One-on-one follow up assistance has been provided to over 100 businesses related to such topics as signage, zoning, parking, exporting and B2B connections. This year’s installment of the exercise included 400 businesses and more than 60 business leaders or “walkers” volunteering their time. The walk took place from 9 a.m. to 12 noon in Lake Country, Kelowna, Westbank First Nation, West Kelowna and Peachland.

Council debating e-participation Erin Christie / Peachland View Should council members be allowed to attend meetings electronically? And if so, how often, and for what reason?

That was the question faced by Peachland’s councillors on September 30.

The recommendation, initially brought to council’s attention by Councillor Peter Schierbeck at the July

We provide excellent coverage for:

• Auto • Home • Recreational Vehicles • Travel Medical

8 committee of the whole (COTW) meeting, requested that council members be permitted to attend and vote at regular council meetings, committee of the whole, special council meetings and in-camera council meetings through electronic devices including phone (via conference call on speaker phone), and Skype.

When the issue was revisited during the September 30 COTW meetings

and discussed at great length, members suggested the proposed procedure bylaw state that members could attend electronically no more than four times per year, unless otherwise approved by council.

Schierbeck requested that council amend the proposed bylaw to allow members to attend electronically as many times as necessary.

That motion received three readings

and could receive a fourth, and subsequently pass, on October 14.

Schierbeck told council members he felt this bylaw could be beneficial to members of council, as it would allow them to attend and participate while they were out of town, ill, or otherwise unable to participate in person.

NEWS/ELECTION WATCH

Council debates Skype attendance Continued from page 1

Most members of council said they were in favour of allowing occasional electronic participation, as long as there were restrictions, however some were not in favour of the later amendment allowing unrestricted remote participation.

The concern was raised whether or not there would be abuse of the privilege to attend electronically.

Schierbeck countered the concern, pointing out that several organizations, including the regional district and the Okanagan Regional Library Board, allow members to participate electronically should the need arise.

Schierbeck said he has never seen that option abused, however he was not in favour of keeping the restrictions.

This concerned Councillor Cindy Fortin.

“If you aren’t worried they’re going to be

abused, what does it matter if we keep the restrictions?” Fortin asked.

Her concern was echoed by Councillor Eldon Kerbes.

“I would hope no one would abuse this privilege, but I still don’t see the harm in putting a cap on the number of dates someone can attend electronically,” he told The View.

For Councillor Eric Hall, the greater issue was whether a member participating remotely had to attend the entire meeting or only be required to “phone in for part of the meeting.”

“When you’re member of council, you’re expected to attend meetings. I can understand having to participate remotely if there is an emergency.

But I think the restriction was reasonable,” Hall added.

“If you have to miss more than four dates you have to wonder if the person wants to be a part of municipal government at all?” Fortin noted.

Nomination period is now open Erin Christie / Peachland View Fall is here, students are back at school, and politically-minded Peachlanders are getting ready for the upcoming civic election.

Nomination period kicked off on September 30, allowing prospective council and mayoral candidates to finally make it official.

As of press time on October 1, 21 potential candidates had picked up nomination packages and begun public consultation, however, only nine have granted chief election officer Polly Palmer permission to release their names to the public.

According to Palmer, 14 packages for the position of

councillor have been picked up by potential combatants, while seven have been snagged by those seeking the mayor’s seat.

Of the seven people possibly seeking the town’s top job only councillor Cindy Fortin has filed her nomination papers. Highway 97 Task Force Society president Bruce Letendre, former Peachland councillor Ernie Hurd and the four undisclosed contenders have not yet filed.

Peachland’s current mayor, Keith Fielding, has not yet announced whether he intends to seek another term but indicated to The View that he was giving it serious consideration and would make a decision within the next few days.

Open Burning Season Begins in the Central Okanagan

Open burning season in the Central Okanagan has begun. Starting Wednesday, October 1, those people with properties greater than one hectare were granted permission to burn outdoors, but only after receiving a permit from their local fire authority and only after confirming that burning is allowed on a particular day.

Farmers and large lot owners must also follow any regulations before lighting any fire.

Eligible property owners within the Central Okanagan East or the Central Okanagan West electoral areas may obtain a permit by calling the Regional District at 250-469-6223 (long distance collect calls are accepted) weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., excluding holidays.

