Coalmont “spiraling out of control”

“I fear that this court case gives a skewed impression of day to day life here. - Ole Juul Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

A provincial court judge fears events in the tiny village of Coalmont “are spiraling out of control.” Charges of uttering threats, criminal harassment and causing people to fear for their safety were laid last week against Karl Gatzke of Coalmont. He was remanded into custody in Princeton court pending a further appearance in Penticton. “I don’t know what’s going on in Coalmont but I’m really concerned about all this,” Judge Gale Sinclair told spectators Friday at the end of two days of testimony in a case of mischief against Marianna Gatzke – Karl Gatzke’s daughter. “Some respected member of the community, or someone, should talk to some people. We now have multiple, multiple charges…I really don’t like it.” At least ten percent of the village – between 10 and fifteen people – crowded into the Princeton court house Thursday and Friday, where Marianna Gatzke, who is acting as her own counsel, examined witnesses including her father. The case was adjourned late Friday morning. While the mischief charges stem from events in

April 2011 and May 2013, much of the testimony centered around subsequent happenings, including an incident where Marianna Gatzke said she was assaulted and suffered a broken orbital bone, as well as an assault on her father’s vehicle before he was arrested last Thursday. The trial began in March 2014, when the prosecution presented witnesses who claimed noise coming from Marianna Gatzke’s power tools and radio, as well as signage and spotlights at her residence, interfered with their enjoyment of their property. In June last year, several people involved in the trial were injured, as well as charged with assault and aggravated assault, after what RCMP Sergeant Barry Kennedy described as a “brawl” involving pitchforks and shovels. Thursday Karl Gatzke was brought into court in handcuffs and testified with a sheriff sitting beside the witness stand. He repeatedly made eye contact with spectators in the room. His examination was often conversational in nature. “You always feel like you have eyes on you, is that right?” Marianna Gatzke asked. “It feels like we continued page 10

Tears and sighs of relief greet guilty verdict Dale Boyd Black Press

John Ike Koopmans, 51, is facing two life sentences after the jury found him guilty of two counts of second degree murder and one count of attempted murder. Koopmans was convicted for the second degree murders of Robert Keith Wharton, 43, and Rosemary Fox, 32, and the attempted murder of Bradley Martin, 51, on March 30, 2013 in Princeton. Koopmans, who was wearing a brown collared shirt and black pants, was silent and showed no emotion when hearing the verdicts. “We’re quite satisfied it’s the right verdict,” said Crown prosecutor Frank Dubenski outside the Penticton Court House. Dubenski said he feels the issue of planning and premeditation is what the jury was grappling with during their deliberations, which started April 9 and concluded Saturday afternoon. “Given the factors in the case. Some of the drinking, the alcohol intake that he had and the circumstances of the attendance of the property, I’m really not surprised that this is the verdict and it was certainly one they (the jury) were entitled to reach on the evidence in the case,” Dubenski said. Tears were shed and sighs of relief could be heard in the courtroom from the Wharton family supporters who said they were pleased with the verdict but declined to comment further. The jury made recommendations as to the amount of time served before Koopmans is eligible for parole. The recommendations did not have to be unanimous and seven jurors recommended a 15-year minimum of time served before becoming eligible for parole for each count of second degree murder, with five jurors making no recommendation. Nine jurors recommended a consecutive sentence, while one juror recommended a concurrent sentence with two jurors making no recommendation. The decision will ultimately be up to Justice Miriam Maisonville, though the jury’s recommendations will be taken

