“I was wondering if I’m going to die”

Info Centre on the move to downtown page 3

The survivor of a triple-shooting in Princeton testified he thought he was simply breaking up an argument between friends.

“I turned to go to the bathroom and the next thing I know my ears are ringing,” Bradley Martin said. “I realized half my body had gone numb. I looked down at my chest and there was blood.”

Martin paused and closed his eyes for a moment before continuing.

“I seen John Ike Koopmans sitting in the office desk with a gun glaring at me,” Martin said. “It was all flight, there was no fight. I was trying not to get a second bullet in me.”

Martin, a key witness in the trial of Koopmans, 51, took the stand last Wednesday at the Penticton courthouse. He survived the shooting alleged to have taken place at a property on Old Hedley Road on March 30, 2013. Robert Keith Wharton, 43, and Rosemary Fox, 32, were also shot and killed.

Koopmans is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.

Martin, who was living at the residence where the shooting occurred, said Koopmans arrived on the property and greeted Rosemary Fox with a hug at the door.

Martin said he had “thought they had made amends” for an alleged break and enter on Koopmans’ property. The jury heard Koopmans had blamed Wharton (who went by the name Keith) for the alleged break and enter and it had been discussed “many times” in front of him.

“He thought Keith had something to do with it,” Martin said. “(Keith) reiterated over and over he had nothing to do with it.”

Martin added that the pair often had debates about “friendship, dishonour and the break in.”

Martin recalled the events of that night when Fox and Wharton entered the master bedroom. He had been watching TV when he heard a conversation escalate to an argument.

Martin said he “considered them all friends” and

went to the bedroom to intervene and break up the argument, which he said was once again about the break and enter.

Martin said Koopmans had dirt on his face and told them he had just walked 50 miles to the proper-ty. Martin thought that was odd, and that Koopmans could have called for a ride. He said Wharton then got up to get the phone to see who was slandering him regarding the break and enter, and Martin turned to get a rag for Koopmans’ face to “break up the conversation.”

He testified that is when he was shot and fled the double-wide trailer, attempting to hide under a lean-to structure on the property.

“I was wondering if I’m going to die, wondering what the hell was going on.”

Martin said his dog started barking and that he thought it would give his cover away so he pro-ceeded to find help on Old Hedley Road where he was able to flag down a car.

Princeton resident Lisa N. Haigh testified earlier Wednesday that she had encountered a man who was barefoot, had blood on his arm and a dog with him on her way home from church.

Haigh said the man was “frantic” and that he was saying “He’s going to shoot me, he’s coming to kill me.”

Martin has since covered up the exit and entry bullet wound scars with a tattoo to “show closure.” He showed sprawling tattoos that covered his entire back.

Martin’s history with the RCMP was explored during the trial by both the Crown and the Defence. He was arrested for possession with the purpose of trafficking in Medicine Hat five years ago and also has two counts of theft under $5,000 on his record from 1984. He had also had previous run-ins with the RCMP that he said unfairly lost him his job at the Princeton Castle Resort.

Martin said he felt “neglected” and “alone” after the shooting that he said effected him both emotion-ally and physically. The trial is expected to continue into the next two weeks.

SNOWPATCH OPEN HOUSE

Andrea DeMeerSpotlight Staff

A new location for the Princeton Information Centre is one of the cornerstones of the town’s plan for driving new business.

The Information Centre, cur-rently operated on Highway 3 by the Chamber of Commerce, will move to the former municipal hall on Bridge Street sometime this spring, according to Jerome Tjerkstra, the councillor heading Princeton’s newly created econom-ic development portfolio.

The move will “bring business into town,” Tjerkstra said last week in an interview with The Spotlight. “It will bring in shoppers to support our downtown businesses.”

Tjerkstra said he could not com-ment on the costs of the move, but added the former town hall will “get a facelift and adequate park-ing” before the transition is com-pleted. “All the facets of this will be worked out.”

The Information Centre will become the responsibility of the municipality, while previously it was administered by the Chamber of Commerce and partially funded by a town grant.

Chamber of Commerce presi-dent Brenda Crawford told The Spotlight the move makes sense.

“ I think it’s an excellent strat-egy…it’s a better way to bring people into town which has always

been our goal.”Crawford said there are some

unanswered questions about how the Chamber – which owns the cur-rent Information Centre building and property – will move forward. She said the group is heading into a weekend session with representa-tives from the provincial organiza-tion to help facilitate a new plan.

“It’s going to give the building a fresh start and the Chamber a fresh start.”

