Is Princeton town council underpaid?

Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

When it comes to paying the people who manage Princeton, the town appears on par with other BC municipalities of similar size.

When it comes to paying the people who govern the town, it could be said Princeton taxpayers are getting a bit of a deal.

Last week council released its 2014 Statement of Financial Information (SOFI), which includes the disclosure of remuneration and expenses for all elected officials as well as employees who earn more than $75,000.

In total last year Princeton taxpayers paid town council $54,141 and reimbursed council members $17,428 in expenses. Mayor Frank Armitage was paid $20,958 and claimed expenses of $5,509.44.

Councillors Kim Maynard and Doug Pateman, who were returned to their seats in the October election by acclamation, were paid $10,478 each, and claimed expenses of $7,370 and $4,421 respectively. New councillors Rosemary Doughty and Jerome Tjerkstra earned $873 and neither submitted expenses. Former councilors Jason Earle and Marilyn Harkness earned a respective $873 and $9,605.

By way of comparison the council for Invermere earns $68,816, according to its 2013 SOFI, with the mayor earning $20,240, and each of four councilors each receiving $12,144.

The council for the city of Enderby is paid $64,969 (2013), with the mayor receiving $15,642 and six councillors earning between $7,521 and $9,141 each.

Most recent census numbers put Princeton’s population at 2,742. Invermere has 2,955 residents and Enderby has 2,932.

In 2014 Princeton spent $1.169 million in salaries for employees, while Enderby’s labor costs are $1.043 million (2013) and payroll in Invermere is $1.610 million.

Five Princeton employees earned in excess of $75,000 in 2014.

Chief Administrative Officer Rick Zerr was the top town wage earner receiving $127,133. Zerr also claimed the most in expenses, at $8,983. That compares to CAOs in Invermere and Enderby, who earn $148,357 and $100,459 respectively.

Princeton’s Chief Financial Officer Shirley McMahon earned $86,376.09 last year and claimed $2,246 in expenses.

Kevin Huey, Princeton’s Director of Parks and Infrastructure, earned $87,376 with $2,246 in expenses. Ken Gibson, Public Works Foreman, took home $82,270 and Britt Fraser, water and wastewater operator, earned 79,578.

Dozens of people turned out Saturday for the Princeton Secondary School’s paint run, in support of the new Princeton Health Care Sustainability Society. The 5 km run attracted teams of four, each paying $100, and was truly a colorful fundraiser.

Town workers were still tweaking the gardens and tidying the sidewalks Friday morning, but at 3 p.m. Princeton’s new Visitor Centre on Bridge Street was ready for its official grand opening. The centre – which will be open seven days a week during the summer – is located in the remodeled and former town hall. According to director of infrastructure Kevin Huey the renovations came in under the $75,000 budget. On hand to cut the ribbon were, left to right, recreation director Nadine McEwen, Councillor Rosemary Doughty, CAO Rick Zerr, Councillor Doug Pateman, Councillor Jerome Tjerkstra, Councillor Kim Maynard, MLA Jackie Tegart, Chamber of Commerce president Brenda Crawford and centre co-ordinator Lori Thomas.

Coalmont wins fight for phone Summer reprieve Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

Persistence has paid off for Coalmont residents who have won their fight with Telus for a new payphone in the community.

Local business owners Bob and Diane Sterne, who spearheaded the campaign for the new phone in a story broadcast across the country, learned last week the phone that was obliterated in a car crash will be replaced.

“Basically they decided to do the right thing which is fabulous but a week before I wouldn’t have held my breath,” said Bob Sterne.

Coalmont’s only public phone offering 24-7 access was destroyed when it was struck by a car March 29, while the phone was in use. Rolly Giroux was later charged with attempted murder in connection with the incident.

Almost immediately villagers learned Telus had no plans to replace the phone. The telecommunications company said the phone was rarely used, and often required repair. Another payphone was available to residents inside the Coalmont Pub, the company said.

