B.C. Liberal Dan Ashton was victorious in taking the Penticton seat in what turned out to be a surprise Liberal majority last Tuesday night.

“It is an honour to be elected and to represent the citizens of the entire region,” Ashton told The View in an interview following his victory. “One of the things I would like to ask for is if we can get the riding name changed from Penticton

Lachlan McLeod took second place in the beginner/intermediate category in the Okanagan Street League Series competition

held at Peachland Skate Park last Saturday. First place in the beginner/intermediate category went to Cole Kowalski; Kevin Ramsay took first place in the pro category. The competition followed the skate park’s official grand opening ceremony, which included a welcome message from Mayor Fielding.

Peachland skaters still have time to practice up for the following upcoming competitions in the series: June 21 (International Go Skateboard Day) at the Penticton Skate Park and July 21 at Ben Lee Park in Kelowna. For more information about the series contact Freeride Boardshop.

to Penticton-Peachland or Peachland-Penticton.

I think it would be more representative of the area.”

Ashton says as soon as he’s sworn in he’ll be representing the citizens of the area to the best of his ability in Victoria.

“I’m taking forward what was brought to me in the election process – Peachland seniors housing, the highway bypass study, and the Penticton patient care tower … each individual area has some specific issues that need to be addressed and I’ll be hitting the ground running with them.”

The Penticton mayor was elected with 45.83 per cent of votes. In the 2009 B.C. general election, the Liberals won the Penticton riding with 43.96 per cent of votes.

Without a Green Party candidate running in the riding this year, the NDP were able to pick up 1,894 extra votes, but it wasn’t enough to take them to victory - a story that played out similarly across much of the province last Tuesday.

Prior to the election, the Penticton seat was held by Liberal MLA Bill Barisoff. After serving as an MLA in the area for 17 years, Barisoff announced last year he would not be seeking re-election in 2013.

Ashton will step down as Mayor of Penticton to serve as the riding’s new MLA.

Highlights of the May 9 regional board meeting Contributed Sustainable transportation partnership

Emergency mutual aid agreement

The regional board has given approval to a new inter-municipal partnership that will coordinate a regional delivery of sustainable transportation programs and projects. Earlier this year, local governments gave their approval to a memorandum of understanding indicating their participation in the sustainable transportation partnership.

The goals of the partnership are to establish unified region-wide policies and strategic plans for all modes of transportation, improve responsiveness and accountability, reduce costs and improve efficiencies on transportation issues and provide a collective voice to communicate regional transportation initiatives to senior levels of government.

The regional board has approved regional district participation in a Central Okanagan emergency mutual aid agreement. All fire departments in the region have signed onto this fiveyear agreement that allows the provision of and cost recovery for emergency resources, when requested by another participating fire department. It replaces the previous agreement signed in 2008 and reflects the current costs of providing various fire equipment and services.

SPCA agreement renewed

The regional board has approved renewing a memorandum of understanding with the SPCA. The threeyear agreement sees the society provide shelter and education services and a spay and neuter program for cats and dogs, as well as adopting out dogs that haven’t been claimed by their owners from the RDCO dog pound. The regional district provides

$67,000 a year to the society for those services.

Service reviews committee report

In 2012, the District of West Kelowna requested the regional board conduct an informal review of regional district services from which the municipality wished to withdraw. A committee has completed its review and provided several recommendations, which the regional board has adopted.

Following adoption of the appropriate amending bylaws effective December 31 this year, the regional district will no longer provide enforcement of the noxious weed and insect control services to the municipality. In addition, a request will be made to the sustainable transportation partnership to assume responsibility for the regional district’s air quality program. Through the sustainable transportation partnership, the City of Kelowna and District of West Kelowna will no longer be part of the

RDCO transportation demand management service. The partnership will assume this service at the City of Kelowna. As well, the regional board has also endorsed participation of all partners in funding the operation and programs provided by the Economic Development Commission.