According to Tjerkstra the addi-tion of the Information Centre is just one of the plans being devel-oped to promote downtown busi-ness. Those plans include beautifi-cation – for example with flowers and landscaping – as well as new signage.

“We are really building on the efforts of administrations in the past,” he said. “The only thing I can really tell you right now are the results we want to see; attractive storefronts on the main street with attractive lighting and signage.”

Tjerkstra said town council is also moving forward with a new focus on marketing Princeton’s industrial park, in hopes of attract-ing employers and ultimately grow-ing Princeton’s population. The tar-get investor is a business paying wages of at least $60,000 a year. “That’s how much it takes to sup-port a family.”

The business park is a 100-acre

site with 22 lots ranging in size from one to five acres.

“It’s a high priority because we’ve invested so much in it and we need to diversify.”

Part of a marketing strategy for Princeton includes revamping the town’s website to add both tourism links and a community profile to interest investors. “We’re just put-ting the finishing touches on that,” he said.

In past the industrial park was marketed through commercial real-tors, however the new plan is to cast a wider net in hopes of inter-

esting business that is migrating towards the Interior.

“At present we are formulating a strategy to reach potential buyers.” “Everything is moving east, from Vancouver to Burnaby, New West and Langley. It keeps moving east because the prices are so high. We are competitive for business that needs easy access to the mainland but can’t afford the high costs.”

Ongoing improvements to Highway 3 are very positive for Princeton, he added. “I would say building that Number 3 corridor is critical to the long term economic

development of Princeton.”Princeton is business friendly

and ready to work with investors, said Tjerkstra.

“There is a momentum building. We have a town council that’s moti-vated and on the same page and excited to work with each other….The message is we can-do and the town council will do everything in its scope to make it happen. We are pro growth. We are open for busi-ness and we are looking for creative individuals who can take an oppor-tunity and make it happen here.”

Information Centre headed for downtown

The body of a Surrey man was dis-covered by Princeton RCMP March 3 near Rattler Forrest Service Road.

The body was found using a police dog, approximately 2 kilometres deep in the bush and a police helicopter from Kamloops was called in to help complete the recovery, according to a RCMP press release.

Local police were on the look out

for the missing man, after being noti-fied the day previously by Surrey RCMP that he may be heading for the Princeton area and was believed to be suicidal.

The RCMP responded to a com-plaint from a logging truck driver that a suspicious vehicle – matching that of the victim – was parked along the side of the road.

Andrea DeMeerPrinceton Volunteer Firefighters, RCMP and area mutual aid departments were called to a fire at Weyerhauser Mill on Old Hedley Road early Monday morning. According to a police press release the blaze was limited to the interior of one building and all employees escaped without injury. The fire quickly grew in size but was completely extinguished by the local crew. The fire is believed to have started in a saw box. While the cause of the fire is not determined the release stated no crime or neg-ligence was involved.

Police dog used to recover body

Marlee RiceThe former municipal office on Bridge Street will be the new home of Princeton’s Information Centre and the move is expected to be completed this spring. The building will be renovated in the coming weeks.

Princeton RCMP is asking for the public’s help in solving three robberies in the past two weeks.

Two robberies occurred in the area on March 6, according to an RCMP press release. Sometime overnight thieves broke through a window at Shoppers Drug Mart

on Bridge Street and managed to steal $1,000 worth of mer-chandise. The same night some-one broke into the Nickel Plate Restaurant in Hedley and stole food. There was approximately $500 worth of damage to the property.

On February 26 thieves attempted to break into a business in the 700 block of buildings on Highway 3. While unable to gain access to the building, the culprit stole a car from the parking lot which was later recovered, aban-doned, in Penticton.

Help sought to solve rash of robberies

VICTORIA – B.C.’s new seniors’ advocate has issued her second report, and the media mostly ignored it.

When this new office was promised by a campaigning Premier Christy Clark two years ago, I suggested that B.C. already has 85 seniors’ advocates. They’re called MLAs, and inquiries go to their local offices.

Much to the chagrin of the opposition, Seniors’ Advocate Isobel Mackenzie’s mandate is not to pursue individual cases, and so she won’t be serving up a fresh assortment of horror stories to embarrass the government.

Instead, it is to look for “systemic challenges” and recommend ways to deal with them. The latest report is based on a survey of more than 500 seniors from around the province, and the key finding was not what she expected.

“We were surprised to learn of the lack of awareness among seniors, particularly low-income seniors, of government programs and the subsidies available to assist them,” Mackenzie said.