The Sternes circulated a petition, contacted all levels of government, and approached the media, without success. Sterne stressed the importance of the phone in the village that is without cellular service, and where many residents do not have

their own phones. The phone is crucial for calling emergency services. “I think the big thing is the 911 services because it is right near the Kettle Valley trail,” he said.

“We were pretty much running out of ideas on how to proceed. Diane decided to do a kind of Hail Mary and she looked up all the names of the Telus executives that she could think of and sent out an email to a whole bunch of the executives and one guy – it landed on his desk and he said ‘we should probably deal with this.’”

A response and apology came from Telus president and chief corporate officer Josh Blair.

In an email to Diane Sterne he said “…we didn’t communicate effectively enough that we have been pursing an alternate, viable solution. To this end, I am pleased to share that we now plan to install a new phone, with pay-based calling capability, in a new outdoor location that we believe will be more sustainable over the longer term.”

The new phone will be located on the outside of Coalmont’s Telus building on the north side of Front Street, while the payphone inside the Coalmont Pub will be removed. The new payphone will have free calling to 911, credit card calling, collect calls through an operator, but no coin slots.

“We just dug in our heels because we weren’t going to give up until there was no hope left,” said Sterne.

Former grow-op homes trashed Spotlight Staff

Two rural homes that were formerly used as grow-ops were vandalized last Wednesday, and police suspect the incidents are related.

The properties were previously owned by the same individual.

“We are thinking it could have been possibly a grow rip with people who don’t have up to date information,” said Sergeant Barry Kennedy, Princeton RCMP detachment commander.

Emily Shepperd of Princeton, and her family, purchased one of the cabins, on Princeton Summerland Road, last October to use as a vacation retreat.

“All the windows and the doors have to be replaced,” she said. “They smashed everything up, all the mirrors in the bathroom, the toilet got smashed and the bathtub and the shower enclosure, all that got smashed. …even the stove, microwave and coffee maker.”

Shepperd couldn’t place a dollar value on the damage, and added the home was not yet insured due to difficulties obtaining a policy because of the property’s history.

She said it could have been much more serious if she or her husband had been home.

“My husband was there the morning previous and he just happened to go on the afternoon the next day. It’s a good thing no one was there at the time.

What are these people thinking? What do they have in their minds? What would they have done to us?”

The second property vandalized is on Old Merritt Road, where police were called to attend Wednesday morning. While vandals broke into the home damage is only about $200, according to Kennedy.

“When they realized there was nobody living there they left,” he said.

for ATV trail riders Spotlight Staff

It will be business as usual this summer for ATVs and other motorized vehicles along the Kettle Valley Trail in Princeton.

A committee charged with studying the feasibility of banning motorized vehicles on the local trail has been given up to six months to reach conclusions. At the same time, the implementation of provincial regulations requiring ATVs to be registered and plated that were to come into effect June 1, have been deferred until November.

Councillor Doug Pateman heads the committee grappling with how to regulate motorized vehicles on the trail. The committee was struck last month after council met resistance to a proposed bylaw banning motorized vehicles on the trail in town boundaries.

The committee was originally given six weeks to make recommendations, however Pateman asked for more time “just to make sure we are

covering all the bases.”

The group has met twice, said Pateman. Its members include councillor Kim Maynard, the town by law officer, a member of the RCMP, and other interested parties including a representative of the trail society.

“We’ve been looking at a lot of different ways of policing it, different ways of controlling it,” said Pateman.

Pateman said he has received considerable feedback about the issue, and noted there seems to be a lot of confusion about what is being discussed. For example, many people coming forward have confused the new provincial regulations with plans the town is making.

Many people from out of town have shared their views, Pateman added.

He said Area H residents concerned about restrictions on the Princeton trail should contact their RDOS director.

“I have to represent the town of Princeton and the people who live in the town,” he said.

A Canadian problem

Police first suspected that Teresa Robinson was mauled and killed by a bear, or perhaps set upon by wild dogs.

Partial remains of the eleven-year-old’s body were found several days after she disappeared from her Garden Hill First Nation home in Northern Manitoba.

