A tarp blocks the view of the inside of a car behind the Sandman Hotel in Princeton where a man apparently committed suicide the afternoon of May 24. Delta Police have been called in to investigate the incident because it happened in front of police officers. Story on Page 9.

Fraser-Nicola MLA Harry Lali told a loud group of protesters outside Princeton Hospital that doctors aren’t coming to town because they can’t practice what they learned in school. “Doctors and health care professionals are under utilized in small communities because the government strategically pulled out services and put them in other areas,” he said. Doctors want to practice what they learned in medical

school, including performing surgeries and delivering babies - practices Princeton Hospital no longer does, he said. More than 150 people gathered outside the hospital on May 22, holding signs saying “Save Our Hospital: Accidents Happen,” “Beware of Falling Standards,” and “We All Need 24/7 ER.” Princeton Hospital emergency department will be closed

from midnight to 8 a.m. Monday to Thursday, Interior Health Authority announced at the beginning of April. Many residents thought the hospital would be restored in a year, but Princeton Hospital administrator Susan Brown said it will now take a least a year for changes to happen. Interior Health is trying to attract a new doctor to Princeton, a job the authority admits is extremely difficult. Rural towns are experiencing health care shortages because of the amount of time new doctors are willing to work, said Interior Health president Robert Halpenny.

Making dining out just a little bit easier It is now easier than ever to make healthy choices when dining out with the recent launch of the Province of British Columbia’s Informed Dining program. Featuring more than 300 restaurant outlets in British Columbia, the program publishes nutritional information and allows diners to view the information in a format similar to that of a nutritional guide on products at the grocery store. All you have to do is look for the Informed Dining logo at participating restaurants. “British Columbians have made it clear they want information to help them make informed choices about what they and their families are eating,” says B.C. Minister of Health Mike de Jong. “With Informed Dining, we are partnering with B.C. restaurants to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.” Some of the participating restaurants include chains such as The Boathouse, De Dutch, A&W and Little Caesar’s, and stand-alone restaurants such as H.A.V.E. Cafe in Vancouver, Mountain Eagle Books in Smithers and Joseph’s Coffee House in Victoria. With people in British Columbia eating a meal in a restaurant approximately 10 per cent of the time, it’s never been more important to be able to source out healthy options. With the new program, calorie and sodium information is prominently highlighted for all regular menu items, while other nutrients, including carbohydrates and fat, are also noted. The program also gives advice on daily calorie and

Excess weight can increase the risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and various cancers, so caloriecounting is an important part of a healthy diet. Eating too much sodium contributes to high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and kidney disease, making sodium another important piece of the healthy eating puzzle. “Healthy eating is a critical element in living a long and healthy life and avoiding cardiovascular disease,” says Gavin Arthur, vice-president of research and health promotion for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. “The Informed Dining program takes a positive step forward in providing people with information they can use in making informed choices while dining out.” The program is voluntary, but the provincial government is

encouraging every restaurant to join the initiative and make such information available. “We want to be part of the solution in making healthy choices, easy choices in B.C.,” says Vice-President of the Canadian Restaurant and Foodservices Association Mark von Schellwitz. “This program has the potential to help restaurant patrons become more conscious about what they are eating – it also shines a light on those establishments already providing menu nutrition content while encouraging other restaurants to follow suit.” The provincial government has been working on this program since 2010, and has given restaurants several options for disclosing nutrition information, including a menu insert, a poster or a brochure. “I am proud that we have about 300 outlets across the province signed up to participate in this important program,” says Ian Tostenson, CEO and president of the B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association. “I know that other business will continue to learn more about Informed Dining and sign up – this information is what our customers have been telling us they want, and it is our responsibility to provide it.” The initiative is part of the Healthy Families BC campaign, created by the Province to promote healthy lifestyles and prevent chronic disease.

Evacuation alert cancelled Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

An evacuation alert announced due to the possibility of flooding in Tulameen has been cancelled. “Recent weather events have safely reduced the existing snow pack significantly,” said Regional District Okanagan-Similkameen chairman Dan Ashton. The remaining snow melt will not be a major

contributing factor in any further flooding, he said. However, he said residents should be cautious of extreme rainfall. The fire hall has information about potable water testing, and residents should consider having their septic tanks emptied to ensure they work properly, Ashton added. A boil water advisory will remain in effect for the entire summer. The evacuation alert was announced in April when Otter Lake rose more than three feet in two days.

