Downtown to get rainbow proud

While other communtiies have adopted rainbow crosswalks, the idea for Princeton’s crosswalk came from a group of children who produced a rainbow on Bridge Street with sidewalk chalk. Andrea DeMeer Spotlight Staff

The Town of Princeton will spend $2,000 to paint a rainbow crosswalk on Bridge Street, from the post office to Veteran’s Square. The motion was unanimously passed Monday night by council, following a letter requesting the move signed by a number of local residents. Councillor Rosemary Doughty said she was encouraged to support the idea by a group of children in the community, that anonymously colored a downtown crosswalk in sidewalk chalk following the recent US Supreme Court decision opening the door to gay marriage in 50 states.

“The children that came out and did it in sidewalk chalk so inspired me,” she said. “It was beautiful and it just says diversity to me.” Councillor Doug Patemen made the motion for the expenditure, saying “it will brighten our town and make if feel so welcoming.” Mayor Frank Armitage said he expects community wide support for the painting, noting that rainbow crosswalks have already sprung up in communities like Victoria, Vancouver and Prince Rupert. He said the decision was “based on the fact that we have this letter in hand…Society has changed. I will leave it that broad.”

The letter, written by local artist Nienke Klaver, suggested the crosswalk might be a bit of a tourist attraction but will also send a clear message about the way Princeton embraces diversity. “It gives the message that Princeton supports human rights and sexual diversity. It shows that town council does not tolerate discrimination. It identifies Princeton as an open minded and compassionate town where everyone is welcome.” Director of Infrastructure Kevin Huey said the cross walk should be painted in approximately two weeks. An outside firm that has produced other similar crossings will be contracted to complete the project in street grade paint.

Popular exchange student brings Latin America to festival Rika Ruebsaat

Many people in Princeton will know Rui Ferreira, a Rotary exchange student from Brazil who has been living and going to school in Princeton for the past year. Last fall Rui got to know Daniel Davidson, a Princeton resident and a retired mariner of thirty years. It soon became apparent that they both shared a passion for music and supported each other in their respective musical endeavors. They decided that playing together at the Princeton Traditional Music Festival would be a great way to bring their two musical cultures together. It would also be a celebratory fond farewell from Rui to his host family and all the friends he has made in Princeton over the past year. To that end Daniel and Rui have composed some songs that bring together the true life adventures from Daniel’s many years

at sea, traditional Brazilian folk songs from Rui’s home in San Paulo, as well as a few original songs about Rui’s life in Canada. We look forward very much to this intercontinental, cross-cultural collaboration. Daniel and Rui will be performing under the name “The Madeiras.” Watch for them at the Festival. This year’s Festival will feature more Latin American music from Los Porteños del Mundo, a family-based trio from Vancouver. They will take you on a journey through the many musical traditions of a variety of port cultures from Argentina to Canada with many stops in between. “Porteño” means “a person from the port.” The group has a particular passion for the traditional music of Latin America. Some of you may remember Michelle Cormier of Los Porteños del Mundo playing accordion at last year’s festival with a couple dancing the tango to the music. Porteños del Mundo’s

passion for the music they play is expressed in their choice of repertoire that reveals the diverse cultural influences on many of these traditions as well as demonstrating the strong link that many people have to the sea and how living on its bustling shore influences their lives and their music. It is with great pleasure that we once again welcome Princeton’s Member of Parliament, Alex Atamanenko, to sing at the Festival. Alex has performed at the Festival every year since 2010 and we are most grateful for his ongoing and enthusiastic support. This will be his last year as an MP and we look forward to having him perform next year in his “civvies”. Alex has been singing for many years both as a solo performer and with a group called the Balladeers. He performs regularly in seniors’ homes in the Castlegar area. Alex will be singing Canadian folk songs, songs

of the 1960’s folk revival as well as songs in Russian, a language he learned at home. Alex will be performing with Nick Plotnikoff. Daniel and Rui, Los Porteños del Mundo and Alex Atamanenko are just a few of the items on the rich menu of music at this year’s Traditional Music Festival, The festivities begin on the town square on Friday 14 August at 6:15 pm. Then there is music from 10 am until 6 pm on Saturday and Sunday right in downtown Princeton. The best thing about it is that it’s free – no admission is charged. It is run entirely by volunteers including the musicians. 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 250-295-6010.

