Peachland won’t provide water to proposed marijuana grow-op TREVOR NICHOLS

REGIONAL REPORTER

tnichols@aberdeenpublishing.com

West Kelowna residents looking to use Peachland’s water for a medical marijuana production facility will have to look elsewhere, after council refused to support an application to rezone their property. The property sits at 4713 MacKinnon Rd., connected to the District of Peachland via a tunnel under the Coquihalla Highway. Although technically part of the District of West Kelowna, Peachland has provided the residence with domestic water since 2004. On Nov. 10, council reviewed an application from West Kelowna asking to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 0154 to allow “commercial medical marijuana production” on the property. But Director of Planning and Development Services Cory Gain told council there are several glaring issues with the application. The first, and most obvious, is that the contract signed in 2004 expressly forbids any such use. The Land Title Act Section 219 Covenant setting out the terms under which Peachland will provide water to the property says the water cannot be used for agricultural, commercial or industrial purposes. Peachland also passed a policy in 2012 stating that if anyone outside municipal boundaries requests services they have to join the District of Peachland to get them. The application makes no mention

of any plans for the property owners to do that. On top of that, dramatically increasing the amount of water going to the property presents several operations and fire safety concerns. Director of Operations Joe Mitchell explained the property sits significantly higher than the rest of Peachland’s water system, meaning the potential exists for contamination through a cross connec-

tion. “If a hose up on this property were to somehow get into a barrel of water or something like that that is contaminated, this water would siphon down through that hose, down into our water system and cause problems,” he said. “It’s definitely a concern for us.” The fire department also raised concerns, saying fire protection for the property would be difficult based on the

limited water supply and its distance from the fire hall. While Coun. Keith Thom said the District of Peachland’s revenue for providing water to the property would go up with increased use, both Gain and Mitchell said getting to a point where that would actually be possible would be extremely expensive and time consuming. Mayor Cindy Fortin stressed council’s refusal to support the application had nothing to do with the facility growing marijuana, and was simply about the myriad of legal and operational concerns the plan presented. Couns. Pam Cunningham and Peter Schierbeck echoed her sentiments. “This is a prime example of no good deed ever goes unpunished,” said Coun. Terry Condon, mentioning that the property is physically separated from the rest of town by a tunnel and “don’t-come-in kind of gate.” “I can see no reason at all to support this request.” Gain said she couldn’t say for sure why the application was submitted when the Section 219 Covenant clearly forbids this type of use, but guessed it had something to do with the nature of the proposed project. “I expect that it is, as is always the case…perhaps they feel they had a significantly interesting opportunity to persuade us to consider them.” In response to a question from council, she added that if West Kelowna decided to allow the project to proceed despite Peachland’s opposition, the district could simply shut off water to the property.

Peachland Chamber of Commerce honours local realtor ERIN CHRISTIE EDITOR

editor@peachlandview.com

If you’re the type who gets nervous when speaking in front of an audience, Bill Dupuis has some advice for you. “Picture the audience naked,” he says, and the fear will subside. Unless you’re him. “I didn’t expect to be up here, so I’m using the old adage of picturing you all naked. And I gotta tell you, it’s not pretty,” Dupuis jovially told the audience of 190 local business owners and community leaders gathered at the Peachland Community Centre for the Peachland Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards on Nov. 14. The 78-year-old retired realtor was presented with the chamber’s first lifetime achievement award, which aims to recognize someone who has made the community a better place to work, live, play and conduct business. The award, which was presented by chamber President Dave Collins, was preceded by a brief slide show celebrating Dupuis’s career and numerous contributions to the community. “You really know how to get a guy choked up,” an emotional Dupuis told Collins as the slide show concluded. “I really don’t know what else to say except thank you,” he added as the audience leapt to their feet in a standing ovation. Dupuis’s daughter, Nancy McDonald, who owns and operates The Blind Angler, one of the event’s sponsors, was equally emotional that evening and spoke to The View on Nov. 17. “He’s just a really kind man,” McDonald said.

