Cold snap fuels crisis By Andrea DeMeer Similkameen Spotlight

Margaret Fraser

The first real freeze of the season created spectacular scenery across the Similkameen Valley, including this ice display at the home of the Antonick family on Princeton Summerland Road. The weather is less beautiful however for people who struggle with problems like homelessness, heating bills and empty cupboards.

The recent and sudden drop in temperatures has left some Princeton residents – literally – out in the cold, while social service agencies say they are scrambling to meet a growing need with limited resources. Princeton Crisis Assistance responded to 12 requests for help in the last week. Board director Rayleen Brewer, who also runs the Crisis Assistance Thrift Store, told the Spotlight homelessness is a more pressing concern during winter months, and there are some people in Princeton who already cannot pay their heating bills. “I’ve got two or three clients right now who have no heat in their homes,” she said. Crisis Assistance provides emergency shelter and food for those in need. “I just had an emergency where a lady’s house was condemned for gas poisoning. She came in and we put them up in a motel for the weekend,” said Brewer. The program’s budget doesn’t extend to more than a two night stay, so Brewer then put the woman in touch with the Ombudsman’s office to assist her in getting help from her landlord, and directed her to local churches for more assistance. “We just had another young guy in here, homeless. He was 17 and we couldn’t put him in a motel because he wasn’t 18,” she said. “He was leaving an abusive home…the ministry basically told him they couldn’t do anything for him until Monday.” The young man was provided shelter in a private home for the weekend, and then sent to Penticton where he will be placed in a group home. “The hardest part is I can’t completely help them no matter what. We put a band aid on it.” Princeton Crisis Assistance is funded entirely by proceeds from its Thrift Store on Vermilion Avenue, and donations from the community and local businesses. Valley First Credit Union is a major supporter of the program, making several cash donations each year from various

fundraisers, and last year Copper Mountain Mine played Santa by paying off the program’s bills at the end of the year. “The more money we have the more money we can put out to other people,” said Brewer. She said in addition to paying for food and shelter, the program’s expenses include $425 per month in rent to the Town of Princeton, which owns the Thrift Store building. Another $200 per month in rent is paid to St. Paul’s United Church for a room to house the food cupboard. Brewer is not aware at this time of anyone living on the streets of Princeton or in a car. “I’ve never seen it personally. I’ve never had anyone come into the store and say that,” she said. “They are not living on the street per say but couch surfing, getting kicked out, that seems to be what I see the most.” During summer months Princeton sees more people “on the streets” because of transients associated with fruit orchards in nearby communities. “Some people live in their tents,” she said. Business is also booming for Princeton’s Cindy Parolin Safe House, the women’s shelter operated by the Family Services Centre. Manager Dani Grothe said that while the centre’s mandate is to provide emergency housing for women and children who are leaving unsafe domestic situations, she is fielding an increasing number of calls from clients who simply have no place to live. “It’s added pressure because we only have so much funding and trying to help people that don’t have a place to go – it’s not what we do but how do you turn someone away?” Brewer and Grothe agree the town needs a homeless shelter and Brewer said that issue will be discussed at an upcoming meeting of local social service agencies. Al Kovaltsenko, who operates Shining His Light Ministries and is a former manager of the Princeton Crisis Assistance, recently opened a second food bank in town to assist the needy. continued page 11

Newly elected Area H director already on the job By Andrea DeMeer Similkameen Spotlight

The new director of Area H, Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen, wasted no time getting down to business following his decisive victory at the polls Saturday night. Bob Coyne was already traveling and attending meetings Monday, getting up to speed on the issues that face Area H in the coming four years. “It’s very exciting and a little overwhelming. I shouldn’t say overwhelming, it’s a huge, huge job and there are a lot of new things to learn,” said Coyne in an interview Monday with the Spotlight. Coyne captured the director’s seat handily with 354 votes. Charles Weber had 193 votes and Jamie Frandsen had 37. According to Christy Malden, manager of legislative services for RDOS, there was a 36% voter turn out in Area H.