She was last seen leaving a birthday party at about 9 p.m. May 5th. Along her way, she might have been thinking about her own upcoming birthday celebration. She was to be 12 in a week.

Teresa Robinson was indeed killed by a wild animal.

A human one.

RCMP are now investigating the child’s death as a homicide. Her picture has already been added to on-line photo galleries of missing and murdered Aboriginal women, even as family and friends continued to search the area around her home for pieces of her body and her scattered possessions. They discovered a bracelet, and a pair of shoes.

There are uncomfortable questions associated with Teresa’s disappearance and death. Why did the child’s family not begin searching right away, when she didn’t arrive home? Why did it take three days for someone to call the RCMP and report her missing?

It’s curious as well that in the wake of this horrific murder the calls for a national inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women have been muted at best – when under like circumstances they are usually full-throated.

Of course Teresa was killed on a reserve. And there are people who think that makes a difference.

Last month the RCMP released information supporting that 70 per cent of murdered aboriginal women are killed by aboriginal men, implying nottoo subtly that the issue of more than one thousand dead or missing Aboriginal women is foremost a First Nation’s problem.

Imagine a study that reveals the majority of Chinese women who are murdered are murdered by Chinese men (They probably are, given that most murder victims know their killers). No one would think of suggesting that’s a Chinese issue, and one that should be considered by the Chinese community alone.

The statistics that are truly relevant are these: aboriginal women account for 16% of all female homicides and 11.3% of missing women. That is three to four times higher than the representation of aboriginal women in the Canadian population, which is 4.3%.

A national inquiry into violence against Aboriginal women is long overdue.

It doesn’t matter if Teresa Robinson was killed on a reserve, in downtown Princeton, on a boat three miles off the coat of Vancouver or in an airplane flying 10,000 feet over Manitoba.

She is just as dead. She is dead on our watch, on our government’s watch.

Eventually we will have leadership that recognizes missing and murdered aboriginal women are a Canadian problem. The long sought-after inquiry will be underway. It will be the first step towards understanding the root causes of this holocaust, finding solutions, and eventually safety and justice.

One of the only things we know right now for certain is these women aren’t being killed by bears, or wild dogs. - AD PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY Annual subscription: $35.24 locally, $54.29 elsewhere in Canada.

Gratitude and a passion for trucks make a good life Art Martins livingsignificantly.ca

When Linda and I walked into the former business office of 87 year old Rollo Ceccon in Princeton, he greeted us enthusiastically. Then, with the energy and passion characteristic of the deeply committed, he urged us to join him at a photo gallery on three walls. There were pictures of him with dump trucks and other equipment dating back to before the middle of the past century. I understood quickly this man grasps the value of preserving a record for future generations.

“I was born in Treviso, Italy,” he said when we had seated ourselves at his desk. “In 1930 my mother and I joined my father in Canada.

As I was growing up, my father impressed on me how good we have it here. If I complained he’d say ‘you should go to another country and see how people live there.’”

As a father himself, Rollo would later give a similar message to his son and daughter.

He attended the Edmonton campus of Chicago Vocational School, learning diesel and automotive mechanics. Not happy with his

first job and the big mosquitoes at Uranium City, he quit and was hired by Minneapolis Honeywell Thermostats. Being young and strong willed, he said to his boss one day, “if I don’t get more pay, I’ll quit.” The boss said “there’s the door.” Rollo laughed when he told us, “I never did that again.”

In 1950 he bought his first truck, a 1944 three-ton Ford, and started in business. He became a fan of Ford trucks. “The other models broke down,” he said. “The six cylinder engines couldn’t hold the trucks back going down the hill from Copper Mountain and Blackburn. I bought eight cylinder Fords.”

A serious accident on Nov. 10, 1954 shaped his thinking to the present time. He was backing his dump truck to the edge of a 1,000 foot deep “glory hole.” The edge broke away. He and his truck tumbled down 250 feet. A rock outcropping prevented the truck from hurtling all the way to the bottom.