into consideration. The verdict will lead to a sentencing decision dealing with newer provisions in the criminal code the federal government put into place in 2011. The provisions pertain to verdicts with multiple homicides allowing consecutive parole ineligibility periods to be imposed. “This is something new,” Dubenski said. “There aren’t many cases in British Columbia that have dealt with it since the implementation of that new legislation, so we’ll be looking at that and trying to figure out what kind of approach to take on the sentencing.” Defence counsel Don Skogstad said the case is out of his hands regarding whether or not Koopmans is planning an appeal. “There are some things that happened at the end of the trial that are still being analyzed,” Skogstad said. “It’s not usually good practice for lawyers to do their own appeals, you get a second fresh look, so that’s what we have here. So it will be up to that lawyer.” “It was a very long trial. I think there was some evidence that was difficult. This is why the verdict took much longer than normal,” said defence counsel Don Skogstad Skogstad said the last jury to acquit in the area was 11 years ago. “These days you have a fear-of-crime mentality that seems to pervade this process. I’ve been doing jury trials for over 30 years and years ago juries clearly acquitted frequently,” Skogstad said. He said he believed there were problems with some of the evidence in the trial, though Koopmans avoided a first degree murder charge. “We’re happy it’s not first (degree). We didn’t really see any basis for that. I tried to convince Crown not to pursue first. He may have some life left as of this verdict. First (degree), and that might not have been the case,” Skogstad said. The case will convene briefly on April 27 at the Penticton Court House to set a date for sentencing.

Police make progress in local break and enters Charges are pending against three people police have identified in connection with a recent spate of pick up truck thefts and break and enters in the Town of Princeton. According to RCMP Commander Barry Kennedy the two men, and one woman, are not from the area and have been arrested in another community. “We have recovered some property and there is still more property to go through,” said Kennedy. During March ten pick up trucks, all left unlocked with keys inside, were stolen in Princeton and most of those vehicles have been recovered out of town. Kennedy said those thefts are related to approximately seven break and enters in town during the same time. Approximately $20,000 worth of personal property was stolen in those incidents, said Kennedy.

Similkameen Valley Travel Experiences Guide

Treaty cash cow may dry up

British Columbia | Canada | SimilkameenValley.com

The Similkameen Valley Planning Society, in partnership with The Spotlight and Keremeos Review, unveiled the annual travel experiences guide at last week’s meeting.

Branding is everything. Just ask Apple, Microsoft and Google, who according Forbes magazine have the three highest prized brands in the world with a combined value of nearly $244 billion. (Coca Cola is fourth on the list of most valuable brands.) When a company builds a successful brand it is something almost sacred. As one newspaper executive is fond of saying “McDonald’s doesn’t mess around with the secret sauce.” (McDonald’s, as a point of interest, has the sixth most valuable brand in the world worth a cool $39.9 million.) Attendees to the Similkameen Valley Planning Society’s tourism industry day in Princeton last week got the opportunity to learn a bit about the valley’s brand. Similkameen Valley. Rugged. Rustic. Real. As brands go it’s actually quite brilliant – and couldn’t have come about easily given the vast differences between communities and attractions in the valley. From the mine to the vine in less than 45 minutes would create a challenge for any marketer. Branding gets defined in many different ways – it is more than words and pictures, it is the sub total of all the experiences customers have with a business. Marketing expert Lisa Buyer has this to say about brands. “Branding is more than a name and symbol. A brand is created and influenced by people, visuals, culture, style, perception, words, messages, PR, opinions, news media and especially social media. Like when a child is born and given a name, a brand needs nurturing, support, development and continuous care in order to thrive and grow.” Similkameen Valley. Rugged. Rustic. Real. The brand wants nurture and support. Follow up with it. Buy into it. Participate in the brand. Use the brand and the brand will work. Everyone benefits. Just ask Apple, Microsoft, Google, Coca Cola and McDonalds. - AD

The valley could use some of that senate spending Art Martens livingsignificantl.ca

I was listening to a CBC broadcast once again reciting the litany of charges against suspended Senator Mike Duffy. Living in the serenity of the Similkameen Valley, I was tempted to think this court case in Ottawa is too far removed to impact me or my neighbours. Surely we are insulated against the alleged predations of Mr. Duffy. Then I recalled Bruce Hutchison’s words in The Unfinished Country, “Like most capitals,” Hutchison contends, “Ottawa is a parasite, a kept woman, feeding on taxpayers from coast to coast.” It’s not what I want to hear about those who govern us. I would much prefer to think well of them. Maybe that is at the root of the problem. We assume our affairs are being tended to with integrity. This assumption lulls us into a state of complacency. The result is we don’t pay attention. There have always been individuals prepared to take advantage of citizen apathy. The Pacific Railway Scandal during the tenure of our first PM, John A. McDonald, is an early Canadian example. More recently Vanessa Redgrave, former Premier of Alberta, became embroiled in a highly publicized case of misuse of public funds. Highly placed executives in the Portland Hotel Society lived lavishly on donated funds. Examples abound at every level of government and society. Mr. Duffy’s attorney, Donald Bayne, has

