Battle brews between businesses and town Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff
A battle over zoning is heating up in Princeton’s business community, as a group of property owners grapples with zoning changes they say are hitting them hard in the pocketbook. Last week Princeton CAO Rick Zerr announced the town will undertake a public review of the Official Community Plan (OCP) in 2016, which could be the first step in reversing zoning decisions that changed the designation of 27 industrial properties to residential use in November 2013. In an interview with The Spotlight Zerr said the OCP review is reopened routinely every few years, and is not coming about because of recent letters to the editor in the newspaper, or because of complaints the town has received from business property owners.
“I don’t care what’s motivated it,” said Susan Robinson, who owns Ace Hardware with her husband Pete on Burton Avenue. “I think what counts is that they are taking a second look. It’s a little slower than we would like to have it nonetheless.” Robinson said the municipality did not do enough 18 months ago to notify property owners about the now-controversial zoning changes. “I said [to the municipality] you may have met the letter of the law but you have not met the needs of the community. Every business owner I spoke to was not aware of the changes except the former mayor.” For some property owners, like Scott Cerny, an OCP review in the future is not enough to address the financial damages threatened by the 2013 zoning changes. He said he stands to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars because his property was rezoned

from industrial to residential. “I’ve got a piece of property right now that’s advertised for sale but there’s no way anyone is going to look at buying it because it will be residential for selling.” The property, on Burton Avenue, is the former location of a feed and seed business, which Cerny sold in 2012 and is currently leased to the Ministry of Transportation. As an industrial property the land was worth approximately $230,000, but Cerny estimates it would net only $30,000 on the residential market. Under the 2013 zoning by law, a property can only maintain its industrial designation as long as it is attached to the existing business. “It’s a touchy subject when you talk about people’s investments,” he said. “I’m not waiting for 2016. I think we need to get legal action happening, personally.” The seeds of the current conflict were
sown in 2008, when council drafted a new OCP designating industrial properties along Burton Avenue, Grande Avenue, Similkameen Avenue, Stoat Street, Old Hedley Road and Highway 3 as residential. Those intentions were implemented five years later in a zoning bylaw. According to Zerr – despite the fact that the town advertised each step of the process as required by BC legislation – no one from the business community came forward with concerns. “You would think they would be a little more engaged in the process.” Zerr said there were at least two public meetings held to discuss the OCP, and the zoning bylaw was passed at a public hearing where four or five people from the community attended. While Zerr was not on town staff in 2008 he said he believes council wanted to change continued page nine

CASCADE MEDICAL CENTER Princeton Physician Update Princeton and area residents are advised of the following change in physician coverage at Cascade Medical Clinic: Andrea DeMeer
Dr. Ryan Ridgway and Dr. Lynn Smart-Ridgway, along with dog Ella, are ready to meet and greet the animal lovers of Princeton. Spotlight Staff
A full time and full service veterinary clinic is the newest addition to Princeton’s downtown. Cascade Veterinary Services, owned and operated by the husband and wife team of Dr. Lynn Smart-Ridgway and Dr. Ryan Ridgway, opened Monday June 1. Half the couple has close ties to the area. “My family has been here for five generations,” said Smart-Ridgway. “We hope we are busy enough here to support a clinic and staff and to be here long term.” Previously the couple operated a veterinary practice centered in Swift Current,
Saskatchewan. According to Smart-Ridgway the town of Princeton demonstrates considerable demand for veterinary services. She said the new clinic will introduce local large animal care for area farmers and ranchers, as well as emergency after-hour care for both domestic and farm animals. The newly renovated clinic, at 240 Bridge Street, is equipped for full diagnostic, surgical and hospitalization services for cats and dogs. Mobile livestock and equine services will include reproductive services, mobile digital radiographs, ultrasound, and a wide

The doctors agree they’ve been warmly welcomed to Princeton, and have met many people who asked if they could speed up their opening. They are also impressed with the dogs they have met while getting their office ready for business in the downtown. “We get a lot of dogs walking by. It seems like a dog friendly town.”
On August 21, 2015, Dr. Devinder Sandhu will be closing her practice. Dr. Tim Van Der Heide will be taking over Dr. Sandhu’s practice following her departure.

