Peachland receives new marine rescue boat

Joanne Layh / Peachland View The regional district introduced two new marine rescue boats to its fleet last week, one of which is now located in Peachland. The new boats will ensure the safety of both the public and responding members as the previous boats were old, undersized, and lacked the required stability to operate safely in rough water, according to regional district communications officer Bruce Smith.

“It’s one of two boats we’ve just taken delivery of, the other one being in Lake Country,”

Mayor Keith Fielding told The View at a press conference held at the day wharf last Thursday morning. “Both boats were around 20 years old, the previous ones, so they were long due for replacement. They have, particularly this one, many safety features that the previous boats lacked. It is not only much faster, it has the capability to be much safer for our fire crews, as well. A lot of work has gone into this. I want to congratulate our staff in Peachland Fire and Rescue who have put a lot of time and effort into developing the specs for this and working with the regional district on the tendering pro-

cess, so hats off to them. They’ve really pulled off an excellent deal,” Mayor Fielding said.

The two new boats were supplied to the regional district by Kanter Marine Inc. at a combined cost of $305,100.

Both regional district and Peachland Fire and Rescue Service representatives expressed their gratitude to the Peachland Yacht Club for providing gratis moorage on the lake for the new rescue boat.

Rollover at intersection of Highway 97 and Hardy Street Joanne Layh / Peachland View Two people were sent to hospital and one dog was taken to a veterinary clinic following a three-vehicle crash that happened on the south side of Peachland last Monday afternoon.

According to RCMP Cst. Brown, the crash happened just after noon when a red Volkswagon Jetta travelling

north on Highway 97 stopped to turn left at Hardy Street.

A grey pickup truck following behind the Jetta was not prepared to stop in time and rear-ended the Jetta, causing it to move into oncoming traffic, where it was subsequently hit by a southbound Mercedes SUV. As a result of the crash, the Mercedes rolled over and two people were taken to hospital by ambulance with what are believed to minor injuries, Cst. Brown told The

View.

Cst. Brown said a dog was also taken to the vet with minor injuries.

One driver originated from Osoyoos; another was from Edmonton.

While the highway wasn’t closed due to the accident, alternating traffic slowed traffic through Peachland for almost two hours.

Woman confirmed dead following head-on collision at Trepanier Bench Road and Highway 97 Joanne Layh / Peachland View A 69-year-old Penticton woman is dead following a head-on collision at Highway 97 and Trepanier Bench Road that occurred at 12:06 p.m. last Thursday afternoon.

Highway traffic was closed in both directions and motorists were redirected through Beach Avenue and Huston Road until about 6:30 p.m. following the motor vehicle accident.

According to witnesses on the scene, a red minivan travelling north drifted into oncoming traffic and collided with a semi tractor trailer.

Eyewitness Mike Sutton told The View he was following directly behind the red minivan when the accident happened.

“Basically I was behind the red minivan going north and the minivan just started drifting over to the opposite lane and there was no signal, no brake lights and then it hit the truck. There was no attempt at evasive action,” Sutton said. “It wasn’t like she was trying to pass anybody.

There were no signal lights and

The driver of the semi was apparently uninjured and exited his vehicle to go check if the driver of the other vehicle was okay,

according to witnesses. The female driver of the minivan was declared deceased at the scene.

says the investigation into the crash is in the preliminary stages and the causal factors are not yet known.

New council remuneration review committee to be formed later this year Joanne Layh Peachland View Collectively, elected officials in Peachland earned just over $100,000, while staff wages were above $2.5 million last year, according to the recently released municipal annual report.

Mayor Keith Fielding earned $24,423 while town councillors

each received $13,088 – in all, a total of $102,951.

While council wages have increased to keep up with inflation over the past few years, Peachland council members are only compensated for what is determined to be a part-time job.

Back in November 2011, Peachland council passed a reso-

lution to give mayor and council a two per cent inflation increase in 2012 through to and including 2015, but that means councillors still earn only just over $1,000 per month.

The resolution followed a recommendation brought forward by the council remuneration review committee, which was then chaired by Barb

Director of corporate services Polly Palmer confirmed with The View that a new council remuneration review committee will be formed later this year by members appointed by council.