When asked about his priorities in the short term Coyne pointed to Forest Corporation operations and responsibilities, adding there will be a meeting of that organization in the new year. The future of Chain Lake is another pressing concern, he said. “Today we were in Penticton meeting with the Ministry of Fisheries over the health of Chain Lake,” said Coyne. “Chain Lake this year had a big bloom of algae. Chain Lake is a big economic driver due to the size and the use of the campsite there so it becomes an important part of our economy for tourism and that campsite is full all summer long. “That was today’s issue and tomorrow’s issue is the hospital steering committee meeting and Wednesday is the Similkameen Planning Society meeting.” Coyne, who spent election night with his family and exiting Area H director Brad Hope, said he felt good about the campaign

process. “Everybody behaved themselves and everybody treated one another with respect.” He added a thank you “to everyone in the community who went out and voted and thanks to everyone who supported me.” Weber could not be reached for comment Monday. Fransden responded “no comment” to a request for an interview. In a phone interview Hope declared himself very satisfied with the election results. “I’m really pleased Bob has gotten in. I think he’s going to be terrific. I’ve known Bob for a long time. He’s honest, hard working, and he has the interests of the community. I know he’s going to listen to the community and really act on their behalf. I couldn’t be happier. “Bob’s going to be great for Area H, and in the long run really good for the town.”

Letters to the Editor

Area H brand defended

To the Editor: I am writing regarding your article “What’s in a name? Not much if you live in the regional district.” Ms. DeMeer says she doesn’t like our area being called “Area H”. She would prefer something more colourful. The term “Area H” encompasses many small communities within a set boundary. That huge area is overseen by one Director. The communities in Area H are: Coalmont, Tulameen, Allison Lake, East Gate, Osprey Lake, Erris, Missezula Lake, and Princeton Fringe. Each of these communities is quite unique. To give them one non-generic name would, in my opinion, rob each neighbourhood of its individuality. Anyone living in these villages can tell you that they are not alike and many cringe when they are occasionally lumped together. Ask any past Director for Area H and he/she will tell you just how distinct these communities are and what a challenge it is to understand all of their individual needs. “Area H” is simply the name given to a giant umbrella; huddled under it are eight uniquely named areas that are quite proud of their eccentricities. Diane Sterne, Coalmont

There is no revenge as complete as forgiveness Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca

Politicians could benefit from studying carefully the inspiring example of Nelson Mandela.

Elections have an uncanny and inconvenient capacity to expose community fault lines. This once again became evident prior to last week’s municipal vote. Especially in larger centres like Vancouver, Surrey, Abbotsford and Kelowna, the vitriol at times flowed as freely as beer at a bartenders convention. Ambitious politicians flayed at each other with verbal clubs in media ads, a plethora of letters and brochures in our mail boxes, public meetings etc. There was the usual frenzied competition to persuade us by putting up enough signs to construct a few homes. Even in Princeton, Keremeos and usually quiet, peaceful Hedley, cracks were revealed in the political and social fabric. We have come to accept that politicians will heatedly espouse opposing views as to what is most beneficial for our community. When the skirmishing between leaders becomes personal and continues after the election, we have reason to be concerned. Leaders at war with each other are not able to focus on creating a safer, healthier, more vibrant community. We cannot do anything about fault lines that exist below the earth’s surface. By examining our motivation and changing our thinking, we can do something about fault lines in the fabric of our communities. For the sake of the people, it is essential that leaders develop the maturity, wisdom and

will to work productively with those who hold differing views. We grow stronger as a community when we do not permit diversity of outlook and ideas to divide us. Wise leaders, whether in politics, business, a profession, etc., consider the ramifications of their attitudes, words and actions. They choose to work constructively with others, sometimes even with those who have radically different ideas. This will almost certainly mean overlooking slights, harsh words, possibly even physical injury. It may also require forgiving. Josh Billings has said, “There is no revenge so complete as forgiveness.” Politicians could benefit from studying carefully the inspiring example of Nelson Mandela. For much of the 26 years of his imprisonment, he was held in the infamous Robben Island Prison. He was compelled to do hard labour in a lime quarry and was permitted only rare visits from his wife Winnie and their two daughters. He longed to be at home with his family and to continue his struggle against the government’s policy of strict dehumanizing racial segregation. It grieved him when he received reports of his people being shot while demonstrating against Apartheid. When the government realized it could no longer cling to power, Nelson Mandela was released. Elected to the position of President, it was expected he would wreak vengeance on the minority white population. South

Africa was in danger of degenerating into a bloody civil war. Mandela’s thinking, decisions and actions would determine its future. While in prison he had made a conscious decision to not become bitter. He chose to rise above the pain and loneliness of his lost years. The understanding and philosophy he developed during the difficult years of confinement enabled him to forego punishing those who had kept his people in virtual slavery. He understood that for the good of all citizens, black and white, he must rise above anger and bitterness. He needed to enlist the skills, experience, and cooperation of the former masters. To this end, he appointed F.W. de Klerk, the former president, as his first Deputy President. The politicians elected in the Similkameen communities last Saturday don’t need to deal with issues that could destroy their community and bring death to many. But there are important matters to grapple with. Many of these were raised in the race to win. Will the winners shut out the losers now or will they respect them and listen to them? Will the losers adopt a fifth column role, always seeking to undermine and sabotage those in power? Whether there is animosity or a spirit of cooperation will to a great extent be determined by the level of maturity and good will demonstrated by our leaders, both winners and losers. Societal and political fault lines do not have to divide our communities.