Princeton ﬁre ban in effect Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Fires of any size are not permitted within the Princeton town limits from April 15 to Oct. 15. But campers in some areas around Princeton can still roast hotdogs and marshmallows. Fire restrictions for the Kamloops Fire Centre started on May 15. Campfires smaller than half a metre high by half a metre wide are not banned, but people should check with each community to see if other restrictions are in affect. Cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes are allowed. The restriction applies to the entire Kamloops Fire Centre, except Clearwater and Salmon Arm. Lillooet, Merritt, Vernon and Penticton fire zones will be under restriction. Prohibited activities include: • The burning of any waste, slash or other mate

rials (piled or unpiled) at a size larger than a halfmetre by a half-metre in size. • The burning of more than two open fires of any size at the same time. • Stubble or grass fires of any size over any area. • The use of fireworks or burning barrels of any size or description. This prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, but it does not apply within the boundaries of a local government that has forest fire prevention bylaws in place and is serviced by a fire department. Before lighting any fire, residents should check with local civic authorities regarding any current prohibitions. Anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition could ticketed $345 or, if convicted in court, be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail.

GENETICALLY MODIFIED - Neal Carter, president of Okanagan Specialty Fruits, said genetically modified apples have been taken to Health Canada seeking approval for commercial planting.

GMO apple grower hopes Health Canada bites Steve Kidd Penticton Western News

Apples naturally go brown over time once they are cut. But one Okanagan company says it doesn’t have to be that way.

Okanagan Specialty Fruits is a privately owned biotech company which has been using “advanced molecular biology tools” to switch off the gene that controls the enzyme that turns the white flesh of apples brown after being exposed to the air. Neal Carter, president of Okanagan Specialty Fruits, said it isn’t a huge modification; they are not adding any foreign genes to the apple, only turning off a single enzyme. After several years of development and testing, Carter said the apples are ready for introduction, and they have taken their Arctic apples to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Health Canada seeking approval for unconfined environmental release for commercial planting purposes and other uses. But long before approval, which Carter said may take as long as 30 months, they are facing stiff opposition from B.C. growers, who fear the introduction of genetically-modified fruit will harm the province’s reputation as a supplier of high quality fruit. While he extolls the benefit of non-browning apples — to growers, packing houses, retailers and consumers like the fresh-cut food sector — other growers aren’t so sure there is a need for the product, especially considering the possible backlash. “People have been eating apples for a long time and haven’t had an issue with them going brown,” said Kirpal Boparai, president of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association. And, he said, there is already an apple on the market that doesn’t go brown quickly. Ambrosia, a naturally-occurring crossbreed, shares that characteristic. Apples have a reputation of being pure and healthy, belonging to the same category as milk, according to Glen Lucas, BCFGA general manager. He recalls the backlash when a large milk producer and distributor began experimenting with genetically modified hormones being given to dairy cows. “We’ve seen this happen before, we don’t have to imagine,” said Lucas. The BCFGA has responded with two resolutions, one in January 2011 opposing the introduction of genetically-modified fruit and another this past January, advocating the mandatory labelling of genetically modified fruit. It’s a stance the B.C. government takes seriously, according to Minister of Agriculture Don McRae. While the apples are currently under review by federal agencies, B.C. citizens will have a chance to comment. “Whether we are trying to sell domestically or

