Resident donates $5,000 to district for York Lane steps

AT A GLANCE

After two years of calls to the province and federal government to help prevent invasive zebra and quagga mussels from being brought into Okanagan and B.C., the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its Okanagan WaterWise program are ramping up efforts.

Find us on Facebook!

Joanne Layh / Peachland View Residents walking around the Bulyea Avenue area will soon be able to get around the neighbourhood a little easier, thanks to a donation from a local resident to build steps in a steep area of York Lane that is regularly frequented by pedestrians.

The $5,000 total cost of the trail steps and railing, which includes labour and materials, was donated last week to the district by a Peachland resident in memory of her late husband.

The steps and railing will be installed along the upper 15 metres of the York Lane road allowance.

Director of operations Joe Mitchell says the steps will improve pedestrian connectivity from the cemetery to York Lane.

Requirements to maintain the steps will be minimal as the road allowance will remain largely unmaintained, especially during winter months, Mitchell said.

Mitchell says the steps and railing would improve the movement of pedestrians between Vernon Avenue and Bulyea Avenue using the largely undeveloped York Lane road allowance.

The first 15 metres near the cemetery are quite steep but quite popular with hikers and walkers and the path is also well used by students in the Bulyea Avenue area walking up to catch the school bus at the corner of Vernon and Princeton Avenues, Mitchell went on to say.

The area where the steps are to be installed is identified in the 2011 sidewalk and pedestrian connectivity plan as a pedestrian connection that many residents who attended the public consultation open houses said they were using.

“In the future it couldn’t ever become a roadway because the cemetery is the terminus of this road so there is nowhere for it to go,” Mitchell said.

The staff recommendation to accept the $5,000 donation for the steps received unanimous council approval.

“It does elevate quite quickly the last 20 metres or so and the stairs would be really quite an invaluable asset to those that use that on a regular basis,” Councillor Terry Condon said.

“It’s a wonderful idea and I personally don’t have a problem if we need to put some money in as well,” Councillor and Peachland Trekkers walking club president Eric Hall said. “I think people do walk in that area and since I’m involved with the walking club I can tell you we are always looking for walks that are of a circular nature and sometimes you are not quite sure if you are on public or private property so this will make it very clear.

I think it’s a great idea.”

District ends water quality advisory

BCFGA updates Peachland council on new strategies

Joanne Layh / Peachland View

Lyonel Doherty Special to the Peachland View

Spring runoff season appears to have come to an end in Peachland, prompting the district to rescind a water quality advisory that has been in place since April 19.

Last Tuesday the Okanagan lake pump system was shut off following a decrease in turbidity to a level below 1.0 NTU. At press time, water from a Deep Creek was at .48 NTU, which has a “good” rating on the turbidity index. Water from Trepanier Creek was at .45 NTU, which also has a “good” rating.

Spring runoff and turbidity (dirty water) are annual occurrences in the region, typically from March to June.

For more information contact the District of Peachland at 250-767-2647 or 250767-2108 or visit www. interiorhealth.ca.

Fruit growers in B.C. have a number of strategies that their association shared with Peachland council last week.

BC Fruit Growers Association president Fred Steele and general manager Glen Lucas gave council an update on what the group is focusing on this year.

Lucas addressed Bill 24 (Agricultural Land Commission amendments), saying they are in favour of flexibility for agricultural uses, but they oppose the government’s two-zone approach (they want one zone only).

Lucas said the association is asking that the Kootenay region be included in Zone 1.

(It is now lumped into Zone 2, where farmers will be given more flexibility to conduct nonagricultural operations.)

Lucas said the BCFGA supports the new Water Sustain-

ability Act and is exploring a possible pilot project on an “agriculture water reserve” in the Okanagan.

Lucas talked about domestic and foreign workers, saying their first pick is local workers.

He said a full-time facilitator has been hired to take job orders from farmers and find workers to fill those jobs. In addition, there will be safety and orientation training for local workers.

Lucas said foreign workers will be used to fill any shortfall.

Lucas said growers do appreciate the regional district’s wood chipping program, which is an alternative to burning.

He also noted that the starling control program is working to reduce bird damage and the use of noisy, bird-scaring devices.

Lucas said they are looking for new sites to trap starlings.