The survey found that 60 per cent of seniors living on $30,000 or less annual income didn’t know they are eligible for discounts on Medical Services Plan premiums. For income less than $22,000, the entire $864 cost of individual MSP premiums is waived.

Other frequently overlooked programs are a monthly rent subsi-dy called Shelter Aid for Elderly Renters (SAFER), grants for dis-ability modifications called Home Adaptations for Independence, drug cost assistance called Fair Pharmacare, property tax defer-ment and the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement program. Those older than 75 with income of less than $30,000 reported the lowest awareness of assistance designed specifically for them. But you don’t get these benefits unless you apply and show that your income qualifies.

The survey also found that the biggest fear of low-income seniors is that they won’t be able to afford to stay in their homes. See home adaptation, property tax and rent subsidy programs

above.Awareness and usage of the SAFER program

was lowest in the north and highest in urban areas, perhaps not surprising since the B.C. government exists more in theory than in fact in many remote places.

So what should the government do about this? Well, it could advertise these programs. The gov-ernment does lots of advertising, but not about old news like the SAFER program, which dates back to the 1970s.

Clark’s government did a whack of advertis-ing in the election year, 2013. Much of it was about the B.C. Jobs Plan, heavy on the hardhats

and blueprint-style graphics and arc welding and stuff like that.Then last year the government’s big ad campaign was around

the teachers’ strike, and the payments to parents to help with child care while teachers demanded twice as big a raise as all the other unions.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender is still bragging about the response rate for $40-a-day parental strike pay, which was snapped up by almost 100 per cent of eligible parents. This demonstrates that the government can indeed give away money with great effi-ciency, just by telling people how to get it.

The NDP’s version of seniors’ advocacy is to find the most tragic problems from complaints coming into constituency offices, and use those to ambush the government.

A popular choice is an elderly couple who have to be separated because their medical needs are too different to keep them in the same facility. TV news loves that one. People cry on camera and denounce politicians for being heartless, as if the health minister stayed up late plotting how to break their granny’s heart.

Maybe this seniors’ advocate wasn’t such a bad idea after all.

Seniors’ advocate strikes a chord

BC ViewsTOM FLETCHER

Parents prove

democracy works

Every so often – if you pay close attention – you can find an example of democracy in action.

So it is demonstrated with the recent Liberal budget, and the promise from the BC government to eliminate the claw back of child support payments to single fami-lies receiving income or disability payments.

The long-fought-for policy change puts $13 million a year back into the pockets of the province’s disad-vantaged families, and will better the lives of approxi-mately 5,200 children who live daily with the hunger of poverty, and the fear that accompanies uncertainty.

Taking well deserved credit for this progress is BC ACORN (Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now) that orchestrated an 18-month cam-paign to get the attention of legislatures.

They did it with the help of like-minded groups – including the Elizabeth Fry Association and Raise the Rates – and with the media playing a large role as stories appeared across all platforms exposing the per-sonal stories of parents struggling for simple survival for their children.

Call it a shame game. It was warranted, unrelenting, and ultimately successful.

Successful government lobbies are often perceived to be of a different nature. Professional spin doctors are hired, ad campaigns are purchased and political and financial support is leveraged.

Single parents on government assistance can’t afford to pay for help or advertising when they can’t afford to buy food and hydro in the same month. The poor are used to having the approximate political clout of unwashed socks.

So they did it the old fashioned way.BC Acorn led 11 actions over a year and half.

Members wrote letters, knocked on doors, set up phone campaigns, held house meetings and leadership work-shops. They organized on-line.

They staged actions at various social assistance offices across the lower mainland that resulted in meet-ings with government ministers.

They attended Question Period. They held press conferences.

On 2014, as their campaign picked up speed, they held a Poverty Potluck on Mother’s Day to highlight the inadequacy of the food bank diet that sustains so many single parent families.

In June of last year, the government relented and promised a review of the claw back policy that led to the announcement in the spring budget.

Beyond the simple humanity and common sense of not taking money away from single parents and their children – for not effectively penalizing a family because someone somewhere is paying child support – its actual breathtaking to know it works.

Democracy. Phone calls, letters, calling the paper and repeating

oneself over and over and getting louder and louder until someone in power simply has to listen.

Credit is due to ACORN and its allies, but also to Christy Clark and her government for coming to terms with a grassroots lobby.

It was a battle well fought, and well won. - AD

This year, like every year on March 8, Mr. DeMeer woke up grumbling about International Women’s Day.

Why do you need International Women’s Day? When is International Men’s Day?

This year, like every year on March 8, I responded that it is International Men’s Day every day – all year long.

