Copter plucks hiker from Mount Frosty

Staff photo illustration

A Cormormant helicopter team from RCAF 442 Squardon in Comox was called to Manning Park Saturday night to rescue a hiker in distress on Mount Frosty. The nighttime winch rescue – performed in inclement weather – saved local GSAR from spending hours having to cut through debris on Windy Joe Trail. Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

A local crew led a dramatic mountain rescue in the early hours of Sunday morning at Manning Park. Princeton Ground Search and Rescue was called at 9:30 pm Saturday, after a young hiker fell into medical distress on Frosty Mountain approximately 7 km along Windy Joe Trail. The Royal Canadian Armed Forces 442 squadron – the only team in Canada qualified to perform nighttime helicopter winch rescue – was dispatched from Comox, BC and despite darkness and poor weather conditions lifted the woman to safety. “We were really lucky they were able to pull it off in the weather,” GSAR manager Randy Rorvik told The Spotlight. “If they had been unable to do it we would have had to walk

in, snow shoe in.” Before being able to stage a rescue Rorvik followed the protocol of consulting an Avalanche 2 Technician. “If it’s a winter rescue nowadays that’s what’s at the back of my mind when I get a call, avalanche risk.” Rorvik said a ground rescue would have taken at least six hours “in and out” and been difficult because of the “horrible” conditions of the trails that were snow covered and rendered nearly impassable in places because of downed trees and branches. The woman, in her mid-20s, was hiking with two companions when she suffered medical difficulties due to diabetes. With no cellular phone service available in Manning Park, one of the hikers walked approximately two hours to make the call for help.

“I think they took on a little more than they were expecting,” said Rorvik. “They were prepared for a day trip they were not prepared for an overnight.” When the diabetic patient was unloaded from the helicopter early Sunday morning she had significantly recovered and declined to be transported to hospital. By that time the weather had deteriorated to the point that the armed forces helicopter could not return to its base. Seven members of Princeton GSAR were on the scene over night, assisted by more than 20 additional rescue personnel from Oliver-Osoyoos, Penticton, Hope and Manning Park. Rorvik said they were prepared to reach the hiker using snowmobiles and chainsaws to clear the trail. The Princeton GSAR responds to approximately eight calls a year and has 22 volunteer members.

Legion holds night of installments and recognition Communications Committee Similkameen Watershed Plan The Similkameen Valley Planning Society invites members of the Similkameen Valley community to apply for two at-large positions on the Similkameen Watershed Plan (SWP) communications support committee. This is a volunteer position for a term of one year. The SWP Communications Team is organized under the authority of the Similkameen Valley Planning Society (SVPS) Steering Committee. The Team’s primary function is to assist in planning communication-related activities to support the Similkameen Watershed Plan. The watershed plan will deliver collaborative water management in the Similkameen Valley and foster water conservation as a permanent ethic among its residents. The committee is expected to meet as needed, but no less than every two months. A time commitment of roughly two hours per month is expected. Persons interested in the SWP communications support committee should deliver a letter of intention detailing interest, experience and other relevant information for the selection committee to review.

Council takes deer issue by the antlers Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

Bob Marsh

The grand prize winner of December’s Posse fundraising draw took his good fortunate and gave back to the local squad. Hugh Desjardins of Penticton won a riding lawn mower and asked the draw’s sponsor Ace Hardware to sell the prize and give half the proceeds to the Posse. The draw was held December 31st. Chloe Littlejohn won the snow blower and Carol Johnston won a children’s bicycle. All prizes were donated by Ace Hardware and 100% of ticket sales went to the team. Above, Desjardins and Susan Robinson, owner of Ace, shake on the deal.

Youths start fire at arena Police were called to the Princeton arena January 29, after two youths started a fire under the bleachers. The youths had only lit a small piece of paper on fire, which then began to create a lot of smoke. The youths put the fire out but not before it caught the

attention of an arena employee. Police warned the youths about the dangers of lighting the fire in a confined area and how quickly it could get out of control. The parents were also notified of the events. No damage was reported at the arena.

