Princeton is ready for the rodeo! Petition calls for more cops Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

Bull riding has overtaken Bronco riding as the popular contest at most rodeos, according to Princeton Rodeo Club president Ken Compton. While some rodeos now have only bulls the Stan Thompson Memorial Rodeo still manages to attract riders for seven different events.
Spotlight Staff Organizers are hoping a new weekend for the Stan Thompson Memorial Rodeo spurs greater attendance at the annual event. The rodeo, being held this Saturday and Sunday at Sunflower Downs Exhibition Grounds, has been held on Mother’s Day weekend for several years. While the event generally attracts between 800 and 900 people, only about a third of those fans typically turn out on Sunday. “Maybe mothers don’t like rodeos,” laughed Ken Crompton, president of the Princeton Rodeo Club, during an interview at the fairgrounds Saturday. Crompton said the club has also researched weather during May and June weekends for the past 25 years, and decided a June rodeo might be warmer, with less chance of rain. The Stan Thompson Rodeo includes seven rodeo events plus a wild horse race. Crompton said bullriding tends to be the most popular event
for spectators, but added the Princeton event still has its share of bronco riders. A total of $9,000 in prize money is awarded. While the Princeton Rodeo Club has more than 40 members and associates – most of whom help out on rodeo weekend – Crompton said the biggest challenge in staging the competition is getting volunteers to help before the event, cleaning up the grounds, painting shoots and getting bleachers in place. Approximately half a dozen volunteers joined a work party Saturday. While the Stan Thompson Memorial Rodeo has existed in its present format for about 35 years, the town has a rodeo history that dates back to at least the 1920s. At that time rodeos were held near the present airport and it took two days to drive the necessary stock from the Cawston area. The rodoe opens Saturday and Sunday at 1:30 p.m. Ticket prices are as follows: Adults $15 for one day, $25 for the weekend. Seniors $10/$17, Kids (13-18) $10/$17 and children under 12 are free.
A petition demanding more police officers for the Town of Princeton has not ruffled the feathers of local RCMP. “I really don’t have an opinion on it,” Sergeant Barry Kennedy, detachment commander, said in an interview with The Spotlight last week. “It’s nice to see that they would like more officers here and they are petitioning so I guess it’s a way of making a request for more officers.” The Princeton RCMP detachment currently has seven fulltime officers. According to Kennedy, the number of officers assigned to each community is not determined by population, but by the number of criminal files open at any detachment. He said he believes frustration and fear over drug crimes is motivating the petitioners. “I think there are a group of citizens that are fed up with the drugs that are in town and they want something done about it and are wanting more police officers out here to help combat the problem.” JoAnne Tomusiak is one of the organizers of the petition, which can be found at several retail locations in town. She is the grandmother who initiated a well-publicized meeting last month with local politicians and continued page 10

Couple suspects sabotage along KVR
Paula and Richard Pateman spent hours picking up these nails that were scattered along 2 kilometres of trail last week. Spotlight Staff
Paula and Richard Pateman were shocked last week when a stroll along the KVR trail turned into a walk across a bed of nails and screws. “Somebody is a really nasty individual,” said Paula in an interview with The Spotlight. “It looks like somebody just had handfuls and
drove and just threw them.” The couple estimated the nails and screws were scattered along two kilometres of trail near the Siwash Crossing east of Princeton. Paula and Richard picked up as many of the sharp objects as they could find, and could not speculate on whether the sabotage might have been directed at an individual living on the trail, or at a group of trail users. “It was obviously done on purpose,” said Paula. Justin Shuttleworth, parks and facilities coordinator for the RDOS, said he was unaware of problems with sabotage on the KVR. “I know in the lower mainland there were some issues on some mountain bike trails earlier this year, but nothing of this sort on the KVR.” Shuttleworth said he would not necessarily link the incident to the ongoing debate about motorized vehicles being banned on the trail within Princeton town boundaries. “We have a variety of different issues on the trail and sometimes there’s conflict along the way but it would be the first time I would have heard of somebody possibly, intentionally, going and hoping to either harm peoples’ personal vehicles or equipment or people themselves. Shuttleworth said he plans to dispatch a crew this week to the site to “clean up and see if there is any intent.” He encouraged anyone noting problems with the trail to contact him at 250-492-0237.