It’s a special family tradition we look for-ward to, in the same way other couples might enjoy greeting each other on December 25 with a kiss and a “Merry Christmas, sweet-heart.”

The theme for this year’s event was Strong Women. Strong World. Improving Economic Opportunities For All.

In other words we’ve come a long way baby. But there’s a heck of a long way to go.

Look down. Look way, way, down under your feet. That is where sexism and misogy-ny in the workplace moved, after deciding it was too hot living up here in the same climate as political correctness.

Like cottonmouths in a swamp, you hardly ever see them and that makes them all the harder to fight.

There are still professions that remain almost exclusively male.

Sports reporting is a good example. Shortly after the last winter Olympics I was loung-ing in the newsroom thumbing through the Toronto Sun and came across a promotional ad for that company’s Olympic reporting team.

More than two dozen men with iPhones and cameras and laptops, and one woman.

One woman? The company sent ONE woman to cover the Olympics?

Without raising his eyes from his com-puter screen the sports editor remarked they probably needed somebody to write about ladies’ figure skating and the managing edi-tor casually noted she probably also made coffee.

Cottonmouths are everywhere if you know where to look. Only a couple of years ago, while working in Ontario, I was profession-ally chastised for losing my temper during a meeting about classified advertising.

A colleague across the table held forth about the “girls” in classifieds. The girls this, the girls that, if only the girls would do X,

Y or Z. In order to prevent the blood from eventually leaking out of my ears, it had to be said.

Look Dave, THEY ARE NOT GIRLS. They are women. They are professional women. Girls are prepubescent females and if you truly are employing a collection of 11-year-olds in the front office we have a big-ger problems in this department than Kijiji.

The next day I received a visit from my senior manager

who told me I’d made several people uncom-fortable and for the sake of my career I should dial down the feminism.

Feminism – don’t bring it to the office. Chauvinism, on the other hand, is like Master Card – accepted pretty much everywhere.

About the same time I was fortunate enough to attend a corporate leadership con-ference that included a day-long presentation by a noted industry professional who used clips from popular movies to illustrate his various points. The conference was informa-tive and entertaining even though all of the movies chosen to exemplify strong leader-

ship were extremely male – Master and Commander, Bull Run, Remember the Titans.

The Devil Wears Prada, a movie enshrin-ing every cruel stereotype conceived about female bosses, was the only film clip showcasing a woman and of course it was employed to provide a perverse example and give everyone a good chuckle.

Several days after the conference I sent the presenter a thoughtful email, thanking him for a good seminar and sharing some com-ments on his movie choices. I suggested that with a number of women in the audience, and some men who reported to women, in future he might consider including at least one posi-tive female leadership model.

The gentleman responded that I missed the point of his presentation. I replied that he missed the point of my email.

There are lots of people who don’t under-stand why experiences like this are frustrat-ing, sometimes painful, and represent very real challenges to women’s success.

It kind of makes you want to hold a few heads under the swamp.

Hope you enjoyed International Women’s Day.

Sexists are like cottonmouths, hiding in the swamp

ANDREA DEMEER

Inspiration and adventure come from following a dream Art Martens

livingsignficantly.caI admit, with a dose of embarrassment, it

was a foolish decision. Reflecting back , I shudder inwardly at what we did. I’m sure our parents shuddered then already.

Linda and I were young, newly married and happy in our relationship. She was a bank employee and I was a heavy equipment operator. We had bought a home on five acres, near the Canada-U.S. border. We were delighted to not be renting. There was only one significant problem. We both felt utterly unfulfilled in our work. On a Saturday in early May, 1967, at breakfast I posed a ques-tion that had percolated in my psyche for some time.

“How do you feel about what we’re doing?” I asked. She seemed to have antici-pated my query.

“I really hope I won’t be a teller the next forty years,” was her response.

“And I don’t want to be a cat operator for forty years,” I said.

That conversation ended with a seemingly ill-conceived decision. We gave notice to our employers and found a renter for our home. Two weeks later we loaded camping supplies and food into our chevy panel truck and set out along the Trans Canada Highway. Just a

couple of innocent, small town kids, looking for more from life. How to find more was definitely well outside our understanding. We didn’t even know where we were going.

That first evening we pulled the Chevy into a campsite near 100 Mile House. We quickly discovered our new sleeping bags were more suited to California summers than to this area’s minus zero temperatures. May in the Cariboo was not as pleasant as in the Fraser Valley. Even fully dressed, we shivered. A couple of weeks later we spoke with an elderly local realtor. In spite of our severely limited funds, he seemed to take an interest in us. “Meet me here tomorrow at 8 a.m.” he said.