Regional board meetings

Regional district meetings take place at the regional district office located at 1450 KLO Road, Kelowna in the Woodhaven board room. Residents are welcome to attend.

• Monday, May 27 at 7 p.m.; and • Thursday, June 13 – following the 8:30 a.m. governance and services committee meeting.

Polls schmolls!

Peachland View

– To attack suddenly and without warning from a concealed place.

From Old French embuschier, to ambush.

I

t used to be that pollsters were fairly accurate in being able to predict the outcome of an election in this country.

Not so, anymore.

If the results of the 2013 general election surprised you, you weren’t alone. Throughout the election campaign, most experts were predicting a significant NDP win.

At the beginning of the campaign, pollsters had the NDP leading the Liberals by nearly 20 points.

According to a poll taken by Ipsos Reid just one day before B.C. re-elected a Liberal government, the NDP were leading by a whopping 8 points.

Over and over again we heard it was Adrian Dix’s election to lose.

And lose he did.

However, no big issues came out of nowhere to sway voters away at the last minute.

So what happened?

How the Liberals managed to defeat the NDP and win a majority government on Tuesday is anyone’s guess, but one thing is certain: the pollsters got it wrong.

But it wasn’t just here in B.C. that the pollsters were out to lunch. Public opinion research experts have been way off in their predictions in the last three provincial elections. Last year, polling in the Quebec and Alberta elections was similarly askew.

Remember how the Wild Rose Party was going to sweep Alberta?

And then they didn’t.

Remember how the 2010 Calgary mayoral race was too close to call between Ric McIver and Barb Higgins? It was too close to call, all right: Naheed Nenshi won it with a nearly eight per cent lead.

How are pollsters contacting the public? Do they make random phone calls to prospective voters? That might have worked in the past, but I would guess that most voters under the age of thirty have abandoned land lines in favour of cell phones.

If the polling experts are to regain the trust of the public, and prove that their industry is based on fact, they need to figure out what they’re doing wrong and fix it.

Peachland Views Princeton sidewalk preferred below Ellison stretch On Monday morning I encountered a surveyor, contracted by the engineering department of the municipality, surveying between Turner Avenue and Ellison Avenue for a sidewalk.

There is existing blacktop from below the Ellison corner to the public works yard on the lake side of the highway, which is demarcated with a white line.

Though some of it is a bit narrow and could be widened by shifting concrete barriers back, it is in good shape and good for walkers, joggers, bikers, skateboarders and the occasional wheelchair user.

This is the section where the council wants to put a sidewalk. If built like the one on Turner Avenue, it will not even reach Ellison, according to the surveyor, for the $377,000 taxpayer dollars.

If they widen and redo it, it could reach Gummow, however, if they started below Ellison, perhaps we could reach Lipsett or even part way to Somerset.

I walk or bike Princeton year round and it was obvious to me at the committee of the whole meeting today that most council members present (with the exception of Cindy Fortin) were unfamiliar with the area and streets we were discussing.

The mayor stated he wanted to continue the side-

walk from Turner Avenue down on the bank side of Princeton, which could require ditch and storm water upgrading according to the surveyor. He also stated he wanted it to continue on the same side. Does he also want to change the walk then all the way to the works yard?

This is not a permanent fix because at some time in the future Princeton Avenue needs to be upgraded.

If they want the most sidewalk for the money, they should continue to pave below Ellison, which will be better for snow plowing and ease of access for the core group of us who use it daily.

If you need input into the most dangerous sections of Princeton, I would challenge the council to walk it.

I hope Peachlanders will have some input into where we want Princeton Avenue improved with sidewalks (blacktop) and not squander $377,000 on work already existing.

At the end, the council decided to not push this through and agreed to discuss it at another meeting.

I hope there are others out there who feel as strongly as I do regarding this and will now be aware of what is happening.

