been noticed is undetermined.”

Springer says the structure was difficult to access so they ended up using Peachland and West Kelowna’s water tenders to shuttle water to the house.

“The house was fully involved so it was a defensive fire.

With two and a half inch lines we were able to maintain a water source with our tenders and we are still out mopping up,” Springer said. “It was a large timber frame house with very large beams in it and some of them have burnt through and collapsed and some of the suspended slab has collapsed in on itself. We’re still out there dealing with that and because of the size and location of it, we have difficult access getting to the seat of it so we’ll be out there for a while.”

The regional district’s plan to disperse biosolids material from the Westside Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant onto Peachland’s watershed area at Brenda Mines will not proceed as they had hoped. On April 25, in a letter to district staff, Interior Health stated they have advised Regional District of Central Okanagan (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, according to their letter to district staff, Interior Health officials are less than confident that the treatment plant would be sufficient to protect Peachland’s watershed.

“Interior Health has reviewed the land application plan for applying Class B bio-

Fire destroys Brent Road mansion Joanne Layh / Peachland View West Kelowna RCMP are asking the public to come forward with any information they may have about a fire that destroyed a Brent Road home early last Monday morning.

About 20 Peachland firefighters battled the Brent Road house fire however, with the structure already fully involved before it was even reported, the home unfortunately couldn’t be saved.

The structure fire was reported to Peachland Fire and Rescue Service at 4:49 a.m. Monday morning.

“When we arrived we found a structure fully involved, a large timber frame construction house with a large, winding driveway down from Brent Road just about to the lake,” assistant fire chief James Springer said in an interview with The View Monday morning. “How long it had been burning before it had

The residents of the home were apparently out of the country at the time of the fire, according to Springer.

While fire crews were on site, some of the surrounding grass caught fire and had to be put out and a nearby home also caught fire but was able to be saved.

“We had a fire brand land on a cedar shake roof about five houses to the north and start a fire in the roof, which we dealt with while we were out there as well,” Springer said. “There was minor damage to the shakes.”

While the house is located outside the District of Peachland, in September 2007 Brent Road residents entered into a five-year fire protection agreement with the district. The agreement expired last year and was renewed for another five years.

As part of the fire protection agreement, Brent Road residents pay a fire tax to the regional district, which is calculated at the same rate Peachland residents pay. The taxes are paid to the regional district, and then reimbursed to the District of Peachland.

Springer says the cause of the fire is undetermined at this time. Anyone with information pertaining to the cause of the fire is asked to call the RCMP at 250-768-2880.

Recycling changes to come in effect May 19 Joanne Layh Peachland View Starting May 19, changes will come into effect that will impact what items Central Okanagan residents will be able to place in their curbside recycling cart or drop off at recycling depots. The changes are part of a new province-wide stewardship program for Packaging and Printed Paper (PPP) under the newly formed organization, Multi Material BC (MMBC).

New items acceptable to recycle as of May 19 include: • Hot and cold paper drink cups and lids (but not straws); • Milk/milk substitute cartons and soup tetra-

pak containers; • Plastic coated paper packaging (e.g. ice cream cartons, frozen meal boxes); • Aerosol cans, empty (e.g. hairspray, air freshener, wax and furniture polish); • Spiral wound cans (e.g. frozen juice, coffee cans, nuts, chips); and • Microwaveable paper containers (e.g. single serve soups, paper bowls).

However, some items that were previously acceptable in the curbside recycling bin, such as plastic bags, will now only be accepted at recycling depots.

The other new changes include: • Styrofoam recycling (e.g. meat trays, foam

Categories at the depot will be paper, containers, Styrofoam, glass and plastic bags.

MMBC’s stewardship plan was approved by the provincial government in April 2013. The program will launch on May 19, despite widespread opposition from a coalition of business stakeholder groups representing several major sectors of the British Columbia economy.

The Regional District of Central Okanagan, City of Kelowna, District of West Kelowna, District of Lake Country and District of Peachland all have signed contracts with MMBC to collect recyclables on behalf of MMBC and in accordance with MMBC requirements.

Interior Health rejects RDCO biosolids application plan for Brenda Mines Continued from page 1

solids to [the] Brenda Mines site,” Interior Health environmental health officer Anita Ely wrote. “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.

“The on-site treatment and management of biosolids are not designed to treat or eliminate disease causing micro-organisms from entering the drinking water. Therefore, water flowing away from the site and feeding into the area drinking water sources may be at risk of being contaminated,” Ely said.

