A night for teens and tiaras Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

There was more than one Disney-like moment Friday night at the coronation of the Princeton Youth Ambassadors. In front of a standing-room-only crowd at the Riverside Centre, 16-yearold Hannah Gould was crowned Princeton’s Ambassador for 2015 - 2016. Gould said winning the event “feels pretty good,” but admitted the highlight of the evening was wearing her ball gown and tiara at her very first dance following the crowning. “I’ve never been to a dance before and it was amazing. We danced and danced.” The two-hour coronation ceremony was nerve-wracking, she said. “I was anxious to see the outcome. You’re not sure what can happen and you’re a little nervous. You are absolutely excited to see who goes up and is recognized.” Sponsored for the program by Billy’s Restaurant, where she works during the summer as a server, Gould said: “I originally entered to be with my friends. Then my mom told me that she had also been in the program and that sparked a greater interest.” Gould is entering Grade 11 in September, and is a lifelong Princeton resident. She is a certified figure skating coach, volunteering for the local club, and also the only female hockey referee working with Princeton Minor Hockey. Gould also received the talent award Friday night, and she said the talent show – where she demonstrated her proficiency at tying flies – was one of her favorite parts of the program. “Everybody got to be themselves and show something that they love to do naturally.” Sports and fishing may take a back seat in the coming year as there is considerable travel involved in being an ambassador. The Princeton ambassador team is heading to Kamloops, Penticton and Kelowna in the next couple of weeks. “I’m just really excited for this year and I’m really excited that I’m going to be doing this with my friends.” There was also magic in the air Friday night for Princeton’s

newly crowned ViceAmbassador Victoria Gibb, who had an emotional and enthusiastic cheering section made up of family members. Sixteen-year-old Gibb, who was sponsored by Coopers Foods, was candid throughout the selection process– particularly during speech night – regarding her personal struggles. Her mother Della Osborne was on her feet when her daughter’s name was announced. “Victoria was gone from Princeton for four years in what was really a

horrible situation so for her to come back and be accepted in the community was just really amazing,” Osborne said. “That night, sitting in that building with all those people clapping and cheering for her, it was just huge.” Gibb also received one of two prizes awarded Friday night for top marks in the Princeton knowledge exam. Gibb was especially pleased to follow her siblings through the ambassador program. Her brother Bobby was a contestant in 2010 and her sister and mentor Taylor was vice-ambassador in 2013. “It definitely makes me feel so happy,” said a beaming Gibb, who added she is looking forward to “going places and getting to meet people and talk to people.” Thyme Callihoo was crowned Friday night as Princeton’s Friendship Ambassador. Sponsored by the Princeton Legion, Callihoo also won the speech award. Callihoo is active in basketball, volleyball and cheerleading and said the Friendship Ambassador is a special honor as it is chosen by the contestants. “It made me feel like I was very welcomed,” she said. Katie Bartlett, sponsored by Princeton Rotary Club, received an award for the Princeton exam and an award for most improved candidate went to Kelsey Fuller sponsored by Tulameen Trading Post.. Each contestant received a certificate for completing a Toast Masters program.

Sixteen-year-old Hanna Gould was crowned Princeton Ambassador 2015-2016 Friday night in a packed ceremony at Riverside Centre. During the impromptu question portion of the competition Gould said the most important thing to her, when she is 80 years old, will be walking and keeping fit.

Police briefs

“Vigilantes” face Police get break assault charges in break ins Police say a “vigilante” element exists in the recent arrests of three men – all members of the same family – for three local assaults. “They were basically a little vigilante group in connection to a break and enter that had happened to a member of their family,” he said “They took it upon themselves to extract justice so we had three complaints about a black pick up truck running around town and three males jumping out and beating people up on the side of the road.” The men facing charges range in age from 20 to 40 and are from Prince George and Penticton. No one was seriously injured in the assaults, and the accused have been released on bail with the condition they do not visit Princeton except for court. The arrests occurred June 27.

