Price of food to drop this January
The Overwaitea Food Group promises when Coopers becomes a Save On Foods store in January, food prices will drop. Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff
Well here’s something you don’t hear every day. The cost of feeding your family is going to drop in January 2016 – at least in Princeton. Coopers, the town’s only grocery store, will operate under the banner of Save On Foods. In addition to a new name it means a different – and more competitive – pricing program. “You just have to take the Coopers flyer and compare it to the Save On Foods flyer and you can see the difference,” said Tony Piwek, general manager of Overwaitea’s BC operations. Piwek acknowledged Coopers – a name purchased by the Overwaitea Food Group in 1999 – has a reputation with consumers for being a pricey place to shop. “The customers have been asking for that [a change],” he said. “We’re hearing it in all the communities where Coopers is right now.”

There are currently 12 Coopers stores in British Columbia. Several stores in the Lower Mainland converted to the Save On banner earlier this year. Stores in Kelowna and Kamloops will also make the transition in January. While unable to quantify how much food prices will drop locally, Piwek said shoppers will benefit from Save On Foods’ Talk about Savings program, which promises 2,000 advertised specials every week, 5,000 in-store specials, and 1,000 More Rewards promotions. Additionally the store will adopt all other Save On programs including Darryl’s Deals, Talk about Local and Talk about Fresh Solutions. There will be no changes for the store’s employees, he said. “The name’s going to change on the outside of the building…what’s really important is that our team in the store isn’t going to change,” he said. “I think that’s the most important piece I can stress is that they are going to be there as usual
looking after the customers and going the extra mile.” According to Piwek Save On stores in Penticton already have an established customer base from Princeton, and giving those people a chance to shop in their hometown has the potential to boost local shopping for other businesses. Piwek said the number of Save On customers from Princeton “changes with the weather, but we do know it happens….We’re hoping that this will help them stay in Princeton to shop.” He noted that Save On Foods is Overwaitea’s primary food banner, and this year was named the province’s most loved brand by BC Business Magazine. The switch from Coopers to Save On will take place overnight in only 14 hours. “We have a team that goes in to help,” said Piwek. “We close the store at 6 p.m. on Thursday and change every label…and we open again Friday at 8 a.m.

The show must go on Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff
The show must go on, even when one of your leading actors literally breaks a leg. Or in this case, a foot. After months of preparation for a week of performances Crimson Tine Players was facing disaster when show star Kaylie Gibb broke her foot during a work out last Monday night. Gibb excelled in the role of the evil Vizier in the British Pantomime, 1001 Arabian Nights and a Matinee. “We quickly called a meeting Tuesday, just before dress rehearsal,” said producer Rhianfa Riel. “Kaylie had found out by then she was scheduled for surgery for Saturday, which of course was the same time as our final two performances.” Some quick work from the props department allowed Kaylie to play her part Thursday and Friday evening from the relative comfort of a wheelchair functioning “as a sort of pretend sedan chair or moveable throne.” After that it was family to the rescue as Kaylie’s brother Bobby Gibb got bumped up from his role as the front end of the production’s camel, to play the Vizier while cadging his lines from a script covered mostly by a large peacock feather. Sister Victoria Gibb was pulled from her duties at the concession stand to take over the part of the

Spotlight helps police identify meat thief A photo that appeared in The Princeton Spotlight two weeks ago netted police the name of a man wanted in connection with the theft of numerous steaks from Coopers grocery store. “Through information received as a result of the photo in the paper we were able to identify the suspect,” said Sergeant Barry Kennedy. Police released a photo from a security camera, asking for the public’s help in naming the suspect. The investigation is continuing and charges against a Princeton man are pending.

convincingly.” Riel credited first time director Heather Anderson and the entire cast and crew for saving the show. “This is just another example of how incredible it is to work in theatre, to see people step up in a crisis to find creative and winning solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems.”
A man who told police he stepped in to “defend a woman’s honor” ended up on the floor of the Princeton Legion early Saturday morning. Police were called to the Legion at 1:30 a.m. after reports of a fight. “They arrived to find a male lying on the floor with injuries to his face,” said Sergeant Barry Kennedy. The victim said he was punched and kicked after he objected to a fellow patron “talking aggressively” to a woman. A 52-year-old Princeton man was arrested following the incident. The victim was taken to Princeton General Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Neither man was identified by police. “We are still investigating and talking to witnesses,” he said.
Man arrested on warrants
RCMP arrested a Princeton man Monday morning on outstanding warrants after they were called to a home because of reports of a woman screaming. Rodney Saddleman, 30, of Princeton, was taken into custody and was to appear later that day in Penticton court.