The next morning, after an hour in his pickup on an unpaved road, we eased his canoe into the pristine waters of Sheridan Lake. By sunset, we had arranged to pur-chase the lot the realtor showed us.

We returned the next day and set up our tent. At about 5 the following morning Linda roused me, agitated. “I hear loud breathing,” she said. “Is it a bear?” I unzipped the flap of the tent and looked into the large eyes of several long horned cattle, apparently curious about this intrusion into their domain. The realtor had not informed us this was open

range cattle country. After breakfast I built a corral around the tent.

For nearly three months our only visitors were an overly bold black bear, a shrieking demanding squirrel, a curious cow moose and her calf, and the local rancher patrolling on his ancient dirt bike.

Our days on the shore of Sheridan Lake were taken up with physical work. Each evening, sitting around our campfire, we read a few pages of the biography of Madame Curie. As a university student passion-ate about scientific research, she existed largely on buttered toast and tea. Marie and her husband Pierre conducted research in a cramped storage room. During one phase of their experiments, the Curies, mainly Marie, treated eight tons of pitchblende to obtain one gram of radium. They could have sold it for $150,000 but chose to keep it for further research. Their commitment and sacrifice deeply stirred our imaginations.

Marie Curie’s tenacious pursuit of an elusive goal awakened in me a desire to further my education. Swatting at hungry mosquitoes and trying to avoid the smoke of our campfire one evening, I said, “I’d like to go to university, but I know we don’t have the money.” Without hesitating, Linda said,

“I could work.”A few days later, the black bear jumped

over my corral and damaged our tent. We broke camp and returned to the Fraser Valley. I enrolled as a student of Sociology and Political Science at Simon Fraser University. That was 48 years ago. Now my hair is the colour of snow and I have retired after many years of working with inmates in provin-cial and federal corrections and then with young offenders in Hedley. Because of Marie Curie’s example, our foolish decision had a good outcome.

BURNING OF LEAVES AND GREEN BRUSH

The Town of Princeton is advising residents not to burn wet leaves, thatch and green brush. Smoke from burning can create serious health problems. Wet leaves, thatch and green brush are potent sources of smoke when burnt. Thick bellowing smoke contains soot, dust and fine particulates that can cause serious health problems for children, seniors and people with respiratory issues. Fine particulates in smoke have been linked to increases in heart and lung disease and cancer. The Okanagan and Similkameen valleys can trap smoke causing a buildup of particulates. Residents have a number of ways to dispose of leaves, thatch and green brush. The Princeton & District Landfill can take, free of charge, compostable yard waste. Leaves can also be composted beautifully at home. Leaves are designed to break down quickly creating nutrient rich compost that can be applied to lawns or gardens.

LETS TALK—URBAN DEER URBAN DEER ADVISORY COMMITTEE

The Town of Princeton through the Urban Deer Management Advisory Committee has been working on a plan to manage the Urban Deer within the town boundaries. The Town of Princeton, the Urban Deer Advisory Committee, and guest speakers WildsafeBC’s Provincial Coordinator, Frank Ritcey and WildsafeBC Community Coordinator, Zoe Kirk invite the community to an open forum to discuss the Urban Deer within the town boundaries. DATE: March 31st, 2015 LOCATION: Riverside Centre 148 Old Hedley Theater TIME: 7:00 pm

The Similkameen Valley Planning Society was almost forced into a closed door meeting after Area G Director Elef Christensen inap-propriately questioned a contracted employee wage in public session.

Following a presentation from Andrew Stuckey, who is contracted to handle com-munications for the SVPS watershed plan, Christensen pointedly asked his hourly rate.

“You make $52 an hour right?” Christensen said.

Stuckey agreed.

Christensen went on to ask how many hours a month he works on SVPS projects and suggested Stuckey could bill the society for increased hours without approval and that directors have no way to know the amount of time he is working on projects.

On average Stuckey bills the society for 10 hours of work a month.

“It wouldn’t be very productive for me to do that (bill for more hours),” Stuckey said.

The brief exchange between the two men was ended by chair Manfred Bauer who called it “inappropriate.”

“It you want to talk about staff and wages

like that we must move into a closed meet-ing,” Bauer said. “Andrew does great work for us and this isn’t appropriate.”

Christensen apologized to Stuckey.The men had several exchanges prior to

the wage discussion concerning a communi-cations committee Stuckey has struck.

The committee will include two at large members and two members with a water background.

The committee will aid Stuckey in devel-oping a communications plan to make the public more aware about the watershed plan.