All other eligible property owners must obtain a permit from their municipal fire department.

Time to get those winter tires put on

With winter quickly approaching, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is reminding motorists that winter tires are required on the high mountain passes from October 1 to March 31. Signs are posted on each of the designated highways to advise motorists where winter tires are required. These are located in areas approaching high mountain passes and interior highways where conditions can change from rain to snow very quickly.

As a result of the technical analysis completed during the Rural Highway Safety and Speed Review, winter tires have been defined as those labelled with either the winter mountain/snowflake symbol or the mud and snow (M+S) designation. Winter tires must also be in good condition with a minimum tread depth of 3.5 mm.

Maps showing which roads require winter tires can be found on the ministry’s web page at www.th.gov.bc.ca/SeasonalDriving/wintertires-chains/index.html.

Preston trial date will be set next week

A troubled Peachland journalist will soon be making headlines again.

Former reporter David Preston is scheduled to appear in court on October 8, to set a 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 BC ICE unit, based in Surrey, is specialised 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 the 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.

Canada Post Contract #41127536

Dan Albas, MP issues are widely reported on in favour of others. Based on questions, concerns and feedback I have heard from many citizens in Okanagan-

Coquihalla here are some updates on a few events this week: Back in my July 9 MP report I mentioned a proposal submitted to the CRTC that could potentially create a tax on Netflix subscribers; this was in response to many citizens who had taken the time to voice opposition to such a taxation proposal.

This week, representatives from Netflix participated in a public hearing with the CRTC. As you may have heard, this hearing resulted in Netflix being ordered to produce specific proprietary information to the CRTC that ultimately in some cases was not provided. Having read the transcripts of this hearing it is clear that

Netflix was willing to provide the requested information provided an assurance of confidentiality could be secured from the CRTC. Ultimately an inability to reach an agreement with respect to confidentiality has resulted in this matter still pending. It should also be noted that our government is on record opposing a Netflix tax, a view similar to what I have heard locally. I will provide a further update on this subject as it becomes available.

On the ISIL terrorism threats to Canadians we have seen in recent media reports, there has been a number of cases where citizens with a Canadian passport have left Canada

to join the terrorist group ISIL. In order to protect Canadians our government has listed ISIL as an official terrorist group, making it a criminal offence to assist their operations and begun revoking passports of those individuals who leave Canada to join ISIL or other Jihadi terror groups. The leader of the Liberal party has publicly stated his opposition to revoking passports of individuals who join ISIL or other terror organizations, meaning these individuals are free to return to Canada or travel to other destinations under a Canadian passport.

As a result this is a subject I would invite further comment on. Is the revoking

of passports of individuals who leave Canada to join terror organizations reasonable or should these individuals be free to return to Canada as suggested by the leader of the Liberal party?

In a recent report I discussed in greater detail some aspects of the Reform Act and invited further comments. Many citizens took the time to respond and while some have voiced serious concern and strong opposition to the bill, the majority of citizens I have heard from are supportive for a variety of different reasons.

I would also like to credit and recognize individuals who presented unique points that encourage sup-

port in areas that I voiced concern over in my report. Based largely on the feedback I have heard from a majority of citizens and pending amendments to the Reform Act I can confirm I will be voting in support of the bill as it comes up for a vote this week in the House of Commons. The feedback from so many citizens in Okanagan-Coquihalla on this bill was very much appreciated.

On the subject of feedback: a reminder that I can be reached at dan.albas@parl. gc.ca or toll free at 1.800.665.8711.

Pyke’s WASP takes the sting out of fighting wildfires Erin Christie Peachland View After 16 years of battling wildfires in British Columbia and Alberta, Darrell Pyke decided there was a need for a new type of firefighting equipment.

“What they’ve done to protect structures in the past is to take sprinklers and sandbags and climb up on to the roof to secure them,” Pyke explained.

“Firefighters have to climb up on to the roof to set this stuff up. It can be really dangerous and I’ve always felt there was a better way.”

Pyke’s invention is called the Personal Firebreak System. It is the latest in his growing line of Wildfire Automated Sprinkler Protection (WASP) products, all of which are designed to distribute water where it’s needed most during wildfire emergencies.

Deployed by an extendable pole, the light-weight Firebreak bracket attaches to the existing gutters on most homes.