Peachland’s bylaws require a committee to be appointed during the expiring quarter of council’s term. The purpose of the committee is to make a recommendation to council about what remuneration is appropriate with

consideration to the population of the town, how much elected officials are paid in other communities, and other applicable factors.

The committee must contain three to seven community members and can include a current member of council who is not planning to run in the next election.

Non-unionized staff wages are reviewed on an annual performance and market basis.

In 2013, one fewer district staff member earned over $75,000 compared to the previ-

ous year, and overall staff earned $14,822 less in 2013 than in 2012, primarily due to attrition.

In 2013 the following district staff employees received remuneration exceeding $75,000: • Wayne Marceniuk, water mechanic $79,523; • Shawn Grundy, lead hand, utilities and roads - $81,151; • Cheryl Wiebe, director of community services - $82,186; • Dave Smith, director of development servic-

Including those remaining employees who earned less than $75,000, employee remuneration totalled $2,506,981, while elected official remuneration totalled just $102,951.

Fire causes heavy smoke damage to Somerset home Joanne Layh / Peachland View Three Peachland residents are displaced from their home following a house fire that caused heavy smoke damage on June 25.

Peachland Fire and Rescue Service were called to the scene at 7 p.m. on the 6000 block of Somerset Avenue following a report of

smoke.

“On first arriving, crews on scene saw heavy smoke coming out of the house,” fire chief Dennis Craig said in an interview with The View.

The occupants, a mother and her roommate, had already evacuated the house when fire crews arrived on scene. Paramedics treated the

two occupants at the time for smoke inhalation before they were transported to Kelowna General Hospital for further treatment.

The resident’s son was not at home at the time of the fire.

The fire was discovered when the mother’s roommate went downstairs, spotted smoke, and alerted her to the fire.

“We responded with 14 members and three apparatus,” Craig said. “We were able to confine it to the room of origin, but there was heavy smoke damage throughout the entire structure.”

Craig said crews were in mopup mode by 8 p.m. and remained on fire watch at the scene until midnight.

NEWS

Craig went on to say the residents were taken care of by Emergency Social Support (ESS) for three nights before their insurance policy activated.

The cause of the fire is currently unknown. An investigation by the fire department and the B.C. Electrical Safety Authority remains ongoing.

New rescue boat is ready for action at Peachland Yacht Club Continued from page 1

thanks to the yacht club for their support of that space for the boat, because it makes the response that much faster when it is in the water and doesn’t have to be trailered. And of course, a boat this size is a little more difficult to trailer so we thank Peachland Yacht Club for their support of the marine rescue boat,” Smith said at the press conference.

“Peachland Yacht Club has provided us with a slip to moorage our boat. It’s an extralarge, prime slip. It is imperative that we keep this boat in the water for response times, so we’re incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to be moored in the Peachland Yacht Club,” fire chief Dennis Craig told The View.

Craig went on to say that if they did not have the a slip in the water it would increase response time by about five minutes or so, which makes a big difference when you’re drowning.

“This boat is really going to increase the safety of our members,” Peachland fire chief Dennis Craig said.

Smith says boating is an important part

of the quality of life for many in the Central Okanagan, not to mention its impact on tourism and recreation.

“Transport Canada estimates there are 69,000 registered boats in the region and a recent survey found on a ‘peak’ day, there were more than 1,400 boats on Okanagan Lake,” Smith said.

The marine rescue service provides a variety of rescue services to boaters on Okanagan Lake, Wood Lake and Kalamalka Lake, including: • Search and rescue of victims;

• Response to motor vehicle accidents involving vehicles in the water; • Public safety issues; • Boaters in distress (emergent situations); • Above or in water only (no underwater capability); • Marine evacuation; • E n v i r o n m e n t a l (spill) response and assessment; and • Safety during public events.

Since 2009, the rescue boat in Peachland has handled 85 calls for help on Okanagan Lake from south of Gellatly to the RDCO boundary. In that same time, the Boston Whal-

er vessel located at the Kelowna Yacht Club and operated by the Kelowna Fire Department has responded to 170 distress calls on Okanagan Lake from Gellatly north to the RDCO boundary.

“The Kelowna boat is the busiest boat.

The Peachland boat is the second busi-

est boat for numbers of incidents,” RDCO communications officer Bruce Smith said. “The Peachland boat is also a metre longer and a foot wider because of the nature of the water at this end of the lake.