Police lay charges after recovering property at campsite Spotlight Staff

A phone call to police about a suspicious van downtown last week led to numerous charges against a 40-year-old Princeton man and his 17-yearold female companion from Cawston. RCMP Sergeant Barry Kennedy said police were called in the early hours of Thursday July 16 about a van “that just didn’t seem right.” Officers located and seized the van, as it was uninsured. They released a man and girl to a campsite on Crown land along the Similkameen River after the couple removed several personal items from the vehicle. Later in the morning police received four phone calls from residents in the Billiter Avenue and Lime Street area reporting break and enters that occurred the previous night. The property reported missing included electron-

ics, power tools and jerry cans. “It wasn’t until everyone woke up Thursday morning and they started calling in that we realized we had caught the people who had all this stuff.” After securing a search warrant for a tent police recovered the items reported stolen, as well as stolen property associated with other break and enters in the area. The man was charged with breaking and entering and possession of stolen property over $5,000. The teenage girl – who was released to her parents – faces identical charges, as well as one charge of resisting arrest. Kennedy said the story emphasizes the importance of residents being vigilant and willing to call police. “Look at what we generated out of this. We’ve probably solved seven files just from people calling. Kudos to the people for phoning in.”

Minor injuries in church camp bus crash Multiple people were sent to hospital with minor injuries after a bus carrying youths from a church camp, departing from Princeton, was hit by a Dodge truck 20 kilometres west of Osoyoos Thursday afternoon. Around 1:30 p.m. South Okanagan Traffic Services, Osoyoos RCMP and Keremeos RCMP responded to a collision on Highway 3. A Dodge truck pulling a travel trailer was travelling westbound on Highway 3 when it attempted to pass a tractor trailer unit. A school bus travelling east on Highway 3 was carrying approximately 30 youth from a church camp in Princeton. Police said the driver of the Dodge truck lost control while trying to swerve back in front of the tractor trailer. The driver of the Dodge truck was unable to regain control and slid sideways and the driver’s door went into the front of the bus. The main body of the travel trailer broke free from the trailer frame and went over an embankment bursting into flames and was destroyed by fire. Two of the occupants from the bus were taken to South Okanagan General Hospital (SOGH) in Oliver with minor injuries. The occupants of the

Dwayne Costa, who was arrested in 2013 at a local resort, was acquitted on charges of trafficking. It was alleged in court he was found with three and half ounces of cocaine. Costa received one year of probation and a $1,000 fine.

Dodge were also transported to SOGH and Penticton Regional Hospital with minor injuries. The Ministry of Forests (BC Fire Service) were on scene to extinguish the brush fire caused by the fully engulfed travel trailer. Highway 3 was closed for approximately two hours.

Conservation needs to be cultural

It would be interesting to learn how many people changed their water consumption habits after the province declared the area a Level 3 drought zone a week and a half ago. In addition to banning fishing in the Similkameen and its tributaries, the government asked for municipal, industrial and agricultural users to voluntarily reduce their water use by 20 per cent. There was no hue and cry. In Princeton town officials said they are monitoring water levels. The RDOS said the same thing, and added it is the job of local government to help educate water consumers about ways they can economize. A few cooler-than-usual days and some muchwelcomed rain seem to have dampened serious fears about water shortages. Indeed, it’s unlikely anyone in the valley will actually “run out” of water this summer. Well, except the fish. At the risk of over simplifying the issue, however, the point of water conservation is to conserve water. It’s not so much a matter of putting some water aside so we have enough to drink a week from now. It’s about learning and implementing environmentally friendly practices that will support a healthy water supply for years to come. Never forget the climate has become as unpredictable as an interview with Donald Trump. Perhaps ask Metro Vancouver about that. With reserve levels at 73 per cent and dropping, the city is introducing near Draconian water restrictions this week– no lawn watering, car washing or filling of pools and hot tubs. Water conservation should be no different than recycling, or composting. It needs to be part of family and community culture. On average Bristish Columbians use 490 litres of water a day. Each person, every day. Surely we can do more – or rather less – than that. Consider these suggestions for reducing water use in your own home. It’s trite but true: every little bit helps. Adhere to municipal watering restrictions religiously. Squeal on your neighbors. If you see someone contravening watering restrictions call the municipality and complain. Become the water police. There are fines in Princeton under the water use bylaw starting at $250 and they should be strictly applied regardless of the temperature or rainfall. Take shorter showers. Every minute in the shower uses approximately 19 litres of water. If you are really concerned about conserving water shower with a friend. (But keep it short.) Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth or shaving. When washing fruits and vegetables, use water in a bucket and then use the waste around the garden. Turn off your garburator and compost kitchen scraps. Limit the number of times you mow the lawn. Long grass shades roots and demands less watering. While adhering to municipal water restrictions remember not to water when it’s windy as water will blow off target and evaporate more quickly. Give your lawn limits, even when you are watering within the allowed time frames. Place an empty tuna can on the lawn and when it’s full turn off your sprinklers. Change your tap washers. That can save up to 300 litres of water each week. Always make sure the washing machine is full. One load of wash uses 190 litres of water. BC accounts for 25 per cent of Canada’s fresh running water – and it would be absolutely irresponsible to treat that abundance with anything but the greatest care. - AD