Mom and son home from hospital after 14 months
Andrea DeMeer
Grayson and his mom Miranda Mezzatesta were guests of honor at an open house in Princeton on Sunday. Grayson was recenty released from Vancouver Women’s Hospital, where he has spent his entire life. Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff
To call Grayson a miracle baby doesn’t quite convey enough about miracles. “I can’t tell you how many doctors, how many nurses, from 12 weeks of pregnancy, told me he wasn’t going to make it,” says mom Miranda Mezzatesta. “Look into his eyes. He’s a fighter. He’s a warrior….he basically laughed at them.” At 15 months old Grayson has spent
nearly his entire life with Mezzatesta at Vancouver’s BC Women’s Hospital, in the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit. Released just a few weeks ago –still being fed through a tube and breathing all but 20 minutes a day with the aid of a machine – Grayson made his Princeton debut Sunday afternoon at a special event planned in his honor at Riverside Centre. “It’s just been a really long journey,” says Mezzatesta. “It’s something that has changed
me. I’m not the same person I was before.” Grayson’s family lived in Princeton for eight years, but with his long-awaited release from hospital had to relocate to Summerland to be close to a more fully-equipped hospital. Doctors have given Grayson no diagnosis beyond Failure to Thrive, although his medical conditions include heart abnormalities, under developed lungs and brittle, slowly growing bones. He also has developmental delays resulting from months of being medically paralyzed, treated with numerous pain killers and sometimes being strapped to a cot to prevent him from pulling out his tubes. Mezzatesta and her partner Jeff learned they could be facing challenges early in the pregnancy. At 12 weeks a routine blood test prompted doctors to say there was a chance their baby had Down syndrome. “We were like, okay, and trying to prepare ourselves for Down syndrome, did a lot of research.” Soon afterwards they learned geneticists feared he had a fatal chromosomal abnormality. When more testing ruled out both conditions “we just hugged each other and cried for the longest time. We were very, very relieved.” However, Grayson was not growing quickly enough, and when Mezzatesta’s water broke at 22 weeks she was told her baby weighed only 250 grams and if delivered he would not survive. “I told them I didn’t believe that. I couldn’t explain it to them, but I just knew,” Mezzatesta recalls. Five weeks later Grayson was delivered by emergency Cesarean section. “He cried. It sounded like this little baby kitten meow. To hear him cry was just unbelievable.” Mezzatesta describes seeing Grayson

for the first time as “the scariest and most amazing thing. He was so small, small and he was wrapped up in a plastic bag to protect his terribly premature skin and there were all these tubes.” Months of interventions followed, with Mezzatesta feeling increasingly isolated at the coastal facility. “It was hell on all of us. Jeff had to stay here and work and grandma had to work.” The couple is also raising Grayson’s six-year-old brother, Caden. She became very close to other families in the Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit, and comforted many parents who lost children during that time. “I made a lot of really good friends there, friends for life,” she says. “It’s this place of death, despair, anger and confusion all the time and there’s no escaping it but there are so many miracles that come out of that place.” Grayson was misdiagnosed with a fatal skeletal condition and Mezzatesta was counseled to consider removing her son from life support, “letting him go.” Again she and Grayson defied the odds, insisting on more information which included sending tests to Germany. “I just told the doctor I believed he was wrong.” She considers the toll of caring for Grayson both in hospital and at home to be unremarkable. “I do this for my kids. I think any parent would do it. I would do it again. I wouldn’t want to do it again, but I would.” Mezzatesta’s goals now are to get Grayson strong enough to be weaned from both his breathing and feeding tubes. “We have no idea what his future holds for us, and we won’t,” she admits. “But I keep saying, looking at Grayson’s eyes, I know he’s going to make it.”

