Joanne Layh / Peachland View While the regional district currently lacks a long-term strategy to manage biosolid materials from the Regional Westside Wastewater Treatment Plant, one thing is certain: in the short-term it is going to cost Westsiders $300,000 more this year than was originally anticipated. Earlier this month the Regional District of the Central Okanagan (RDCO) adopted an amendment to the 2014-2018 financial plan affecting the Regional Westside Wastewater Treatment Plant due to an unbudgeted cost of approximately

$300,000 plus related overhead costs. The unbudgeted costs resulted when the RDCO’s plan to distribute the biosolids up at Brenda Mines fell through due to Interior Health concerns about the impact it might have on Peachland’s watershed. Back on April 25, in a letter to district staff, Interior Health stated they have advised RDCO not to proceed with the land application plan, citing concerns about the safety of Peachland’s water supply. Last November, RDCO manager of environmental services Peter Rotheisler told Peachland council the multi-million dollar water treatment

plant already on site at Brenda Mines offers unique environmental control in that it treats water from the site before it heads into Trepanier Creek, thus protecting Peachland’s drinking water source from any contamination. However, comments by Interior Health on the matter were far less optimistic. “Interior Health has reviewed the land application plan for applying Class B biosolids to [the] Brenda Mines site,” Interior Health environmental health officer Anita Ely wrote in a letter to See BIOSOLIDS on page 3

Naked zipliners raise just under $4,000 for breast cancer research Joanne Layh Peachland View On June 19, women took it on themselves to take it all off for the fourth annual Bare In The Air event at ZipZone Adventures. The zip naked fundraising event began in 2011 when eight women from the SS Rodeo roller derby team raised $1,500 for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation by ziplining naked to show support for a fellow teammate. In 2012 ZipZone opened up the event to all women and over the last three years has raised over $40,000 for breast can-

the things for me that I particularly find very satisfying is when you start to hear women’s stories. They’re either there to support a loved one who’s had cancer or they’ve had cancer themselves. A lot of them, particularly when they’ve had surgeries and stuff, they’re baring it all. They’re feeling very vulnerable and we give them an opportunity to sort of face that vulnerability in a safe environment. I think a lot of women are

PEACHLAND COMMUNITY ARTS COUNCIL (PCAC) treasurer Deb Livingstone, PCAC president Crystal Davidson, Peachland Chamber of Commerce president Dave Collins, Mayor Keith Fielding,

chamber board member Wolfgang Muhs and chamber manager Patrick Van Minsel (left to right) participated in a signing agreement ceremony outside the Historic Primary School last Thursday. A new agreement between the district and the chamber paved the way for an agreement between the chamber and the arts council that will see the PCAC take occupancy of the Mary Smith Hall for the new Peachland Art Gallery.

Biosolids will cost Westside $300,000 more than anticipated Continued from page 1

district staff. “The attached letter has been sent to the Regional District of Central Okanagan directing not to proceed with the land application plan, citing potential risks to drinking water downstream from the site.” Ely went on to say that Interior Health has determined that the treatment and management of biosolids deposited at the Brenda Mines site cannot adequately ensure that the drinking water downstream is protected if an extreme weather event occurs. As a result of Interior Health’s decision, biosolid materials will have to continue to be trucked to Clinton, B.C., which will cost $300,000 more this year than it would to distribute them somewhere closer. The $300,000 additional cost will be shared by West Kelowna, Westbank First Nation and Peachland. The Peachland portion of the $300,000 additional cost is estimated to be about $30,000. However, the exact amount will be determined by flow, RDCO communications and intergovernmental affairs officer Bruce Smith said in an interview with The View. “It’s how much each

municipality sends to the plant for treatment.” “We have approximately 1,000 people on sewer so that’s roughly $30 per homeowner,” Mayor Keith Fielding said at last Tuesday’s council meeting. “The financial plan at the regional district was amended to approve the extra funds that will be associated with not dumping at Brenda Mines. I think it was excellent that Interior Health Authority took a very strong position saying that it would be in fact dangerous to locate it at Brenda Mines. The next stage in this is not simply to take it to Clinton, but to send out a request for proposals for a stable, long-term solution to this. There are lots of options there that involve new high tech opportunities and it will be interesting to see what that RFP brings in.” Currently, approximately five loads of biosolid materials are trucked to Clinton every week. “Basically what it is, is we’re asking any governments or agencies or companies that have an interest in providing long-term options for managing biosolids to come forward and let us know and we’ll go from there,” Smith said. “In the expression of inter-