Mural honours first European woman to settle in Princeton Merrilyn Huycke Artifacts

A few of you may know that since spring, I’ve been working on a large mural, a portrait of Susan Allison, first European woman to settle in the Princeton area. You may also know that the work is now finished and hung. There were many steps in the creation and execution of the project, starting with researching the person depicted. Once an appropriate image was chosen as a basis for the painting, more research was required regarding the process and execution. There is endless information on the internet on just about any subject under the sun and so a person needs to be discriminating in selecting what is useful and what is rubbish. Once I found a reliable source, I spent much time reading everything I could on what would be best for the job, both regarding materials as well as methods. Orders for mural quality paint with high resistance to UV rays and fading were shipped from Vancouver, Crezon (sign painter’s plywood for outdoor work) was purchased and cut to size. Bracing was constructed for the Crezon. Large quality brushes were obtained and weatherproof undercoats of acrylic were applied. Having followed these steps, I was able to move forward with confidence that I was heading in the right direction. I planned for a couple of months work, leaving plenty of time to take a good long vacation when I was done.

Of course, getting down to the actual sketching in and then painting of Susan Allison was another thing altogether and I believe I’ve shared the agony and sometimes ecstasy with you this past summer in a previous column. There were many hours of pacing and re-measuring. There were blocks and excuses. However, the day finally came when the last coat of varnish was applied and the case of nerves morphed into elation. It was finished! Well, not quite. The part about framing and hanging was no longer something that was to be done in the distant future because the distant future was now, right here in front of my nose. I knew I was out of my element but I had an idea or two. The problem was, I had none of the tools needed. I had been a professional picture framer for several years while living in Calgary but I had never framed anything as big as six feet by eight feet. I put in a heartfelt plea for help from the Town of Princeton and like knights in shining armour, they handled the job with great care and professionalism, for which I will be eternally grateful. Interestingly, one of the men on the crew was a greatgrandson of Susan Allison. As I watched the mural being attached to the wall, the elation returned. It was finished! But hold on! There was still the unveiling in a half an hour and it hit me like a bucket of ice water in the face - I was supposed to speak in public! No! No! How could I possibly not have seen that coming? Do you have any idea how much I

hate speaking in public? I would rather have a couple of root canals than speak in public. However, a short while later, Mayor Armitage and Susan MacGregor, (a grand-daughter of Susan Allison) both accomplished speakers, kept me coherent by their presence and enthusiasm. And so, after a slightly harrowing few minutes for me, the black covering was pulled down. There were polite “Ohs” and Ahs” from the out-of-towners (the locals in attendance had seen it already) and I gave a huge sigh of relief because it really was finished! That night, I slept well. And the next night. During the next few days, I began to actually feel the difference in my body. I was relaxed! I truly was finished. There wasn’t going to be another case of nerves. I even waited for “The Dream”. It’s the one you have after, say, you’ve passed your exams and received your degree and it’s hanging on the wall in your studio. Then you have the dream that you missed that last most important exam and they’ve come to take the degree away and you’re toast. Your life as you know it is over! The dream hasn’t come - yet. So I’ve been thinking that maybe I might just start something that’s been on my mind for a few years. It’s a series of three, maybe four large paintings about ordinary humans doing extraordinary things. I figure it shouldn’t take me more than a few months to finish...

With only two teams from Kamloops and one team from Spokane the Atom tournament turned out to be small, but very fun. There was a 3-way tie for second after the round robin. After all the calculations, Spokane and Kamloops Knights played for Silver and Gold and the Minor Posse played the Kamloops Spitfires for Bronze. Spokane Jr Chiefs won the gold medal with an 11-2 win and the Minor Posse won the Bronze with a 10-4 win. Skylar McKinnon, Elias Frost, Maddisen Fulton and Noah Vandergulik won the Heart and Hustle Awards for our games. The Atom team thanks sponsors, Atlas Copco, Mac Aggregates, Finning, Orica, SMS Equipment, Hypower, Acklands and Cooper’s Foods, who helped make this an amazing event to host.