Under request for action, the BCFGA plans to help the industry implement a new strategy for growth in agriculture sector exports.

Rotating teacher strikes continue in School District 23 Lyonel Doherty with files from Erin Christie

Rotating strikes continued in School

District 23 as teachers walked off the job

again on Monday. Jim Iker, president of the BC Teachers’ Federation (BCTF), said the B.C. government is still refusing to put funds on the table to reduce class sizes and increase staffing levels for special needs students. Teachers are also fighting to for a “fair wage” increase.

“It’s time for Premier Christy Clark to free up the resources that will bring the two sides closer together and ensure students start the next school year with smaller classes, more support for children with special needs, and extra one-on-one time,” Iker said.

He thanked par-

ents for their ongoing understanding and support, noting the reaction on the picket lines has been fantastic.

“Parents know that we are working to improve the education system for their children,” Iker said.

In response to the continuing one-day strikes, the government issued a partial lockout on teachers, which includes a pay reduction.

The government has outlined that teachers will not start work more than 45 minutes before the start of classes and not continue to work more than 45 minutes after classes end.

Nothing in the partial lockout prevents teachers from discussing student needs or concerns with parents, according to the Ministry of Education.

The ministry also states that the lockout does not prevent teachers from participating in extracurricular activities such as graduation ceremonies.

“If teachers refuse to attend, they do so by their own choice or encouragement of their union,” the ministry says.

Unless interrupted by rotating strikes, all final exams are expected to proceed.

Despite these assurances, many students

have raised a concern about graduation and exams if rotating strikes continue.

The government is planning to lock out secondary school teachers on June 25, 26, and 27, but Moyra Baxter, chairperson of the board of education, said they are still invited to attend activities.

“Teachers can still go if they want. That’s up to each individual teacher,” she stated.

In response to the proposed provincial student walk-out scheduled for June 4, Baxter said Hugh Gloster, superintendent of schools, issued a notice to parents reminding them that the walk-out is not sanctioned or approved by the school district and students would essentially be skipping classes.

“While we respect the rights of students to express their views regarding the current labour situation,” Gloster wrote, “the proposed walk-out raises a number of concerns, particularly with regard to student safety and the potential loss of even more instructional time. It would be appreciated if parents would discuss the issue with their children and encourage them to make good decisions.”

SPCA issues warning about leaving hot dogs in vehicles Contributed With temperatures rising across the province, the BC SPCA is reminding the public to protect their pets against the dangers of heat exhaustion and heatstroke.

“When the days get warmer we get hundreds of emergency calls to rescue dogs whose lives are endangered because they are left in hot cars by their guardians,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “Many wellmeaning guardians leave their dogs unattended in parked cars while they run errands.

Tragically, this can lead to serious heatstroke and even death for their

pets.”

The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill a pet. In just minutes, the temperature in a parked car can climb to well over 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit).

Dogs have no sweat glands, so they cool

themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws. On summer days the hot air and upholstery in a vehicle can make it impossible for pets to cool themselves. Dogs can withstand high temperatures for only a very short time – usually just 10 minutes – before suffering irreparable brain damage or death.

Pet guardians should

be alert to heatstroke symptoms, which include: exaggerated panting (or the sudden stopping of panting), rapid or erratic pulse, salivation, anxious or staring expression, weakness and muscle tremors, lack of coordination, convulsions or vomiting, and collapse.

If your dog shows symptoms of heatstroke, you should do

the following: • Immediately move the animal to a cool, shady place; • Wet the dog with cool water; • Fan vigorously to promote evaporation.

This will cool the blood, which reduces the animal’s core temperature; • Do not apply ice.

This constricts blood flow, which will inhibit cooling; • Allow the dog to drink some cool water (or to lick ice cream if no water is available); and • Take the dog to a veterinarian as soon as possible for further treatment.

“If you’re used to letting your dog accompany you on errands, you might feel guilty leaving him behind on

hot summer days. But your dog will be much happier – and safer – at home, with shade and plenty of fresh cool water,” Chortyk says.

The BC SPCA is a non-profit organization funded primarily by public donations.

Their mission is to prevent cruelty and to promote the welfare

of animals through a wide range of services, including cruelty investigations, emergency rescue and treatment, sheltering and adoption of homeless and abused animals, humane education, advocacy, farm animal welfare, spay/ neuter programs, and wildlife rescue and rehabilitation.

