Council debates public smoking ban Andrea DeMeer Similkameen Spolight

Smokers will have to butt out in some public areas in Princeton, but council is still debating the extent of its proposed public smoking ban. At a special meeting last Tuesday afternoon councilors reviewed a draft bylaw, and sent it back to staff with suggestions for changes and more information. “I’d like to see us move forward on it,” said Mayor Frank Armitage. “Let’s get a basic bylaw in front of us, one that can grow with the community.” Staff originally proposed restrictions that would make it illegal to smoke in parks, playgrounds, playing fields, splash parks, skate and bike parks or trails where a no-smoking notice has been posted. Additionally staff suggested there be no smoking within 10 meters of the doorway or window of a public facility or during an outdoor special event. First offense fines were set at $25, with $125 for subsequent offenses. Fines of $200 were proposed for smoking in town-owned vehicles, and for obstruction. Armitage told the meeting he believes a public smoking ban needs “a transition period,” and staff was directed to compile a list of parks and

events where no-smoking signs should be posted. “It’s easier to grow non-smokers than to make them,” said town recreation manager Lyle Thomas. “Maybe any park that has playground equipment or where children congregate is where we should have our signage.” Canada Day and Remembrance Day events at Veteran’s Square were identified by councilors as appropriate events to be identified under the bylaw. Smoking currently is prohibited near entrances to the Princeton Museum, Riverside Centre and the municipal pool. Armitage questioned the fairness of banning smoking at baseball parks, where adult teams hold regular games and tournaments. “It’s a social event,” he said. “I think it’s unreasonable to ask people to get up and leave the property and go to the highway to smoke.” Councillor Rosemary Doughty said she believes an effective bylaw must respect both smokers and non-smokers. “I like the idea of being reasonable, of not being heavy handed.” CAO Rick Zerr said the bylaw should be ready for council’s vote at the May 18th regular meeting.

Princeton council still needs to decide which parks and events will be covered by a municipal bylaw to butt out in public.

Coalmont launches David and Goliath battle with Telus Spotlight Staff

The little village of Coalmont is making headlines across the province as it mounts a David-and-Goliath style battle with Telus over the replacement of its public phone booth. While a spokesperson for Telus was emphatic last week that the phone booth – damaged in an attempted murder two months ago –will not be reinstalled, the RDOS says it’s still negotiating with the telecommunications giant.

“The Regional District is working with Telus to try and get something sorted out and to get it replaced,” Area H director Bob Coyne told the Spotlight Monday. “We seem to be having a bit of an issue and we really don’t know where it is going,” he said. “Our emergency services department is working on it, that’s as far as I can go.” The fight for a new phone booth began the day after Coalmont’s only 24-hour access public pay phone was destroyed when it was struck by a speeding car, injuring a man who

was using the phone to make a call. Rolly Giroux was later charged with attempted murder in connection with the incident. Bob Sterne, who operates the village’s Mozy On Inn with his wife, emailed Telus representatives repeatedly with requests for information about a new phone booth. In an interview with The Spotlight he said responses were infrequent and inconsistent. “We basically kept the pressure on Telus,” said Sterne, who also circulated a petition that received the support of about 50 people in

writing and on-line. Coalmont has a permanent population of approximately 100. “Last week Telus gave us their final answer that they will not be replacing the phone booth.” Sterne said 24-hour access to a public pay phone is critical as Coalmont has no cell phone service, and with its proximity to a popular section of the Trans Canada Trail it needs a pay phone in case of emergencies for “If you are using the trail or coming continued page 3

