Crude Prevelance Rate - Depression/Anxiety 2012/2013

It’s not a happy statistic.

The Town of Princeton has one of the highest levels of depression and anxiety in BC’s interior, and it resides in the worst-rated region in the province for the same afflictions.

According to a recent Interior Health report 36% of people in Princeton experience depression and anxiety compared to an average of 27 % in the communities covered

by Interior Health, and an average of 25% across British Columbia. A previous report has the Okanagan ranked the highest region in BC for depression, out of 16 regions, with Richmond being the lowest.

Betty Brown, who works for Interior Health with the Healthy Communities Initiative, said the numbers should be “eyeopening,” in an interview with The Spotlight following a presentation to council Monday night.

She added mental health problems in the community are likely even more prevalent than the data suggests. “The key issue in mental health is that it is under-reported.”

Susan Brown, Community Health Services Administrator for Interior Health, said there has been no detailed analysis to explain Princeton’s high numbers of mental health patients.

The study captures any person who has visited a doctor for depression or anxiety twice in a one-year period, or who has been hospitalized for those issues.

“We know that in the South Okanagan we have a high rate of seniors,’ she said, adding that physical health concerns, loss of mobility, loss of friends and changes in family situations can cause depression in an aging population.

“It is a concern when people are socially isolated…I suspect the issue is far more complex though.”

Historically there has been spotty access to mental health services in the area, said Susan Brown. “For a good many years we

did not have one psychiatrist in the whole South Okanagan…now we have a complete team.”

Those specialists are available to Princeton residents. As well, following a recently completed review of rural mental health services, permanent full time staff has been increased in Princeton.

Princeton General Hospital has a fulltime social worker and a mental health nurse, while a third member of the mental health team staffs the Anchorage Drop In Centre on

Vermillion Avenue. Previously mental health workers were shared between Princeton and Keremeos.

“It’s great to see they are putting fulltime workers into the community,” said Marilyn Harkness, a nursing professional and former health care administrator.

Harkness, also a former town councilor and currently a volunteer with the Okanagan Similkameen Healthy Living Coalition, said it’s important to “raise the level of awareness” about mental health.

She said lower than average education and income levels in Princeton may be impacting mental health statistics.

“They contribute to basic health. Why wouldn’t they be contributing factors to mental health?”

Harkness said people should “demand more from their health care system.” No one needs a doctor to receive mental health care. “It’s all self referral,” she said. “Call [the hospital] and say: ‘I need to see a social worker.’”

Teachers work together to purchase new playground equipment

Wednesday, April 22, 2015 Similkameen Spotlight

Princeton Mining Day “Copper Mountain’s Key to Success is its People and the Community”

May 12 2015

At Veterans Square 3:00-5:00 pm

Celebrating BC Mining Week!

“Mining in the 21st Century”

Ore which enters the primary crusher will be further reduced in size by the secondary crusher before it is sent into the SAG mill for grinding.

The existing climber at Vermilion Forks Elementary School was installed when the school was built, and teachers need $10,000 more to purchase a new “free-play adventure playground.”

Spotlight Staff

A group of dedicated teachers at Vermilion Forks Elementary School is more than two-thirds of the way towards raising the money it needs to purchase new playground equipment.

A fundraiser held last Friday at Vermilion Forks Restaurant was a sell-out, and between ticket revenue and proceeds from raffles and a silent auction, $8,000 was added to the kitty.

The school now has $28,000 of its $38,000 target.

According to Grade 4-5 teacher Tresten Cleven the school’s play area, which has an outdoor gymnasium, monkey bars and four swings, needs a “freeplay adventure playground.”

The equipment will include a combination of

slides and climbers. “The one we are looking at has got a zip line and different balancing activities and a few different things.”

According to Cleven this kind of playground “gets a large group of kids all successfully playing together…it’s just their imaginations and themselves.”

The fundraising project got started last year with a $15,000 donation from Weyerhaeuser. A second fundraising dinner is planned for May 22 at Tulameen Store, and a school art sale, where the students will sell off prized handmade creations, is planned for May 7.

Panning an un-mined opportunity for Princeton Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

It doesn’t take much to dig up some fun – and income - in Princeton in the spring.

Anyone with a shovel and a gold pan can be a hobby miner and prospect the Similkameen River.

“There’s absolutely no reason for anyone in Princeton to be unemployed,” according to Gino Del-Ciotto, professional prospector and founder of the Princeton and District Placer Miners’ Club.

“We literally have a pay cheque flowing through our town.”

