Peachland Art Gallery name has historical significance

PM

Erin Christie / Peachland View Mary Smith always loved to create, and in 1955 she founded the Peachland Arts Group so that other local art lovers could come together to share that passion.

So when the Peachland Community Arts Council needed a name for their long awaited gallery space in the Peachland Historic Yellow Schoolhouse on Beach Avenue, PCAC president Deborah Livingstone says Smith was a natural choice.

“She contributed a lot the community,” Livingstone told The View after the gallery’s opening reception on October 17.

“She designed the mayor’s chain of office, the Peachland flag – she did a

lot and we wanted to honour that.”

In addition to naming the gallery after her, the PCAC chose to hang a photo of her at the gallery’s entrance to commemorate her memory. For the opening, Smith’s son, Richard, a well known artist and historian, was on hand to cut the ceremonial ribbon and offically open the gallery.

Livingstone said the gallery has been in the works for more than a year, but Friday evening’s event made it all worth it.

“We all worked for so long to get this space so for some of us it was very emotional to see it all come together. But the evening went so well, and there was so much support in that room. We were very pleased.”

“We want the space to be available for the arts,” she explained, adding that the arts council will also be bringing a piano on site for permanent use within the next few months, if not sooner.

She said the gallery will be used for literary events, small musical concerts, workshops, exhibits and other arts related events.

The inaugural exhibit, which includes 46 pieces from 18 Okanagan artists, including several Peachlanders, will run until December 15. After that it will be decorated for the holidays, she added.

Livingstone told The View the PCAC is planning to host a brand new exhibit in January and hopes to book new shows every eight weeks.

No date yet for Preston trial

For those wondering what’s happening with troubled Peachland journalist David Preston, there aren’t any clear answers yet.

Preston, who was scheduled to appear in court on October 8 to set a trial date, was deferred and now awaiting a new date to set the trial date.

A search warrant permitting members of the the B.C. Integrated Child Exploitation (ICE) unit to search Preston’s home for child exploitation offences was executed during the week of June 24, 2013.

The B.C. ICE unit, based in Surrey, specialises in investigating internet facilitated offences against children.

The investigation identified evidence pertaining to a number of electronic devices at the residence which were seized and subsequently analysed, providing sufficient evidence for Crown to recently recommend criminal charges for making child pornography, making available child pornography and possession of child pornography.

Preston, who founded Peachland News, a locally based online publication, published his last story on June 27, 2013, stating that he was unable to continue updating the site due to personal issues.

“Several times in my life I thought I found the bottom of the barrel, but this time I discovered the barrel had a sub-basement,” he wrote in his final post.

Teach your children fire safety

Lyonel Doherty / Special to the Peachland View

Mike Rieger Graphic Designer

Annick Stoltz

Fire is fascinating to children.

I know it was for me when I was a kid, burning ants with my magnifying glass, and lighting the fuse of miniature rockets made from cigarette foil and matchsticks.

Luckily I never burned our house down or got trapped by fire.

This brings me to the tragic death of Cody O’Connor in Oliver last year. It’s hard to speculate what he was doing in the motorhome, but fire officials believe it had something to do with matches.

Like fire chiefs across B.C., we can’t stress enough the importance of teaching your children about fire safety.

Playing with matches is a classic example. I did it all the time without my parents knowing, and without me realizing how dangerous it was.

Fire Prevention Week has passed, but it’s always a good time to teach your kids that fire is not to be fooled with.

Show them a video on YouTube about the dangers of fire and how

quickly a match can cause great devastation and sorrow.

It’s also a good time to check your smoke alarms to ensure they are working. Involve your children in this task, and discuss a “get out alive” plan with your kids.

Pretend there is a fire in your house and act out what you should do in that situation. A child should know how to get out his or her room safely in the event of a fire. Do they know where to meet outside? Do they know they should never look for the family pet during a fire? Do they know to crawl low to the floor when there is a lot of smoke?

Your children should know all of this so they don’t panic when a real fire breaks out. You keep thinking it will never happen to you until it does.

We’re not going to bore you with statistics, because we all know that too many fires occur at the hands of curious children.

But the more we educate kids about fire, the more we don’t have to read these sad stories and attend funerals for children who are dying way too young.

