Princeton votes to not vote on council
Andrea [email protected]
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 candi-dates 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 satisfac-tion 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 posi-tion in Regional District H; Bob Coyne, Jamie Frandsen and Charles Weber.
Penticton has a record-breaking slate of candidates for its municipal election including a three-way mayoral race and
25 people bidding for seats on council. In Keremeos Mayor Manfred Bauer is being challenged by Martin Meznies, and there are seven people running for council. Eight people in Kelowna are competing for the mayor’s job, there are 31 hopefuls vying for eight council seats and ten people seeking four positions on the school board.
Hugo Rodriguez, president of the Canadian Association of Journalists and a municipal affairs specialist, said the situation in Princeton is unique in his experience. “It’s kind of a knock
on democracy, that you would have so many seats go unop-posed for two of your most important levels of government, town council and school board.
“As soon as you step off your property or turn on your tap you are interacting with your municipality. If you have children in school you are interacting with your school board everyday. For two things that are so important to the way you live your life and the way you experience everything around

be so few people interested in helping lead those two govern-ments.”
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 sup-port for any initiative that may come down the road.”
Returning councilor Doug Pateman said he has “mixed feel-ings” about being acclaimed.
“It’s nice that I don’t have to go through the stress of a cam-paign 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 candi-dates meeting.” Pateman was first elected to council two and half years ago in a by-election trig-gered by the death of Mayor Fred Thomas.
According to Hope, the past few years have been politically turbulent in Princeton. The gener-al 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 nega-tive thing. I thought there was lots of activity. Everyone had opin-ions 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-
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 “disap-pointed” 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.”

Princeton is one step closer to realizing its dream of an aquatic centre following a successful meet-ing 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 commu-nity 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 com-plete 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 fol-lowing 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 esti-mated to be $8 million, and coun-cil 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 current-ly the mine’s taxes are funneled through the province.
Armitage, who is vice presi-dent of human resources at Copper Mountain Mine, said that company is very supportive of the develop-ment.
“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-
es to see have the employees, well qualified people, and their families benefit.”
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 identi-fied an aquatic centre as a high priority.
Three years ago the establish-ment of an aquatic centre as a joint project between Princeton and the Regional District was defeated in the municipal government refer-endum.
New tax dollars will fund Princeton’s aquatic dreams

VICTORIA – Three years ago, long-time chief and band administrator Sophie Pierre sought an extension of her term leading the B.C. Treaty Commission and gave a warning. The federal and provincial government should start taking this long and costly effort seriously or “shut ’er down.”
Last week Pierre wound up her sixth and final year as chief commissioner on a slightly more hopeful note. This year, the Tla’amin Nation in the Powell River area and the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon had their treaties proclaimed by Ottawa.
They join the Maa-nulth First Nations on Vancouver Island and the Tsawwassen First Nation in leaving behind the Indian Act and the courts to get on with self-government. Tsawwassen in particular has moved ahead aggressively. Its shopping centre development near the ferry terminal is one of the largest commercial projects in the province right now.
All of these treaties were negotiated despite multiple overlap-ping territorial claims around them, and similar progress has been made with the Tsimshian First Nations on the North Coast and elsewhere.
The need for aboriginal people to work out their overlapping claim issues between themselves was the focus of the commis-sion’s 22nd annual report. In it, former chief commissioners Miles Richardson of the Haida Nation and Steven Point of the Sto:lo Nation added their influential voices, urging aboriginal commu-nities to consider them shared territories, rather than clinging to ancient tribal rivalries.
Another hopeful sign is that after seven years of commissions and studies, the federal government has finally given its negotia-tors a mandate to negotiate fisheries. This is the main reason why the Tla’amin waited five long years for Ottawa’s blessing after their treaty had been hammered out.
This year’s landmark decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, recognizing Tsilhqot’in Nation title in the remote Nemiah Valley,
has also got the attention of Victoria and Ottawa. Pierre noted the “flurry of activity” by Premier Christy Clark in seeking reconciliation, which will culminate this month with a formal apology for the hanging of Tsilhqot’in chiefs 150 years ago.
Pierre said this court ruling “should destroy any lingering thoughts that this issue is not of the utmost importance, and provide the necessary investment, both financial and time commitment, to reach satis-factory conclusions.”
That’s the good news for B.C.’s thorniest histori-cal problem, the lack of treaties across most of the province.
It’s also becoming clearer that the Tsilhqot’in ruling is unique. It’s unlikely to be repeated by most
other First Nations, even if they are willing and able to spend the years and millions to enrich lawyers in pursuit of it.
Here’s the bad news. As of this year, the B.C. Treaty Commission has paid out $627 million to First Nations to support treaty negotiations. Most of that is in the form of loans, which are to be repaid out of the cash settlements that Ottawa contributes to settle modern treaties.
Pierre acknowledges that some communities are close to com-pleting treaties, but their debt has climbed to near what Ottawa is offering. This would leave them free but broke.
Others are just “spinning their wheels” with no real hope of achieving a treaty, Pierre said. The commission is calling for an “exit strategy” for these communities, starting with loan forgive-ness that would allow them to pursue economic activity.
There are First Nations, Westbank and Osoyoos prominent among them, which are thriving without treaties. Haida and Klahoose have developed successful forest products businesses as they move toward self-government.
Federal and provincial governments must recognize the suc-cesses, and the failures.