Town fails to secure deer co-ordinator The Town of Princeton has failed in its bid to secure the services of a deer co-ordinator through WildsafeBC. Instead it has entered into an agreement with WildsafeBC that will provide a total of $4,000 worth of travel expenses for a deer ambassador to make periodic visits to Princeton, lending expertise and advice to the town’s deer committee in 2015. “With all the applications they got they didn’t have enough funding to meet everyone’s needs so they came up with this alternative,” said Rick Zerr, Princeton CAO. Princeton will pay $2,000 towards the cost of the ambassador.
Local cops aid border patrol in drug search Two members of Princeton RCMP spent a day scouting for drug smugglers along the Canada-US border near Manning Park last Thursday. Sergeant Barry Kennedy and Constable Dean Oliver joined border patrol officers in surveillance from helicopter and on the ground with ATVs. While no arrests were made Kennedy said the team “was able to identify some individuals who were out of place, like you would call persons of interests.”

When it comes to food it’s all about location
The rhubarb is tart and the asparagus is tender. It’s the perfect time for a reminder about the benefits of shopping local for food, supporting BC farmers, and reducing food miles to sustain the environment. Hard as it might be to fathom, in a valley where fresh, simple and healthy food choices literally hang from every tree, in North America the average meal travels 2,400 km to get from field to plate and contains ingredients from five countries in addition to our own. Consumers, especially ones who live here, shouldn’t have to be told that a peach purchased from the farm down the road is far more pleasing to the eye and the taste buds than an imported fruit, which is typically picked weeks too early. Fresh local produce is also better for you. Consider that only 48 hours after harvest leafy vegetables lose up to 89% of their Vitamin C. Bagged spinach loses about half its foliate and carotenoids after being stored in a refrigerator for just four days. If a BC farm stand is your destination, you will also find a greater diversity of food products, for example heritage vegetables like yellow carrots and purple potatoes, to liven up you dinner table. Choosing local food contributes to our provincial economy and helps BC’s 20,000 farms stay in business. When we buy a local food product, the producer receives a higher percentage of our food dollar. This money is then circulated many times throughout the community. So close to the Okanagan Valley it’s easy to revel in the joys of fresh fruits and vegetables, but it’s also important to think “outside the basket.” For example where does your meat come from? In 2013 the BC cattle industry raised and marketed more than 246,000 head of cattle and calves and generated farm cash receipts of almost $208 million. BC farmers had just over $4.9 million farm cash receipts for lamb sales in the same year. It’s equally important to consider where and how foods are processed. Making a conscious choice to purchase locally processed foods also keeps dollars within our region and province, supports growth for the BC agri-food industry overall and carries the greatest assurance of food security. Many people interested in reducing food miles grow some of their own food, participate in community gardens and freeze fresh in-season produce for the winter. But even small changes in lifestyle can be beneficial. Talk to your favorite grocer and restaurant about local food and encourage them to offer as much as they are able. Each month, replace an often-bought imported item with a local product, and start thinking of imported foods as treats, not staples. In the valley, it’s going to be a delicious summer. - AD PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY Annual subscription: $35.24 locally, $54.29 elsewhere in Canada.