The newly formed miner’s club held its first public gold panning demonstration Sunday on the shores of the Similkameen, just east of the Highway 3 bridge.

About a dozen people turned out to learn the ABCs of gold panning and have an opportunity to try their skills and luck. Beginners and seasoned prospectors dug holes, tested samples, panned and came away with gold flakes, small nuggets and even tiny rubies and garnets.

It was the first of many planned group events, said Del-Ciotto. “The ultimate goal of the club is to spread placer miner knowledge.”

Matthew Duguay, a mining professional from near Ashcroft, spent Sunday at the river and it didn’t

take him long to “find color.”

Holding up a pan with black dirt and golden sparkles he said” “When I see stuff like this that just tells me to keep going….I come here all the time on my days off to do this as a hobby.”

Duguay said panning in the Similkameen “absolutely” turns a profit.

Del-Ciotto believes gold panning is an un-mined recreational opportunity in the Princeton area. “It’s a very high quality family hobby that people can take up together. It’s far better than watching your kids sit and play on their iPhones.”

The Similkameen River – between A and W and the former Tourist Centre – is one of about 11 public panning reserves in British Columbia. That means no one needs a claim or a license as long as they are prospecting only with hand pans and shovels.

Additionally, the Similkameen and Tulameen areas represent one of only two places in the world where platinum, in addition to gold, can be found the river.

Del-Ciotto, who also owns Eureka Gold Sands, said hobby mining presents a fourteen-karat tourism opportunity for the Town of Princeton. “There’s nothing like this close to Vancouver,” he said, “It would be a really good way to put Princeton on the map.”

According to CAO Rick Zerr the rennovations are budgetted at $75,000.

Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

Princeton’s soon-to-be-open tourist information centre smells like fresh paint – and according to the town’s CAO the new downtown location will be open for business May 15 in time for holiday weekend traffic.

Renovations to the Bridge Street building – the former Princeton town hall – are estimated to cost $75,000, according to Rick Zerr.

Council announced in February it would take over management of the tourist centre, previously operated in conjunction with the Chamber of Commerce on Highway 3.

“What we are really hoping to do is bring these people downtown and do some shopping,” said Zerr, “where as previously they might not even have turned the corner.”

Zerr acknowledged town staffers have fielded concerns related to the move surrounding parking – particularly for RVs – as well as the cutting down of three trees on the downtown property.

He said the new visitor’s cen-

tre will be RV-friendly as the grassed lot on the building’s north side will be filled in, paved, and used as maneuvering lanes for large vehicles. There will be two parking spaces in the back for RVs, and three charging stations.

Zerr said the two large trees at the building’s front were removed “because we really needed to open up the front of the building” and will be replaced with deer retardant plants. The exterior of the building will be painted similarly to the current town hall on Vermillion Avenue.

“Hopefully it will be welcoming for these folks…we hope people like the landscaping.”

A Blue Spruce on the building’s south side was removed as it was too close to the foundation, he said, adding there will be a shaded space in that area for at

least two picnic tables including a wheel-chair accessible table.

The centre includes three public washrooms. “I think it’s a feature that’s going to be really good for the corner and compliments the town square,” said Zerr.

Additional attractions include free wifi and a water fountain “where travellers can fill bottles with good, clean Princeton water.

Municipal staff occupied the Bridge Street building until November 2013, and at the time it vacated the property there were air quality concerns caused by a chemical leak from a neighboring dry-cleaning business into the buiding’s crawl space.

Zerr said the renovations include upgrades to the HVAC system and air exchangers that eliminate any air quality concerns.

Town staff is drafting a bylaw to address smoking outdoors, and it should be ready to present at the May 4th council meeting.

Mayor Frank Armitage said Monday night that while councilors have yet to debate the pro-

posed law “it will cover where you can and cannot smoke in the Town of Princeton.”

The bylaw was first discussed in 2013, and later proposed by councilor Marilyn Harkness, who retired in October last year.

A4 www.similkameenspotlight.com Wednesday, April 22, Similkameen Spotlight OPINION

On a happier note...

Talk about disturbing news.

Thirty-six percent of Princeton suffers from depression or anxiety and the town is among the province’s most depressed communities.

That’s such a downer it’s tempting to bury the statistic in a story that makes the town “look better.” It’s tempting to ignore it all together.

This is how people suffer alone and in silence.

The community cannot address the needs of its residents until the community knows what they are.

It is an important discussion, but it has to include more than access to mental health services and intervention, the number of open clinic hours or how many family doctors live in town.