est, there are actually no limitations being put on what we’re looking for. We’re asking anyone with any kind of ideas on how we can manage the long-term management of our biosolids to come forward and let us know. We’re not closing the door on any kind of option. We’re looking for every kind of option to see what’s available.” Until its closure in July 2010, the biosolids were disposed of at the Westside Landfill. For about six months after that, some of the biosolids were buried in the Glenmore Landfill in Kelowna before they began to be trucked to Clinton instead.

For several years the biosolids were also used to reclaim Ministry of Transportation gravel pits that were created for the Okanagan Connector, Highway 97-C. Last year regional waste staff told district council the initial plan was to move forward with using multiple sites within Westbank First Nation forest land, but that plan was abruptly cancelled last summer. Rotheisler told the committee of the whole that the Westbank First Nation did not support the spreading of biosolids in the community forest because it impacted their ability

to gather berries on the site. Smith says the results of the expression of interest will likely come before the regional board later this year. “When we do have information it will be going to the Wastewater Treatment Plant

stakeholder committee and then if there is anything further that will come out of that, which I presume it will, there will likely be a report to the board for discussion and consideration,” Smith said. The committee has staff and elected of-

ficial representation from Peachland, Westbank First Nation, and West Kelowna. The RDCO’s expression of interest closes on July 3. The next scheduled stakeholder committee meeting will take place in September.

PEACHLAND VIEWS Did the RCMP check for distraction or impairment? Continued on page 5

Re: “Mother and child injured in head-on highway collision” (Peachland View, June 13, 2014) Let’s see if I have this right. The driver was a 26-year-old Victoria man. He moved into the other oncoming lane, sideswiped a car then ran head-on into a car with a mother and child. He gets a violation for failing to keep right.

My God, if this is not a violation of the victims’ rights I don’t know what is. Did the RCMP confiscate his cell phone to check for texts or calls? Did they take a blood sample to check for alcohol or drugs in his system? If not, this is a miscarriage of justice for the victims. Mike Polvere, Peachland

Peachland is starving from lack of growth and imagination Even after we lost a curling rink, the insurance company jumped ship and we lost our only financial institution, we even lost a simple, straightforward redevelopment of a single ugly downtown block. Look around, people. How many boarded-up, unsaleable buildings will it take before you folks open your eyes to the fact that your favourite village, the one you claim to love, is on its deathbed? No need for a coroner. No need for an autopsy. It will be death by starvation. Peachland is starving from lack of growth, lack of vision and a fatal lack of imagination. Peachland’s fathers and mothers marched off to war so there would be a future here. Peachland’s children hunker down behind the drapes, frightened even of progress, deathly scared of a fourstory building. But the Highway 97 Task Force Society would have B.C. taxpayers build a major road right through our watershed, or as they clearly state,

anywhere but “not in my back yard.” Moreover, and never mentioned, they would have local taxpayers take on the additional burden of maintaining and upgrading a large part of the present, obsolete Highway 97 and its narrow 50-year-old bridges because if you think that the B.C. government is going to fund this useless new highway and continue to look after the old one, then you have another think coming. It would be interesting to see a map with pins showing where these noisemakers live. It would be interesting to see where they work. If they work. Because if it’s “road noise” that bothers them, I would remind those few that 4,500 or more tax-paying residents of Peachland have no issues with that, and we don’t want to lose what is already just the bare bones of a town just so you can put out a basket of flowers and call it progress. David Winter, Peachland