Okanagan Basin Water Board urges residents to press for action on zebra and quagga mussels Contributed After two years of calls to the province and federal government to help prevent invasive zebra and quagga mussels from being brought into Okanagan and B.C., the Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) and its Okanagan WaterWise program are ramping up efforts.

As of this week the local government agency, responsible for providing leadership on water issues that span the valley, has launched a “Speak out!” initiative, inviting Okanagan residents to go to www.DontMoveAMussel.ca and write to their MLA and their MP and urge action.

“We need the provincial and federal governments to step up to the plate. Zebra and quagga mussels are a triple threat to our well-being,” explained OBWB Chair Doug Findlater. “They pose a significant environmental threat, a threat to our infrastructure which we’ll all pay for with increased taxes, and an economic threat to tourism and more.”

Research conducted for the OBWB notes that an invasion of these mussels, originally from Europe, could cost the Okanagan

more than $43 million a year to just manage.

They are known to stimulate toxic algae blooms, litter beaches with sharp shells, clog boat motors, foul water intakes and outfalls, put fish and the ecology of our lakes at risk, and more. There is no proven method to eradicate the mussels once they arrive that doesn’t also cause significant environmental impacts.

The agency launched the “Don’t Move a Mussel” campaign last summer to inform residents of the threat these mussels pose, and to support efforts

by water stewardship groups to encourage boaters and those with other watercrafts to “Clean, Drain, Dry” their equipment. At the same time, the OBWB has been calling on the federal government to pass pending legislation allowing Canada Border Services agents to stop and inspect boats coming into Canada, and urging the province to bring in inspection stations – similar to U.S. programs that have self-funded boater-pay sticker programs. The province has estimated an effective inspection

program would be about $2.4 million per year (15 stations at a cost of $60,000$160,000 each per year).

“We’ve done our research, boat inspections stations and the right legislation in place are key,” Findlater noted.

“It’s impractical to be at each boat launch with so many private launch sites. But, there are only so many roads into the province and these can be monitored much more easily.

“This effort to encourage residents to join us in our call for action comes from val-

Canada Post Contract #41127536

While we may not agree with teachers’ wage demands (they make good money), we back them 100 per cent when it comes to more one-onone support for children with special needs.

There is a growing number of students coming to school with anxiety issues that prevent them from learning effectively. Yet there are not enough specialist teachers to deal with these needs. That’s what the BC Teachers’ Federation is fighting for.

We wouldn’t want to be a teacher in a large class that has several pupils needing extra one-on-one time. That’s too much to handle.

What causes anxiety in children? Let us count the ways. Poverty is one.

According to a report, our province has the highest child poverty rate in Canada, with one in five children considered statistically poor.

The report conducted by First Call, a child and youth advocacy group, says B.C.’s child poverty rate is 18.6 per cent compared to the national rate of 13.3 per cent.

If B.C. Premier Christy Clark doesn’t want to meet teachers’ wage demands, we understand. But put that money to hiring more educators to reduce class sizes and address all these special need requirements. We think this is a good compromise.

Existing special needs teachers are running ragged trying to keep up with the demand, and we fear than many students are falling through the cracks and not getting the help they deserve.

Having a child crying during homework because he or she is having difficulty understanding the curriculum is heartbreaking for a parent.

There are approximately 65,000 children in B.C. who have been diagnosed with anxiety disorders. There you go, that’s 65,000 reasons for the government to provide adequate funding.

Facts need to be set straight about school space It is sad and disappointing to hear comments made by Councillor Fortin regarding the current chamber executive’s negotiations with the Peachland Community Arts Council for the use of space within the Historic Primary School. When a councillor makes a strong negative opinion about any service group within their district, you would assume they have done their homework and checked their facts. But in this case, Councillor Fortin not once has reached out to anyone at the chamber executive to ask our opinion on how negotiations with the arts council have been progressing.

If she did, she would have known that there is a tentative agreement in place pending one detail to address, which, in my understanding, has now been addressed. As president of the chamber, I am one of the directors she is referring to who supposedly has been “tearing up contracts and changing my mind for months.” I supposedly treated them unfairly throughout this process. In my opinion, Councillor Fortin, these comments you have made about our negotiations on behalf of the chamber that are disingenuous are on your part.

