Carton full of kittens dumped at town landfill

Andrea DeMeerSpotlight Staff

Clients at the Princeton Landfill get a friendly greeting from scale operator Trina Michaud.

“Good Day. Do you have any appliances? Any recyclables? Any kittens?”

That’s because in the past week and a half it appears at least two litters of young cats have been dumped in the landfill pit.

Michaud describes it as “horrifying.”The incident came to light last Monday.“My boss went down to pack the garbage

and found what we thought were five of them in a box,” said Michaud.

The noise of the packer frightened the animals and they scattered. “If that box had of been taped shut they would been run over by the packer,” she said.

An elderly couple was at the landfill at the time and the woman “jumped right into the pit to rescue the first one.”

Landfill staffers have since retrieved six other kittens, and two more have been spot-ted, leading Michaud to believe at least two litters have been abandoned.

She said the cats are clearly domestic as opposed to feral animals, as they appear cared for and have soft non-matted fur.

Six of the rescued kittens have been taken into foster care and at least three of them have already been adopted. Currently there is one kitten being kept in a cage at the landfill office – a black male cat who is older and larger than some of the other animals that came from the pit, and whose behavior is still skittish and defensive.

“You can tell he’s been out there for a few days.”

Michaud said she is concerned that as the

story of the rescued cats circulates, others might look at the landfill as a way of dealing with their own pet problems.

“We are all trying to do our best, but we cannot keep dealing with this everyday.”

Kailee Gibb, who has operated Princeton Animal Assistance for two years – a service that provides low cost spaying and neu-

tering, a basic health care for pets – told The Spotlight her organization will take any unwanted animals and find new homes for them.

“I’m gearing up to make it a find-a-home program,” Gibb told the Spotlight in an inter-view.

“I’m trying to network so that anybody

who has unwanted animals they don’t have to dump them. They can put them into a home so we can prevent this kind of thing.”.

Gibb is currently attempting to live trap any kittens remaining at the landfill.

Anyone interested in contacting Princeton Animal Assistance can reach Gibb through the group’s Facebook page.

Police share theory on robbery page 3

Andrea DeMeerThere are still two kittens, believed to be domestic animals, loose at the Princeton landfill site and live traps have been set to rescue them. This cat, estimated to be about three months old, is still too skittish to go into foster care and he is currently living in a cage in the landfill’s office.

Armed bank robber may have created diversion at hospital


The man who robbed the downtown CIBC in Princeton last Monday at gunpoint may have created a diversion minutes before the hold up by placing a false call to police.

The suspect in the robbery is still at large.“There was a call that was placed minutes before

the robbery that appears to have been false,” said Sergeant Barry Kennedy, RCMP Princeton detach-ment commander.

“We can confirm that but we don’t if there was an accomplice involved or if this was done by the suspect himself.”

Kennedy said the caller to police reported a man was “swinging a bat around in the hospital.”

Kennedy said that while police have widely cir-culated a picture and description of the suspect, no one has come forward with information.

“So far we don’t have any suspects or leads…his picture is out there, so if you know anything about it give us a call or call CrimeStoppers.”

The robbery occurred just after 2 p.m. Monday December 1st when a lone gunman entered the CIBC on Bridge Street and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. RCMP canine and Ident units were called in to assist in the investigation.

The suspect is described as a white male, late 20s to early 30s, 5’10-6’ tall, with sandy colored hair and a medium athletic build. He was wearing a Canucks touque, a dark jacket, cargo pants and sunglasses.

The trial for a man accused of firing the shots that killed two people and wounded another is set to begin Feb. 16 in B.C. Supreme Court in Penticton.

John Ike Koopmans was 49 when he was arrested in March 2013 and charged with two counts of murder and a single count of attempted murder stemming from an incident at a property on Old

Hedley Road in Princeton.He’s alleged to have shot and

killed Robert Keith Wharton, 44, and Rosemary Fox, 32, and injured another man.

At a pre-trial conference Friday in Penticton, both Crown counsel Frank Dubenski and defence counsel Don Skogstad indicated they’re set for the five-week trial in mid-February, but

agreed that coming to terms on an agreed statement of facts before-hand would likely reduce the time required for the hearing.