This is exactly the standard for local representation In response to Mr. Robinson’s query: “Is this the standard we want for local representation?” (Peachland View, June 20, 2014) I fully understand the disappointment Mr. Robinson felt for his wife when the increase in funding proposal was turned down and while I appreciate that he supports her, I don’t believe it should be at the expense of Councillors Fortin or Kerbes. He states that he attended his first Committee of the Whole (COTW) meeting on June 10 – herein may lie the problem. This issue has been ongoing since Feb. 25. Since many people are not able to attend these meetings, our district has provided us with an opportunity to keep informed of our local issues through the online archived live webcasts. This is user friendly – simply go to www.peachland.ca and click on “Webcasting of Council & COTW Meetings” on the left. The meetings to watch are the COTW ones – this is where the issues are debated. If you don’t have access to a computer, our library allows free internet access of up to one hour per day on designated computers. I would encourage all Peachlanders to utilize this service, particularly in light of this being an election year, and take the time to listen to the full debates on these issues. You may be surprised at what you learn. In regards to Mr. Robinson’s statement that both Councillor Fortin’s and

Councillor Kerbes’ comments exhibit a clear, personal bias against the organization, I would suggest he watch the webcasts of those meetings again. At one meeting, Councillor Fortin stated that she believes both the Peachland Chamber of Commerce and Peachland Visitor Centre are very important components of our community. The issue that Councillor Fortin had at the last meeting was the fact that the chamber of commerce would be receiving their previously agreed upon grant of almost $50,000 to operate the visitor centre but were cutting the hours of operation by more than half – to be open for five months of the year rather than year round as they had previously committed to. Councillor Kerbes stated that while he has always been a supporter of the chamber of commerce, recent behaviours were causing concern for him and questioned whether the chamber exhibited due diligence in ascertaining the dollars they would need to provide the services they committed to. So in answer to your question, Mr. Robinson: yes, this is exactly the standard I want for local representation. I want councillors who take their jobs seriously, pay attention to where my tax dollars are being spent, and educate themselves about the issues and question accordingly. Janet Hornseth, Peachland

OPINION | COMMENTARY

Chamber has a broader mandate than special interest A recent opinion in The View labelled the chamber as merely a special interest group. So of course I must take the opportunity to highlight the importance of a chamber of commerce to a community. In addition to being a significant local demographic of Peachland population, the chamber represents the voice of business, being comprised of a communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prominent business owners, professionals, tradespeople, entrepreneurs, service groups and others. That voice of business is heard by all levels of government in developing policy. Why? The strength of economic conditions drives tax revenues, which assist all levels of government to provide the services demanded of taxpayers. This is critically important to government. Businesses of all shapes and sizes are on the front lines of economic activity and see firsthand the effect all laws have on their business, so their voice is critically important in developing policy that helps improve economic conditions. See www.bcchamber.org for many examples of policies recommend by the chamber to government. Your Peachland Chamber of Commerce, as the voice of business in Peachland, belongs to a much larger chamber community as a member of the BC Chamber of Commerce and

the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. Often we complain that the only time we are heard as voters is election time. I have some welcome news! The chamber is one broad organization that continually dialogues with government to affect economic policy. This is democracy in action, as it is meant to be. As a member of the chamber, you are encouraged to continually dialogue with your fellow members and executive as a policy advocate, for the betterment of your business and your community. Those policies move upward to higher levels at the chamber and result in annual policy recommendations, many of which become ultimately become legislation. Take advantage of this ongoing opportunity, and be heard; keep those ideas moving forward. At the next annual BC Chamber roundtable, we want to table your ideas for change. As a chamber member, your continued role in our societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s democratic process is something you can be proud of! Dave Collins, Peachland President, Peachland Chamber of Commerce

Recent changes to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program MP Dan Albas Commentary This past week the government announced significant changes to many classifications within the temporary foreign worker program (TFWP). Reaction to these changes has been diverse and includes comments that range from suggesting the changes do not go far enough to suggestions the changes, in many cases, are so significant that they amount to the phasing out of the program. As is often the case in areas of complex regulation, there is some misunderstanding in that some aspects of the program have been far more significantly changed than others. There are also unique considerations that apply in some classifications and do not apply in others. The limited space in this report does not make it possible to itemize all of the changes; however I will pass on a few examples based on questions that are commonly asked. One of the issues that is still being debated in some quarters is the question of whether changes to the temporary foreign worker program are required. On this point, I have certainly heard from some employers who have expressed views on the importance of the TFWP; however I have also met with unemployed workers and families of unemployed workers unable to secure a job. By the numbers, the total use of the TFW program was just over 48,500 temporary foreign workers in 2002 and has grown every year up to 2009, where the program peaked at just over 142,000 foreign workers, and as of 2013 is close to 127,000. For a further breakdown of the 2013 numbers, close to 17,000 were livein caregivers and close to 28,000 were in the seasonal agricultural worker program, combined with a further 40,000 workers in other low-skilled labour categories. In total, low-skilled TFW program use accounted for roughly 85,000 workers compared to just under 42,000 temporary foreign workers in the high-skilled categories. What changes are being proposed under the new regulations? Some categories, such as the livein caregiver program, will remain unchanged. However, for other programs, the former Labour Market Opinion (LMO) will now be expanded into a Labor Market

