Centennial Way project progresses on schedule and in green fashion By Joanne Layh Construction crews have wasted no time in moving ahead on the Centennial Way beachfront pathway project. Storm works including dry wells, catch basins, and piping have for the most part been completed in phase 1, located between 8th Street and 12th Street. Construction of the walkway began on June 21 with a groundbreaking ceremony attended by Minister Stockwell Day, MP and Minister Bill Barisoff, MLA who along with Mayor Keith
Fielding turned some ceremonial sod to mark the construction start. It took only a matter of days before crews were well into tearing up Beach Avenue in phase 1 of the project. Construction crews used an asphalt-reclaiming machine to reduce their carbon footprint during base preparations for the new roadway. “We converted the existing gravel into MOT spec (Ministry of Transportation specification) SGSB (select granular sub-base). That’s something we’ve been working on – the recycling is
a real green initiative. That just saves a whole bunch of greenhouse gas emissions for digging the stuff out, trucking it away, trucking it back, all that kind of stuff,” Cantex Okanagan Construction project manager, Keith Lowenstein said. “We created material that was of no value and turned it into structural material that we could use as sub base of the structure for underneath the curb and gutter, which is what we’ve essentially done on that phase.” Three-inch spec sub base has been put in
along with 6 inches of crushed base material. Other activities, such as the relocation of a fi re hydrant, are also taking place to accommodate the new roadway. Lowenstein says that concrete work for curbing and sidewalks may begin as early as next week. While there have been traffic delays in the construction zone during weekdays, public response has been very positive towards the project. “We’re very impressed with how cooperative and how understanding
people are,” engineer technologist Mirjam Glass said. District staff are reminding people that the beach area along Beach Avenue will remain open all summer. The low, black plastic fencing along Beach Avenue isn’t there to restrict people from accessing the beach. Rather, silt fencing was installed as a protective measure to keep silt materials produced by the construction site from entering the beach area and lake. People can also expect to see some of the existing park benches
removed in order to construct the new pathway. The park benches will be stored in the Public Works yard and returned once construction in that area is complete. The district expects to update their gifting policy in the coming weeks to give people the opportunity to contribute something to the project. The gifting policy would involve donations from the community for things like having a park bench named after a loved one or it might entail providing appropriate plants for the bioswale area.

Deep Creek Bridge has been closed for construction and will remain so likely until August or September. As a result of the construction project, Renfrew Road will also be closed on either side of the bridge until late August. Meanwhile, the district is recommending that people take alternate routes. People
are being asked to use Hardy Street and Highway 97, Renfrew Road/Highway 97 or Heighway Lane/ Princeton Avenue until the bridge re-opens later this summer. The bridge has been in such poor repair that the fire department is currently unable to drive their trucks across it for risk of the bridge collapsing. The District of Peachland budgeted $520,000 for the capital project this year. In the budget briefing to the mayor and council, director of operations, Doug Allin, outlined problems with the condition of the existing bridge: • Noticeable deck deterioration on the deck planks and timber curbs, including a significant diagonal crack extending the full height of the wall under the bridge; • The lack of riprap bank protection in the creek has allowed the current to undermine the wall over time which in turn has allowed for ongoing settlement of the substructure. Erosion and settlement will continue to be a
problem for the unreinforced concrete abutments; and • With future increases in traffic volume and a greater proportion of heavy vehicles, the bridge is reaching a stage where it may no longer meet the needs of the community and will present greater risks in terms of damage under flood conditions. Since some of these findings were presented in a 2007 report by CWMM Consulting Eng Ltd., the district has placed weight restrictions on the bridge, which is why vehicles such as fire trucks cannot pass over it. While the construction will cause a disruption for people, environmental regulations are in place to ensure that salmon spawning areas will be protected. Construction crews will begin the project with the removal of the footings from the creek before they install an arch culvert type bridge. The new bridge has been designed for a life of 75 years and will allow for doublelane traffic.