As a councillor, are you not bound by a duty to your district to conduct

yourself in a professional manner that builds consensus between groups rather than attempt to sow seeds of conflict and discontent? Are you not obliged to make statements based on fact that represent a fair and impartial opinion and to work for the benefit of all groups? Shooting from the hip at council meetings with comments not based on fact, in my opinion, is reckless behaviour that simply cannot engender goodwill in any capacity, reflects poorly on the district and quite frankly is embarrassing. Are you aware that these meetings are recorded for residents to listen to on the municipal website?

In our opinion, we have not dragged on negotiations in bad faith. That time has been needed for both organizations to find common ground for an agreement that will work for both parties long term. Let’s try and set some facts straight. You imply that we are charging the arts council money for the space while only paying $1 in rent. We do not rent the Historic Primary School for $1 as you claimed at the last council meeting. That is simply a token contract clause that implies acceptance of terms.

OPINION | COMMENTARY

Chamber looks forward to working with the arts council Continued from page 4

The chamber has a contract with the district that pegs a budget of $46,818 to carry out two responsibilities – to host the visitor centre, providing year round hours of operations including paid staffing at a high standard according to Destination BC, and as well to carry out anchor tenancy responsibilities that include paying the maintenance and operating costs of the building, which are yet to be determined as it is our first year in the building. That $46,818 budget is exactly the same budget we had when hosting the visitor centre in the small shack next to city hall but we now have a large building to look after and pay for, and the visitor centre is now more prominent and visible location across from the beach, so we expect many more visitors.

So overall costs to the chamber will simply be higher, quite a bit higher for us to fulfill as written in our current contract with the district for providing these services. We respect that council does not have unlimited funds to in-

crease our budget so we are coming up with solutions and ideas like a gift shop with product from our members and local businesses to generate revenue.

We are also seeking to amend our contract with the district to concentrate our funding over the busier summer months and do the best we can with volunteers to keep the visitor centre open during the winter or to have discretion to close the visitor centre in the deep of winter if we absolutely have to. This is so we can attempt to stay in line with our own budget.

As much as we would like to, we don’t have the luxury of sharing the Historic Primary School with another group and bearing the cost of that. That would be irresponsible on our part both to the district and to our chamber members. The contract amendment process with the district is also nearing conclusion and an amended contract will be at the next meeting of council for their approval. I encourage all supporters of the chamber and visitor centre to attend

that meeting next Tuesday at 9 a.m. at council chambers to show your support. We are doing the best we can to provide Peachland with a great visitor centre we can be proud of, given the resources we have.

For the record, we support the Peachland Community Arts Council and look forward to working with them to help them create a very vibrant art gallery. It is in everyone’s interest that they succeed including the Peachland Chamber of Commerce. All of this information you could have learned, Councillor Fortin, if you had taken the time to ask.

Again, I wish to emphasize that while the chamber primarily represents the local business community, we are an inclusive organization to prides itself on cooperating with other service groups and volunteers to the benefit of Peachland. Our motto is “Peachland First!”

Things are heating up in Parliament MP Dan Albas Commentary With the House of Commons now sitting until midnight for the remainder of this session and with record temperatures being recorded in Ottawa, it is fair to say that the atmosphere has become heated and at times highly partisan on certain issues. Two

Dan Albas, MP of the most contentious issues this week included the ongoing investigation into the potential misuse of House of Commons funds by the NDP for partisan political purposes and more recently the appointment of a new Privacy Com-

missioner.

In both circumstances the government and Liberals have been in agreement to further the investigation into NDP House resource spending and more recently the Liberals have supported the government appointment of long time civil servant Daniel Therrien as Canada`s new privacy commissioner.

Our prime minister will be departing for Europe this week and along for the flight will be a delegation of Canadian veterans, including a veteran from Okanagan-Coquihalla to participate in ceremonies recognizing the 70th anniversary of the Normandy invasion. We should never forget the thousands of Canadian soldiers who lost their lives in the Normandy campaign.

Also occurring this week will be the release of an important new report from the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs.