The man sent down to help rescue Rollo later told him, “I thought you were dead. Then blood spurting from your head wound hit me in the eye, so I knew your heart was

pumping.” Three hours later the winch of a D6 Cat hoisted him to the surface. He had six broken vertebrae, several broken ribs and a broken leg. Wounds on his head required 120 stitches. He remained unconscious two weeks. “That day my father’s hair turned white in one hour.”

In the hospital he was placed in a body cast. After regaining consciousness the specialist said to him one day, “we’ve done all we can. The rest is up to you.” Rollo was determined to get out of the hospital. Now in a walking cast and using crutches, he signed himself out. Four months later, still in the cast and on crutches, he was back at work.

He leaned toward us from his side of the desk, as though about to say something of deep importance.

“If I hadn’t had that accident,” he continued quietly, “I would never have understood how good I have it. People helped me a lot.”

Before the accident, he had started going into the Traveller’s Café.

He became keenly interested in Blanche, a pretty young waitress.

“It took a long time to persuade her

Rollo Ceccon, 1953.

to go to a movie,” he remembers.

Eventually she agreed to marry him and “we tied the knot on March 2, 1957. That day I threw away my crutches and started using a cane.”

Rollo’s business was flourishing. He bought dump trucks, a back hoe, a screening plant and other equipment. Blanche did the books.

When the Hope slide covered Highway 3, his was the first company on the job. “One of my machines blew a line,” he said. “Phil Gaglardi, Minister of Highways, had just landed in a chopper. He told me to

remove the line and he’d fly me to Chilliwack to get a new one.”

Until 2013 he still owned a front end loader. Without charge, he continued to clear snow for the Legion, firehall and arena. In 1973 the Princeton Chamber of Commerce named him “Citizen of the Year.”

He was also honoured by the Lions Club for his “invaluable services and cooperation.”

Rollo’s last words to us were, “I’ve had a good life and it’s still good.”

Stories about the “helmet Nazi” sleeping for a week with that broken helmet, carrying it around in the van, taking it into the hockey dressing room to demonstrate the importance of bike safety and even stopping along the side of the road to share it with random helmetless children are not exaggerated.

There are a number of events each May across the country to promote the excellent benefits of cycling. Monday was Canada’s National Bike Day. As your kids head out the door for their bikes this spring remember these sobering statistics from the Canadian Paediatric Society.

Bicycling injuries are the fifth leading cause of child and youth hospitalization in Canada. Head injuries account for one half of all bicycling injuries in children and youth and ultimately between 45% and 100% of all child and youth bicycling deaths.

Be smart.

No sentence yet for killer Dale Boyd Western News Staff

The final decision on the sentence for the man found guilty of a double murder in Princeton may not come until the fall.

John Ike Koopmans was convicted of the second degree murders of Robert Keith Wharton and Rosemary Fox, as well as the attempted murder of Bradley Martin. A jury found Koopmans guilty in April.

The matter has been before the court twice since Koopmans was found guilty for the shootings that took place on March 30, 2013 in Princeton, both instances delayed the sentencing.

Local plans underway to combat youth drug addiction Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

A youth drop in centre may be the first step in addressing what some people feel is the growing problem of youth drug addiction in Princeton.

Princeton residents concerned about drugs and youth met last week with Mayor Frank Armitage and members of the RCMP. “It was a good meeting,” said JoAnne Tomusiak, who organized the sit-down when her 14-year-old grandson became addicted to drugs after moving to Princeton.

“The mayor was very open to what we were discussing, the drug situation in town plus the ideas that we are all coming up with and hopefully that we can get into place.”

Tomusiak said the possibility of using Riverside Centre as a place for young people to gather was discussed, and she is now working with another Princeton woman, Brandy Martin, to solidify plans.

Princeton CAO Rick Zerr, who also attended last week’s meeting, said town recreation workers are now looking at ways they could staff and organize a drop in centre.

About ten people from the community turned out for the meeting, which was publicized on Facebook and in The Spotlight.

RCMP sergeant Barry Kennedy said his message to the group was to encourage residents to report drug related activity.