Letters to the editor
Trail barriers make for treacherous enjoyment To the editor I utilize the Canada Trail on a daily basis. In the tunnel area, where an effort has been made to promote new homes whose backyards are the Canada Trail, odd, ominous things have occurred. Open holes have appeared at entranceways to the trail. That’s an easily-ignored message to a rider of an ATV. Even a four-year-old on a tricycle has the skill to avoid an open trench. What message does that send to the community? Is ‘the tunnel area’ too old a moniker? Does Welcome to Sacred Holes play better? Come to Princeton, where reaching for the light at the end of the tunnel is optional? We have openings? Welcome to Shallow Graves? What if an ATV rider had hit one of those pits, or a citizen? As an observer, obstacles make lousy solutions. I see that recently someone has tried to pull the gatepost right out of the ground. It now sits slightly askew and semi-secure.
I have never had any kind of problem when meeting ATVs on the trail. All were polite, and respectful. Safety is a hard sell when you’re already guilty of laying traps I think more ought to take the time to enjoy what we have. How you choose to get there is up to you. If the town’s brain-trust comes down with banishment for certain motor vehicles through their town limits it is their prerogative as recognized leaders of this flyspeck of real estate included in the B.C. landscape. Either side ought not to display pride nor glee to this point. A turf war over a sand box is still hard to watch. It does speak (at great volume) of tactics and negotiation. This style of transparent leadership remains unseen, as nobody saw gaping, gashes in the ground coming. Nor did they see the new, more treacherous landscape, where every step could be an adventure. Darrel Dobie
Former director made contributions to health To the editor I’m writing on behalf of the Princeton Health Care Steering Committee to thank Brad Hope for his years of active involvement with health care improvement in the community of Princeton and Area H. Making health care a priority is evidenced by his participation and leadership in such organizations as the Business and Industry Stakeholders group, the Air Quality Coalition and the Support Our
Health Care Society. In particular we would like to acknowledge his involvement in the Action Framework Development Committee that led to the formation of the Princeton Health Care Steering Committee on which he served from its inception to the time of his recent retirement from local politics. The Steering Committee recognizes his dedication and commitment to our organization and would like to extend our
appreciation for the part he played “to develop and sustain an effective health care model for the people living in and around Princeton. As Brad and his wife June say good-bye to Princeton and Area H, we wish them all the best in their new adventures. Sincerely Edward Staples Princeton Health Care Steering Committee

Even leaders can benefit from conquering their fears Art Martins livingsignificantly.ca
I had just been hired by the One Way Adventure Foundation to run a program for Young Offenders. At breakfast in the Colonial Lodge the first day, Beth, a Wilderness Skills instructor, came to my table. “I’m taking three girls rappelling this morning,” she said. “It’s their first time. Len wants you to join us.” I didn’t feel at ease around heights and the reality of what I’d signed up for now set in. Ten minutes later I reluctantly joined Beth and three skittish teenage girls, Vicki, Nancy and Sue, all sent here by a judge, and not feeling any joy about it. Clad in faded jeans, well worn runners and tight blouses, they affected indifference to whatever fate awaited them. These were city girls, now far from their usual familiar haunts where they felt at least somewhat in control of their destiny. Their tanned faces testified of much time on the streets and of more bitter experience than most women twice their age. Hiding behind a tough, street smart façade, they had always managed to fend off attempts by those in authority to get to know them. By depriving them of their familiar terrain and exposing them to wilderness experience, the OWAF hoped to induce the masks to slip. Beth, in superb physical condition and