offered the explanation that “the rules about Senate expenses are unclear.” It is apparently Duffy’s view, and that of at least some Senators, when rules are unclear it’s permissible to be reckless with our tax dollars. Although it would be unfair to believe all Senators have interpreted the rules too loosely, they have not chosen to rectify this situation that allows some members to live like High Rollers on the public purse. If they don’t understand that vague rules will lead to overspending on the part of some Senators, do they have the wisdom and integrity to represent us adequately? I’d leave this alone if there were sufficient funds for a decent medical facility in our valley. If streets in disrepair in Hedley were redone with real blacktop. If we saw a police cruiser in town more than occasionally. If the aging infrastructures of towns and cities were being properly maintained. If disabled individuals and frail seniors received more services in their homes or in care facilities. If there were effective programs to support families with special needs children and youth. The sense of entitlement has never been dealt with because Senators from all parties have become comfortable with rules that permit virtually any interpretation. It’s a system that will always remain in place unless we become sufficiently irritated to shake off our lethargy and firmly instruct political leaders to remove the lavish “public trough”. Like many of my neighbours in this val-

Writing letters is a good step towards creating change.

ley, I value the distance from our provincial and national capitals. I understand, however, that this distance does not impair the ability of the greedy ones in those capitals to be free wheeling with our tax dollars. I know also that I should not expect that the current revelations of shoddy practises will shame the Senate into enacting substantive change. The beneficiaries of our largess are not likely to do it willingly, or on their own initiative. The impetus will need to come from us, the citizens of this nation. I have immense respect for those who write or call their elected representatives. Also for individuals who pen letters to editors of newspapers. Although it requires patience and perseverance, governments sometimes

will change policies and actions due to significant public outrage and pushback. Donald Bayne has asserted the Senate permits its rules to be interpreted in virtually any way a Senator chooses. His client should therefore not be punished for his extravagant interpretation of the vague rules. If we disagree, or at least feel strongly the rules need to be tightened, this is an opportune time to make our views known on this matter. Complaining to a neighbour over the fence won’t be effective. A brief note to our local political representatives and to leaders of the major parties could make a difference. Change comes when enough individuals act.

Not all the tributes in our old village cemetery were tender. In fact, many of them set my teeth on edge, and forced my fingernails into the palms of my hands. These were for men of course, remembered boldly, like their tombstones were marquees and the size of lettering mattered. Wives were frequently only called by first name, and more often acknowledged in smaller engraving. Women were not stars of the show, not even of their own after lives. They were part of the chorus, also-rans.

There are many ways to amuse yourself in a cemetery Across the street from the DeMeer’s former home in Burford, Ontario there is an old cemetery. Mr. DeMeer has been known to remark, unkindly, that the permanent residents of that property were the only neighbours I never managed to pick a fight with in nearly 30 years of marriage I never counted the gravestones, but there are probably more people resting in the ground than are actually living in that tiny tobacco farming community. It is a morose observation, but walking around the neighbourhood graveyard rather puts one in that mood. Walk around it we did. The graveyard offered a short cut to the town’s only grocery store, as well as the local liquor store. On a weekend the DeMeers could wear a path. During one trip to purchase cat food my middle son paused to survey the rows and rows of monuments. “Mommy,” his eyes grew wide. “Do all these stones mark

I discoursed on this subject at a cocktail party one evening, spluttering indignantly as I worked up to my theme. Men’s names always came first, even when they died second. I applauded those women who outlived their husbands. Mr. DeMeer was not impressed. “I CANNOT believe it! You’ve finally found a way to fight with dead people!”