internationally, its important that this region has the reputation it has today going forward,” said McRae. “Whether we are arguing for it or against it, we want to make sure we have the information first and make sure our argument is as solid as possible. We definitely look to people like the tree fruit growers to get their stance.” Joe Sardinha, a Summerland apple grower and past-president of the BCFGA, takes exception to the federal government stance that the apples will be evaluated from a science-based approach. That’s not enough, he said. “You’ve got to look at the economics. If the potential is there to ruin markets and turn consumers off our products, you have to look at that too. It goes beyond the science. There is a serious issue of market backlash,” said Sardinha. “From our perspective, we have made it most clear that we are worried about the market repercussions and implications of introducing genetically modified anything into this valley.” “The opposition is vocal and the people who like it don’t say much,” said Carter, who recognizes the BCFGA concerns but feels they may be out of proportion. “I am a grower, I don’t want to negatively affect the market,” said Carter, adding that he plans to introduce the apples slowly. “We want to dip our toe in with the Arctic apple. We’re not talking thousands of acres, we’re talking tens of acres.” Surveys conducted by Okanagan Specialty Fruits show that consumers desire non-browning apples and aren’t concerned about the genetic-modification. According to their online survey, most respondents would be interested in purchasing the apples, even after learning about how they were created. And, Carter continued, the modified apples are more healthy. The browning, he explains, is indicative of a breakdown process in the apple consuming vitamin C and anti-oxidants. By turning off the enzyme that causes browning, all the nutrition stays. “Not only are we preventing browning, we are preserving nutrition,” he said. “It actually makes it more nutritious. We’re preserving the good stuff.“ Currently, the CFIA is collecting public input on the Arctic Apple submission, which can be found at www.inspection.gc.ca. Lucas said the BCFGA has responded to the Arctic apple submission on behalf of the growers, but is encouraging individual growers and consumers to respond as well. The public input portion of the evaluation process continues until July 3, and the original submission can be found at www.inspection.gc.ca.

There is no question that the Federal Government provides certain levels of benefits and programs. However, these only go so far and the need is far greater than we are made to believe. The Legion is directly working with Veterans to transition them back to health and back into the community. In the absence of a tailored, responsive, and comprehensive continuum of care for our returning military, the Legion in BC/Yukon has been making a powerful, practical difference by offering one-of-a-kind programs, with life-changing impact.

These three programs are made possible by virtue of our ongoing fundraising. In 153 communities throughout British Columbia and Yukon, Legion volunteers contribute over 600,000 hours a year. More and more of those service hours are now focused on engaging the new generation of veterans and trying to help them transition back to their families. Legionnaires and Ladies Auxiliaries know firsthand that military families bear more than their fair share of the load when one of their own serves in the Canadian Military. We fundraise, we reach out, and we provide a second family of support for them. Many of our members are not military related themselves, but they are with us because they care.

Monster apples create buzz of public concern Staff Writer Penticton Western News

Apples have a long-standing reputation as a healthy food. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, as Benjamin Franklin is said to have put it. But the Frankenstein complex has an equally long, if not longer history. That’s the nickname given to the fear that man’s messing around with the building blocks of life will eventually create something that will destroy humanity. Bring the two together and you’ve got a problem. It’s hard to blame the B.C. Fruit Growers for their concern that the introduction of a genetically modified apple could ruin the reputation of the Okanagan as a source of high quality healthy fruit. And while Neal Carter, whose company has used gene modification to create a non-browning apple, certainly has his eye on the commercial return while extolling the benefits of his Arctic apples, there is one benefit that stands out. And, coincidentally, it’s the same as what made the apple’s reputation. Most people don’t care about a little browning, but it is also indicative of a breakdown of the apple’s nutritional factors. Take away the browning, and the vitamins and anti-oxidants stay. So, on one hand, we have growers wanting to preserve the reputation of their product as a healthy food and on the other we have an apple that retains its nutritional value for longer. Anyone see some common ground here? Consider too that growers have been practising genetic modification for centuries, albeit by the much slower selection and grafting methods. Caution is a good thing, especially when it comes to monkeying with genes. Extensive testing, that too. But allowing caution to grow into an unreasoning fear is never a good thing. If turning off an enzyme can preserve the best aspects of an apple, it shouldn’t be thrown away on account of ancient fear.

