Well-known pioneer family to celebrate 100 years in Peachland

By Cindy Fortin

This Wednesday, May 11 will mark exactly 100 years since the first of the Topham family arrived on the shores of Peachland. To mark the milestone centennial the Tophams and large extended family will converge on Peachland for a special celebration on July 2.

Fred Topham, his wife Beatrice Mary, and their four young children first stepped off the Aberdeen paddle wheeler in May of 1911. Enticed by the persuasive brochures of the Okanagan, Fred Topham, who had come from England to Winnipeg in 1904, traded his two Winnipeg houses for 10 acres of orchard land in Peachland, sight unseen.

Fred was born in Old Wittington, England in 1881. Beatrice (nee Broscomb) was born in West Leeds, Sheffield, England, in 1883. Fred married Beatrice in England in 1904, just after returning from the Boer War, and just prior to immigrating to Canada.

Karen Martin, one of only two Tophams who remain in Peachland, -the other one being her cousin, Peachland Fire Chief Grant Topham --, remembers her grandmother as being “wonderful and very organized”, while her grandfather was “very military.”

“They were very English people, having come from England. There was that staunch, upper lip mentality. No one ever whined or sniveled over things that were going wrong. And they were a very supportive family to one another,” says Martin.

A stonemason by trade, Fred Topham, did this type of work, and brick laying, as well as caring for his orchard.

His orchard was ravaged by frost the first year, so he found work where he could, including on St. Michael’s Anglican Church in Kelowna. The beautiful archways and entrances remain a monument to his skill and handiwork.

Fred also built cisterns and chimneys around town. For one job he received a Jersey cow in payment. He also erect-

ed the cenotaph after the monument, which commemorates those Peachlanders who lost their lives in war.

The family lived in a log tent-home while their house was being built. They first lived above Lipsett, then moved to Turner Avenue, near where Victoria and Minto join. In 1947 they retired to a house on Beach Avenue, the second house south of 4th Street.

Fred and Beatrice Mary Topham had a total of eight children: George, Fred, Beatrice Mary (known as Polly, who is Martin’s mother), Elizabeth, Arthur, Peter, Charles (Grant Topham’s father), and Ann. Fred served on municipal council as reeve (or mayor) in 1934 and 1935, and was a trustee with the irrigation district, as well as served in the church and community at large. Beatrice was devoted to serving on the women’s auxiliary of the Royal Canadian Legion, and also of the Peachland and District Retirement Services.

Back in the early days of Peachland, there were no roads in or out of town, so families often lived close to one another, and were close-knit.

“I just think of how the family was so tremendously amazing to stick together they really instilled a lot of values that they passed onto their families. I think that feeling of family has kept us all together and makes us look forward to getting together,” says Martin.

This summer, on the July long weekend, she expects that between 50 to 70 Tophams will arrive for the special celebrations. Friday, July 1, they will have a Topham float in the Canada Day parade with a “fruit” theme, which goes back to their roots in Peachland.

Then on July 2, the family will gather at the 50+ Activity Centre.

But events that weekend will not just be limited to Topham family members.

They will have an open house between 2:30 pm and 4 pm, says Martin, “for friends and neighbours to drop by and enjoy a visit with the Topham family.”

Dan Albas wins Okanagan-Coquihalla by a landslide

Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas gives his victory speech in front of his family, friends and supporters at the Penticton Golf and Country Club following his landslide win on May 2.

By Cindy Fortin With more than half of the votes in the May 2nd federal election cast in his favour, Dan Albas left the other five candidates vying for the Okanagan-Coquihalla seat in his dust. Voters gave Albas a confident 53.6 per cent nod.

Albas, who replaced retiring MP Stockwell Day, will vacate his seat on Penticton city council for a spot in the House of Commons as a Conservative MP. “I am very humbled and honoured to step up and serve in this capacity as the Member of Parliament for

Okanagan-Coquihalla,” said Albas, when contacted by The View.

“I’m just looking forward to getting on with the business of parliament. Prime Minister Harper wants to get down to business as quickly as possible. We have a strong mandate and we want to deliver on our promises.”

Albas was far ahead of the other candidates in votes. NDP David Finnis took second place with 24.1 per cent of the vote, and Liberal John Kidder took finished third with 10.9 per cent.