If we are going to discuss being sad, it’s vital we discuss being happy.

Dr. Mark Holder is an associate professor at the University of British Columbia and an internationally regarded expert in the science of happiness and the field of positive psychology.

In an interview with The Spotlight this week he busted a few myths about what makes people sad and anxious, and presented some practical suggestions that would make any community a brighter place.

“What the research suggests is that only a very small amount of your wellbeing is dictated by your surroundings,” says Holder. “By your surroundings I mean where you live and the job you have, things like that. If you think you will be happier if you moved… you’d probably be sorely mistaken.”

According to Holder between 40 and 50 percent of a person’s happiness is based on genetics. So go ahead and blame your biological parents for a lot.

He’s quick to point out that means people have control of between 50 and 60 percent of what makes them happy.

The most important ingredient in happiness is having strong personal relationships, says Holder. “It’s almost impossible to find someone who is happy who doesn’t have strong personal relationships.”

People who experience nature are also happier.

“This is not just going to nature, but people who are mindful of it tend to be happier. A simple way to start is by taking pictures of things in nature that have beauty for you. I’m thinking in Princeton you guys have that in spades.”

Money doesn’t buy happiness, although Holder says research shows anything more than $75,000 a year as family income doesn’t markedly improve wellbeing.

Spirituality, as differentiated from religion, is a key aspect of happiness, as is regular exercise and the occasional ice cream cone.

Helping others and volunteering are scientifically proven to provide “deeper happiness that comes from living the good life.”

On one hand it sounds too simple and good to be true. On the other it’s the kind of advice you might have gotten from Grandma, her genetic make up notwithstanding.

A disproportionate and high percentage of people seeking medical assistance for feelings of depression and anxiety is a big, bright and rippling red flag.

Interior Health along with local health care leaders absolutely must prioritize mental health services in Princeton. Let’s forget about where babies are being born and focus on outreach, treatment for mental illness and counseling.

Let’s start the discussion. And let’s not forget to talk about happiness.

Everyone cherishes a connection with the royal family It’s amusing – this endless fascination with the royal family.

Interest is reaching stratospheric heights now, in the homestretch of Lady Kate Middleton’s second pregnancy. Speculation and rumor own the front page of supermarket tabloids during this – the birth watch – and last week the London Telegraph reported 90 per cent of people placing wages on the gender of the spare to the heir are plumping for a princess.

Even here in the Similkameen Valley, which is geographically positioned almost as far as it’s possible to be from the centre of the British empire without actually leaving the planet, there beats a strong heart for the monarchy.

Princeton doesn’t have to look far to dig up its royal roots. The community’s own christening, with the name of Prince Town, commemorates the first North American tour of an heir to the British throne, Prince Edward, in 1860. Although the future King Edward VII didn’t get any farther west than Niagara Falls his legacy is felt here to this

Queen’s visit and hundreds of people flocked to the Olde School on the appointed afternoon just for a glimpse. There was international as well as local media covering the tour, although security was high and reporters were not allowed inside to watch the Queen actually eat.

A photo opportunity was arranged outside, and from among the many school children clustered in the parking lot one youngster – a young girl perhaps six years old – was selected to present the Queen with a fresh bouquet.

She was taken aside and given lessons in how to courtesy and how to hand over flowers. She practiced at length and was then swept to the front of the crowd to await the appearance of the Queen and her entourage.

Moments before the front doors to the restaurant opened a man in an impeccable suit jumped up, rushed over the girl, bent down and whispered urgently in her ear.

“The Queen is the one in the yellow hat.”

Perhaps that fascination with the royal family is not something we are born with, but something we learn.

Following eighty-year-old footsteps on the Hope-Princeton trail Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca

Eric Goodfellow of Princeton may be the only individual who ever walked the rugged mountainous trail from Princeton to Hope at the age of 7.

He sent me an e-mail after reading my column about Bill Robinson’s cabin at Camp Defiance along the Hope-Princeton Highway.

My research had not led me to any living persons who had walked the trail in those early years. For this reason his words surprised me.

“I walked with my father from Princeton to Hope in 1934. We stopped in at the cabin and visited with Bill Robinson. He gave us coffee with sugar.”

Hoping he might be able to expand my understanding of this aspect of BC geography and history, I invited him for coffee and a conversation. When he arrived at my home in Hedley at 10:00 a.m. as arranged, I sensed immediately that he is a congenial individual who enjoys people. He began by saying, “In 1927 my father, Reverend John C. Goodfellow, was invited to become pastor of the United

Church in Princeton. I was only 6 weeks old when we moved from Victoria. The first time I walked the trail with him was in 1934. All I carried that time was a pillow.