Creative car restoration keeps Cawston man feeling young Art Martens livingsignificantly.ca

For someone who doesn’t consider himself a collector of cars, Ken Helm of rural Cawston, BC certainly has a lot of them. When I asked “how many?” he replied, “I don’t know. Besides, what is a car? I have bodies of cars and plenty of parts. Just haven’t had time to put them all together.” A congenial man with a snow white beard, Ken is eager to share his encyclopedic knowledge of vintage automobiles and their genius creators. We were treated to a virtual seminar as he took us on a tour through several sturdy, weather beaten structures, some of which he had moved to his farm from places like Hedley, Princeton and Manning Park. “I married the farmer’s daughter,” he said to explain how he had come to own this 15 acre property with a phenomenal view. Ken bought his first car, a 1929 Model A coupe, when he was 16. After restoring it, at age 20 he was interviewed for a job by a B.C. Tel (now Telus) foreman. “He realized I knew something about electronics and liked the fact I’d rebuilt a car. They needed someone to fix equipment in remote areas.” He was assigned to the Hedley Microwave site and travelled to this area in the Model A. He drove the car to work every day for at least 20 years. An incomplete (“approximately 1916”) McLaughlin awaited us in his work place. “I had only the 6 cylinder motor when I started this one,“ he said. “I’ve put electric lights on it. In the early years, cars had coal oil lamps for headlights. The fuel tank is a small bar-

rel held in place with brackets from school desks. The throttle is on the steering wheel. It will be a 2 seater, with motor and driver exposed to the elements.” For Ken, much of the joy comes from being unorthodox and innovative. “I’m trying to be a bit creative,” he told us. “I have a picking pile. When I need a part I look until I find one that interests me. Sometimes I make a part.” In a long narrow building I counted 20 motors lined up on sturdy shelving, ready for him to pick one that interests him. In another structure numerous headlamps and steering wheels were hanging from the ceiling. “Finding the right part is like a treasure hunt,” he said. “It’s a big part of the fun. I’m excited when I come up with something totally unique.” For most of us, driving these elderly vehicles would be a nightmare. Not for Ken, although he admits “you’re pretty much on your own for figuring out how to fix them.” He has vivid memories of a trip to Horsefly in a 1927 Model T. “The car went through 15 quarts of oil and 7 tires. When my last tire went flat, a waitress in a café said her exboyfriend had tires. He did.” This trip provided another significant challenge when one of the wooden wheels broke going around a corner. “Luckily, I was able to get a wire wheel from a farmer,” Ken said. “I welded it on and we continued.” Some of Ken’s cars offer unusual features, like a tiny BMW with a single door at the front. The steering wheel is attached to the

door and swings out with the door. This little gem cost him $800 to buy and fix. There is also a Czech built 2 cylinder model with a canvas body. To put it in reverse the motor must be shut off. The same to go forward. Not likely it was ever a big seller. Some of the concepts incorporated into early automobiles would baffle today’s young drivers accustomed to high levels of technology. Looking at a Model T, I said, “you’d have to crank to start it?” “Yes,” Ken responded. “They don’t have a starter.”

In retirement, Ken is still blessed with the enthusiasm of a 20 year old. As we were preparing to leave, I asked what inspires him to continue accumulating and creating what I think of as cars with unique character and sparkling personality. He considered for a moment, stroking the snow white beard, then said, “I think a guy likes to feel he’s part of something. It’s deeply rewarding when you can figure out how to fix a tough problem. It’s a way of expressing who I am.”

Numbers climb at downtown tourist centre Spotlight Staff

Business at Princeton’s Visitors Centre is up dramatically over last year, according to statistics released by the newly-municipally controlled operation. For the month of June the Visitors Centre saw a 22 per cent increase in the number of parties served – 1322 compared to 1025 – and an increase in number of total visitors of 15 per cent, to 2196 from 1858. The Visitors Centre was moved from Highway 3 East to its current downtown location in May, when the Town of Princeton assumed its management.