The three remaining candidates, the Green Party’s Dan Bouchard, Conservative Independent Sean Upshaw, and Independent Deitrich Wittel, received 9.4 per cent, 1.6 per cent, and .3 per cent of the vote, respectively.

A relatively high 62.5 per cent of Okanagan-Coquihalla registered voters cast a ballot, representing 53,229 votes out of a possible 85,117.

Albas realizes that he has big shoes to fill over the next few years.

“Stockwell had an amazing capacity to connect with the people, and so I’m looking forward to doing the same. I plan to reach out to people, including through new technology, such as blogs and the web, and by door knocking to get that critical feedback,” said Albas.

The Conservative government won their first outright majority since 1988 by claiming 167 seats, while the New Democrats under Jack Layton captured Official Op-

position status for the first time in their party’s history, with 102 seats. The Liberals under Michael Ignatieff finished with only 34 seats, while Gilles Duceppe’s Block Quebecois managed only a measly four seats, down from 40 in the previous election. Elizabeth May of the Green Party became the first member of her party to win a seat. May won in the riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands.

Are these geese goose’s cooked?

This content looking pair of Canadian geese seem unaware that their fate is currently being determined by the municipality. Each year “goose management” is a hot topic in town, and this year is no different. At a recent Committee of the Whole meeting information was submitted by Doug Allin, director of operations, on the various options for handling the goose problem on our shores – the biggest irritant being their droppings. Those solutions included hiring a dog and handler to scare off the fowl, the addling (or shaking) of their eggs to stop the chicks from becoming viable, educating the public on the negative outcome of feeding the geese and ducks, which may include a stern on-the-spot lesson or even a fine, if caught doing it, or the least popular solution of applying for a kill permit to shoot them. The Regional District is currently addling goose eggs, and it was decided by Council to wait until those results were known before making a decision.

Editor’s Perspective

What an election!

By Cindy Fortin Editor ∙ peachlandview@shaw.ca Wow! What a week. There were no shortage of news stories over the last week or so, of varying intensity - a royal wedding, the hockey playoffs (the Canucks toying with our hockey-frayed emotions), the capture and death of the world’s most wanted villain, Osama bin Laden, deadly storms across the U.S. southern states, and, of course, a historic Canadian federal election. It has been a smorgasbord of news for any reporter.

However, today I will limit myself to the federal election.

While we all may have expected the election to produce results somewhat different than in the last two elections, no one could predict such a major change.

Each and every party was altered.

The Conservatives won a strong majority, claiming 167 of the 308 seats in the House of Commons. The next few years will truly be the time to judge the performance of Stephen Harper’s government, now that he won’t be held back by the threat of another election in the next year or so, and the non-confidence bullying.

You can almost hear the next session of Parliament with the other parties threatening to vote “non-confidence” on a tabled issue, only to have Prime Minister Harper, – with his trademark shrug and one-sided grin --, calmly replying, “Whatever.”

The NDP under Jack Layton won an impressive number of ridings, giving them the status of the Official Opposition for the first time in their party’s 50-year history. Even Jack Layton appeared bowled over by the results. They claimed 102 seats, up from 37 in 2008.

The Liberals got a reality check, dropping from 77 seats to 44, and losing their Official Opposition status. Ignatieff immediately announced his resignation as party chief. His entire campaign and resignation speech were as lively and exciting as the Canucks/ Predators series. (While, in comparison, Layton’s jubilation could be compared to the seventh game of the Canucks/Blackhawks series.)

Elizabeth May of the Green Party made history by becoming the first member of her party to win a seat.

While she won’t have much power in parliament, it may only be just the beginning of a positive climb for the Greens.

And, finally, I saved Mr. Gilles Duceppe of the Bloc Quebecois for last. While I’ve never been particularly fond of the man, I did feel a twinge of sympathy for him, sinking from 40 seats to a pitiful four, which will no longer allow him official party status. I’m sure I heard blood vessels popping in his brain as he stared dully at the unbelievable results befalling his party.

(At least, I think I heard some vessels popping, but I couldn’t understand them, they were in French.)

The next four years should be exciting ones, or devastating, for the citizens of Canada. Either way, you can be certain, if it was change the people wanted, it is change they got!

Now if the Canucks would just pull up their skate straps and do us proud…

Peachland Views Strathallan Castle I saw some daffodils today, they nodded and I smiled, At all the memories they recalled of when I was a child.