Study compares MP verbiage MP Dan Albas

Commentary

This week the focus across Canada will be on British Columbia as the provincial general election will have occurred by the time you read my weekly report. At the time of my writing, the election outcome is unknown, however one thing I can guarantee is that there will be no shortage of pundits, media and interest groups speculating on what the election results mean for British Columbians. As it happens, this is also a constituency week for the House of Commons as the House resumes session next Tuesday, May 21.

In spite of this being a constituency week, an interesting report was released by a non-partisan organization that studies political participation in Canada. This particular report looked at the House of Commons and studied 54 days of discussion within the House in an effort to analyze which MPs spoke the most. From a demographic standpoint the results were interesting.

MPs under 35 years of age represent 9 per cent of the House composition but spoke for 11 per cent of total time during the 54 days studied, while 89 per cent of the discussion was dominated by the remaining 91 per cent of MPs who are over 35.

From a gender perspective, female MPs currently make up 25 per cent of the House and spoke just in excess of 30 per cent of the time period under study. From a political perspective the parties speaking times were listed as NDP 44 per cent, Conservative 36 per cent, Liberal 16 per cent, Green 2 per cent and Bloc Quebecois 1 per cent.

During this same period of time my own content in this study was listed at just over 6,000 words spoken in the House of Commons. This put me ahead of Justin Trudeau at 5,400 words but well behind Tom Mulcair, who as opposition leader spoke some 44,000 words in this time frame.

The focus of this study is solely on words spoken and does not take into account parliamentary committee work nor does it take into consideration those who have introduced private members bills or motions in the context of words spoken, however the results do indicate those who have a preference for talking.

From my own perspective my focus is more on listening - it is why I do my annual summer listening tour and why I make a point of retuning phone calls and attending meetings. In my view, people deserve to be heard and as elected representatives listening to others is how we better understand the concerns of Canadians.

Leaving kids or pets in vehicles could be disastrous Mike rieger

Peachland View

The heat wave over the week of May 5 led to a spike in reports of dogs left in cars–but more disturbing have been the reports of small children left in cars.

“[Recently,] the Kelowna RCMP have fielded several of the usual complaints of dogs left in cars,” said Cst. Kris Clark, media relations officer.

“Unfortunately, they have also responded to at least a couple situations where a child was left inside the sweltering heat.”

“Animals and small children don’t always have the ability to escape the vehicle or cope with the heat for long, so no amount of time left in a vehicle is appropriate. It is never okay to leave kids or pets in a car, even with the windows down.”

The RCMP ask that you

plan your trip according to the needs of your child or pet’s health and safety, and if you need to make a “quick stop,” to take your child with you, even if it means getting them out of their car seat.

The Kelowna RCMP have a duty to report incidents involving chil-

Dispatches from the farm: The angst of the wifelady Jordan Marr

sPecial to the Peachland View

One thing that keeps my ego in check (when involuntary spit-talking and food in my beard just aren’t enough) is the frequency with which people get my name wrong. People usually go with Jason, though at my very first chamber of commerce event a couple of years back, the event’s coordinator chose Jonathan. “Jonathan, in just a minute I’m going to introduce you to the group and you can talk about your farm,” she informed me. Awkwardly, I told her that, while I love how Jonathan rolls off the tongue, it wasn’t what brought me in for lunch.

She apologized, then promptly turned around, called for quiet, and made her announcement. “Jonathan will now talk about his farm, everyone.” I went with it. Jonathan did a great job, and even sold a veggie subscription that night. Being the grateful sort, I offered to buy him a couple of beers for his efforts. He had about four. It turns out that Jon-Jon is a bit of a lush.

This sort of mistake doesn’t bother me. People can call me Mary if they’re willing to buy some of our produce. My three brothers do anyway, whether

they’re buying veg or not.

What consumes me a lot more is the title I or others should use when describing how I make my living.

You’d think it’s straightforward. Primarily, I grow vegetables. So, I’m a gardener, right? That one is

Jordan Marr a bit problematic. Because of its strong association with backyard recreation, it can be too ambiguous to effectively imply what I do. In Britain, the title of market gardener is wellknown and quite apt.