There is a tendency for there to be more rough conditions and

marine rescues tend to take place often in unsavoury conditions.

When other boaters are heading in, often the marine rescue is going out to assist, so it has to be capable of handling any kind of condition it might face in bad weather.”

The fleet is managed by the Central Okanagan Regional Rescue Program, which has vessels stationed in Kelowna, Lake Country and Peachland.

The program is funded by local governments, though the province reimburses costs when boats are called to respond to an emergency.

The Service Clubs of Peachland Need To Hear From You! Send us your input at okpeachland.com/survey/ The service clubs of Peachland are proud of the work we do and thank the community for their support. To determine how we may better serve our community, several groups including the Lions, Rotary, Legion, Sportsmen, Shriners and Yacht clubs are asking for your input to understand the needs of the community. Your responses should not include any programs or projects that are currently or would normally be undertaken by either the District, the Wellness Centre or the Boys and Girls Club.

We are interested in hearing from all ages, especially young families and the youth of the community.

PEACHLAND VIEWS We think of Peachland as our second home My family and I have been visiting Peachland for the past 10 years for our summer vacation and hadn’t, until now, thought to comment to anyone about our experience. We are a family of four from Dawson Creek and over the past 10 years coming to the Okanagan, our children have been with us each summer.

One is now grown and leaving home and our second, who is 17 and leaving for college next year, will always know Peachland as their favourite summer vacation spot. We’ve spent summers in Colorado, Texas and Hawaii, but we always want to come back to Peachland.

The residents here are very friendly, warm and welcoming to us and we have actually made a few friends here that we’ve met during our daily tennis game.

Continued on page 5

The small town charm, locally owned businesses, great dining and the fantastic beach are what have drawn us (in addition to many, many other features like the walking paths, tennis courts, farmers market, dog beaches, etc.) to consider Peachland as our second home and likely place of retirement.

Our kids, wherever their career paths take them, will undoubtedly look to Peachland as their favourite place to come during the summers as well.

We’ve made a lot of great memories here.

So from my family to the residents and town council, thank you for keeping this community such a wonderful place to visit and we truly look forward to calling Peachland our home someday.

Public invited to provide input in service group survey For years the service clubs of Peachland have relied on intuition and their best judgment in order to develop their programs to service the community.

In the past they have had many projects including providing funding and labour to build Harold’s Walk and the Rotary Pavilion. They have assisted with funding to provide wheelchair access to Lake Okanagan and outdoor fitness equipment in Lambly Park and have purchased many benches and picnic tables for the downtown parks. As well, they have furnished several community kitchens.

In addition, they have been involved in social programs such as providing funding and labour to provide affordable housing, have hosted numerous fishing derbies for the handicapped and bus tours for the seniors. The various service clubs have also provided financial assistance to

numerous youth groups, the food bank, the wellness centre, cops for kids, the bike rodeo, the riding club and summer camps for the handicapped, to name a few.

At this time, several of the service clubs felt it would be beneficial to survey the community to see if there were other pressing needs that are not being met where their involvement might result in improving Peachland.

For instance, most of our physical projects have been in the downtown area, whereas similar projects might benefit the hill communities. Please see our ad on page three and fill out the survey so that we may better serve the community. The actual survey may be picked up and returned to the community centre or may be submitted online.

Eldon Kerbes, Peachland

MOTI to blame for lack of development In his June 27 edition letter, David Winter is right about Peachland needing more development and business, but dead wrong about the Highway 97 Task Force Society’s motivation being mere “noise reduction.”

The reason we have no developers and new businesses moving to Peachland is because the long standing (since 1980) threat of four-laning highway 97 makes business investment and construction impossible along our 11-kilometre waterfront strip. With turning lanes at several intersections, four-laning really means six-laning. Ask any of our city councillors about how many development/business proponents have been turned away by Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure staff who have responded to such developers with “we don’t know” for three decades.

Make no mistake, Mr. Winter, Peachland will one day get either four lanes or a bypass; the status quo is not an option. If we get four lanes, watch our remaining businesses exit as Peachland becomes two zones separated by a freeway.