Start over on zoning
There is no shortage of places to lay blame when it comes to discussing the town of Princeton’s 2013 zoning bylaw and its subsequent effects on property owners. In fact, anyone thinking of pointing fingers might end up needing more than two hands. Eighteen months ago, after holding public meetings and placing the required number of advertisements in local papers, town council passed legislation that – among other things – changed the designation of 27 local properties from industrial to residential. The zoning is grandfathered – effectively meaning that the businesses currently existing on those properties can continue to function as they always have. New business cannot be established on the land however, and if a property is sold without its associated business the zoning automatically reverts to residential. The now-controversial zoning bylaw fell out of the town’s Official Community Plan, adopted in 2008 after its own series of meetings and advertisements. Business properties diminished overnight, in purpose and value. Investment was lost. In some cases people’s financial futures and retirements were put at risk. And the people most impacted didn’t see it coming. For that, they need to accept some responsibility. There were ads in the papers and some people read them. There were meetings held and some people attended them. The town’s position, as expressed by CAO Rick Zerr, is that the municipality followed the letter of the law in the way it notified and consulted with the community on both the OCP and the zoning bylaw. BC legislation requires that individuals be notified of zoning changes affecting their properties only if the zoning applies to fewer than 10 properties. The province needs to take some heat. That’s a bar set so low it is amazing there aren’t communities from Race Rocks to the Yukon tripping over it on a daily basis. The letter of the law is a cheap standard in this case, a little like that of the driver who proclaims loudly he had the right-of-way when he pulled into an intersection and precipitated a multi-vehicle pile up. For some of the property owners The Spotlight has talked to this week that’s a doubly appropriate metaphor. They feel as if they were hit by a truck. When property owners – people with inarguably vested interests in the process – did not come forward the municipality should have gone to them. Property owners should have been notified by letter – even registered mail – of the proposed changes. If they still didn’t get their heads out of their store rooms or their cash boxes or the back porches of their vacation properties councillors should have gone door to door and held peoples’ faces and talked very slowly. This is important to you. You need to listen and engage. We can’t possibly make a good decision without your input. That would have been especially important in this instance, with the zoning bylaw coming so many years after the adoption of the OCP. It’s safe to assume some of the people who were involved in the planning process in 2008 moved, sold their businesses, or died. The local media is not without fault. Sure the papers ran the ads, and possibly even covered a meeting or two. But reporters and editors and publishers in any community, of any size, are watchdogs. There should have been more questions asked, more context provided and more ink dedicated to such an important issue. Either by coincidence or concession the town plans to review its OCP in 2016. That’s a good first step. But there is nothing wrong with council – a new council which cannot be held responsible for any of the missteps of the past – giving more than voice to the idea of working with business. A speedier review, or an OCP amendment and a new – even interim – zoning bylaw would be an excellent way to promote better business-council relations. There are so many people to blame for the past no one even has to say they were wrong. They could just say: this didn’t go so well. Let’s start over. - AD