“I think the main thing that came out of that meeting was that people are going to be calling us when they see drug deals going down, when they are being threatened by drug dealers, that’s the key.”

While the question of resurrecting the town’s defunct Citizen’s on Patrol committee was raised, Kennedy said that is likely an impractical option given the amount of liability, red tape, and volunteer hours it involves.

“To start it up again would be labor intensive,” he said. “It doesn’t prevent [people] from when they are out in their groups phoning into police when they see something.”

Kennedy said eradicating drug trafficking in any community is often frustrating for police.

“We know who the drug dealers are in town but when we check them walking downtown they don’t have drugs on them when they are walking downtown and if they did, you need a warrant to search them in the first place.”

Kennedy called the public discussion about drug use “encouraging…. That’s when the people start the rally and want something done and are willing to provide information. We can do something with the information.”

Tomusiak hopes to interest more residents in getting on board with a war against drugs in Princeton.

“The ones that are out there and saying something should be done, please come and help us. Contact us and come and help.”

er or not a Gladue report would be prepared, which requires the court to take into account circumstances facing Aboriginal people and consider these circumstances during sentencing.

On April 11, the day the jury’s verdict was read, Skogstad asked that a Gladue report be prepared due to Koopmans’ indigenous heritage on his mother’s side.

On Tuesday, the matter was adjourned again to July 13 due to a delay in the preparation of the presentence report.

Koopmans faces a mandatory minimum of two life sentences and the recommendations from seven jurors is that he serve a 15-year minimum before being eligible for parole.

Justice Miriam Maisonville will take the jury’s recommendations into account when sentencing Koopmans.

~ Thank You ~ We would like to express our sincere heartfelt thanks to the Princeton community of caregivers that assisted our family in the passing of Ritta Baker. The 911 operator who provided instructions and guidance until the arrival of the paramedic team that went into action so quickly.

To Dr. Black and the attending nurses at the hospital - your professionalism, warmth and guidance are much appreciated. To the many friends, from this great town of Princeton, your many acts of kindness are happily received - we thank you.

Murv Baker, Hansen, Norris, Jensen, Waterfield, Villeneuve & Weeks families.

Federal government fails music festival Spotight Staff

A recently announced $5,500 community gaming grant is sweet news for Princeton’s Traditional Music Festival as funding has dried up from a federal government Heritage Canada program.

The money will go to pay travel expenses for the festival’s many performers, said co-organizer Rika Ruebsaat.

“We are thrilled about the gaming grant and we are highly grateful to the BC government for

helping to keep us afloat,” said Ruebsaat.

While the federal government has supported the festival from its inception in 2008, to the tune of about $5,000 a year, last year it cut funding for the event to $2,000 and this year declared the music festival ineligible.

“They said it had nothing to do with the merits of the festival, that we didn’t fit their criteria.”

Ruebsaat said the festival no longer qualifies under the Local

Community’s Festival’s program as the majority of performers do not live in the area.

“This is local heritage. Just because the performers don’t come from here doesn’t mean its not local heritage.”

The provincial government also recently announced a $8,500 community gaming grant for the Kokanee Summer Swim Club Society to assist with its summer swim club programs.

Natural gas is used safely in B.C. every day. But if you smell rotten eggs, go outside first, then call us.

Starting this Saturday night May 30 there will be a 50’s & 60’s Sock Hop held in the hall at the Legion. There will be prizes for best costumes, live music by Turtle Valley and tickets are only $10. This is an adult event.

For adults as well on June 13 at 7 pm we will have our Female Impersonators back.

Come and hear them do their own vocals using our new sound system all for only $15. Pick up tickets for these two events at the Legion.

On Saturday June 6 we extend our

invitation to All Veterans and their spouses to join us at 1 pm in our lounge for Lunch.

You do not need to be a Legion member to attend. This is the 71st Anniversary of D-Day. Please let the Legion office know if you will be attending, 250 295 6060.

Landfill users feel dumped on by staff To the editor On Sunday May 10, 2015 we had the necessity to use the town of Princeton landfill with some garbage and re-useable items for the flea market.

