Okanagan communities to receive Art Chairs from Lake Country ArtWalk organizers

These chairs, created by artists Alex Fong, Bobby Vanderhoorn and Cathy Auburn, will be coming to Peachland soon, courtesy of the Lake Country ArtWalk.

nated to the community by organizers of the Lake Country ArtWalk.

Like many fixtures on the festival scene, Lake Country’s ArtWalk event was cancelled this year due to COVID-19, leaving organizers wondering how they could still support artists and engage the public.

In response, their planning committee commissioned 45 artists to turn basic Muskoka/ Adirondack style chairs into works of art to be dispersed into municipalities throughout the Okanagan.

Fourteen communities, including Peachland, will see the appearance of a cluster of three Art Chairs somewhere in a park or along a beach, said Dr. Sharon McCoubrey, ArtWalk chairperson, in a release.

McCoubrey says the Art Chairs project was created in part to support artists.

“Not only did it give them an art making job amid the shut-down void, it also stretched their typical creative processes,” McCoubrey said. “They needed an uplifting project such as this to add

a spark to their summer.”

The project was also designed to provide art experiences for the public.

“We are so pleased to be able to follow the initial sadness of cancelling Lake Country ArtWalk earlier in the spring with such a fun and accessible community art project,” said McCoubrey.

“Knowing that artists were busy making art this summer and knowing that these beautiful Art Chairs will be found within our Okanagan communities, marks the 2020 year for ArtWalk in a special way.”

Cheryl Wiebe, director of community services, said staff consulted with the Peachland Community Arts Council and the project has their support.

In her report to Peachland council Wiebe said the ArtWalk society will be posting the locations of the chairs on their website, which may also attract new visitors to the community.

“This public art project is intended to be a temporary installation anticipating that

it will be a two-year term.

However, the actual decision about how long the chairs remain in place is Peachland’s decision,” Wiebe said. “At the end of term, the chairs will become an asset of the community to be relocate, to be given a different use, to be repainted, or to be removed.”

Wiebe recommended the Art Chairs be installed in Heritage Park.

“I think it’s a lovely idea,” Councillor Terry Condon said. “I just question whether or not Heritage Park is the right place for them.”

Coun. Condon suggested that given this is an art walk project, maybe they should place them in different parks and encourage people to walk between them.

Wiebe said the initial thought was to put them in the pavilion over the winter.

“We will be renovating Heritage Park next year and it might be a neat feature, but certainly if council has a recommendation for staggering them throughout the community, we can certainly entertain that,” Wiebe said.

Mayor Cindy Fortin wondered how the redesign of Heritage Park might impact their placement in that location but felt it could be worked out.

“They are really nice. They will be an attraction,” Mayor Cindy Fortin said.

Councillor Mike Kent suggested that if the Historic School Accessible Plaza Society is successful in creating the plaza project they proposed back in August, that location would be ideal.

“I think for the time being Heritage Park, but those would look great if we ever moved forward with that addition to the schoolhouse,” Coun. Kent said. “Being out there in front and being fixtures on that platform if that gets approved, I think those would be a nice, complementing piece to that.”

Councillor Patrick Van Minsel said the project will attract visitors in the shoulder season, which he is totally in favour of.

“I think they’re awesome,” said Councillor Pam Cunningham.

Resident bewildered by bear paw

Keith MacIntyre to run for BC Libertarians

PHOTO TRACIE GORDON

JOANNE LAYH Imagine coming home from work to find a severed bear paw on your driveway.

That’s what happened to Tracie Gordon last Monday. Gordon pulled up to her Renfrew Road home and was shocked at what awaited her on the driveway.

Initially Gordon wondered if the bear paw could be real. A bunch of flies surrounding the paw and the sight of severed tendons as she turned it over gave Gordon her answer.

Gordon talked to her neighbours to see if they’d seen anything suspicious or come across anything similar in their yards.

“Nobody had seen anything,” Gordon told the View.

Gordon put a call in to the conservation officer but hasn’t heard anything back, likely because there is no emergency and the public isn’t at risk, she believes.

“It was just really alarming and I was confused by it,” Gordon said, adding she believes that maybe a bird picked it up from somewhere else or an animal left it there.

“I have no idea. It just didn’t make any sense and seemed kind of weird,” said Gordon.

Gordon’s family has a dog and didn’t want any other animals attracted to the yard so they quickly removed the paw from the property.

PEACHLAND VIEW Keith MacIntyre has been acclaimed as the BC Libertarian candidate in Penticton in the upcoming provincial election.

In a release sent last Friday morning, MacIntyre said he is in the process of gathering the last of the remaining required 75 signatures to file the nomination papers with Elections BC. MacIntyre has been a resident of Penticton for the last 10 years and is the owner of Big Bear Software and president of the Okanagan School of Arts.

“This election is a challenging one as we will not be able to discuss in person over Thanksgiving dinner with our fam-

ilies, or in a pub after 10 p.m. I have faith that the constituents in the Penticton riding are looking for something different,” MacIntyre said.