New pay phone for Coalmont would cost 5k continued from page one through Coalmont on the road it was an excellent location for being able to reach emergency services. That’s the only pay phone that’s accessible 24-7 to the public,” he said. “I know for a fact last year it was used exactly for that. There was an ATV accident and the guy was so badly hurt he was covered in blood and either he or a friend of his got to the phone and called 911 and they actually airlifted him out of here by helicopter. He probably figures that phone booth saved his life.” Sterne said there are many people in Coalmont who don’t have phones in their own homes, either because they can’t afford them or they are only part-time residents. Liz Sauve, a spokesperson for Telus, told The Spotlight in a phone interview the decision to not replace the phone rests on its low usage, and the fact that the phone has had to be repaired or serviced several times in the past few years. “We have heard some of the concerns from residents and we very much understand them,” she said. Sauve said Telus maintains a public pay phone inside the Coalmont Hotel, which is open daily from noon to 11 p.m., and outside of those hours “they would be more than willing to open the doors and provide someone with

access if they need 911.” Telus operates approximately 10,000 pay phones in BC and Alberta. “There is no mandate to phase these phones out,” she said. “Nor do we have a mandate from the CRTC to operate emergency phones.” Replacing the phone would cost $5,000 said Sauve “and the phone in that area has been vandalized a number of times in the past.” She said records indicate the phone has been used “on average over the last couple of years, maybe a phone call a week or every couple of weeks.” According to Sterne residents in the community dispute both those facts. “Nobody I have talked to is aware of any time that phone has been vandalized except for one time about five years ago when the handset was ripped off.” He also said the phone is used much more frequently than Telus is willing to acknowledge. “There are people who live here in town who use that phone on a daily basis.” In addition to circulating a petition and speaking with regional, provincial and federal government representatives, Sterne has also filed complaints against Telus with the CRTC and the Better Business Bureau. “This is a drop in the bucket for Telus,” he said.

A4 www.similkameenspotlight.com Wednesday, May 4, Similkameen Spotlight OPINION

Smokers aren’t stupid ...really It’s understandable that town councilors want to tread carefully when it comes to the proposed public smoking ban. Smoking rates are higher in BC’s Interior than in the rest of the province – 21 per cent here compared to 16 per cent everywhere else – so it means there are more smokers in Princeton to be frustrated when they are told to butt out. If it comes down to a decision however, between smokers’rights and what’s best for the health of the community, they really must choose the side of the angels. Angels don’t smoke. Perhaps one of the most compelling reasons to err on the side of clean air is this – it is proven that children who grow up in smoke free communities are less likely to use tobacco as adults. Even in the Interior, it’s got to be hard to find a smoker who isn’t sorry he ever had that first cigarette. And it’s got to be impossible to find a parent – regardless of how much she loves her cigarettes – who is indifferent to the chances of her own offspring smoking. Smokers might look stupid but they aren’t really. They can read as well as anyone and know that tobacco causes 30 per cent of all cancer deaths and is related to 85 per cent of lung cancers. Six thousand British Columbians die each year from tobacco use. What’s even worse is that in the same year and the same province second hand smoke is linked to 110 deaths among non-smokers. So bring on the ban. Bring on the tobacco police if you need to. Smokers probably aren’t going to mind all that much. They are pretty used to it. It is already illegal in BC to smoke in any indoor public place or worksite, including pubs, bars, restaurants, and shopping centres. Designated smoking rooms are non-existent, and public transit, transit shelters, taxis and work vehicles are also smoke free. In addition, there is a three metre non-smoking buffer zone around public and work place doorways, open windows and air intakes including apartments and condominiums. That’s right. Technically if you are smoking a cigarette and walking down Bridge Street alongside storefronts and business doors, you are already breaking the law. Smoking creates tremendous economic impacts as well. Tobacco costs the BC economy $2.3 billion annually. Some of that cost is felt here in Princeton – either through health care tax support, an increase in forest fires, or simply because tobacco related litter outnumbers other types of litter by as much as three times and the town eventually pays someone to clean that stuff up. To be sure there will be some grumbling the first time a righteous non-smoker points out a “no-smoking in public sign” and confronts an inconsiderate addict. But overall smokers will be okay. Given that smokers in other communities that have banned smoking in public report it made it easier for them to finally quit – they might even be a little happy about it. - AD PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY Annual subscription: $35.24 locally, $54.29 elsewhere in Canada.