B.C. Supreme Court Associate Chief Justice Austin Cullen, who will preside over the jury trial, called for one final conference

with the lawyers in early January to further refine the time estimate.

Koopmans, who is in custo-dy, was committed to stand trial following a six-day preliminary inquiry in February in provincial court in Penticton.

Accused in Princeton double murder will stand trial in February

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 58 (NICOLA-SIMILKAMEEN)

CHANGE TO MEETING TIME

Please note the next Regular meeting of the Board of Education to be held in the Princeton board room on December 10, 2014 will begin at 4:30 p.m. rather than 6:00 p.m.

Spotlight StaffPrinceton RCMP were called to

so many car accidents the weekend of November 29-30 “we couldn’t get to them all,” said Sergeant Barry Kennedy with the RCMP.

“They were calling and we were saying ‘we’re at this one now, if we can we’ll get there.”

Kennedy said the Princeton detach-ment had at least 20 calls involving rollovers and cars in the ditch over the course of the weekend, and numerous calls in the last week as well.

A particularly bad stretch of road has been Highway 3 East, where signs were erected last week warning motor-ists of compacted ice conditions.

“With the recent storms and now rain it is making the roads very slip-pery and icy…the slush is out there now kind of sucking cars into the ditch. For the next little bit we need to drive carefully.”

There were no serious injuries in the collisions reported to police. “Knock on wood, so far so good,” said Kennedy.

Storm weather created more accidents than police could respond to

No one has come forward with a credible lead after RCMP released these photos of the suspect in last Monday’s armed robbery at the CIBC in Princeton. Police are urging anyone with information to call the local detach-ment or CrimeStoppers

A year-end interview with Premier Christy Clark. For an extended version see the opinion section at similkameenspotlight.com.

TF: Are you still confident that we’re going to see a major LNG project approved by the end of 2014?

PCC: We’re still in negotiations with Petronas and Shell, so I don’t know if it will be by the end of 2014, but I’m hoping in the next few months.

[Days after this interview, Petronas announced a delay in their investment decision until 2015.]

TF: I talked to a couple of SFU climate miti-gation specialists, and they agreed that it’s unlike-ly to the point of impossible to have a major LNG industry and still meet Gordon Campbell’s ambitious greenhouse gas target of a 33 per cent reduction by 2020. What do you think?

PCC: I think that we may prove them wrong. Many of these facilities, not all of them, will be partly or fully electrically pow-ered up, so that reduces those impacts, and there’s going to be a real incentive to invest in new technology to minimize that as well.

I think the bigger picture is what really matters, which is that in shipping 82 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas to Asia, we help them get off coal and other dirtier sources of oil, and that is the biggest contribution that we’ve ever made to reducing climate change.

TF: Ontario and Quebec have taken a page from your book. They have seven conditions for an oil pipeline, Energy East, which involves conversion of gas pipelines and taking Alberta oil to the East Coast. What do you think?

PCC: I think they took our five conditions and elaborated on them. So you’ve got British Columbia, Alberta, now Ontario and Quebec, all signed on to some version of the five conditions. And of course Enbridge and Kinder Morgan as well.

TF: What about the conditions they have added?

PCC: One of the things they say they want to protect against is a shortage of natural gas coming to Ontario and Quebec. These are the same two provinces that have put a moratorium on extracting natural gas. They want to make sure that we do it here, good enough for us to do, and send it to them, but they won’t do that them-selves. I look at their last two conditions, and I roll my eyes a little bit.

TF: All the way to New Brunswick, they’ve basically bought the anti-hydraulic fracturing myth?

PCC: Yes. Somehow they all watched an American mockumentary or whatever you call it, and believed it. Here in British Columbia we do fracking better than anywhere in the world. It is the gold standard.

TF: Finance Minister Mike de Jong says we have a surplus estimated at more than $400 million for this fiscal year, and he suggested that much of that would have to go to pay off deficits from previous years. Of course the opposition is interested in welfare rates and in particular ending child support clawbacks. What’s your view?

PCC: Like any family that’s been through tough times, the first thing you need to do when you get back to finding a job and mak-ing an income again, is to pay off your credit cards. And that’s what we’re going to do.