In an April 24 letter to the RDCO, Interior Health medical health officer Robert A. Parker further specified, “In addition, Brenda Mines on-site treatment, operator training, monitoring, regulatory oversight, governance and incident response are not designed for drinking water treatment and elimination

of pathogen loading of water, if ideal biosolids application conditions are not met. Therefore there is insufficient means to mitigate the risk of pathogen contamination of released water.”

they not proceed before conducting a local public consultation process and ensuring Interior Health has no concerns about the project’s impact on the safety of Peachland’s water supply.

An application to the province is necessary to proceed because the land application of biosolids is regulated by the provincial government under the organic matter recycling regulation, rather than by municipal or regional governments.

Due to the first condition not being met, Mayor Keith Fielding said he made it clear to the regional district board that Peachland no longer supports the project.

“I was really just really delighted to see that Interior Health were quite unequivocal in their response,” Mayor Fielding said.

Without Interior Health and district support, the RDCO will now need to explore other options for disposing of the biosolids material.

However, finding an affordable and appropriate means of dealing with biosolids from the wastewater plant has proven challenging for the regional district.

“It is going to go back to the Westside wastewater treatment service select committee, of which we have several members,” director of operations Joe Mitchell said in

Canada Post Contract #41127536

This week the regional district announced the launch of a new informational campaign to help encourage more dog owners to leash their pets and pick up after them.

The campaign includes new signage being installed in regional parks to help “reinforce dog owner responsibilities with a grin.”

One sign contains the following message: “Make sure your dog doesn’t leave anything behind! Catch our drift?” Another reads, “If your dog poops and you don’t scoop…but nobody sees you…does that mean it won’t stick to the bottom of my shoe?”

The signs have already gone up along the Mission Creek Greenway in Kelowna and will be installed in more regional parks over the coming weeks.

However, if you’re the kind of person who thinks it’s okay to let your dog poo while you look in the opposite direction and walk away or if you feel entitled to take your pet off leash wherever you feel like, I’m doubtful that a friendly sign is going to change your behaviour, since the unfriendly signs didn’t.

This summer, the regional district also plans to introduce dog ambassadors

and volunteer parks patrollers in regional parks to increase awareness, provide information and encourage responsible dog ownership, however, they won’t have the authority to enforce the regional district’s new Responsible Dog Ownership Bylaw. Who doesn’t already know that you need to leash your dog and pick up after it?

Education isn’t the problem; enforcement is.

Here in Peachland, municipal bylaw officers can enforce off-leash dog activity in municipal parks, but the parks bylaw currently doesn’t allow them to fine dog owners for failure to pick up. That could change soon if a bylaw amendment soon to be presented for council consideration happens to include enforcement of failure to pick up, which we think it should.

While informational campaigns can’t hurt, I’m sure there are many Central Okanagan residents who would like to see more enforcement of both regional and municipal bylaws when it comes to failure to leash and failure to pick up after dogs.

It seems to me that as municipalities add more and more community facilities for dog owners, it is enforcement rather than education that needs to keep pace.

PEACHLAND VIEWS Hearing service dog impacts senior’s housing issues I’d like to address the lack of senior’s housing issues here in Peachland and in the Okanagan in general as I personally am aware. We are a majority not a minority as a senior population. We have chosen to remain in our homes, or to retire here from other cities throughout Canada, perhaps to enjoy the beauty and comforts the Okanagan affords us all.

My doctors have told me for years that I should seriously consider a warmer and drier climate than Vancouver, where I was born and raised. As lovely as Vancouver is, here again raises the issue of the lack of affordable seniors housing for myself certainly, and for other low-income seniors as well.

As I see it, there are no incentives in place for developers to pursue the construction of seniors housing by our current government or in grants or tax or property acquisitions throughout this province. I feel strongly the present government is lacking in its responsibilities to our most vulnerable of populations, including the senior population, single parents and low-income recipients with respect to housing, transportation options and services.

I have some serious health issues that restrict me in my daily living, and as a result I had to take early retirement for medical reasons. This left me in a very vulnerable position, unable to gain meaningful employment because of a severe hearing loss.

I was discriminated against by potential employers, landlords and others as I had to employ the use of a hearing assistance dog guide to maintain my safety and independence.

Landlords blatantly told me they do not accept a service dog guide unless I am blind or vision handicapped and they do not have to rent to me despite the provincial human rights legislation currently in place to protect landlords and tenants.