Over the past two weeks, Princeton RCMP have received three reports of pick up trucks being stolen during the night. Thieve are looking at night for opportune times and chances in order

to either steal items from your vehicle or to steal the vehicle itself.

Truck owners urged to lock up

Police are reminding everyone to keep their vehicles locked and not to leave valuables in the vehicles.

The town of Princeton is taking the deer issue by the antlers. An application has been made to Wildlife BC to fund 75 per cent of the cost of hiring a part-time coordinator to help with deer education and to make recommendations on urban deer management. The application comes with the formation of a new Regional Wildlife Management Strategy that will be developed in co-operation with the Regional District of Similkameen, according to councilors Doug Pateman and Rosemary Doughty. In an interview with The Spotlight last week Pateman and Doughty said while the strategy is still in “its very early stages” it will include continued lobbying for the re-opening of a local conservation office. Pateman and Doughty recently attended a seminar sponsored by the Union of BC Municipalities to discuss urban deer issues. Pateman described the meeting as “eye opening.” He said listening to councillors and staff from other municipalities who have struggled with deer populations was also alarming. For example, he said, a cull was carried out in Invermere after 75 per cent of residents responded to a town survey indicating they supported the measure. So far that community has spent more than

$165,000 to defend itself against subsequent lawsuits. Councillors and town staff have felt threatened in Invermere, he said. “The CAO’s house was staked out and he was actually followed taking his son to hockey.” Pateman said a website appeared that identified councillors’ homes with threatening images like guns and cross hairs. “They are all really gun shy and stepping on eggs.” . In Kimberley, where deer were also culled, animal rights groups stole and burned clover traps, and damaged town property, he said. When asked if that kind of situation could erupt in Princeton Pateman said “I don’t think it will happen but I can see how it could….If you go on social media we have already had two groups fighting back and forth.

“Social media is a valuable tool but a dangerous tool. It can quickly take a subject matter and make it explode into a fight over night.” Last month two Facebook groups publicly debated what should be done about urban deer in Princeton and eventually agreed to work together to reduce the population. While councillors were invited to a meeting with the newly formed association they did not attend as the meeting was not open to the public. A newly elected councillor, Doughty has been on the town’s deer committee since its inception and has participated in six deer counts over 13 months. The counts – executed at different times of the year and different times of day – ranged from 13 to 75. She said those numbers aren’t raising any flags with the province. “The average number of deer in Princeton is 36.5….as far as the province is concerned we are low on the priority list.” Doughty said provincial guidelines suggest an acceptable number of urban deer is up to 9.6 per square kilometer. She declined to discuss independent deer counts that have been promoted through social media. “I can’t talk about it because I wasn’t there,” she said, adding another official deer count is planned for February.