We are going to see if we can find ways to improve some of the programs over time, but can’t do that until we can afford it. It’s typical, the NDP want us to spend the money before we have it.

BC ViewsTOM FLETCHER

Some consequences of impaired driving are just easier to get your head around than others.

Death, for example, is fairly black and white. Annually in British Columbia 86 people are killed in accidents involving impaired driving, and 29 of those deaths – on average – occur in the Southern Interior.

Strangely, when people think or talk about impaired driv-ing they hardly ever address the worst case scenario. When friends leave a bar, merrily jingling their keys, no one says: “Hey buddy maybe you shouldn’t drive, you might die hor-ribly in a car crash.” If anyone has the courage (and few do) to address the elephant on the sidewalk they are liable to say something like: “Why don’t you take a cab. You don’t want to go through one of those roadside checks and get caught.”

It’s not cool to talk about death. Getting nailed by the cops though – that’s a sexier conversation.

And it’s the reason BC’s December CounterAttack pro-gram, which was launched for 2014 last week by the RCMP, is such a crucial part of impaired driving enforcement. By implementing roadside spot checks, police are literally trying to save people’s lives by scaring them to death.

Because nobody wants to lose a driver’s license. In some cases it could mean losing a job as well, or a spouse and fam-ily, or the respect of a community.

Impaired driving legislation across Canada can best be described as a dog’s breakfast. There are federal laws and provincial laws and it can seem like they are constantly being amended, proposed, passed or struck down.

They are, in fact, hard for a layperson to understand – especially if he or she has been drinking.

According to ICBC the holiday season is the second most likely time of the year to meet an impaired driver on BC roads, and it’s the only time you are going to meet the December CounterAttack program. A review of the law is timely.*

The federal Criminal Code states it’s a criminal offence to operate a motor vehicle (whether in motion or not) while impaired, which includes driving with a blood alcohol con-tent of more than 80 milligrams of alcohol in one hundred millilitres of blood (0.08 BAC) or impairment by a drug.

If arrested, prosecuted and convicted under the code, consequences are determined by a judge.

Provincially, BC roads are controlled by the Motor Vehicle Act. If an officer has reason to believe that a driver is under the influence of alcohol he or she can request a breath sample using an Approved Screening Device.

So if you had a beer and you smell like beer; you take the test.

If you have a digital reading of between 0 and .049 your blood alcohol level is below the “Warn” range. You may be subject to a 12-hour driving prohibition if you are in the graduated licensing program.

But let’s say you had two beers at the party. You take the test and your blood alcohol level is over .05mg/100ml. Your driver’s license is seized immediately, prohibiting you from driving for three days. Your vehicle is impounded for that time and you are responsible for towing and storage costs. You pay an automatic $200 administrative fee, and you have to apply to have your license re-instated.

It’s worse if you have three or four beers, worse if you actually fail the test.

If your blood alcohol level exceeds .08 or if you refuse to provide a breath sample, you are giving police a choice. An officer may issue you a 90 day Immediate Roadside Prohibition (which is exactly what it sounds like), your vehicle is impounded for 30 days and the administrative fee is set at $500. You may also be referred to the Responsible Driver Program or the Ignition Interlock Program.

The police may choose, however, to charge you under the Criminal Code. If that’s the case you receive an immediate 24-hour driving suspension, you are detained at a police sta-tion for further testing and you are thereafter issued a 90-day Administrative Driving Prohibition. If you are found guilty in federal court (and almost everybody in those circumstances is) the consequences include a minimum $1,000 fine, a driv-ing prohibition and possible jail time.

Hitting a roadside spotcheck after a party is pretty scary isn’t it?

Then again, so is dying horribly in a car crash. - AD

The real fear

Similkameen Spotlight Wednesday, December 10, 2014 www.similkameenspotlight.com A5 NEWS

I used to read a lot of books on how to be happy.

That didn’t do much good. Expecting to learn happiness from a book is like expecting to learn from a book how to be taller, or have different color hair.

One thing that sticks out from that time though, is a book that listed the top ten gen-erators of stress. The author also correctly labeled stress for what it is; a body’s and mind’s response to change.