as the 2015 Business People of the Year, edging out Sam Vong of Dragon Lotus Restaurant, Steve Allison of TNI and Kelly and Graham Todd of Todd’s RV & Camping. The Rising Star award went to Peachland Chiropractic and Massage Therapy, which was represented by registered massage therapist Catherin Gnius. The practice was vying with Peachland Sushi, Hangar 9, Activated Fitness and Hearthstone B&B for the title. Todd’s RV & Camping, a Peachland draw for more than a decade, took this year’s Excellence in Tourism Award. The runners-up included Pineacre on the Lake, Okanagan Oasis B&B, World of Wheels and popular night spot The Edgewater Pub. See CHAMBER on page 12

Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose.”

Right before I jumped up and screamed like an overzealous contestant on The Price is Right our MP leaned over and said, “If you give me your camera I will be happy to take a photo for you when they call you up.” I just smiled and said, “Nah, that won’t be necessary.” That’s how sure I was that I wouldn’t hear the paper’s name called out during the Business Excellence Awards on Saturday night. I was wrong. In a list of finalists that included beloved local musician Keith “Papa” Thom, the multi-talented members of the Peachland Community Arts Council, the innovative mind behind Pen2Paper, Darlene Hartford and the popular Peachland Farmer’s Market, the Peachland View was selected to take home the award for excellence in the Creative Sector. We couldn’t be more proud or more grateful for the recognition. Unlike my coworkers, who sat at our table beaming, I leapt from my seat at the front of the room where I had been poised to take photos of the award recipients, and ran, shrieking with unbridled joy, back to the table bouncing around like a chipmunk on speed. Apparently I also may have bear hugged (read: tackled) a few people on the way, and nearly yanked our office administrator Annick’s arm out of its socket dragging her to the front to get our photo taken.

I say “apparently” because when I’m that happy, I am just in the moment – not really thinking at all. Those kind of moments always go by in a flash. Now it’s business as usual. We’re all running around doing our parts to get the next paper out. But as stressed out as we are – we’re still smiling. And ridiculous as it was, I like to think my reaction on Saturday encapsulates how we are feeling. I’m trying very hard not to sound like I’m boasting, or making too big a deal because my mom taught me it was classier to downplay these things – after you run screaming around a room full of people, that is. Now I’m speaking exclusively for myself when I say receiving recognition for our work felt almost like a relief. We all strive to keep our paper interesting and even a little bit quirky – but at times, like anything else, it can be a struggle. Sometimes Mike and I don’t agree on things, and quite honestly, at times, I know I am huge pain in the butt about some things. And I rarely apologize for it because I am fantastically stubborn, just like Trevor. Sometimes Annick’s kids are sick, so she brings them in and we make a bed in the back and Annick works so she doesn’t fall behind. Bryce walked around hunched over for days because he had a sore back and didn’t want to take time for himself to see a doctor – until we made him. In January, when the power went out, we had

to stop production of the newspaper and take our equipment to our accounting office in West Kelowna to put the paper out from there. Last spring I became unexpectedly ill and had to stay home for a week – which in this business, can feel like an eternity! An editor from one of our sister papers stepped up and filled in for me – no questions. He just did it, and even though it was in the middle of a news cycle, my coworkers jumped in and helped him put the paper out. When you’re a small staff like we are, you find yourself doing things you normally don’t do in an office. Your lunch gets eaten by a coworker’s visiting dog, you work late hours, you work weekends, sometimes you get hate mail (it has happened – but not often), you clean the office bathroom, you take turns making coffee and doing dishes, and sometimes you help look after a sick kid – sort of like a weird, little family. But you know, for all that I wouldn’t change a thing. I’ve been part of a few different “weird little families” and this is my favourite one. So when I say I feel relief, I mean that struggles aside, our goal remains the same – to put out a great paper. So, from the very bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who thought of us when filling out those ballots this summer. Thank you for including us and for continuing to support us. This award, to me, isn’t the end, it’s the beginning. It tells us we might be getting it right, and I promise you, we’ll only get better.