Friday morning impaired charge A man of no-fixed address was charged Friday July 3 with impaired driving after an accident on Coalmont Road. The accident occurred about 11 a.m. when a car left the road and hit the rock face. The driver and a female passenger were not injured, said Police Sergeant Barry Kennedy.

A Princeton man who police are linking to a recent spate of break and enters in the area has been returned to jail after breaching his conditions of release and faces further charges. According to RCMP Sergeant Barry Kennedy police were acting on a tip that the man possessed a sawed off shot gun when they searched a trailer on Ninth Avenue. While no gun was found police recovered drugs and stolen property, said Kennedy. “We got property back from the recent B and Es. Billy Solomon, 31, faces charges that are currently being reviewed by the Crown. The arrest occurred June 28.

Rain causes crash

Two people were injured in a head on collision on Highway 3 22 km west of Princeton June 29. According to Barry Kennedy, RCMP Sergeant, the accident was caused by heavy rain. “There was a downpour and the eastbound vehicle lost control and hydroplaned across the centre line striking a west bound vehicle head on. In both cases the drivers were lone occupants of their cars and they were both taken to Princeton General Hospital and then transferred to Penticton with multiple fractures and non-life threatening internal injuries. Kennedy said the accident might have been more serious if both cars had not reduced speed due to the weather conditions.

Church leader will be missed for unique music and ministry Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

A Christian leader in Princeton who devoted his life to helping others died unexpectedly this week. Allan Kovaltsenko suffered a heart attack last Wednesday and died Monday morning from a brain aneurysm in Penticton General Hospital. The founder of Shining His Light Ministries, Kovaltsenko also worked for many years as a manager of the Princeton Crisis Assistant Society, running its thrift store, Christmas hamper campaign and food bank. More recently he operated a food bank from Shining His Light, where he also held Sunday morning gospel music services and gave free guitar lessons. Father Harry Clarke, pastor of St. Peters Catholic Church, told The Spotlight Kovaltsenko will be missed in the community. “Allan was very connected with broken people and he devoted a large part of his life to answering their needs. Of course he was motivated by his Christian faith and he put a lot of his private resources into it. He had an enormous skill in his music but also in his energy to bring people to the best dignity he could offer.” Clarke said Kovaltsenko would take calls “any time of the day or night” for the food bank, and purchased much of the food he gave away personally and described him as an evangelist who “dealt with people who other churches weren’t dealing with.’” “He believed in the Gospel and he put it into practice,” he said. “There are words for people like that and they are just exceptions to the norm.” Kovaltsenko was a popular regular visitor at Ridgewood Lodge and Vermillion Court, where he offered residents both music and ministry.

Allan Kovaltsenko shared ministry through music in his own church group, as well as at other churches in town, at free concerts and with the area’s seniors.

“He was just kindness,” said Lydia Carter, who attends Shining His Light Ministries. “He was so generous. He had people lined up to do odd jobs for and he didn’t charge.” Carter said Kovaltsenko friends are “just shocked. We actually say ‘God, why would you take him.’” Kovaltsenko is survived by his wife Shareyl

said Armitage. Armitage said it’s important to the downtown to have the fire debris cleaned away as quickly as possible. “We want to remove it. It’s not a very sightly thing for visitors coming to Princeton.” Golden Hills owner Jay Singh was sleeping in the backroom of the restaurant the night of June 12 when the blaze broke out, and was only able to escape the building after being awakened by passersby. When contacted last week by The Spotlight Singh declined to comment on the property clean up or the future of the business.

Fire debris should be cleared this week The fire that destroyed Golden Hills Ice Cream and Coffee Shop in downtown Princeton three weeks ago has been deemed not-suspicious in nature by two separate investigations. Police Sergeant Barry Kennedy said “there is no criminal element” to the fire and Princeton Volunteer Fire Chief John Larsen concurred arson has been ruled out. Larsen added the cause of the fire, however, remains underdetermined. Clean up is expected to begin this week at the fire site, according to Mayor Frank Armitage. “I’ve spoken with the insurance adjuster on the recent fire we had on Bridge Street, last Thursday, and he advised me that he was trying his darnedest to get everything organized for the first of this week,”