Among the top ten stressors of western living were losing a loved one, moving house, going to prison, and Christmas.

Christmas was actually identified as a greater stressor than jail time, and I think that’s because if you are going to the slammer you at least know someone else is in charge of the food.

Christmas for all its sentiment and joy is indeed a stressful season. It is stressful mostly, for women.

There are times when it’s easy to believe that our handed-down Christmas traditions and treasured season rituals are all just a product of an ancient and twisted misogyny.

I do not have a girlfriend of any age who doesn’t look completely stressed out by December 24th and appears equally and totally exhausted on New Year’s Eve.

That’s because in most homes the list-making, present-buying, wrapping, social planning, pageant-going, food shopping,

baking, meal preparation, card-sending, decorating and clean up fall to the woman of the house.

In these homes the male of the species has one holiday task to perform – and guaran-teed, as sure as reindeer fly, he will stumble through the back door, arms full and sweat on his brow exclaiming “You would not BELIEVE the line up at the liquor store.”

For women who struggle likewise I offer the follow-ing advice: refuse delivery of Christmas stress. When it arrives on your porch pretend it is covered in stickers that say “Do No Open ‘til July 25”, and put that box on a shelf in the garage.

It’s easy for me to say, now. For the first time I am spending Christmas 3,000 miles away from most of our friends and family. While there are people I miss dearly, espe-cially at the holidays, these circumstances are also surprisingly freeing.

I’m not juggling obligations. There is no debate about where we spend Christmas Eve, which side of the family we visit and when and who is invited for Christmas morning brunch. I am accustomed to cooking so many holiday meals that years ago my own favorite Christmas dinner became cold turkey and

stuffing sandwiches, with lots of mayo and iceberg lettuce, served with a large glass of Pinot Grigio and consumed in the bathtub, after everyone had gone home.

We are also not “doing” presents. Moving five people and a dog across the country is an expensive venture. Further, when the DeMeer boys arrived in British Columbia they insist-ed life here was not worth living without ownership of complete and expensive salmon fishing “set-ups.” I bought them in

August, and as the happy clerk rang in those purchases I hummed jingle bells. Our daugh-ter who lives in Ontario gets an airplane ticket and that is Mom and Dad’s present to themselves as well.

With this new perspective I feel – a little bit like Cindy Lou Who – the whole culture of Christmas wish lists quite superfluous. I ought to have seen it earlier, in those years when I went half-mad trying to make sure I had bought “enough” for Christmas. I’d trudge home from the mall, throw all the purchases on the bed, make piles for each child and then panic when I realized there was one pile that was bigger than the others, or just one that was smaller. I’d go back to the mall and the whole ridiculous pattern

repeated itself until the piles slid off the duvet and onto the bedroom floor. Then I worried obsessively I had bought too much.

One memorable year, approaching mid-night Christmas Eve, Mr. DeMeer and I were watching It’s a Wonderful Life and struggling to assemble “the big Santa present” – one of those large game tables that has foose ball, air hockey, and tiddlywinks, and by February would be simply another household reposi-tory for laundry.

The table top, when it came out of the box, was cracked on one side, completely useless and there was no way it could go under the tree. Mr. DeMeer tried to comfort me, saying there were so many other presents that no one would notice or mind. But I couldn’t sleep that night, thinking Christmas was ruined for lack of a big Santa gift.

The next morning there were so many other presents that no one noticed or minded.

Christmas 2014 I may put small treats in stockings for the DeMeer children. I will cer-tainly donate to the local Christmas hamper campaign. Ashamedly this is not something I have always done in the past. We may gather with new friends over the holiday season and it’s quite likely I will make Christmas brunch and dinner for my family.

I will be having cold turkey and stuff sandwiches with a glass of Pinot Grigio.

But I will be enjoying it at the dining room table.

Girlfriends: refuse delivery of Christmas stress

ANDREA DEMEER

With a degree from the Emily Carr School of Fine Arts, how could the outgoing Director of Area G possibly have had the under-standing and practical experience to deal with the difficult issues confronting the RDOS? This is a question we might be tempted to ask about Angelique Wood.

