Town fields controversial zoning applications Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

Should they be residential? Should they be commercial? That is the question town council will have to decide as it considers requests for controversial amendments to its zoning bylaw and Official Community Plan for four properties on Burton Avenue. Twenty-six business and home owners crowded into the boardroom at the Princeton library Monday night to share their opinions. “There’s a hard position on one side and a hard position on the other side,” said Rick Zerr, town CAO, who chaired the discussion. There were no members of council present at the meeting. Zerr said they chose not to

attend in order to allow municipal staff to collect information and prepare a report. He characterized the meeting as “a first step…it is not the formal rezoning process.” Business owners talked about the restrictions and financial hardships caused by the town’s 2013 zoning bylaw, which implemented the OCP adopted in 2008 and changed industrial lands to residential. “The people who have commercial properties are paying a tremendous financial burden for the desire of the planners,” said Hoss Budde, who owns commercial property in the area but is not one of the applicants. Budde said some investors lost up 85 per cent of the value of their properties when the

zoning bylaw was passed two years ago. “Many of us have invested a lot of money in our properties too,” said Ken Carlson, who lives on Burton Avenue. “We appreciated the certainty of the OCP. We cannot have someone flipping this. That’s not fair. “The OCP was developed over a long process with a large percentage of people participating.” Monday’s meeting was the first public airing of an issue that has been brewing on the letters to the editor page for months. Twenty-two business properties were rezoned from industrial to residential in November 2013, following the dictates of the five-year-old OCP. The current applicants for

rezoning purchased or modified their business properties between the adoption of the OCP and the passing of the zoning bylaw and were unaware of the pending changes. “If we can’t continue to do our business and have assurance for whatever the course of business will be, why would I invest one more cent in being here?” asked Susan Robinson, co-owner of Ace Hardware and Fletcher Trucking, which has made two of the applications. Robinson pointed out her company supports 50 local charities, is a significant employer “and we try to be good citizens, not just in the town but in our neighborhood…it has to work both ways.” continued page 10

Grandma beats cancer....four times running Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

Some people don’t just beat cancer. Some people beat it with a stick. Meet Barb Gagnon, who has faced and fought the grim diagnosis four times in 63 years, while losing two sisters to the disease. Familiar to many in town as the activities coordinator at Ridgewood Lodge, Gagnon will be one of “Terry’s Team,” a group of local cancer survivors leading the Terry Fox Run in Princeton this Sunday. Gagnon had uterine cancer at age 24, which resulted in a hysterectomy. She had breast cancer twice while in her forties, and beat kidney cancer three years ago. She never thought of giving up. “Oh hell no. It just makes you fight more. I want to see my grandchildren get married and I want to be a great-grandma.” Gagnon considers herself “very lucky” not only to have survived four bouts of cancer, but to have learned from the experiences. “I’m lucky I’ve had it. It makes you look at life different, you know.” She recalls her lowest point as the time following her first battle with breast cancer. “Two months after my treatment finished, when I was 42, my sister passed away from breast cancer. But that also gave me the incentive to carry on in her memory.” Gagnon attributes her remarkable survival rate to

early diagnosis “and a guardian angel.” She urges others to be proactive about their own health. “You’ve got to be responsible for your own body. When things are different you’ve got to go and find out about it.” Cancer survivors are keenly aware the disease may return at any time, she said. “You stub your toe and you think ‘Oh my god.’ Once you’ve been diagnosed it’s always a worry in the back of your mind. You never lose that. That’s the case with any survivor.” Cancer has shaped Gagnon’s life in different ways. She heads up a local breast cancer support group, which will be donating proceeds from a number of fundraisers to the Terry Fox Run this weekend. She has also participated for several years in an annual 60 km walk called “Breast Friends.” The walk has taken place in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Montreal, and London, England, and raised more than $200,000. Princeton’s Terry Fox Run takes place this Sunday, September 20, at Veteran’s Square, with registration beginning at 10 am. The goal for this year’s event is $3,500 – a nod in the direction of the campaign’s 35th anniversary – and organizers hope for 150 participants. For more information or to make a donation contact run co-ordinator Holly Fenrick at 250-2957051.