The committee will also include a member

of SVPS and Stuckey.Stuckey proposed that each member

receive a $25 per meeting honorarium to pay for travel costs as members come from across the valley.

Christensen questioned the role of the committee several times and the need to pay an honorarium.

After discussion Christensen along with all SVPS members present voted to allow for four members of the public to be part of the committee and to pay the $25 honorarium.

KAMLOOPS - The Kamloops Fire Centre will continue to experience an early drying trend. The Wildfire Management

Branch urges the public to be cau-tious with any open burning due to the increased wildfire risk.

The grass and small shrub layer is unseasonably dry and the Kamloops

Fire Centre is already experiencing fire behaviour and conditions normal-ly not seen until April. Dead grasses have dried out quickly due to the lack of snow cover, increased temperatures and wind.

Anyone wishing to light an open fire must pay attention to changing weather conditions and follow all burning regulations in order to reduce the number of preventable wildfires.

While FireSmart activities are encouraged this time of year to miti-gate interface wildfire risks, there is a safe way to conduct backyard burning. Homeowners and industry personnel are encouraged to visit the Wildfire Management Branch website - www.bcwildfire.ca/Prevention -consult the B.C. FireSmart manual and take the following precautions:

* Ensure that enough people, water and tools are on hand to control the fire and prevent the fire from escaping.

* Do not burn during windy condi-tions. Weather conditions can change quickly and the wind may carry embers to other combustible material and start new fires.

* Create a fireguard at least one metre around the planned fire site by

clearing away twigs, grass, leaves and other combustible material.

* If you are planning a large burn, consider conducting smaller burns around the perimeter beforehand to create a fuel break and help stop the fire from spreading beyond its intend-ed size. Each of these fires should be kept small and must be completely extinguished before starting a new fire.

* Never leave a fire unattended.

* Make sure that your fire is com-pletely extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before you leave the area.

Before conducting a burn, check with your local fire department, municipality and regional district to check if there are any open burning restrictions or bylaws in effect.

If you are planning to do any large-scale industrial burning or conduct a grass burn over 0.2 hectares (Category 3 fires), you must obtain a burn regis-tration number ahead of time by call-ing 1 888 797-1717.

Always check the venting con-ditions before conducting an open burn. If venting conditions are rated “Poor” or “Fair”, open burning is restricted. The venting index can be found at:http://www.bcairquality.ca/readings/ventilation-index.html

In British Columbia, the Wildfire Act specifies a person’s legal obliga-tions when using fire in or within one kilometre of forest land or grassland. If an outdoor burn escapes and causes a wildfire, the person responsible may be held accountable for damages and fire suppression costs.

Anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345 or, if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

The Kamloops Fire Centre would like to thank the public for its con-tinued help in preventing wildfires. If you see flames or smoke, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or dial *5555 on your cellphone.

For the latest information on cur-rent wildfire activity, burning restric-tions, road closures and air quality advisories, visit: www.bcwildfire.ca

Unusual spring creates early fire hazard

Deb LyonRoy Harker was the winner of a new barbecue at the Princeton Fish and Game Association dinner and fundraiser held Saturday night at the Princeton Legion. He was congratulated by Katrina Springer.

Spotlight StaffLast year was one of the busiest in the history of

the Princeton Volunteer Fire Department, accord-ing to the annual report delivered to town council recently.

Fire Chief Eric Gregson – who is retiring from the department after 33 years – reported his volun-teers responded to a total of 111 calls including four structure fires, a gasoline tanker over a bank and a 183 hectare grassfire.

Those calls resulted in fire losses to the com-munity of $900,000, compared to $250,000 in the previous year.

The most significant dollar loss occurred when three Princeton homes, two sheds and three vehicles were destroyed at a cost of $300,000.

As the department also participated in 21 com-

munity events such as the fall fair and parades, there were a total of 138 callouts consuming 329 people hours, up from 62 call outs and 87 people hours in 2013.

Additionally there were 225 fire code inspections in 2014, and the department acquired new equip-ment including a 2,500 Gallon 840 PTO Tender, new office computers, a chop saw, six pagers and eight lengths of 4-inch supply hose.

Newly elected officers for 2015 are Chief-John Laursen, Deputy Chief-Rob Banks, Training Captain-Jamie McLeod, Captain-Ed Atkinson, Captain-Rob New, Lieutenant-Kevin Sill, Lieutenant-Scott McCarron, Secretary / Treasurer-Don Miller, Safety Committee-Katie-Jo Sutton, Trevor Sutton, Courtney Bush, Curtis Bush, Carson Zieske.