A reader’s thoughts on a sad and terrible evening CONTRIBUTED A series of deadly attacks in Paris by gunmen and suicide bombers on Nov. 13 hit a concert hall, a major stadium, restaurants and bars almost simultaneously, leaving at least 129 people dead and hundreds wounded.

At approximately 9 p.m., a police officer shot one of the gunmen, and his suicide belt detonated. The siege ended with the other two blowing themselves up. Two of the bombers have since been identified. The third man has yet to be named. Here, one of our readers reflects on this tragedy.

I attended the ceremony at the cenotaph where a small group of seven veterans paid tribute to their fallen comrades. Even though we gather for Remembrance Day every year and it is always an emotional experience, this one particularly impacted me. Perhaps it was because this time I had nothing to rush off to, therefore my mind was very present in the moment. As each veteran slowly and solemnly walked to the monument and laid their wreaths, I was trying to imagine what each

email editor@peachlandview.com

I will remember... one might be feeling as they thought of the horrors of the war they were in, the friends and/or family that would never be coming back or other painful thoughts or feelings never expressed. By time the piper played Amazing Grace and a veteran read In Flanders Fields, I was very overwhelmed. Perhaps having just returned from Italy where we visited two huge war veteran’s cemeteries and looking out over the numerous white crosses, reading the deceased names and ages on the

crosses had something to do with feeling overwhelmed at this ceremony. What impacted me the most, I think, was the large number of young and older people at the cenotaph, the young families who brought their children, the respect shown to the veterans from these young families as well as the older people who came to them to shake their hand and say “thank you.” Tricia Darby, Peachland

Respectful in remembrance A few days prior to Remembrance Day, I heard a story about Peachland’s new street signage remembering your fallen veterans. It prompted me to forego my annual pilgrimage to our cenotaph, and observe Remembrance Day with you. I left Kelowna at 10 a.m. driving past City Park and observed that the temporary grandstands were already filling up. I parked along the lakeshore several blocks from your cenotaph, and walked towards it passing these sombre, yet beautiful tributes to your soldiers on lamp posts. I recalled my own family’s military heritage and became aware of the many golden maple leaves lying on the sidewalk near Swimmers Beach. I carefully avoided stepping on any, feeling that to me, they now represented our fallen and deserved a symbolic reprieve from being carelessly trodden upon. I heard bag pipes, yet saw no activity near the memorial. It was your hardware store playing the music, and it felt right, and it felt like community. I drew near to the cenotaph at the appointed hour and shared, along with a few hundred, the brief ceremony as a piper resplendent in tartan set the mood under a half-staffed but sun-lit Canadian flag. As my childhood was spent

singing God Save the Queen in school and saluting our Union Jack, I wished it could be there, too, as it was when our older servicemen and servicewomen pledged themselves to duty. Old men laid wreaths and one Second World War campaigner soon offered up Col. McRae’s In Flanders Fields for those near enough to hear his aged un-

miked voice. I felt it more than heard it. I understood again the perfection of the piece in setting a standard of what is honourable in those that serve, and those left to remember their sacrifice and legacy. We are Canada in no small part because of all who stood and who still stand for the right to live free ourselves and for the safety and freedom of global neighbours.

Your small town allowed me to be close enough to the monument to see what happens as the pipes fade. Many lined up adding their lapel poppies to wreaths laid by others. Having been many rows back for many Remembrance Days in Kelowna, I had never witnessed this emotional sharing of gratitude for un-met heroes, and was touched. One lady

stepped up to place a framed photo of an old man at the foot of the cenotaph, and then stood back to reflect. It may have been her father, uncle, or grandfather. As the pace of poppies being added to the wreaths

slowed, I found myself compelled to place my life’s first offered poppy for this man. I tucked it inside the frame, thanked him for his service, and walked towards my vehicle avoiding stepping on any fallen maple