Peachland must be the only sunny beachfront city in the world with 11 kilometers of stunning lakefront and no hotels for tourists. Hotels translate into tourists who stay and spend, some of whom fall in love with the community, move here and invest. Right now, most of our “tourists” are motorhomers who park on Beach Avenue all day, cook their hotdogs and leave at 4 p.m., all without spending a dime in our community.

Our bypass seeking society has 660 members, which is roughly 15 per cent of the adult population of Peachland. Mr. Winter, if you don’t support a bypass then you really support four-laning. The cost of maintaining existing Highway 97 through town as a local road will be more than offset by additional property tax revenue from new business and development.

Please support our cause by joining our society (send us an email from our website at www.hwy97taskforce.ca).

OPINION | COMMENTARY

Police can’t arbitrarily demand blood, breath or cell phones I am writing in response to a letter published in the June 27 edition of The View, suggesting the police mishandled the investigation regarding a particular motor vehicle accident.

The comments, as printed, indicate the writer doesn’t know much about the rules of evidence, or what constitutes evidence. The police investigated the situation properly

and would no doubt have done more if there were a possibility of doing so.

There is absolutely no provision within the provincial motor vehicle act, the criminal code of Canada, or the charter of rights and freedoms to arbitrarily confiscate a person’s cell phone, or to demand a person provide samples of breath or blood, simply because that person had been

involved in a motor vehicle accident.

There must be a lot more evidence, other than mere suspicion, before any of the above actions can be applied to an investigation.

In this country, accused persons, as well as victims, have rights.

Greg Bell, Peachland

The Canada Day long weekend is my favourite time of the year MP Dan Albas Commentary The Canada Day long weekend is easily my favourite time of year – it is when Canadians from all walks of life join together in celebration of all that we love about our great country.

This Canada Day I was able to attend Canada Day ceremonies and festivities in Okanagan Falls, Penticton, Summerland, Peachland,

West Kelowna, Merritt and Logan Lake. The drive around Okanagan-Coquihalla serves not only as a reminder of what a truly beautiful region we live in but also of the many great people who live here.

In every community I visited, there were many families taking the time to get involved and sharing in all that we love about Canada.

I would also like to thank so many people

for taking the time to offer greetings and for sharing input with me. Hearing directly from people firsthand is some of the most valuable and insightful feedback that I receive, and is part of why each summer I travel around our region as part of my summer listening tour.

For my 2014 summer listening tour I would like to invite citizens, groups and organizations along with

employers to contact my office to arrange a time for a meeting. I find July and August often pass by quickly and I would like to meet with as many citizens as possible.

On the subject of feedback, I would also like to thank the many individuals who have taken the time to express concern on the potential threat from invasive species such as freshwater mussels

to freshwater lakes in our region. These concerns obviously apply to a large amount of lakes throughout British Columbia and the strong concern shown locally is helpful in my work in Ottawa. The need to take proactive action and for all levels of government to work together on this issue is an important one and is an issue that I continue to pursue in Ottawa on a regular basis. I would

Members of the Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Change were delighted to learn that Peachland Elementary students in Mrs. Frey’s Grade 6 class had achieved first place

Mayor Keith Fielding in the Okanagan division of a recent Climate Change Showdown event.

The Climate Change Showdown is designed to build students’ awareness of issues related to global warming, engage them in problem solving discussions and encourage them to become climate change superheroes. As a superhero, their challenge is to find ways that their own family can reduce its carbon footprint, get the family on board, and implement changes that will save energy and reduce its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions.

Designed by the B.C. Sustainable Energy Association, the program involves a classroom

The students are then given a list of possible actions that they or other family members can undertake to reduce their energy consumption and GHG emissions.

Some of the ideas that students take home for discussion apply to us all. They include: • Replacing incandescent light bulbs with energy efficient bulbs; • Checking tire pressures when filling the car with gas; • Making a family meal with at least two locally grown products; • Taking a shorter length shower; • Reducing thermostat settings;

Mayor Keith Fielding Commentary

the growing number of people who take the time to read my weekly reports and offer comments and questions.

Last fall a Summerland resident passed on some concerns over a federal program that was creating challenges in a local sector of our economy. These concerns allowed me

also like to again recognize the work of the Okanagan Basin Water Board in championing this issue to all levels of government and for creating an awareness campaign that citizens can more easily participate in.