PEACHLAND VIEWS Family is very grateful for art gallery The Smith family is very grateful to the Peachland Arts Council for all their efforts and time to develop an excellent gallery in the Peachland Primary School. The invitational grand opening with wine and cheese on Friday, October 17 was very well attended and the potential for future shows was obvious.

My mother would be very pleased that the hall was named in her memory: the Mary Smith Hall. She spent most of fifty years dedicated to the arts in this community. Good luck to the arts council and all the wonderful things they are doing for the arts scene in our small town.

Richard Smith, Peachland

Hold the line on the cost of government: the election We live in small towns for the quiet, the beauty, and the simplicity.

Why has our government become bloated and a burden to the seniors and families who live here and pay taxes? Why doesn’t it matter what your real water usage is when a senior couple will pay the same overall rate as homes with many family members?

Recently we have seen many articles expressing the burgeoning cost of town administration across B.C. Anyone who follows the news in this province understands that wages and benefits of small town bureaucrats are much too high. In Peachland the cost of our chief administrator is about $26 per resident whereas in Vancouver the same position costs about 15 cents per resident.

Our chief administrator plans for a two per cent wage increase whereas the retirees and workers who live here only get tax increases. They want a new hall. In the private sector, wages of the administration office are based on performance… that usually is prioritized as cost cuts and

accountability, not big increases on employee wages and higher property taxes for all.

Who is our administration office accountable to? Certainly it is not the residents of Peachland and I doubt it’s the mayor and council. I feel that it doesn’t really matter, in that the other town administrators are all on the “me too” entitlement roll. It should be the electorate of Peachland that determines the cost of our bureaucracy. How can we change that mentality and move forward?

Before we vote on November 15 let us take a look at the record of the current mayor and councillors. Who voted to increase taxes, who was fiscally prudent, who isn’t business friendly? Remembering that without change there is no change. We must vote in this election. It’s important. The past tells us that we can’t fight city hall; well, maybe we can.

Assisted suicide and palliative care among issues at hand MP Dan Albas Commentary Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, there was a break week from the House of Commons before the House resumed again on Monday, October 20. Also occurring in

Dan Albas, MP Ottawa that week was a case that is before the Supreme Court of Canada on assisted suicide. It is unknown at this point if this matter will come before the House of Commons or not in the immediate future, however it is a subject that I know many citizens can have strong views on.

On a related subject that has also arisen is the need for improved

access to palliative care in Canada. Currently it is estimated that only 15 per cent of Canadians have access to palliative care and while it is more common in Okanagan-Coquihalla, there are many regions in Canada where it is unavailable. The 2013 economic action plan budget increased funding to the Pallium Foundation of Canada to increase palliative training for front line health care workers, however more work needs to be done in this area. From the many families I have heard from who have lost a loved one, palliative care can make some of life’s most challenging times more comfortable.

This is a subject I will continue to support increased progress on in Ottawa.

Another subject that I remain actively involved with in Ottawa involves federal regulations with respect to invasive freshwater species such as the zebra and quagga mussel.

ELECTION WATCH

Peachland needs more opportunities for young people, Kerbes says Erin Christie / Peachland View A growing, yet vibrant community, with more young families, is what councillor Eldon Kerbes says he will work toward if re-elected on November 15.

The first term councillor is hoping to make a return to the council table after the upcoming election with a promise to continue his efforts to manage growth and maintain a strong focus on downtown revitalization.

“The next four years will be pivotal for Peachland,” Kerbes, 73, pointed out.

“We need growth and development, but we also need to keep in mind the kind of growth we want. We don’t want big box stores – we don’t want to be West Kelowna. We want to be Peachland.”

Maintaining the town’s identity is another priority for the self-admitted small town enthusiast.

“I grew up on a farm in Central Alberta, so I don’t mind a quiet life. My wife and I have always liked small communities and we love Peachland. We want to see it grow because it has to – it has an aging infrastructure and to support that financially will increase the burden on the taxpayers if we don’t allow for some growth – but we

ERIN CHRISTIE

Councillor Eldon Kerbes

need to be selective and maintain our niche market atmosphere.”

Kerbes, a former Peachland Citizen of the Year, relocated to Peachland in 2001

with his wife, Donna, with whom he shared the title, and has been actively involved with the fall fair, the Peachland Players and the Lions Club for more than a decade.

He says the experience of volunteering and his involvement in community groups, such as the arts council, have helped him gain a firm grasp on the needs of the community and how he can best serve Peachland’s residents on council.