Family saga dominates the settling of the Similkameen

Nora (left) and her granddaughter Maggie (Allison) Terbasket, Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca

The story of the Allisons of the Similkameen Valley has the flavour and deep fascination of a great saga. It began when John Fall Allison, at age 12, emigrated with his family from England to the U.S. in 1837. As an adult he became infected with gold fever and was enticed to B.C. by news of gold on the Fraser River. Governor James Douglass, evidently impressed by John Fall, appointed him to investigate the Similkameen area. As happened so often with European men, he took a young aboriginal woman as his

wife. Nora Yakumtikum, according to a great granddaughter, came from a royal blood line going back 16 generations. She was 15 at the time. It was Nora who initially stirred my interest in this story. She has gained considerable attention due to her pack train venture. Nancy Allison of Hedley, another great granddaughter, says she hauled groceries and mining supplies from Hope to Greenwood. Nancy thinks she had about 40 horses and employed people to help her. Rugged and mountainous, the trail required physical endurance and strength of character. Nancy suggests it was likely Nora who made John Fall aware of the Allison Pass route. John Fall and Nora had 3 children, Lily, Albert (Bertie), and Charles (Enoch). She later bore another son, “Wichie”. According to B.C. historian M.A. Ormsby, in the 1860’s Allison found placer gold, copper and coal on the Similkameen River. He claimed 160 acres at the junction of the Tulameen and Similkameen rivers. The relationship between John Fall and Nora ended sometime after the birth of their third child. Information concerning Nora’s life after this is sketchy. We do know though that she has numerous descendants from one end of the Similkameen Valley to the other. In 1868, at age 43, John Fall married Susan Moir who he had met in Hope. Their honeymoon, according to Ormsby, consisted of a horseback ride from Hope to the Similkameen Valley. It must have been a steep learning curve for the 23 year old Susan. She had received a good education in

England, having studied French, Latin and Greek. They settled into a log home which John Fall had built. He bought a number of Durham cattle and in time his herd of 100 swelled to 1000. At times he also prospected and explored. In this wilderness setting little medical help was available. Ormsby says “when Susan delivered her first child, only her husband and an Indian woman were present.” Although accounts vary as to where Nora was during these years, we do know that her daughter Lily stayed with John Fall and Susan and helped with raising the children and household chores. In “A Pioneer Gentle Woman in British Columbia”, Susan speaks highly of the assistance provided by Lily. At times John Fall was away for many weeks on cattle drives to New Westminster. Without Lily, life for Susan would have been extremely difficult. In total Susan gave birth to 14 children. In the severe winter of 1877-78, John Fall lost half his cattle due to the cold. Then, in the winter of 1880-81 a heavy snowfall collapsed the roof of their house. While John Fall was away on a cattle drive in April, 1882 their house burned down. The family temporarily moved into the cowboys’ shack. He rebuilt the house. In 1884 the Similkameen River flooded, destroying their home and 14 outbuildings. They converted a cattle barn into a home. John Fall caught pneumonia in 1897 and died at age 72. M.A. Ormsby says his discoveries had laid the basis for the great gold mining boom of the 1890’s which resulted in

Susan Allison

mining towns like Hedley. “A Pioneer Gentle Woman in British Columbia” provides an interesting account of the pioneering life as Susan and John Fall experienced it. Unfortunately, it doesn’t mention Nora. She lived until 1939 and was likely interred at the Mission Chapel just east of Hedley. Due to space limitations, this account is incomplete. Also, there isn’t total agreement on all details. My purpose is to help keep alive a fascinating piece of Similkameen history. Certainly both Nora and Susan, and also John Fall, played a significant role in the settlement and development of our beautiful Valley.

Mother’s Day is best spent sunning in the backyard In the same way that Christmas celebrates the birth of Christ, Mother’s Day celebrates the birth of EVERYBODY. Feelings are mixed as Mother’s Day approaches. This is irony. A woman who has with malice and aforethought committed parenting four times should be unqualifiedly enthusiastic about Mother’s Day. Tea and soggy toast for breakfast, shells in the scrambled eggs, then a nice basketful of goodies; plants from the garden centre and a knick knack of some kind followed by dinner out without the children. Those are good things to look forward to, about Mother’s Day. Over the years I’ve also enjoyed the handmade gifts that made their way home in the backpacks.