Hope-Princeton highway gets $27.6 million in upgrades Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

The provincial and federal governments will spend $27.6 million over the next 18 months to improve safety on Highway 3 between Princeton and Hope. The announcement was made last Wednesday in downtown Princeton and met with enthusiastic applause from municipal leaders. “I’m looking forward to this, getting less business,” said Doug Pateman, chief of Princeton Highway Rescue. “The majority of our work is done on that stretch of road.” The Hope-Princeton Highway is one of the ten deadliest roads in British Columbia, according to an ICBC report released earlier this year. It saw 24 fatal crashes between 2004 and 2013 and is regularly featured on Discovery Channel’s Highway Thru Hell. “The realignment of Highway 3 just south of Princeton will make travel safer and more efficient for all motorists,” said Okanagan Coquihalla MP Dan Albas from Veteran’s Square Wednesday. Albas drove the highway from the lower mainland to Princeton the previous evening. “I can certainly attest that this will be a welcome improvement.” The realignment affects a 5.3 km stretch of road about 30 km west of Princeton - between Sunday Creek and Sunday Summit - and will include the straightening of two sharp curves and the addition of a passing lane in each direction. The federal government has committed $10.3 million to the project from its Building Canada Fund, and the province is paying $17.3 million from the BC On The Move program. Work is scheduled to begin in June and should be completed by fall, 2016. When the improvements are made the highway speed will be increased to 100 km/hour from 80 km/ hour. MLA Jackie Tegart said the road re-construction supports tourism and economic development. “The Hope-Princeton highway is essential to the provincial economy and these improvements will benefit residential and recreational travellers as well as commercial and resource

MLA Jackie Tegart and Princeton Councillor Kim Maynard take a closer look at the improvements planned for Highway 3.

industry drivers.” Tegart credited the Highway 3 Mayors and Chairs Coalition as the driving force behind the planned road improvements. “It’s because of that group that we are making this announcement today.” Councillor Kim Maynard, who represents Princeton on the coalition, said the group has been diligent in keeping Highway 3 on the provincial agenda and the announcement “just feels really great.”

New board struck to help with doctor recruitment To the editor On Wednesday, April 1st, members of the newly formed Princeton Healthcare Sustainability Society met to discuss their goals and elect their first Board of Directors.

With a population of over 5000, the current roster of three doctors cannot provide sustainable healthcare services which includes a clinic, emergency 24/7, residential care, and community care. British Columbia is presently experiencing a chronic shortage of family physicians. Throughout the province there are over 300 family physician vacancies. In Interior Health alone, there are 33 communities looking for 66 doctors. Each community must be involved in the recruitment and retention of healthcare professionals, in

order to assure adequate physician supply, for today and tomorrow. Our goal is to develop a team of healthcare professionals with five physicians and one nurse practitioner as the core for services provided for the residents of Princeton. Recruitment efforts will focus on the following: • Hosting interested physicians for site visits • Promoting Princeton as a place of practice to newly graduated and upcoming graduates of family medicine programs in BC • Hosting family medicine residents for rural rotations as part of their residency program • Incentives for recruitment of locums and permanent physicians • Hosting courses in Princeton that physicians and residents would be likely to attend • Print or web media advertising PHSS is not-for-profit society, registered with the Province of BC. Donations and expressions of interest for fundraising support should be directed to the Princeton Healthcare Sustainability Society, Box 257, Princeton, BC. Ed Staples

To the editor ATVers urged to use logging roads To the editor Virtually every country in Europe has biking/walking only trails. European tourists used to come and bike the KVR, staying in the area for a couple of weeks, but no more. Since machines took over the trail virtually no one else uses it. I no longer go anywhere near a person with a machine that can be heard for miles, unlike walkers,

and touring cyclists. There are a million miles of logging roads in BC—that’s the

place for motorized vehicles! J. Henry Princeton

Grad fundraiser needs support To the editor The Grad class of 2015 will be out on Sunday April 19th to raise money for graduation. If you have any donations the students will be collecting between 11 am and 2

During his opening remarks Mayor Frank Armitage recalled moving to Princeton as “a young lad, just before the paving of Hope Princeton” and said these newest improvements are a step towards “making it the second Trans Canada Highway.” Armitage said: “The improvements will undoubtedly enhance our town’s ability to attract tourists, make it safer for residents to travel west, especially in the winter, and enhance the town’s position as a significant transportation hub.”