The former forestry industry executive said if re-elected he will continue to support the non-profit groups and artisans because he believes their presence is integral to Peachland’s growth and tourism industry.

“We need to do something to create more opportunities for young people,” he said.

“We need young families. They’re the engines of the economy...It’s important to try and keep those people here by providing more opportunities.”

Kerbes also believes the addition of a hotel would be an economic driver within the community.

“We have a lot of tourists but we don’t encourage long-term stays. Our bed and breakfasts are booked solid but they’re so busy people can only stay for a night or two.

We need to offer people another option so

they’ll stay and support our economy by shopping and eating in our restaurants and taking advantage of what we have to offer, longer,” he explained.

But Kerbes says it’s hard to encourage developers to build while the bypass project is still under review.

“There are three hotels on the books [for development], but it’s really difficult for them to develop when they don’t know what’s going on with the highway.”

Aside from downtown revitalization and youth retention, Kerbes said he, like all members of current council, wants to see the Ponderosa development move forward without putting the district in financial straits.

Kerbes reiterated that he wanted to run again in this election because he likes to be involved in the community.

“I have worked hard to serve the best interests of Peachland’s residents and alleviate them whenever possible,” he told The View on October 21.

“I don’t feel the need to speak on every single issue if I agree with what’s being said, just to have my voice heard. I consider that grandstanding. I don’t talk a lot but I always speak my mind when I have something to say.”

Diabetes is a disease that makes it difficult for the body to manage its blood glucose levels. Diabetes is broken down into two types: type one diabetes, which occurs when the pancreas cannot adequately produce enough insulin to regulate blood sugar;

and type 2 diabetes

and type two diabetes, which occurs when the body either resists the effects of insulin or does not produce enough to maintain a normal blood sugar level.

Being overweight or obese is a significant risk factor for type two diabetes, but many peo-

ple do not know why.

There is some evidence that fat cells are more resistant to insulin than muscle cells. In addition, being overweight taxes the body in other ways and can put more pressure on the body’s ability to properly control blood sugar and use insulin.

Carbohydrate-rich diets full of simple sugars and refined foods can cause unhealthy spikes in blood glucose readings. Individuals who overeat and lead sedentary lifestyles may not burn enough energy, and excess calories are then stored as fat, compounding the

problem.

Type two diabetes is largely preventable, and research shows that lifestyle changes that include small amounts of weight loss (between five and 10 per cent of body weight) can prevent or delay the onset of type two diabetes. In fact, managing weight is the best thing a person can do to reduce their risk for diabetes. Losing as few as 10 pounds can markedly improve insulin resistance and make it much easier to manage blood sugar levels.

In addition to losing weight, eating a healthy diet and ex-

ercising regularly can reduce a person’s risk of developing diabetes.

Lean proteins, leafy green vegetables and complex carbohydrates will not spike blood sugar levels. Exercise helps burn calories and boost metabolism, and may even help the body use insulin more effectively.

Type two diabetes can be a chronic, debilitating condition that leads to other illnesses.

But type two diabetes is largely preventable, and losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight are great ways to lower your risk of diabetes.

Change begins with a conversation for Keith “Papa” Thom

FILE PHOTO

CONTRIBUTED

Keith “Papa” Thom.

Erin Christie Peachland View Council candidate Keith Thom has a passion for people.

In 2008, the retired administrator and social activist combined his love of music, food, and philanthropy to launch a cross-country tour to help feed the homeless.

He called the outing his Shepherd’s Pie tour, and believes the experience will serve him well if elected to one of Peachland’s six councillor seats on November 15.

During the selffunded tour, which ran annually during the winter months between 2008 and 2012, Thom visited shelters and soup kitchens, where he would offer to cook shepherd’s pie and play music for the clients. Thom said he often invited the media and local politicians to attend as a means of raising awareness of the issues of homelessness, addictions and mental illness.

“Working within the Ontario healthcare system for 10 years, I often worked closely with politicians. But when I went on tour I got to work with them in an entirely different capacity and in those years I realized that

the most effective way to make a difference is to work at the municipal level,” he told The View on October 13.

“It’s your municipal politicians that can affect your everyday life, far more than your federal politicians,” he pointed out.

“They can affect your tax base, they can affect your sewers – all the important things.”

But the 60-year-old Ontario native says it was former Moose Jaw mayor Dale McBain who inspired him to eventually consider a foray into political life.