Here, it tends to elicit a lot of confused looks. Ditto with horticulturalist. Agriculturalist? Too stuffy and self-important. Husbandman? My feminist partner would slap me. Wifelady?

I’m not that secure.

So how about plain old veggie grower? Simple!

Concise! Here’s where I ruin everything by objecting that I don’t just grow veggies. On this farm, we have an orchard. We grow

hay; we care for a couple of horses and manage a few acres of forest. Previously we’ve had bees and goats here. Elsewhere, I’ve produced beef and eggs.

My ego is big enough that this matters to me.

Well, how about farmer then? What’s wrong with that, Jason? Actually, not much, when I’m talking to civilians (that’s what we wifeladies call you city folk). The problem with farmer is that it’s a focal point for insecurities and petty rivalries within my industry. Rather than rally around the things we have in common, our country’s dwindling population of agriculturalists squabble over who’s got more credibility. That sheep producer over there is not a real farmer because her income doesn’t depend on it. That wheat grower?

He’s not a farmer. He’s too reliant on corporate chemicals. And Justin?

Don’t get me started on Justin. He grows veggies on less than two acres in Peachland. That ain’t farming.

I would assume that this is just another example of my neuroses at work, only I know I’m not the only one thinking about this.

When I moved to the region I met a veteran veggie grower who, like me, came from an urban upbringing. He was surprised to

hear me refer to myself as a farmer. For him it was about experience and skill.

“I grew veggies for 20 years before I felt justified using that title,” he told me.

Fine then. I guess that makes me a farmie, which is the new title I suggest we use to describe a farmer with training wheels.

Hope to see you all this weekend; we’ll have a stall at the Penticton Farmie’s Market.

WORLD OF WHEELS

16th Annual Show & Shine Sunday, May 19, 2013

16th annual World of Wheels rolls into town this Sunday Contributed Six blocks and two parks along Beach Avenue will be awash in shiny chrome this Sunday at the annual World of Wheels event.

Pedestrians will be able to enjoy the valley’s best antique and classic cars from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This year there have been more than 500 cars entered, and over 10,000 people are expected to attend, making the show one of the largest in the

B.C. interior.

“Our goal is to have a simple car show in the best location anywhere,” said Pam Cunningham, board chair of the World of Wheels Committee.

Realtor Roger Cyr will fund two passenger buses to bring spectators to the show. Passengers can board the shuttle at Clements Avenue and Highway 97, alongside the Peachland Village Mall.

Riders

are encouraged to make a monetary donation to the Peachland Food Bank. “ Pe a ch l a n d residents and businesses are awesome when it comes to World of Wheels,” said Cunningham.

“They give up their town for the day, but they do so enthusiastically.”

For those who wish to enter their cars into the show, pre-registration is open at www.peachlandworldofwheels.ca, where entrants can print out a registration form

and drop it off at the Visitor Information Centre on Beach Avenue.

Registration will also take place on the morning of the show until 10:30 a.m. at both entrances.

Entrants are invited to a pancake breakfast sponsored by the Peachland Lions Club.

Other attractions will include a bouncy castle for the kids, food and merchandise vendors, and limited edition tshirts. Sponsor boards will be set up at both ends of the show.

During that time there will be one-way, emergency access northbound through the downtown core via Waldo Way.

“Because of the sheer volume of entries, we encourage everyone to stay away from downtown Peachland with their personal vehicles,” said Cunningham. “By 11 a.m., there simply will not be any parking available.”

World of Wheels 16th Annual Show & Shine Sunday, May 19, 2013

Car shows are a trip down memory lane JiM CarPenter

sPecial to the Peachland View

Peachland’s World of Wheels has grown from a small show started years ago by Al Weibe to the massive event we have today. Peachland’s lovely lakeside provides a fabulous setting for such an event and even accommodates vintage boats!

Early in the morning hundreds of vehicles of all types will begin to arrive.