Love and business blossom in the village of Hedley Art Martins livingsignificantly.ca
I’ve observed that when a relationship really “clicks”, the satisfaction meter often spirals off the charts. It’s that way for Bill and Sandie Clark of Hedley. They’re having a great ride together, but they nearly missed the opportunity. Sandie’s effervescent personality reminds me of a high school cheerleader. She smiles and laughs easily and, in spite of some health issues, the lady has bounce. Before moving to the Similkameen Valley, she was raising four children on her own in Vancouver. In addition to a more than full time job as a paralegal, she taught computer courses and business English at Compu College 2 nights a week. She also attended SFU 2 nights per week. Deeming the city scene unhealthy for her children, she moved to Princeton and continued her paralegal career. When Sandie and her mother walked into Bill’s antique and gift shop in Hedley about 16 years ago, he immediately found her interesting and attractive. She, however, was too distracted to think of romance. Her sister was desperately ill. Also, she was still dealing with the aftermath of an earlier complication in her life. Discerning she wasn’t ready for
an overture by him, Bill wisely invited her mother to coffee at the local Museum, hoping Sandie would also come. Mother accepted and Sandie did come. Six months later they met again and she agreed to a date. When they began talking of a life together, Sandie had one non-negotiable stipulation. “I wouldn’t move to Hedley without my purebred Lhaso Apso dogs. My sister had left them to me when she passed away.” Shortly after, a friend from Hedley called to say “Bill is building a shelter for your dogs.” On December 27, 2002, Pastor Graham Gore married them in the historic diminutive white chapel situated on a bluff just east of Hedley. “We’re really compatible,” Sandie said. Bill nodded agreement and added, “I wish we’d met sooner.” Bill has the calm temperament and steady nerves that would undoubtedly be an asset for defusing bombs or clearing mine fields. Early experiences prepared him to do whatever is necessary to pay the bills and put food on the table. At age 15 he was already working part-time in a mechanical shop and was able to buy a 1949 Pontiac. For two years he participated seriously in demolition derbies and then another seven years in the late model stock car circuit. For the next 20 years he
raced quarter horses. He also drove a taxi for his father and for 25 years built compressors for Ingersoll Rand. Eventually he moved to Princeton, and then Hedley. “I was able to acquire a shop here,” he said. Several years ago Bill and Sandie bought seven acres with a splendid view of the Similkameen River. Their dream is to build a house here. To attain farm status on the acreage, they acquired a number of goats. “When I was five,” Sandie remembers, “we had a goat that came into our house through the back door. It would join us in the living room, lie down on the floor at our feet, and watch TV with us.” There have already been a few adventures with the goats. “We have three kids whose mothers are inexperienced and have rejected their young,” Bill said. “By the time we found them on the farm, they were cold. We took them home and put them in large bowls of warm water. That revived them.” Cassie, favoured by Sandie, lost the ability to stand so Bill made a sling to help her. She considers Sandie her mother. “Will the goats be sold?” I asked. Bill immediately replied, “yes.” Smiling and gently stroking Cassie, Sandie quietly said, “maybe not all of them.”
Sandie Clarke and friend.
They value their 60 goats for the fibre. Sandie also makes Goat’s Milk Soap. Last year she sold 700 bars. In spite of being in the early 70’s, Bill isn’t slacking his pace, and Sandie, younger but contending with rheumatoid arthritis, is a full partner. In the meantime, the store is for sale and when it sells they may find time to retire. Whatever happens, there’s plenty of love for each other and also for the animals.
A mother should be prepared to cry over anything It’s an odd time to muse about first days of school. Can’t help that. Eighteen years ago, give or take a summer, the DeMeer’s first attempt at human reproduction began co-op preschool in the basement of the local United Church. That first Tuesday after Labour Day was much anticipated. We attended parent meetings, looked at glossy brochures, filled out registration forms and wrote checks. Of course we shopped. Every fantasy ever spun by the Sears catalogue about the first day of school was lived out in trips to the mall. The end result was a three-year-old ready for circle time in a new long sleeved flannel dress with a floral print, matching scrunchy, wool tights and black shoes adorned with shiny buckles. She looked like Holly Hobby as she gamboled down the hallway without so much as a backwards glance. No one cried except Mom – at least until it was time for pick up. The child was half-collapsed on a bench and slumped against the far wall, pony tail askew, shoes missing. Her face resembled an overripe pomegranate and the tears mixed
with sweat pouring down her got wise. cheeks. She whimpered. “I feel The first day of school for like I’m choking.” which I was least prepared – Southern Ontario in well, unless you count the heat September, for those of you stroke fiasco – was university. who have never visited at that This was a time also proceeded by parent meetings, time, can be a little like it is in glossy brochures, registrathe Similkameen Valley.

My first genuine laugh during that time came the day she called, sobbing so hard she was unintelligible. “I got a b-b-b-b-b-b….I got a b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b.” Initially panic set in. Got a what? A baseball to the face? A bat in the bathroom? A burglar? Turned out she got a B. She got a B on one of her first university assignments. To a child who went through the school system considered anything less than a 98% to be a marking error on the part of the teacher, it was indeed a blow. University is a time of transition. This Saturday that over-dressed, overheated and overachieving preschooler will walk across the stage at Queen’s University in Kingston and receive her Bachelor of Arts Degree, preparatory for completing her teacher’s certificate next year. Mom’s not able to be there. But you can bet she will be shedding a few tears.

Wicked GamesTown prize
Huycke says Drug and Alcohol problem “terrible” among youth in Princeton
Olympians Denny Morrison and Ashleigh McIvor are coming to town and they are bringing with them their gold medals. Morrison and McIvor will be in Princeton on June 15 as one of the fabulous GamesTown prizes. These top Canadian athletes are icing on the cake for a community already brimming with community pride over their own gold medal win.
“It is much worse that we thought. The first report was only the tip of the iceberg.” Huycke arrived at this conclusion following a survey follow up after the first Task Force survey initiated by the School Board. The “first report”, was followed up by focus groups and individual interviews. The follow up sessions gave more depth than the survey, showing a pervasive problem of drug and alcohol abuse among youth in Princeton.