Unfortunately we were unaware of the changes that had been made in our absence. We have a seasonal home on Allison Lake and might stress we also pay taxes.

We were appalled at the way we were treated, we took a wrong turn and were told by a very rude and

aggressive individual that the town had paid $2,000.00 for signs and we should have read them. We also experienced a bit of attitude from another male in the flea market area. Yes, we got a bit confused by all the signs but on the other hand people that work in a public area should at least be taught respect, manners and how NOT to treat people.

A little friendly help would have been appreciated.

W & C Rutherford Allison Lake, B.C.

first ones to complete the race. To get in on the excitement make sure you buy a duck ticket. Tickets for a duck will be on sale in the weeks prior to the duck races at only $5 for each chance. Following release of the ducks about 8 am there’s another $5 breakfast of pancakes & sausage but this time at the Water Park on Thomas/Lime Streets.

Saturday July 11 the Annual Legion Golf tournament with 9 holes, prizes and BBQ will be taking place. You must preregister and get your ticket prior to this date at the Legion lounge!

The last big family event for summer will be the Legions annual Fishing Derby held at Chain Lake. The weekend is August 8 & 9th. Registration is at the Lake starting at 7 am. Adults $10 and Kids are free.

There will be prizes and on Sunday morning there will be a pancake breakfast.

Business owners condemn zoning changes To the editor Further to the letter to the editor of Jim Hodge, I have recently learned that my zoning here on Old Hedley Road at N and L Services and across the road at Princeton Tire have also been changed without notification to the owner and totally against our wishes.

This is outrageous. How can this happen in a free country, and how do the mayor, council and CAO feel that they can do this and justify it without consulting with the taxpayer.

Where did the call for this change come from?

What has happened to our freedom? I never heard the train whistle on this railroad.

Personal stories highlight speech night

Andrea DeMeer

Reigning Princeton Ambassador Alex Burke calls public speaking “the most important skill this program will teach” the five candidates for Princeton Ambassador. Thursday night the Legion was packed with family members and fans to hear speeches from this year’s participants. The stories were personal and described challenges in each contestant’s life, from struggling with physical illness and injury, family break ups, and simply trying to manage the demands of a busy teenage schedule. The event was also promoted as “a chocolate extravaganza” and nobody left disappointed. Above Delorian Osborne, takes her time over a tray of sinfully sweet selections.

Katie Bartlett - Katie’s family has lived in Princeton for three generations.

She moved here at the age of two with her Mother Sandra and her brother Owen.

Katie attends Princeton Secondary School as a Grade 10 student. She has been in the 3 Crimson Time Players productions: Hansel and Gretel; A Christmas Story; and Yo Ho Ho A Pirate’s Christmas. Katie enjoys everything fitness; whether it is playing basketball for the Princeton Rebels, to any sport that is available to her, to hitting the gym on her free time. When Katie graduates she plans to follow her Mother’s footsteps to become a paramedic and achieve her Critical Care Taker (CCT) Certificate. She has completed her lifeguarding courses and plans to lifeguard to help her get through her future schooling. Katie is looking forward to the Ambassador Program and is very proud to be sponsored by the Princeton Rotary Club.

Princeton’s Ambassador race heats up

Kelsey Fuller - Kelsey was born in 1997 at the Queen Elizabeth II Hospital in Grande Prairie Alberta and moved to Princeton 4 years ago with her family. She is very active and in her spare time likes to figure skate, play volleyball, and do everything out doors; quading, camping, boating, swimming are some of her favorites. Some of her accomplishments include level one first aid, babysitting course, food safety course, and she has passed the test to get her driver’s license. Kelsey currently works part time at Shoppers Drug Mart. After high school she plans to go into a trade program and get her journeyman red seal ticket, she will then get a good job doing what she loves. But first she would like to travel. Kelsey joined the Princeton Ambassador program this year because she heard it was a lot of fun and wants to get over her fear of public speaking. She is proud to be sponsored by her family friends at the Tulameen Trading Post.