BC flag poses its own questions

It’s incredible – the power we invest in a symbol like the flag. Easy for flags to be top of mind now – with so many national flag waving opportunities on both sides of the border in the past week, to say nothing of all those rainbow banners. The most compelling flag story of late is the beleaguered battle flag of the Southern Confederacy. Barack Obama thinks it belongs in a museum, Ebay won’t to sell it and even NASCAR is distancing itself as fast as it possibly can from a symbol that some defend as reflecting history and pride, and others see as promoting hate and racism. Last week TV Land pulled the Dukes of Hazard from its line up, as the Stars and Bars figures prominently on the roof of the General Lee. Oh Beau. Oh Luke. Hello crazy people, it’s just a flag. It’s actually less than that. It’s a scrap of polyester that was very possibly stitched together in China by a seven-year-old working 14-hour shifts in a sweat shop for pennies a day. And there are people who say that flag has nothing to do with slavery. The flag is an invitation to violence, claim its worst detractors, in the wake of a deadly shooting at the Mother Emanuel Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston. Nine people were shot and killed by a man who was previous photographed with the Confederate emblem. Of course the correct way to prevent future tragedies is for Wal-Mart to remove the flag from its shelves….while it continues to sell guns and ammunition. The world is full of symbols that have been empowered to mean different things. The best-known example is probably the swastika, adopted by the Nazi party in 1920. The “hooked cross” is actually a 5,000 year old sign of peace. To this day it is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism. It is a common sight on temples or houses in India or Indonesia. Understandably, others find it extremely offensive. Just for giggles let’s look at one of British Columbia’s treasured symbols – its own provincial flag. Adopted in its present form in 1960, the original flag had the Union Jack on the bottom, and this was changed to reflect the motto “the sun never sets on the British Empire.” The British Empire conjurs a lot of images, not all of them benevolent. One needn’t go as far back as the War Between the States to document atrocities. In the 1950s tens of thousands of people died in British run concentration camps in China, Kenya and Cyress. Thirty million people were displaced in the ill considered partitioning of India in 1947. In 1919, thousands of peaceful protestors – people wanting only freedom – were set upon in the infamous Amritsar Massacre. During the Boer War at the turn of the last century 20,000 Black Africans were captured and worked to death in slaves camps. Really? The sun never sets on that stuff? Damn. The British Empire is also credited with great and amazing things, promoting trade, infrastructure, and technological, medical and social advancements around the globe. There are many ways to look at history. There are many ways to look at symbols. Hate, racism and a shameful or prideful past do not live in a flag. They live in people. And that’s what we should be talking about. - AD PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY Annual subscription: $35.24 locally, $54.29 elsewhere in Canada.

Playing for life in a high stakes poker game Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca

I knew attempting to persuade Howie Smith to do anything was a lot like playing poker with a professional gambler. Before being sent to our camp in Hedley, he’d been in foster homes and group homes. Although only 15, he had decided that every worker’s goal was to change him. He had become adept at resisting change. His goal was to one day be sentenced to Matsqui Institution, a federal penitentiary where he’d heard his Dad was doing time. On this July day, with the temperature in the high 30’s, a one inch thick steak placed on the hood of a car would have broiled in minutes. As I walked toward the Lodge where our students ate lunch, I felt certain Howie would be waiting. His group was planning to swim in the Similkameen River. Howie though, was assigned to kitchen duty in the Lodge today and I knew he’d resist this tenaciously. I knew also the others would be keen observers as he argued his case. If Howie contrived to avoid kitchen duty they would employ his tactics when they wished to avoid an assignment. As program coordinator, the weight of this fell on me. The Probation Officer’s background notes indicated no one had been able to control Howie to this time - not his mother, the school system, the probation officer, or the police.