Don’t be afraid to say Happy Holidays At the risk of common sense being mistaken for snarly-pants grinchiness… Christmas would be a lot merrier if it weren’t for many of the people darned and determined to celebrate it. Every year it’s the same cheerless business. One needs to look no farther than Facebook for evidence, like picking up reindeer droppings in the backyard to prove Santa has stopped. Thousands of people (really, these are your friends?) are posting daily about how they are not afraid to say “Merry Christmas.” For sure, that’s courage. Somebody break out the medals of honor. Keep the Christ in Christmas, demand others. For heaven’s sake Starbucks came out with pretty but plain red cups for the holidays and Donald Trump promised to evict the coffee chain from his tower. “If I become president, we’re all going to be saying Merry Christmas again, that I can tell you. That I can tell you,” he said. Perhaps the GOP candidate has more in common with Vladimir Putin than is suggested at first blush. The defense of Christmas is nonsense and unfortunately speaks to that dark side of humanity (to say nothing of religiosity) that enjoys being persecuted for its beliefs. Hey crazy people – getting a card in the mail that says “Season’s Greetings” is hardly the same thing as being dragged away to meet the lions. There is nothing wrong with decorating a Holiday Tree, in as much decorated trees – like so many other so called Christmas traditions – are stolen from other religions and pagan tradition. Relax. Christmas is not under attack by hordes of politically correct and veiled warriors waving Menorahs. Staunch Christmas defenders are highly organized. They have websites. The US Liberty Counsel has once again released its “Naughty List” lobbying against retailers who are “shunning” Christmas. This year it includes Radio Shack, Gap, and American Eagle. Rest assured the aforementioned companies are no different from any other retail chains. When it comes to the holidays they just want to sell stuff and none of them care who anyone else prays to. It’s not nice to mess with other people’s faith stories and religious symbols. Suffice to point out that there is very little left of the original Christmas in any of the traditional ways the world marks December 25. A holiday message to staunch Christmas supporters everywhere: Get over yourselves. Stop looking for injury where others only intend goodwill and inclusion. In the coming days enjoy spending time with your family and friends, treasure moments of quiet reflection as you are able, and above all, be kind and generous to others. That has the ring of a spiritual Christmas. - AD
Business not as usual on B.C. farmland
Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has released the latest update to the B.C. Liberal government’s “strategic growth plan” for farm and food products. After reporting a record $12.3 billion in total agriculture and agri-food sales in B.C. for 2014, the latest plan sets a new goal of increasing it to $15 billion by 2020. It’s a mostly a status quo plan, continuing current marketing efforts and encouraging higher-value production of a wider range of products. The ministry intends to hire its first expert in food and beverage production. It’s a reflection of the fact that fully 70 per cent of that $12.3 billion comes from food and beverage processing. This continues the government’s push to improve economic viability of farms by allowing more food product manufacturing and sales on Agricultural Land Reserve property. Letnick says another key strategy is to improve access to irrigation. B.C. has 20,000 farm operations, a number that’s holding steady even as the average age of farmers increases. Opposition MLAs formed