This report is the result of a comprehensive review of the New

Veterans Charter and I can attest that local veterans have been supportive of a thorough review by the committee. Although I am not a member of this committee, I do make a point of covering for absent members where possible as I believe that this is a important issue to many citizens in Okanagan-Coquihalla.

Based on my particpation at these meetings and from comments from the other members, there is all party support recognizing the importance of this report in suggesting further improvements to the New Veterans Charter.

There will also be a number of bills before the House this week including Bill C-27- “The Veterans Hiring Act,” Bill C-35 “Justice for Animals in Service Act,” Bill C-32 “The Victims Bill of Rights Act,” Bill C-18 “The Agricultural Growth Act,” Bill C-20 “Canada-Honduras Economic Growth and Prosperity Act”

BC’s new recycling regulations belong in the trash.

and Bill C-21 “The Red Tape Reduction Act.” There will also be a number of private member’s bills and motions coming before the House on a variety of different subjects including the presentation of petitions.

I would also like to take a moment to thank the many citizens who took the time to voice support for Bill C-17 “Protecting Canadians from Unsafe Drugs Act” that I referenced in last week’s

MP report. From time to time there are bills that draw extremely wide support from a very diverse segment of citizens; without exception every citizen I heard from supports the ability of government to have more options for issuing recalls against dangerous drugs and medical devices that can potentially compromise patient safety as proposed in Bill C-17. I can also pass on that Bill C-17 has since re-

ceived all party support to move on to committee stage review.

If you have a comment, question or concern on any matter or bill before the House of Commons, I can be reached via email at dan.albas@ parl.gc.ca or toll free at 1-800-665-8711.

Programs still open for kids to register Patricia Barrows Special to the Peachland View Here at the Peachland Boys and Girls Club we have noticed a few sure signs of summer – more people strolling along Beach Avenue, eager swimmers testing the waters at Swim Bay, and kids looking forward to the end of the school year and start of summer vacation!

It seems like this year is flying by but it’s not too late for parents of kids and youth to register for summer programs here at the club. New this summer is our full day summer day camp program for children ages 6 - 12. Open Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. 5:30 p.m., school-aged children can come to the club and take part in fun games such as challenging relay races and obstacle courses, create awesome crafts using a wide variety of materials, participate in trips to various Okanagan attractions, and even enjoy a yummy afternoon snack. Pre-registration is required, contact the club for rates and to register.

Our drop in programs and cooking nights have become increasingly popular during the school year so we wanted to be sure to continue to offer a variety of fun and exciting recreation programs for tweens and teens.

On Mondays from 1 - 4 p.m. starting July 7, tweens are invited to join us on mini trips to various locations such as water parks, hikes, museums or out for a treat.

Space in our van is limited so be sure to reserve your tween’s spot early.

Tuesday and Thursday afternoons will be spent at the beach; staff will be at Swim Bay from 1 - 3 p.m. for tweens and 3 - 5 p.m. for teens ready with games and activities or just to hang out.

Kids at the club love to cook so we will be offering two cooking programs during July and August! Tuesdays from 10:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. is our lunchables program where for only $5/ session, members aged 6 - 12 can come to the club, work on an art or

craft project, then cook and eat a tasty, nutritious lunch. We would appreciate families to pre-register for this program so we have an idea of the amount of food to have on hand. Cool Moves dinner nights will continue for tweens during the summer on Wednesdays from 5 7:30 p.m.

Our doors will be open for teens to “beat the heat” on Wednesday and Friday afternoons from 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. Youth can take a break from the sun and come into the club for a snack, to use our computers (wi-fi is also available) or just hang out with friends.

Is your child or teen is interested in a camp

experience? We have an amazing opportunity for them. The Okanagan Boys and Girls Club operates Camp ArrowFlight, an outdoor adventure centre offering camping and outdoor programs for children, youth and families. Located near Armstrong, the camp consists of camper cabins, a lodge, dining hall, swimming pool, BMX course, rock climbing tower and many other activities.

Camps include all meals, activities and accommodations; transportation can be provided for a small cost. If your child is not quite ready for a full five day camp we are offering “a taste of camp,” a two day, one night

camp for children ages 7-12. Camp ArrowFlight also offers specialized camps and programs for teens, leaders in training, and junior counselors.

Camp dates, information and registration packages can be found online at www.boysandgirlsclubs. ca or email campreg@ boysandgirlsclubs.ca.