“He invited me for lunch, and as we walked down the street I noticed something amazing. This man seemed to know every face and every name, in a town with a population of about 10,000, and they all knew him. He was so in tune with the town, and I thought if I ever ran for office that was the kind of politician I want to be.”

Despite his family’s encouragement, Thom says running for municipal office was still not something he was sure he wanted to do when he first arrived in Peachland six years ago, but over time, that began to change.

He says he began seriously thinking

about it six months ago, but in the end, it was his 87-yearold mother-in-law, or rather, her frustration with the lack of seniors’ housing, that finally motivated him to take the plunge.

“She has to leave town because there is no place for her to go where she can get three meals a day and get her housekeeping done,” Thom pointed out.

“It’s not a lack of money, she just has to leave because there isn’t anything in Peachland.”

Thom suggested that a privately funded facility might be a viable option for the town but that more needs to be done to entice developers.

“Retirement living is a viable business, as well as a necessary service but in order to bring in some private money to build a retirement home we need to make the process of building and developing in this town more seamless; there are so many hoops thrown at developers so we need to communicate that we want them and be a little more clear and succinct when it comes to guidelines.”

A second issue Thom feels should be brought to the forefront at the council

table is a need to engage Peachland’s youth.

“There’s really

nothing for them here.

We have a boys and girls club and a rec centre and they do great things, but we really don’t have anything for a 14-year-old to do on a Friday night,” Thom noted.

He feels offering more opportunities for youth involvement would benefit the town, but ultimately Thom says the most significant role of any

council is to communicate to the residents.

“For most of my career I was hired to troubleshoot and it wasn’t about coming into an organization and telling people where everything had gone wrong. It was often about sitting down and brainstorming with people,” he explained.

“Most of the time I knew where the issues

were pretty quickly but I learned from my father, who was also a manager, that to turn a company around, or even to turn a town around, you need to talk to the people and find out what’s important to them and that’s what I’m trying to do.

The card I’m handing out during this campaign says ‘let’s talk,’ because that’s where change begins.”

ERIC HALL for PEACHLAND MAYOR I have been a member of Peachland Council for three years and it has been a pleasure to represent you.

Although much good work has been done, there is a need for more direct leadership from the Mayor. I believe that I can provide that leadership and that is why I am running for the position of Peachland Mayor on November 15th.

I do not support giving management staff salary increases beyond the rate of inflation as we have done during the last three years.

I do not support increasing taxes by 2% each year as we have during the last three years. We need to find ways to reduce spending.

I did not support a $300,000 renovation of the Community Centre offices when a much smaller project would have solved the problems.

For financial responsibility, actions speak louder than words.

PEACHLAND VIEW

ELECTION WATCH

Communication is the key for fifth mayoral contender Erin Christie Peachland View Peachland municipal councillor Eric Hall has decided the time has come to take the leap from councillor to mayor.

Now approaching the end of his third year as a municipal councillor, the local politician feels it’s time to afford others an opportunity to represent the town.

But Hall doesn’t plan on taking a step back.

On October 10, the first term councillor entered the mayoral race, joining incumbent Keith Fielding, former councillor Ernie Hurd, former Highway 97 Taskforce Society pres-

ident Bruce Letendre and fellow councillor Cindy Fortin.

Hall says his decision to join the battle for the mayor’s seat was motivated by his concern about the lack of communication within council chambers, and subsequently, the public.

“The mayor cannot operate in isolation.

He should be building support amongst the members of council and consulting with them. You have to reach out. But that isn’t happening,” Hall told The View.

“As far as I can tell Keith [Fielding] has never met with any of us. I can definitely say

he has never met with me to discuss any issues. In fact, when I was first elected I asked to meet with him to discuss holding public meetings. He said public meetings don’t work. I campaigned in open government but you can’t really deliver open government if you can’t express your opinion and you don’t meet with the public.”

Hall says the matter of lack of communication concerns him because it ultimately affects taxpayers and plans to take a closer look at the decision-making process.

“When you don’t lead council or consult with them, basically you’re just handing the agenda over to staff, and that’s a problem,” Hall noted emphatically.

“We’re lucky because we have good members of staff who are competent, but the mayor and council aren’t setting the agenda. We’re letting staff determine how Peachland develops.”