I have heard these words from charitable organizations, private housing land-

lords, property mangers at service clubs, and church and other housing providers. It has been a real battle to educate people in general that a person who has to rely upon a service dog guide for whatever their disability is should never have to face these barriers to housing, regardless of their income levels.

Today I am paying a whopping 75 per cent of my retirement income simply to have a roof over my head, and a suitable place that accommodates a service dog guide safely. This leaves me no choice but to pay this amount out monthly, and forgo the luxuries of having a social lifestyle where I can enjoy a dinner or movie night out. Trust me, those opportunities are very few and far between. I have offered my services over the years to many seniors’ organizations as a certified addictions and substance abuse counsellor, crisis centre and victim services counsellor, and as well a senior’s peer counsellor.

I have, as a disabled senior, worked actively involved with other B.C. emergency services groups, as well as being a volunteer amateur radio emergency communications operator in West Kelowna. I love to be involved in my community and serve those others in need wherever possible. Peachland is a wonderfully diverse community of sincere, friendly people. Wherever I travel with my service dog guide, Cher, I am always put at ease, made welcome, and have met some awesome new friends.

I am hopeful now that our Premier Christy Clark is planning to live in our community, she will meet her promise stated in April 2012 to address the most vulnerable populations of our province in listening to and addressing their needs in every level of government services. I am sorry to say she is now sadly falling very short of that in respect of our seniors, the disabled and single parents, as well as others in a low-income position.

How petitions such as The Right to Save Seeds can bear fruit Dan Albas Commentary

Early this week a group of concerned local citizens dropped off a petition to my Penticton office on “The Right to Save Seeds.” This petition, signed by 37 residents, is the second on this topic that I have received. On a related note, I was also asked recently how petitions work in the House of Commons and what happens to them once they have been tabled.

In order to be deemed valid in the House of Commons, a petition must be verified by the clerk of petitions – a process that has been in operation since roughly 1910, with some further

NOTICE OF SCHEDULED POWER INTERRUPTION

modification in 1986.

As a Member of Parliament, the petition I received this week will be forwarded to the clerk for verification. Guidelines for petitions can be found online, however it is important that petitions be addressed to the House of Commons and typically contain a statement identifying the petitioners and the issue in question that is the focus of the petition.

Once a petition has been verified by the clerk, it is returned to the Member of Parliament in question to be presented to the House of Commons.

Interestingly enough, a Member of Parliament is not required to present a verified petition and may decline to do so. In addition, there is no established time frame that is defined on when a petition may be presented following verification and likewise, once a petition has been verified it can be presented by any Member of Parliament, regardless if it was that

member or another MP who first submitted the petition for verification.

Generally, while I have observed it is not uncommon for different MPs to present petitions that may have been certified by a different MP, typically petitions are presented in a timely manner and most MPs, (myself included), consider it a duty to present petitions on behalf of citizens in our riding.

Verified petitions can be submitted during routine proceedings (when the House is in session) and while brief comments of a factual nature are allowed to present the petition, any supplementary comments or debate are not allowed and would be deemed out of order.

Petitions can also be presented to the House by being filed with the clerk directly. This often occurs on days when there are multiple members with petitions that exceed the 15-minute time frame that is set aside for petitions during

routine proceedings.

What happens once petitions are filed? Many people believe that once a petition has been presented to the House of Commons, the process is now complete. In reality, once a petition has been presented in the House, the clerk will forward the petition on to the Privy Council Office, who in turn will forward the petition to the relevant government ministry, which has 45 calendar days to respond.

Government responses to petitions are also generally tabled in the House of Commons during routine proceedings and the MP who presented the petition in the House will also typically receive a copy of the response.

It should also be noted that there are no parliamentary sanctions in the event the government fails to respond within the 45 days, a point that was raised extensively back in 1993, however, it is widely recognized that the established deadlines should be respected.

I view petitions as an important part of our democratic process.

Citizens should be free to request or oppose a course of action to government in a timely manner and expect a response. The principle of accountability and being heard is one that all elected officials should always be mindful of and that is why I welcome petitions and make every effort to have them verified and presented into the House of Commons in a timely manner.

More than 10,000 spectators expected to attend 17th annual Peachland World of Wheels car show

KATHY YORK Locally Born & Raised

Contributed The largest one-day event in Peachland will take place downtown this Sunday.

The World of Wheels Show & Shine is expected to bring out more than 10,000 spectators and 500-plus awesome classic and antique cars.

The Peachland World of Wheels car show event began in 1997 with approximately 100 antique and classic cars in downtown Peachland. The community event has grown to one of the largest car shows in the B.C. interior.