He was too smart, focused and stubborn to be bribed. Too tough to feel threatened. And seemingly too insulated, at least to this time, to respond to love. Walking briskly along the path to the Lodge, Howie and the others came into view. They had finished lunch and were lounging languidly around the picnic tables under the tall pines, trying to escape the intense Hedley heat. Their equally over-heated leaders were talking quietly at another table. Howie’s white kitchen garb contrasted sharply with his shiny black hair and dark skin. I plunked myself down on a table top and, as I had anticipated, he detached himself from the little group and parked himself resolutely in front of me. Feet spread apart and arms folded across his chest, it seemed he wanted to intimidate me. Like most students, he had arrived here already a committed smoker. Without shifting his intent gaze from my face, he inhaled deeply from his cigarette, gathering courage. He knew I wouldn’t roll over easily. “I need to talk to ya!” he said, a distinct note of challenge already in his voice. “Yes Howie, that’s why l came.” For a moment my response disconcerted him. Then, jerking his head toward the Lodge, he said “I don’t want to go back in there. Everyone’s going swimming in the river.”

I had his attention, but, not wanting to be conned, he silently scrutinized me with great intensity. After an uncomfortable silence, I said quietly, “Howie, do you want to know what your dad would say?” Brushing a fly from his arm, he relented. “Ya,” he said, “I do.” Placing a hand on his shoulder, I lowered my voice and spoke as though to my own son. “Howie, I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. The one I regret most is walking away from the family. If I had been there when you needed me, your life would have been better.’’ A single tear trickled down Howie’s cheek. I continued, “Son, I always turned from the hard things. Never got strong. When I grew up, I was afraid. Don’t be like me. The hard stuff will make you strong. For you there’s still time.” I paused, then said, “Howie, I haven’t told you this before, but I really do love you.” Aware an attempt to persuade him would be frustrating and a waste of time for us both, I decided to take a calculated risk. “Howie,” I said. “Ya.” “If your dad was here, I think there’s something he’d really want to say to you.” His eyes widened perceptibly. I was playing an unexpected card.

Howie’s shoulder’s twitched involuntarily, as though the words had touched his soul. There was a straightening of the shoulders, an almost imperceptible nod. “Thanks,” he said, then turned and walked back into the Lodge. You could say Howie lost the poker game, but I’m pretty sure if you’d asked him, he would have said, “I won big.”

worst experience. The DeMeers were new and first-time parents. As such it was understood we’d created a perfect child and she was duly entered in the local fair’s baby show. Assured of victory, we mentally spent the prize money numerous times and counted heavily on that six-month supply of free diapers from the pharmacy. The day of the contest there were more than two-dozen ugly babies on stage, alongside our own daughter. Imagine the family’s shocked and hurt feelings when she wasn’t selected as the grand champion, wasn’t recognized as a runner up and didn’t even get an honorable mention. The child who won couldn’t even sit up by herself, for crying out loud. You call that a baby? The rest of the DeMeer children were never entered in a baby show.

Nearly one year ago, shortly after arriving on the shores of the Similkameen River, someone mentioned the importance of the ambassador event to Princeton. Rocking back on politically calloused heels, it’s possible I rolled my eyes. A beauty pageant, eh? So when it’s noon in Vancouver it’s 1940 here in the valley. It was an obnoxious point of view. Worse, it was inaccurate. Following the contest was an eye-opening pleasure. There may be bouquets and crowns at the end of the day, but there is good, solid cake underneath all that icing. The ambassador program demands a serious commitment from its contestants, its business sponsors and volunteers. The emphasis for participants – demonstrated by various tasks and at a plethora of events – is on personal improvement, education, human

SPOTLIGHT on the ARCHIVES 1 YEAR AGO:

Speed limits going up around B.C.

5 YEARS AGO: Kamloops brings a golden day

20 YEARS AGO:

Willis drafted to Canucks

50 YEARS AGO: Richter Pass Big Day For Keremeos

The B.C. government is raising speed limits around southern B.C., including a new 120 km/h limit on three remote stretches of divided four-lane highway. The new maximum speed applies to the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Kamloops, the Okanagan Connector (Highway 97C) from Aspen Grove to Peachland and Highway 19 from Parksville to Campbell River. The Coquihalla sections get new 120 km/h signs this week, and more changes will roll out this summer as sign crews put up new limits.