LETTER WRITING POLICY
The Similkameen SpoTlighT welcomes letters to the editor that are of interest to our community. Letters critical of the newspaper and its editorial content are particularly welcome. Whatever the subject, there are a few basic guidelines to follow before The Similkameen SpoTlighT will publish your comment.
• Letters should be typed or neatly written and present the issue as clearly and briefly as possible. (Maximum of 350 words)
• All letters must contain the name, address and signature of the writer, and a phone number where they may be reached during business hours.
• Anonymous letters will not be published and pen names may not be used, except in exceptional circumstances at the discretion of the editor.
• The editor reserves the right to edit for length, clarity or reject letters over matters of libel, legality, taste or style.
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 meet-ing 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 advi-sory 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 priori-
tize its time and resources?Without an election, nobody knows.Council must be diligent in providing tools and imple-
menting 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 con-tinue 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 coun-cilors 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 con-fidence in the new people just brought on board.
However no one should forget that people get the govern-ment 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 consul-tation is hard work.
And four years is a long time.-AD
Council must consult

Similkameen Spotlight Wednesday, October 15 2014 www.similkameenspotlight.com A 5 NEWS
Princeton, I have something to confess.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 talk-ing 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 referenc-ing that. “Just popping out to the Castle for lunch.” It’s one of the many things I feel in common with Princess Kate Middleton. )
When it comes to deer the Castle Resort is much like Marineland in Niagara Falls, Ontario. For those who haven’t been, Marineland is a large theme park where you can observe majestic and awe-inspiring sea creatures languish in aquariums and pools for a $43 gate fee. Marineland also has a deer farm, and you can wander through, dispensing overpriced feed pellets. One of my earliest memories is visiting Marineland and having to be airlifted out of the deer farm in order to escape being trampled by raven-ous animals.
Back to the Castle and again in my defence, this deer was starving. She had sad eyes and very visible ribs. She also had two fawns that appeared strong and healthy. I am in sympathy with all careworn mothers who nurture strapping young.
Doug cautioned me about shar-ing this story in print. Feeding deer is illegal, and technically I could face charges.
Bring it on. I would argue the solidarity of motherhood in the land’s highest court.
On day one mama deer literally cleaned out the DeMeer fridge. I started by tossing tomatoes, then broccoli, celery, carrots, apples and cheese cubes. Eventually I made peanut butter sandwiches
and she ate them from my hand. It was extremely moving.
I became convinced I had found my spirit deer, a deer with a message for me. I don’t know yet about BC but in Ontario people are very in tune and connected with wildlife and nature – I mean, just look at Marineland – and we believe in spirit animals. It is a highly credulous province,
I floated the spirit deer idea to many
people, got some strange looks, and was told point blank more than once that I am an idiot and my so-called spirit deer was just using me.
I said I hoped she would come back.Everybody promised she would.And they were right. Spirit deer shows up every morning at
about the same time. She brings her children and her friends. They peer through the french doors of the cabin if I don’t happen to be outside. They recognize my car.
I cannot afford to support a spirit deer family and sometimes it is a little unnerving. The spirit deer stand by the door and refuse to move. They stare me down.
Motherhood issues aside it’s possible Doug Pateman and all the pamphlets have a point.
In any case I am now paying religious attention to all Bear Aware literature.

ANDREA DEMEERANDREA DEMEER
Art Martenslivingsignificantly.ca I highly respect the
political science and sociology professors who gave me an edu-cation at SFU. They were learned individu-als, 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 innova-tion 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 unantici-pated 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 appetiz-ing shoots were sprout-ing out of the soil in the garden. Possibly even more compel-ling, the garden was off limits, and this she could not tolerate. All that first afternoon she patrolled along the out-side of the fence. With the Cleopatras marching behind, they looked like determined, hardened cons, seeking to escape from prison.
The following morn-ing 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 gen-tly threw them over the fence. They had squeezed through a nar-row opening between the fence and storage shed. A quick fix. I was considerably mollified by their thoughtful gift of three beautiful brown eggs.
Same story the next
morning. They were in the garden and again I evicted them. In the afternoon Linda saw Lonely Hearts run toward the fence at breakneck speed, then blithely soar over. “Clip their wings,” people said, and that day we clipped the right wing of each girl.
For almost two weeks Lonely Hearts devised creative means of penetrating the fence. Her favourite trick was to poke her head through one of the small openings in the fence and work the wire with her neck, patiently and persistently stretching it until she could slip through. When Linda went to the garden to
harvest her basil, the girls had already thor-oughly 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 strate-gies mirror the words of Jack Canfield in “The Principles of Success.” Canfield suggests we “operate outside the world of conventional-ity 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 dimin-ish the imaginations and ambitions of the vast majority of people.”
This describes Miss Lonely Hearts nicely. Like the intrepid indi-viduals 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 consistent-ly at the personal and community level, could we develop more fulfill-ing 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.”