The stately homes of Scotland would hold an annual fair, The families came out in hordes to see the grandeur there.

‘Twas not so much the castle but ‘twas always fun to peer inside the great halls hung with tapestries of deer.

They’d serve you tea if you should venture through the door Well, just if you behave yourselves, the parents would implore.

A tour of the home stables was always a delight.

And to see how clean the pigs were their pink tails curled up tight.

But best of all was just to stare, and drink in deep the view, Of miles of golden daffodils all growing there for you!

Francis Bastiaanse, Peachland

Peek into the past Recently a 25 pound Kamloops trout was caught near Westbank.

Fishing has always been great in the Peachland area and this picture shows a day’s catch in the early 1950s. The CPR wharf is in the background, now the site of the cenotaph. The boat is where day wharf is today.The old boat is named for Sunnyside store owner Len Fulks wife, Flo. Also visible in the background is Clements Store, now the Greek Restaurant.

Homeopathic children’s remedies

By Lorraine Bromley As a mother of two, I know how often kids pick up illnesses quickly before their immune systems become resilient. The first years of life are vital in keeping them strong, and this also includes free of immune destroying antibiotics. Kids seem to take antibiotics for everything. Unfortunately, the more one uses them, the more one will continue to get sick and will continue to use them. This vicious cycle can lead to chronic diseases in the future lives of these children.

As a homeopath, I never use antibiotics on my children and, yes, they do sometimes get sick! One of the reasons they are so healthy, along with good nutrition, exercise and a relatively stressfree life, is this lack of antibiotics in the first place. For those of you out there who would like to try another route of healthcare, I have written this quick "homeopathic helper' to give kids the best start in life; to be drug-free and healthy. To be used for acute disorders, which are disorders of short duration and in need of urgent care.

For chronic diseases, I recommend making an appointment with a homeopath as this requires a much more in-depth consultation and analysis.

Following are common children's remedies; chil-

dren requiring these will exhibit key symptoms as noted and may be for a wide range of common illnesses, such as ear pain, teething, colds and flu, fevers and emotional states. Match the symptoms and behaviour to the remedy. Remedies are available from most health food shops such as Nature’s Fare or from online stores. The best potency for acute disorders is 200c, and can be taken under the tongue.

Aconite (Wolfsbane plant) - Pain and fear is very intense; restlessness; very acute symptoms, rapid onset; sudden shock; high fever with sweating; becomes ill after exposure to extreme weather or changes in weather; intensely thirsty for cold water; ear pain with swollen red ear; eyes red and inflamed; and throbbing headaches.

Good for inflammations, croupy sounding coughs, beginning stage of illnesses, fear, headaches, ear pain, and bladder infections.

Belladonna (Deadly Nightshade flower) - Dilated pupils, sparkling eyes; hot bright red face with very dry burning fever; eyes sensitive to light; anxious, delirious, talking fast; constant moaning; pain comes and goes quickly; aversion to drinking water; and difficulty swallowing liquids.

Water sensitivity worth taking a second look by other engineers Madam Editor; Having just been perusing the Water Sensitivity report of Urban Systems, dated the 1st March 2011, to the municipality fortifying the future developments expected to increase in Peachland, one has to remember this is an analysis only and subject to future developments of climate change, which is unpredictable.

I am amazed that the municipality has not requested the advice of two or three other engineering companies to run parallel inventories. We have no professional engineer or technician with experience to challenge the analysis put forward. I am not disputing the report, as Urban Systems’ professional engineers involved did as requested, but it is worth a second look by other professionals. In the real world other opinions are important in large projects.

Regarding the Monaco project and others, I assume that the developer will be paying the cost of extended water and sewer line extensions from the present end of line services, including pump houses, etc.

An expensive project that the taxpayer should not pay for, seeing we will have a divided town of Peachland.

As for the $55 million project, a further review should take place as the projected cost was at 2006 dollars and built over five-year periods to ease the pain that taxpayers are expected to endure. However, a required referendum should be held as the total cost is too much for some 5,000 taxpayers. The water charge, including the standing charge (used or not) after the installation of meters, was apparently increased as not enough water was used. Who underestimated the original cash requirements? Certainly no expert...I trust that septic tanks will be allowed for rain water storage instead of the demand to fill with sand to allow sewer connection. I spoke to Dave Smith about that over a year ago.