imbued with a sense of purpose, strode decisively across a field of dry wild grass. The girls chatted idly about cute boys and wild parties. Bringing up the rear, for them I didn’t exist. In a week I’d be working with youths much like these young girls. I wondered if I’d be able to develop the necessary rapport. We arrived at a large rock and Beth announced, “last smoke girls.” Each hurriedly produced a plastic bag with thin hand rolled smokes. It was all they could afford on their weekly allowance. “Beth, where is the rappell site?” Sue asked, trying to conceal her anxiety. She inserted a cigarette between her lips, lit it and inhaled deeply, as though this precious moment might be one of her last ever. In spite of being young and petite, she had already proved to be feisty. She was gifted with a face and figure that attracted the attention of men older than herself. “There it is,” Beth said, pointing to the top of a sheer rock face. Silently the three girls gazed upward, as though in awe of a new, unfamiliar deity. With the cigarette at the corner of her mouth, Sue muttered something incomprehensible, except to the two girls. They glanced at Beth and laughed nervously. It was then that this clever, edgy girl understood I was also apprehensive. “You’re scared too, huh?” she
said. They began including me in their distracted chatter. “Time to kill your smokes,” Beth said firmly. We proceeded to the top of the cliff, where Beth placed a helmet over Sue’s black hair and created a rope sling to hold her body. This young, rule-testing girl would be the first to battle fear. With Sue outfitted, Beth said, “step to the edge of the cliff. Art will pay out the rope as you go down. The rope over your shoulder is your brake. Don’t let go of it.” Sue stepped closer to the edge and looked down at the valley below. She froze. Her previous cool, challenging façade had dissipated. “Now I want you to lean back,” Beth said patiently. “Beth,” she protested, “ I don’t think this rope will hold me. I can’t lean back. I’m too scared”. Putting a hand on her shoulder, Beth spoke with a soothing voice. “Sue, lots of girls your age have done this. Once you lean back and step down, it will get real easy. This will make you strong.” Sue leaned back slightly and hesitantly placed a foot over the edge, seeking solid rock. “Lean back,” Beth urged. “The rope will hold you.” With much encouragement, Sue leaned

back and made the descent. When she had climbed back up, she was laughing. It was my turn next, followed by the other two girls. Each of us fully experienced Sue’s reluctance to lean back. It required every ounce of faith we could muster. That day, by accepting the challenge of rappelling, we became stronger. Also, the chasm that had separated us was gone.
The more we complicate time, the harder time gets In a time, when there are more ways to tell time, than at any other time in history, why is it no one knows the time of day? Growing up there was an electrically powered clock on the kitchen wall above the formica table, and a small clock radio on top of the fridge. Mom used to listen to talk radio in the afternoons. No one was habitually late for events and no one seemed to stress over time. That’s partly because Mom insisted on setting the kitchen clocks ten minutes ahead, in order to give herself an “on time” cushion. It still doesn’t make sense. If a person knows a clock is always ten minutes fast it simply means she has to stop and do the math every time she wants to know the correct time. Nonetheless Mom found tremendous comfort in that imaginary ten minutes. The average kitchen today probably has a dozen clocks. There are digital displays on the microwave, the stove and the coffeemaker. The phone on the counter shows the time, and so does the computer on the desk in the corner. Then of course everyone has a phone that tells time. Yet we are often caught having to race out
the door because we are late for even a semi-regular need to work or an appointment. As a join these calls will know that family, we also fight about the – depending on which office time. clock is consulted – they are on The problem is none of the the call bewilderingly early, or clocks in the kitchen – or at the just late enough to have missed office, or in the car – are quite the most important part of the synchronized. meeting.

Make mussels an election issue in the interior
To the editor I am alarmed at the foot dragging over the issue of zebra and quagga mussels entering the Okanagan and other BC interior watersheds. The threat is imminent and the damaging impacts are well known. These mussels multiply rapidly and there is no known way of getting rid of them. They contaminate beaches, sandy bottoms and infrastructure such as
storm drains and intake pipes. They have steadily advanced westward from the Great Lakes, especially in the US. Our federal government has clear authority and responsibility to stop this invasion at US points of entry. Yet they have ignored the problem for years and only became involved when local authorities such as the Okanagan Basin Water Board screamed loudly and persistently.
