Princeton votes to not vote on council Andrea DeMeer publisher@similkameenspotlight.com

The people of Princeton may well be the only ones in the province who aren’t heading for the polls November 15th to elect a municipal government.

Friday at 4 p.m. Mayor Frank Armitage and four candidates for town council were acclaimed to four-year terms, as were Princeton’s three school board trustees.

The new Princeton council consists of Armitage, returning members Doug Pateman and Kim Maynard, and newcomers Jerome Tjerkstra and Rosemary Doughty.

School Board trustees for School District 58 Area 2 are Gordon Comeau, David Rainer and Leah Ward.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Armitage in an interview following the close of nominations.

He’s not the only one.

Brad Hope, exiting Regional Director for Area H, holds a degree in political science and has worked in and around municipal politics most of his life. He describes the complete acclamation of council as “staggering.”

“I just find it so amazing that I have had so many calls over the last few years about things that people were pleased with, or not, and had opinions of councillors who were there – good, bad or indifferent – and the election comes and where’s the pressure to have people run?”

Hope said he could not finger apathy or taxpayer satisfaction as reasons for the lack of nominations.

“I wish I had an opinion on why people are not stepping up or encouraging others to do so.”

The story is dramatically different in other communities in BC’s interior. There are three contenders for the top position in Regional District H; Bob Coyne, Jamie Frandsen and Charles Weber.

New tax dollars will fund Princeton’s aquatic dreams Andrea DeMeer Similkameen Spotlight

Princeton is one step closer to realizing its dream of an aquatic centre following a successful meeting between council and Premier Christy Clark at the recent Union of BC Municipalities Convention, according to Mayor Frank Armitage and CAO Rick Zerr.

The foundations for a community pool are being poured on a promise by the province to facilitate an expansion of town boundaries that will make Copper Mountain Mine part of the municipality.

The move – expected to be complete by the end of 2014 – will add approximately $350,000 annually to Princeton coffers, expanding the industrial tax base by about 70 per cent, said Zerr in an interview following the convention.

Those dollars are earmarked for the pool, said Armitage. “It now appears we will be able to move

ahead with our community health, wellness and aquatic centre.”

Total cost of the centre is estimated to be $8 million, and council still needs to solidify plans for the balance of the financing.

Fundraising and government grants will both play roles, said Armitage.

He stressed with many people in Princeton living on fixed incomes, there are no plans to offload the cost of building the pool onto residential taxpayers.

Armitage could not speculate on when the aquatic centre will be operational, but said council already has preliminary drawings, and is looking at several possible locations.

The boundary expansion will not change operating procedures at Copper Mountain Mine, the town’s largest employer. Nor will it harm the Regional District as currently the mine’s taxes are funneled through the province.

you it’s just odd there would be so few people interested in helping lead those two governments.”

Council newcomer Jerome Trjerkstra said in an interview with the Spotlight the process of acclamation creates unique challenges for his first term.

“Acclamation will require that I pursue definitely the thoughts and opinions of the townsfolk over the next four years…There’s a higher demand for pursuing support for any initiative that may come down the road.”

Returning councilor Doug Pateman said he has “mixed feelings” about being acclaimed.

“It’s nice that I don’t have to go through the stress of a campaign and don’t have to knock on doors and spend a lot of money on signs and do the all candidates meeting. On the other hand I

don’t get to knock on doors and do the signs and the all candidates meeting.” Pateman was first elected to council two and half years ago in a by-election triggered by the death of Mayor Fred Thomas.

According to Hope, the past few years have been politically turbulent in Princeton. The general municipal election three years ago was dominated by a debate centering on the joint regional district-town referendum about building an aquatic center in the area.

“It was quite contentious which is not necessarily a negative thing. I thought there was lots of activity. Everyone had opinions and the papers were full of letters to the editor. I thought it was contentious but certainly interesting and informative and I suppose exciting as well. It wasn’t the most pleasant expe-

Armitage, who is vice president of human resources at Copper Mountain Mine, said that company is very supportive of the development.

“The mine has an absolute say in whether or not this is implemented.

In our case president Jim O’Rourke of Copper Mountain Mine has been totally supportive because he wish-

rience certainly but it certainly involved everyone.”

Hope said that kind of robust election is generally followed my more, vibrant, challenges at the polls and he said he “disappointed” that Princeton will not be voting next month.

“Especially now that we have a four year term, that’s a long time between opportunities to relay your concerns and your interests and help put forward people who have ideas…I’m a bit sorry to see that it’s just acclamation and we don’t get the opportunity to get to hear the positions and we don’t get to choose and we don’t get the opportunity to direct.”