There are always Model A Fords restored to exactly the way they were originally built in the late 20s and often some that have been updated with lots of chrome and modern powerful engines.

Corvettes are bound to be plentiful as well. Did

you know the Corvette body has been made from fibreglass ever since the Corvette was created in 1953? In 1955 Ford began selling its sporty two-seater Thunderbird to compete in with the Corvette. While Corvettes have always been produced as a two-seater sporty model, the Thunderbird shed its sports car image with the addition of a back seat and large trunk in the early 1960s.

While there are always Model A Fords, Corvettes and Thunderbirds there could be few seldom seen Austin, Opel, or Vaux-

halls for variety.

Car shows are always a trip down memory lane and combined with all the enthusiasm Peachland has for this show we expect yet another great event.

CollectorsAutoSupply.com of Peachland has been supplying collector car parts and tires worldwide for 25 years and as one of the World of Wheels sponsors we are fascinated by the variety of people and vehicles that come to Peachland from far and near each year for this event. I look forward to seeing you there.

Preparing your boat for water Clean, drain, and dry to help prevent the introduction of invasive species into our waters As the days gradually become longer and warmer, pleasant summer afternoons spent boating on beautiful Lake Okanagan are finally here. To make sure that your vessel is ready to hit the water, it’s a good idea to begin dewinterizing your boat now if you haven’t already done so.

To help reduce your chances of being stranded alone in the middle of the lake with boat troubles, it is worth taking the time to clean and inspect your vessel at the start of the season and then follow up with some simple routine maintenance.

To some, it might seem unnecessary to give your

boat a thorough cleaning before putting it in a vast body of water, but there are a few reasons why you’ll want to make the effort.

First and foremost, it is essential to clean, drain and dry your boat thoroughly after removing your boat from water or before transporting your boat in order to prevent the introduction

Stay safe and legal out on the water with life jackets for the whole family, even the dog, boat safety kits, paddles, flares, ropes and fenders.

Break a windshield latch or bimini clip? Lose a gas cap? We have all the odds and ends you could ever need for your boat.

of invasive species such as zebra or quagga mussels into our lakes and rivers.

Zebra mussels have already taken over many lakes and rivers in North America and biologists estimate the cost of an Okanagan invasion at $43 million a year.

Last year the B.C. government amended its controlled alien species regulations. Failure to clean mussels off boats or equipment can result in a fine of up to $100,000.

Cleaning the hull to make sure it’s clear of marine growth, grass and barnacles will also reduce fuel consumption, which will save you money and help to reduce your carbon footprint. But don’t stop there when it comes to being sensitive to the environment. It is important to

Zebra MuSSeLS remember that many creatures call the lake home, so be sure to do any maintenance or repairs on land to prevent any contamination of the water from grease, oil or other toxic substances.

When cleaning your boat, avoid using harmful chemical cleaners and opt instead for natural cleaning agents such as vinegar or baking soda to minimize your impact on marine life. Once you’ve cleaned your boat, apply a generous coat of wax to protect the surface

and keep it looking new.

Your personal safety is important, too. Before you set out for the first time this spring, conduct a thorough inspection of the boat to make sure it will operate reliably on the water.

A logical place to start is with your fluids. Inspect your battery water level and transmission fluid.

Check your fuel system.

Top off the tank, change the fuel filter and check to make See PREPARING on page 11

Staying safe on the water Of the approximately 180 Canadians who die every year in boating incidents, nearly 90 per cent were not wearing a lifejacket or personal floatation device (PFD).

As a boat operator, making sure that you have the required safety equipment on board at the start of the season is one of the most important things you can do to reduce your chances of becoming a statistic.

To help ensure your boating season is safe and uneventful, take an inventory of your safety equipment and make sure you have everything that is legally required for your boat before you head out.

All boats are required to carry certain types of safety equipment when

out on the water. While the exact requirements vary depending on the size and type of vessel you’re operating, there is one thing that every boat operator must have on board - a lifejacket or personal flotation device (PFD).