I find the news of the lay-off of our three forestry staff in Princeton unacceptable and the reasoning impossible to understand. I am very cognizant of the difficulties in the forest industry as a result of the pine beetle (I am a board member of the Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition). I realize that if the forest industry revenue is negatively affected then the government needs to move quickly to lower expenses. This they have done across the province, 204 staff have been given notice across the province, 80 in the southern interior.

To the editor Walkers and cyclists challenged to try motoring the trail To the editor So I just had to say something on this KVR and quads/dirt bikes topic. I been hearing of this ever since I got here, and well, to be honest ... I ride it. So I figured I’d give my two cents. I don’t understand why folks want to stop the quads, dirt bikes, side by sides and sleds from using it, when these are the folks that generally use it. You get out past a certain distance and that’s all you would see. You don’t see folks strolling or riding bicycles out past a certain distance. Well I have... like three times. Half of the folks that whine of us riding it probably haven’t been out that far, and have no clue what’s out there. Why stop all these folks from using it? it really doesn’t make sense. In the summer months look around and you will notice that more then half the trucks roaming about Princeton are hauling quads and/or dirt bikes. Many of the visiting vehicles are hauling them as well. You may not see some, because they are inside the trailers they are towing. Its a huge industry, with thousands of people taking trips just to do such things ... quad, side by side, and ride dirt bikes. Why take such a thing away from us because of those three people that used it once in the last bunch of years? Why take it away from the people that actually enjoy it, and appreciate it? I love it! It’s a great day for me to just get out, enjoy the sights, fresh air and keep me in shape. It’s also a great family day when my kids come along. Grand memories and the kids can’t wait for the season to begin, so we can go out and explore and have a blast. I think that folks who whine of us riders ... thinking you should give it a go. Maybe get Reicharts to supply

a few quads for you folk to come out and try it. See and feel what we get to see and feel. But a warning to you - Don’t get on any of these things unless your willing to buy one because it’s awesome, and you will definitely be wanting one after you give it a go. And you will see what all the fuss is about. It doesn’t have to be fast and wild, it can be a leisurely stroll, just out and about enjoying our back yard. Enjoying what it has to offer. Have a lunch in the middle of nowhere amongst the trees, or on top of a mountain with a grand view. I hear many people whine of what Princeton doesn’t have. Why not try thinking of what it does have? There are a lot of these types of vehicles in folks’ yards, and many more coming as everyone gets into it, especially the folks that are transplants. I wouldn’t take it away. I’d open it up. Guess I should say right here – yes, there are (insert bad word here). But that shouldn’t affect us all. And we as riders should also police such folk, that ruin it for everyone. Don’t rip it up close to town, where the majority of folks stroll. Have a bit of courtesy and slow up as you pass these folks – and till you are well past them. Soon there will be none and the trail is all ours, because no one is out there. Don’t stop us from riding it, leave us be to enjoy it. It’s pretty much a way of life for many of us, and our families. It truly is a family thing. Promote it, and make it a destination. But don’t overly promote it – don’t want it to get too busy. Hidden gem ... our little secret. Danni Louvros Princeton B

To the editor Prior to 2014 if you were to ask me if property zoning could be changed without proper mail out notification to landowners I would have said this would not be legal or possible, in a democratic country. Welcome to BC and Princeton in particular. It took close to eight months after the fact to learn that M2 heavy industry zoning on Granby had been changed to residential behind my back, and 100% against my wishes. I was not alone. A number of other businesses on Burton Avenue, Similkameen Avenue and Granby were also caught up in this sweeping change. To say the very least I am thoroughly disgusted. It would seem that

all of us concerned were guilty of not reading our local papers. I suppose that all Princeton taxpayers should be please, after all we taxpayers were saved about seven or eight dollars at 2013 postal rates. I suspect that our CAO knows perfectly well what is legal, but whether or not it is, does not change the fact that this was a very sneaky move that effectively backstabs all of the concerned businesses that are sizable taxpayers in this town. This rezoning should be repealed and the mayor, the former council and the CAO owe us an apology and ought to be ashamed of themselves. Jim Hodge Princeton