Grasshoppers offer an unfair disadvantage Tara Bowie Spotlight Staff

Grasshoppers stopped the flower entry numbers from growing, conveners of the Princeton Fall Fair thought. Laila Bird and Lena Mazarella, of the Princeton Garden Club, said the summer of 2015 was the worst for the pesky insects. “It’s been too hot and the grasshoppers had everything that did grow,” Bird said, while sitting at the front of the flower building at Sunflower Downs on the weekend. She thought there hadn’t been a plague of grasshoppers so bad since the 1940s when she heard the town sprayed to get rid of them. “They eat everything, even the petals of the sunflowers,” she said. Mazarella, who has a large garden and grows a variety of flowers, vegetables and fruit trees, said everything she planted struggled this year. “They ate about half of everything I’ve planted,” she said. “They’re a problem.” Only about 10 entries were received this year, down by at least half of what would normally be received. “It’s a shame. I think a lot of people like to garden but what’s the point of entering flowers when you have big holes where the grasshoppers have

eaten them,” Bird said. Other than spraying for them, the pair of avid gardeners didn’t know of any other way of getting rid of grasshoppers. Although there weren’t many flower entries, the first place showing was impressive. The entry, by Loretta Gardner, included a handmade birdhouse with cuttings from a tree to represent grass and marigolds and a small raised bed with little tomatoes, carrots and potatoes. “It’s quite something,” Bird said. A five-pound puffball was brought in by Cheryl Ferguson. Ferguson found the puffball somewhere on her ranch property. The puffball was about 24 inches in diameter. “This is big for a puffball. I’ve never seen one so big,” she said. Other fall fair buildings housed entries in the arts, crafts, photography, woodworking, and junior and produce categories. A variety of other events took place throughout the 50th anniversary of the fair over the weekend. Many activities were set up for children including the Princeton fire department challenge, boxing, jousting and, a crowd favorite, the dunk tank.

Court rejects voice More charges pending against identification Gatzke in Coalmont feud case Spotlight Staff

After several hours of witness testimony Kevin Lynch pleaded guilty to breach of recognizance surrounding an incident at the Princeton Beer and Wine Store earlier this year while charges of uttering threats at employees were dropped. Lynch, previously barred on a Peace Order from going within 20 metres of the store, was seen parked outside the business May 23. Lynch is facing charges of mischief $5,000 or under, possessing a weapon for dangerous purpose and uttering threats from several other previous incidents relating to the store. Terry Melanchuk,

operations supervisor at the store, provided testimony Thursday at the Princeton courthouse. Melanchuk said he saw Lynch parked outside the store while returning items to a female customer who got into the back of his vehicle after shopping at the store. An altercation, which left the female customer in tears, was suspected as a catalyst leading to several threatening phone calls received at the store later in the day. The altercation occurred between the female customer and Melanchuk. Melanchuk described the woman as “heavily intoxicated,” or “stoned” numerous times during his testimony.

Several hours later the store began receiving threatening phone calls. Melanchuk believed were coming from Lynch although he never identified himself. After Melanchuk’s testimony, defense lawyer Stowell presented the judge with case law pertaining to the difficulty surrounding voice identification evidence.

“It has been found to be less trustworthy than eye witness accounts,” Stowell said. Following a recess, crown attorney Crockett dropped the charges of utter threats. Considering his past criminal record, Lynch received a sentence of 40 days for breach of recognizance.

Spotlight Staff

New charges may be filed against Karl Gatzke, a man at the centre of a feud that has plagued the tiny village of Coalmont over the last few years. Gatzke is facing multiple charges including criminal harassment, utter threats, causing disturbance and criminal harassment. The charges stem from incidents with his neighbours and other residents of Coalmont that have occurred over a period of years. Although Gatzke did not attend at Princeton Court last Thursday a representative from his attorney’s office spoke on his behalf via telephone. The appearance was to set aside a date for trial for current charges, which Gatzke’s attorney Paul Evans anticipated would only take a day. But Crown attorney Catherine Crockett revealed more charges might be pending.

“New statements have been obtained from new witnesses,” she said. “There may be additional charges that will most likely change the landscape of the trial.” Crockett did not say what type of charge or charges might be pending. In May Gatzke’s daughter

Marianna Gatzke was found guilty of two counts of mischief stemming from disturbing and escalating events of her terrorizing her neighbours with loud noises during night hours, directing bright lights into their yards. The Gatzke case was adjourned to October 8.