Hall said he feels

CONTRIBUTED

Councillor Eric Hall

the recurring problem is that council is often hearing conclusions drawn by staff, but are not involved in enough of the discussions of agenda items.

He points to the recent deliberations with Habitat for Humanity

representatives as an example.

“It’s a wonderful organization but when did council first hear about it?” he asked. “When the plans had all been finalized and the location had been chosen.”

“In their presentation we were told they had been talking to staff for two years. Where was the information coming to council? We just heard the conclusion, we weren’t involved in the discussion.”

Should he be elected on November 15, Hall says he intends to place more emphasis on communication to create a stronger, more effective council.

“Decisions taken by council are based on seven votes and the mayor only has one vote. So it is vital that the mayor communicates with members of council to earn their respect and support. I believe that I have the

necessary skills to do that.”

The Nottingham, England native relocated to Peachland with his wife, Marion, in 2001 after selling his software development firm. In Peachland, the couple quickly immersed themselves in the community, with Hall even making a brief foray into journalism as a reporter for the Peachland View for just over one year. .

It was in this capacity that he became interested in municipal politics.

Strong leadership, in any capacity, Hall reiterated, always goes back to strong communication.

“As mayor, I will communicate regularly with members of council and keep them informed. I like Keith [Fielding] but I want to do things a little bit differently.”

For Hall, the issue of the municipality’s spending habits is also of great concern to him.

“I don’t support some of the ways in which we have spent money. This $300,000 renovation to the community centre was totally unnecessary. We could have given Cheryl Wiebe [director of community services] a bigger office for about $10,000. All we needed was a new wall and we just ripped the place apart.”

Hall said the funds for the renovations came out of the town’s amenities fund and that money could have been better spent as a down payment on the proposed fire station planned for the Ponderosa Pincushion development project.

“We were given $500,000 toward our

amenity fund, which could have been used for a variety of things and the Ponderosa development is up there in the forest and needs a small fire station, but instead we spent $300,000 on an office renovation. When you look at it in those terms … it looks even worse.”

On the economic front, Hall says the town needs to attract new business, but stressed the importance of supporting existing businesses.

“We’ve got businesses shutting down and we could do more to help,” he said. “We could cut their taxes, it doesn’t make a huge difference, but to me it’s the message more than the amount of money.

We charge commercial property twice the taxes that we charge residential homes. Why should they be charged more?”

Hall said he was instrumental in reducing the commercial tax ratio from two to 1.95 and then to 1.9 per cent.

“During the 2014 budget discussions, I tried to get the ratio reduced to 1.8, but it was rejected on a majority vote,” he noted.

“It would have only resulted in a tax loss of $12,000 and would have sent a message of support to business.”

However, Hall added, on a majority vote, council did authorize the $300,000 renovation of council chambers.

“When businesses in Peachland are struggling, spending $300,000 on a renovation of the community centre offices sends the wrong message, in my opinion. If you agree, you know how to vote.”.

One pumpkin, many options!

Lorraine MacTavish Special to the Peachland View Autumn has two of my favourite fruits: apples and pumpkins, and both are fabulous for baking! But let’s just focus on pumpkins.

You can eat any pumpkin, but the smaller ones – often referred to as pie or sugar pumpkins – are sweeter. If you have chosen a jack-o-lantern pumpkin, the flesh will be a bit stringier but still has good flavour and will work in many recipes.

To start, wash then cut your pumpkin in half (or smaller pieces if you like), remove the seeds, and the pulp within the seed core, and save to roast later.

The easiest way to cook the pumpkin is to microwave or roast the pumpkin until the flesh is tender to a forktouch. Then remove the flesh from the skins and use a blender to purée.

You can blend your pumpkin on its own, or with a roasted butternut squash (which is really what the canned pumpkin is – often labelled as Dickinson pumpkin) for a really smooth creamy purée.

Cool the purée, place in one or two cup measures in plastic baggies and freeze to bring up whenever you feel like baking with pumpkin.

As a note, you can feed your dog pumpkin purée (start with one or two tablespoons per day) to help with the occasional bout of diarrhea and constipation. Please check with your veterinarian if you have a persistent problem though. You can add it to your dog’s food if you are trying to cut back on Fido’s food to lose weight. It is a great low-fat treat that fills a dog up due to being high in fibre.

If you are using canned pumpkin, make sure it is pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling. And you can use the pumpkin as an ingredient for making pet treats too.