Free speech is not an absolute right

There has been so much posturing, pontificating and general breast beating about the rights to free speech since the January 7th attacks at the office of Charlie Hebdo in Paris, France it has created a body of international work that itself begs for some good old fashioned censorship, or at the very least a shovel. There is no such thing as free speech. Nor should there be. Section Two of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms codifies speech as a “fundamental freedom,” however that is hardly absolute as the Charter also allows for laws that limit expression. Canadians don’t have the right to irresponsible, hateful, untruthful, or obscene speech. You cannot cry “fire” in a crowded theater. You cannot teach school children there was no holocaust. You cannot spread hurtful propaganda about a religious or ethnic group. Unlike in other democracies journalists and news agencies in Canada have no rights beyond those afforded every citizen. There are no get-out-of-jail-free cards because you own a printing press, or manage a blog. Indeed reporters and editors here who run afoul of the law, for example by ignoring a court ordered ban on publication issued by a judge, or who refuse to cooperate with government censure during a time of national crisis, face heavy fines and imprisonment. During the army’s standoff with Mohawks in Oka, Quebec members of the media had their cell phones disabled. During the October crisis of 1970 it was illegal to publish the FLQ manifesto and journalists were jailed. In the past week the federal government moved to broaden its powers to control speech with the introduction of Bill C-51, anti-terror legislation which includes criminalizing the promotion of terrorist acts. Experts are now arguing the implications and practicalities of the proposed law. It does seem ironic that one of the espoused aims of the legislation is to protect the right to speech, something Canada promised to stand firmly behind in the wake of the Paris attack. When limits to speech in Canada are challenged the Supreme Court has traditionally walked a fine line, weighing the danger of the expression against the danger of the act of suppression itself. Freedoms, even partial and imperfect ones, come with responsibility. In a culture that increasingly celebrates the sacred rights of the individual the much-respected Canadian Senator Keith Davey (1926-2011) made a lot of sense when he said this: “Too many publishers harbor the absurd notion that freedom of the press is something they own...of course the exact opposite is the case. Press freedom is the right of the people.” Thoughts, opinions and beliefs. Those are free. The minute a person opens her mouth or puts pen to paper, there is a cost. And that is how it should be. Speech is too powerful for anything else. - AD PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY Annual subscription: $35.24 locally, $54.29 elsewhere in Canada.

And he was part of a funeral procession. This story came to mind last week as I was exiting the Petro Canada station on Bridge Street in Princeton. I was distracted and anxious to get home and I failed to clock a vehicle approaching from the ramp on Highway 3. We both braked and the driver of the other car – while not exactly exhibiting signs of road rage – was clearly and justifiably annoyed at my carelessness, which could have so easily ended in a collision. He shook his head sternly and I recognized a well-known gentleman from town who I’ve had occasion to interview several times for the newspaper. It was not a comfortable moment.

Similkameen Spotlight Wednesday, February 4, 2015

Invisibility never strikes when you need it most Everyone feels invisible, sometimes. This is especially true for women, as the earth makes her dance round and round the sun. It’s like we fade as we age, become fainter images of ourselves. Society stops looking up when we enter a room. With every birthday I become increasingly fearful that eventually people will start randomly bumping into me because they won’t see me standing there. Merchandisers – unless they are selling wrinkle cream or bladder protection – look right through us too, as if we are huddled together under Harry Potter’s magic cloak. We cease to qualify as a target audience. It’s ironic because we start life feeling invisible. Ever wonder why an infant can be amused for hours and hours by a simple game of peek-a-boo? It’s because when she covers

Facing life’s first colonoscopy as a positive adventure Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca

“The lab test indicates there may be a problem in your colon,” my GP, Dr. Chou, told me in December, 2014. “I’m going to refer you for a colonoscopy.” Upon hearing these words, I realized Linda and I might soon be treading on an uncertain, even treacherous path. My Dad had endured intense pain at the end of his battle with cancer. Linda’s online research didn’t reassure. Knowing she was already anxious, I said nothing about the symptoms I was experiencing. Dr. Chou told me these could be caused by other factors. “Polyps will do that,” he said. “No worries.” Dr Jangra, a General Surgeon had an opening on January 20. To educate myself I picked up a copy of “The End of Diabetes.” It deals with a variety of serious health issues, including cancer. The author, Dr. Joel Fuhman takes a nutritional approach. Not a fun read, it nixed virtually every culinary delight known to my palette. “Refined carbohydrates