Each kit includes

two sprinkler brackets, two Nelson brand agricultural grade sprinkler heads, two sets of forestry grade lay flat hose in 25’ (7.6m) length, one ribbed aluminum pole extendable from 4’ (1.2m) to 16’ (4.9m) in length and two of the pole adapters, which allow use of any pole with a broom handle (ACME) thread.

The kit also includes two of the fascia/fence brackets, to allow deployment on fences or structures without gutters.

Additional sprinklers and accessories are sold separately if needed.

Pyke said he got the idea two years ago after watching firefighters climb a roof during a fire and use sandbags to secure the hoses.

Alarmed by the danger of this task, which he’d done several times himself, Pyke decided to find a safer alternative.

So why are fire departments across the province scrambling for Pyke’s products?

“They’re remote controlled,” explained

Peachland’s fire chief Dennis Craig, adding that the advantage of the Personal Firebreak system is it can be turned on and left on

during an evacuation.

“It’s a dangerous job as it is, so being able to

control hoses by simply turning on a valve from more than 20

Fiesta

feet away if we have to helps keep our firefighters a little safer.”

“Fire departments just love it,” added Pyke, “for the safety, and for the speed in which it can be deployed. It’s literally seconds versus minutes to put these things up.”

Craig said the municipality of Peachland was one of the first in the province to purchase Pyke’s first invention, a remote hydrant system known as the WASP in a Box, which was deployed for the first time during the Smith Creek wildfires in August.

During the Smith Creek fire, Craig said the department put 47,000 gallons of water through the system.

“It worked well,” he said.

“It was well worth the purchase price.”

Craig said the department recently purchased Firebreaks and Pyke donated an extra ten.

“Most homes lost to wildfire burn from the roof down because of the windblown embers, even if the fire is contained. It makes sense to keep the roof and surrounding area wet.”

Erin Christie / Peachland View The Peachland Legion needs your help. Branch 69’s secretary/manager Barrie Hewer told The View the popular community hub will be kicking off a new fundraising drive to help fund some “emergency repairs” in the building.

The drive, which kicks off at 11 a.m. at the legion this Saturday, will include dances, bake sales, silent auctions and meat draws.

“Basically whatever we can do to raise money,” Hewer told The View.

The Peachlander said there are a number of repairs required to bring the building up to the standards the board would like, but for the moment, they are mainly focused on fixing the bar area, where employees recently discovered a leak.

to the wood surrounding the bar, which he says could result in mould.

“That kind of damage could close us for weeks,” Hewer pointed out.

“The bar is where we make most of money so we can’t really afford to go without it.”

Hewer said the legion’s insurance will only cover some of the damage, for which the cause has yet to be determined, and despite all the fundraising the legion does, only a small portion can be used for capital projects like building repairs.

“Most of the money we raise goes right back in to the community,” Hewer said.

“Our goal is to continue to support our veterans, and our community. That’s what we’re all about. We really don’t have a lot of money to use for projects like this.”

However, he added, to continue to support community projects and bursaries the legion

needs to be in “good working order.”

“We need to keep our doors open and be able to host events to support ourselves,” Hewer added.

The goal for all of the renovations the board would like to complete is $30,000.

Those renos include expanding the bar area and new flooring, among others.

Hewer said the immediate repairs, which include those necessary to keep the bar and service area in operation, will cost roughly $8,000.

“We’ve made a commitment to get this fixed in January, so that only gives us a few months,” Hewer noted.

“We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us.”

The campaign kick off event will be held this Saturday, October 4 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Peachland Legion. The event will include a presentation detailing the renovation project, giveaways from Costco, meat draws and more.

though that is a building code violation,” Craig noted.

“They are so important. So our goal is to ensure that everyone in this community has a smoke alarm in their home. With the amount of fires we have around here, it just makes sense.”

The program is being sponsored by the Peachland Fire Department, the Waterfront Grill and Canadian 2 For 1 Pizza. To qualify for a free pizza call Canadian 2 For 1 at 250.767.9009 or the Waterfront Grill at 250.767.3255, between 4:30 and 8:30 on October 3, and mention the ad in this week’s edition of the Peachland View.

“We know it was successful there and we thought it was a good way to get people engaged here. In the past we have focused on targeting schools during Fire Prevention Awareness Week. But this time we wanted to shift our focus to the public.”