A summer competition in Kamloops lured the Princeton Highland Dancers North. Local bagpiping legend Glen Esdale led the trek to Kamloops with Destiny Earle, Shelby Maynard, Taylor White, Lane Herspiegel, Holly Atkinson, Caprice Roccomatisi, Payton Cranston and Makenna Gush all there to show off their skills on an outdoor stage in Albert McGowan Park. Our local talent danced and piped through the heat to come out winners.

Tyler Willis, age 18, was drafted by Vancouver Canucks on Saturday in Edmonton. He was in Kelowna, and did not hear about it for hours. He reacted with disbelief. He has received congratulations from all over the place. “It’s a dream come true.” “He worked very hard and sacrificed a great deal,” says his mother. Tyler is the son of Arne and Diane Willis of Princeton.

The opening of the Richter Pass was a proud day for the Hon. F. Richter, Minister of Agriculture. It was a life-long ambition for the Minister and it has come true. In his opening remarks on the Richter Pass history, Mr. Richter told of the time his father plowed a furrow down from the Summitt to Osoyoos so that he could take his wagon down.

Princeton’s new ambassador team, crowned Friday night, is left Victoria Gibb, vice-ambassador, centre Hanna Gould, ambassador, and right Thyme Callihoo, friendship ambassador.

Appointment Notice

The annual Show and Shine in downtown Princeton was a huge success Saturday, attracting 95 classic vehicles and drawing hundreds to Bridge Street. Organizer Mac MacDonald said there were fewer entrants this year but chalked that up to high temperatures that would have kept some cars off the highway. “Everybody enjoyed the show,” said MacDonald, “the public and the guys that came with the cars. They were amazed at the prizes we had.”

Rick O’Connor, President and CEO of Black Press Group Ltd. is pleased to announce the appointment of Andrew Franklin as Director of Digital Development for the Black Press Group British Columbia Divisions.

Eight of the entrants were from Princeton including Gail Maddill, who was showing her 1964 Ford F100. The truck has been in the family for 17 years, and was lovingly restored by her husband George. Maddill admitted with a smile “I guess I drive it because he built it because it’s not really a pleasure to drive.”

Andrew will be responsible for developing, implementing, tracking and optimizing digital marketing and audience development across British Columbia. He will work with digital staff and group Presidents to further develop our websites and mobile platforms as we continue to grow the digital part of our media business. Andrew has managed award-winning teams over his 30-year newspaper career and has received North American-wide industry recognition for innovative digital initiatives over the last five years. Recently he has taken a lead role in launching new products including the crowdfunding program BlackPress4Good.

Countdown begins Gotta love a parade! for Traditional Music Festival In just five weeks the streets of Princeton will once again be alive with the sound of fiddles, banjoes, singing and dancing. The 8th Annual Princeton Traditional Music Festival begins on Friday, 14 August. Come to Veterans’ Square at 6:15 pm for the opening ceremony and then kick up your heels to the music of Psycho Acoustic Ceili band. On Saturday and Sunday, August 15 and 16 there will be music from 10 am until 6 pm right in downtown Princeton. This year’s Festival will see a number of new performers, among them William Pint and Felicia Dale from Tulalip Washington. Their performances include high energy modern interpretations of sea music such as shanties, poems and other sea songs. Their repertoire is mostly traditional though they have a few contemporary songs or poems set to music in the traditional vein. Felicia plays the hurdy-gurdy, an unusual, eeriesounding instrument that dates back to before the 11th century. Between them they also play guitar, octave mandolin, ukulele, whistles and fiddle. They are known for their friendly stage presence, full sound and arrangements that support the words and emotions of the songs they sing. Pint and Dale’s albums have been favourably reviewed in Dirty Linen magazine, Sing Out magazine, and Folk Roots magazine. They tour regularly in the UK as well as the United States and have also performed in The Netherlands, Germany, Poland and Estonia. In 2011 the Festival featured TriChoir, a group of Doukhobor men from the west Kootenays who sang traditional Doukhobor folk and religious songs. Their energy and commitment to their singing as well as their community spirit were an inspiration and they were a great hit. The Festival has wanted them back ever since and this year we are pleased to present an offshoot of TriChoir called the Volunteer Doukhobor Choir. The Doukhobors were a pacifist, communal sect in Russia who came to Canada in the late 1800s. In the early 1900s a group of them settled in the west Kootenays and Grand Forks, where many of their descendants live