Approximately 70 per cent of the 400 people employed at Copper Mountain live in Princeton.

The building of a pool in Princeton has been a focal issue for many residents. “It’s top of mind for a lot of people,” said Armitage.

A 2013 recreational survey identified an aquatic centre as a high priority.

Three years ago the establishment of an aquatic centre as a joint project between Princeton and the Regional District was defeated in the municipal government referendum.

Council must consult

While no one can seem to explain how it came to pass that an entire town council plus a school board slate were acclaimed for four-year terms Friday at 4 p.m., many are in agreement about one thing. It’s not a best-case scenario.

It’s no reflection on the returning mayor, councillors, or the new members of council to regret the lost opportunity to publicly thrash the issues, or even to discover what issues are most concerning Princeton residents in November 2014.

The new council will have a tougher job than most meeting the expectations of its constituents for the simple fact that no one has established the nature of the town’s needs.

Without debates, letters to the editor, or meetings over the doorstep councillors will be flying blind.

For this reason the new council must make consultation its number one priority.

There are serious issues facing the community. Suddenly the building of an aquatic centre is back in the middle of the table. Access to health care is an ongoing problem in Princeton. In partnership with the region there are decisions to be made about the future of one of the area’s greatest resources, the Similkameen River. The Fortis dam question is in remission but it hasn’t gone away forever. A business advisory group struck earlier this year determined that Princeton has the potential to and should grow to a population of 5,000.

What does the town want?

How do taxpayers want municipal government to prioritize its time and resources?

Without an election, nobody knows.

Council must be diligent in providing tools and implementing processes to foster community engagement and feedback.

Presently both Mayor Frank Armitage and CAO Rick Zerr make themselves available for “drop in visits” at the town offices each Tuesday. That’s a great tradition to continue and promote to taxpayers.

Additionally, town hall public forums are in order to actively seek opinion. Think of them as all-candidates debates with a predetermined outcome.

The Town of Princeton itself as well as individual councilors need to utilize social media to connect with residents and respond to concerns. Basically everyone needs learn to Tweet and post to Facebook, and information garnered from these increasingly used mediums needs timely response.

Princeton has already been clear in one respect: it is not dissatisfied enough with anything local government has done in the past three years that it will rise up and present opposition.

That is validating for the exiting council, and shows confidence in the new people just brought on board.

However no one should forget that people get the government they deserve. The residents of Princeton deserve to be consulted, and surveyed, and engaged, and have their needs extracted from them like teeth if necessary. Effective consultation is hard work.

And four years is a long time.

I fed the deer.

I know. I know. We are not supposed to feed the deer. I’ve done the research, read the pamphlets and spent considerable time talking to Councillor Doug Pateman – the town’s go-to guy on the deer issue.

Actually I confessed to Doug Friday, during a chat at the town hall following the municipal election nomination deadline.

He pressed his palms to his brow and shook his head.

DON’T DO THAT. Yeah.

In my defence I did not feed a town deer, inadvertently encouraging the community’s urban deer population.

I fed a deer at the Castle Resort on Princeton Summerland Road. The DeMeer family lives at the Castle. (I love referencing that. “Just popping out to the Castle for lunch.” It’s one of the many things I feel in common with Princess Kate Middleton. )

Learning life lessons from “the girls” and the garden

Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca

I highly respect the political science and sociology professors who gave me an education at SFU. They were learned individuals, with degrees from prestigious universities.

In spite of my regard for them, for significant life lessons, I’m actually more inclined to turn to my three chickens.

Better known in Hedley as “the girls”, their leader in innovation and thwarting my purposes is Miss Lonely

Hearts. She is the odd girl out. Possibly due to the rejection, she is most apt to think “outside the fence.” Then there are the two Cleopatras, life long buddies. We can’t tell them apart and therefore decided one name will do for both.

Like an unanticipated pregnancy, the girls arrived without any prior notice. To control them, I affixed a length of chicken wire to poles around the garden. With the fence in place, I felt confident the garden was adequately protected.

Very quickly I found myself locked in a fierce battle of wits and will with Lonely Hearts. It was spring and appetizing shoots were sprouting out of the soil in the garden. Possibly even more compelling, the garden was off limits, and this she could not tolerate. All that first afternoon she patrolled along the outside of the fence. With the Cleopatras marching behind, they looked like determined, hardened cons, seeking to escape from prison.

The following morning the girls were in the garden, furiously scratching for insects.