Peachland World of Wheels entrants

will begin registration at tables set up at 1st & 6th Avenue downtown at 7 a.m. and continue until 10:30 a.m.

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

Two live bands, The Regals and The Drifters, will perform throughout the car show.

A bouncy castle will be set up for kids.

There will be many vendors in Cousins Park and throughout downtown Peachland.

New this year will be some unique food vendors, including a European-style pig roast and Indian, American and California inspired fare. In addition, the Rotary and Lions Clubs will have hot dogs and

hamburgers available in Cousins Park, where there will also be seating available.

There will also be all the usual long weekend fare, such as ice cream, cold drinks and doughnuts.

The World of Wheels command centre will be located in Cousins Park for attendees looking for directions, information or first aid.

Limited edition World of Wheels tshirts will be on sale at Johnston Meier Insurance downtown as well as at the command centre.

“There will be motorcycles again this year, including vintage motorcycles,” World of Wheels committee chair Pam Cunningham said. “We will also have vintage boats on display in the downtown day wharf.”

In order to make way for World of Wheels, after midnight Saturday parking will not be allowed on Beach Avenue from the Peachland Museum through to 8th Street. Any vehicles left parked in the area Sunday morning will be towed away.

the event began. Cyr hung up his license last December, but is still involved with the business, through his clientele have now been passed on to realtor Troy Fischer, who will also take over two of the three main charitable fundraising events Cyr developed in Peachland to help give back to the community.

“He wanted to give back to the community because he’s built a very successful business,” Roger’s wife and business partner Susan Cyr told The View. “He originally talked to Al Wiebe about it and then just got started doing it.”

This year will be Fischer’s first and Cyr’s last year being involved with the car show shuttle service.

Since 2006, Cyr has also given back to the community through the annual paper shredding day event, where residents can bring sensitive paper documents to be securely shredded, with proceeds and donations going to the Peachland Food Bank.

“Peachland residents have come to rely upon that event,” Cyr said.

“This year it will take place on June 7 and Roger will be working it with Troy, but this will be Roger’s last year that he is involved and Troy will be taking it over from then, so he’s passing over the reins, including his community events.”

Cyr says over the years through these community events, he has raised tens of thousands of dollars for the local food bank.

Peachland

“I know he was considered to be one of the major fundraisers for the food bank,” Cyr said. “People have been very generous with the World of Wheels in terms of what they donated.”

The realtor also started the Count the Kokanee event as well, which was organized in conjunction with the regional district.

Cyr says visitors to the 2014 World of Wheels Show and Shine are invited to provide a spare change donation again this year to help the Peachland Food Bank.

A continuous shuttle bus service will run between Clements Crescent and the community centre from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. The last bus will leave the community centre at 4 p.m.

W Legion street party to replace beer garden at this year’s event Joanne Layh Peachland View

Thinking of Selling? Call Dave!

• Market updates • Customized marketing plan • Beach Ave office window • Complimentary Market Assessment Dave Collins 250-870-1444

www.davecollins.ca dcollins@coldwellbanker.ca

Late last week the local Royal Canadian Legion branch learned that they would not be e l i gible for a liquor license to host their annual beer garden during this year’s World of Wheels Show and Shine event, which means visitors to the car show will have to come inside if they want to enjoy a beer.

While lack of sales from the beer garden event will have an enormous impact on the legion’s fundraising objectives, the local branch decided

to continue on with an outdoor event this year, replacing the beer garden with a street party on Sunday, May 18, when 10,000-plus visitors will descend

upon Peachland for the annual car show event.

“It is true that the legion’s beer garden has been affected by recent corrections of what in the past has been an inconsistent application of local approvals of Special Occasion Licences.

The result: no licence for our annual Victoria Day street dance and beer garden,” the legion announced in a press release last Monday.

Legion branch president Jean Saul says the lack of license isn’t a result of the new legislation.

“I think we had fallen through the cracks

o v e r the past few years and they just issued it to us,” Saul told The View.

“We can-

n o t hold a license for a licensed premise like we do and then apply for a special occasion license for a street event, although we

“If the day is really warm, it can raise over $10,000 $15,000,” Saul said.

Now that they [the provincial government] have done the full review of all the liquor licensing laws, what happened is the liquor stores signed it off and the RCMP couldn’t,” Saul said.

ARTS & CULTURE | COMMUNITY

Over 180 quilts to be displayed at Quilting on Beach show Susan Driussi Special to the Peachland View The Pincushion Quilt Guild has, once again, made community quilts for the Kelowna Women’s Shelter.