Chilliwack to headline Dancin’ Barefoot

By Phil Seipp
It’s always amazing how many musical groups from decades past are touring these days. The latest manifestation of this phenomenon is the visit to Peachland on July 17 by Chilliwack, a rock band that made an interesting contribution to Canada’s political life in 1970. Chilliwack will be the headline band in the fourth annual Dancin’ Barefoot outdoor concert at Cousins Park. The late Terry MacGillivray, an Elvis tribute artist, founded Dancin’ Barefoot summer music event in 2007. He wanted to share and encourage entertainers to fulfill their dreams and passions as an artist. In addition, he wanted to have an outdoor concert for all the local talent to be able to perform in their community and for everyone to enjoy a rock-
in’ concert. That same spirit is shared by Bill Henderson, lead singer and original member of Chilliwack, a band that always made a rockin’ good time for many years starting in 1970. In the fall of that year the band was asked to play a benefit concert for a group of activists bent on protesting the underground testing of nuclear weapons. Chilliwack shared the stage with Phil Ochs, James Taylor and Joni Mitchell and the money raised – at $3 a ticket – paid for a fishing boat to sail into Alaskan waters. The protestors challenged the U.S. Navy in a direct action that soon became the hallmark of the group we now know as Greenpeace. In an interview Henderson said he was proud of the set they played that night long ago and that they contributed to
Peachland Sportsmen’s Association
Outdoor Sports Event On July 10, the Peachland Sportsmen’s Association will be hosting an outdoor sports event for the youth of the community. Activities will include trap shooting, archery, fly tying and small bore rifle shooting. This event is for youth ages 10-19 and will include a BBQ and lots of prizes. Pre-registration is required as space is limited. Contact Bethany at bfroelich@ peachlandsportsmens.ca with any questions, or to pre-register.
a worthy cause. He added that he has always tried to be involved and speak out about issues that are important to him and to society. That is reflected in a more recent song the band will play on July 17, “Patent on the Wind,” about the patenting of life forms.
Over the years Chilliwack has seen many changes in its membership but the one constant has always been Henderson. The leader of the band has been one of the main composers of many original songs for the band and has contributed lead vocals on
before you
most of them. The current version got together in 1997 and is made up of Bill’s younger brother, Ed, Jerry Adolphe and Doug Edwards. They manage about 25 shows a year under the Chilliwack name, which Henderson acquired years ago.
Starting at a young age Henderson has been making a living as a musician for about 50 years, not an easy career choice in Canada. He is happy to share the stage with up and coming young talent that for the second year running will be showcased in Dancin’ Barefoot’s Teen Talent Competition. It will begin at 3 p.m. and feature about 15 performers. Each act will be judged “American Idol” style by two local radio DJ’s, a music schoolteacher and a successful musician. Then five local performers will play 45 minute sets starting with Mystic Bowie at 5:15 p.m., followed by Young ‘Uns, John Lee Sanders, Out of Eden, and Sleddogs. Chilliwack will close the show with a two hour set. Advance tickets are available for $20, $25 at the gate, which opens at 2 p.m. Call 250.454.9198 for tickets.

Dismayed at disrepair
Calling all tennis players again
I am dismayed to see that the Edgewater Hotel owners have now opened their restaurant, in addition to the pub, yet they have done nothing to fix up the outside of their establishment. It is in need of repair, painting and general clean up. It’s unfortunate that they are not interested in being good corporate citizens and appear to only be interested in taking our money. My wife and I will not be patronizing this business until such time as they become a good business citizen, and I hope other Peachlanders feel the same way. Don Renoe
Last week I wrote a letter appealing to tennis players to come forward and be counted so that I could approach council with issues pertaining to the tennis courts, and in particular, resurfacing of the courts. I have received some response, however, I know that there are lots more of you out there who enjoy the sport and enjoy our courts. I feel I need a lot more names for the list of tennis players in Peachland if I am to have any chance of being taken seriously by council. Whether you are a player or a parent of a younger player who use these courts, please come forward so that I may get an indication as to whether this is something worth pursuing. Are you running a B&B and have guests who would like to play tennis? If so, you too should come forward to be counted. Are you included in the bunch that has given up on the Peachland courts and now play at Lakeview Heights? This concerns you, too. Having lived here for 10 years, I have come to realize that Peachlanders are passionate about this town, and very vocal about their issues. Am I to take this as “no one is interested�? If that is the case, then so be it and I will not pursue this any further. I do find it hard to believe that there is no interest, as I occasionally have to come back a couple of times during the day to find a court available. I am not asking for you to do anything, nor am I asking for any financial contributions. I will not use your name for any other purpose other than to be counted as one of the many who use this facility. Again, please email me at peachlandtennis@hotmail.com and be counted, otherwise I will have to reconsider whether this is worthwhile pursuing. Maria Dagis

