Okanagan-Coquihalla riding candidates By Cindy Fortin The 41st general federal election will be held on Monday, May 2nd, and over the next several days voters will have their last chance to get to know their local party representatives better.
The Okanagan-Coquihalla electoral district riding covers the towns of Penticton, Merritt, Summerland, Logan Lake, West Kelowna and Peachland. The six candidates vying for the riding are all new to most of us, so The View has provided a little information on each.
(Editor’s note: Due to the extended holiday Easter weekend, the Peachland View went to press just prior to the All-Candidates forum on Tuesday. Check out next week’s View for a full report on the forum and candidates’ responses.)
Dan Albas (Conservative) - a Penticton resident since 1981; attended Okanagan University College; his company is called Kick City Martial Arts; - he has served as a director on both the British Columbia and Penticton and Wine Country Chamber of Commerce, and led the United Way of the South Okanagan Similkameen to their most successful year ever in the 2007 campaign. - Albas was elected to Penticton city council in 2008. He is a recent recipient of Penticton’s “2005 Young Entrepreneur of the Year” award. - as a Member of Parliament Dan is committed to: focusing on service to constituents and accountability; open communication with his constituents, such as returning your calls, door knocking and a new website blog; working with provincial and municipal leaders to fund necessary infrastructure.

Sean Upshaw (Independent) - born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1961; a long time real estate agent. - considers himself an “Independent Conservative”. - claims that the process to nominate a Conservative candidate to replace Stockwell Day was flawed.

John Kidder (Liberal) - an agricultural economist, governance expert and technology entrepreneur - wants to be a part of replacing this government with one that better reflects Canada and Canadians. - says he was “born up north, raised in the east, and came of age in the west.” He has been a member of the Liberal Party since 1980. - he will hold the personal, business and community needs of others as his first order of business. “I know I would make a true, thoughtful and lasting contribution to our country and our riding.” - “I can serve and represent my constituents in parliament with strong determination, clear policy decisions and passionate drive.”
Dietrich Wittel (Independent) - Dr. Wittel has been a licenced medical doctor for 35 years. He practices holistic medicine. - ran as an independent for town council in Fairview, Alberta, and held that position for two years. Was the constituency president for the Reform Party in the Peace River region under Preston Manning. - says he is fed up with the choices that are before him as a voter. “I think people give up voting because they can’t see any positive, significant changes coming out of partisan politics.” - the Canada he envisions would have less costly higher education, place an emphasis on preventative health care, and end the concept Economy vs the Environment.

Making dreams come true in 2011 Help us make it happen The Peachland Lions Club will be holding their 13th Annual Golf Tournament on May 1, 2011. The event will once again be held at the Summerland Golf and Country Club as the Peachland Golf Course is still under construction. For the past 12 years we have raised funds to help those with disabilities. Last year we donated $13,000 to Agur Lake Camp located 20 km west of Summerland, B.C. The previous year our donation was presented to Camp Winfield, who provides camps for children with disabilities. Previously, we helped pay for a wheelchair accessible ramp into Okanagan Lake to coincide with the waterfront development done by the Municipality of Peachland. These were all made possible because of the involvement of local golfers and generous donations of the local business community. We are once again raising funds for 2011 and we are asking for your support. We ask you to consider our request and help us to achieve a new goal in our fund raising efforts. This year’s profits will make possible improvements to the Easter Seal Camp at Winfield and provide camperships for several children with disabilities. Your contribution and involvement in this Tournament will not only help make it a fun event but will also help us raise the funds required to assist those less fortunate than ourselves. Together we can raise the funds needed and help make dreams come true. Spots are still available for individual golfers or for teams of four. If you have any questions on our event or you can contact either Eldon Kerbes 250-767-0330 kerbesde@shaw.ca or Lynne Herrin at 250-767-6225 or 250-717-5538 herrin@shaw.ca. We thank you for your support