Taxpayers have to get involved to make sure we are getting affordable services and not held to ransom.

Good for tonsillitis, swellings, fevers, ear inflammation and sore throats.

Chamomilla (Chamomile flower) - Called the 'Catnip, or Opium, of Homeopathy' Angry, very emotional; bad temper, snappish; likes to be picked up and carried; doesn't know what they want; quarrelsome; pains are unendurable; thirsty; desires cold applications whilst teething; diarrhea during teething; swollen glands; and rattling cough.

Good for anger, teething, colic, ear pain, gastric problems and coughs.

Calcarea Carbonicum (Oyster shell) - likes to feel secure, be close to home, avoids change in habits; anxious and worried; exhaustion; sweating (sour smell) during sleep, especially on face and chest; craves eggs and eats indigestible things; and sluggish development in bones and teeth.

Good for eczema, Candida fungus infection, and canker sores.

Pulsatilla (Windflower) - tearful (whiny cry, not angry), clingy, have to have parent nearby; very sensitive and timid; can regress into babyhood, for older children; avoids confrontation; quickly changing symptoms and moods; laughing one minute, crying the next; gagging cough, sits up in bed for relief; like to have a window open, open air makes them feel better, and gets sick after too much fatty food.

Good for ear pain (blocked feeling), colds with thick bland/yellow discharge, insomnia, bladder infections, pink eye, and digestive complaints.

Use common sense when using homeopathy alternatives. If the remedy does not work quickly and if you are unsure of the problem, call your GP or 911 in case of an emergency.

Take precautions during tick season Submitted by Interior Health As the weather warms, people across Interior Health will be spending more time outdoors in tall grass or wooded areas and this means an increased chance of getting tick bites. Ticks are small bugs that bite and feed on the blood of humans and animals and sometimes these bites can transmit disease. Fortunately, there are precautions people can take to prevent illnesses that may be transmitted from tick bites.

One of the most important ways to protect yourself from tick illnesses is to do a skin check on yourself and your children after being outdoors. Other precautions include: •Walking on cleared trails when in long grass or wooded areas.

•Tucking pant legs into socks or boots.

•Applying insect repellent containing DEET on all uncovered skin.

•Carefully checking clothing and scalp (covered or not) when leaving an area where ticks may live.

•Regularly checking household pets for ticks.

To reduce ticks from entering your home and yard, try these steps: •Keep your lawn short and remove any leaf litter and weeds.

•Trim tree branches to allow more sunlight in your yard.

•Move woodpiles and bird feeders away from the house.

•Widen and maintain trails on your property.

If you do find a tick on yourself or your pet, wear gloves and be careful not to crush the tick because this could cause it to inject its stomach contents into your skin: •Use needle-nose tweezers to gently grasp the tick close to the skin.

•Without squeezing, pull the tick straight out.

•After removal, clean the area with soap and water.

•If you find one tick, check very carefully for others.

If you have concerns or need assistance removing a tick, please contact your family doctor or visit a walk-in medical clinic. For more information: Lesley Coates, Communications Officer; 250 870-4689.

Special “Oh What a Night” fundraising evening Article submitted by Peachland Stands UP! The community of Peachland is gathering together to support one of their neighbours, Cleo Murray, in her journey to wellness as she recovers from breast cancer.

Guests will laugh and dance the night away starting at 6:30 pm on May 14th with such great entertainers as comedian Herb Dixon, wellknown local duo Donovan Sweet, songstress Gillian Russell, and Kyle Anderson’s Amazing Rubber Band.

There will also be savory and sweet appies from the Happy Cow Café and a cash bar. Tickets are $30 each and available by calling 250-767-3457.

The recipient of this fundraiser, Cleo Murray was born in Penticton but later called Vancouver’s West End her home when she received the difficult news of her mother’s final prognosis after many years of multiple A special fundraising evening “Oh What a Night! is cancers. Cleo moved back to the being held on May 14th to help cover the cost of Okanagan to support her mom in the Cleo Murray’s recovery regime and naturopathic last year of her life. In July of 2005 treatments after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

Photo by Sierra Hook her mother passed away.

Several months later, Cleo was diagnosed with colon cancer. She opted for surgery, refused chemotherapy and radiation and instead treated herself with what some call alternative therapies including, working with a naturopath and a master herbalist, supplementing a strict organic raw vegan diet with high alkaline foods and beverages and eliminating all foods with gluten and sugar.