Editor, “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win.� – Gandhi As the first phase of the Fight HST campaign winds down – with 705,643 signatures now delivered to Elections BC – we offer the voters in the Boundary Similkameen and Penticton ridings our sincere thanks for their support. We must also thank the great teams of canvassers in both ridings for their unwavering determination to see the petition succeed. From Christina Lake to Hedley, and Osoyoos to Kaleden and from Naramata to Peachland, we could not have succeeded in collecting the 12,005 signatures in Boundary Similkameen and 11,074 signatures in Penticton without a tremendous team effort. Our gratitude extends to former BC Premier Bill Vander Zalm for uniting the province and organizing such a powerful grassroots movement. His willingness to lead an ideological fight, when it would have been much easier to enjoy life as a private citizen, deserves our respect. Those who dismiss the petitioners as “tax whiners� are clearly missing the point. The Citizen Initiative Petition to End the Harmonized Sales Tax was about more than opposition to a tax shift from business to consumers at the worst possible time. The HST petition was about holding politicians accountable to the voters. The majority of people we saw signing the petition expressed their frustration at the government’s unwillingness to hear them. British Columbians feel betrayed by a dictatorial government for moving ahead with a policy they were not given the mandate to implement. Even if we believe Premier Campbell’s line that they truly had no plans to introduce the HST before voters went to the polls in the last election, why would the government not take the HST to a referendum after the election? And if Campbell expects to sway public opinion in favour of the HST by using lines like, “businesses will pass the savings on to consumers,� or, “the HST will stimulate the economy and create over 100,000 new jobs,� he is also clearly underestimating (or insulting) the intelligence of British Columbians. As British Columbians, the Recall and Initiative Act is our only democratic tool to hold any government accountable to the electorate, and isn’t it sad that we actually had to go through this process in order to send the Liberals a message? Sadder still, if the government continues to ignore the people, it will force us to follow through with recalls on those MLAs who are not standing up for the citizens they were elected to represent. Sincerely, Paul McCavour and Julie Turner Fight HST Regional Organizers, Boundary Similkameen and Penticton

Golf course may be finest in the country WEEKLY COMMENTARY BILL BARISOFF, MLA
passion shown by all of those involved in this exciting expansion. The teams of people involved all know they are building something special, something that is unique and truly one of a kind. In fact the architect tells me that this is one of only a handful of these types of buildings in existence anywhere in the world, and this building will be showcased not just regionally and nationally, but internationally. All this here in Penticton from a campus that not so many years ago our critics tried to suggest we were going to close. Up the valley in Peachland another world-class project is underway, the Ponderosa Golf Course currently under construction under the guidance of legendary PGA golfer Greg Norman. In a few short years this region
This past week I had the opportunity to join Minister Stockwell Day in a tour of our exciting new Penticton Okanagan College expansion project, also known as the Centre for Excellence in Sustainable Building Technologies and Renewable Energy Conservation. The building itself is truly impressive and innovative in far too many ways that can be listed here in this limited space. Likewise to see local wood products from Penticton’s very own Structurlam Industries along with local contractor H&M Excavating. However what impressed me the most about our tour was not so much the building itself, impressive that it is, but rather the immense
will be home to a truly international caliber golf course that may well be on the finest in our country. I know from meeting with many Peachland residents recently there is excitement in the air regarding the potential of this new golf course and the opportunities it will create for the Peachland community. Lastly this week a message to valley commuters…regrettably the weather conditions have slowed down paving on the Summerland Highway 97 expansion project so periodic delays still remain in effect for a new more days. You patience and slowing down to respect the construction zone safety is much appreciated and in the very near future we can soon celebrate the completion of this great project.