You’ll need to have one Canadian approved lifejacket or PFD of the appropriate size for each person on board.

If you’re not sure if your equipment meets current standards, check with a local outdoor adventure merchant who can help you upgrade, if needed.

Of course, a lifejacket doesn’t do much good unless someone is wearing it, and it’s even less useful if in a moment of

need it cannot be found.

For maximum effectiveness, make sure everyone is wearing a lifejacket or PFD at all times, especially in smaller boats.

There are plenty of smart looking lifejackets on the market now, if style is a factor for you.

The Office of Boating Safety (OBS) also requires boat operators to have various types of other safety equipment on board depending on the size and type of vessel, such as visual signals or navigation equipment.

To find out more about specific safety requirements for various boat sizes and types, visit the Transport Canada website at tc.gc.ca and follow the links to boating safety.

sure the hoses did not become brittle and crack over winter. Check your oil and if it needs changing, you may as well change your oil filter while you’re at it.

If you drained the cooling system before winter, fill it back up, again checking all of the hoses for cracks.

You might also want to tighten all the belts and connections and buy a fresh set of spark plugs to keep your boat in tip top condition.

The above are general things that apply to most boats, but specific maintenance requirements vary depending on the type of boat you have, so it is always best to consult your manual or a knowledgeable boat mechanic.

Besides the boat itself, there are a few other considerations you won’t want to forget about, such as obtaining a Pleasure Craft Operator Card and boat registration if you have not already done so.

You’ll also want to survey the contents of your boat to make sure you have all the appropriate safety gear and equipment required to comply with B.C. boating regulations. You might believe that nothing will ever happen to you, but it is a good idea to check your first aid kit and replenish any supplies, just in case.

Once you’ve finished dewinterized your boat, all there is left to do is wait for the weather to warm up again!

When you’re out on the water this summer, don’t forget that wearing a lifejacket or personal floatation device (PFD) is the single most important thing you can do to ensure a safe boating experience.

In Canada, there are three approved types of lifejackets to choose from – safety of life at sea (SOLAS) lifejackets, standard type lifejackets, and small vessel lifejackets. However, not all lifejackets are approved for all sizes of people or types of boats, so be sure that you have the appropriate safety device before you invite anyone on board.

SOLAS lifejackets offer the highest performance

standard of all lifejackets, are approved for all vessels and can turn you on your back in seconds, even if you are unconscious.

Standard type lifejackets are approved for all vessels (except SOLAS vessels), and can turn you on your back, though possibly more slowly.

Small vessel lifejackets are approved for small vessels only. Another drawback is that they offer less flotation than standard type lifejackets and their turn performance is also slower.

If you operate a pleasure craft, you also have the option of choosing a PFD instead of a lifejacket. If you operate at high

speeds, look for a PFD with three or more chest belts for security and if you operate in cold water (water less than 15°C) consider choosing one with some thermal protection.

However, while PFDs can be more comfortable than lifejackets, they also

offer less floatation and provide limited turning capacity, so choose carefully.

If you’re not sure which lifejacket or PFD is right for you, ask a local outdoor adventure merchant for advice or visit the Transport Canada website at tc.gc.ca.

Admittedly, I don’t have a will. People laugh when I say this. I make a living drafting wills but I do not have one myself. I assure you, there is a very good reason for this.

I have a spouse and no children. If I die intestate (without a will), legislation decides who will inherit my estate. In British Columbia, this legislation is (currently) the Estate Administration Act. It says that if I die intestate and without children, my entire estate goes to my spouse. If I had children, the case would be different (and I would certainly have a will).

So what if my husband and I die in a common

accident? I’m still not worried. To determine who inherits our estate, the Survivorship and the Presumption of Death Act applies. This interesting piece of legislation says that when two people die in a common accident and it is impossible to tell who dies first, law assumes that the youngest outlived the oldest. So this means that I would be presumed the survivor of my husband and I (who is older than me).