Resident challenges zoning To the editor I have read the letter from Jim Hodge and N& L, Princeton Tire in your newspaper. Then I read the Financial Plan 2015 to 2019 for the Town of Princeton. I have great concern for Princeton. The town council is making business into residential property, while business property employs a lot of our citizens. Yet in the financial plan they are
saying the operational priorities under community profile is putting $10,000 to attracting new businesses to Princeton for economic health and growth of this town. This doesn’t make sense. They are trying to make old business properties – some that have been here for 100 years –residential. From my understanding there are more than the businesses that I mentioned affected including
ACE Hardware and everything west of it. This will affect a minimum of 15 per cent of employment in Princeton and also the taxes these businesses bring to the town. Is this a retirement community or a working community or a community looking to be a ghost town? Why is our mayor allowing this? Gail Jacobsen
Princeton art teacher fondly remembered To the editor Princeton Teachers were shocked and dismayed upon learning of the pre-mature passing of a respected colleague and friend. Deborah Cappos was a wellrespected long time art teacher at Princeton Secondary School with deep roots in the Princeton Community. Over those years many of Princeton’s younger members had the opportunity to
develop and express their artistic talents with the guidance of Ms. Cappos. Upon her recent retirement Deb became a much needed Teacher Teaching on Call and held a number of part time temporary positions. The most recent and current being at The Bridge. Debbie had hoped and was planning to live out her golden years in Nelson where her two daughters live. Sadly, that will
not happen. Deb was a strong union member, a contributor to our Princeton community and a passionate activist for a fair and just society. We mourn her passing. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to all of Deborah’s family. Robert Tarswell President, Princeton District Teachers’ Union
Town to get summer med student The Princeton Health Care Steering Committee (PHCSC) held its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday, May 19 at Princeton General Hospital. Dr. Ella Monro reported on several initiatives led by the practitioners at Cascade Medical. Starting in August, the physicians will be supervising a third year medical student which is hoped will lead to other students coming to Princeton in the future. Monro also reported that she has been in
contact with Dr. Venkataraman who is spearheading the Residency Medical Program which begins next July. Princeton is requesting to be a host for residency students. The Steering Committee would like to thank Marilyn Harkness, Healthy Communities representative, and Walter Hogg, Princeton Seniors representative, who will be stepping down from the Committee.

It wasn’t just local children who were excited when West Coast Amusements decided to make an unexpected stop in town over the weekend. The carnival company set up at the fairgrounds for three days, and councillor Doug Pateman, along with his mom Paula Pateman, shared in the fun.
Grade Two student Sharon Parent-Berthiaume won the bicycle from the recently held PAC sponsored Bike Rodeo. She is pictured with Dawne Graves, Erin Williams and Cynthia Frost.
Multi-million dollar road improvements underway soon
The Grade 7 class from Vermilion Forks Secondary School enjoyed a three-day field trip last week at Camp Boyle in Summerland. Archery, shelter building and survival games were all part of the trip.
Work will begin shortly on the highway realignment project to improve safety between Sunday Creek and Sunday Summit on Highway 3. The project, located approximately 30 kilometres west of Princeton, involves straightening five kilometres of highway, extending the westbound Sunday Summit passing lane and extending the newly created eastbound Saturday Creek passing lane. A $12.58-million contract has been awarded to Emil Anderson Construction (EAC) Inc. of Kelowna. Construction will begin in June 2015 with completion expected in fall 2016. During construction, drivers are advised to expect delays and are encouragedto check www.DriveBC. ca (http://www.drivebc.ca/) for current conditions.
Town is willing to work with property owners: CAO continued from page one the zoning designations to “clean up” areas of town, address concerns from homeowners about property mix, and to encourage businesses to move to the community’s industrial park. “I think that was a consideration, yes.” Zerr said he has since spoken personally with four property owners who object to the new zoning, and said the town is willing to work with impacted businesses.
“I would suggest that people who have those concerns take them to us. We are willing to listen.” So far, no property owner has made an official request for an amendment to the OCP or the zoning by law, Zerr said. He declined to speculate on how council would deal with such a request. “If you are asking me if I’m willing to work with a business or an applicant on a specific issue, of course.” According to Robinson “I think
it has to go further than that…It’s not good enough to come back and have the conversation. I think the town needs to stand down.” Robinson and her husband first learned their properties had been rezoned last year when she visited the town office to enquire about business licensing for a new venture. “I was told by the clerk that there had been a zoning change and if I had done my due diligence I would have known that,” she recalled. “I was stunned…I was
stunned and I was angry.” Robinson met with both Zerr and Mayor Frank Armitage, and petitioned the BC Ombudsmen who investigated and confirmed the town followed the law placing advertisements to publicize the proposed zoning changes. Under provincial legislation municipal councils are not required to give individual notification of zoning changes if the bylaw impacts more than ten properties. Robinson estimates the busi-
nesses affected by the zoning employ at least 100 people. “It was careless on the part of the town, in my mind,” said Robinson. “In my opinion they have totally missed the boat.” Robinson said property owners are starting to work together to find solutions. “We are starting to get together and to talk, talking to experts in zoning…We are starting to poke and prod and we are not the only ones.”