Impact Assessment (LMIA). The LMIA process requires an employer to submit how many Canadians applied for the job in question, in turn how many Canadian applicants were interviewed, and the reasons why those Canadians were not hired. In addition, employers are also required to acknowledge new rules that prohibit Canadians from being laid-off or having hours reduced at a worksite employing temporary foreign workers. Other changes to the TFW program include a ten per cent cap limit on the number of temporary foreign workers that an employer can use as a percentage of the workforce. Existing employers currently over this limit will be granted a transition period to adjust. Another change in the TFW program is that certain classifications of employment will be subject to local unemployment rates as part of the TFW application process. There are a number of conditions that apply, however if the annual unemployment rate is over six per cent in a specific region for a job classification, the employer may be prevented from accessing the TFW program. For employers who are successful in receiving approval for using a temporary foreign worker in the low wage categories, the duration of the permit will be one year shortened from the existing two year expiry date. This report is only a brief summary of some of the many changes to the temporary foreign worker program. Many of the changes not mentioned in this report are specific and unique to various employers within our local economies. For the past week I have been hearing from many business owners about these changes. It should also be pointed out that the application fee for an LMIA is now set at $1,000 compared to $250 for the former LMO. These are significant increases for many business owners who do use the program, although these new fees are established to recover the administrative costs of operating the temporary foreign worker program so that it is funded by those who use the TFW program and not subsidized by taxpayers or other businesses who do not use the program.

COMMUNITY BUSINESS NEWS

Chamber members are invited to take part in highway study Dave Collins / Special to the Peachland View

Business Survey - Highway 97 bypass economic impact survey

Chamber members are invited to participate in an important study. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the District of Peachland have initiated a study to assess the social and economic impacts of potential highway improvements. Davies Transportation Consulting Inc. has been engaged to complete this work. The study area is the last section of two-lane highway in the central portion of the Okanagan valley corridor between Penticton and Armstrong. The two scenar-

ios for road improvement between Greata Ranch (south of Peachland) to the Drought Hill interchange (north of Peachland) are: • Four lane existing Highway 97; or • Construction of a new highline by-pass. Members will be contacted by email with a unique web URL link to the study. The study will take up to 20 minutes to complete. Your insights will help the study team gauge the potential economic response of businesses in the area in light of current trends and route options. This is critically important for all members to participate, to have their voice heard.

Welcome to the Peachland Community Arts Council!

We look forward to helping our new Historic Primary School roommate settle in and get comfortable as they begin work to establish and create the new Peachland Art Gallery in the Mary Smith Hall. The chamber looks forward to their continued growth and success!

Call for volunteers

The chamber has different volunteer opportunities available. If you are looking to volunteer and make a rewarding contribution to activities in your town, please contact any member

of the board of directors or the chamber office.

Business After Hours

The next Business After Hours event will take place in the form of a barbecue on Monday, July 7 from 5:30 p.m. onwards. Coldwell Banker and Odina Skovgaard Notary Public will host this year’s first Business After Hours networking event in front of their offices. Come on out and enjoy burgers and sliders with all the fixings and say “hi” to other members. Pot luck items will be welcomed. No speeches, just a lot of networking with members and friends.

Family bat count event to take place on Canada Day children of all ages. Younger children enjoy the experience of learning how to use a hand held tally counter while practicing number recognition and randomly calling out as the bats appear. Older children are paired with adults in teams of two or three for accuracy. Team totals are determined by taking the average of the counters. Two teams are designated per exit point of the bats: two dormers at the front of the building and two vents at the back of the building. The teams’ averages are recorded as the official count per location on the building, with the

sum of all comprising the official count. If it sounds confusing, leave the averaging to organizers but give a try with the tally counters. A family bat count event is scheduled for Canada Day. This fun event will begin at 9 p.m. prior to the fireworks. Meet in front of the primary school building, bring a lawn chair and receive a certificate as a participant in the Peachland Canada Day Bat Count. The next provincial count will take place on July 22. Registrations for counters are being accepted at the Peachland Visitor Centre.