Time to abolish Interior Health Why is the Interior Health Authority being allowed to throw its weight around by doing its best to kill off small towns? Small town residents pay taxes the same as big cities. Interior Health Authority should be abolished along with anyone connected with it. Princeton General Hospital was func-

tioning quite well before IHA started with its bullying tactics by shutting down hospital departments at its whim, causing physicians and surgeons to pack up and leave to practice elsewhere. It’s a disgrace what’s happening in our town and you people (the IHA) couldn’t care less, yet the federal government can spend $1.5 billion a year to fight a war

that’s never going to end, look after/take care of illegal immigrants that are allowed to stay here, while small town hospitals are facing huge cutbacks because of not enough funding. There’s something wrong with this picture. Kay Goglin Princeton

Okanagan national park articles ﬂawed In the two articles on the proposed South Okanagan-Similkameen National Park, Joe Fries and an unidentified staff writer (Penticton Western News) explain that Environment Minister Terry Lake “cited a lack of public support when he confirmed the province had pulled the plug on the idea.” Fries refers to a 2007 survey where 39 per cent of respondents supported the park while 19 per cent opposed it. Apparently Minister Lake believes that

“19 per cent against is a strong lobby” and that 39 per cent is “not at a high enough level for the government to impose something on the local area.” The articles fail to point out, however, that the recently released National Park Feasibility Assessment includes the results of two more recent surveys (2008 and 2010) which show that 63 per cent of local residents support the park and 26 per cent oppose it. I would also like to note that in the last

provincial election, Minister Terry Lake won his Kamloops-North Thompson seat by 47 per cent and his closest opponent received 45 per cent of the vote. Applying the same logic, I wonder if Minister Lake would agree that this percentage does not represent a high enough level of support to have him sit in the provincial legislature.

Open letter to Minister of Health from Princeton Dear Honourable Minister of Health Michael de Jong, We the residents of Princeton request that the Honourable Minister come to our community to address the growing health services crisis at Princeton General Hospital. Representatives of industry, community groups, and our local officials have all met with Dr. Halpenny and Interior Health officials yet no one from Interior Health can provide solutions to the situation with the Emergency Room closures. Dr. Halpenny and his team all agree that Princeton General should have 24/7 emergency room coverage but cannot provide the answers to bringing this situation to an end.

Princeton residents have been living in the shadow of emergency room closures since 2010. The only difference between those closures and the recent closures is that before we played a game of chance going to the emergency room. Now we know that Monday to Thursday there is no emergency room service after midnight and we take our chances on the hour -and-a-half drive along the highway to Penticton. We the residents of Princeton respectfully request that the Minister of Health come to Princeton, talk to the people here, ease our concerns and tell us that the ministry is working on solving the crisis facing rural communities like Princeton.

People are leaving our community. Families and seniors do not want to move to our community. We are in desperate need of immediate solutions. We understand how busy the minister is but we respectfully request that you meet with us by June 14. We also respectfully request that you provide us with at least one week notice so that we may book a venue large enough for the occasion. Thank you for your time and understanding of the urgency of the situation. We look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, The residents of Princeton (Submitted by Spencer Coyne, Princeton)

Baseball for all ages thriving in Princeton Baseball is thriving in Princeton right now. Every Monday and Wednesday you will see fields being used by children from the ages of 3 and up, as well as numerous volunteer coaches and parent helpers. This past Saturday a clinic was held to teach the kids different skills of the sport. Mr. Larry Robinson “stepped up to the plate” to come out and help, and it was a great success! Players were given a lesson in baseball as well as a lunch and a bouncy castle, donated by the Baptist

Church, all for free. Princeton Minor Fastball would like to give a big thank you to the following for making this day possible: Larry Robinson Mel and the Baptist Church The Town of Princeton for the maintenance on the fields. All of the coaches and volunteers who came out to help. This is a great season so far, and we hope to see even more kids come out in the years to come. Dawne Graves Princeton

Delta Police investigating Princeton shooting Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Delta police have been called in to investigate an apparent suicide in Princeton Thursday afternoon that took place in the presence of RCMP officers. As two Mounties approached a vehicle that had fled from them minutes earlier, a gunshot was heard and the man in the vehicle was later found dead.