Local woman says family is starving

To the editor Do you know families in the communities are starving? My family happens to be one of the many, I’m sure. Does anyone else find themselves in the same situation? I go to the food bank but a person/family doesn’t get very much. I’ve tried asking for emergency food vouchers but they said I don’t qualify. This is very concerning to me. After my rent I get $114 for two people for food for the month. I’m behind on my phone bill too. I need my phone for medical appointments because I had a kidney transplant two years ago. All this stress is making my physically ill. If anyone out there can help me, God bless you. The government is no help or is unwilling to help. Thank you Shelley Cooper

Abandoning cat a “cruel, thoughtless” act To the editor The man in the truck who just dropped off a big yellow cat on River Road, outside of Tulameen, is cruel, thoughtless and irresponsible. Not only is this inhumane to the cat, but wild birds especially have a difficult enough life. This cat has to kill at least one bird a day to survive. I can’t begin to convey my disgust and anger with such actions as his. There are estimated to be as many as 90 million free roaming cats in the world, with roughly 53 million in the US and 100,000 in the city of Vancouver alone. A troubling finding is the impact on wildlife. A Smithsonian study designed to look at the impact of cat population on the environment quoted between 1.4 and 3.2 billion birds and 6.9 to 20.7 billion mammals killed annually by feral cats. In fact, cats are considered one of the world’s most invasive species; natural predators who kill whether they are hungry or not. Additionally, feral cats are an important source of animal-transmitted, serious diseases such as rabies, toxoplasmosis and plague. Cats become vectors in the spread of disease when they contract a disease while hunting infected small mammals or birds, and then bring the disease in proximity of dwellings. There have been 3,243 known rabies-positive animals in Canada since 2000 (and likely many more unknown cases.). Fifteen hundred plus Canadians are treated annually for potential exposure to rabies. Free roaming cats account for the most cases of human rabies exposure among domestic animals. Another significant disease threat is toxoplasmosis, a parasite frequently found in water or soil contaminated by cat feces. Consequences of the parasite can be severe to fatal in immunosuppressed people (HIV, cancer) and can cause fetal deformity or abortion in pregnant women. Man has created this problem, and only people with responsible behavior can rectify it. Irene Logan

Hockey parents aren’t the only nuts in the bowl A recently published study by a Harvard sociologist finds that while all parents may be slightly crazy – and indeed, crazy parent is arguably a redundant tag – hockey parents are the nuttiest. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence to support such a claim. That said, having sat on the sidelines of innumerable youth competitions – everything from hockey to track and field and even indoor rowing– I don’t believe any one sport is worse than another when it comes to Moms and Dads losing what little is left of their minds. Sure, anyone who has spent much time in arenas can tell hockey horror stories. One year the DeMeer boys played on a team with a troubled youngster whose father recorded every game, and then reviewed the video for his son in the lobby. You should have won that foot race. You were out of position. You should have passed here. You should have shot there. I wanted to videotape the father, showing the video to his son, and then play it for him in front of the rest of the parents. You should have pointed out he made a great play here. You should not have used that tone of voice there. You should not be allowed to own a video camera, or a pet, or a houseplant. You should have a vasectomy. Violence in minor hockey is not limited to the ice and the players. Dads attack coaches at the concession stand over ice time. Moms trip players from opposing teams as they

experiencing only at the rink. And their behaviour is no better The most surprising stress I ever experienced at a competitive youth event was during a chess tournament. Sure, everyone has heard about those out-of-control chess parents. The youngest of the DeMeer offspring could routinely beat me at chess when he was in Grade One. As the local school district offered a chess club he got involved in tournament play. At a youth chess tournament parents are allowed to stand behind their children, as close as they want, although they cannot speak and they cannot touch the players. During one match I observed a small man hovering over his son’s shoulder, and he simply vibrated. He made subtle jerky motions, like a nervous passenger. The sweat poured off father and son and the attempt at telepathy was so apparent it was practically audible. The tension at that table was a real, living, breathing thing. Dad scribbled notes. Inside he was screaming and banging on the glass. Twice in elementary school the DeMeer whiz kid qualified to play at the provincial championships. Twice he declined. He said playing chess like that was “no fun.” Praise be. Maybe competition really does teach kids something other than that their parents are crazy.