He carried our sleeping bags and food.”

In answer to my question as to his father’s motivation for undertaking such an arduous and unlikely trek, Eric said, “He took along 10-15 boys. They were mostly from the Sunday School in his church, but other boys were welcome. He didn’t talk much about religion on these walks. I think he just wanted to develop relationships with the boys and build into their young lives. He walked the trail 19 times, always starting out on the first Monday of July. All told he took along a total of about 250 boys. The last 2 years a Mrs. Busche came along, each time with a group of girls.”

They began their trek on the section of highway from Princeton to Fraser Camp, (the Whipsaw Creek area),where the road ended at that time. “From there we climbed the Dewdney Trail up the mountain to about the 7000 foot level,” he said.

“At the top we removed our shoes and socks and stuck our feet into the ice cold water of a lake. That was very refreshing.”

“There were places where the trail was overgrown and narrow. In the morning the branches were wet with dew. They slapped our faces and bodies. By noon our clothes were soaked and we built a fire to dry ourselves. We rarely saw anyone else on the trail. At night we cut boughs and placed our sleeping bags on them. We didn’t have tents.

We built a big fire to keep away the animals.”

The only adverse incident Eric remembers is when a boy placed a full can of pork’n beans on the fire without first poking holes in the top. “It exploded and we were all covered with beans.” It was probably a minor disaster. He laughs now at the memory.

“When we got to Hope,” Eric said, “Mr. Thacker let us pick big ripe strawberries in his field. We put them in our bowls and poured cream on them from a small Pacific Milk can.” With his fingers he indicated the can was about 3 inches tall. Getting cleaned up after nearly

Eric Goodfellow, Bill Robinson, Rev. John C. Goodfellow

a week in the wilderness was another highlight for the boys. “The manager of the Commercial Hotel let us wash up.” In our conversation he returned a couple of times to the delicious strawberries with cream and the opportunity to wash off the grime. His appreciation is still very evident. “Saturday at midnight,” he said, “we got on the Kettle Valley CPR train and arrived in Princeton at 4 am.” Eric did the walk with his father seven times.

In 1946 he undertook one more adventure through the difficult ter-

rain, this time driving a Model A Ford on the as yet incomplete Hope-Princeton Highway. “They hadn’t built bridges over the creeks,” he said. “We had to drive through them. There was a bridge over the Sumallo River not far from Bill Robinson’s cabin though, and I stopped in and had a very pleasant visit with him.”

At the end of our conversation, I felt as though I had been at Eric’s side on the trail, experiencing the rigours and joys of this momentous adventure.

Horse racing takes hiatus for 2014

95 years ago

The Princeton Racing Days Association has decided after much consideration to suspend horse racing for 2014. However, the association is geared up to present two days of fun-filled events.

Due to successive funding cuts to Interior Horse Racing and other province-wide issues, the association has decided to take this year to work on the stumbling blocks they face in hopes of hosting a successful event in 2015.

...“The concept of a Southern British Columbia railway was finalized at this site…the appropriately named Bridge of Dreams.”

On April 15, 1915, the first train chugged its way into Princeton from Penticton. Now, some twenty years after the rail line abandoned the tracks, a bridge once again became a link across the Tulameen River.

Second public forum planned to brainstorm ideas for town To the editor Princeton is no longer the vibrant and thriving town that it used to be.

What kind of town do you want to live in?

What direction should the town go, and how do you fit in with this?

Administrators of the Town Hall and the Councilors discuss and

plan the town’s direction and influence activities, but they can do little by themselves. It is the people who need to move the situation forward.

Complaining doesn’t help. Let’s stop whispering and bitching about the condition of this town between friends and neighbors. Let’s expose our concerns,

experiences and dreams.

The majority of us may share more than we realize.

Neither the world’s nor the local economy is what it used to be.

We are living in new times and we need some new thinking. We need to develop a creative and environmentally softer and stable local

Not all drama’s players from Coalmont To the editor With all due respect to the excellent Spotlight reporting, I would like to point out that last week’s story “Coalmont ‘spiraling out of control’” made reference to several people as being Coalmontians when they’re not.

If that is what they said, then they were just bragging. In any case, we’re a very small town but there’s no need to bolster our census numbers.

In particular I take issue with referring to Karl Gatzke as being from here. He is a longtime permanent resident of the lower mainland and only comes here to visit his daughter.