Craig said the department wants to get the message across that fire damage, deaths and injuries are preventable by correctly installing and maintaining smoke detectors.

He said out of the last four structural fires the department has been called to, only one residence had a working smoke detector.

“It’s amazing how many people don’t have smoke detectors, even

will receive their pizza for free.

The delivery is part of a public education program designed to teach residents about the importance of properly functioning smoke detectors. The program, which also kicks off Fire Prevention Awareness Week (October 5 -11), is a first-time initiative for the Peachland department.

Fire chief Dennis Craig says the Peachland department isn’t the first community to promote fire prevention with free pizza, and hopes to turn the campaign into an annual event.

“The idea actually come from a similar campaign they run in Kamloops and in communities throughout the United States,” Craig explained.

How senior donors can avoid scams

Con artists masquerading as charities can victimize anyone, but seniors are especially vulnerable to such criminals. Men and women who perpetrate charitable fraud often target older men and women, feeling that seniors are more likely to have a significant amount of money in their bank accounts and less likely to report crimes for fear of embar-

rassment.

But even if seniors are prime targets for charitable fraud, they still can take steps to safeguard themselves from scammers looking to exploit their generosity.

• Never donate over the phone. No reputable charity will insist on a donation over the phone.

When a person calls and says they represent a charity, they should be

willing to send you information in the mail so you can further explore their organization before making your final decision. If a caller attempts to pressure you into donating over the phone, hang up.

• Keep a list of organizations you have donated to in the past.

Many people who perpetuate charitable fraud reference a past rela-

tionship or donation history between their victims and the charity the criminal is claiming to represent. Maintain a list of your donation history, including the organizations you have donated to and the amount of those donations. This can help you verify if the person calling, emailing or visiting you is telling the truth.

• Do not feel obligated to give. Many charities send gifts to their donors as a token of appreciation for their support. Some criminals masquerading as charities will send gifts to potential victims in an attempt to fool them into

writing a check. Whether a charity is legitimate or not, seniors should not feel obligated to donate simply because they received a gift. If you receive a gift and want to donate, confirm that the organization that sent you the gift is legitimate and not an imposter organization that is baiting you with a gift. If the gift was accompanied by a donation form, do not fill out that form, choosing instead to make a direct donation via the organization’s website, a site you should find independent of the mailer/gift you received, or mail a cheque directly to the organization after you

independently confirm its address.

• Insist that your personal information is not shared. Before making a charitable donation, donors are often notified that their contact information is likely to be sold to or traded with other charities. This can lead to an influx of charitable solicitations that elderly men and women may find overwhelming. So prior to making a donation, speak directly with the charity and insist that none of your information be shared with other charities or organizations. If this cannot be arranged, find an organization willing to make such a concession and contribute to that charity instead.

• Ask for help. If you are confused when it comes time to make your annual donations, ask a son, daughter or trusted confidant for help so you can rest easy knowing your donation goes where you intend for it to go.

Our popular Tween dinner night continues on Wednesdays from 5-7:30 p.m. where for only $2, members aged nine-12 will learn about healthy eating and practice life skills by cooking and eating dinner together.

In addition to our tween drop in program on Thursdays from 3-5:30 p.m. we have added Tween Trips.

HEALTH AND NUTRITION LORRAINE’S TASTY TREATS

Fall Fair cookie queen is sharing award-winning recipes Lorraine MacTavish Special to the Peachland View As some of you may have guessed, I love to bake and cook, but I hadn’t thought of seeing what others really think of my baking until my

Lorraine MacTavish husband and I visited this area on vacation about 15 years ago and made a point of going to the Peachland Fall Fair to see what this little town had to offer.

As we walked around and looked at the exhibits we realized that there were so many talented people that loved their gardens and flowers, doing handicrafts with the expertise of professionals, and

ladies and gentlemen that could preserve and bake like no tomorrow. I told my husband that when we move here, I was totally going to get involved with this lovely fair, but more than that, I wanted to find out if I am really a good baker, or was only great in my own mind.

Fast forward to 2011: we had moved from Edmonton, settled in, and I was ready to enter my first bit of canning and baking into the Peachland Fall Fair.