Councillor Jerome Tjerkstra, who directs the town’s business development portfolio, said the numbers are encouraging. “There may be a variety of factors that have resulted in the increase and we believe moving the Visitors Centre downtown would be one of them,” he told The Spotlight. Tjerkstra said the town has received numerous letters of thanks and congratulations from passing tourists pleased with their Princeton experience. “We’d like to thank the staff of the Visitors Centre for doing a great job and being so welcoming to everyone.”

Community Foundation seeks donors for local charitable fund Spotlight Staff

A regional charity foundation is hoping that the seed money it planted in Princeton will begin to branch out and support local events and groups. By providing matching funds of up to $5,000 – and benefitting from donations from Princeton Rotary, Weyerhaeuser and private citizens – the Community Foundation of the South Okanagan Similkameen has created a local endowment fund of approximately $11,000 to benefit Princeton causes. “All donations made to the Princeton and District Legacy Fund stay in the Princeton and district area,” said Sarah Trudeau, regional development co-ordi-

nator, who urged businesses and fundraising groups to consider donating to the fund. The Princeton Legacy fund is overseen by a local committee, she said. Last year the community foundation – centered in Penticton – reviewed $54,000 in grant applications from the Princeton area. In its 23-year history, the foundation has awarded over $15,000 in grants and scholarships to local groups including the Palliative Care Society and Princeton Rotary Club.

Beginning this summer, and for the next three years, Species at Risk will deliver essential information on BC’s endangered species to the doorsteps of communities around the province. “This is one of the most important conversations British Columbians should be having right now, and yet you don’t hear much about it,” said Gavin Hanke, Curator of Vertebrate Zoology at

the Royal BC Museum. “We’re excited to be spreading the word and starting conversations with BC residents, on the ground, faceto-face, out in the province.” Over 50,000 plants and animals live in BC, more than anywhere else in Canada. But many could soon disappear forever; when we don’t act, threatened species can quickly become endangered – or worse. Over 1,500 species in BC alone are now at risk. Change is happening much too fast and their survival – and ours – depends on the choices we make today. Housed in an inventively modified trailer and accompa-

nied by skilled and personable interpreters, Species at Risk will visit Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland and the Okanagan this summer, setting up shop at summer camps, community museums and other important regional partners. As a legacy component of this initiative, beautifully designed Mini-Museums will be made available to BC schools in the fall, giving students the opportunity to study four notable species at risk through actual specimens and hands-on learning. These MiniMuseums will also be included in the touring exhibition.

fundraising initiatives for charities and schools. By shopping at local stores, you have a hand in supporting these efforts as well. Save money When factoring in travel time and the cost of fuel, shopping locally makes more sense than driving to a faraway mall. In addition, repeat customers who establish a rapport with a local business owner may find that such owners are more inclined to price match or work with loyal customers to find lower prices through suppliers.

Keeps money in the local economy Locally-owned businesses often put a larger share of their revenue back into their communities. Small business owners may be more inclined to employ local residents, giving more people in the community solid employment.

Tourists and other visitors will be much more inclined to remember a local shop rather than a big chain in a particular neighborhood. When travelers want to get a feel for a community, they seek out small, local stores that are much more likely to stock a high percentage of locally-sourced goods.

SO MANY REASONS

TO SHOP LOCAL

Many consumers prefer to buy locally when shopping. There are several advantages to choosing local products, including the benefit of aiding your local economy by supporting a business with roots in your community. Dealing with an individual or small enterprise instead of a billion-dollar operation is another reason people are drawn to local stores and businesses. Spring and summer are great times of year to shop locally, as the warmer weather facilitates strolling community shops and business districts. The following items are popular among consumers who emphasize buying local when making their purchases.

fruits and vegetables shipped from afar might be compromised. The best way to get peakseason produce is to buy items that come from local providers. Home services If you’re in the market for a home renovation, using a local, licensed contractor is often the smart way to go. Rather than dealing with the red tape of a larger outfit that may subcontract its work, local businesses are often more customer-service driven. What’s more, if ever a problem arises, it’s much easier to go into a local business and discuss concerns faceto-face instead of dealing with an unknown person answering phones at a corporate call center. Crafts The home-based arts and crafts industry has undergone a rebirth thanks to sites like Pinterest, Craftsy and Etsy. Many of the items offered in local shops are handmade by local artisans and not mass-produced in overseas factories. Local artisans may be your best bet when shopping for unique arts and crafts full of detail and quality.