Deck the halls and join the chamber for dinner There’s still time left to get the hottest ticket this holiday season. The Princeton and District Chamber of Commerce is busy preparing for the Community Christmas Gathering. The second annual event is a fun-filled evening for business owners and their staff.

The premiere business event takes place December 4 starting at 6 p.m. Dinner is served at 7 p.m. Tickets are just $25 a person and includes a live band, prizes and raffles throughout the night. Tickets can be bought through the Chamber office.

The sure to be fun filled night comes just a week after the popular and beloved event, Christmas Light Up, which has become a family tradition for many. Light up kicks off at 3:30 p.m. November 29 with a variety of events for everyone.

“It’s Christmas” with the

Bob Marsh

Newly signed Bailey Stephens gave the hometown crowd a good show Friday night in a 6-3 blow up of the Kimberley Dynamiters. Stephens turned away 22 shots. Andrea DeMeer Rotheisler said in of the Game with two Trevor Pereverzoff conSimilkameen Spotlight coming weeks the goals. Eden Dubchak tributed singles. Assists

team’s goals are straightforward. “I think obviously we want to maintain our distance with Summerland and close the gap on Osoyoos. Our main goal beyond where we end up in the standings for the season is we are a team built for longevity. Our main goal is for all 23 men to develop their individual games so that by play-off time we are the strongest team to play.” Last Wednesday the Posse doubled the Osoyoos Coyotes 4-2, at home. Captain Kurtis Klinger was the Star

and Brandon Workun each added a marker. Assists were recorded by Cooper Prechel, Destin Robinson, Connor Sloan, Tyler Elhers, Colton St. John, and Trevor Pereverzoff. Stephen Heslop turned away 35 of 37 shots. Friday night Colton St. John was the Star of the Game, in front of a hometown crowd that included his family visiting from Alaska. St. John notched two goals, while Estevan Hale, Bryan Kromm, Morton Johnston and

went to Tyler Ehlers, Pereverzoff, Bradley Palumbo, Kurtis Klinger and Brandon Workun. Bailey Stephens caught 22 of 25 pucks at the net. Sunday night on the road Osoyoos extracted revenge downing the Posse 7-3. Destin Robinson was the Away Star of the Game with a goal. Cooper Prechel and Morton Johnston also scored for Princeton and assists were earned by Connor Sloan, Levi Harris and Tristan VanderMeulen. Stephen Heslop faced 39 shots, and made 32 saves.

The Posse rode to a two-one record in the past week, splitting decisions with the division’s top team the Osoyoos Coyotes and blowing up the Kimberley Dynamiters in Friday night action on home ice. The Posse maintained its position as second in the division, and pulled ahead slightly from third place Summerland with a three-point spread. Speaking before Sunday night’s game in Osoyoos – which ended in a 7-3 defeat – head coach Bill Rotheisler said the team’s recent performances show “the boys seem to have found a level of consistency with their preparations to a point where it doesn’t matter who we’re playing we will certainly be ready.” While pleased with the team’s recent development overall, Rotheisler said he’s especially happy with netminder Stephen Heslop. “If I’m going to pull someone out of that I would have to say our goaltender Stephen Heslop, who we’ve seen a huge transformation in.” Rotheisler said the 19-year-old starter is demonstrating a new maturity in the crease. He added newly signed goalie Bailey Stephens is also playing well. “Bailey is 2 and 0 with some pretty good numbers against a good team. Bailey’s been a nice surprise. He’s played two games so far in this league and he’s been excellent. “I can easily say this is the happiest I’ve been with my goaltending since I’ve been in Princeton – confident I should say.”

Bald eagle accompanies naturalists on White Sands Beach hike Janis Wright

Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists benefited from yet another day of wonderful weather on Ed Staples’ November 1st field trip to White Sands Beach. Eight of us made our way along the KVR trail from Coalmont, some of us walking and others cycling, with arrival times somewhat staggered throughout the morning. A lone bald eagle watched over us as we started our trek between sandstone bluffs and the gently flowing Tulameen River, with colourful bushes and bare aspens in the background. We carried in wood and quickly had a fire going once we arrived at the beach. It kept us warm while we cooked our food, and lunch lasted a good two hours, enhanced by laughter and the sharing of tasty treats! We were blessed with warming sunshine on our return trip, and once again we gave thanks for our good fortune – enjoying fresh air and striking scenery in the company of good friends – it doesn’t get any better than this! Our next hike will be Saturday, Nov. 22nd, when Jeannie Walker will lead us on a 4-hour hike at China Ridge. Please confirm attendance with her at 250295-3047 and meet at Billy’s Restaurant parking lot by 9 am. for carpooling. Please join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 11th, 7 pm at Riverside Centre, when Kelley Cook will speak on the Cascade recreational area. Our meetings and field trips are always convivial affairs, and guests or new members are always welcome! The Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists are planning a hike this Saturday at China Ridge. All are welcome.