“Sneaky” zoning change should be repealed

Naturalists encounter mini blizzard To the editor Eight Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists had to quickly form a plan B on Saturday, April 25th, when our route to Barcelo Falls, east of Keremeos, was blocked because of the highway closure. The base of Stemwinder Mountain was within view, so we took the path of least resistance and drove up to kilometer seven, where we embarked on a trail to the top of the mountain. This is a similar trek to one we did on snowshoes in the winter, but

we managed to take a slightly different route this time. Snow on the ground and trees made for a picturesque trek, and as we began climbing we felt as though we’d stepped back a season and entered a winter wonderland. The morning was cool but we kept warm with the exercise and after 1.25 hours we reached the top, where we were enveloped in fog. Nevertheless, we stayed awhile to relax, eat and drink, and as we watched, the curtains of mist began to part and we were able to enjoy

Celebration of Life for

partial views of Mascot Mine across the valley, and extended views of the Similkameen River to the east. Patches of blue sky began to appear and we hoped for sunshine, but instead it began to snow as we headed back down the mountain, and during the last half of our return trip we were beset by a mini blizzard. Our next field trip will be Saturday, May 9th, when Charlotte Sellers will lead us on a

hike to the Cinder Cone. Please phone 295-6079 to confirm attendance and meet at Billy’s parking lot at 9 am. Our next meeting will be held Tuesday, May 12th, 7 pm at Riverside Centre, with guest speaker Rob Marshall, whose topic of interest is “Weyerhaeuser Projects in Princeton.” The public is always welcome to attend either field trips or meetings!

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and this special holiday serves to honor all those women who devote so much time and effort to their families. While gifts and other trinkets are certainly part of the celebration, a vast majority of children opt to treat Mom to a night out on the town come Mother’s Day. Not only does this give mom a night off from cooking, but also it presents an opportunity to get dressed up and spend time together as a family. A vast number of families travel to their favorite restaurants for Mother’s Day meals. Mother’s Day is one of the busiest holidays of the year for restaurants. More than half of North Americans include dining out in Mother’s Day celebrations. Billions of dollars are generated by people eating out with their mothers. With large crowds to be expected, diners can follow a few tips when treating Mom to a meal. * Book early ... very early. To guarantee a reservation at any

restaurant, namely your favorite restaurant, you will need to make a reservation well in advance of Mother’s Day. * Expect to wait. Even with a reservation, you’re bound to spend some time waiting at the restaurant. Other families may be lingering at their tables, as no one wants to rush Mom out of the door. Plan accordingly for a potentialwait time. Have plenty of snacks and drinks on hand for young children, as well as activities to keep them entertained. * Consider dining out a day before or after. Restaurants are generally packed on Mother’s Day, and as a result kitchen and wait staffs might be overtaxed. What’s more, diners might be relegated to a special or abbreviated menu. If you want a more relaxed setting and the ability to order whatever you desire, it may be a better idea to celebrate Mother’s Day in advance. Then have Mom enjoy a relaxing day at home on her special day. * Take-out is an option.

Families can treat Mom to a dinner out, without really having to go out. Many restaurants offer takeout service, so you will not be limited to pizza or Chinese. * Expect an included gratuity. Restaurants often include a gratuity in the bill when servicing larger parties, such as those that might be celebrating Mother’s Day. The standard gratuity rate is 18 percent, but you may want to go above and beyond if you feel the service is exemplary. * Hire a sitter for young kids. Although Mother’s Day is a chance for the entire family to spend time together, the main goal is to ensure Mom’s comfort and happiness. If very young children are in tow, she may not be able to relax and enjoy her meal. Infants will need to be fed, and toddlers may be easily distracted. Have a sitter watch little ones when adults are dining out, and then Mom can enjoy time with the kids when she returns home for more celebrating.