Rose Show took place several years ago at the Peachland Little Schoolhouse. For the second year in a row the event was held at the Peachland Community Centre to accommodate a larger display and increased participation.

As in previous years, entries were judged by Danielle and Malcolm Scott, who have international experience in exhibiting and judging roses. The show was sponsored by the Sowers and Growers Garden Club, who donated the trophies and plaques for the event. Garden club vice president Phyllis Papineau said they were once again very pleased with the

show’s success. “Attendance was steady all day. The tea was fabulous. Overall everybody just thoroughly enjoyed it,” Papineau told The View. Papineau estimates that over 370 people attended last weekend’s rose show event. “Some of the categories had a lot more entries. The judges said they do hope next year more people will

People really loved the tea because of the china teacups and the pink tablecloths with the beautiful floral arrangements.” The top winners of this year’s Peachland Rose Show are as follows:

Berkeley Stuart Special to the Peachland View Anyone who wandered into the Peachland Community Centre during the weekend of June 7 - 8 was privileged to have their senses wowed by the prolific beauty and intricacy of three years of work produced by the Pincushion Quilt Guild and several members of the Peachland Quilt Guild. A small donation and a signature in the guest book provided entrance to the quilt show in the main gym. The colourful display included large and small traditional quilts, machine embroidered quilts, contemporary quilts and wall hangings, seasonal items, table and handbag accessories, a new fibre arts section of wall decorations, along with great rug hooking,

sized quilt, baby quilt or iPad bag (all made by guild members) were on sale just inside the door, and the draw was held on Sunday afternoon. Betty Schisler from West Kelowna won the first prize quilt. Sharon Caprarie-Melville, also from West Kelowna, won the ABC baby quilt, and Dianne Weeks from Pincushion Guild won the iPad bag. Most of the small heart themed quilts, which had been displayed at the Hearts Festival in February, were up for silent auction in one corner of the room. There was one stop shopping in the centre also, with the inclusion of six quilt shop vendors from the Okanagan valley region displaying their beautiful merchandise in the banquet hall and up on the stage. It was hard to resist browsing through their wares every break I had! Inspiration can occur anywhere, right?

The next quilt show favourite could be made from that batch of fat quarters and embellishment packet that I picked up on Sunday! Speaking of favourites, viewer’s choice ballots were available at the admissions table and picking a favorite for each of the five categories proved difficult, even daunting to a few, who dropped off empty ballots with the comment that they could not choose among so many pretty items. The ballots that were submitted were carefully counted and the winners of the five categories are: • Bed Quilt: Saturn’s Orbit, Expanded by Rita MacDonnell; • Wall Hangings: Daily Catch by Rita MacDonnell; • Accessories: Joan Gibson’s Green and Black Placemats; • Seasonal: tie between Brenda Bennett’s Away in a Manger and Doreen Jensen’s Haunted House; and • Fibre Arts: Looking Forward by Rita MacDonnell. Our overall winner was Rita MacDonnell for her emotionally evocative fibre art quilt entitled Looking Forward, which was the runaway favourite of the show. People who were enjoying the show could ponder their voting choices while they relaxed at the lovely bistro and were served delicious sandwiches and sweets with a cup of coffee or tea by the “bistro babes.” Several

visitors to the show must also have been inspired, because the waiting list

for Pincushion Guild membership expanded by five names!