ipal sidewalks up for the winter, but must remove temporary wooden sidewalks. That is the latest edict from the District of Peachland, after the issue of businesses’ temporary sidewalk coverings came before council once again on Nov. 10. Last month, council voted to extend its sidewalk encroachment agreements with businesses, allowing them to leave their pergolas up over the winter, so staff

could collect information on how feasible having the structures up year-round would be. Council’s expectation was that the temporary coverings would be left up, but the wooden sidewalks allowing pedestrians to walk around the outdoor seating areas would be removed. But they learned the hard way the complications of “handshake agreements.” As the director of planning and de-

velopment services, Cory Gain, explained at the Nov. 10 Committee of the Whole meeting, council’s resolution to extend the encroachment agreements necessitated the temporary sidewalks be left up as well because everything is part of the same agreement. “We don’t have the ability to simply pick and choose pieces from that legal document,” she said. Nevertheless, council felt the wooden

sidewalks were a safety risk, and asked Gain to come up with a solution by that evening’s regular council meeting. Gain did so, but reminded council that staff still had “grave concerns about people walking underneath the pergolas in winter conditions.” At the meeting, council passed Gain’s hastily-created motion rescinding their previous directions and forcing businesses to remove the temporary sidewalks while leaving the sidewalk coverings up – so long as they don’t use the space for seating. “I do think that the

approach taken here is a lot better than the one we took a couple of weeks ago,” Coun. Terry Condon said after the vote. “Perhaps we should be a little more careful when we reach these types of agreements on a handshake basis.” Couns. Mike Kent and Mario Vucinovic voted against the resolution. Kent, who also voted in opposition to the Oct. 13 resolution, reiterated his belief that a more permanent solution is needed. “These are structures that are temporary, that are intended to be in place during dry, summer conditions.

Vucinovic said he believed council originally passed the resolution to appease business owners, and agreed on the need for a more permanent solution. After passing the vote, council also appointed Couns. Condon, Kent and Thom to a sidewalk encroachment committee to work with staff and business owners and collect information on the pilot project.

Council Briefs

Solid waste contract extension Council agreed to extend the residential garbage, recyclables and yard waste collection contract with OK Environmental Waste Systems for three more years. Peachland and other nearby regions signed a contract with OK Environmental in 2008. The contract will end in 2016, but can be renewed until 2019. Director of Operations Joe Mitchell explained that service from the contractor has been “quite good,” and that putting waste collection back up for tender would almost certainly yield a more expensive contract, as the current low rates were negotiated with the combined negotiating power of several local governments.

Development variance approved Council approved a development variance permit that will allow the owners of the property at 5093 Cousins Place to construct a multi-story building with a garage on bottom storage and office space above. The variance will allow the owners to increase the height of the building from 5 metres to 7.57 metres. A staff review found that a higher building won’t negatively impact the surrounding properties, as the building sits against an unconstructed portion of Cousins Road water reservoir and Crown land. The district received no comment from surrounding property owners, and no one spoke in opposition at the Nov. 10 regular council meeting.

TEN-YEAR-OLD MAKAYLA BERRY donates $400 of her own money to the Peachland food bank.

Local girl donates $400 to foodbank ERIN CHRISTIE EDITOR

While the average 10-year-old child might be saving their allowance and birthday money for the latest iProduct or video game, Makayla Berry practices fiscal responsibility for a different reason. For the past year the Peachland girl has been collecting bottles from friends and neighbours, sorting them at the West Kelowna bottle dept and collecting the cash, most of which she later donates to the Peachland Food Bank. As of Nov. 16, the young girl has donated a total of $700 to the food bank. Her mother, Amy, who accompanies her young daughter on her collection route and visits to the depot, says she and Makayla deliver bottles to the depot roughly every three weeks, earning $100 each trip. Each time Makayla