Last Peachland presentation of S.S. Beaver Awards
Mayor Fielding and Robert S. Maxwell (centre) with this year’s award recipients. Photo Joanne Layh
By Joanne Layh On July 1, Peachland hosted the S.S. Beaver Awards ceremony for what will likely be the last time. At this year’s ceremony, Peachlander Robert S. Maxwell, the fi rst recipient of the award, passed the remaining 100 medals on to Roger Walker of the Maritime Museum of BC in Victoria. Walker (or his successor), as the new keeper of the medals, will issue only three medals per year for the
next 33 years, with the fi nal award to be presented in 2043. Only 400 Beaver Medals were ever produced. They were struck from copper fittings taken from the S.S. Beaver, an historically significant vessel that dated back to 1836. S.S. Beaver Medal recipients are selected for the contribution they have and continue to make to the country and community in which they live and serve. The selection commit-
tee chooses candidates based on their personal leadersh ip, talent, ability to provide enjoyment to others, and service as a role model to the community. “We acknowledge community service above and beyond normal volunteering,” Robert S. Maxwell told the View, “that

The Beaver Medal symbolizes the recipients’ courage and dedication to the community. It also honours the officers and men of the S.S. Beaver for their historic role in building the province of B.C. Honoured with the award at this year’s Canada Day ceremony were Olive Fielding, MLA Bill Barisoff, Shirley McIntyre, Martha Jenkins, Dan Jenkins, Mark Garner, Dwayne B.

Peachlander Profile Ruby Denis Oltmanns
By Judy Wyper With an endearing Irish lilt to her speech and a mischievous penetrating twinkle in her eye, Ruby Denis Oltmanns is a strong capable woman. Many of you may recognize the name from her numerous yearly successes at Peachland Fall Fairs. The foyer of Ruby’s house displays seven trophies from different years as Total Grand Aggregate Winner (the person who racked up the greatest number of points from entering so many exhibits). In 2009 she won seven trophies. Fruits and Vegetables are her specialty! Bookshelves hold piles of winner’s plaques from previous years. Ruby grew up in Ireland, became an obstetrics nurse, and fi rst practiced in England. She fondly remembers assisting a delivery of triplets. It was twenty minutes to midnight and time for the births. The mother wanted the babies born on the same day, so with a team of doctors, specialists, and nurses, it was ac-
much like her mother, with a well-developed artistic flair. Many of
Masters at Tokyo University, and completed his Doctorate at the
you know her, as each year she comes to Peachland to volunteer in the Baking and Preserves section of the Fall Fair. Gerald, Ruby’s son, received a scholarship to attend Harvard, another to study for his
University of California, Berkeley. He is currently a well-respected cancer researcher at Boston University School of Medicine. Online it says his research has promising applications to the treatment of non-Hodg-
kin’s lymphoma. Last summer Gerald was in Peachland with his wife Maureen and seven-year old son Finn, and they served and cooked at a big outdoor barbeque for Ruby’s friends and neighbours. The wraparound deck has peaceful views of the lake and mountains, as well as the neighbour’s horses and cattle. Fruit trees yielding cherries, peaches, apples, apricots, and plums are growing on her oneacre property. Amongst these are grapes, raspberries, shrubs, flowers and a large vegetable plot that Ruby has nurtured for twenty years. “Dad was a gardener, and he tended acres and acres of potatoes and vegetables. I used to help him, because I liked it so much. It was easy to start gardening when we moved here. I enjoy growing food.� “I enjoy supporting the Fall Fair. I like the camaraderie and friendship of all those who participate and the challenge of competing. You never know who else is entering, so you just do the best you can. I look
at the new brochure each year, and read what the categories are and what they ask for, and then I plan what I will enter.� Ruby met Arne Oltmanns through a mutual friend, Cleo Clermont, who suggested that they meet since they both enjoy dancing. Their fi rst date was to one of the dinner dances at the Peachland Seniors Centre. They were married and spent eight wonderful years together until Arne suddenly passed away two years ago. Until then, they travelled extensively to Ireland, Holland, and Australia, also taking numerous cruises and sightseeing bus trips. While I visited with Ruby, I was impressed by the gentle humble wisdom that life’s experiences have developed in Ruby. She touched my heart with her stories, and I came to a deeper appreciation for who she is and what she stands for. Her children are so very blessed to have her as their Mother. Peachland is a richer place because she lives here.