Low and behold, I won a few ribbons and felt pretty proud of myself. The next year, I entered more items, won more ribbons, and by the third year, the obsession took hold. I entered more items, won more ribbons, and was really rather pleased with myself. Each year, I try to challenge myself to bake or preserve things I haven’t done before and see if there is a new recipe that I can tweak to make it really spectacular or just have

Carrot Cake – a lighter version 2 cups all-purpose flour

2 tsp milk

¾ cup sugar

Method:

2 tsp. baking soda

Pre-heat oven to 350°F degrees.

Combine the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl, make a well in the centre of the mixture. Whisk together the crushed pineapple and next four ingredients; add this to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in carrots. Makes five cups of batter.

1 ½ tsp cinnamon ½ tsp nutmeg 1 tsp salt 1 (14 oz) can crushed pineapple in juice – drained 3 eggs (you can use 2 eggs + 2 egg whites) 1 tbsp. vanilla 3 cups grated carrots – (I use ½ on a larger grate and ½ on a tiny grate) Cream Cheese Frosting: 4 oz ( ½ of an 8 oz package) of 1/3 less fat cream cheese at room temperature 2 tbsp butter, softened 1 tsp vanilla 3 cups powdered sugar fun with.

I am also on a quest to adapt recipes to make a healthier version, with less oils, fats and sugars. I found a carrot

Pour batter into two lightly greased and floured eight-inch round pans (I line the bottom of my pans with parchment paper). Bake for 35-45 minutes or until wooden pick or cake tester comes out clean. Or you can fill paper-lined cupcake pans 2/3 full. Makes approximately 21 cupcakes. Bake these for 20-25 minutes; or this will make a 9 x 13 inch pan – bake this for 50 to 60 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and cool completely.

more of oil, so I made a few adjustments, entered it into the fair and got a best of show ribbon! As with all my baking, I make the recipe the way

For the frosting, beat the cream cheese, butter and vanilla with electric mixer until smooth.

Gradually add three cups of powdered sugar to the butter mixture and beat at low speed just until blended. Do not over-beat.

Beat in up to two tsp milk for desired consistency. Makes about two cups of frosting.

To layer cakes, place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread with 2/3 cup frosting, and top with remaining cake layer.

Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. There are approximately 364 calories per 1/12 slice of double layer cake. For cupcakes or one slice of single layer cake, approximately 182 calories per slice or cupcake.

Try this cake and let me know if you enjoyed it as much as we do. You can contact me at lormact@gmail. com. I look forward to sharing another recipe next month.

Roasting tomatoes for fast winter meals, a healthy choice Simone Jennings Special to the Peachland View In our house we eat a lot of tomatoes, particularly in pasta sauce, chili, soups, and homemade salsa. A few years ago I was complaining to my aunt about not having enough time to can the abundance of ripe tomatoes in my

and freeze a whole lot of tomatoes for use throughout the winter and spring. The flavour from roasted tomatoes is so rich and delicious it totally trumps the canned version in my opinion.

Admittedly, preserving food in general is more time-consuming than buying it from the store. But for me the

flavour and quality of preserving fresh tomatoes from the garden or farmers market makes it totally worth the effort.

Plus the investment of extra time in the fall means saving time throughout the winter by having ready-made pasta sauce or the base for chili, soup, Mexican dishes, etc. ready to go in the freezer.

The other benefit to roasting tomatoes is certain nutrients, such as the antioxidant lycopene, become easier to absorb. Tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, which is thought to help prevent prostate cancer.

Roasting tomatoes is so easy that a specific recipe is not required; just a few directions

are all you need. Here is what I do. I like to use Roma tomatoes because they are not watery and the flavour becomes very concentrated. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice tomatoes in half and place on a large cookie sheet or baking dish. Add chopped onion and garlic (and any other garden vegetables you

have on hand such as zucchini or peppers).

Drizzle with olive oil and mix tomatoes so everything is coated.

Arrange tomatoes cut side up and then bake for approximately one hour or until tomatoes look a bit shrivelled and caramelized.

Allow tomatoes to cool then purée in food processor or leave

whole depending on how you plan to use them. Tomatoes that are not puréed can be peeled if desired (too finicky for me, I don’t mind the skins). Transfer to medium-sized freezer bags and lay flat to freeze as this creates more space efficient storage.

Give it a try and enjoy!