FAITH | COMMUNITY FOOD FOR THE SOUL

Moon takes on a new glow Dorothy Brotherton Peachland Baptist Church Summertime. Part of its magic is long evenings in dusky light that lazily fades to black, when we linger outdoors and watch stars come out and the moon rise. Since 1969, we can’t look at the moon without thinking, “We were there.” We actually walked on that disc hanging in the sky. Well, Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong did it for us, two human pioneers into space. They walked out of Apollo 11’s lunar module, stepped on the face of the moon, and changed history. If we are old enough, we remember where we were and what we were doing that day, and probably details about what they did on the moon’s surface. We can still hear in our mind’s ear the exact inflection as Armstrong spoke back to earth, “One small step for man. One giant leap for mankind.” Recently I learned something I’d never heard before about what happened that day. Months after, Buzz Aldrin wrote about it in Guideposts magazine. Eric Metaxas interviewed Aldrin a few years later, confirmed the story, and retold it in his book, Everything You Always Wanted To Know About God (But Were Afraid To Ask). Now the story circulates on the internet and the watchdog, Snopes, verifies it’s true. What happened was this: Aldrin took communion on the moon. He’d been serving as an elder at his Presbyterian church in Texas, and wanted to mark his visit to the moon – if it succeeded – in some special way. He took a small communion wafer and a small vial of communion grape juice on that historic trip. He took them out of Earth’s orbit and landed with them on the face of the moon. The famous “one step” words were spoken and a few moments

later Aldrin made this statement: “This is the LM (lunar module) pilot. I’d like to take this opportunity to ask every person listening in, whoever and wherever they may be, to pause for a moment and contemplate the events of the past few hours and to give thanks in his or her own way.” That ended the broadcast, but in the silence of the moon 250,000 miles from planet Earth, Aldrin continued speaking. He read from the Bible and pulled out his communion elements. In his own words here’s what happened: “In the radio blackout, I opened the little plastic packages which contained the bread and the wine. I poured the wine into the chalice our church had given me. In the onesixth gravity of the moon, the wine slowly curled and gracefully came up the side of the cup. Then I read the scripture, ‘I am the vine, you are the branches. Whosoever abides in me will bring forth much fruit. Apart from me you can do nothing.’ “I had intended to read my communion passage back to Earth, but at the last minute [they] had requested that I not do this. NASA was already embroiled in a legal battle with Madelyn Murray O’Hare, the celebrated opponent of religion, over the Apollo 8 crew reading from Genesis while orbiting the moon at Christmas. I agreed reluctantly. I ate the tiny host and swallowed the wine. I gave thanks for the intelligence and spirit that had brought two young pilots to the Sea of Tranquility. It was interesting for me to think the very first liquid ever poured on the moon, and the very first food eaten there, were the communion elements.” Wow. I sense Buzz Aldrin’s awe. Don’t you? He linked the awesome experience of stepping on the moon with the most awesome thing he

already knew. Communion is a little ceremony we enact in churches of various stripes. We do it because the Lord Christ said, “Do this in remembrance of me.” The tiny glass of grape juice is a remembrance of his blood and the bit of bread a remembrance of his body, both laid down in death. Christ’s life poured out secures for us the wonder of forgiveness. Aldrin’s communion

service on the moon demonstrates humility that’s entirely appropriate for humans, even at their finest. His act acknowledged both our need of forgiveness, and that even our greatest accomplishments depend on God. I think about that now when the moon rises. Not only have we been there, we’ve taken the cup and bread there, remembering our great need of God. And we stand in awe.

FINANCIAL SERVICES Longtime Peachland and Summerland resident Des Loan passed away peacefully on Thursday. He arrived in the valley in 1955 with his wife Peggy and raised a family of five children. Des embarked on a path that would include high school teacher, pottery, photography, painting, poetry, music, orchardist, and town councillor. Keen to contribute to the cultural life of the valley, he established the Okanagan Pottery Studio in Peachland in 1968, which operated through to 2007. Having a deep respect for the natural beauty of the Okanagan, he was an active member of “Friends of Okanagan Mountain Park.” In this capacity he was not only instrumental in bringing Rattlesnake Island into the greater park system, but also contributed to restoring the island to its original natural condition. Des was predeceased by his wife Peggy (2007), son Geoffrey (2004) and daughter Cathy (1954). He is lovingly remembered by Christopher Loan (Vicky), Julia Ehler (Greg), Daphne Flanagan (Peter) and Alison Dudziak (Jacek). He loved and cherished his grandchildren Chloaye, Alana, Tatomme, Emilia, Conrad and Mary.

Mary passed away at Orchard Haven care home in Keremeos, BC at the age of 98 years. She was born in Consul, Saskatchewan. Mary met her husband Chesel in Peachland, BC and married October 29, 1938.