Living on the same street, two doors from her home, I’ve had the opportunity to observe her at fairly close range. Professor Ashley Montague, formerly of Rutgers University, has said, “if you want to know what a person is going to do, don’t ask them what they believe. Observe what they do.” After being her neighbour several years, I’ve concluded that although the lady is certainly a visionary with ideas, she has a distinct pragmatic streak as well. She is quite capable of chop-ping her own wood, attending to plumbing problems, and building a work shop.

Over a cup of hot ginger tea at our kitchen table, I asked Angelique what had motivated her to get into politics, what had surprised her, what she had learned.

Prior to coming to Hedley she worked at the Museum of Anthropology at UBC, one of the biggest in Canada, largely devoted to aboriginal and ethnic art. She also sold aboriginal art for 7 years.

When she bought a small home in Hedley in 2005, it wasn’t her inten-tion at first to live here. However, she found Hedley increasingly alluring. After deciding to make this her home, she got involved with the museum. She painted the basement floor and installed glass shelves in the Tea Room. In 2007 she joined the Fire Department and got her air brake endorsement.

Turning to her time in the RDOS, she said, “I came to the role

thinking that most politicians must be corrupted. I found though that I was working with 17 individuals who cared very much about their communities. Many were brilliant in their careers. They came with ideas to improve things. There was an atmosphere of respect.”

Over time she came to the realization most people don’t feel anyone is listening. To counter this, she and fellow Hedley resi-dent Kim English created a forum. They invited speakers from other communities, politicians from the Similkameen Valley and interested citizens.

“We brought together a lot of grass roots leaders,” she said. We wanted them to understand how to communicate with elected officials. We wanted to get people think-ing, and talking to each other. We wanted them to be aware of what was happening in the rest of the universe.”

She emphasized that “we need to nurture each other and make our organizations strong. People need to feel safe enough to express their views.”

I have sometimes seen Angelique up very early in the morning, doing yard and garden work before attending to RDOS affairs. She feels a compulsion to get things done. It was a surprise to her that the wheels of govern-ment turn very slowly. “I learned that even working 40 to 70 hours per week, I could not speed up the functioning of government. Getting agreement of stakeholders takes time. It’s important to stay focused on what you want to accomplish.”

She reflected on this a moment and then added, “ A lot of what you do as a politician is listen. Often when people have a problem, they are frustrated. Sometimes they begin with yelling. It takes patience to wait for them to calm down.

Then we can begin working on their issue.”

“Where did you make prog-ress?” I asked.

“We signed a protocol agree-ment with 3 of the 4 Indian bands,” she replied. “We wanted to open lines of communication between the bands and the RDOS. We came

to understand we need to work together.” She said the USIB is considering signing.

Angelique also cited develop-ment of a joint tourism strategy as an important step. This agreement includes both Area G Indian bands, Keremeos, Princeton and areas H,G and B.

What was gratifying? This ques-tion triggered an emotional moment and she picked up a kleenex. “The most gratifying thing,” she said, “was the number of people who have come and said ‘thank you. You did a good job.”

Exiting director reflects on three years of accomplishments

Angelique Wood, exiting Area G director, makes her home in Hedley. She said she feels gratified by the number of people who have thanked her for a good job in the past three years.

Highschool gives a cheer for new sports squad

Bob MarshMeet the new cheerleaders: Captain Hailey Darby, Co-captains Haley Anderson and Kyley Barbeler and members Katie Bartlett, Thyme Callihoo, Sarah Nelson, Travis Fedun, Cristina Martin, Shelby Bothe-Nylund, Laresa Luko, Sae Karstensen, Jodi McIntosh, Kami French and Shay Krem.


Megan Pateman remembers cheerleading for Princeton Secondary School as a great experience that was both an opportunity to dance and a chance to “build a second fam-ily” with her cheerleading team members.

That’s why when she and another former graduate, Tasha Ferdinand, were approached by a student about reviving the school’s cheerleading program, she jumped right in.

The cheerleading team at PSS was dis-continued when Pateman,19, was in Grade 11. Last week the new school cheer squad, coached by Pateman and Ferdinand, per-

formed in public for the first time at the school’s girls’ and boys’ basketball games.