Editor’s Perspective
The love and hate of cats By Cindy Fortin Editor ∙ peachlandview@shaw.ca There seems to be two types of people in the world – cat lovers and cat haters. I sympathize with both, and understand the frustration that Holly “the fed-up neighbour” is experiencing. (See this week’s letter to the editor in The View.) Yes, cats do pee in the garden and bury their droppings, but they also have a positive side. Unlike a dog, cats require less attention, and if you need to get away for a few days, just an extra pile of food, some added water and a litter box is all they need. Cats have attitude, and they are probably happy that you’ve left them alone for a few days. They’re probably grateful for a holiday away from you, too. Most dogs, on the other hand, need to be entertained and let outside to do their business. And their sense of time is not great. If you leave them for even five minutes, they begin to panic, certain they have been abandoned. These days we are required to follow dogs around with little bags and scoop up their poop (usually just when a neighbour is driving by and waving.) Embarrassing. But cats must be laughing. Humans actually buy them gravel and put it in a box for them to relieve themselves -- inside the house! Dogs require more attention and will often whine and bark, while cats rarely bother you, except for some food maybe, and a friendly pat. And when they do, it’s on their terms. Cats love to rub their cheek against you, purr, and enjoy a scratch one moment, then rip your face off, the next. Dogs, on the hand never get enough of pats and scratches, and if you let them they’ll sit on your lap…all the time! Attention, attention, attention…that’s all they want. Dogs will pose for the camera doing the cutest things, while wearing the stupidest of outfits we force on them. But they’re happy to do it. Attention, attention, attention. Cats, on the other hand, like to play a joke on the photographer and shut their eyes the moment you try to snap a picture. I have hundreds of those. I do understand the frustration of having the neighbourhood cats use your garden as a bathroom. But all creatures have their benefits. You may have noticed a lot more evergreen bushes that decorate residential properties have died in recent years. We like to blame it on the deer, but often it is due to field or deer mice chewing on the roots. Have you noticed there are a lot more mice around? We once had many outdoor cats that kept the mouse population in check. Had there been more cats roaming free in Kelowna, the rabbit problem would have solved itself. Cats are actually interesting creatures. Some cat facts: Both humans and cats have identical regions of the brain responsible for emotion; a cat’s brain is more similar to a man’s brain than a dog (that explains everything!); a cat sees six times better than a human at night; blue-eyed pure white cats are frequently deaf; a cat’s jaw has only up and down motion. It does not have lateral motion, like a human or dog; a cat laps liquid up from the underside of its tongue, not the top; cats respond more readily to names with eeeee
Peachland Views Sponsor a child for Mother’s Day Dear Editor: Recently my sister got married. I remember her walking down the aisle amongst all the people looking at her in awe. As she took each step her smile became bigger and wider. The reason? She was staring straight into her soon-tobe husband’s eyes. As she stared at him I couldn’t help but glance over at my parents. They both were glowing with pride and excitement, but my mother in particular. People have always told my sister that she looks just like our mother, and it’s true – her eyes, her sense of humor and her passion to help those in need. Mom’s-to-be always wonder will my child be healthy? Will they have my smile? Will they be successful? This year, I started working at World Vision and have really been amazed by how similar the concerns of mothers everywhere are. While mothers in Africa also worry about these things, they worry about something that many mothers here do

not, like passing on HIV to their child. This year for Mother’s Day, I’ve decided to honour my mom by sponsoring a child in her name. I want her to know that her gift will help one mother in Africa gain access to medical treatment and counseling which will help prevent the transmission of HIV to her son or daughter. I know it will be a gift she will be proud to receive, especially since she passed on her desire to help change the world for the better on to me. I can’t think of a better way to thank my mom for the values she gave me and I want others to think of purchasing an alternative gift like this for their mother this Mother’s Day and show her that they’ve learned to care from her. Thank you Maryann Pereira and Happy Mother’s Day! Alicia Pereira, World Vision (647-926-7106)
Peek into the past This picture of the Peachland waterfront shows the only other known archway constructed in Peachland, over 100 years ago. In those days the main route in and out of town was the paddlewheeler ‘Okanagan’ and this is the dock where it arrived and their first impression was the ‘Peachland’ arch above the dock/gangway leading across Beach Avenue to Morrin & Thompson Store (Sunnyside Market). Visible on the dock are some of the freight, a horse draw slip, lumber, fruit boxes and hay for horses. The boat’s arrival was the was the big event of the day. An arch is being built this week at almost the exact location, but situated over the Centennial Walkway with official opening on May 23, 2011.