Policing a childhood dream for Princeton’s top cop Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca

Sitting at our kitchen table last week, I asked Sergeant Barry Kennedy if he has ever needed to draw his gun in a dangerous situation. “Yes,” he said, “I had been a Mountie only six months the first time. I was trying to handcuff a guy. He pulled a knife and slashed at me. Fortunately the knife caught only my clothes. He settled down when I pulled the gun.” He already wanted to be a police officer at age 10. Unlike most of us, he never let go of his boyhood dream. “My parents were very clear about right and wrong,” he said. “That influenced me.” “I was only 140 pounds when I entered the RCMP training depot in Regina,” he remembers. “Most recruits come out lighter than when they went in. I weighed 160.” He now sports the sturdy frame of a stevedore at the Vancouver docks and seems at ease in his role of Detachment Commander in Princeton. He welcomes change and has enjoyed a varied career in policing. In North Vancouver he was police liaison officer for eight schools. “At first the students didn’t want to talk to me,” he said smiling. “By the end of the year they were sav-

ing a seat for me in the cafeteria at lunch time. In the malls they’d come up to me to chat.” Sergeant Kennedy enjoys horses and for eight successive years he applied for a position in the RCMP Musical Ride. Only 12 officers are chosen each year and there are usually about 400 applications. Finally he was selected and he loved it. “We were away a lot from May to November. I participated in events in Switzerland, England, the U.S. and Canada. It was an opportunity to meet people from a variety of cultures and ethnic backgrounds. We found a common ground with them.” I asked what role cannabis and other drugs play in policing. “A lot of crime is associated with marijuana,” he replied. “Bullying and theft are a couple of examples. People

not involved don’t face the same issues.” In regard to the drug house in Hedley which people are unhappy about he said, “to get a search warrant, we need to show the court there is repeated use of a drug. High traffic flow would be of interest to us.” He welcomes information supplied by the community. The Mounties have a Regional Unit that comes out on request, when it has time, to assist with difficult situations. Although he says, “I’ve always wanted to get the bad guys,” there is a decided community emphasis in his thinking and actions. He has a longstanding interest in hockey and has played goalie at the major junior level. He refs Princeton Posse games and instructs in the rules. “I encourage officers

to participate in the life of local communities,” he said. He cited the example of Corporal Chad Parsons being in the colour guard at a 100 year anniversary event in Hedley recently. “Community involvement and service is the legacy I want us to leave,” he said. When I asked what has surprised him in policing, he answered, “I’m surprised at the way the media blame the RCMP for everything.” On a more positive note he said, “there is a lot of good that happens. Not everyone agrees with everything we do, but I get meaning from doing what is right for most people.” The message he likes to give is “this is your community. It will become whatever you allow. Parties on your street every night, fights, drugs, etc. If you see

something that seems suspicious or wrong, call us.” The Princeton Detachment has only seven officers to police an enormous geographic area that ranges from Nickel Plate Rd. east of Hedley to Manning Park. For a Mountie on patrol in an isolated area

it can be especially dangerous. On one such occasion in 2013, Sergeant Kennedy pulled over a vehicle and the driver exited brandishing a rifle. “If he had pointed it at me, I’d have had to shoot,” he said. For his wife and four children such incidents must be

unnerving. The next time we are annoyed at seeing those flashing lights appear unexpectedly behind us, we could remind ourselves that the Mountie in that cruiser has probably faced life threatening situations while protecting us.

Outshot but not outdone, Posse splits opening games

Moments after the team gathered at the blue line for the first time, Mayor Frank Armitage dropped the puck at the Posse season opener Friday night. Andrea DeMeer with the level of offensive play. Spotlight Staff “Our forwards did a wonderful job in the offen-

The Princeton Posse’s home opener weekend didn’t quite meet the grade of a Cinderella tale. However with split decisions against two of the most competitive clubs in the division – including a win over last season’s division champs the Osoyoos Coyotes – there were a lot of sweet moments for the fresh-faced home squad. “I think we opened a lot of people’s eyes that we are not going to be a pushover and we are going to be a team that is tough to play,” said coach Geoff Goodman. “I think we showed them that we aren’t just going to roll over and let them take the game from us.” The Posse lost 4-2 to Summerland Steam Friday night, but recovered on Saturday with a 3-2 victory over the Coyotes in a more evenly-paced contest. “We had a rough start on Friday but for the most part there were a lot of good things that came out of Friday’s game that helped us on Saturday,” said Goodman. Friday’s Star of the Game was veteran goaltender Stephen Heslop, who made 49 saves compared to the 15 saves demanded in between the Summerland posts. Rookie netminder Zakery Babin was also key in the win over Osoyoos, turning away 45 of 47 shots. “They gave us an opportunity to find our feet when we were losing some of that work ethic and some of the structure in the game. Our goaltenders really gave us an opportunity to stay in the game so our guys could figure out what we needed to do to win,” said Goodman. Over the course of the weekend the Posse was outshot 100-36. Despite the stats Goodman said he’s satisfied