So now you have your pumpkin purée and there are so many options for it. Today, I am going to share a recipe I have tried for a pumpkin loaf that comes from the Prairie Homestead Cookbook 2013. It has a nice light texture and great flavour.

Honey maple pumpkin bread (makes 2 loaves)

Ingredients: Loaf ¾ cup liquid honey ¾ cup maple syrup 1 cup coconut oil or butter – melted 1 tsp vanilla 1 tsp maple flavouring 4 eggs 3 cups whole wheat flour 2 cups pumpkin purée 2 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice 2 tsp baking soda ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional) ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts or pecans (optional) Ingredients: Pumpkin Pie Spice 3 tbsp. ground cinnamon 2 tsp ground ginger 2 tsp ground nutmeg 1 ½ tsp ground allspice 1 ½ tsp ground cloves Mix all spices together and store in an airtight container.

Instructions: Preheat oven to 350°F, and grease two 9” x 5” loaf pans. (Or line bottom with parchment and grease sides.)

In a large bowl, mix honey, syrup, oil/butter, vanilla, maple flavor-

re-elect

ing and eggs together.

Mix in pumpkin purée and chocolate chips and nuts if desired.

In a different bowl, combine all dry ingredients.

Combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients and stir until everything is incorporated.

Divide batter between two loaf pans, and bake 50 - 60 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean.

Cool in pans for five minutes, then take out and cool on wire racks.

Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin

Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin will be in Peachland on Sunday November 2nd and Monday November 3rd during a roadshow making its way through the Okanagan. You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the 50+ Activity Centre in Peachland between 10am and 6pm each day.

No appointment is required. Barry Dick is a precious metals buyer and President of Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin.

“Ursa Major has the unique advantage of dealing direct with a smelter” said Dick. “That allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen. Ursa Major purchases gold and silver from other gold buyers, pawn shops, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as from the general public.” Recent price increases of precious metals have created lots of “gold buyers” including mail in companies. Many of those buyers offer pennies on the dollar to unsuspecting customers and are limited to what they buy, choosing to ignore silver and coins and only purchase gold.

Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver and coins while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail.

Coins with numismatic value are set aside from those with a ‘melt’ value.

Silver items such as jewellery and flatware are analyzed for hallmark identification. Items thought to contain gold will also be analyzed for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then a cash offer is made and you decide to sell or not.

“People bring in all kinds of interesting items, but for the most part it is a broken or old chain, unloved jewelry, a single earring, and out of fashion items like charm bracelets. We also accept dental gold but it should be clean. Lately I see more and more silver flatware sets, but before you bring those in please make sure it says “Sterling” on the handle. There is a lot of silver plated flatware that we can’t buy due to the low silver content” says Dick. Another valuable item is coin with silver content.

Dimes, Quarters, Half Dollars and Dollars from Canada and America can be sorted and the silver content determined in no time at all. People are encouraged to bring in any and all coins for assessment.

Ursa Major also assesses and purchases Canadian and Dominion of Canada Paper Money. Ursa Major has extensive experience working with estate sales, executors, widows and widowers in a respectful and caring manner. No appointment necessary.

PEACHLAND REMEMBERS

First World War veteran Colonel St. John known Soldier in Westminster Abbey.

From 1926 to 1934 he served in India. He retired from his Army career at 51 years old. His relative was the Earl of Orkney, and when he passed away his son Peter, who is a close friend of long time Peachland fire chief Don Wilson, became the present Earl of Orkney and in that capacity attended the Peachland Centennial celebrations in 2009.

Colonel St. John lived in Peachland as his wife, Elizabeth Pierce, was from an old family here and their property is now the site of the art gallery on the highway.

When the Governor General of Canada came to Peachland in 1948, the Colonel was introduced to him as he had served with him when he was a general.

Colonel St. John (pronounced syngin) was an adventurer, even as a young man and worked as a “guacho” on the cattle ranches of Argentina, returning home to Britain and joining the Gordon Highlanders, then the Royal Scots, in 1915.

St. John rose through the ranks to become an officer when the First World War broke out in 1914.

He went in to the front lines and won the Military Cross (MC) for bravery, was often mentioned in dispatches, and took part in the retreat from Mons and the battle of the Somme.