Support for banning motorized vehicles from local trail To the editor Congratulations go to the town for taking control of the KVR trail within town limits. This is a positive first step in protecting an important tourist attraction. Motorized vehicles have no place on this trail. It should be for self-propelled activities such as walking, running, and biking. The trail gives locals, as well as visitors stopping for a short time, an opportunity to use and to enjoy this restful, scenic trail. Imagine a person driving for several hours stopping in Princeton to have a breather, using the trail, and meeting machines on a very narrow piece of walkway? Not only is this a safety issue, but a noisy one as well.These machines have already ruined many sections of the KVR; just ask cyclists. Everyone has acquiesced to their aggressive demands; they are now free to roam up and down the KVR. These machines belong in the bush, logging roads, etc. They have vast areas where they can pursue their activities without impinging on other

users. I don’t care how polite these ATV’ers and the like are, the fact is they are not welcome on this section. Why must they have everything? This is the last opportunity to keep a very small section of the KVR free of such machines. Princeton needs to listen to what other groups have to say. Active motorized use has kept away visitors from Europe and other places who come expecting to find the kind of trails that they are used to, that is a separation of motorized and selfpropelled activities. Other communities here in BC, Canada, and the United States have done a wonderful job of creating such trails, so far it has been beyond the scope of Princeton. Princeton has one last opportunity to make it right, by making a very small section of the trail free of motorized vehicles. The town needs to have more vision than the gratification of a demanding, vocal group ( ATVers and the like) in planning a town for future generations. M. Masiel

Feud drains police resources continued page 10 have been slated for dead.” Marianna Gatzke said she fears for her life from “basically all the circle people around my home.” Father and daughter discussed Princeton RCMP, and put forward a theory that police have conspired with their neighbours against them. Karl Gatzke told the court “there’s been no help for years” from police. “They just cover it all up.” Marianna Gatzke also called two RCMP officers, a former boss and three neighbours to the stand. While examining neighbor Sandra Aguillon Marianna Gatzke asked about an incident that occurred two days previously in which two men allegedly attacked her father’s vehicle. “Did you see them attack my Dad’s car?” Aguillon responded: “Only when your dad tried to back over them.” Marianna Gatzke asked Sandra if she took pictures of the incident. “Yes I was, of you,” the witnessed replied. Marianna Gatzke asked: “Where was I?” Sandra responded: “Sitting in the car taking pictures of me.” Following court, in an interview with The Spotlight, Kennedy said the ongoing feud in Coalmont “has been

a real drain on resources” for the detachment. Since 2011 the RCMP has received more than fifty complaints from residents in the town and “we’ve been quite concerned about how volatile the situation is.” Fourteen complaints have been lodged since last year’s brawl, said Kennedy. “Everybody is on conditions to not bother each other and not talk to each other and we still get called out.” In a seemingly unrelated matter last week Rolly Giroux, of Coalmont, appeared in Penticton court and was charged with attempted murder after another Coalmont man, Warren Spence, was struck by a car while talking at the town’s public phone booth Sunday March 29. Ole Juul, who publishes the digital newspaper New Coalmont Courier, said in an email to the Spotlight “I fear that this court case gives a skewed impression of day to day life here. This is indeed a colourful community, but not quite as exciting as these recent events might suggest.”