Inquisitive Zebra

Contributed Stanley Meldrum was born in Edinburgh, Scotland.

From an early age he loved to draw and sketch but he never took it seriously.

Meldrum’s career eventually took him overseas to countries such as China, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Egypt, to name a few.

Over the course of his journey, Meldrum became inspired by the cultures, traditions and customs of the people, and their interpretation of ev-

eryday life.

Their willingness to share and teach their customs was for him, a lovely breath of freshness.

Meldrum says he is thankful to the people of East Africa for taking the time to teach him their unique approach to art. Tinga-Tinga is a form of abstract art first initiated by John Said Tingatinga in 1968.

Unfortunately he passed away in 1972, after only four years of successful business and teaching. Meldrum was fascinated

by his East African technique and from 2005 to 2007 participated with a group of locals at the School of Tinga-Tinga in Oyster Bay, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Tinga-Tinga depicts animals surrealistically so as to make them appear happy and smiling.

Their legs and neck may be elongated or shortened altering the body shape. Meldrum has experimented with different methods to achieve his own version of TingaTinga and applies the

technique with good quality paper and gel pens.

Pointillism is an art technique which originated in Paris, France in the late 1800s. It builds up an art image by using dots. Meldrum was first introduced to this art form in Nairobi, Kenya in 1999 by a local artist who taught him the basics.

Through experimentation over the years he has found a technique of incorporating both African art and pointillism.

He is amazed how some artists can produce a piece of work from a few hours to one day.

For Meldrum it can take a week to 10 days averaging from 400,000 to 5.5 million dots. One mistake can ruin weeks, and sometimes months of painstaking work.

Despite the intensity of the work, Meldrum says he finds the method to be a great stress reliever.

Meldrum’s drawings can also be found on the Peachland Community Arts Council’s website.

ANSWERS

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, though you are usually up for a conversation with someone you don’t know, this week you could be in a more conservative mood. You’ll have future chances to chat.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

You have been on a shopping binge of late, Taurus. If you have unlimited funds, this would not be so problematic. But finances are tight, and you should be more cautious.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

Gemini, you are often an entertaining and fun person to have around. This is probably why you get so many invitations to parties and other social occasions. Enjoy your fanfare.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

Surround yourself with children this week, Cancer. They’ll provide the unedited, honest information you desire right now. It can certainly be eye-opening.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

Spend some quality time with a romantic partner this week, Leo. He or she can provide more of what you need, such as true affection and companionship, than what’s offered by friends.

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!

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, you deserve credit at the office. If you’re patient, some measure of recognition will come your way this week. It’s a start to getting what you need.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Few people will accuse you of being uncommunicative, Libra.

In fact, you’re usually downright chatty. It’s one of the traits people will admire most in you this week.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, a new person comes into your life and your attraction to this person catches you off guard.

It’s okay to flirt, but if you’re already attached to someone, leave it at that.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, you’re often the one to take the lead in conversations in your group of friends, but this week someone else takes the lead.

You’re content to sit back and simply listen.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, once you have gained enough confidence in a special interest, you may be able to turn it into a career instead of just a hobby. Keep working toward that goal.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

It’s time to tie up some loose ends, Aquarius. Rustle up some energy to take care of all those little things that need to be wrapped up.

You’ll feel a weight lift afterward.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, increase your level of activity this week. Exercise can do you a world of good, especially if you’ve felt sluggish of late.

FAITH

An invitation to get to know about the gift of Sabbath time Robin Graves St. Margaret’s Anglican Church The drive was uneventful, the directions to our friends’ Vancouver condominium were detailed and clear. Nissa and I arrived as sunset faded to twilight, unable to believe our good fortune as a car pulled away from the parking space right in front of the main entrance. We quickly unpacked, then made a phone call to let our friends back home know that we had arrived safely, and to ask for restaurant recommendations – nothing fancy, and preferably nearby – we certainly didn’t want to risk losing that parking space!

With suggestions in hand, we set out – two blocks and a bit to Georgia Street, a left turn, there were more than enough options to choose from. We settled on a small, informal eatery, with large garage-style windows rolled up as the music, aromas and lively buzz from within spilled out, inviting. A light meal, an easy walk home, an early night – we were booked on the first ferry in the morning – and so our holiday began.

Our time away was wonderful – a generous mix of homecoming, memory and adventure.