For information on any of our programs we can be reached by phone (250-767-2515), email (Peachland@boysandgirlsclubs.ca), Facebook, or Twitter. Activity calendars can be downloaded from our website www.boysandgirlsclubs. ca or feel free to come down to the centre, see the club and meet the staff.

ARTS & CULTURE

Peachland Community Arts Council artist of the month: Audrey Peat

Lavender Fields Forever, acrylic

Watchers of Whidbey Island, acrylic

Pet of the Week Name: Dexter Age: 5 years Breed: Yorkshire terrier When Dexter’s not being a Yorkshire terrorist to the neighborhood dogs, he’s a loyal lap dog to his owners!

Audrey Peat’s interest in colour and the representation of form was first expressed through the medium of stained glass and mosaics. She became interested in art following retirement to the Okanagan and with the help of her wonderful teacher, Linda Lovisa, was able to begin a journey of discovery. Art is growth and evolution as the painter reveals a little of themselves every time a brush touches the canvas.

As a newer painter, Peat is experimenting with a variety of styles and media in her development. She paints every day and especially enjoys interpreting the natural and unique beauty of the Okanagan Valley. Lately she has been using her experience with stained glass to evoke this style and feel in her original paintings.

Peat’s favourite saying is “art

and life are all about values.”

The history of the D-Day memorial at Mogshade Hill, New Forest

Patricia Day Special to the Peachland View On April 14, 1944 the Rev. R. Keith Perdue of the Canadian chaplain’s service, serving with the 3rd Canadian infantry division, was looking for a suitable site on which to hold a church service for his men. He chose for that purpose the site at Mogshade Hill with its beautiful vista of Highland water enclosure and the distant hills.

He found two pine logs with the bark on and bolted them together in the form of a cross and erected it by the side of the enclosure fence. In front of the cross he placed a flag-covered altar and the men stood facing down the slope towards the altar and the cross, and as the ground fell sharply away behind the cross it stood out sharply against the skyline.

The site was used for church services

from April 14, 1944 until the men left for the Normandy invasion.

In 1949 the deputy surveyor of the New Forest wrote to the Canadian high commissioner in London, giving him the his-

tory of the cross and informing him that as it was of unseasoned pine it was rapidly falling in to decay and suggesting that it might be appropriate to perpetuate the memory of this incident by replacing the

pine cross with one hewn from New Forest oak and placing at its foot a simple inscription carved on oak.

The high commissioner communicated with Rev. Keith Perdue who suggested the inscription should read: “On April 14, 1944 a cross was erected on this site to the Glory of God, by men of the 3rd Canadian Division, R.C.A.S.C.” The original cross was replaced with one in New Forest oak made to the same dimensions and held together with the original bolt, but the commemorative plaque was not erected.

In 1960 the Director of Forestry for Eng-

land suggested that the rather flimsy construction of the cross was not really worthy of the occasion and that it should be replaced by a more solid and permanent memorial with a commemorative plaque.

A sturdy cross constructed of the New Forest oak has now been erected on the site of the original cross and a plaque bearing the following inscription has been

placed at the foot of the cross.

“On this site a Cross was erected to the Glory of God on 14th April, 1944 and services were held here until ‘D-Day,’ 6th June, 1944, by men of the 3rd Canadian Division, R.C.A.S.C.” In 1969 the plaque, which had become weather worn over the years, was removed, refurbished and replaced in a new concrete plinth by the

PHOTOS DOUG ARMITAGE

Bournemouth branch of an ex-servicemen’s association. At the same time the forestry commission renovated the fencing and levelled the area around the cross.

On June 10, 1984, 40 years later, a memorial service was held on the site in remembrance of the 3rd Canadian division, R.C.A.S.C. who gave their service in the freedom of tyranny during the Second World War.

DISPATCHES FROM THE FARM

The only place you can get ninja fishing advice with jujubes

IAN STEWART IAN STEWART

Jordan Marr Special to the Peachland View May 25: I’m keeping a farm journal for my readers this year that my late, dear grandma Stella would have identified as being “full of BS.” I really miss her.