Town gives up on grass, invests in cemetery improvements Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

The Town of Princeton is giving up the ghost on trying to keep grass alive at its cemetery. Instead, over the next two years, the municipality will invest $45,000 in building a gazebo with appropriate landscaping, and creating a garden of remembrance, to enhance the property. “Much money has been spent getting water there and trying to get it green and it’s just impossible,” Kevin Huey, director of parks and infrastructure, told The Spotlight in an interview last week. Huey said town staff has struggled for years, utilizing insufficient wells, sprinklers and staff time to try and grow green grass

without success. Because the soil is comprised of sand and gravel it does not retain moisture, said Huey, and a study completed last fall indicated it would cost a minimum of $250,000 to connect the cemetery to the town water supply. “We had complaints, we had concerns about it, and based on those complaints we looked at it and said ‘this is the reality of this situation.’” Huey said the problem of dry grass is very common to small town cemeteries in the BC interior. Construction of a Princeton cemetery gazebo – with seating and a reflection area – will begin about June, said Huey, and will cost $15,000. The area surround-

ing the gazebo will be landscaped with shrubs and bushes costing an additional $10,000. In 2016 the town will spend $10,000 to build a garden of remembrance where ashes can be spread, and where families will be able to install memorial plaques. Further landscaping at a cost of $10,000 is also planned for next year.

OPENING SOON Drive a few minutes to save on hardy perennials, annuals & compost. A big thank you to Community Services for helping with planting of our annuals.

Huey said he expects the improvements to the cemetery will be well received, but is also aware some people will continue to be unhappy with the lack of green space.

George Hanson, owner of Seven Stones Winery, was pouring the hospitality at the Similkameen Valley Planning Society’s annual tourism event held at the Riverside Centre last Wednesday. The successful afternoon included hands on workshops for local tourist businesses, and was capped off with the release of the 2015 Similkameen Valley Travel Experiences Guide, produced in conjunction with the Similkameen Spotlight and Keremeos Review. Mayor Frank Armitage, Okanagan Couquihala MP Dan Albas and local artist and health care activist Nienke Klaver were happy to sample some of the valley’s attractions.

Council takes time out on trail ATV issue Spotlight Staff

Town council is taking a time-out on the issue of the motorized vehicles using the KVR trail in town limits. While poised for three readings of a bylaw to ban ATVs from the trail, councilors voted last Tuesday to defer the decision until more time is spent in review.

Mayor Frank Armitage said the decision was reached after meeting with trail users and the RCMP. Councillor Doug Pateman will form a committee that should report back to council in about six weeks, said Armitage.

ROBERTS,

MARY AGNES (nee Gaskin): Mary passed away April 2nd at approximately 11:00 pm. At 100 years & 7 months she has lived a good life. Husban, George, predeceased her by 50 years and she was the last living of 3 siblings. Her children, Leonard & Muriel, 6 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren will miss her but rejoice in the hope of the resurrection through Jesus Christ. Due to her recent 100th birthday celebration, there will be no further public service.

Luke Kirby July 15th 1946 April 2nd 2015 Luke passed peacefully and now watches over us with his dear Grandfather Frank Chase, his Mother Frances L. Kirby and Father Luke T. Kirby. Luke is survived by his beloved wife Jan Kimberley and his four children, Alisha Wilby ;husband MikeͿ, Luke Kirby, MaƩhew Kirby, Jason Kirby and Įrst wife orothy Kirby. Luke is also survived by his brother Terry Kirby (wife Wendy), sister Colleen Stothert (husband Bob), brother Mark Kirby, stepmother Irene Kirby and many nieces and nephews as well as his loved and esteemed friends. He will be forever missed by his family and friends. Luke was born in Princeton, his family moved around BC a great deal in his early years due to his father’s job.

AŌer aƩending Brentwood College for several years he worked with explosives building logging roads all over BC with his grandfather unƟl marrying in 1979 and moving to Abbotsford where he worked as a drywaller and helped raise his four children. The last 10 years he lived in AshcroŌ with his wife Jan whom he loved very much. He enjoyed being an integral part of the AshcroŌ Legion. He loved hunƟng, Įshing and just being in the great outdoors. He oŌen stated he felt he had been born 100 years too late as he would have loved to have been a pioneer living oī the land.

ASHCROFT #113 300 Brink Street Ashcroft, BC V0K 1A0

Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free. I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play... Tasks left undone must stay that way, I Found that peace at the close of the day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Ah, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with time of sorrow, I wish to you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life’s been full, I savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one touched. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, I am free.