The current federal plan is to slowly engage and train Canadian Border Service Agency personnel to actually inspect boats as they enter Canada. This might happen by mid –summer but don’t hold your breath. CBSA, like most other federal agencies, is in cut back mode. This invariably means reductions front line staff. Without adequate numbers of inspectors how can they carry out
these necessary inspections? In my professional career I worked to combat invasions of nonindigenous pest. From that I recognize that immediate comprehensive actions are needed when dealing with invasives. Once established, the cost to get rid of them is astronomically higher than preventing the invasion in the first place. Without costly remedial action there
Open your doors for musicians To the editor We are all looking forward to the annual Princeton Traditional Music Festival this summer to be held on August 14th-16th. One of the pleasures of the festival is billeting our visiting musicians who perform for free. Here is what one of our billiters said about the experience: “For the last two years I have had the pleasure of billeting musicians coming to Princeton for the Traditional Music Festival. My first year was marvelous as Kate played the harp and sang Irish songs, mostly enchanting and beautiful in lyric and composition. I was transported back to my childhood in Dublin when my grandmother would sing to me. Kate’s friend and fellow harpist came to my house in the afternoon and they sat outside with their
harps and practiced the concert they were to perform that evening. The harps and voices floated over the garden and soon my neighbours were gathering at the fence to enjoy the concert prelude. During the next day’s performance Kate stood on center stage and thanked me publicly for allowing her to stay in my home. People came up to me and told me I was lucky to be billeting such a talented artist, and that was an understatement. Her music lives in my house now through the DVDs she left. Each year I look forward to the next artist who will be billeted at my home and whose music I will experience. It has all been rewarding.” If you would like to share in this positive experience by billeting a musician please phone Johanna at 250-295-3875.
will be costly damage to the tourism industry, infrastructure and the environment. Prevention by interception requires the full engagement of our federal government. They must take the lead and push our provincial government to participate

Little Britches Rodeo cancelled for one year The fairgrounds will be a little quieter over the Canada Day weekend with the cancelling of the Little Britches Rodeo. Co-ordinator Jen Bernard said the event was cancelled “because of extreme and unforeseen circumstances.” The rodeo has been a popular event for five years, with approximately 80 children taking part. “It’s disappointing,” said Bernard “but we know full well we will come back full force in 2016.”
Town inks Riverside lease
Bob Marsh
The contestants for Princeton Youth Ambassador 2015 were on stage at the Legion Thursday for Talent Night and Apron Auction. From left to right they are Hanna Gould, who demonstrated fly tying, Victoria Gibb, who danced Highland Hip Hop, Katie Bartlett, who sang “Raindrops”, Kelsey Fuller who demonstrated scrapbooking and Thyme Callihoo who brought her cheerleading skills.
Princeton residents who enjoy the use of the Riverside Centre will see no changes to their services as the result of a new lease agreement with the Town of Princeton. Last month the municipality signed a five-year lease with the school district, which owns the property, in the amount of $12,000 a year. Previously the Riverside was leased by the RDOS, which will move forward paying 42.5% of the lease costs. Town of Princeton CAO said costs to the town to manage the building will be “about the same over last year and the year before” when Princeton paid a portion of the RDOS lease costs.

Local riders take top honors The Princeton Riding Club hosted its inaugural Spring Fling horse show on May 23rd, with several local riders receiving honors. The day delivered everything from sunburns, wind, a show of thunder and lightning, but not a single drop of rain. A total of 42 riders – ranging in age from 5 to 65 – came from as far away as Kelowna and Logan Lake. Local top riders were Talis Dixon, English Highpoint Junior; Wyette Antonick, English highpoint Novice; Anita Coppaway,
Western Highpoint Senior; Willow Simmons, Western Highpoint Junior; Jan Lawlor, Reserve Highpoint Senior; Kami French, Reserve Highpoint Junior; Emma Jameson, Combined Versatility Champion Senior. The PRC will be partnering with three other clubs next year to bring two show series to the South Okanagan and Thompson Okanagan. The PRC extends thanks to local businesses, exclusive year round sponsor Ace Hardware, as well as show sponsors Ace Hardware, Everything Pets, Auto
Tac, Horsebarn, Purity Feeds, Naked Hoof Care Solutions, Greenhawk, Nag Bags Mandy Blais, Red Net, Solo Ride, The Vermilion Fork, Little Creek Grill, Coopers Foods. The club also thanks its volunteers : Lothar Gretchmel, Connie Gretchmel, Odelle Simmons, Sheila Matkovich, Sue Gereau, Jen Bernard, Nancy Hall, Anita Coppaway, Tyne Pickering, Robin Irwin, Sandra Dixon, Jesse Maxon, Ken Hlatky, Tony Antonick, Stephanie Antonick, Ainsley Beauchamp and Crystal McEwan.