May 26: My soil is deficient in boron, so I went Jordan Marr down to IGA to buy some Borax, a mined salt that, in addition to killing ants and washing your clothes, will help my sunflow-

ers, those boron hogs, grow tall and strong. Owner Harry was at the register and asked me if I was going fishing. “???” I said. He explained that fishermen use Borax as a binding agent for fish roe so that the latter will stay on their hooks as bait. I realize that a local grocer like Harry has a hard time matching prices with the big boxes, but where else are you able to get ninja fishing advice along with your jujubes? Certainly not at Superstore.

May 27: I tossed and turned in bed last night, feeling guilty about the presumptions I made in yesterday’s journal entry. So I phoned Galen Weston to ask him how to hook a decent-sized trout, but all he did was go on and on about his Decadent brand ice cream sandwiches. In the end I had to hang up on him. I’m going to sleep like a baby tonight.

Jordan (left) and Joe haying like mad to finish before the recent thunderstorm, which cost him a quarter of the crop. If it had held off for another 45 minutes the four-day process of haying would have been completed.

31: A lesson in extremes Down in Penticton to the year’s first weekly bag to my subscribers,

JORDAN MARR

A honey bee having a rest on a gate latch.

I visited one new customer and was whisked inside to be thanked and introduced to every member of the family, including Jet, who will be five in 14 sleeps. He invited me to the party. Ego soaring,

I proceeded to the next recipient, an 85-year-old whose daughter had purchased her a veggie subscription for Christmas. Evidently is was a surprise. “What? I’ve got too many veggies already! I throw them out!” I’ve never had a customer accept their veggie bag so begrudgingly. I liked her, though. Farmers tend to get put on a pedestal. This lady will keep me humble. And I like a challenge.

June 1: I split my pants crotchto-knee while lunging for a pop fly during a softball game today. This is journal-worthy only because of my lengthy pants-splitting story from a couple weeks back. My thighs are like Andy’s from The Shawshank Redemption, only less successful.

June 2: Farming is awesome because you can be in on a conference call for a board meeting of some non-profit you’re in-

volved with, and the topic is bylaw changes and you just want to stick your head in the oven, and then Joe calls you on the other line to tell you he needs help baling hay, and when it’s hay-baling time and there’s thunderheads on the horizon, you don’t mess around man, and so you get back on the other line and say, “I have to go. There’s hay to be baled.”

And you race out the door, and you feel like Batman. And so you ask Joe to call you Batman, and he says, “I’m not doing that. Pick up a rake.” But it’s still way more fun than that conference call. And you can still refer to Joe as Commissioner Gordon when he’s out of earshot.

Jordan Marr grows organic veggies in Peachland. You can buy them on Fridays, 5-7 p.m., at the farm. More info at thehomesteadorganicfarm.ca.

Everyone can enjoy the art of floristry Wayne Power / Special to the Peachland View Flower arranging is truly an art that everyone can try. It first began with the Egyptians over 2,500 years ago. Through the ages, humans have always used flowers to express feelings and emotions. It can be enjoyable, relaxing, and even become a very creative pastime.

Many people have even turned this “growing” hobby into a very profitable business for special occasions. Floristry has become a credited course in many community colleges. Any home and environment comes alive when a floral piece is added.

At this year’s 95th fall fair, you have an opportunity to enter your floral talents and creations. A variety of thematic categories are available for you to choose from. Enter your creations and win cash prizes. Some ideas include: a Tudor nosegay, love, Disney, naturalistic, southwest, an oriental symphony, wreaths and topiary. Try your choice of a creation to show an old west flair.

This is your chance to rearrange nature’s floral garden, your garden, your creativity, your artistic flair. Whatever the language, be it Japanese, German, Italian, Spanish etc., see you at the fair.

Time to plant flowers for this year’s Peachland Fall Fair!

Berkeley Stuart Special to the Peachland View Way out west in this Okanagan Valley we are lucky to have a climate that lends itself to growing a huge variety of beautiful flowers, as well as yummy fruits, vegetables, berries and nuts. Now that spring has sprung, it’s time to set out flower seeds or seedling plants in preparation for a showy summer garden display. Do a little research to find plants and flowers that fit your garden style as well as your lifestyle. You may have a large garden to fill with flowers, or just a few pots and milk pails on your porch to fill with bright annuals. Whatever fits into your time and the space you have available is the best garden to have. Plant, water

and then sit back and enjoy the fruits and flowers of your labours all summer (you might need to weed every now and then).