“A vote for the BC Libertarian Party is a vote for those of us who feel like there isn’t a party that resonates. A vote for me sends a message to the two big parties in BC that we aredisillusioned with both of them,” MacIntyre said.

The British Columbia Libertarian Party advocates for individual liberty, lower taxes, free markets and smaller government.

If MacIntyre is successful in filing his nomination papers, he’ll be going up against incumbent BC Liberal Dan Ashton and BC NDP candidate Toni Boot.

Don’t discard masks on ground On a recent grocery trip, I noticed three disposable masks on the pavement where I parked my car.

Would people discard these items outside their own driveways? Someone has to pick up that garbage, eventually adding to the cost of your groceries. Perhaps establishments could put a bin outside their door for the disposal of such items.

More and more we see tragic pictures of birds and animals tangled in discarded masks.

Masks are going to be a way of life for the foreseeable future.

Be responsible and dispose of your masks at home.

Laughter is the best medicine, resident is recently reminded

I was recently at my job in Peachland and a customer told me to get away from her.

What?

I realized she was wearing a fish mask and I was wearing my cat mask. Oh, we laughed!

Wearing a mask reminds me of when I was growing up in Toronto and my mother would tie the scarf up and over my mouth because it was too cold to breath some winter days.

You may have strong feelings about masks, but I did not want to write a letter about them.

I know we can survive without food for a couple of days if we stay hydrated but please let us not lose our sense of humour.

They say it is one of the best medicines for you. Laughing is like aerobics for your lungs.

If you can’t laugh with others then laugh at yourself.

I love strolling down Beach Avenue on my day off and hearing people laugh because we do not live in the worst of times but we do live in one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Thankful, Barbie Rattray, Peachland

COMMENTARY | OPINION

MP asserts prorogation of Parliament led to insufficient debate and review of bill MP DAN ALBAS Before PM Trudeau prorogued Parliament back in August, it was not set to resume regular sittings until September 21.

Once the PM broke his promise not to use prorogation, he did so, in order to shut down the Parliamentary Committees investigating the WE scheme.

Parliament was again further delayed until September 23.

Last Wednesday was September 23 and became the date of the Throne Speech that I covered in last week’s report.

This week the government has tabled Bill C-4 that is the latest COVID relief re-

sponse bill.

What was disappointing about this is that the Trudeau Liberal Government only allowed a little over four hours of debate time on a proposed in excess of $50 billion worth of deficit spending.

Why did the Trudeau Liberal Government do this?

Because there was not enough time after existing programs all ran out.

By proroguing Parliament, and delaying the return of the House, the time that should have been spent properly debating and reviewing this bill at committee stage was entirely lost.

In other words, the prime minister created this situation solely to cover for the

WE scandal and that has now come at the expense of legitimate democratic debate on a critically important bill.

Why does debate and committee stage review matter?

As many will know throughout this pandemic response there have been a significant number of gaps and unintended barriers that have prevented those in need from getting the help that a response program was intended to provide.

As a result, throughout these past months, the government has been perpetually playing catch up on the fly, typically after these gaps and barriers are raised by the Opposition.

Some are still yet to get help because of this approach.

In this instance Parliament finally had an opportunity to be proactive and study and debate a critically important bill prior to it coming into effect.

Instead the prime minister was more concerned with shutting down and proroguing Parliament so that the Parliamentary Committees, who were uncovering uncomfortable and alarming evidence over the WE scheme.

So this opportunity for proactive debate and study was squandered.

This is a massive failure by the prime minister, putting ahead the need for

Voter questions promises made during election time Knock! Knock! I look out my window and I see a politician standing on my doorstep.

Do I answer the door?

Is it just another peddler peddling merchandise that dreams are made of or is it the real thing?

At my age the thin veil of believing in a politician is very thin indeed.

The history I have lived concerning promises given by political parties and politicians at election times and even after elections is in the fog of disbelief.

I sit here after years waiting for appropriate legislation on online racism and prostitution that occurs freely across Canada, and I wonder which political party, provincial and federal have done anything about it other then talk, and talk, and talk, and talk about it.

These two subject matters have been around for centuries but like the politicians of the past, action means little more than conversation.

There are other subject matters such as slumlords in our community, seniors not being able to find affordable housing and quite frankly probably some who may not even have the money to move.

Who is discussing questions like why food banks need to exist as the costs of living on every level keeps rising and food prices keep

going up, everything else keeps going up in costs.

These days this dilemma is projected as something new but the fact is it’s been around for decades and how did the politicians solve it, the rising costs? They didn’t and they don’t.

You could say talk, speeches, party platforms and political parties are motivation speakers who try to ply an ambitious dream of a phantom world that re-

ally doesn’t exist. Grains of sand and salt have more substance.