complished in a timely fashion. Ruby has a picture of herself holding three beautiful healthy babies. In 1952 Ruby moved to Canada and settled in Quebec. She immediately began nursing at Montreal General Hospital, became head nurse after a few weeks, and nursing supervisor soon afterward. Ruby frequently returned to visit family in Ireland, and was happy when trans-Atlantic fl ights became cheaper than the one-week long trips by ship. Married, Ruby moved to Calgary in 1953 and eventually left nursing to raise two children. When her husband retired, they moved to Peachland. “Peachland is a wonderful place to live. We had old friends living here, and one day when my husband and I were visiting, they told us about a house that was for sale, we looked at it, and decided to move. We thought it was beautiful here.� Corrine, Ruby’s daughter, lives and works in Calgary. She is a skilled individual,

Shirley Blanche Phillips
FOR SALE
1937 – 2010 Shirley passed away peacefully with her family at her side on Thursday, April 15th, 2010. She was Michael’s beloved wife of 52 years and adored mother of Todd and Dustan Phillips. Shirley will be lovingly remembered and missed by her daughter-in-laws Lauree and Christine Phillips, her three grandchildren, Justin, Zachary and Lexie and her brother Bill Davis of Brandon, Manitoba. She was predeceased by her parents, Meredith and Eva Davis and sister Georgina Scott. Shirley was born August 3rd, 1937 in Brandon Hills, Manitoba. As a young girl her life’s love of sewing, knitting and cooking came at an early age. As a result, she was an accomplished seamstress with many of her needlework designs achieving awards at the local Winter Fair. Later in her retirement, she lovingly crafted and donated baby bonnets and booties for sick infants in the hospital. She was known for her cooking and famous for baking pies that were out of this world! Shirley was a true people person and loved getting together with friends and family, whether it was throwing backyard pool parties and barbecues, going on camping trips with the neighbors, or attending the Wheat King Booster club dances. Shirley was an avid bowler too with Thursday nights reserved for the ladies 10 pin bowling league and Saturday nights for watching Hockey Night in Canada. Throughout her marriage she lovingly and unselfishly devoted herself to her family in so many ways. She volunteered for school functions, lovingly crafted family photo albums and scrapbooks and created a home full of warmth and love that she made welcome to all. Upon their retirement, Shirley and Mike moved to Peachland, British Columbia where they were embraced by a wonderful community of new friends, many of whom became a part of the Phillips family. Shirley loved the beautiful view of the Okanagan Lake, the serenity of sitting on the deck on a sunny day and sipping tea. Shirley was especially looking forward to this summer’s family get together with her grandchildren. With unwavering faith, Shirley was an active, life time member of Trinity United Church in Brandon and was Past President of the UCW. Upon retiring to Peachland, both Shirley and Mike became active in the Peachland United Church with Shirley continuing her work as President of the UCW. She also enjoyed volunteering and knitting for the church’s Bargain Bin. One of her greatest accomplishments was found in her quiet and courageous battle with cancer, one that lasted for over 24 years. She never gave up, never complained and always had hope. Her faith in God was unwavering and she found comfort and peace through prayer. Her kindness and strength of spirit touched all that knew her and it is these genuine and sincere qualities that will live with us always. She always thought of others before herself. She was a loving wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and friend. Her smile, laughter and warm heart resonated with all that knew her. She will be missed and loved forever. The Phillips family would like to thank all the doctors and nurses at Kelowna General Hospital and the Kelowna Hospice House for their unwavering support, kindness and care of Shirley. We would also like to thank the wonderful neighbors and community of Peachland for your strength, encouragement and support. A special thanks to Lillian McLeod for her thoughts, prayers and support for the family during this very difficult and trying time. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made directly to Kelowna Hospice House, Kelowna General Hospital or the Peachland United Church. Funeral service to be held July 19th at 2:30 pm, Peachland United Church.