Some of these are being delivered now, together with an assortment of toiletries and personal items, which are sorely needed.

The remainder of the quilts will be displayed at our quilt show in June before being delivered to the shelter.

The Pincushion Quilt Guild will host a raffle for a queen size quilt called Through the Woods, which was created by some of our guild members and custom quilted by Linda Schmidt. The draw will be held on June 8, with the proceeds benefiting the Kelowna Women’s Shelter.

Another quilt, started by one of our members, who has passed away, was completed and donated to the Peachland Wellness Centre. It was much appreciated by the Peachland Wellness Centre, who raffled it off to raise funds for the centre.

For our participation in the Hearts Festival in February, the guild challenged its members to make a mini quilt. The only rules were that it had to be 14” by 14”, incorporate a piece of fabric that was provided and contain at least one heart somewhere in the design. Nineteen original mini quilts were created and displayed as one large hanging, which made a diverse and stunning display. Many of these miniature heart quilts will be offered in a silent auction. Come and see this, and so much more, at the upcoming quilt show!

This year, we have added a new category to our quilt show called “fibre arts/other” so some interesting items will be shown for the first time. We look forward to having the Peachland Quilters join us to showcase some of their creations as well.

The Quilting on Beach quilt show will take place at the Peachland Community Centre June 7 - 8 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. With over 180 quilts on display, we promise that something will excite you.

Wellness Centre fundraising idea bears sold-out results Lynn Malinsky Special to the Peachland View Are you an arctophile by any chance? What is special about arctophiles is they are fond of teddy bears. Not so long ago, one resident teddy bear lover conceived the idea of selling hundreds of teddy bears to provide soft lovable teddy bears to promote wellness in our community.

Thanks to a group of people at the Peachland Wellness Centre (PWC), a bear idea conceived in 2010 became an annual fundraising project in 2012. Initially someone suggested Peachland could use a mascot.

The conversation moved from there to identifying that everyone has at one time or another owned a teddy bear or bought a teddy bear for someone. Soon enough people agreed that Peachland needed a bear, maybe a teddy bear wearing a shirt with a peach.

We all know people who like to put talk into action. Within a short period of time after the idea was conceived, Doris Muhs, known affectionately at PWC as “the teddy bear lady,” had moved 100 teddy bears into her home in Peachland.

At the same time, a group of volunteers emerged who offered to design, sew and print t-shirts for the adorable teddy bears. People in Peachland were excited about the idea and worked together to make an idea become a reality.

Soon the cute stuffed bears were selling like hotcakes at $20 each.

They were seen out and about at local events and sitting around on shelves at the PWC. The bears were sold locally and were readily purchased by visitors as a souvenir

of their visit to Peachland. People purchased them as gifts, as memorabilia and simply as cuddly companions for themselves. Before long, the bears were sold out.

The funds were used for developing local programs and services to promote the health and well-being of people in Peachland. This project however, was not just about raising money. It is a story about goodwill, fun and companionship while working on a worthwhile project for the benefit of our community.

Now, the bears are back and presenting in beachwear for the summer. A good idea does not just disappear and neither do the little stuffed bears. Muhs has once again adopted 100 little bears and invited them into her home and once again, a group of volunteers have stepped forward to dress the bears. The design and production team this year includes: Frances Bastiaanse (sweaters and toques), Margaret Martin (Christmas attire), Elaine Pollen (fancy dresses, wedding attire and athletic attire), and Madeline Skinner (beach outfits). The stand up paddle (SUP) boards were manufactured by Jerry Campbell and the surfboards were created by Dick Kitchen.

We are now looking for good homes for the teddy bears. If you have $20 to give, a high quality teddy bear in unique attire can go home with you for your own enjoyment or as a gift for some favourite person. All proceeds from the sales are for the PWC. For more information call 250-767-0141, email wellnesscentre@shaw.ca, check us out on Facebook or visit peachlandwellnesscentre.ca.

HERE FOR SENIORS Catering to the fine senior citizens of Peachland

Cooking for one or two Seniors face many changes as they move into their golden years.

Downsizing living spaces and vehicles is common, as is implementing certain changes to improve quality of life. Many seniors also scale back in the kitchen, where some must make changes because of medical conditions. While it seems like reducing food portions would be easy, those used to prepping meals for a large family may find it difficult. The following tips can make meal preparation efficient and cost-effective.

• Divide and store.

