-up to tear-down, you greeted guests, cooked food, and entertained us with your dancing!
These rock stars are Melissa Bahula, Katie Hutton, Yuki Sageishi and [...]

Drive with care

Dear Editor:
Our village has been blessed with the silver fox and her family again this spring.  One could hope that this is one of the orphans from a few years ago that has now returned to raise her family in our little community. 
The foxes have made their home along the golf course across from the [...]

We’ll be back

We hope spring is going well for everyone in Sun Peaks!
A quick update if you haven’t already heard. We (the Stein family) have moved to Montréal after many years in Sun Peaks. The move came upon us very quickly as an amazing and unforeseen work opportunity presented itself.
Alpine Images Photography is still operating in Sun [...]

Do you count?

Every smaller community in British Columbia is entitled to a Small Community Grant. The incorporated village of Sun Peaks will be no exception.
We need your help to get the proper amount of this grant for our village. You can help by ensuring that you are counted in the census that will be taken during the [...]

Looking for long-lost friends

Several years ago, we lived in Cupertino, California and took part in an exchange program with Cupertino School District and Kamloops, B.C. We had two boys in our home for a week. Became friends with Greg Carr. He should be about 46 or 47 years old now and his mom Donna who was one of [...]

Don’t alienate homeowners

I just read an article printed in the Kamloops Daily News entitled “Conflicts loom at Sun Peaks”, and can only wonder at the future of Sun Peaks if the new council is going to be faced with such divisive issues as nightly rentals.
The selfish and short-sighted attitude of the hotels and possibly some Sunburst residents is [...]