Hanna Gould - Hanna is a sixteen year old grade ten student who has lived in Princeton her whole life. Both the Gould and Lindley/Mullin sides of her family moved to Princeton five generations ago and live here still, providing her a tremendous amount of support. Hanna is proud to be sponsored by Billy’s Restaurant, where she works as a waitress in the summer.

Hanna loves the life of sports, keeping herself busy with practices along with school work.

She volunteers for her skating club, assisting with the little skaters who she loves and is happy to help. Hanna took a course in March to receive her coaching certification and will be a great help to the club when the coach cannot be there. Hanna is also an Official for Princeton Minor Hockey, currently the only female Referee/Linesman in Princeton. Hanna’s biggest goals in life are to get into the field of Orthodontics and to continue with her athletic programs.

Victoria Gibb - Victoria Gibb is a 16 year old grade 11 student at PSS. She was born in Prince George and moved to Princeton while still an infant. Recently, Victoria finished her lifeguarding course at our local pool. She enjoys teaching kids of all ages how to swim, and looks forward to continuing to teach water safety. Victoria likes the outdoors; being around plants and animals, and star gazing. She loves the company of others; playing board games and listening to music with them. Victoria’s passion is dancing. She is often the first to get up on the dance floor, encouraging others to join her. She loves to see people smile and does her very best to make everyone happy. Victoria’s favourite subject in school is Art, especially painting and drawing. She also enjoys Biology, as she likes to learn about the human body and how it works. This interest may lead Victoria to becoming a Mortician. Victoria is very proud to be sponsored by Cooper’s Foods.

Thyme Callihoo - Thyme was born in New Westminster but has lived in Princeton since she was only three weeks old. She is the youngest of eight children from a blended family.

Thyme is a grade ten student at Princeton Secondary School and enjoys cheerleading, basketball and volleyball.

Thyme has been in three Crimson Tine Players Productions; Hansel & Gretel, A Christmas Story and Yo Ho Ho a Pirates Christmas. She has also worked at the local Subway for four years. Thyme has travelled across Canada to Nova Scotia, as well as south to Mexico. She hopes her next trip will be to Australia after graduation. Thyme is proud to be sponsored by her friends at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 56.

Second hand glamor Illegal dumping grounds

located on lake clean up

Deb Lyons

The Princeton Legion was packed Monday afternoon for the Ladies Hospital Auxiliary Fashion Show, featuring some of the most to-die-for outfits from the group’s popular thrift shop. There were numerous models on hand to show off the glamor including volunteer Eileen Bounds.

To the editor A solid effort was shown by 31 volunteers from the Chain, Link and Osprey Lake area for the 8th annual Roadside Cleanup on Saturday May 23, 2015.

The weather turned out perfect for the cleanup and for the potluck supper that evening. Thank you to all who attended and helped us make this event happen. You are the backbone of our community and a role model for others.

People hiked, biked, rode ATV’s and drove in vehicles to pick up 430 kilograms of trash thoughtless others had tossed.

We covered over 40 km of roads and TransCanada trails from Thirsk Dam to Jellicoe Rd. Both Osprey and Link Lake Forestry Recreation sites were included in our litter control efforts. Two illegal dump sites were

located and we removed some of the material found. We will be placing Illegal Dump Site signs at those locations and hope this will deter that behaviour in the future.

Collected materials for our cleanup included: metal, broken glass, material from a car crash, two 45 gallon bags of plastic, oil, paint cans, batteries, a mattress and propane tanks (some of which had been riddled with bullets.) Overall we also collected a 40 gallon bag of recyclable beverage cans and bottles. The money obtained from the beverage contain-

ers will be donated to a charity by a local resident.

The “Friends of Osprey Lake” would like to recognize those who supported the cleanup.

Thanks to Lynne Adams and Rob Miller for transporting the trash, The Osprey Lake Ratepayers Association for providing website advertising, Argo Maintenance in Princeton for providing us with large heavy duty trash bags, RDOS Area H Director, Bob Coyne for his support and encouragement and the landfill operators who were courteous and

prompt.