“It actually went pretty well,” Pateman said in an interview with The Spotlight. There are 14 members on the cheer squad, 13 girls and one boy. “We didn’t have tryouts. If you came out you got a position. We figured we should give everyone a chance who wanted to do it.”

Pateman said the team represents a big commitment, as it practices a minimum of three times a week and team-building activi-ties are also on the schedule. “It’s kind of hard to round of up 14 people and get them all to do the same thing at the same time,”

said Pateman.On Sunday eight cheerleaders and both

coaches turned out to The Chamber of Commerce’s Light Up Festival. By handing out hot chocolate and popcorn they earned $160 in donations, enough to purchase one complete cheerleading outfit.

The team is currently using two different sets of uniforms, and only has nine sets of pompoms.

Pateman said cheering squads get closer than most sports teams because the team members need to feel absolute trust. “ I think it’s because we throw people up in the air and you are pretty much trusting someone to

throw you and catch you before you smack your face on the ground.”

Pateman said she orginally joined cheer-leading hoping it would help her overcome a natural shyness. As she is now both a former Princeton Ambassador and BC Ambassador contestant, with special honors for public speaking and town promotion, it appears to have paid off.

The highschool teachers and other sports teams have been very supportive of the new squad, said Pateman.

“I just wanted to give youth today that same opportunity.”

Princeton Crisis Assistance is in desperate need of items for older children this Christmas.

About 60 to 75 children receive gifts through the hamper program each holiday season.

Gifts are collected for children up to 16 but whenever possible older teenagers also receive pres-ents.

Although it’s more popular for

people to drop items for smaller children in the boxes boxes and bins setup in area businesses it’s most difficult to provide gifts and clothing for the teenagers.

Anyone wanting to donate for the tweens and teenager crowds are encouraged to do so right away.

For teenage gifts the Princeton Crisis Assistance Society is in

need of items like arts-and-craft kits, makeup, cosmetics and body washes (for both boys and girls), hair accessories (hair dryers, curl-ing irons, mousse, brushes), ear buds, portable bluetooth speakers, and gift cards.

For a more detailed list of items in need visit the Princeton Crisis Assistance Society thrift shop.

Andrea DeMeerWhile the Christmas craft show at Princeton Secondary School is a longstanding tradition in town, it was the first year of exhibiting for Ed Staples and his wife Nienke Klaver, who experienced a good day of sales of their handmade pottery and photographs. “We’ll be back next year,” said Nienke. The highschool auditorium buzzed all day Sunday as crowds moved among the vendors selling chocolates, soaps, candles, purses, jewellery and home made bread.

Christmas chamber dinner

Andrea DeMeerAbout 70 people attended the annual Chamber of Commerce Christmas dinner last Thursday evening at the Princeton Legion. The event is designed for businesses to get together with their teams and enjoy food, music and prizes. Thomasina Murdock, of Thomasina’s on Bridge Street, and June Holland, had a wonderful time.

Andrea DeMeerAll four of Princeton’s councillors took the time last Thursday to support the Chamber of Commerce and attend the annual Christmas dinner. Rosemary Doughty and Kim Maynard enjoyed some conversation before feasting on a delicious buffet prepared by the Legion that included turkey and all the trimmings.


Posse line up changes made with future in mindAndrea DeMeerSpotlight Staff

It’s fair to say it was a week of mixed emotions and results for the Princeton Posse as a line up shuffle saw the departure of the team’s point leader Colton St. John, the acquisition of two new players, and a loss and win in weekend home play.

The team announced last Tuesday that St. John was traded to the Comox Valley Glacier Kings in a multi team deal.

“We became a better team today, staying true to our goal of being a tougher team to play against, while setting ourselves up for the future both short term and long term. Today was meant to improve our club not only in the short term, but to continue to make us moving forward,” said head coach Bill Rotheisler in a release to the Spotlight.

“Despite only being here for half a season he made an impact much greater. Moving Colton was the hard-est thing I have had to do as a General Manager, but was necessary to facili-tate our other moves.”

There’s a decided emphasis on size with the additions to the Posse ros-ter. Jamieson Ree is a 1997 6’2” defensive player. “He’s very skilled,” said Rotheisler in an interview. “We believe we have three of the best ‘97 D-men around. So now we have eight defense and our idea was to strengthen in that area and that’s what we’ve got to do to beat Osoyoos.