To the editorThe Princeton Health Care
Steering Committee is pleased to report that Princeton and Area will have six locum physicians coming to assist our practitio-ners between now and the end of December. The locums aregen-eral practitioners who will be pro-viding 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 cam-paign, you can help by provid-ing such things as home cooked meals, canning, gift certificates, lessons by skilled people (fly fishing, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, etc.).
Please phone Lori Thomas at the Chamber of Commerce (250-295-3103) if you’d like to make a contribution.

Groceries and liquor will be available together next springTom FletcherBlack 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 gen-eral merchandise and “big box” stores as well as convenience stores, according to a minis-try 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 cur-rently restricted to relo-cating no more than five
km from their original location, but that restric-tion 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 partner-ship 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 sys-tem “strikes a balance of
added convenience for consumers and support for B.C.’s business sec-tor, while at the same time respecting health and public safety con-siderations.”

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 col-lapsed Aug. 4.
E n v i r o n m e n t Minister Mary Polak said the water results showed “slightly” ele-vated levels of alumi-num 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 infor-mation related to health and safety of area resi-dents has been made public, but she is com-plying with a request from investigators not to release inspection reports until multiple investigations are com-plete.
Polak released an Oct. 6 letter from B.C. Chief Inspector of Mines Al Hoffman, who is supervising one inves-tigation of the dam fail-ure. 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 investiga-tions by tainting evi-dence of persons yet to be interviewed or re-interviewed,” Hoffman wrote.
Imperial Metals issued a statement last week in response to a Vancouver newspa-per 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 settle-ment of loosely com-pacted 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.
Government refuses to release Mount Polley inspection reports
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.
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 Re-sponse Form to Town Hall no later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, November 14th, 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 re-quest 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. 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 couple of weeks now, the con-cept 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 light-ing. Stained ceiling tiles were painted over and walls were also given a fresh coat. Much of the flotsam and jetsam was removed in the pro-cess as were old, 1970s orange (uncomfortable) chairs and miscella-neous 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 peo-ple 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 percep-tions.
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 senti-ment got me thinking.
How willing am I to accept mediocrity? I tend to be more obses-sive 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 disheart-ening to walk through a big box store and see the shoddiness of stitch-ing and seam allow-ances 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 par-ticle board finished with a layer of paper printed to look like wood. The
doors often hang crook-edly 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 rea-sons for buying such things are nearly always about money, conve-nience or time. Or are they? I’m afraid for me it’s my short-sighted-ness 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 fight-ing 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 move-ment towards excellen-cy 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 pursuit and purchase of quality never causes regret

The Princeton Posse gave thanks on the weekend for back-to-back wins against the 100 Mile House Wranglers and the Kamloops Storm, moving ahead to second in the Okanagan divi-sion 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, record-ing 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 out-shot 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.
Posse sneaks into secondBob Marsh
The Posse had only 17 shots on net versus 100 Mile House Friday night but made 7 of them count. A thousand bottles of beer in the tent, a thousand bottles of beer…Volunteers hauled away truckloads of empty bottles Sunday as part of the Princeton Posse’s major fundraising project. The team collects and returns bottles year round, earning about $14,000 annually.
There are only 100 tickets on sale for a chance to win a barbe-cue from Ace Hardware. Tickets are $20 each and all proceed from the raffle will go to the Princeton Posse. The barbecue retails for $499, and tickets are selling at Ace Hardware on a first-come first-served basis. The draw will be made Wednesday at the Posse home game against North Okanagan.

To the editorThe 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 pres-ent memberships as they come due. Marie Jacobs has graciously taken on the task of organizing the meetings and the taking of min-utes. 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 ever-greens 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 con-tact... Vic Bartel at 250-295-7592 or email [email protected].
Edna Blomme
Riding club always looking for new members
On a recent trip Mike Jacobs led the Similkameen Valley Riders to heights of 7200 feet.

THUMBS UP, THUMBS DOWN! Thumbs down to the
person who smashed a liquor bottle on the sidewalk in front of the Spotlight office
Sunday night. The broken glass was a
danger to pedestrians – including children and animals – until it was cleaned up.
If you have a “Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down”, or want to be our “Smile of the Week”,
give us a call at 250-295-3535 or drop by the Spotlight at 282 Bridge Street.