Predeceased by her husband, Chesel Robertson Haker, eldest daughter, Marilyn Louise, sister, Louise, brother, Charlie, three grandsons, Donald, Rick and Ronny Haker. A celebration of life will be held at the Anglican Church in Keremeos, on Friday, June 27, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. with a tea to follow in the church hall.

Exercise is an essential element of a healthy lifestyle. Including exercise in your daily routine can lower your risk for diabetes, heart disease and stroke, and exercise can even sharpen mental acuity, reduce anxiety and improve mood. But as beneficial as exercise can be, many men and women, particularly men and women over the age of 50, who have not laced up their sneakers in years are hesitant to begin an exercise regimen for a variety of reasons, potentially putting their long-term health at risk. Regardless of a person’s age, beginning a new exercise regimen can be intimidating. But it’s especially so for men and women over the age of 50, who might not know where to begin or how to approach adopting

a healthier lifestyle. The following are a few points men and women should know as they attempt to improve their physical fitness with a more active lifestyle. Exercise is safe even if you have not been physically active in a long time. Many older men and women worry that suddenly embracing physical fitness after years of inactivity may be detrimental to their health. But that’s only true if men and women don’t exercise caution at the outset of their routines. When beginning the routine, take things very slowly at first, choosing to walk or bike every day rather than hitting the treadmill and adjusting it to maximum resistance. When strength training, start off with very little weight so your muscles can grow acclimated to the motions and you can get the exercises down pat. As you grow more comfortable and your body starts to feel more up to the challenges of daily exercise, you can begin to gradually alter your cardiovascular and strength training workouts to make them more challenging. Exercise can make existing medical conditions more manageable. Men and women over the age of 50 who have preexisting medical conditions are likely to find that exercise alleviates rather than exacerbates their physical problems. Studies have shown that regular exercise and physical activity can benefit people with arthritis, high blood pressure and heart disease. But it’s still recommended that men and women with preexisting medical conditions consult with their physicians before making any lifestyle changes. Some conditions may affect a person’s ability to be active, and it’s best to

get the go-ahead from a physician before beginning an exercise regimen. Doctors may even suggest certain activities that have been known to alleviate particular conditions. Exercise reduces fatigue, so sitting around to preserve strength is not effective. Exercise improves strength and energy levels, so sitting on the sideline to preserve your strength is counterproductive and could lead to serious medical problems. Men and women who are inactive are almost twice as likely to develop heart disease as those who are more active. While getting adequate rest and giving your body ample time to recover from physical activity is essential; your body won’t benefit by avoiding exercise to preserve your strength. However, even moderate physical activity performed on a regular basis can reduce fatigue. No one is too old to exercise. It’s not uncommon for men and women in their golden years to think they are too old to exercise. Some may feel that their toned down workouts cannot possibly be making much of an impact thanks to the physical limitations old age has put on their bodies, while others may think it’s unwise for someone in their 70s or 80s to be physically active. But no one is too old to exercise, as exercise helps the body stay strong and fit even when you can no longer max out on the bench press or squat hundreds of pounds. Scaling back your exercise routine will be necessary as you get older, but that does not mean you cannot still enjoy and benefit from physical activity. Continuing to exercise as you age is a great way to improve your quality of life and stay as active as possible well into your golden years.

COMMUNITY PEACHLAND FALL FAIR

Hey kids! Junior entries are welcome at the fall fair first, $2 for second, and $1 for third). The more entries you submit, the better your chances are of coming out a big winner. Parents should refrain from the natural urge to help prepare exhibits. The judges can always tell, and will mark accordingly. Where the age is requested, please use a sticky note that can be

removed after judging. Do not write the age of the junior on the entry tag. Parents and guardians are reminded to check the exhibit to ensure all personal information is removed or is properly covered during judging and displaying. Of special interest to our juniors and families, we will have local magician Leif David

perform his magic act on Saturday, September 6 at 3:30 p.m. and Sunday, September 7 from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. Par-T-Perfect will also be in attendance with a bouncy house for the children to work off some steam, and both days we have lovely artist and face-painter Jessi Etchart to create adorable creatures on the children’s faces.

We invite you to challenge your brothers, sisters and friends to enter their items, and put out a friendly competition to join in the

fun at the 95th Peachland Fall Fair. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know you when you come to the fair!