Great gift ideas for green Moms everywhere uum for Mother’s Day. However, if your mother is an avid cook or baker, she may appreciate some new mixing bowls or utensils made from recycled materials. If Mom is the consummate entertainer, get her new glass tumblers and sipping straws made from recycled glass. They are perfect for serving cocktails and entertaining.

* Pamper mom with organic products. What mom doesn’t enjoy a little pampering from time to time? You can treat your mother to a spa experience at home by assembling a basket full of organic shampoo, conditioner, massage oils, bath salts, and any other organic spa items you can find. * Spend the day out-

doors. Most moms cherish any gift from their children, whether lavish or simple. A nice, ecofriendly gift is to spend time together. Research local parks or hiking trails and plan a day where you both commune with nature. Plan to finish the day with a picnic lunch.

Mom’s Favourites are here! Baskets, Annuals, Hardy Perennials.

Gardening tools and supplies, bedding plants, seeds, seedlings and soil make great gifts

Mom may appreciate chocolate or flowers. But for children who want to offer her something a little different -especially for their ecoconscious moms -- there are a number of gift options to make Mom’s big day as eco-friendly as it is enjoyable. An eco-friendly gift for Mom is a gift that keeps on giving. When you jot down your gift idea list, think about adding these “green” gifts. * Make a basket of gardening gear. Garden plants and supplies are perhaps the greenest gifts to give Mom. Plants are so plentiful and varied that there are bound to be ideal flowers or greenery for every mother’s tastes. Compile different gardening essentials, such as seeds or seedlings, organic soil mix, mulch, all-natural compost, and a few different planting containers. You can also include gardening gloves and ergonomic

tools made of recycled materials. Finish the gift with the inclusion of a book that describes different garden designs and gives tips for beginners. * Dine at a local restaurant. Many families take Mom out for a meal on her special day. To make the experience eco-friendly, select among restaurants that are close to home in the area. Explore the possibilities of restaurants

that may serve foods made with local, organic ingredients. If you cannot find such a restaurant, do not worry, just choose a local establishment to conserve fuel. * Pay for a car tuneup. Improving the gas mileage on Mom’s car is one gift that can be environmentally friendly Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve Mom’s gas mileage by as much

as 40 percent. Also, be sure to have her car tires properly inflated. She can be losing gas mileage by 0.3 percent for every 1 psi drop in all four tires. Getting an oil change with the recommended grade of motor oil is another gas mileage improvement measure. * Purchase ecofriendly kitchen items. It may be a major faux pas to give Mom an appliance or a new vac-

Add elegance to your brunch Having the family over for Mother’s Day brunch. Follow these simple tips and ideas to make it a memorable occasion. 1. Wow with a creative tablescape: Creating the perfect tablescape for your brunch will depend on what you’re serving and your personal aesthetic. Are you into rustic chic? Try a burlap table runner and fill various sized vases with fresh baby’s breath – for an added touch, tie a bow of twine around the vases. For a more elegant feel, stick to white linens and mismatched vintage china, along with soft florals. The combinations are endless so be creative.

2. Mouthwatering menu: Food should be the focal point of any brunch gathering so why not keep things fun, interactive and easy with a DIY menu. Create a waffle bar with a combination of sweet and savory toppings or a granola bar where guests can whip up their favourite bowl of goodness. Balance things out with a big fruit salad and a few store bought croissants. 3. Simple Sippers: No brunch gathering is complete without a refreshment bar. Provide guests the chance to mix and match their own combinations by offering a number of different juices, garnishes and toppers.