sets 90 per cent of her proceeds aside to save for a food bank donation and keeps 10 per cent as her spending money. “She paid for her haircut, she pays for her and her friends to go the movie and she chips in for gas when we go to the depot,” Amy told The View on Nov. 13. “She’s pretty independent,” Amy added, recalling a back-toschool shopping trip in Sept. “We were in a store and she brought $200 to shop with,” she explained. “I was so proud when she picked up a pair of jeans and said ‘What?! $75! They’re definitely not worth that much, we’re going somewhere else!’” “She’s learning the value of a dollar while doing something to help others. I’m really proud of her,” Amy said, smiling. For Makayla, who saved enough to make a donation of $400 to the food bank on Nov. 16 – bringing her total

to $700. Her self-imposed fundraising goal was $500. “It feels good to help,” Makayla said after handing cash over to food bank volunteer Gayle Thomas. “Plus, Christmas is coming so it’s a good time to put other people before myself.

Thomas says the money will be used to purchase items needed for the holiday food hampers. To donate bottles to Makayla for her collection contact Amy Berry at 250-718-2988 or drop them off at The View office between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Council approved a $15,204 roof replacement for the Peachland Museum. Because the original estimate of the project’s cost was done two years ago, the quote for the roof’s repair came in $9,000 more expensive than expected. According to Cheryl Wiebe, the district’s director of community services, this year’s facilities spending came in under budget, so the increased roof cost won’t have any negative financial impact to the district.

Senior’s Housing Society expenses covered Council approved giving $1,500 in additional funding to the Senior’s Housing Society to cover unanticipated expenses of putting together a proposal for the seniors’ housing grant. The unanticipated expenses associated with the proposal arose from the need for a commercial appraisal, and the need to attend a meeting in person to answer questions from BC Housing. Peachland’s chief administrative officer Elsie Lemke told council since the project has now received provincial funding “there shouldn’t be any more cost for this project in the immediate future.”

Enter the world of Narnia with the Peachland Players ERIN CHRISTIE EDITOR

editor@peachlandview.com

Walk through the wardrobe and prepare for an adventure. When Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy stumble upon an enchanted wardrobe in an old country mansion, they discover that it’s a gateway to another world: a world where animals speak and mythical creatures roam. A magical world called Narnia, which is making its way to the 4th Street stage in Peachland on Nov. 25.

The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, directed by Gisela Jackson and produced by Margaret Martin, is based on the beloved fantasy novel by C.S. Lewis, and has been adapted for the stage, in this instance, by Tony award-winning author Joseph Robinette. The cast includes approximately 20 actors and actresses of varying ages and backgrounds. Leading the troupe are actresses Paige Clifton (Lucy Pevensie), Laura Jenkins (Susan Pevensie), Noah McMartin (Peter Pevensie), Cameron Verrier (Edmund Pevensie),

peachlandchiropractic.ca

Rick Wood (Father Christmas) and Diana Freshette, in the plum role of the infamous White Witch. To bring this tale to life in a small venue, like 4th Street, publicity/communications officer Rhoda Weisgarber told The View the troupe performs in a theatre-in-the-round style with the audience surrounding the stage area, which is in the centre of the room. “It’s more intimate that way,” she explained. “You wouldn’t believe it but it really does turn into a real stage. It looks quite good,” she added. Weisgarber said the cast and crew has been preparing for months and with less than three weeks to go, they are anxious to

perform. The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe will be performing at 4th Street Place in Peachland Nov. 25, 25, and 27 at 7 p.m. and on Nov. 28 and 29 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students, and can be purchased at Peachland Pharmacy, the UPS Store in West Kelowna or the door on performance nights if still available. The Peachland Players are a community theatre company serving Peachland and West Kelowna, from which it draws its actors and audiences. It was founded by Bill Bennett and formed in 1988 in Peachland with the vision of bringing live theatre to the Westside.

Thank you for honouring us with a Business Award, and congratulations to the other winners and nominees!