There is no indication the RCMP fired their weapons, the Mounties said in a press release. The case was turned over to the Delta Police Department â&#x20AC;&#x153;in keeping with the RCMPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commitment to independent external review of cases involving serious injury or death.â&#x20AC;? The B.C. Coroners Service is also investigating. RCMP said that shortly before the incident, the man had been pulled over for speeding about 16 kilometres east of Princeton on Highway

3, but he drove off as the officer approached. Officers eventually caught up with the driver when his vehicle was spotted between the Sandman Hotel and Vermilion Forks Elementary, where the apparent suicide took place. Police officers were at the tapedoff area around the manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car late into the evening. The dead manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name has not been released. Princeton RCMP did not return calls before press time.

Permit given to mine 40 km from Princeton Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Huldra Silver has been issued a Mines Act permit for its Treasure Mountain silver mine, located 40 kilometres west of Princeton The mine is expected to yield 60,000 tonnes per year from an underground silver-lead-zinc mining operation. The ore from the mine will be processed at the Craigmont mine that operated from 1962 to 1982.

The project is expected to cost $12 million and provide 25 full-time jobs. Craigmont will receive a permit amendment, and 10 additional jobs will be created at that site. “Treasure Mountain is more positive news for B.C.’s mining industry. This is the fifth new mine permit towards meeting our government’s goal of eight new mines and nine expansions by 2015,” said Minister of Energy and Mines Rich Coleman. Huldra Silver president Ryan Sharp said the Mines Act permit is welcome new that

allows the company to move forward. Five new mines have opened under the BC Jobs’ Plan, including Copper Mountain Mine. Eight new mines will open and nine will be expanded by 2015, increasing mine-operation revenue by $1.6 billion. According to preliminary estimates, $76 million was spent on 33 different exploration projects in the Thompson-OkanaganCariboo area in 2011. The production value of B.C.’s mining industry was approximately $8.6 billion last year.

HEALTH CARE 24/7 industry needs an ER: Forestry manager Continued from Page 1. “There are a lot more physicians now not willing to work 24/7. A lot of women have children and work two to three days a week, and not on weekends. It’s a coverage issue,” he said. But Lali said health care problems are caused by lack of money, not by how much doctors are willing to work. “You’re going to hear this from IHA and from the government: It’s not about the money, it’s about the doctors. I tell them to their faces that this is a lie. It is about the resources and the money.” IHA is set up as a business model, so when money runs out health care is negatively affected, he said. Industry meeting Princeton business owners and managers had a closed-door meeting during the rally to discuss how the scheduled emergency department closures will affect them. The meeting was closed to media, but Weyerhaeuser manager Jeff Larsen told

the Spotlight the emergency department should be running 24/7 because of industry in Princeton. “We’re really concerned. We try our hardest to make sure there are no injuries, but it’s still a high risk industrial site,” Larsen said. Weyerhaeuser runs nearly 24 hours a day, so injured employees would have to travel to another community at least an hour away if they were hurt during scheduled closures. Copper Mountain Mine manager Bill Dodds told the Spotlight employees face a similar problem because the mine runs 24 hours a day. “We do everything we can, but there can still be an unfortunate accident. Our employees deserve proper health care,” Larsen said. Residents’ response While more than 150 protesters held up signs urging 24/7 emergency department care brought back to Princeton, others dressed in mock bloody bandages and casts

and carried crutches. “What we’re asking for is simple - we want 24/7 ER coverage to be reinstated to our community,” said Solana Allison, present of Save Our Similkameen, to the large group of people. “This isn’t something we see as optional, it’s mandatory.” Princeton resident Fred Krenn who was at the rally said he hasn’t seen a situation like this at the hospital for the 58 years he has lived in Princeton. “I had two heart attacks, good thing I had them while I was out of town. At the time I had them our hospital was closed and if I had been home I would have been dead,” he said. Judy Short from Princeton said Penticton Hospital is too busy to deal with patients from Princeton. “We all understand regionalization, but when you have a mine that just started and a mill that has just spent copious amounts of money to upgrade and become stable and with Penticton Hospital already working to capacity - why are they gutting this community at this time?” she said.

The Vermilion Trail Society invites you to their semi-formal 2nd Annual Dinner on the Bridge of Dreams

Tie-dye baseball

Saturday, June 23, 2012 commencing at 5:30 p.m.