quietly signed a deal with the ALC in July to allow development of farmland near the Aldergrove border crossing and Langley airport. The agreement says there is a need for a “defensible and durable urban/ALR edge.” If you think everyone loves farming, you’ve likely never lived on this “urban/ALR edge.” The latest example is on Vancouver Island, where urban neighbours are protesting an established farmer’s decision to clear a forested property for hay growing. The farmer has been forced to erect a chain-link fence to keep out trespassers who have decided the property is a park that they can use when they like. The mayors of Saanich and View Royal seem more concerned with appeasing urban complainers than protecting the right to farm. They are being pressed to buy up idle ALR land to soothe urban voters repelled by logging and farming. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Ranchers trade coroporate stress for cows Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca
As a corporate executive with Super Save Group, local rancher Jay St.Germain was drawing a salary that would make most of us giddy with envy. The job didn’t allow for the lifestyle he wanted though. “When I increased my division’s profits,” he said, “it just meant the expectation level went up.” One day he confided to his wife Kimberly, “by the time I’m 50, I want to be out of the city.” Jay grew up around tractors, equipment and agriculture. Early on, his parents owned a chicken farm, and had horses for hunting. One year he rode bulls. He also joined a saddle club. Early experiences developed in him a love of the outdoors. Jay and Kimberly met at a night club on the Lower Mainland. His CFL linebacker frame (minus the extra weight) got him a job there as doorman/bouncer. Kimberly, blond, pretty and comfortable talking with almost anyone, was a bartender. She jokingly said, “Jay threw out anyone who was a possible rival suitor.” Kimberly went on to a 25 year career in telecommunications, beginning with Bell Canada and ending at the help desk at Telus. Prior to working for Super Save, Jay became a realtor and also owned a cleaning business that employed 25 people. He had the drive, skill and personality to achieve impressive success in business, but in his heart he always knew he wanted to be in ranching. His parents bought a ranch in the Pemberton area and Jay spent as much time there as possible. He and Kimberly were married in September, 1992. They bought five acres in Milner and had horses. “In time, we had a good home, a Mercedes in the garage and the income to go out for nice dinners and various events,” Jay said. “I realized though I’d never find fulfillment in the corporate world.” His parents sold the Pemberton ranch. Then, a few years ago his dad began talking of buying another one. He would only do it though if Jay and Kimberly partnered with him. When they decided to take the plunge
Jay and Kimberly St.Germain are living their dream.
and began looking for a ranch, it meant giving up the security of a corporate income and pension. Jay’s fellow executives were dumbfounded. They attempted to convince him this was a foolhardy move. Just a little more than a year after purchasing the Stirling Creek Ranch west of Hedley, he says, “life experiences are a result of the choices we make. At times we have to risk to get what we want. I’m a risk taker.” The ranch has changed their lives. “Before we made this move I’d often be in a hotel room in Toronto or some other city,” he said. “I was away a lot. Now I work 7 days a week, but I love what I do, and I see Kimberly every day.” Instead of attending executive meetings, his work is mostly outdoors, where he wants to be. With the help of Doug, their one cowboy, his time is given to haying, managing the range so the cattle don’t overgraze, repairing equipment, cutting in trails, riding, fixing fences and much more. Coy, their Australian Working Kelpie, assists with cattle control. The St.Germains feel fortunate in having inherited Robin from the previous ownership. “Robin manages the place,” Jay said. “He knows where the wells are. He knows a lot about breeding. It’s all so technical now. He has made the learning curve less steep.” Kimberly doesn’t have Jay’s agricultural background but she pitches in whenever she can and is eager to learn. “I began taking riding lessons,” she said, “but then I had back issues and also broke an arm. I do want to be a cowgirl so I can help with the roundup. It will enable me to embrace the life style more fully. In spring I’ll get back to the lessons.” The St. Germains own about 450 acres and lease thousands more, some from the local band and individuals. They also have a government grazing lease. Their goal now is to improve the herd and make the ranch profitable. “Costs and profits don’t match up well,” Jay said. Even so, after a delicious lunch in the dining area of their spacious home and listening to them, Linda and I sensed their contentment. “We’re living our dream,” Jay said. He is nearing 50 and out of the city.
Age and attitude can determine listening skills Worriers don’t have an easy life. Worriers with children are particularly afflicted. Last week a good friend took her young grandson to a pediatrician, with the concern that the boy trips over things. He falls over his own feet, has a hard time with stairs both up and down, and generally lacks coordination. What a relief it was for her to learn there is nothing medically wrong with the child. He’s just a klutz. A coworker in Ontario had a similar experience years ago when her two sons were small. She was convinced they both had hearing problems and insisted they be tested extensively. As it turned out her kids could hear fine. They were just ignoring her.