Brandon Schaber returned to the Posse following his second stint at the Junior A level. “He’s got about a 6’1” frame on him and not only can he shoot the puck and he is skilled

he’s extremely physical and he com-petes hard….that’s just his personality. Even though he doesn’t have a letter because he’s coming in late in the season he’s definitely a leader on the team right now.”

Rotheisler said the shuffle wasn’t just about acquiring size and muscle, but about changing “how you use it…I don’t mean tough in the fist-a-cuffs sense. I mean tough as in winning battles. We just want guys who are tough on the forecheck and simply tough to get around.”

Both additions played Friday’s home game against the North Okanagan Knights when the Posse came up with a 4-2 victory. Connor Sloan was star of the game with two goals, while Captain Kurtis Klinger also contributed two. Assists were awarded to Trevor Pereverzoff, Eden Dubchak and Brandon Workun. Bailey Stephens turned away 24 of 26 shots in net.

Fortunes reversed for the Posse Saturday night against the Fernie Ghostriders – in the early minutes of the second period– when the hom-eteam gave up a lead to lose 5-3.

“We basically gave them five goals,” said Rotheisler. “We played hard and we then we gave them five goals…They got their goals on situa-tions that didn’t exist by playing the we play or played the night before.”

It was a two-point night for Star of the Game Brandon Schaber with a goal and a assist. Destin Robinson and Trevor Pereverzoff each scored, and Kurtis Klinger (2) Konnar Dechaine and Jamieson Ree all had assists. Stephen Heslop made 19 saves on 24 shots.

Bob MarshThe Posse’s Keith Comte goes head to head with the Fernie Ghostriders Friday night in a 4-2 hom-eteam win. The week-long line up shuffle was all about positioning the Posse as a bigger, stronger and more aggresive club.

Andrea DeMeerSome people are determined and some people are just plain crazy....You decide. Joey Dekker is a familiar face in downtown Princeton as he deliv-ers here daily for Purolator. Last week, even as temperatures dipped to -30 Dekker was comfortable in his running shoes and shorts. “I made a bet with a guy 22 years ago. Neither of us have put on pants since.”

Princeton lights up downtown with holiday fun

Bob MarshMiranda and Lance Bolanga got a chance to visit with Santa Sunday afternoon at the Princeton Light Up Festival.


CAPRICORN: Capricorn, you are riding high and looking to share your good fortune with others. Make the most of this chance to improve the lives of those around you.

AQUARIUS: Aquarius, you have an idea about how to tackle a difficult obstacle, but someone crosses your path with a different agenda. Perhaps there’s a way to work together.

PISCES: Pisces, avoid open conflict without being a pushover this week. Find the middle ground and try to understand another’s perspective.

ARIES: Aries, although you are full of excitement this week, rein in some of those feelings so you can focus on the tasks at hand. Use your energy to your advantage.

TAURUS: Taurus, motivation may not be strong this week, so begin with some menial tasks around the house and build up to bigger plans. Eventually you will find a groove.

GEMINI: Gemini, try to avoid focusing on just one issue for too long. Sometimes you simply must trust your instincts and forge ahead anyway. Let past experience guide you this week.

CANCER: Cancer, avoid the temptation to take on too many responsibilities this week. If you don’t, you might not get much done. Think before you accept more work.

LEO: Financial matters are looming and a decision must be made, Leo. Don’t be overcome with anxiety, as all you need to do is carefully examine your finances to come up with a solution.

VIRGO: Spontaneity beckons, Virgo, even though you are a careful planner who puts a lot of thought into your decisions. Overthinking is more hassle than it’s worth this week.

LIBRA: Someone may catch you off guard this week, Libra. This person will bring a welcome surprise, so look forward to this unexpected encounter.

SCORPIO: Back up your promises with decisive action, Scorpio. That’s the only way to prove to others that your word means something and you are committed to honoring your commitments.

SAGITTARIUS: There may be more to the big picture than you are seeing, Sagittarius. Gather the facts before you jump to any conclusions. You may just see things from a different perspective.