Supermarkets are increasingly offering larger packages of food products as well as “family size” offerings to compete with warehouse clubs.

Buying in bulk can help individuals save money, but it may not always be practical for people living alone or with just a spouse. If you must buy in bulk, invest in a food vacuum sealer or freezer storage bags.

Immediately separate meats and poultry into smaller portions before storing them in the freezer. Otherwise, look for bulk items that are individually wrapped to maintain freshness.

Many canned and jarred items can be covered and stored in the refrigerator after containers are opened.

• Plan meals with similar ingredients. To reduce food waste, use leftovers to create casseroles or mix them in with new meals. Broiled or grilled chicken can be used to make soups, stir-fry dishes, fajitas, and sandwiches.

The fewer ingredients you have to buy, the smaller the risk of spoilage.

• Cut recipes in half. Recipes can be cut down depending on how many mouths need to be fed. When baking, cutting back

on proportions of ingredients can be challenging. Search online for recipe-scaling programs that can make the work easier.

• Cook on the weekend. Use a weekend day to prepare food and package it into small containers in the refrigerator or freezer. Then the containers can be taken out as needed and heated quickly in the microwave for fast meals.

• Organize a mealsharing club. Get together with a few friends who also have empty nests and split cooking duties. If you’re accustomed to cooking larger portion sizes, do so and then spread the wealth with others in the group. Then sit back and relax when it is your opportunity to have meals delivered to you.

The reasons to come see us are totally inspiring.

Inspiration takes many forms. Whether you play Bach or Chopsticks, staying connected to your love of music is a great reason to get your hearing checked.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

Can suffering teach us anything?

I’m not a fan of pain.

in a car accident. I really don’t like pain.

Unfortunately, pain is unavoidable. Whether it’s a hangnail, a curling iron burn, or something far more devastating like a terminal illness, pain catches us unawares. It demands our attention, interrupts our routines, and at its most mundane is still considered pretty much a complete nuisance.

Of course, we’ll do anything to try to avoid pain. Our western world has done a remarkable job of pushing suffer-

ing to the sidelines. We have gotten ourselves rich, and we’ve spent our money on technologies that remove as much risk or burden from our lives as possible.

Ironically, try as we might, our attempts have not kept pain at bay. We’re terrified of aging, dying and living anything less than a completely healthy life.

Yet, at the end of the day, people still suffer, age, and, well, we’re all going to die.

It seems essential, then, that we somehow

come to terms with suffering. It’s part of the human condition and it will be with us as long as we’re alive. Perspective is everything, so it’s helpful to come to terms with how suffering is beneficial for us.

Here are three things that come to mind, from my perspective as a pastor: Suffering suggests that there is something wrong with the world.

The world is beautiful, but broken. Pain is a symptom of the brokenness we see around us. Good people suffer.

Responsible people have accidents.

Formerly healthy people get ill.

That’s just not right.

How is this knowledge beneficial to us? It wakes us up to our surroundings, which in turn makes our world bigger.

Pain, if we allow it, can rescue us from living life as if we’re immortal and give us a clear perspective on the preciousness of life and the importance of living in the present.

Pain alerts us to the injustices in the lives of others, urging us to be advocates for those who are suffering. Being aware of a broken world through pain reminds us of our own frailty, which can bring out our compassion towards others.

Suffering develops character.

James wrote a letter to encourage Christians.

He begins the letter by telling his readers to “consider it pure joy” when they face trials of many kinds. He suggests that trials are what form

us into the people we are.

Pain produces character. In fact, character might not be able to develop without some kind of crisis or suffering.

Our true colours come out at times of suffering.

We can learn a lot about ourselves when we’re in pain. James suggests that this is actually a good thing. At the end of the day, it’s not suffering that defines us, but what we did with the suffering.

Suffering doesn’t have the last word.

Christians are committed to following a God who suffered. It was Jesus himself that suggested if people wanted to emulate him, they would have to pick up their cross at some point along the journey. In other words, the Christian life was not to be a bed of roses, but a crown of thorns. Suffering is part of the equation.

Yet this suffering had a purpose. Easter would not be Easter without a resurrection. Hope is formed because death and suffering don’t have the last word; God does.

Christians believe that Jesus conquered death, giving hope that, regardless of whatever trials come their way, real life will still win the day.

And resurrection themes continue to prevail today. Pain and suffering does not have to have the last word.

Suffering doesn’t have to define our experiences.

Beauty can rise out of the most painful circumstances, if we choose to be on the lookout for it.