So where does this leave our estate? Well, since my husband’s estate would pass to me entirely (since he died first according to law), the estate will pass through my bloodline –

not his. His family would receive nothing. Instead, the Estate Administration Act says that an estate of someone who dies without a will, leaving no spouse or children, goes entirely to that person’s parents in equal shares.

That works just fine for me and my husband, since my family contributed to our estate (not because I dislike my in-laws!).

I don’t need a will to pass my estate to my parents – it would go there anyway. The main benefit to me having a will at this point would be to appoint an executor.

In March 2014 this will all change. Both pieces of legislation mentioned

herein will be abolished. I will suddenly need a will if we want our estate going to my family. There will be many other important changes to wills legislation.

The important point here is that having a will is not always necessary.

Talk to a notary or lawyer if you have any questions about the applicability of wills legislation to your estate.

Sunday, May 19 is Pentecost. It is when the Christian church celebrates its birthday. 50 days after the resurrection, the disciples were gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Jewish feast of Weeks, also known as Pentecost.

During this festival the Jewish people celebrated the giving of the law by Moses at Mount Sinai. The second chapter of the Book of Acts declares that a large crowd was gathered in Jerusalem. A great wind arose and a miracle occurred. Flames of fire appeared on the heads of the disciples. The flames burned brightly but did not harm a hair on the disciples’ heads.

The flames that burned but did not consume point back to the third chapter of Exodus. God had appeared to Moses in the flames of a bush that did not burn. The Jews there would have recognized God’s holy presence in the flames of fire.

The disciples began to speak in many and various languages. The disciples were simple Jewish men. They were not fluent in the world’s languages. Jews from various parts of the world began to recognize that the disciples

were speaking languages from the four corners of the world. They also began to recognize that the disciples were praising God in all these different languages.

The disciples’ miraculous proclamation of praise pointed to the second chapter of the Book of Joel. Joel promised that one day God would pour His holy spirit on men and women and they would praise God and speak the truth in God’s name. For all who had eyes to see and ears to hear, God’s power and presence were manifest in the flames of fire and words of praise that flowed from the disciples’ lips. However, there was much more in the disciple’s praise of God in many tongues and languages.

The eleventh chapter of the Book of Genesis describes the account of the Tower of Babel.

When Noah, his family and the animals left the ark, God gave them all a command. They were all to go out, be fruitful and multiply and fill the whole earth. The human population began to mushroom. All people spoke one language.

They did not want to follow God’s command.

They resolved to stay together. So they built a city and a tower as a sign and symbol of their unity of purpose.

God was dismayed at their attitude. So He

confused their speech.

That is, in a miraculous demonstration of power, God implanted new languages in the people who sought human unity in the city and tower of Babel. Linguistic differences made communication and cooperation impossible. People were forced apart. They spread all over the world, not as a positive response to God’s command, but as a dire consequence of the disobedience of God’s word.

The existence of a multitude of languages has been a curse for humanity. Communication was instantly made more difficult. Differences in language were added to the long list of human characteristics that we use to draw the lines that divide us.

However, soon after God had dispersed people throughout the world, God made a promise to Abraham to bless the all the people of the earth, through one of Abraham’s descendants.

On the first Pentecost, God began to reverse the curse of language.

He wanted all the people of the world to know that Jesus Christ had come to be a blessing to the world. God took the many and various languages of the world and used them to announce to their speakers that God had saved them through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.

The language that was a curse from God became a blessing to them when the name of Jesus and his salvation was communicated to them.

Every believing Jew with eyes to see and ears to hear was given unequivocal evidence that God wanted to move into the world and speak lovingly to all His children in the language He had given them. God invited the people on the first Pentecost not only to listen to Him but also to praise Him and pray to him in our native tongues.

Peachland Players to present Explore options at the Noel Coward production PWC’s wellness circle Rhoda Weisgarber

special to the peachland view

The Peachland Players’ next play will be Blithe Spirit by Noel Coward.