This week’s report will be a shorter one for a change, however I would like to thank

• Turning off unnecessary lights and electronics; • Having a car-free day; • Giving an occasional family ‘Earth hour’ – all power off for an hour; and • Doing a cold wash laundry.

The showdown lasts for a four-week period, during which time students remind all family members of actions that can be taken and encourage them to do so. A parent is asked to sign a sheet that shows what actions were taken by the family and this is used to calculate the GHG emissions saved.

Three classes at the Peachland Elementary School participated in workshops and a fourth

held an informal class discussion. In all, 103 students were reached and were encouraged to engage in the program.

A tabulation of the recorded activities shows that in the one month period 3.5 tonnes of GHGs were averted by the school – that being 41.5 tonnes if activities persist over the full year.

When normal school routines resume, the Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Change will invite the students from Mrs. Frey’s Grade 6 class (who will now be moving on to middle school) to join the committee for a pizza party celebration.

forward in Ottawa.

Recently changes were made to the program in question and specific regulatory changes were made that will resolve the previously identified challenges. Without the initial feedback from the individual in Summerland it is possible these changes may not have been made, or not as quickly.

This is not the first time a local citizen has provided input that is helpful for policy related changes and from my perspective this helps to demonstrate the importance of local feedback and questions

from citizens.

It is often pointed out that Canada is a diverse and resourceful country. Canada Day is an important reminder that while our great diversity helps to establish our uniquely Canadian character it is our ability to set aside our differences and work together in building a stronger Canada for all Canadians that is a true legacy of what we celebrate on Canada Day. Thank you for the honour to serve as your elected representative.

DISPATCHES FROM THE FARM

Mr. Muscles is ready to haul your fresh veggies Jordan Marr / Special to the Peachland View June 16: Sometimes I write things in this farm journal I’m keeping for my readers this year that cause my pants to spontaneously combust.

Weirdest thing.

June 17: I graze on fruit and vegetables all day as I work. Due to sheer garden abundance, I’m shamefully wasteful about it. Lettuces are picked, the blanched, succulent centres gnawed out, the remainder tossed aside to feed the soil.

My version of lighting a cigar with a hundred Jordan Marr dollar bill. But, due to time constraints, I’m pretty rough and hasty about it, so I often end up with unintended snacks in my belly.

I’ve ingested a lot of soil this way. And today I ate half a ladybug, which has to be, I don’t know, like five years bad gardening luck. I hadn’t noticed it on the kale leaf I was munching on until its top half was in my belly.

Incidentally, the ladybug’s presence on the kale leaf was likely a strong indicator that the aphids have arrived for the season. A single ladybug can consume 400 aphids a week. The aphids don’t actually ruin my kale crop, but decrease its profitability due to the extra time required to wash them off. Incidentally, did you know that certain species of ants manage aphids in a similar vein to our management of dairy herds?

Google “aphid-ranching ants.” It’s fascinating.

June 22: Colleague Jennay Oliver, ownerfarmer of Paynter’s Fruit Market, gave me a Paynter’s Market t-shirt to wear out and about.

I asked for a medium. This was a tad ambitious.

I put it on and it looks like someone threw grey Saran Wrap over a Jell-O mold. I don’t think this will create the positive associations with her business she intended, so for her sake it’s now a

pyjama top.

June 30: A cringe-worthy email from a new chef customer. I cooperate with a local thespian/ fishmonger to save him some delivery time by carrying his seafood on my delivery route. This is how I met the chef in question. I found out from the monger that one of his staff inquired if I was married. So, when the chef yelled out, “It’s Mr. Muscles!” when I arrived for my next delivery, naturally I thought he had been teasing his employee about her apparent attraction. In a subsequent email offer of veggies to the chef, I added: “And FYI, my girlfriend laughed at the Mr. Muscles designation. She calls me T-Rex because she says I have small arms and shoulders.”

His reply came a few hours later. “Funny. I’ll take one kale, one arugula, one salad. Sorry for the delay. Awkward story though. You know I was referring to the ‘mussels’ you were delivering, right? See you Sat. The ladies in the kitchen will be excited. And I look forward to seeing you too, T-Rex.”