More and more people are choosing to integrate traditional cancer treatments with alternative methods like those Cleo used to better their odds of recovery.

She made it to the four-year mark cancer free, but in June of 2010 was diagnosed with breast cancer. She opted for a lumpectomy, again refusing chemo and radiation. Having done so well before with nutrition and diet, she is now working with a registered nutritionist who determines Cleo’s supplementation/ dietary needs using live blood cell analysis.

She is also working with a homeopath using thermography (instead of mammography) as an early detection tool, and is receiving TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) treatments including acupuncture and Chinese herbs to assist with healing and to increase energy. Regular lymphatic drainage massage is an important tool to help her body eliminate toxins. She is also working with the German New Medicine Paradigm, which approaches the emotional aspect of disease. All of this comes at a high price and expenses are beyond her means.

It was in the wake of this diagnosis and recovery journey that Peachland Stands UP! was formed. Area business women Wendy LaResser, Judy Berg, Loretta Robinson, and Darcy Nybo have organized a fundraiser called “Oh What a Night!” to support Cleo in her journey to returned health. Cleo is also taking a very active part in the organization of the event.

Peachland Stands UP! is a grassroots organization that was formed to assist community members who may need financial help due to health reasons, or perhaps displacement by fire or natural disaster. “Peachland Stands UP! is about community helping community, and this is just the beginning,” says organizer Wendy LaResser. “This is the first of many fundraisers we will be holding to help out our neighbours in need.”

The event has several sponsors including AM 1150 with guest MC Phil Johnson, The Westside Weekly, OK in Health, Always Write, The UPS Store – , Chatters and the Happy Cow Café. Graphic designer Arti Chauhan created their logo.

The event will be held at the Peachland Community Centre from 6:30 pm to midnight and aside from a great entertainment line up there will be thousands of dollars in silent auction items, live auction items, amazing swag bags and doors prizes.

13th Annual Lion’s Club Charity Golf Tournament More than 100 golfers came out for the 13th Annual Lion’s Club Charity Golf Tournament

By Eldon Kerbes The sun shone brightly in Summerland on May 1 as the Peachland and Summerland Lions hosted their 13 Annual Charity Golf Tournament at the Summerland Golf and Country Club. A total of 105 golfers registered in 26 teams for the best ball match following a shotgun start at 1pm. While the final fundraising figures had not been tallied at press time, the event was very successful as over $10,000 was netted for donations for the Easter Seal camp in Winfield. Final results should be available next week.

Judging from comments heard following the tournament everyone enjoyed themselves though some of us would have liked lower scores. The competition was stiff and several of the winning teams were tied and the ultimate winners were determined by coin tosses.

Trophy winners in the first flight were the team from Peachland of Rod Sawatsky, Jay Scanlan, Tony Chew and Brian Davies. Trophy winners in the second flight, also from Peachland, were the team of Harry Gough, John Coughlan, Bob Oliver and Scott McClean.

Runners up in the first flight was a team from Summerland (Carrot Top Diner) of Gary Long, Ken Zagrodney, Rick Valante and Bill Lyle. Runners up in the second flight from Kelowna (Tac Mobility) of Curtis Pannell, Heinz Ostreich, Stu Mennie, and Ed Helgason. Third in the second flight was a team from Westbank (Valley Glass) of Gordon and Sherry Schimpf and Don and Cathy Simmons. Fourth in the second flight was a team from Kelowna (Kelowna Motors) of Gregg Burgess, Gord Lammers, Matt August and Randy Katelnikoff.

The Lions Challenge Trophy was won by Penticton Lions Club with the team of Barry Lemay, Mark Verhaeghe, Ken Boerrcher and Kerry Baxter. Ladies long drive was won by Susan Wallis and the men’s was won by Matt August. The big winner however was Leif Bengtsson of Kelowna whose winning ticket was drawn for a free ticket for two anywhere in West Jet’s World.

Several golfers bettered Larry Guilbault on the golf challenge on hole #4 including this writer resulting in a donation of $265 to the cause. No one was able however to achieve a hole in on one on # 2 so the car sponsored by Kelowna Motors made its way back to the lot.