Well at my age I can see through the clouds of deceit at election times, and even when governments are formed they are ambitious in the fog of dialogue, but they seldom come out into the light to show who they truly are while hiding behind the same old rhetoric of years of same old repeated dialogue, “this is what

we can do for you.”

Ah, the grain of salt it has more substance and we can sprinkle it to our taste and the shaker can be put back behind the cupboard doors out of sight until it’s needed next.

But as for the people we elect, we are stuck with them in perpetuity like centuries old dialogue and inaction we will have to eat it.

Cran Campbell, Langley

political cover over the importance of properly debating and studying the bill in question.

As it would happen the bill was ultimately passed unanimously, however it was not studied and committee nor was it extensively debated.

As a result, there are many unknown details.

For example, how smoothly will the CERB benefit transition into the new EI version of this benefit?

Likewise, Canadians

still have no idea what the current status is of the EI account (which is paid for, through premiums, by employees and employers) and if these proposed new programs are sustainable.

These are all very serious questions and there is no answer to date.

My question this week: Are you satisfied with the current direction of this Liberal Government?

Wellness centre to bear the cost of comprehensive insurance

FILE PHOTO JOANNE LAYH

JOANNE LAYH Last Tuesday district council approved the renewal of the Peachland Wellness Centre’s lease for another five-year term but going forward the agreement will no longer require the municipality to reimburse the wellness centre for

the cost of comprehensive insurance.

Director of community services Cheryl Wiebe said the municipality has renewed several contracts in recent years and is making an ongoing effort to bring all leases into alignment so that user groups are receiving the same perks and benefits.

As contracts have come up for renewal, the clause pertaining to insurance has been deleted from all agreements as insurance is considered part of the cost of doing business.

For that reason, Wiebe said it is staff’s recommendation that the insurance clause also be deleted from the wellness centre’s new contract.

In her rationale to council, Wiebe pointed out that municipal funding for the organization has increased substantially over recent years.

Annual civic grant funding requests from the wellness centre have increased from $1,000 in 2013 to $15,000 in 2020.

In her report to council, Wiebe also noted if phase two of the seniors housing project progresses forward in the next five years, the agreement contains a six-month written notice for either the Lessee or the Lessor to cancel the lease.

Crash kills motorcyclist PEACHLAND VIEW A motorcyclist is dead following a collision with a pickup truck on Highway 97 at Hardy Street early Sunday afternoon.

The motorcyclist suffered serious injuries and was being treated by BC Ambulance Service and the Peachland fire department but sadly, the male driver succumbed to his injuries at the scene, said West Kelowna RCMP Cpl Meghan Foster.

The next of kin has been located and notified of the driver’s passing.

Highway traffic was backed up along Highway

97 in Peachland for much of the afternoon as a result of on and off closures to assist investigators and a traffic analyst who came to aid in the investigation.

The events leading up to the crash are still under investigation.

It was hours before the scene was cleared and the highway reopened in late afternoon.

Police are seeking assistance from any witnesses to the collision that were not already interviewed by the police officers at the scene. Witnesses are asked to call the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880.

Coping with age-related hair loss Attitude goes a long way in regard to self-esteem.

With a positive spin, it’s possible to get through difficult situations and even have a favourable outlook on getting older. But even the most optimistic among us may at times worry about the physical signs of aging and wonder what can be done to make them feel and look their best.

Wrinkles and a little extra weight around the middle certainly garner attention, but hair loss is another age-related concern.

As people age, their hair changes in several ways.

Graying through loss of melanin pigment is the most apparent.

Strands of hair also can become less dense and smaller through the years. Many follicles also may stop producing new hairs.

Regardless of age, it is customary for a person to lose about 100 hairs a day. If those hairs are not replaced as readily as they once were, patches of thinning and balding hair may appear.

The rate at which hair falls out is largely determined by genetics, according to Headcovers Unlimited, a company that produces wigs, scarves and other headwraps. But nearly everyone will experience some sort of age-related hair loss. Hormonal changes during menopause can cause noticeable thinning and scalp exposure that may be mistaken for actual hair loss.

There are many ways to mitigate hair loss. Here

are some handy tips.

• Try a new cut. Work with your stylist to determine a haircut that can suggest the appearance of thickness and camouflage the loss of density or bare spots. Graduated layers kept close to the face can help, as can pixie cuts. Men can choose to go entirely bald and bold.

• Treat hair gently. Avoid harsh chemical processes and constant heat styling. Protect fragile hair from damage by pampering it.

• Look for thickening formulas. Many shampoos, serums and conditioners tout volumizing or thickening properties. These can help plump up hair and make thinning less apparent.

• Talk to your doctor. Hair loss may be a result of medication, a skin condition or aging. Doctors may suggest products, such as Minoxidil and Lipogaine formulas, that can be used on the scalp to reduce hair loss and help follicles produce new hair strands.

Hair thinning and hair loss can be a symptom of getting older. Knowledge is key to improve hair’s appearance at any age.