Food For the Soul When new never gets old There is much controversy in the World Cup over the new and improved soccer, I mean football ball, (that was a mouthful), which some say is difficult to handle since it is too perfectly symmetrical to fly straight. Whether that is true or just an excuse for a poor shot, pass or missed save, I do not know, but I do know that there will be changes in the next World Cup. People are always looking for change, for the new and improved, but it is not likely to
satisfy. My father, who grew up in Scotland, was an absolute soccer nut. It was his religion. He lived and breathed soccer, and had me as a boy playing and practicing it every day. I am saying that he used to be a soccer fanatic, but he is one no more. His passion for the game has worn off, and he is not at all impressed with the new and improved. He abhors the defensive game that soccer has become and likens it to a chess
match with a rare bit of excitement to break up the monotony. He told me that he is more into hockey right now, but I anticipate that will wear off too. What my dad does not yet realize is that true happiness and joy cannot be found in the things of the world where the new quickly becomes old and boring and the pursuit for another new never ends and never satisfies. I am new to Peachland and my wife and I are delighted to be minis-
tering here, but I know there will come a time when I too will be old, when people will tire of my appearance and my voice. Therefore the greatest thing I can do while I am here is to direct people to the place where things never get old. And where is that place besides heaven? It is in the Word of God in the Bible. Have you been having a bad day? A bad year? A bad life? Have the clouds of despair been surrounding you? Has
Pastor John Rankin, eachland Baptist Churc Peachland Church
your body been racked with pain and suffering? Has your strength disappeared? Are you at the end of your rope? There is hope and it is in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord is good to those who wait for Him to those souls who seek Him. Even in their most difficult times, they will be encouraged and renewed every morning. Lamentations 3:22 says, “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning.” Soccer teams fail, banks fail, economies fail, businesses fail, governments fail, programs fail, our friends fail, we fail, but the wonderful love of God never fails. It’s the only guarantee that will last forever, and what an encouragement that is when we are going through difficulties. We will not be consumed or driven to despair because our faith is in Jesus knowing that He is a good and loving God and full of mercy and forgiveness, so unlike many of us. Several of the top soccer players in the world hung their head in shame after a poor performance and their teammates could barely look at them. Many play-
ers and teams were highly criticized for not winning. One spectator said that the French team better not come back to France for a while. One moment you can be on top of the world so to speak and then in the dog house in another, one moment a hero and in another moment a goat and an outcast. Thankfully God does not treat us that way, but is loving and merciful even in our affl ictions and failures. Though He does not ignore our moral failures, He lovingly corrects them. What a comfort to know that when all else fails us, He never will for great is His faithfulness. He is always true to His Word and not like people who are shifting sand. Do I get excited about soccer or hockey or things like that? Not really, though I do appreciate some skill and athleticism. But even more than that, I love good sportsmanship. Does my dad get excited about games and sports or any new thing? No, unfortunately he is at an age and stage where boredom is measured by the clock. It goes on and on until it tics its last tock. It is too bad he does not yet know the excitement and joy found in the Lord Jesus Christ who is the giver of life, a new spiritual life that never gets old or tiresome, but is new every morning from now throughout eternity. If you want to know more about this new life in Christ I would be glad to help you.