Similarly, the article referred to Warren Spence as “another Coalmont man”, when in fact he is from Princeton.

Ole Juul Coalmont

economy. Potential tourists drive right by us every day but our efforts have not captured them.

Can we not develop or move toward a more interesting and flexible commerce in downtown which could attract tourists? Whatever the dreams, ideas and plans for the future, Town Hall cannot do the work

alone. It is up to the whole community to work together.

This forum is only a start. It is hoped that this initial meeting will form the beginning of a collective understanding from where we can develop a process and create a concrete organization with which to

move forward to visualize and create the solutions that we need. If you want to see a fruitful future for this town, it is the people who live and work here who must collaborate to achieve the dream.

Please join us on Tuesday April 23rd, 7 p.m. at the old Elk’s Hall to add your voice and

energy to the future of Princeton.

Please note at this time we are brainstorming and respectfully ask that councillors and the media do not attend.

New Posse head coach set to grow hockey tradition Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

The new head coach of the Princeton Posse says player development and building a winning team are the top priorities in his new role.

Geoff Goodman comes off two successful seasons as assistant coach with the Osoyoos Coyotes – the local squad’s nemesis that lost only seven games in the regular season last year and reached the conference final during the playoffs.

“I think it’s a great opportunity,” said Goodman, in an interview with The Spotlight. “After being in the league for a couple of years one of the things I hear from other coaches and other organizations is that

Princeton is a great hockey town.

They embrace the team. It’s a good place for a player to go.”

Goodman replaces Bill Rotheisler, who was released by the organization in February following the Posse’s fourth place regular season finish.

Goodman expects to see about 15 players return to the Posse for the 2015-2016 season. “There are several players that want to get going with their schooling and there are a couple of players trying out for Junior A. I haven’t talked to everybody yet right now but I think 15 is a realistic number,” he said.

“At the same time I am recruiting other players to come in. Hopefully I can offset the players who don’t want to play or don’t want to come

back.”

Goodman described his coaching philosophy as “ all about development. I think our league is about development. I’m looking to build a team where guys are anxious and eager to try to move on to Junior

A or to go to college and continue hockey.”

Goodman lives in Summerland, and is a fulltime account executive with Progressive Waste Solutions.

He promised he has sufficient job flexibility to ensure the Posse is well managed.

“I’m organized,” he said, adding that while coaching Osoyoos “I never missed a practice, I never missed a game and I was at all the team functions.”

In a press release director of Posse hockey operations Randy McLean said “This hiring has been made not only with great confidence for our organization but also our league. We feel that Coach Goodman’s ability to bring a blend of business professionalism to our

organization and a care and understanding to the future of our young players makes him the perfect fit to move forward for the Posse and the league.”

Goodman played senior hockey in Ontario where he won several provincial and national championships in hockey and lacrosse.

He coached minor hockey in the Okanagan for several years, and was named Coach of the Year in Penticton Minor Hockey Association in 2012.

“Everybody I’ve met with the Posse organization is very passionate about the team and the community and I want to come down there and make sure we are continuing and growing the tradition of hockey in Princeton,” he said.

Come join us for coffee and tea on the patio!

DUTTENHOFFER, DOLLIE LENORA

With sadness we announce the death of Dollie Lenora Duttenhoffer in Port Alberni on April 10, 2015.

She was born August 4, 1937 in Vancouver BC to David & Rhoda Brown.

She enjoyed working as a legal secretary and then as a hairdresser until her 3 daughters arrived and then she dedicated her life to her family.

In 1967 she and her family moved to Kennedy Lake Resort at Princeton, BC. Here she learned to overcome the challenges of country living.

Many times she would have to tow her little Volkswagen Bug out of the snow bank, chase the cows back home after escaping and prevent a pig or a pony from entering the house.

She had a great love of music and dancing. Blue Moon would bring a tear to her eyes. She was always kind, loving and giving to everyone.

She was a member of the Jehovah’s Witness Congregation and faithfully served her God Jehovah from 1974 until her death.

She is survived by her husband Peter, her 3 daughters Gail Dyck, Susan West, Colleen Duttenhoffer and her grandchildren Donohue Dyck, Tabitha Bennett, Nicholas Duttenhoffer, Graham Woods and 2 great grandsons.

She will be forever missed by her family and friends.

Join us for a tea in memory of Dollie on May 16th 1:00 pm Community Skills Centre 206 Vermillion Ave. Princeton, BC Stories and condolences may be forwarded to the family by visiting: wwwyatesfuneral.ca