YOUTH NEWS

Boys and girls club welcomes new faces Patricia Barrows Special to the Peachland View The Peachland Boys and Girls Club has been buzzing with activity over the past few weeks. Between offering additional programming during the teachers’ job action, gearing up for summer, and transitioning from preschool and after school programs to full day Patricia Barrows camp programs, June has been a busy month for kids and staff at the club.

Since mid-June, we invited our

preschool and after school programs from Peachland Elementary to the club on Beach Avenue. It was great to be able to introduce more families to our new location and see for themselves that we have the most beautiful club in the Okanagan!

Members in our four-year-old preschool class celebrated their graduation in June. Family members were invited to the club to take part in the celebration, led by teacher Judith, who remarked how wonderful it was to see how much the children had grown and developed in the past year and how excited as she is for their transition to kindergarten.

The end of the preschool year was also bittersweet for families and staff as we said goodbye to Judith, who is moving this summer. For the past year, Judith’s enthusiasm and genuine care for children and families has been an amazing asset to the Peachland club. From engaging story times

and catchy clean up songs to the best Kool-Aid play dough ever, Judith’s preschool classes were filled with never ending learning opportunities and development of strong friendships that will hopefully follow the children through their school years.

While Judith’s outgoing personality and contagious laugh will be irreplaceable, we are confident that our new preschool teacher will be a good fit for club members.

We are excited to welcome two new members to our staff team. Jen, a summer student, will be joining Kerry for our exciting summer recreation programs. A longtime Okanagan resident, Jen is enthusiastic to be involved in club programming and participating in activities with Peachland kids and youth. Kerry and Jen have been working together to plan plenty of impressive and rip roaring fun programs and out trips for our drop in members! Kevin,

who has returned to the Okanagan after teaching English in Taiwan for many years, will be joining Nicole in our summer day camp programs for six - 12-year-olds. His engaging personality and high energy level will ensure that our full day programs are active and fun. Nicole and Kevin have planned a wide variety of lively activities and out trips based around themes including celebrating Canada, flash back to the retro 80s and amazing superheroes weeks!

If you are interested in learning more about the great programs we have planned for the summer or for information on September registrations for preschool or after school programs, call 250-767-2515, email peachland@boysandgirlsclubs.ca or visit us on Facebook or Twitter. Activity calendars can be downloaded from www.boysandgirlsclubs.ca or feel free to come down to check out the club and meet our friendly staff.

COMMUNITY PEACHLAND FALL FAIR

It’s never too soon to think about entering your baking and preserves Lorraine MacTavish Special to the Peachland View The Peachland Fall Fair is in its 95th year and our theme this year is “There’s an Old West Flair at the Peachland Fall Fair.” This year’s fair will take place September 6-7. As the summer months get warmer and your fruit, berries and vegetables ripen, it is never too soon to think about putting up the abundant stock in preparation for not only the winter months, but for entering into the baking and preserve section of the Peachland Fall Fair.

As some of you are aware, I enjoy the challenge of competing against other fine cooks and bakers and each year try to do better than the year before. I “relish” the challenge but I allow me to let you in on the inside scoop, which I have found helped me out over the years.

There are four to six judges who taste every item that is entered (unless the lids cannot be opened or there is spoilage), and the following is the guidelines that the judges use.

Breads, rolls and muffins

The judges look for a well-proportioned, evenly rounded top. Crusts should be about 1/8” thick with uniform browning, and slightly darker on top. Items should be light in weight in proportion to size. The texture should be tender, flaky and not heavy or doughy. Colour should be even and characteristic, with no dark streaks. The grain should have fine cells elongated upward, evenly distributed, with cell walls thin. The flavour should consist of a blend of well-baked ingredients, neither sour, nor tasting of yeast.

Cakes and cookies

Standard cakes should be velvety and light in weight in proportion to amount of ingredients used. Their shape should be symmetrical, slightly rounded on top and free from cracks or peak. The surface should be smooth and uniform golden brown, except in the case of spice or chocolate cakes.

Items should be light in weight in proportion to size. The texture should be tender, with moist crumb and a velvety feel to the

tongue. The grain should be fine, with rounded, evenly distributed cells, free from tunnels.

The colour should be uniform and characteristics of cake. The flavour should be free from pronounced flavour or fat, leavening or flavouring. Remember, no bought mixes are allowed. The judges can tell!