from processed foods and animal protein are at the core of our cancer and diabetes epidemic,” Dr. Fuhman says . Then, becoming quite specific, he states “white flour and sugar contribute to cancer.” Mentally I listed the forbidden foods, Linda’s white buns, hamburgers and fries, milk shakes, pizza, pancakes, etc. All foods I enjoy. He does very generously permit greens and beans. “The increased fibre from these,” he says, “lowers glucose levels, increases bowel regularity, and protects against colon cancer development.” Reading this I briefly ceased grumbling. Couldn’t keep that up long. I reluctantly shared this with Linda and she began hanging out around the bean bins at Cooper’s in Princeton. Beans and greens became staples in our home. Surprisingly, I enjoyed both. On the advice of Dr. Fuhman, we also began eating more nuts and seeds. I grudgingly pretty much eliminated dairy products. No ice cream or yogurt, or even milk with my morning bowl of oatmeal. Not a trace of compassion in the

recommendations. In two months I lost 10 pounds. Not wanting to be told I wasn’t ready, I began the colon cleansing process one day early (Sunday). Fruit in the morning, Linda’s broccoli soup at lunch, then only clear juice and broth. Juice and broth again on Monday. Nothing after 10:30 a.m. Tuesday. At 2:30 pm Tuesday, I reported to the hospital and was directed to the waiting area. Although the outcome of the procedure concerned me, food was a more immediate interest. I dozed off for about a minute and dreamed I saw two hands place a platter of thick steaming pancakes in front of me. Quite a disappointment when I awoke before I could pour Lumber Jack syrup on them and indulge. An hour later I was taken to a small enclosure. “Take off all your clothes and put on this gown with the opening to the back,” a nurse instructed. “Keep your socks on.” I wondered if they feared I’d get cold feet about this and attempt an escape.

My thoughts went back to Dr. Jangra’s statement that 9 out of 10 colonoscopy’s reveal no sign of cancer. I mentally counted the number of individuals I knew who had experienced the procedure without evidence of cancer. There had been at least 9. Would I be the unlucky #10? Finally my cot was wheeled to the room where the procedure would be performed. Dr. Jangra was waiting, and two nurses stood ready to send me to an unconscious state. I quickly said, “I’m hoping the doctor will permit me to take a couple of pictures for my blog and newspaper column.” He stood up and willingly posed. Then I was “out like a light”. On January 28 I was back in Dr. Jangra’s office. “No cancer or polyps,” he said, seemingly happy to deliver positive news. He knew I’d be writing about the experience and offered a little counsel. “One in 13 Canadian men will be diagnosed with colon cancer. Early detection is important.” He paused, then said, “Get lots of fibre in the diet. Also,

go to http://www.screeningbc.ca/ default.htm for more information.” Later that evening Linda surprised me with a photo of myself on the cot, still under the influence of the anaesthetic. Not a flattering shot but she insisted we post it on the blog. With the utmost reluctance I agreed. Thank you Dr. Chou and Dr. Jangra, and the two nurses, for a very positive colonoscopy adventure.

Theatre plans treat for lovers of food and romance Tara Bowie Spotlight Staff

Share in the love of local theatre this Valentine’s Day. The Crimson Tine Players are reviving the organization’s gala event to raise funds for building updates at Riverside Centre. “It’s an awesome opportunity to have a really, really romantic evening with your partner or a blast out with friends,” Rhianfa Riel, one of the Crimson Tine Players said. “It’s going to be a really fun, beautiful evening.” Money raised at the event will go towards buying a pulley system so sets can be stored off the stage while practice for production is underway. “When you’re producing a show the set

is on the stage for quite awhile making it so other groups can’t use it. We want to have one of those pulley systems so the set can just be lifted off the stage but still there for us to use when we need it,” she said. For $40 a ticket, patrons will receive a delicious four-course meal, and be entertained with a performance by Derek Hodgson and Jillian Hodgson of the Crimson Tine Players. The couple will perform Love Letters, a play by A.R. Gurney. “It’s a quite famous play in theatre circles. It’s a man and woman at the end of their life reading letters to each other they wrote throughout their life,” she said. “It’s quite touching.” The performance will take place during