Fire damages hit $900,000 last year

Posse a big part of off-ice community

Bob MarshThe Princeton Posse participated in solemn Remembrance Day services in 2014. In addition to marching and attending, team members also laid wreaths at the cenotaph.

Bob MarshPrinceton held its first Terry Fox Run in four years in 2014. There were 109 participants and approximately 20 per cent wore the Posse colors. Organizer Holly Fenwick said she was over-whelmed when the entire team and coaching staff turned out to make the run, just hours before playing – and winning – a game against Chase Heat.Bob Marsh

While the weather didn’t co-operate with Light Up last year the Princeton Posse cer-tainly did, turning out to prove they don’t need sticks to have fun in a game of pool noodle hockey with Princeton youngsters. They also took turns sitting on Santa’s knee.

Princeton Posse makes friends and fans

Bob MarshA new addition to the Posse’s off-ice roster this year was Doug Pateman, who took to the airwaves as the announcer for Posse webcasts. Above he visits with goalie Stephen Heslop at one of the team’s many “meet the player” events following a game. Heslop was the team’s MVP for the 2014-2015 season.

The local arena was packed with spirited fans during the playoffs against Osoyoos. There was no doubt who Taila Easy and Cheyanne Dovauo were supporting.

Bob MarshIf there was a contest for the loudest Posse game of the year the award easily goes to the Wednesday matinee played the week before Christmas break and attended by students from Vermillion Forks and John Allison.

End of the trail for Princeton Posse coach Bill Rotheisler

Andrea DeMeerSpotlight Staff

The Princeton Posse executive has parted ways with coach and GM Bill Rotheisler.

A week after the Posse was eliminated in the first round of playoffs, Rotheisler was given notice the team would not renew his contract for a third year, and would pay out the balance of this year’s agreement.

The Posse finished the regu-lar season one point behind third place Kelowna, with a record of 22 wins, 24 losses and 3 ties.

In an interview with the Spotlight after receiving the news Rotheisler said he was surprised by the decision, but he stands firm behind the team’s accomplish-ments.

“We did what we set out to do,” said Rotheisler, pointing to two years of rebuilding the Posse that began with unprecedented player turnover but resulted in what he believes will be an unprecedented amount of talent returning to the team for 2015-2016 and record-breaking upcoming season.

He said his goal in two years of coaching in Princeton was to build a positive team culture with a foundation rested on player character as well as talent.

He said he had no explanation for his termination.

In a letter to players, which he shared with The Princeton Spotlight, Rotheisler wrote:

“I hope you know that I had full intentions of seeing this through to what I believe is a big next season. I also feel that it is impor-tant to mention that although I am genuinely heartbroken from this news, I have no resentment towards anybody upon hearing of this decision. This is the right of the organization to choose which direction they want to go and not unlike trades, it is the business of hockey whether I agree with it or not. There is no room or time for cynical people and situations and it is important not to compromise the potential that exists for you guys next season.”

The letter also stated: “We have seen this organiza-

tion grow at an unprecedented rate. From two players affiliated to a record thirteen. From a “mom

and pop” type organization to the well-respected entity it is today. I spent some time trying to search for regrets since I heard the news, and what I realized is that I have none. Every decision I made: I knew what I was doing and I did for you guys and regardless of my fate, I believe the act of continually making conservative decisions to ensure personal fate is borderline cowardly.”

When contacted by the Spotlight Randy MacLean, hock-ey operations manager for the club, said the executive wishes Rotheisler well, but added it was difficult to comment while details of the transition are still being worked out.

In a written statement then pro-vided to the newspaper MacLean said:

“Further to the press release issued the Princeton Posse board of directors have decided to not accept the option year on Coach Rotheisler’s agreement. The deci-sion was made at this time in order to enable both parties to better find alternatives for next season.

Coach Rotheisler brought a tremendous amount of energy and dedication to the organization and we wish him every success in his further career.

In addition to acquiring a suit-able successor, the organization is focused on running a highly suc-cessful spring evaluation camp. At this point at least seven local players are expected to vie for spots on next season’s Posse ros-ter.”

Andrea DeMeerPrinceton’s director of infrastructure Kevin Huey says sink holes like the one that disabled this garbage truck on Tulameen Avenue last Thursday are fairly rare occurrences in the area. In this case the ground’s depression was caused by the weight of the truck, and an underground leak from a water pipe.

By Tom FletcherBlack Press

There will be more fishing spots and trout to catch in B.C. lakes and streams this year thanks to a $3 mil-lion increase in provincial funds for the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C.

Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced Monday the province is making good on a decade-old vow to direct all its fishing licence revenue to the society. That brings the annual rev-enue from $7 million to $10 million.

Since the society took over fresh-water fisheries management from the environment ministry in 2003, it has focused mainly on stocking smaller lakes with trout. The extra money will allow for expansion to larger lakes and rivers, to improve access to fishing as well as assess stocks and enforce fish-ing regulations.

The society stocks hundreds of

B.C. lakes with rainbow, kokanee and eastern brook trout, mostly to provide catchable fish for recreational pur-poses.

Society president Don Peterson said B.C. took a risk when it trans-ferred responsibility for recreational fishing to a non-profit organization, but independent status has allowed it to set up innovative programs such as Learn to Fish and Fishing in the City.

He said 250,000 residents and visitors go fishing in B.C. each year, supporting 1,000 fishing-related busi-nesses and an estimated 7,000 jobs.

“Our stocking program supports about 50 per cent of all the fishing activity in the province, and now fish-ing on stocked lakes in B.C. is the best it has ever been in the history of the province,” Peterson said.

Lake stocking projects planned for 2015 can be found at www.gofishbc.com under “fish stocking reports.”

Lakes get more money and more trout


CAPRICORN: Capricorn, pressure to complete an important project will find its way to you this week. No matter how quickly you need to get things done, calmly approach the tasks at hand.

AQUARIUS: Resist the instinct to keep your feelings bottled up this week, Aquarius. Get your thoughts out in the open, and you will instantaneously feel much better.

PISCES: Pisces, you will be very productive this week as you benefit from a new outlook. Plan ahead for some magic.

ARIES: Aries, give a loved one the benefit of the doubt before jumping to conclusions. This beloved confidante deserves your trust and ardent support.

TAURUS: Taurus, expect some powerful emotions to surface when you meet a new person this week. You may be immediately drawn to this individual, so embrace the attraction.

GEMINI: Gemini, the week starts off on a bumpy note but quickly turns itself around. By Friday, you will have a smile on your face and be ready to make the most of the weekend.

CANCER: Cancer, some long weeks have left you physically and emotionally wiped out. Take some time out for yourself in the coming days and resist the urge to jump back into the fray too quickly.

LEO: A romance at work begins to heat up, Leo. This may be the perfect opportunity to find your match. Just don’t let feelings get in the way of productivity.

VIRGO: A problem dominates your thoughts as you work to find a solution, Virgo. Until you pull away and focus on something else, you will not be able to see the answer clearly.

LIBRA: Libra, you have a difficult decision to make, but forge ahead with what you think is best. Keep a level head and weigh all of the consequences of your decision.

SCORPIO: Friends jokingly suggest you have psychic powers, Scorpio. They are put to the test this week when you suspect something is amiss. Rectify the situation in due time.

SAGITTARIUS: Avoid taking a big financial risk this week, Sagittarius. Hold on tight to your money and resist the temptation to spend any money for the time being.

The organization got its start 23 years ago, with an original investment of $200,000 from the founding donors, which included the Penticton Rotary Club, the City of Penticton, HSBC and the Vancouver Foundation. In 1994, their first granting year, the CFSO distributed $2,600 to six organiza-tions.

Today, the grants come from investment earnings on endowment funds that have grown to nearly $10 million. In 2015, the CFSO plans to award $340,000 in grants to charities throughout the Okanagan Similkameen.

“Next year, we will be well over $2 million total grants. That will be a significant milestone,” said Aaron McRann, CFSO executive director.

It’s an incredible story of growth, especially considering that the group only passed the milestone of $1 million in grants in 2012. The work of the CFSO doesn’t stop with managing the fund and distributing grants.

“We have been transition-ing over the last number of years beyond simply grant making. We are helping donors and commu-nity members with a lot more in the philanthropic world,” said McRann.

That includes supporting pro-grams like the Random Act of Kindness day, and 100 Women Who Care, which McRann describes as a

giving circle combined with social interaction. They also sponsor the Vital Signs report, which surveyed communities throughout the South Okanagan and Similkameen on 10 issue areas from arts and culture to the environment and work, “tak-ing the pulse of our communities to provide citizens with a sense of where we’re at and where we might be going.” And through the Smart and Caring communities pro-gram, the CFSO has branched out to help communities create their own investment funds.

“We now have investment funds in every community in our region,” said McRann. “That has been a huge success and is really the future of the foundation in a lot of ways.”

Foundation to award 340k in area grants this year