Pastry

Pastry should be flaky, tender and light with an even crust top, fitting evenly and closely to filling. The surface should be flaky and uniform golden brown. Entries should be light in weight in proportion to size. The texture should have a tender elastic crumb, neither dry nor doughy. Flavour should be free from pronounced fat flavour, and the pastry should be evenly cooked on top and bottom.

Jams and marmalades

Appearance of jams will be judged by pack, seal, colour, clearness, and evenness of distribution of fruit. The interior will be judged by texture and flavour. Appearance of jellies will be judged by pack and seal, while

the interior will be judged by texture, colour, clearness and flavour.

Canned fruit, pickles and preserves

Appearance of canned fruit, pickles and preserves will be judged by container, pack, colour of fruit and liquid, and uniformity in shape and size of solids. Interior will be judged by texture and flavour.

Remember, specialty baking entries must include a proof of product used, such as the logo from a bag or box, to qualify.

Now that you know just what the judges are looking for, you can pop in to different businesses around town to pick up the fall fair booklet, or better yet, you can go online to www.peachlandfallfair.ca and take a look at all the different categories you want to enter in.

Entry tags are just 50 cents each for adults and 25 cents each for juniors. There are ribbons to be won, money to put in your pocket and maybe a big trophy and medallion too!

Enjoy your baking and preserving time and we will see you at the fair!

MAKE WATER WORK

Okanagan residents make water work in their yard Judy Steeves Special to the Peachland View Their neighbours were aghast when they scraped away the front lawn and replaced it with 25 yards of sand, 25 yards of peat moss and a pile of big rocks, admits dietician and fibre artist Janet Armstrong of Vernon.

It was 1992 and no one in the Okanagan had even heard of xeriscape.

Her partner, Lloyd Davies, is the passionate gardener. He explains, “Lawns take time, water and energy, so I wanted to look at alternatives. As a science guy, I recognize that we live in a semidesert, so it just made sense.”

“Anyway, flowers are prettier than lawn,” they agree.

A retired Okanagan College biology professor, Davies grew up in Peachland so he knows how naturally dry the valley is, and is familiar with the drought-tolerant plants that grow on the hillsides, outside irrigated yards and farms.

In fact, some of those native plants, including Saskatoons, columbines, bitterroot, balsamroot, nodding onions, chocolate lilies, penstemons and a variety of grasses, have found their way into various corners of their colourful landscape,

surrounding their renovated 1940s-era home.

Today, that xeriscaped front yard is a riot of lush growth and colour that they enjoy year-round from their verandah and windows.

And, other than a little hand-watering in midsummer, they never use the hose on it.

It’s a different matter in their vegetable garden, but it has been built carefully and situated for maximum water retention and sunlight, and much of its moisture comes from rain barrels that catch runoff from the roof at each downspout.

Davies has also built a sturdy complex of compost boxes, filling them with yard and kitchen trimmings, and using the result to fertilize and mulch all his garden beds, conserving natural moisture around each plant in the process.

They planted a drought-tolerant lawn

in back that goes dormant in summer, staying green – but not growing or requiring water. For the few plants that require more water, like the hazelnut tree, dishwater is used to supplement natural

precipitation.

They’ve never put down landscape fabric and they use drip irrigation where they do water, avoiding overhead sprinkling to avoid evaporation and waste.

They’re stellar examples of Okanagan residents who make water work!

With 24 per cent of all Okanagan water used on household lawns and gardens, and less water available per person than anywhere in Canada, valley residents are encouraged to reduce outdoor water use this summer. Take the pledge to Make Water Work at www.

MakeWaterWork.ca and enter to win $5,000 in WaterWise yard upgrades.

Take the pledge to: • Water plants. Not pavement; • Water between dusk and dawn; • Leave lawn 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) tall; • Leave grass clippings as mulch; • Top dress with compost; and • Change out some lawn for drought-tolerant turf and/or native and low-water variety plants.

Make Water Work is an initiative of the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its Okanagan WaterWise program.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Your impulsive nature is apparent this week, Aries. While this nature has often served you well, it’s still a smart move to carefully consider all angles before making any big decisions.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, the goal this week is to find a happy medium where you can help others but remain true to yourself. It may take a little juggling, but you can handle it.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, although you are initially willing to go along with the group’s plans, in the long run you want to set off in your own direction. A few stragglers may join you.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

Cancer, professional obligations may prevent you from spending time with loved ones, but only if you let them. Let higher-ups know where your priorities lie.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

Leo, share your emotions with a friend, especially if the friendship does not seem to be going in the direction you had hoped. Keep the lines of communication open at all times.