THANK YOU
I wanted to extend a big thank you for the community of Princeton. You hosted many family and friends as we attended the celebration of life for my mother Annette Dixon May 2 & 3 2015. I would like to send a special thank you to Carolynne, Anita and all the ladies at the Princeton Senior Center. We had booked the Vermilion Fork banquet room and flowed over to the most of the seating in the main room for dinner. Thank you to Sean and Kaili for their flexibility and for taking such good care of us. Hats off to the kitchen and serving staff who were able to have about 60 people arrive at the same time and order off the menu. Another big thank you to the Princeton Golf Course especially to Mike in the pro shop and to the strangers that found and returned my Aunt’s camera. This was a great cap on the weekend. A thank you to Canada’s Best Value Inn & Suites for hosting so many of our family and friends which helped keep many of us together. Lastly a huge thank you to my mom’s wonderful friends especially Pat, Barb, Gail, Pam, Susanne & Gloria and many more. I’m sorry if I missed your name but I know we couldn’t have done it without you. We felt the weekend truly honoured my mom and her love for life her family & friends. Charmaine on behalf of Jim, Wayde, Toby and I.

Fashion show exceeds $400 in ticket sales To the editor Well Princeton you did not let us down, we are very pleased. We are pleased with the wonderful and enthusiastic group of Princeton ladies and one man who attended our Spring Fashion Show and Tea. The crowd started to arrive at 12:40 and there was a steady stream until everyone was settled and enjoying their tea, coffee and homemade baked goodies. We started off with some door prizes and then the show began. There were six models, we had hoped for seven but unfortunately one had to cancel and we were unable to replace her. The ladies did a great job and there was lots of applause. Each lady modeled four outfits throughout the show. All of the clothes modeled and worn by the other Hospital Auxiliary members were from our Thrift shop.
There was a silent auction going on through the day and I’m happy to report that we made $156 from the generous ladies who bid on the nine items. The ticket sales were well over $400 and our expenses were very low. This was due to two things. All the door prizes, silent auction items and the goodies were donated including a beautiful fresh fruit basket from Coopers and the generosity of the Royal Canadian Legion by giving us a very low rent charge. The venue at the Legion worked out very well and we will definitely have future shows in their hall. Our sincere thank you for the use of your Hall and to all the other donors. I personally apologize for the problems with the sound system in the beginning and throughout the show. Totally my fault, next time I will

appoint someone with a little more electronic smarts to handle it. I wish to extend my sincere personal thanks to all my fellow Auxiliary Ladies for their hard work before, during and after the show. It takes a lot of work and a lot of hands to put on an event like this. This brings me to my next point that the Hospital Auxiliary is still in need of more help. Thank you
to the ladies who picked up an application to join the Auxiliary on their way out. Anyone who was not present can drop into the store and pick one up. Or give me a call at 250-295-1577 and I can answer any questions you may have. Thanks again to the wonderful people of Princeton. Doreen Poulsen

What we would give if we could say “Hello Dad” in the same old way. To hear your voice, see your smile To sit with you and chat a while So, for those who have a husband and father, Cherish him with care, For you will never know the heartache Until you see that empty chair You will live in the hearts and minds Of all those you have left behind We love you and miss you Always and forever.