Produce If you desire fresher fruits and vegetables, then shopping locally is the way to go. According to Local Harvest, most produce is picked four to seven days before it reaches the supermarket shelves, and it might have traveled thousands of miles before landing on those shelves. A lot of produce is grown and imported from South and Central America, and such produce can take even longer to arrive on supermarket shelves. As a result, the flavor and freshness of

Food Dining out is a different experience when you select independent restaurants over national chains. Chefs at independently owned restaurants have a greater say over ingredients and menu choices than those at franchise establishments, and you may be introduced to foods you had never before dreamed of trying. Restaurants that team up with local food suppliers offer a double-dose of regional commerce and fresher ingredients. If you’re new to the area, browse the local newspaper to find dining establishments in your area. There are numerous benefits to shopping locally and ideal ways to get started in the Lower Similkameen. • MECHANICAL SERVICES • TIRES & SO MUCH MORE...

Greens choose candidate, push for popular vote Steve Kidd Black Press

The Green Party of Canada remains committed to federal politics, with the announcement of a candidate for Central Okanagan-SimilkameenNicola riding on July 11. Robert Mellalieu, a Green Party organizer and IT professional with F1 Computer Services in West Kelowna, was chosen as the riding’s Green candidate for the Oct. 19 election. “There were two candidates: Silverado Socrates from the west side and then there was Robert Mellalieu,” said Dave Cursons, fundraiser for the Green Party riding association. Mellalieu said he is taking a realistic approach to running against incumbent Conservative candidate Dan Albas, NDP challenger Angelique Wood and Liberal Karley Scott. While the Green Party has little chance of gaining more than a few seats nationwide in the next election, Mellalieu said his drive is to give people a choice. “We are not in a sprint, we are in a marathon,” said Mellalieu. “During that marathon, we want to stick to our long-term goals and to our principles. That is one of the big goals.” Then there is the popular vote when the election is over. More people voting Green across the country, showing their support, the more influence Green policies can have on the parties in power. “Although we will not be in power, the pundits at the different parties will see the support,” said Mellalieu. “The Liberals now have pasted some of our policies into their platform.” For himself, Mellalieu said the

environment and corruption in the existing political environment are the big issues, and how other parties change their direction. “They are always looking at the wind vane of the polls and saying, oh yeah, now we agree with that, whereas the Green Party is pretty steadfast in their values and structure,” he said. Mellalieu admits the election is more likely to revolve around issues like jobs and the economy. “The Conservatives seem to have that tied up. They say the oil patch is the final goal, that is our big saviour, is to get as much oil out of the ground as possible when all the statistics say differently,” said Mellalieu. “It’s not that big a part of the economy. Tourism is and we spent no money on tourism advertising in the U.S. last year.” In the South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding, the Greens have yet to declare a candidate. Though he can’t say when they will have an announcement, riding organizer Dan Bouchard said they are planning to field a candidate. “We are actively on the search,” said Bouchard, noting that the new riding boundaries encompass a large area, making the search more difficult. Bouchard, who ran for the Green party in 2008 and 2011, said he remains committed to the party, but won’t be running in this election due to his young family and growing business. Declared candidates for South Okanagan-West Kootenay are Dick Cannings, NDP; Connie Denesiuk, Liberal and Marshall Neufeld, Conservative.

A visit to The Spotlight office turned into a trip down memory lane for Kathleen Spencer last week. Spencer – who now lives is Chase – is the daughter of former publisher Cameron Hooper, who worked at the paper with his wife, who was a typesetter, in the early 1950s. Spencer and her partner Christian Fouchet enjoyed browsing through some of The Spotlight archives.

Naturalists plan gold panning trip including Alfalfa, Prickly Lettuce, Eriogonum, a type of buckwheat plant, Narrow-leaved Collomia, from the phlox family, and Lamb’s-quarters, one of the goosefoot species. Our next field trip will be July 25th, when Peter Antonick will take us hiking and gold-panning along the Similkameen River in the Allenby area. This is traditionally a fishing field trip, but due to the current ban we will pan for gold instead! Call Peter at 295-3640 to confirm participation, and meet at Billy’s parking lot at 9 am with food & water. Please join us!

Vermilion Forks Field Naturalists experienced a change of pace from our recent hikes in the heat, as we embarked on a leisurely stroll in the cool morning air of Saturday, July 11th. Even more refreshing was the sprinkle of raindrops enjoyed by nine of us as we ambled in search of wildflowers and grasses on the property of Tim and Del Hall. Several of us carried our plant identification books with us, but we benefited greatly from the expertise of Maggie Trehearne, local and venerable naturalist.