Beware of on-line scams when shopping for Mom Mother’s Day is around the corner and while scammers may love their mom’s too, they’ll think nothing of scamming you and your mom out of your cash. “Mother’s Day is one of the biggest spending times of the year after Christmas,” say Evan Kelly, Senior Communications Advisor for BBB serving Mainland BC. “Flower shopping online is fast and convenient, but not without its risks. While the vast majority of people are thrilled with their purchases, others have learned these transactions can lead to profound disappointment.” As with any special time of the year, BBB warns of potential scams when shopping for Mom: Flowers: • Start with trust. Check out the company with BBB at www. mbc.bbb.org to see what other consumers’ expe-

riences have been. You may end up saving yourself a lot of grief and disappointment. • Allow time for shipping. Check with the retailer to make sure that you have allowed enough time for delivery by your specified date. Make sure that this date is specified clearly and guaranteed when you order. If you order ahead of time, delivery and other charges may be less than a last minute order. • Ask around. Recommendations from friends are always a good bet. • Search for location. Does the online flower shop have a brick and mortar store to contact if there is a problem? E-Cards: • Don’t open any e-cards that don’t have your children’s name in them. • E-cards with generic “From your kids!!” could be fake. • Opening non-specific e-cards can subject

your computer to malware. • Call your kids to see if they did in fact send an e-card. • Look for spelling mistakes like ‘Congratulation!’ or if names are spelled wrong. • Any doubts, just delete it.

Gift Card Scams: • Don’t purchase gift cards from pop-ups in social media. • Go to the website of, or the store where you wish to purchase the gift card. • Make sure the code on the back has not been

revealed. • If buying online, makes sure your antivirus programs are up to date. • Point of purchase website should begin with https:// • They should have no expiration date.

The Princeton Girl Guides and Brownies went on a sleepover adventure at the Vancouver Aquarium April 25-26. Everyone had an incredible time, stopping in Manning Park, Hope and Stanley Park before embarking on the adventure of a lifetime; a behind the scenes tour and a sleep along side the Beluga Whale tank. The staff at the aquarium was incredible and the program ran smoothly. The Princeton Guiding community would like to thank Lora Nield, Butch Kavanagh as well as Rotary, Tri-Valley, K&M Trucking, Mac’s Auto Parts, Princeton Redi Mix, The Hut and Ron Harkness and everyone who purchased Girl Guide cookies. A huge thank you from Princeton Brownies goes to Butch Kavanagh.

Community Land Trust could breathe life into Hedley Tara Bowie Spotlight Staff

A community based land ownership arrangement could be one solution for challenges created by an aging population, youth-out migration and lack of affordable housing the Similkameen Valley Planning Society heard. Kim English and former Area G director Angelique Wood along with several community and industry partners in the real estate, health and education fields are researching the idea of bringing a Community Land Trust (CLT) to the Similkameen. English and Wood presented information at the SVPS annual general meeting at the Grist Mill recently and were to share the presentation with Princeton town council Monday night. A Community Land Trust is a nonprofit organization that develops

and stewards affordable housing and other community assets on behalf of the community. “We know the majority (of senior residents) want to leave Hedley feet first but don’t know how they’re going to do that,” English said during the SVPS AGM Currently about 20 per cent of Hedley’s homes are vacant and for sale for a variety of reasons ranging from increased medical needs, finding employment out of area, and death. In addition to fewer people living in the community, the area’s population is well above the provincial average for seniors. About 22 per cent of the area’s population falls between the ages of 70 and 90 plus. Fifty-three per cent falls between the ages of 56 to 90 plus. “These people are going to need supports to stay in their commu-

nities. We need to draw younger people here to help out in the community, to volunteer, to maintain the services and activities that we have and provide services for the seniors that want to stay living here,” English said. Wood explained that CLTs are unique to each community. Each one has its own guidelines and purposes. The idea behind a Hedley CLT is to offer affordable housing and a chance for people to own instead of rent so they are building equity. A Hedley CLT would buy properties with homes on them. The property itself would be held in the trust while a person who meets the criteria setup by the CLT buys the home on the land. “In Hedley for example like many other communities there are people who are paying rent

much higher than what a mortgage would be,” Wood said. Wood went on to say she knew several seniors who were forced to make tough decisions about meeting their basic

needs, buying medication versus food, because their rent was too high. The CLT could have the first right to buy back the home from the seller meaning a professional or young family look-

ing to move to the area wouldn’t have to worry about whether their home would sell if they needed to move on. “Something like this could address many of the challenges we are

facing,” she said. Those working on the CLT are in the process of securing funders and hope to transfer two properties into the organization during the second phase of the project.