Finally we would like to send an immense word of thanks to the Town Council of Princeton who supported us by waiving the landfill fees once again.

Without the volunteers and support from the outlying community we could not have made this cleanup happen.

It takes a team effort to make our area safe and clean for all to use including the wildlife.

CAPRICORN: Capricorn, an authority figure wants to challenge you this week, so show him or her what you really are made of. Your ideas are valid, and you just need to assert yourself.

AQUARIUS: Aquarius, you are more than willing to give it your all this week.

You are accustomed to giving your best effort so this challenge should be nothing you can’t handle.

PISCES: Pisces, a tight schedule has you focused on the tasks at hand. You are more than capable of handling what’s on your plate.

ARIES: Career goals are front and center, Aries. Try to process any fears that may have held you back before now, and you will discover that those fears are unfounded.

TAURUS: This week you discover a good mix of creativity and practicality that you can put to use at work and at home, Taurus. Make it last as long as possible to reap the rewards.

GEMINI: Gemini, you are capable of making big decisions, but you’re not entirely sure if you want to just yet. Bide your time and think everything through for the next several days.

CANCER: Cancer, you have put in long hours on a big project, and now is the time to buckle down and put in one last great effort. After that you can finally relax.

LEO: Leo, things will fall into place sooner than you expect if you focus on the things that you can accomplish.

Wishing and hoping won’t get you far.

VIRGO: Virgo, others continue to send you mixed messages. While this may be confusing, soon you will learn to navigate others’ signals and make the right decisions.

LIBRA: Libra, your schedule is loaded with a lot of commitments. While things might seem hectic from time to time, remember that your hard work now will pay off in the future.

SCORPIO: Reevaluate what is most important to you and set a new plan in motion, Scorpio. Others will be very supportive and serve as sounding boards as you determine where to go next.

SAGITTARIUS: Sagittarius, take a deep breath and relax when faced with a difficult decision this week. Trust your instincts and make a decision you are truly confident in.

BAKER, RITTA

Age: 88 of 215 Fenchurch Ave, Princeton Passed: May 14, 2015 at Princeton General Hospital Born: Ritta Bessmann, March 21, 1927 in the City of Arhus, Denmark Ritta spent her early years living in Esberg, a port city on the west coast of Denmark.

It was here she received her education during the German occupation while 13 to 18 years of age. This experience had an effect all of her life. Moving to Copenhagen to continue her education, she married Poul Hansen, an architect where they raised three children: Inge, Bente, and Lars. With a strong desire to immigrate, the family chose to move to Canada in 1956. With children aged 2, 6 and 12, Ritta with family belongings came by boat to Halifax, then by train to Vancouver to join her husband. Anxious to get settled in her new country she got a job selling sewing machines from door to door and did very well. Not having driven a car in Denmark, she took one lesson, passed her driver’s test and was on her way. Always involved in independent sales she became a consistent high producer in real estate for the next 20 years.

For a change of pace Ritta, together with son Lars, started a travel agency in Coquitlam: Travel Network. It was through this course of events that she met a new member of the same program located in Maple Ridge; Murv Baker. Working together to establish their new business lead to more than just work, and marriage followed sharing 26 happy years together.

Ritta was active with the Danish Sisterhood and the Danish Lutheran Church in Burnaby. Always involved in community affairs and outdoor activities, camping was one of her favorites. Retiring to Princeton for health reasons allowed her to appreciate the value of the mountains and great outdoors. She has said the only time she was ever lonely was standing in the famous Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, only to wish she was home in Canada.

Ritta is survived by her husband Murvin of Princeton, son Lars of Port Moody, daughters Bente Hansen (Eric Waterfield) and Inge Norris of Powell River, Arlene (Paul) Villeneuve of Whonnock, Elaine (Harvey) Weeks of Creston, together with being blessed with 7 grandchildren. A Celebration of Ritta’s life will take place at a later date.

Condolences can also be sent to the family by visiting www.Hansonsfuneral.ca.