Peachland Views Animal cruelty is now acceptable Dear Editor; Animals are treated as a commodity that is expendable. They have no rights partly because the federal government has chosen to ignore a bill that would help them. The penalties imposed upon the offenders are nothing more than a slap on the wrist. It is important to know that change starts at the top. In 2005 a bill was introduced by Mark Holland to change these laws and so far it has gone nowhere. “Why?” many ask. To me it is because our federal government does not put any priority on this. It has been tabled so many times that it has almost forgotten. There have been thousands of signatures, walks and petitions to bring awareness to the legislature but to no avail. I think six years of not addressing this shows that we need a huge change in the people we elect to represent us. These laws and penalties were not put together by a group of people who did not research and do not work with animals. In BC alone there were over 7,000 cases of animal cruelty last year, according to the S.P.C.A., and those are the reported cases! If you look at what animals contribute to society it
The love and hate of cats Continued from Page 4... sounds; cats purr at the same frequency as an idling diesel engine, about 26 cycles per second; and cat’s urine glows under a black light. Now, if that last fact doesn’t impress the cat hater out there, I don’t know what will. Cats may be a nuisance at times, but then…none of us are purr-fect.

may outweigh what some people do. From a monetary point of view they save us money and provide needed services. 1. They serve the blind, hearing impaired, M.S. clients and are companions for the elderly who otherwise may not be able to live independently and would have to rely on health care services. They are used for therapy work in hospitals and care homes. 2. They are used in police and rescue work. 3. They are guard dogs for homes, yards and businesses. 4. They are our primary food source. If you have a pet or raise animals I’m sure that you rely on them for many things. For some it is a livelihood. I guess the rest of the animals who are not specifically trained are considered “chopped liver”, because that is what they are treated like. With no rights it is the norm to abuse or kill an animal with no significant consequences to the offender. The penalties given now are so lax that it does nothing to curb abuse. It is like saying that a person who does not have a university degree or a degree from a technical school should not have the same rights as a person that does. Discrimination, I guess takes many forms. In this “election” maybe it is time to clean house on

many issues. All I see are grown ups that act like they are on a TV series. Everything is for winning but no party leader is willing to work together for Canadians. If they did we would not be having another 300 million dollar election. I’m glad that we have politicians that believe we have this money to throw around every few years because of their inability to do their jobs and run the country like a democracy instead of a “little boys and girls club”. If you could find me a job where I could dictate my salary, not reveal my expense account, get all benefits, have three months or more off every year, and not get fired or replaced for any illegal action I did, I would really consider coming out of retirement and working again. When you are voting, maybe consider the education, the former experience of the candidate in all jobs, how they conduct themselves in public and especially if they base their platform on just criticism of other candidates with no constructive alternatives. It is so easy to criticize and give no alternative solutions – just watch the three leaders now. Their campaigns are run like a “kindergarten class gone wild.” Marion Irving, Peachland

Peachland Views Writer offers youth ideas for things to do Dear Nathan: I read with interest your letter to the editor, decrying the lack of things to do for young people. As an entrepreneur, I tend to see opportunities everywhere, and I see some humdingers in your future. Peachland has at its fingertips some of the finest recreation BC has to offer -- you just need to reach out and pick the fruit that is there. There is a patch of land at the top of Princeton Ave, which I drive by on the way to my new ZipZone Adventure Park. The sawmill used to be there many, many years ago. This is a perfect location for a BMX park, a motocross park and a skateboard park. I don’t know who owns it now, but maybe we could find out? Who knows, they might be willing to let you use it. A little further up the road there is ample space to build a community shooting range. Plinking, target shooting and clay pigeon shooting are all fantastic sports to be enjoyed by kids of all ages. A few thousand dollars and some volunteers are all that’s needed. The new schoolhouse will house the Boys and Girls Club and I’m sure they would love to haveMEETING an Xbox NOTICE: PUBLIC INFORMATION

I’m very busy right now building ZipZone, so I cannot spare the time to work on these projects, but if you can provide the energy, and do the work, I’m willing to provide whatever guidance I can. In the meantime, here are some things you can do for fun: • Volunteer at the Wellness Centre or the Senior’s Centre. Sure they’re full of old codgers, but boy they have some great stories to tell and are always so pleased to see young faces. • Go see Dianne and Tara at the library. They are so helpful; they’ll track down books on any subject you like. • Build model boats and sail them on the lake. There are some locals that would love to help you learn a new hobby, and this is a fun one! • Build a go-cart and race it with your friends.