PEACHLAND VIEW

In the Excellence in Trades category, Denise and Chris Krahn of Westside Curb Appeal were applauded for their accomplishments in home design and renovation. Also considered for the award were Dunamis Projects, DJ Plumbing, ASME and Down Under Irrigation. The Excellence in Retail award went to Tim Stubbert of Ace Hardware, though Stubbert was not available to accept the award and Dave Collins stood in for the popular business owner and received the award from chamber director Larry Guilbault, on Stubbert’s behalf. Other nominated retail outlets included IGA, On Beach Boutique, Lanai Ladies Boutique and Déjà Vu. With retail comes customer service, and though Lakeside Autocare technically is not classified as a retail outlet, its owners, Frank and Laurie Kouwenhoven, were recognized for their outstanding customer service with the Excellence in Service Award. Nominated along with the Kouwenhovens for their award-worthy service were Peachland Dental, Johnston Meier Insurance, Karen’s Place and Chico’s Paradise. The Business of the Year award went to Dragon Lotus Restaurant, which was up against Peachland Pharmacy, the Blind Angler Grill, TNI Effective Printing and Beach Avenue Café and Tapas. Steve Allison was saluted for his numerous contributions to the community on behalf of TNI Effective Printing this year with the Community Booster Award. Among Allison’s most notable contributions is the donation of an electronic scoreboard, which will be installed at Cousins Park this winter. Other community boosters included the Peachland Wellness Centre, the Peachland Lions Club, Homestead Organic Farm and the

Peachland Rotary Club. The coveted Restaurant of the Year award went to a popular Beach Avenue spot, The Gasthaus on the Lake. Runners up included the Blind Angler Grill, Dragon Lotus Restaurant, Bliss Bakery and Beach Avenue Café and Tapas. The Peachland Community Arts Council, Pen2Paper, Papa Thom, the Peachland Farmer’s Market and the Peachland View were each considered for the Excellence in the Creative Sector award. Ultimately, the Peachland View received the nod. In regard to the evening itself, chamber director and lead organizer of the sold-out event Patrick Van Minsel said he considered it a huge success, and points to some of the changes made to the event by the organizing committee as the key contributing factor. “We wanted it to feel more like a party this year,” Van Minsel told The View on Nov. 17. “And I think it worked because we got great feedback.” When you think about it, he added, “it should feel more like a party. We want people to come and celebrate Peachland. That’s what it’s about.” Van Minsel said, moving forward, he and the organizers would like steer clear of the “winner/loser” mindset. “Everyone is a winner. It’s about recognizing all the businesses, and just because a business didn’t get an award, doesn’t make them any less successful or worthy,” he continued. “I think moving forward we won’t use the phrase ‘and the winner is.’ I think we might change it to recipient. I think it’s more appropriate. Because all of our businesses are winners.” The awards night was sponsored by a number of businesses this year, including FortisBC, the Blind Angler Grill and YLW. Funds raised from the ticket sales will support the Peachland Chamber of Commerce.

ARTS & CULTURE PEACHLAND COMMUNITY ARTS COUNCIL ARTIST OF THE MONTH

Dian Tompkin loves painting with acrylics Born in Vancouver, Dian Tompkin moved to the Okanagan with her husband five years ago to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Tompkin immediately joined the Peachland Art Group and started painting with acrylics. Prior to that she had taken a few watercolour courses offered at night school. As a result, Tompkin found herself dabbling in painting besides being a wife, a mother of three, a practical nurse, a medical office assistant, and store owner and manager. Tompkin developed her art skill by attending a series of painting workshops put on by the Peachland Art Group every year as well as from the interaction of members helping each other. She loves Peachland, loves painting and has a rich family life! Dian Tompkin is also very active in the community. This is her second year of being president of the Peachland Art Group and as a director of the Peachland Community Arts Council she has also been writing a column once a month in the Peachland View called The Arts Scene. Her paintings can also be viewed on the Peachland Community Arts Council website at www.pcartscouncil.com/ artist_of_the_month.