Police getting more calls about drug activity continued from page one police to raise awareness of the drug use in Princeton. “Due to the very high crime and drug rate in our town, the people of Princeton are requesting for our safety, more RCMP officers be assigned in our community and area,” Tomusiak told the Spotlight. She said the petition will be delivered to MP Alex Atamanenko to be read in the House of Commons. The petition reads “[the] RCMP’s lack of manpower in our area affect their ability to meet the increasing demand of this community due to the rise in the criminal activity involving home and business break ins, home invasions, thefts and drug use, luring and sales. Facing this notable increase we are requesting more RCMP officers be assigned in our community of Princeton BC and districts.
Kennedy acknowledged a recent surge in local break-ins and thefts, but said police are unable to tie those crimes to the drug trade at this time. He also noted the detachment’s success with drug crime in the last 18 months, laying serious charges against two drug dealers and forcing a third drug dealer to leave town. “If you’ve picked off three of the top drug dealers in a town this size, that’s pretty significant,” he said. Kennedy said he believes the recent heightened awareness regarding drug crime in Princeton has started to result in more calls to police about suspicious activity and will lead to further arrests. “We’re getting an increase of intelligence in who the drug dealers are so that part is working I guess. We can say the awareness is starting to bring results.”
Princeton Riding Club member Ainsley Beauchamp was one of 42 riders in the inaugural Spring Fling horse show held recently at the fairgrounds.

MLA promises Hedley seniors help with home care Art Martins livingsignificantly.ca
Twenty local citizens showed up at the Hedley Seniors’ Center for a 7 am meeting with MLA Linda Larson last Thursday. Larson is Chair of the Select Standing Committee on Health and Parliamentary Secretary for Accessibility. She arranged the gathering to talk about the government’s desire to make it possible for people to stay in their homes longer. “We tend to institutionalize people,” she noted. “That is very expensive. We need to shift our focus to enable people to live in their home and in their community as long as possible. Accessibility and home care will be important in making this happen.” “If you are in a wheel chair, how many places in this community can you get into?” she asked. She named the post office as an example. “The province is taking the position there is no need for steps. It’s
include training as a care giver. The program starts in September and will help with transportation and child care. It will be available in Penticton. Monthly assistance cheques will continue during the program. Margaret Skaar, a very active Hedley senior said, “We need care givers who live in
important for a community to identify where there is a need for ramps.” She believes strongly that it’s not right to strip someone of their independence when they lose their driver’s licence or when they fall. “It’s preferable to have someone come into the home to help with things like house cleaning and bathing. In some cases several disabled individuals could live in one house and be given the assistance they require.” Larson’s 94 year old mother has lived with her and her husband for 12 years. She said at one time her mother was given medication that pretty much immobilized her. When this was remedied she returned to her normal alert state. The experience with her mother has given Larson an intimate understanding of the needs of frail elderly people. She said the government will help people on social assistance obtain job training. This will
our community. It would be helpful to have someone who would do yard work at low cost.” Lynn McKay mentioned that there are lonely people in Hedley. They need someone to visit and talk with them. Larson had high praise for the Seniors’ Center and the unifying role it has in the community. “You are more
likely to hear about someone who hasn’t seen a family member in two years, or hasn’t been to the bathroom for three days.” She told the group that if there is an intrac-