mals. We have the world’s best scenery and so many neat animals live here. Have you seen the raccoons on Princeton yet? They’re hilarious. • Learn to fish. Get Dad out there with a rod. He’ll show you how, or maybe you can show him. • Learn to make traps and shelters. There are some great books on First Nations and other wilderness skills. • Learn to cook. Making a special meal will melt the heart of any girl (including your Mom!) • Join the Air Cadets. They’ll teach you to fly! • Go Geocaching. There are some treasures buried very close to you, if you know where to look. As a final tip, remember that old people know stuff, have stuff, can get more stuff and can drive stuff around. Retired people are bored silly most of the time and would love a chance to help you, if you’ll let them. You just have to ask politely. Kevin Bennett, President ZipZone Adventure Park, Peachland
Cats are a nuisance too! Dear ”Your Neighbour Sandy”; It is not often that someone irritates me enough to write a letter to a newspaper but you apparently are an overachiever. You complain about the neighbour’s dog and brag about your three cats that you hope are “not much of a bother to my neighbours.” I’ll let you in on a secret. Your cats are bothering the heck out of your neighbours. They’re crapping in any patch of sand or gravel they can find in the neighbour’s yard, whether it’s the driveway, flowerbeds or children’s sand box. Whether they are fixed or not they are still peeing in the neighbour’s yard and cat pee smells! They’re by your neighbour’s bird feeder stalking and slaughtering those sweet little birds that you claim to like listening to. They’re prowling around your neighbour’s yard becoming one of the reasons your neighbour’s dog is barking. There are only two possible reasons your neighbours haven’t complained to you about your cats. They don’t want to make waves (yet!) or they don’t know you own those “hunters and explorers.” Don’t bother saying I must be a cat or animal hater. Over the 30 plus years I have lived in Peachland I have loved, housed and fed a large variety of dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents and reptiles. I no longer have a dog. Maybe if I did I wouldn’t have those eight different cats invading my yard. Hey, maybe some of them are yours. If so, please come and get them. Your fed-up neighbour, Holly

Puttin’ on the Glitz, an evening to remember
News from the 50+ Activity Centre By Sandy Polvere Once again, the 50+ Activity Centre has been bustling with recent activity. On Sunday, April 10, the Peachland Variety Singers celebrated their 35th year by performing a very exhilarating concert. The room was filled with beautiful harmony when all these fabulous voices came together in song. Led by Phyllis Papineau, the choir entertained the audience with numerous favourite melodies. Tea, delicious sandwiches, homemade sweets and an anniversary cake were served by the choir after the concert to complete a delightful celebration! This past Wednesday evening, the Peachland & District Retirement Society had a table at the Volunteer Fair that was held at the community centre. Thank you to all the folks who stopped by our table to chat with us. I trust you found the information on the activities offered by the 50+ informative. Extra brochures are available at the office. At the March 24 bingo, the loonie pot of $50 was won by Phyllis and then on April 7, the senior’s special valued at $120 was won by Marie. Well done, ladies! The loonie pot has started to grow already and the senior’s special will start over again and continue to grow each week until it’s won again. Upcoming events…The bunnies will be hopping soon as there is a special Easter bingo planned for Thursday, April 21. In addition to the regular games and as
part of the celebration, a singular Easter game will be played and one lucky winner will take home $100. To top it off, there will be free coffee, sandwiches and homemade dessert. Everyone is welcome, so bring a bingo buddy with you and join in on the fun. Don’t forget, bingo starts at 6:45 pm sharp. We look forward to seeing you there. Due to the Easter weekend, the next potluck supper will be held on Friday, April 29 starting at 6:00 pm. Don’t forget this is a week later than usual, so please mark your calendars now. The entertainment for the evening will be a musical trio amusing the crowd by playing Bavarian Alpine music on zithers. This group has played for us before and is adored; so they are back by popular demand. Please bring your favourite dish to share and plan to enjoy a scrumptious meal, great conversation and amazing entertainment. We are still selling tickets for the Greater Victoria Police Chorus performing on Thursday, May 5. For your convenience, tickets may be purchased at the 50+ Activity Centre office (250-767-9133) Monday to Friday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 am, from Peachland Home & Garden on Beach Ave., or The Clothes Pin Laundry & Dry Cleaners located in Westbank Shopping Centre near Tim Horton’s south. Tickets are $10 each and are selling fast. Once again, please note that there will be no bingo on that night. That’s all for now folks, so until next time…see you at the 50+ Activity Centre!