From there, he was posted to Mesopotamia where he won the Distinguished Service Order (DSO). After the war, he was present at the dedication to the Un-

Level: Intermediate

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

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, don’t worry if you have to give up something you desire when negotiating with others. The chips will fall into place.

FAITH FOOD FOR THE SOUL

Being a follower of Jesus is not really for the faint of heart other 612 laws are less important. But there’s a twist in the way Jesus interprets the tradition: he confounds his questioners by pulling together two laws from different biblical sources and then says that everything else (the other 612 laws) flows from the two he has stated. In other words, everything we do must be rooted in love of God and love of neighbour.

So who is a neighbour? Well, not just the people who live next door, or across the road. Jesus leaves his listeners and followers in no doubt as to

Elaine Diggle Peachland United Church “In the evening, we will be judged on love.” - John of the Cross, 16th century.

“Physics isn’t the most important thing. love is.” - Nobel Prize winning physicist Richard P. Feynman, 20th century.

“When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had left the Sadducees speechless, they met together. One of them, a legal expert, tested him. ‘Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He replied, (a) ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your being, and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment.

And the second is like it: (b) You must love your neighbour as you love yourself. All the law and the prophets depend on these two commands.’” - Jesus of Nazareth, courtesy of the evangelist Matthew 22:34-40.

These three people agree on one most basic truth: love and relationships are absolutely fundamental to our lives and wellbeing as humans.

Deep and loving relationships between ourselves and God, and deep and loving relationships with each other. Without both, we do not flourish.

“Dear friends, let’s love each other, because love is from God, and everyone who loves is born from God and knows God. The person who doesn’t love does not know God, because God is love. If we love each other, God remains in us and his

justification for arresting this troublesome wanna-be messiah/ prophet, the love that he was referencing – biblical love – is the kind of love that Ruth, the young Moabite widow, demonstrated towards her mother-inlaw Naomi. The kind of love that demonstrated total commitment to the well-being of the other, to the extent that Ruth left her family in Moab to go with Naomi back to Palestine in order to help her and secure support for her so that Naomi might have a future back in her homeland.

This is the way we are loved. At times the Psalmist calls it “womb-love.”

That deep nurturing love that a mother has for her unborn child.

Jesus clearly knew what being faithful involved. The Pharisees wanted to trap him in heresy to say that the

love is made perfect in us.” - The writer of the Epistle 1, John (Chapter 4: 7- 9, 11-12).

“Little children, let’s not love with words or speech but with action and truth.” - 1 John 3:18.

Both of these passages nailed what is really important in biblical love. It is not the ephemeral physical passion (eros) that we usually define as a feeling that may cause us to behave in a certain way. And then when we no longer experience that feeling in the same exciting, nerve-tingling way as before, we allow our changes of “feelings” to change our attitudes and behaviours, and even allow justification of bad behaviours.

No, when Jesus was being cross-examined by the big “legal beagle” the Pharisees had produced in order to trip him up and give

each other in nurturing and caring ways so that God’s love flows out, encompassing all of creation.

Being a follower of Jesus of Nazareth is not for the fainthearted, for we are called to set our hearts in a direction, knowing that when we do the things that fulfil that commitment, our feelings often follow. The laws of loving and giving are God’s way of helping us to be the people we need to become if we are to leave the world a better place for our having lived. May we all indeed grow in love.

who our neighbour is.

Our neighbours are all of humanity. Not just the ones we know and like, not even the ones we know and don’t like; no, all of humankind is our neighbour and we must intentionally and actively seek their well-being.

We do not have the luxury of picking and choosing those who we will intentionally love; or to put it in another way, we do not have the right to decide those who we think or know who God favours. We do not know.

Instead we are called to intentionally love

Sun Devils ready to take on Lions Oct. 26 Jen Scott / Special to the Peachland View The West Kelowna Sun Devils are getting amped up to play their last regular season game on Sunday, October 26.

At the game, which is set to take place on their home field at Shannon Woods, the hard-working team will take on the Kelowna Lions, who are undefeated this

season.

But the Devils are eager for their chance to take them on. The Sun Devils did not have any games the past two Sundays, but used their time wisely.

On Thanksgiving weekend, the boys travelled to Vancouver to watch the B.C. Lions play against the Ottawa Red Blacks for inspiration, and this past week

the team threw in some extra practices in preparation for their big game.

The team is comprised of boys between the ages of 16 and 17, all of whom are from Peachland and West Kelowna.