Following golf all golfers and guests enjoyed a dinner in the clubhouse prepared by the able chefs. The Master of Ceremonies was our well-known weatherman Mike Roberts of CHBC. Bidding at the silent auction table was very spirited and teams each shared golf packages donated by valley golf courses or gift bags made up of prizes donated by local business or individuals.

“A Leap of Faith?”`

Somebody famous

By Derek Koch, Peachland Campus Pastor, Emmanuel Church I was one of the parents that took his child to the Canucks Penticton training camp in September. My son Isaac and I watched the team practice and waited for a chance to grab an autograph from somebody famous.

Well, as it turns out, Alex Burrows was the one who walked out of the tunnel and was quickly mobbed by a number of fans of all ages. Isaac got his autograph and the mission was accomplished. That autograph went up in value after Burrows scored twice in Game 7 against Chicago. If we win the cup, who knows how much his signature might be worth! The only thing better than an autograph would be an autograph and a one-on-one meeting where I could ask any question I wanted.

The time period between Jesus’ resurrection and His ascension back to heaven would have been such a time for Jesus’ 11 disciples. (Down to 11 because Judas betrayed Jesus and then killed himself for his betrayal).

We’re talking 40 days. Can you imagine hanging out with a guy who had been beaten, mercilessly whipped, nailed in the wrists and feet to a wooden cross who then rises from the dead in bodily form? Doesn’t happen too often. Talk about meeting somebody famous!

Based on the numerous stories about Jesus’ death and resurrection, the disciples weren’t expecting a resurrection. Jesus had told them He would die and then rise again but no one really understood it. So when the stone rolled away and some women who knew Jesus well showed up at the tomb and found it empty, it was too good to be true. However, the story began to spread.

A couple of guys, who were walking on a road discussing the recent events in Jerusalem, were suddenly accompanied by Jesus, but they didn’t recognize him.

They were broken-hearted about Jesus’ death and confused about the story of the empty tomb. Jesus began to explain to them (without revealing who He was) why He had to die. Luke records that “Jesus explained to them what was said about himself in the Scriptures.

He began with Moses and all the Prophets.” They arrived at home, invited Jesus in, they ate supper together, all of a sudden recognized him, and then Jesus disappeared. The next visit was to the disciples.

An Apology to George Cain My article in the March 18th issue of The View included a photo of a rainbow touching the roof of the Peachland Wellness Centre. I did not acknowledge the photographer who took the photo.

He is George Cain.

Again, my apologies. -Bud Day

They had locked themselves into a room, scared they would be next on the crucifixion list because they were friends with Jesus. Then out of nowhere Jesus appeared. They were stunned (naturally). Luke wrote, “Then He opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, ‘This is what is written. The Christ will suffer. He will rise from the dead on the third day.”

Let’s not forget the 38 or so days after that when Jesus told them everything they needed to know to continue His mission while He went back to heaven.

What I would give to be a fly on the wall during those days.

If I could go back in time and hang out with anyone famous, it would be with Jesus and it would definitely include those 40 days. I think it would change my life…like it did those disciples. All of them went on to spread the message that we still

believe 2000+ years later.

Maybe in heaven, we can watch a video about what Jesus said and how He said it. In the meantime, we rely on the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to help us understand Him. The Holy Spirit teaches us, comforts us, and heals us. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit lives in those who know Jesus and so in a very human way, we see Jesus in those who call themselves His followers.

The Bible says that Jesus is coming back again one day and everyone will see Him. Now that will be something. Not sure how I’ll respond if I’m alive when it happens. I think I’ll do more than ask for an autograph. I’ll definitely want a one-on-one interview! And I can guarantee you that the event will be more exciting than the Canucks winning the Stanley Cup.

4445 6th St., Peachland

In support of longtime resident Don Houghaling and son-in-law Chris Frechette Three years ago Don was diagnosed with an extremely rare brain disorder which is now taking away his ability to use any part of his body that is governed by muscle. Then recently after many tests and a biopsy the family learned Chris has an inoperable malignant tumour in his brain and will need extensive radiation and chemotherapy in an attempt to shrink it.

We can all only imagine the horribly difficult time they are having and will be having, financially, so I thought this sale would be one way to help make their journey a little less of a hardship; said Linda Longbotham, whose niece is married to Chris. Linda hopes to raise funds to help both families, and therefore is accepting donations of garage sale items for the sale this weekend.

Meets Monday at 7pm (closed meeting) and Friday at 8pm (open meeting).