Winter always creates challenges for agencies continued from page one He said winter is always a difficult time. “We have prices going up left, right and centre and all these programs are being cut by the government.” Princeton CAO Rick Zerr said in an interview that homelessness is not a large problem in Princeton. “We have very few that I know of, or that we know of in the hall.” According to Zerr people in need of assistance can visit the Service BC office in Princeton Plaza on Tapton Avenue, where they will be given vouchers and directed to the social services to make an application for social assistance. Zerr said “municipalities aren’t really

involved in those kinds of services…but we’d never leave anybody high and dry.” He added that people who may be considered homeless often have options. “It’s not because they don’t have a place to stay, maybe it’s a place they don’t want to stay.”

Hundreds of residents, including members of council, the business community and the entire Princeton Posse turned out November 11 at Veteran’s Square.

“We’re at war again” Tara Bowie Spotlight Staff

Attendance was up and people were more generous this Remembrance Day. Jim Turner, president of Royal Canadian Legion Branch #56 in Princeton, said recent tragedies on Canadian soil brought remembrance to the forefront. “We’re at war again,” he said during a phone interview Monday. “We’re really at war again and now we’re fighting terrorist on our own soil.” Just less than a month ago, Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, a 28-year CF veteran, died of injuries he sustained after being run down by a vehicle in Quebec. Two days later, a man gunned down Cpl. Nathan Cirillo as he stood guard at the National War

Memorial in Ottawa. Those tragedies along with the somber anniversaries of the First World War and Second World War brought residents out in droves. “We don’t take a count of people but I would say it looked up. There was a lot more people on Vermillion than previous years,” he said. “Both halls were full as people came to have coffee and sandwiches after the ceremony.” Final tallies are not complete for the annual poppy fund campaign but Turner expects donations have increased. Each year the campaign brings in about $10,000 to help aid veterans with programs and equipment. “The numbers aren’t quite in The Royal Canadian Mounted Police led the colour party to the Princeton Cenotaph to start the yet but we expect they are up. It’s Remembrance Day ceremony. been very successful. The people have been very generous,” he said.

Highland dancers fling into competition success

The Princeton Highland Dancers had a busy 2013/2014 season with competitions in Castlegar, Kamloops, Cumberland and Victoria on Vancouver Island, Richmond, Delta, and Kamloops. In addition to regular competitions, this year the Richmond Oval in Richmond, B.C. was chosen to hold the ScotDance Canada Championships. Local dancers attended. The ScotDance Canada Championship is a five-day competition including the Canadian National Championships and the Canadian Open Championships. The week started off with a massive opening ceremonies dance. Each Highland Dance club across B.C. was sent a choreographed dance routine to practice, perfect, and

perform. This dance honour was only open to Premier Dancers. The Princeton Highland Dancers practiced at home and then made a special road trip to Vernon to practice with Cheryl Rossborough’s dancers from the Avie More Dance Studio. Local Premier Dancers included dance teacher Clara Coyne, Layne Robillard, Shelby Maynard and Taylor White. The day of the opening ceremonies the local dancers met with dance instructor/choreographer Heather Jolley from Coquitlam to hold a practice, a rehearsal and the big show all within a five hour period. Nerves were jumping. One hundred and fifty-seven top level dancers from across B.C. hit the enormous nine platform long stage

at 6 p.m. Payton and Teagan Cranston, Miranda Frost and Natalie Yurkowski, also performed at the event. The younger girls attended the opening ceremonies and the next day. The four dancers competed in the first day of the Highland competition. Natalie and Teagan both came home with medals. Teagan got a fifth in her pas de basque and in her highcuts. Natalie brought home a handful of medals. Of the Premier Dancers who danced all five days, Shelby Maynard earned a sixth for her blue bonnets and Clara Coyne earned a first in blue bonnets, second in reel and village maid, third in the seann triubhas, and fifth in the jig and the fling,