Residents urged to donate this holiday season By Jackie Tegart MLA, Fraser-Nicola
The first snowfall of the season has arrived and with it our thoughts turn to the holidays and spending time with family and friends. The holidays are also a time when we open our hearts to those less fortunate in our communities. Princeton’s annual Christmas hamper campaign is well underway with applications being accepted at the Crisis Centre Thrift Shop, which last year delivered 110 food hampers to local families. Hampers contain enough food for a Christmas dinner, plus a little extra if enough donations are received. Donations of toys are also appreciated, and organizers hope you’ll keep older children and teenagers in mind - they usually like shampoo, body washes and perfumes. Donations of scarves, gloves and hats are also required for kids of all ages. Princeton’s food bank always appreciates donations of food and cash – and cash donations qualify for an income tax receipt. The food bank operates out of the basement of the Baptist church on the Old Hedley Road (across from the arena) and serves meals Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. While you’re thinking of others this season, remember to keep tabs on your own well-being. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed at this time of year so it’s important to make your health a priority. There are a variety of services and supports available that are easy to access for those that need them, and the people on the other end of the phone are always ready to listen and help. Here to Help (heretohelp.bc.ca) is a provincial mental health and substance-use website with information on how to manage mental illness and maintain good mental health, including self-management resources and screening self-tests. You can also consult a network of direct and contracted services, including counseling for individuals suffering from substance-use problems. Christmas is a time for family, friends and giv-
ing a helping hand to those in need. In my case, I’m looking forward to welcoming my kids and their families this Christmas for a wonderful time of joyous chaos. I hope you take advantage of all the great events and services our community has to offer so your holiday season is memorable for all the right reasons. From my family to yours, have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

On Sunday dozens of vendors filled the school gymnasium displaying a dizzying array of local handicrafts. Hundreds of customers poured through the doors to browse through knitted scarves, pottery, and handmade jewelry. One of the busiest booths was the much-anticipated candy stall, run each year by Mac MacDonald. MacDonald takes a week off her fulltime job at Coopers each year to create her chocolate gifts and stocking stuffers including everything from Santa Claus suckers to flavored popcorn, almond bark and chocolate fashioned from unique molds. A chocolate maker for 35 years, MacDonald dusted off some molds she originally purchased three decades ago when Star Wars was first a popular film, and brought those characters to life again for the upcoming launch of the new Star Wars movie. “I started making chocolates when we lived in Delta but I never thought I would make them to sell.” Also an artisan, she was selling handmade antique Santa dolls when she added some chocolate Santas to the mix “and they just flew off the table,” she recalled. Anyone visiting MacDonald’s table needed only to turn their sweet tooth around to also enjoy the delights created by Jen Bernard, commonly known as Princeton’s “Fudge Lady.” Each year Bernard makes fudge from Halloween until December 1st. This year she produced 220 pounds of confection, and between special orders and the craft fair she is already running low on several popular flavors. After Eight Chocolate Mint is the best seller this year, she said, while Dark Irish Cream and Kahlua are close runners up. “People really like to add them in their

coffee and their hot chocolate,” she said. Murray Langford of Princeton displayed one of the most unique crafts at the fair; a selection of jewelery, buttons, pipes, knives and gun racks created from deer and elk horns. Langford took up his hobby 20 years ago “just for something to do.” While he used to hunt – and stopped after a friend was shot in a hunting accident – others in the area donate the antlers for his craft. A colorful addition to the craft fair was a quilting and sewing table staffed by Maureen
Turner and Rosemary Woodruff, both members of the local Bunchgrass Quilters. While selling everything from delicate Christmas table runners, pillow cases, cocktail napkins and pot holders, they were also displaying brilliant baby quilts made by the Bunchgrass group at their twice-weekly
meetings throughout the year. The group gifts a handmade quilt to each baby born in Princeton and this year has already distributed 30 quilts. “There were a lot of babies born this year,” laughed Woodruff.

Princeton head librarian Sharon Dennis was trained on the Automated External Defibrillator last week. Spotlight Staff
At the Princeton library you can borrow a book or a movie, read a magazine, work on a puzzle in front of a roaring fire, surf the internet – and also get your heart restarted. The library recently received an Automated External Defibrillator machine made available by the Heart and Stroke Foundation, and last week head librarian Sharon Dennis received training on the device from local paramedics. “Hopefully we never have to use it,” she said, “but it’s nice to know it’s here.” While Dennis will be the only staff member trained on the unit, she said it’s designed so that anyone can follow simple instructions and potentially save someone’s life. “Basically you open it up and it tells you what to
do. But the first thing you do is call 911.” There have been medical emergencies at the library before, said Dennis, but nothing involving cardiac arrest. “We do get a lot of older people here,” she added. The AED is mobile, so it could also be carried out of the library and used on the street.