Rehearsals are well under way and the production will be put on May 23, 24 and 25 at 8 p.m., in addition to a matinee performance on May 26 at 2 p.m.

Blithe Spirit is full of interesting characters; there’s Charles, who is a successful novelist and Ruth is his charming, strong-willed wife. The play follows the couple as they invite a medium to their home to perform a séance. In this performance, Madame Arcati is a humorous shyster.

Come and enjoy a delightful play. Tickets are

$10 for adults or $5 for students. Tickets are available at Peachland Pharmacy and the UPS Store in West Kelowna.

Additional tickets will be sold at the door, if available.

The Friday show can include a theatre and dinner package at the Gasthaus on the Lake Restaurant for $35. Tickets are available at the restaurant.

Recreation Report: Made in Peachland summer!

Help your child develop a healthy lifestyle with swim lessons this summer Cheryl Wiebe

special to the peachland view

With record-breaking temperatures last week, it is easy to think that summer is just around the corner! It’s time to consider planning for those long, leisurely, hot summer days.

Help your child develop a healthy lifestyle through swimming at Peachland’s own Swim Bay! Your child will learn to swim and stay safe in a fun environment that promotes a personal best and celebrates individual success. Our small class sizes in the beautiful Okanagan Lake make it a unique “made in Peachland” experience.

Offering the Red Cross swim program, children in the beginner levels will focus on getting comfortable in the water, water safety and will learn progressions that will lead to stroke development in the higher levels.

As the children progress, they will learn both competitive and survival strokes while building their distance and speed.

Children will also learn about making safe decisions in, on and around the water.

All levels of Red Cross preschool and Swim Kids are offered with programs running in two-week blocks from 10 a.m. 12:30 p.m. daily: • July 8 - 19; • July 22 - August 2; and • August 12 - 23.

Perhaps you have always wanted to learn to swim or develop your own strokes. There are a variety of programs for adults too. Last summer sev-

eral adults took the leap of faith to learn how to swim. From “Adult Learn to Swim” to “Swim Fit”, we have an adult program just right for you. Youth 16 years of age and over are also welcome to join the adult programs.

Youth and adults are also encouraged to take part in our lifesaving programs. Anyone interested in becoming a lifeguard will need to take both Bronze Medallion and Bronze Cross. Bronze Medallion will be offered from August 6 - 9 and Bronze Cross will be offered August 19 - 23.

Summer is a month away; register today by calling 250-767-2133.

SPECIAL TO THE PEACHLAND VIEW

The wellness circle has been a Wednesday program at the Peachland Wellness Centre (PWC) for several years.

The current facilitator is Alice Mumm. Mumm arranges a variety of informative and dynamic speakers on interesting health areas. These sessions provide information on topics such as nutrition, relaxation and alternative therapies. Some of the recent topics were chiropractic, body talk, salt, acupuncture, organic gardening with Jordan Marr, and fermented foods.

Please register for our weekly “what’s happening” emails to find out who is speaking each week. These sessions do not provide medical advice and we urge

participants to contact their physicians before starting any alternative treatments. Each week there is a different topic, lively discussion, probing questions, exchange of opinions, and food for thought.

“The program facilitates exposure and knowledge on a variety of health and wellness topics in a safe and comfortable environment. The open environment encourages friendship and camaraderie between participants,” Wellness Centre volunteer Peggy Worobetz says.

“From my first contact with the PWC through programs coordinator Wendy Howard to my time spent volunteering as a facilitator and board member, I am proud to be a part of the movement that is the Wellness Centre. I see people striving to

encompass and involve others through friendship and caring and the strong desire of everyone at the PWC to deliver quality services and programs to the community.”

Once a month the circle is cancelled during the week we hold the monthly speaker series presentation.

We invite people to attend the next presentation on Tuesday, May 21 at 1:30 p.m. at the Peachland Little Schoolhouse.

Kami Johnson of the Arthritis Society will be speaking on exercise and arthritis. This promises to be an informative and useful talk.