“It’s going to be awesome,” she said. There will also be an option for those that are gluten intolerant. Gluten free meals can be requested at time of ticket purchase. Volunteers will also be on hand to act as a designated driver if needed. “It’s kind of one of those operation rednose things. Working in pairs volunteers will drive ticket holders home in their cars and then the other volunteer will get a ride back to the theatre. We just want everyone to have a great time and be safe,” she said. Tickets can be bought at Shoppers Drug Mart, Princeton U-Brew, Princeton Paint and Decorating Store or by contacting Rhianfa Riel at rhianfariel@gmail.com.

dinner. The evening will also include a cash bar, raffles for exciting prizes including an overnight stay in Vancouver, show and meal, as well as a 50/50. The four-course meal kicks off with a complimentary Crimson Tine cocktail. Appetizers are stuffed gouda and bacon stuffed mushroom caps, caprese, vegetable skewer and a cucumber avocado roll. The salad course will be a spring salad with fruits, nuts and garlic bread. If the first courses don’t make mouths water the main course is sure to with grilled chicken, green beans and garlic potatoes. To top it off desert will be death by chocolate and pineapple cream cheese snowball cookies.

Students may apply for bursaries Get a car wash The Community Foundation is offering up more than $26,000 to students in the OkanaganSimilkameen pursuing higher education. Two of the bursary funds will make awards to arts students, one bursary fund is for First Nations students and the largest bursary fund is open to any student for any area of study. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited about the bursary program this year,â&#x20AC;? said Aaron McRann, executive director of the Community Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the amount of money we have available to students we are anticipating even more applications than in previous years.â&#x20AC;? The Sharon Amos Legacy Fund for the Arts was established after the death of well-known community leader, Sharon Amos. The Fund awards bursaries to students pursuing education in music and arts, preferably performing arts. The Fund has awarded $6,400 to local students since its creation in 2010. The Dr. John & Kathy Scarfo Bursary Fund awards to students who live an active and healthy lifestyle and who are pursuing education in an effort to improve life for themselves and their families. This fund will award several bursaries totalling $23,000 to local students who are in financial need. The South Okanagan First Nations Education

Fund was established in 2013 by anonymous donors from the area. Shortly after the announcement of this new fund another anonymous donor came forward and donated an additional $10,000 to the bursary fund. The Fund has awarded $960 to local First Nations students pursuing an education. The Thea Haubrich Legacy Fund was created after the tragic death of Thea Haubrich in 2013. Thea was a leading practitioner and promoter of Encaustic Art. The endowment fund was established with the goal of providing ongoing financial support to artists, with a focus on encaustic art, wanting to further their education. The Thea Haubrich Legacy Fund awarded $450 to local students in 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We offer these bursaries because the donors want to support students of all ages who may be attending any number of different educational institutions not just the schools located in our immediate area,â&#x20AC;? said McRann. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a resident with a permanent address within the boundaries of the RDOS you are eligible to apply.â&#x20AC;? For more information, specific funding criteria, and application forms, please visit the Community Foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website at www.cfso.net.The deadline for applications is March 20.

Business owner pays it back to Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital Spotlight Staff

Wash a vehicle on Tuesdays at Bridge Street Car Wash in February and help sick children. Tanya Lawes, owner of the Princeton car wash said the annual event is her familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chance to help give back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot you can do when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a parent of a sick child. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you can feel you can give back for all the help and support you received when

you needed it,â&#x20AC;? she said. At six months old her daughter, Layna Lawes underwent open heart surgery at BC Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital in Vancouver. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now seven. She currently has a pace maker that will soon need a battery change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still need to go to the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hospital. There are several other families in town using the hospital for different things,â&#x20AC;? she said. The fundraiser has

been held in February, heart month, for the last seven years. Each year it raises anywhere between $700 to $1,600 depending on the weather, Lawes said. To date more than $5,000 has been donated to the hospital. Anyone wanting to donate just needs to wash their cars on Tuesday at the car wash and the money collected on those days will be collected and donated.