Tender young plants were being uprooted with alarming haste.

I picked up the girls individually and gently threw them over the fence. They had squeezed through a narrow opening between the fence and storage shed. A quick fix. I was considerably mollified by their thoughtful gift of three beautiful brown eggs.

Community asked to welcome and care for new temporary doctors who may choose to settle here To the editor The Princeton Health Care Steering Committee is pleased to report that Princeton and Area will have six locum physicians coming to assist our practitioners between now and the end of December. The locums aregeneral practitioners who will be providing health care services during this time when our community is experiencing a doctor shortage.

We are indebted to Drs. Black, Monro, and Sandhu for their

work in recruiting the locums.

We also acknowledge the support of Interior Health for providing a furnished apartment and a house as an incentive to bring doctors to our community.

To make these doctors feel at home while they are here, the Steering Committee is organizing a Love a Locum campaign to help the locums feel welcome. We also hope that we can leave a positive impression on locums who might be looking for a community to set

up a long term practice.

If you’re interested in being a part of the Love a Locum campaign, you can help by providing such things as home cooked meals, canning, gift certificates, lessons by skilled people (fly fishing, horseback riding, crosscountry skiing, etc.).

harvest her basil, the girls had already thoroughly clipped it and had started on the radish tops.

After two weeks, I installed a higher, much sturdier fence. Lonely Hearts flew over my new five foot high fence once, by taking off from a box I’d left standing on end inside their area.

The lady’s strategies mirror the words of Jack Canfield in “The Principles of Success.”

Canfield suggests we “operate outside the world of conventionality and instead live in a world of expanding awareness, creativity and accomplishment.”

He urges us to “become free of the many fears

and anxieties that diminish the imaginations and ambitions of the vast majority of people.”

This describes Miss Lonely Hearts nicely.

Like the intrepid individuals who dug tunnels under the Berlin Wall to attain freedom, she concocts strategies that will take her under, over, around or through the obstacle.

If we were to apply this thinking consistently at the personal and community level, could we develop more fulfilling lives? Could we create more attractive communities that people would want to come to and be part of? Miss Lonely Hearts would say, “it’s possible.”

Government of B.C.

Artist’s rendering of a separate liquor store space attached to a grocery store.

Groceries and liquor will be available together next spring Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – Large grocery stores are the only retailers eligible to add a separate liquor store under new B.C. government regulations set to take effect in the spring of 2015.

To qualify for a space to sell alcoholic beverages, stores must have at least 929 square

metres (10,000 square feet) of floor space and groceries as 75 per cent of their sales, Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced Friday.

The restrictions are designed to exclude general merchandise and “big box” stores as well as convenience stores, according to a ministry statement. Eligible stores will be permitted

to create a “store within a store” with separate cash registers and staff, or “co-brand” with liquor stores outside their existing facilities.

The government plans to maintain its cap on the number of liquor stores, with 670 private stores now in operation.

Liquor stores are currently restricted to relocating no more than five

Government refuses to release Mount Polley inspection reports Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government released its latest water test results from the Mount Polley mine spill area Thursday, but refused a demand by opposition politicians to release inspection reports on the mine and tailings dam that collapsed Aug. 4.

Environment Minister Mary Polak said the water results showed “slightly” elevated levels of aluminum and copper in water samples from Quesnel Lake, but water remains safe to drink in the area affected by the plume of tailings in the lake.

Polak said all information related to health and safety of area residents has been made public, but she is complying with a request from investigators not to release inspection reports until multiple investigations are complete.

Polak released an Oct. 6 letter from B.C. Chief Inspector of Mines Al Hoffman, who is supervising one investigation of the dam failure. Hoffman said inves-

tigators is examining “all documents relating to the history, design, construction, operation and maintenance of the tailings facility” and has interviewed more than 50 people.

“I share the concern with the Ministry of Justice that the public release of information related to the tailings facility at Mount Polley may impact investigations by tainting evidence of persons yet to be interviewed or reinterviewed,” Hoffman wrote.

Imperial Metals issued a statement last week in response to a Vancouver newspaper report that a 2010 inspection report described a crack found in the Mount Polley dam.

The crack was 900

metres away from the area of the August breach, and “was thought to be associated with localized settlement of loosely compacted material along the downstream slope of the embankment,” the company said.

NDP energy and mines critic Norm Macdonald referred to reduced inspections at a coal mine in the Kootenays, and a memo from a ministry official in 2010 warning of the risks of reducing mine inspections.

Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett maintains that annual inspections of Mount Polley and other mines with tailings ponds were not reduced, although other inspections were reduced.

km from their original location, but that restriction is being lifted so a licence can be sold or moved anywhere in the province.

That would allow existing government or private liquor stores

to relocate in partnership with grocery stores, while maintaining the regulation that no two liquor outlets can be closer together than one kilometre.

Licensing to sell B.C. wine directly from

grocery store shelves, a second recommendation from a province-wide consultation on liquor policy reform conducted earlier this year, is still being studied.

Anton said the system “strikes a balance of

added convenience for consumers and support for B.C.’s business sector, while at the same time respecting health and public safety considerations.”

BOUNDARY EXTENSION APPLICATION Notice is hereby given that under section 86 (Alternative Approval Process) of the Community Charter and Section 20 of the Local Government Act, the Council of the Town of Princeton intends to petition the Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development requesting an extension of the area of the municipality to include the described land on the map below.

The Town of Princeton’s Proposed Boundary Extension Area

Proposed Boundary Extension Area to include Copper Mountain Mine Properties Town of Princeton

The Town of Princeton is located approximately 20 km north of Copper Mountain

ALTERNATIVE APPROVAL PROCESS AND ELIGIBILITY AND FURTHER TAKE NOTICE THAT the municipality may proceed with the satellite boundary extension request unless at least ten percent of municipal electors indicate that a referendum must be held by submitting a signed Elector Response Form to Town Hall no later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, November 14 th, 2014. Elector Response Forms must be in the form established by the Town of Princeton, and only those persons who qualify as electors of the municipality are entitled to sign Elector Response Forms.

If less than ten percent of municipal electors submit an Elector Response Form, the satellite boundary extension request will be deemed to have the approval of the electors and the Town of Princeton may proceed. For the purpose of conducting the alternative approval opportunity, the number of electors is calculated as 275.

The rationale for the proposed boundary extension is to enable the Town of Princeton to better manage the effects of mine operations that directly affect road, park, recreation and other infrastructure. The addition of mine assessment to the Town’s tax base will help to provide support for infrastructure and programs to keep Princeton vibrant and desirable as a community to continue to attract and retain residents.

This is a 12-month per year, 7.5 hours per day position. Salary and benefits will be in accordance with the C.U.P.E. Local 847 Collective Agreement.

Elector Response Forms are available from Town Hall, 151 Vermilion Avenue, Princeton, BC during regular business hours Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or on our website www.princeton.ca.

For a complete listing of the job description and qualifications please visit the district’s website at www.sd58.bc.ca click on Jobs/Support Positions and search under ‘Current Job Opportunities’ and follow the prompts (Job Code 711490). Applications, including a detailed resume with a minimum of three references, will be accepted until October 10, 2014.

The pursuit and purchase of quality never causes regret Merrilyn Huycke ARTIFACTS

For a couple of weeks now, the concept of excellence has been on my mind. I’m sure that being heavily involved in the recent art show, Earth Alive! at Riverside Centre has had quite a bit to do with it. The centre itself received new track lighting. Stained ceiling tiles were painted over and walls were also given a fresh coat. Much of the flotsam and jetsam was removed in the process as were old, 1970s orange (uncomfortable) chairs and miscellaneous objects that had taken root in the lounge area. Suddenly, people

were looking around the space and remarking on the changes.

Then when the art went up, I noticed a hush, even though there were often several people there at a time. The corners of their mouths would turn up in little smiles of pleasure. I don’t think that man y were aware at that point how much the environment that had been created had to do with their enjoyment of the works on pedestals and walls but it was clear it subtly changed many people’s perceptions.

After the jurors had finished and a few of us had a chance to chat

with them, they shared that they were pleased with the quality of art entered for adjudication.

However, they said, the one thing that they would like to see addressed would be the care taken in the presentation of the individual work, for example, matting and framing. Their comment was something to the effect that we painters, photographers, ceramic artists etc. have taken great pains to make our best work. We need to honour those objects by presenting them in an equally well thought out way.

We need to take care of the details. That sentiment got me thinking.

How willing am I to accept mediocrity? I tend to be more obsessive than some are about detail but I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. I may be getting old and cranky but it’s disheartening to walk through a big box store and see the shoddiness of stitching and seam allowances found in many of the dresses and other articles of clothing for sale. I’m old enough to remember 5/8 inch seam allowances and such things as darts and pleats for shaping.

I cringe when I see furniture made of particle board finished with a layer of paper printed to look like wood. The

doors often hang crookedly and after several months things begin to fall apart.