of us were shocked that a move typically associated with socialist governments would be brought forward by a Liberal government. Nevertheless, the Clark government swung way out to the left and brought in the change. At first glance many would have thought that there is benefit to providing a higher wage to those at the bottom of the income scale. On second thought we have to ask, where is the extra $2.25 per hour [28 per cent] coming from? It is coming from all the small business owners operating in Peachland. They have to dig into their pockets and pay this increase. Certainly they can increase their costs in which case the shoppers pay. In fact to keep their books in balance they could even let some employees go. So who wins? That is why increases to minimum wages by government edict always doing more harm than good. Now if the person in the lowest income category receives a raise of $2.25 per hour what about the ones earning more than minimum wage now? Don’t you think those people would like to obtain a raise as well to maintain their wage relationship to minimum wage? Of course they would. So it doesn’t really matter who you employ as a small business owner, the costs of operating your business just went up, complements of the Liberal government. Christy Clark has announced a by-election and if she is elected she can sit in the legislature. She could, up to that date, change her mind and call a provincial election instead. That would give us all a chance to indicate what we feel about the recent events such as the ham-handed way the HST was introduced and now taking a page from the NDP book and raising minimum wages. This is not the type of government I want for this province and I’m sure you feel the same way. Ron Beer, Peachland

“A Leap of Faith?”`
Easter is much more than just a holiday and chocolate By Rev. Elaine Diggle, Minister, Peachland United Church For six weeks now, millions of Christians around the world have been travelling a Lenten Journey. At the beginning of their journey was Ash Wednesday when for many eight purple candles plus a large white Christ candle were lit. On that day the first of the eight purple candles was extinguished. On each of the next six Sundays of Lent an extra purple candle has been extinguished, leaving the eighth purple one and the White Christ candle to be extinguished at the Good Friday service. The Light of the World has gone out with the death, by crucifixion, of Jesus of Nazareth. Why would millions of people around the world be doing this? For followers of Jesus, who is seen as the light of the world, Lent is as much a journey into the dark recesses of our souls, a self examination in the light of Jesus’ teachings, as it is an anticipation of the light of Jesus’ love,teaching and life, being extinguished on the cross over 2000 years ago. In our present secular society it is easy to see Easter as a couple of statutory holidays at the beginning of spring. Time to get the lawns aerated, deadhead perenniels, prune the roses, check the watering systems, buy a lot of chocolate that we don’t really need and may be cook a ham, turkey or lamb. Perhaps you have hidden little chocolate Easter eggs around your property for the children or grandchildren to find Easter Sunday with clues at each hiding place to send them off looking for the next chocolate goody. I remember well the delight that our two young sons had as they went off looking through the garden in

Papatoetoe for the pairs of small chocolate eggs that their father had hidden, along with a clue for another cache. None of these activities are wrong in their own right. We are not asked to live our lives with no joy and delight in small things. But is it wise to give our children the example that Easter is about a completely fictional “Easter Bunny” who brings lots of chocolate Easter eggs any time from February onwards? Yes, the egg was used by many early Christians as a symbol of life, and for many a tradition grew up of dyeing hardboiled eggs red and gifting them. For Ukrainian Canadians there is the wonderful tradition of ‘pysanky’. Those amazingly exquisite eggs that take many hours to make. Perhaps we need to take stock of why we celebrate Easter. Forget the commercial hype, look to making small joys with our families and friends, things that we can do together, create together. Jesus did not say “I came to bring you lots of chocolate eggs and bun-
nies at Easter”, no he said “ I came to bring you life, abundant life, life brimming over with God’s love and Grace; life full of joy in loving relationships with those around you, life made worthwhile when you give a helping hand to those in need. So as we follow Jesus’ last week on earth, as we remember, on Good Friday, the dreadful death which he suffered; as we wait through the vigil of Easter Saturday evening, awaiting the returning of Light into our world. We see the empty tomb and the wonderment of those women who were the first to understand that Jesus was not bound by death and we give thanks for God’s redeeming love. And as we light all eight purple candles and the large white Christ candle on Easter Sunday, symbol of the light of the resurrected Christ back in our world, as we sing Allelujahs of joy that God so loved us, may we carry that understanding of joy and sense of wonder into our lives each day as daily we give thanks for this most wonderful gift of the Creator’s love. May it be so.

Geneva Miller. It is with much sadness we announce the passing of Geneva Grace Miller in Summerland on April 10, 2011. Geneva moved to Peachland with her parents in 1937. Sadly predeceased by her husband Archie S. Miller in 2008. Survived by two daughters Sherrie (Jack) Webster of Kelowna and Kelli (Len) Oystryk of Calgary, two grandchildren Amber (Dip) Kotak and John (Janelle) Webster and one great granddaughter Addison. Her family will miss her witty humour and sense of fun. A special thank you to the staff at Dr. Andrew Pavilion and to Karla and Alice for their compassionate care. A family graveside service will follow. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com.