sive zone, cycling the puck and working very hard.” The training focus going forward will be at the other end of the ice. “Defense is our biggest area for improvement,” said Goodman. “We have good players but it’s getting them to understand junior hockey, the pace of the game and some of the things it takes to compete for 60 minutes.” Goodman said youth and inexperience were apparent at times during the season openers. “It’s a learning process and a maturing process. We have a young team. We have a tonne of guys who are just turning 18 – it’s the bulk of our team – so there is some hockey maturing that needs to happen.” Princeton looked in good shape Friday in the first period, with Tanner Braid opening the scorning on an unassisted goal, followed by a goal from Drew Carter, on assists from Thomas Cankovic and Chad Kimmie. Summerland stormed back with four unanswered markers, and the third period was scoreless. Against Osoyoos Princeton was again on the board in the opening frame, with an unassisted effort from Brandon Breithaupt, and a goal by Joshua Dickson, assisted by Cody Lassiter and Kimmie. Osoyoos registered a shorthanded goal in the second period and tied the game mid-way through the third on a power play. A late-game tripping penalty against the Coyotes gave Princeton an extra attacker. Keith Comte cinched the win for the Posse, on a pass from Carter and Cankovic, with 37 seconds left on the clock. Comte was Player of the Game.

Sick tot gets help from Cops for Kids something worth staying for, worth fighting for. I could never say or do anything that would be adequate enough to thank the Cops for Kids ever, it really means the world to me.” Over the years Cops for Kids has helped many children in medical or traumatic crisis and continues to so

throughout the region. Grayson, who is now 18 months old and still requires medical equipment to help breath, was born at 27 weeks but due to another problem was less developed than he should have been for his age. If possible the family will be greeting the Cops for Kids cyclists

when they come to the Summerland RCMP detachment at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 11 as part of their annual 10-day fundraising ride throughout southeastern BC. They will also be stopping at the Wine Country Info Centre in Penticton at 3:30 p.m. on the same day.

Annual Fall Social “A Plethora of Pasta” Mark Brett/Black Press

Sgt. Stephane Lacroix of the Summerland RCMP paid a visit recently to Miranda Mezzatesta and her 18-month-old son Grayson Dowling. The Cops for Kids program helped Miranda and her family after Grayson was born prematurely. The annual Cops for Kids fundraising ride began Sept. 11. Mark Brett Black Press

Little Grayson Dowling came into the world weighing just 19 ounces and a poor prognosis for survival. However his mother Miranda Mezzatesta was not about to give up on her little boy knowing in her heart if she

could just be with him during this critical time in his life it could make all the difference. However without the financial resources the family, living in Princeton at the time, could not afford for her to be in Vancouver for an extended stay. It was then the Cops

for Kids program intervened and paid her accommodation costs at Ronald McDonald House while Grayson was in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit. “They (Cops for Kids) will never know how much that means

to my family and to me. I fully believe that me being able to stay at Grayson’s side was one of the main reasons he is here today,” said Mezzatesta. “They helped me save my child’s life. “I like to think that me being there let him know that there was

CAO defends planning process continued from page one properties for another business purpose, or attempt significant renovations, the properties become residential. The applications for amendments ask for the OCP to be changed to designate the properties Highway Commercial, and for the zoning bylaw to allow for Commercial Service use. Zerr told the crowd the applications represent the least intrusive option for change in the mixed business, residential area. The CAO fielded criticisms from business owners who felt the original OCP and zoning processes were mishandled or poorly communicating, and defended the town’s actions. “It was handled according to the legislation.” He said the purpose of the meeting was to bring the opposing factions together. “You work with people and you try to develop solutions.” The discussion was frequently sidetracked by complaints from Burton Avenue residents about dust and noise from trucks using a nearby municipally controlled parking lot. While noting those issues were unrelated to the zoning applications, Zerr assured those residents that the town was “taking control of the issue…It’s not going to be a problem anymore.” The solution, he said, lies in part with a pending move by Fletcher Trucking to the town’s industrial park and stricter enforcement of how the lot is used by passing trucks and tourists. The town is also considering options such as treating the parking lot surface to control dust, he said. Zerr said council will receive a report on the zoning applications that should be discussed at a meeting in October. Before any changes to the OCP or bylaw can be made the town must hold an official public meeting, he said.