BOOKS

New programs and events at the library this month LISA JURASSOVICH CONTRIBUTOR

The month of November brings Remembrance Day to mind where we remember the hard working Canadians who have fought to keep our country safe. For those who are history buffs, or just want to learn more about Canada’s role in the World Wars, the library is a good place to look. This month, the Peachland Branch of the Okanagan Regional Library is co-sponsoring an event with the Peachland Community Arts Council. Elinor Florence, the author of the novel Bird’s Eye View will be doing an entertaining talk and slide show of vintage war photography and speak on how she became interested in wartime history, aerial photography, and the contributions made by Canadian women to the war effort. The event will be held at 7 p.m.

this Saturday, Nov. 21 at the Peachland Historic Primary School in the Mary Smith Hall. Refreshments will be served. 50 free tickets will be distributed through the library and the arts council. If Elinor’s talk inspires you to learn more about the World Wars, the library has many good print and video resources to expand on the subjects of her talk. For example, the four-volume DVD set Canada at War or the 11-volume set of The World at War gives tons of information about many of the different battles Canada participated in and displays important archived photos of those events. For those who are younger, the series by John Wilson such as Desperate Glory: The Story of WWI gives a great overview of information in a more simplified form. For something more fictional or cinematic try the feature film War Horse.

Other new and exciting events happening this month include a pre-holiday cookie swap Nov. 25 from 11 a.m. to noon. This event gives you the ability to try different cookies and get new recipes and ideas just in time for all that holiday baking. Have you ever looked through a yummy dessert cookbook and thought: “That looks good but I wish I could try it out to see if it’s worth making?” The cookie swap lets you do just that! We can’t wait to see all the tips and tricks on baking that will be swapped, discussed and shared. All ages and skill levels welcome. Call 250767-9111 or drop by the library to sign up. Don’t be shy! This month’s book club will be held on Nov. 26 from 3 to 4 p.m. The book featured is the international bestseller The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules by Swed-

ish author Catharina Ingelman-Sundberg. It’s a quirky, humourous crime novel that shows us that even though we all grow old we don’t have to stop being mischievous or stop having fun. It is reminiscent of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. For those interested in reading the novel order in your copy today from the library and join us on that date! The book pick of the month is The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It is the first book in the Kingkiller Chronicle trilogy. If you like the hero fantasy genre and books like the classic Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan this book will be for you! I hope to see some new faces and some library regulars at a few of these new and upcoming programs and events. Lisa Jurassovich is the Peachland Community Librarian.

West Kelowna Tiger Cats lose conference trophy to Kelowna Lions

JEN SCOTT

CONTRIBUTOR The peewee West Kelowna Tiger Cats and the Kelowna Lions arrived wearing toques and rain gear on a damp and blustery Sunday morning at the CNC ready to compete for the Southern Interior Football Conference’s first place trophy. The Lions opened the game with a kickoff to the Tiger Cats that they managed to recover. But the TiCats’ defense held their ground and managed to gain control of the ball after a Lion’s fumble. West Kelowna’s offense dug in hard, and ran

in the first touchdown of the game, completing the twopoint conversion. Both teams, impacted by the slippery field and the wet ball, struggled to make progress on the field, but the Lions persevered, gaining their first touchdown before the end of the first quarter, making the score 6-8. The second quarter opened with the Lions putting another touchdown on the board, followed by three more, with one successful twopoint conversion. The Tiger Cats’ offense couldn’t make any progress on the field, fumbling the

ball twice. By halftime, the score sat at 26-8.

The Tiger Cats’ continued to struggle during the second half of the game. Kelowna, pumped up by their lead, brought in two more touchdowns in the third quarter. West Kelowna continued to push on, finally running in a second touchdown at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but the Lions countered with a seventh

and final touchdown. The final score of the day was 44-14.

The West Kelowna Tiger Cats played a season to be proud

of and walked tall as they met the Kelowna Lions to shake hands, audibly congratulating them on their win. The peewee Kelowna Lions advance on to the British Columbia Community Football Association’s Championship Tournament Nov. 21 in Kamloops. The West Kelowna Tiger Cats’ players, families and friends wish the Kelowna Lions the best of luck at the tournament!