Everything from household appliances to cars has plastic parts used in ridiculous places where stress on the part is an issue.

Of course, the reasons for buying such things are nearly always about money, convenience or time. Or are they? I’m afraid for me it’s my short-sightedness because in the end, I still spend time fixing or returning the objects that are poorly made or I wind up buying two or three cheap tops when I could have bought a good one.

I admit that I have caved in more than once and then lived with regret. It’s very easy to slip into complacency or just get fed up with fighting the trend towards mediocrity in the culture we inhabit. But that’s a slippery slope to give in and I’m usually able to catch myself and do better.

Excellence is worth fighting for. I expect it in others, especially if I’m paying for a service or a product. The thing is, I have an obligation to give the same. I believe

we all owe it to each other.

It keeps the standards up and shows respect for our fellow citizens.

It makes a community have value and it shows in everything we do and produce.

We are blessed here in Princeton with a growing cultural movement towards excellency that can be found in our weekend market, in several of our businesses and in our rediscovered visual arts activities.

Here’s hoping we keep it up!

The Posse had only 17 shots on net versus 100 Mile House Friday night but made 7 of them count.

Posse sneaks into second

The Princeton Posse gave thanks on the weekend for backto-back wins against the 100 Mile House Wranglers and the Kamloops Storm, moving ahead to second in the Okanagan division with a 5-3-1 record.

Friday night in 100 Mile House was a high scoring game with remarkably little shooting.

Princeton won the contest 7-5, while still struggling with the penalty kill as the team gave up three goals on seven power plays. Spencer Huff turned away 19 of 24 shots, while the Posse managed to capitalize on 41 per

cent of their chances, recording seven goals in just 17 shots.

Trevor Pereverzoff was the Away Star of the Game, taking credit for setting up four of the Posse’s markers.

Goal scorers for Princeton were Cooper Prechel (2) Destin Robinson, Kyle Bergh, Connor Sloan, Eden Dubchak and Daine Elphicke. Assists went to Pereverzoff (4) Sloan (2) Colton St. John (2) Kurtis Klinger (2) and Bergh and Tyler Ehlers.

Despite being seriously outshot in Kamloops Saturday the Posse squeaked by the Storm 4-3.

Stephen Heslop stopped 37 of 40 shots, while the Posse located the back of the net four times with only 22 opportunities. Colton St. John, who scored twice for the Posse, was the Away Star of the Game. Connor Sloan and Trevor Pereverzoff each added a goal for Princeton. Assists were earned by Kurtis Klinger (2) Kyle Bergh, Thomas Cankovic and Pereverzoff.

The Posse rides at home Wednesday night at 7 p.m. against North Okanagan and again faces them on home ice again Saturday at 7 p.m.

Riding club always looking for new members To the editor The Similkameen Valley Riders had their 2014 AGM meeting in June resulting in new directors. Vic Bartel is the new president with Mike Jacobs as vice president. Edna Blomme is the new treasurer and will sign up new members and renew present memberships as they come due. Marie Jacobs has graciously taken on the task of organizing the meetings and the taking of minutes. Merv and Kathie Eldred will handle the ride schedule.

Ride schedules are made up at the beginning of the season and are updated as more rides are added. There also are many spur-of-the-moment rides which usually turn out very well. Any

member can lead a ride of their choosing or have another member lead one for them.

With a barbecue in July and a potluck supper in September, the Similkameen Valley Riders are up and riding. This past season we have had rides along McNulty Creek, did a Sunday Summit loop, had a 270 km overnighter to Cabin Lake and went from Copper Creek to Ashnola via Placer Lake. In September there was a camping week at Davis Lake with quad riding, fishing, relaxing, nightly bonfires and a lot of camaraderie. A special thank you goes to Jim Bolenback, Merv Eldred, Mike Jacobs and Lyle Zimmerman for leading the rides.

This past Saturday, the 4th, six quads with eight riders made a trip from the bottom of Nickleplate Mountain over Apex to Olalla and back. As we ascended to the top of the world we hit heights of 7200 ft. Mike, our leader, led us over the mountain past some of the most awesome views of the valleys below. We rode through many mountain vistas of evergreens and trees shedding their leaves. The day was beautiful...a perfect day for a ride.

The Similkameen Valley Riders is open to anyone who wishes to be a member.

For more information contact... Vic Bartel at 250-295-7592 or email bartel.vic@gmail.com.

Edna Blomme

On a recent trip Mike Jacobs led the Similkameen Valley Riders to heights of 7200 feet.