A creative local lady has turned a passion into her own home based business. Princeton residents are becoming more colourful by the day thanks to the talented works of Nicki Regimbal McIvor. The Young Family and Friends baseball team asked McIvor to create team shirts that would make them pop while on the field. Mission accomplished, you certainly will not miss seeing this group. McIvor has a facebook page for viewing/ordering creations and she will have her wares set up during race day, June 29 at the Sunflower Downs Race Track.

RDOS plans public survey Staff Writer Similkameen Spotlight

The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen is conducting a telephone survey to see what residents think about their local government. Around 400 residents will be asked to share their opinions and ideas between June 1 and 14. Survey results will assist the Regional District to evaluate programs, improve services and set budget priorities, said board chairman Dan Ashton. The 15 minute survey is anonymous and will be conducted by Discovery Research. Questions include topics such as quality of life, service satisfaction, environment, communications, and fiscal responsibility. The results will be posted at www.rdos.bc.ca in July. “The results and analyses of the survey will provide the board and staff with information that will be used to make sound strategic decisions in a variety of areas, including service improvement and enhancements, annual budget planning and implementation and RDOS policy planning and development,” Ashton said. The participation of each randomly selected resident is important to the success of the survey, he said. The survey has an accuracy of plus or minus 4.9 per cent, he added.

Princeton hockey player goes North Michaela Garstin editor@similkameenspotlight.com

Submitted

Hometown hockey player Nic Yee.

Hockey called Princeton player Nic Yee up North - all the way to chilly Grande Prairie to play for the JDA Kings. After playing minor hockey in Princeton and later midget AAA in Penticton, the 20-year-old wanted to try somewhere new. He moved to Grande Prairie last year to begin his first year on the junior B team. “I heard good things about him, he tried out and made the team,” said Yee’s coach Kyle Chapple. Yee is a “rough and tough” defenceman, who doesn’t make a lot of goals because his main objective is to keep the other team from scoring. The Kings made it to the playoffs this year but were defeated in the second round.

When their hockey season ended, Yee helped coach the Grand Prairie Panthers women’s team to win provincials. “I’m trying different things, to see what I like - both playing and coaching,” Yee said. Yee is a “fitness freak,” whose teammates look up to as a role model for being in shape, Chapple said. Yee said he doesn’t take his leadership role lightly. “There are a lot of younger players on the team, so a couple older players and I took it upon ourselves to be the best leaders we can.” Next year will be Yee’s last year playing junior hockey because he turns 21. He hasn’t decided what he’ll do after. “I’m not sure what I’ll do after juniors. I’m going to finish that year and see what happens,” said Yee, who makes time to

practice, play and coach while also holding a full time job.

June 2012 CAPRICORN: Dare to be different, Capricorn, even in the face of adversity. People know you march to the beat of your own drummer and will respect you for it. AQUARIUS: Bar none, you’re the best person for the job, Aquarius. However, someone else wants a try, so give them the reins. Bigger challenges are headed your way. PISCES: Relax, Pisces. The painstaking part is over. It will be easy sailing from here on out. A financial debt is repaid in time for you to make a big purchase.

ARIES: How bad do you want it, Aries? Bad enough to work hard for it? Because that is what it is going to take. Don’t commit to that which you don’t really want. TAURUS: Patience grows thin at the office. Throw a little get-together to get everyone back on the same page. Don’t mistake a friend’s icy embrace for anger. There is far more involved, Taurus. GEMINI: Talk it up, Gemini. The more you say, the more support you’re likely to gather. A family member changes their tune rather drastically. Find out what’s up. CANCER: Get with the program Cancer. Folks are counting on you to do your part. A mix up in communication turns out to be a blessing in disguise. LEO: Use it or lose it, Leo. Admit you have talent and let it shine for others. Much prosperity will come of it. A phone call bears good news. Celebrate! VIRGO: Stop beating around the bush, Virgo, and give it to them straight. Your friend deserves the truth, no matter how brutal. A workspace could use a facelift. LIBRA: Your motto this week is the three R’s—reduce, reuse and recycle. Look for ways to be more environmentally friendly and it will ease some of those budgetary constraints, Libra. SCORPIO: Dinner out with friends uncovers a real need. Do what you can to fulfill it, Scorpio. You’ll have the resources and the time when you need them.