Princeton Mayor Frank Armitage escorted exiting Ambassadors Kassidy McCutcheon and Alex Burke in the Rotary Club parade Friday. William Pint and Felicia Dale from Washington will be performing at the Princeton Traditional Music

today. A capella singing was an integral part of daily life and worship. It was also vital in the preservation and passing on of Doukhobor culture at a time of rapid assimilation into mainstream Canadian society. The singing continues today at public gatherings, house parties, weddings, funerals and community festivals such as ours. The Volunteer Doukhobor Choir will be sharing some of this rich tradition of folksongs, psalms and hymns and say they are, “very happy to celebrate this festival with you and thank the organizers for inviting us. In peace, harmony and friendship.” And we are very happy to have them at the festival. Pint and Dale and the Volunteer Doukhobor Choir are just two of the many new performing groups coming to the Princeton Traditional Music Festival. The Festival begins at 6:15 pm on Friday 14 August with an opening ceremony and a participatory dance on Veterans’ Way. The Traditional music Festival is all free and everyone is welcome. If you would like to find out more, visit the Festival’s website at www.princetontraditional.org. If you’d like to help out at the Festival or billet a performer the committee would love to hear from you. You can email princetonfestival@telus.net or phone 250-2956010.

Chase and Jolia MacDonald were among the appreciative spectators lining the parade’s route. They showed extreme interest in floats distributing candy, although Chase found the fire trucks a little loud for his taste.

Was it only ten years ago? The class of 2005 Princeton Secondary School was all smiles as it drove down memory lane in the Rotary Club parade.

Following the Tellier’s foot trails, the viewpoints to “Top of the World” and “360” were reached. From “Top of the World” the peaks of the Three Brothers, Snass and Outram stuck out proudly in the midmorning sun. At “360” the view was somewhat obscured due to new

growth, showing a good forest recovery. Thinking of lunch we renewed our efforts and continued our trip to Eastmere & Westmere, two lovely lakes in the midst of trees. Common loons swam gracefully around the lily-pad lakes while someone reported Spotted Sandpipers along the shore. Other birds seen or heard on the hike were Spruce Grouse, Red-breasted Nuthatch, Swainson Thrush, Black-capped Chickadee, and Townsend Solitaire. We stopped and had lunch at Westmere. Two adventurous ladies swam in the warm lake, one individual tried his hand at fishing, and others sat and enjoyed the view. The Westmere outhouse was voted the best ever.

We returned to Osprey Lake following the “Brunner Trail” which was established over 60 years ago as a foot trail. Also on view along the trails were wild flowers which unfortunately were starting to dry up from the early summer’s heat; however, in damp areas numerous species abounded, amongst these were Columbian Monkshood, Pink Wintergreen, Bunchberry, and Queen’s Cup. Two special treats at the end of the hike were a Townsend Solitaire’s nest built from a projecting sand bank, and a tree which had been marked by bears many times. The woods are full of wonderful surprises! Meet at Billy’s for the next hike.

The Princeton Posse are pleased to announce the signing of Drew Carter, a dynamic forward from Kelowna, BC. Drew is a highly skilled power forward Drew Carter with soft hands and great vision on the ice. The 18 year old player, distributes the to the Coyotes. “It was a tough decision to move Drew puck very well and makes it difficult on to Nelson last year as he has great potenthe opposition to defend against him. This will be Drew’s second year in the tial, and a gift for offense that is tough to KIJHL, after splitting last season with teach. When I found out he would be a the Osoyoos Coyotes and Nelson Leafs. free agent this season, I knew he would be Drew caught Coach Goodman’s eye a great addition to the Posse and am very before last season and helped bring him pleased he chose to play for Princeton. “