Take a look through the flower section on our website, and pick a few categories from which to enter flowers from your garden.

Then baby them along until the morning of September 6, cut them before sunrise, and deliver to the community centre to exhibit in the fall fair.

You could win a prize with your blooming pansies! To see entry categories, view the flower section page on the website at www.peachlandfallfair.ca.

The theme this year should easily inspire you. If you haven’t figured it out yet, it is “There’s an Old West Flair at the Peachland Fall Fair!” Use your

Peachland

Farmers and Crafters Market “the little Market that cares”

imagination with the containers.

Sometimes we get tips and comments from our judge about the condition of the flowers and the suitability of the flowers to the vase or container they are in. Aesthetically, keep scale in mind as well as colour. You don’t want to overpower a flower with the vase it is in, or vice versa (a sunflower needs something more substantial than a rosebud to show it off to its best). The judge also asked me to remind entrants that it is allowable to prep your blossoms to show their best. You may have a misshapen leaf, a petal that was bitten

by a grasshopper, or a couple of petals that are shriveled. You are allowed to remove those, and any little foreign critters that are coming along for a ride! Also remember to check on the name of your flower before bringing it in (last year a few were entered into the wrong category because the entrant didn’t know the flower name – and they won’t get judged if that happens) and make sure to double check the number of flowers required for a category. Enter this year’s theme class with a bouquet illustrating the old west in an appropriately western container.

SUDOKU 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

The Ponderosa Discovery Centre in the mall recently closed its doors, though the showhome for the development remains open. Treegroup chairman and CEO Norm Porter was not available for comment at press time.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

Make a joyful noise to the Lord Elaine Diggle Peachland United Church St. Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD) is often quoted as having said “He who sings, prays twice.” The Latin cited for this is “Qui bene cantat bis orat” or “He who sings well prays twice.”

However, scholars have searched the extant writings of St. Augustine and this does not appear in anything of those that have come down to us. He did write “cantare amantis est… singing belongs to one who loves,” and “For he who sings praise, does not only praise, but also praises joyfully; he who sings praise, not only sings, but also loves Him whom he is singing about/to/for.”

In other words, when the praise is of God something happens to the song of the praiser that makes it more than just any kind of song.

Something happens so that the song itself becomes love. Perhaps a conflation of the sayings would look something like this: “He who sings well prays twice, so long as it is from love.”

As an aside, St. Augustine of Hippo, a city in the area of present day Algeria, is the patron saint of brewers, printers, theologians, the alleviation of sore eyes, and a number of cities and dioceses, but not of praying or singing!

But long before Augustine, the Psalmists were encouraging songs of praise. “Oh sing to

the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things! Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises! Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody! With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord! Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who dwell in it! Let the rivers clap their hands; let the hills sing for joy together” (Psalm 98:1, 4-8).

And again “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Know that the Lord, He is God! It is He who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless His name! For the Lord is good; His steadfast love endures for ever, and his faithfulness to all generations” (Psalm 100).

And so for thousands of years people have been singing their love and praise for God as they meet together to share fellowship and worship. Consistent with the traditions of centuries, many good people of Peachland gather together on Sunday mornings to share their love of the Creator as they too “make a joyful noise to the Lord.” In our historic Church the congregation of Peachland

United also continues this age old tradition of singing our faith in hymns of love and praise every Sunday morning.

In this we have been wonderfully led for nigh on 30 years by our much loved music animator, Betty Sim. Betty has conducted the choir and sung solos, not only for Sunday worship, but also for weddings, funerals and Remembrance Day celebrations. She is at the heart of our music and has a passion for encouraging young musicians to follow in this all encompassing tradition of praising our maker in song as well as enhancing music within our faith community. Part of

encouragement is to help a young person following in her footsteps, with a bursary to help defray the costs of lessons. Thus the congregation has set up the Betty Sim music fund as a vehicle to help make this happen.

This Sunday, June 8, as we celebrate the inauguration of this fund, we are inviting all and everyone in Peachland who loves singing songs of praise to join us at the church at 3 p.m. for a hymn sing and afterwards for a chili supper in the church hall next door. We look forward to seeing many of you there. God bless and may your singing always be filled with joy.