Local paramedics get ready for expanded role Princeton is one of two communities selected by Interior Health and BC Emergency Health Services as a prototype for the new Community Paramedicine Initiative, a program intended to help provide patients with better access to health care in rural and remote communities by expanding the role of qualified paramedics. Karen Reader has been a paramedic with BCEHS since 2002, and working out of the Princeton station for the past six months. “We are still in the very early exploratory stage,” explained Reader. “Right now we’re focusing on community outreach and awareness, and will be moving on to things like health promotion and wellness clinics before we’re ready to start providing services to patients in their homes.” BCEHS made a presentation on community paramedicine to the Princeton Health Care Steering Committee in early November. Reader has since joined the committee, as well as the Rural Health Care Sustainability Project. “Getting to know the health professionals working in the area, as well as the municipal leaders, First Nations representatives, and all the others involved in improving health care delivery in the community, is critical to our success,” said Reader. “We see community paramedics working as part of the community care team and certainly not in isolation.” Reader is also attending discharge rounds at Princeton General Hospital, where doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and others discuss what a patient has been through while in hospital and what kind of follow-up care they will need when they go home – from checking vitals to ensuring they have home care and food in the fridge. “Patients referred to community paramedicine are most likely to be older patients living with chronic complex diseases, and often after discharge from the hospital. So these rounds are an important way of understanding the services currently available, and where community paramedics can step in and put our skills to work.” Helping other health professionals understand what those skills are is another important part of the first phase of introducing community paramedicine. “I’m quickly realizing that most people don’t know what our scope of practice entails, other than arriving on the scene of an emergency and taking the patient to the hospital. But once they recognize that all community paramedics will be primary care paramedics with additional endorsements and education, they immediately begin thinking of things we can do to help fill the gaps.” John Akerley, the Area H Public Representative and co-chair of the Princeton Health Care Steering Committee, says he’s optimistic about what community paramedicine will mean to area residents in the future. He points to the improvements made to health care to date, including efforts to recruit physicians, the success of the visiting specialists program that brings a number of specialists to the community on a regular basis, and the new Telehealth program that uses videoconferencing and supporting technologies to put patients in touch with health professionals from Kelowna, Kamloops, Penticton and the Lower Mainland. “Community paramedicine addresses a very important concern in our community, and that’s the number of elderly and shut-ins who need care beyond Meals on Wheels,” said Akerley. “Visits happen, but not usually by medical professionals. Now we’ll have trained paramedics who can visit these people on a scheduled basis to provide basic services, make sure they’re able to take their medications as directed, or help identify fall hazards in their homes. The paramedics will be seeing patients referred by a physician or nurse, and will be reporting back to these health professionals on a regular basis. “It’s still very early days, but we certainly see community paramedicine contributing to our goal of ensuring stable, sustainable, and accessible health care in the area,” Akerley said. The Community Paramedicine Initiative was launched in April of this year, and now includes prototype communities in each of Northern, Interior and Island Health. All of the prototype communities
were identified by BCEHS and the relevant Health Authority based on a combination of community need and the availability of resources to ensure a successful start. During this first stage of implementation, paramedics familiar with the communities are working with local health care providers to help define the scope of services required and participate in the development of a service plan. The initiative will be rolled out to additional communities throughout British Columbia starting in early 2016.
“Community paramedicine is being implemented in other provinces across Canada,” explained Reader. “What makes our initiative unique is that BCEHS is implementing it province-wide, while others have done it in one municipality, or one hospital or other health facility. “I’m excited to be part of the program. It’s a way for paramedics to be more valuable, more useful in a community, and that’s a good thing for all of us.”

Princeton Crisis Assistance received a boost from the staff at Manning Park recently, benefitting from half of the food collected during the park’s opening weekend. Ten dollars was taken off the cost of each lift ticket for skiers who donated canned goods. The balance of the donations were given to the Hope Food Bank.

Trades and losses Bob Marsh
It was a busy week for the Princeton Posse, with lots of changes to the roster and two losses posted to the standings. Under the pressure of the December 1st carding deadline Thomas Cankovic was traded at his request to Creston where he joins former Posse coach Bill Rotheisler who recently joined the bench there as an assistant. Zak Babin was traded to Nelson to make room for returning netminder Stephen Heslop and the team acquired Tristyn Olson from the Osoyoos Coyotes. The Coyotes spanked the Posse 7-1 Wednesday night and Princeton lost 4-1 Saturday to Summerland. Above Sunhil Sahota makes a fierce hit against the Steam.