Born in Victoria, I had moved to Ottawa when I was three, returning with my mother and brother for a visit with grandparents and family when I was 10 and then again, on my own as I finished high school.

And here I had returned once more, more than forty years later, in celebration of our wedding anniversary.

While I had not set out with the intent of discovering lost roots, I soon came to realize that this journey was, in many ways, about recognizing my first home. It was also about memories – the names of places and landmarks that had meant much to my parents echoing as I stood in the lobby of the Empress Hotel, the very place where they had stood with one another so many years ago when I was but a dream. And the wordless memory of the senses – the deep silence, dappled light and sweet scent of fir trees rising as I found myself once more in the heart of Cathedral Grove. I

realized, too, that this holiday had much to do with adventure – it was about exploring new places and trying new foods, it was about detouring without a map and walking without a destination. It was also about the unexpected choices that surprise after many years of marriage (…really, you didn’t think that I would pick the alligator appetizer?). It was a wonderful time away – home, memory and adventure woven together as one.

It was also a helpful reminder of something I too often overlook or simply choose to ignore – I generally fare much better when I recognize

my need for greater balance in my work, daily routines and commitments. This is not a new learning or insight.

Indeed, I often return from holiday with a similar recognition and familiar resolve – to eat better, walk more, worry less; to go to bed earlier and wake up rested; to spend less time in front of the computer and more time reading my stack of unfinished novels; to re-connect with friends, to discover the ever elusive hobby or pastime, and to allow more time for myself – to do all these things and more throughout the year, to find a renewed sense of balance.

Here priority is given to a life that is lived full throttle and thoroughly engaged, with downtime seen as a liability.

Success is highly valued and regarded as a measure of commitment and resolve. Those who place second are often seen as losers, lost in a world where there is little place for those who do not win. This is a world in which there is often little allowance for the many rhythms of life and little recognition of the importance of balance.

Such recognition is found within many of the world’s faith traditions – those familiar with Jewish traditions will recognize the sig-

There is a measure of comfort in knowing that I am not alone, that others often describe a similar experience and a similar hope. We live in a world that values work and productivity and that rewards accomplishment and achievement. It is a world where opportunities are not to be lost or overlooked and time is seen as a commodity that should not be wasted, a world where dreaming has been supplanted by reality television and where recreation has become serious business. This is a world where bigger, better, and more are valued and where “yes” is a dominant motif.

nificance of Shabbat, of observing Sabbath time; those familiar with Christian traditions will recognize a similar significance in the observation of the Lord’s Day. The capacity to say “no” is found at the heart of each of these traditions. Sabbath is rooted in an ability to say “no” to the busy-ness of life, to the familiar, often comfortable and too often expected measures by which we define ourselves and measure our worth. In saying “no” we are able to find a new balance, to reengage our freedom, a freedom that once again allows us to say “yes” to all that affirms life.

In saying “no” – in the practice of Sabbath – we carve out a space in our lives where we may once again encounter and be encountered by the living God. Here we will find once more the holiness that is ours, and the wholeness for which we yearn.

It was a wonderful holiday, threads of home, memory and adventure woven together, offering refreshment and a renewed sense of balance. It was also an invitation to know the gift of Sabbath time.

What would it be like, I wonder, to not wait once more for next year’s holiday? What would it be like to accept that invitation today?

Advertising is a key element to any business’ success, but especially for a home-based business. Although other businesses are often located in high-profile areas, home-based businesses are usually located in residential areas with limited traffic. Advertisement is crucial.

Peewee Sun Devils make fierce comeback Jen Scott / Special to the Peachland View The West Kelowna Sun Devils hosted the Kamloops Broncos on September 28 at the Shannon Woods field for the Sunday Peewee division football game.

West Kelowna opened the game with possession of the ball and ran in their first touchdown within the first few plays.

The Devils played fiercely, only allowing the Broncos to penetrate their end zone once for the single Kamloops touchdown of the day.

Both teams suffered numerous injuries in this high intensity game, with the Devils losing two of their Peachland players.

West Kelowna dominated the field in all four quarters, running in a total of eight touchdowns and successfully completing four converts for a final score of 52-7.

Next Sunday, the Devils take on the Kelowna Riders at the Parkinson Rec Centre field at 11 a.m.