SUDOKU

Virgo, you may think your intentions are obvious to others, but sometimes you send mixed signals. You may have to be more concise to achieve your desired results.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Take the high road, Libra. Leading by example has always been your forte, and taking the high road now is a great example to set for those around you.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

It can be quite difficult to keep your cool when you are feeling emotional, Scorpio. Channel any nervous energy you have into a productive project this week.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, you are on a quest for a deep connection. You will not be content with mere friendship, but desire something that is more intimate and meaningful.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

ANSWERS

You are in high demand this week, Capricorn. You have the ability to get things done when others struggle with similar tasks.

Keep up the good work.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Aquarius, you just may find yourself on shaky ground while juggling multiple responsibilities this week. Don’t let the stress of this juggling act get the better of you.

Level: Intermediate

Here’s How It Works - Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, you find yourself faceto-face with your biggest fears this week. Draw on your inner strength and you will conquer any obstacle.

BRADEN KALINSKI (right) was the winner of the largest bass at the Peachland Sportsmen’s Association Family

Fishing Derby, held on Saturday, June 14 at Shannon Lake, West Kelowna. Approximately 125 people attended and over 90 registered to fish. Organizer Al Springer and his helpers untangled lines, put on bait, and weighed and measured the caught fish. Fishing rods, t-shirts and prizes were presented to the children, and attendees enjoyed a barbecue organized

by Mike Molloy.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

Trust in God to make faith bloom and grow in your life Pastor Ed Skutshek Grace Lutheran Church “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6). Many have read these words and confessed, “I don’t have that faith! I try to believe but I can’t figure God out.”

In response to that dilemma, I offer this parable. A senior pastor presented a junior pastor with a stem from a rosebush with two big green rosebuds at the end. The senior pastor gave the following instructions, “My challenge to you is to form the rose bloom that is hidden within this bud, without damaging the petals.”

The junior pastor took the stem and began to pry one of the rosebuds open with his fingers. The bud and the flower within were instantly and irreparably destroyed.

The pastor took the stem back, placed it a glass of water and put it on the windowsill.

He asked his junior to return the next day.

The next day the junior pastor returned.

He immediately went to the window and stared at the twig in the glass of water. The second bud had opened.

The beautiful bright

red rose hidden therein was formed with every petal intact.

The senior pastor admonished his junior with these words, “God created the rosebush, the bud and the flower.

He provided the means by which the flower would emerge from the bud. Faith in God is the same. God is the author and the creator of our faith in Him.” He continued, “As human beings we try to play God. We believe that we can be the author and the creator of our faith in God. We believe that we can make faith bloom and grow in our lives.

When we try to create and author our faith, we will fail. We cannot believe in God or come to Him by our own efforts.”

He went on, “Yet, when we commit the bud to God and follow God’s word, a miracle can happen. God made the following promise through the Prophet Isaiah, ‘As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth. It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it’ (Isaiah 55:10-11). I committed

the branch and the bud to the water. The water made the bud open and the flower emerge.

God’s word is like the water, it can make faith bud and bloom in us.”

The Apostle John disclosed why he wrote his Gospel and the purpose of the Holy Scriptures: “Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (John

20:30-31). God’s word is living and active.

The Holy Spirit works through God’s word and causes faith to bud, bloom and grow.

A faith that God causes to bud and bloom finds concrete expression in works of sacrificial love. God’s word creates compassion within us and Christians reach out and satisfy the needs of others. They offer water, food, clothing, shelter and aid to the needy and stranger (Matthew 25:34-40).

Christians can forgive those who persecute and even kill

them, as St. Stephen did as they stoned him for believing in Jesus.

As he died he asked God, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he fell on his knees and cried out, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them” (Acts 7:59-60).

I have to admit that more often than not, I believe that I am the author and creator of my faith in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I believe I can build it or the next program or Bible study will kindle it in me.

Yet, all God asks me to do is be immersed in His word and let Him

do the rest. I pray you will dive into his word

with me and be transformed.
