A COLD CLEANUP, but that didn’t deter these ladies from chipping in over the weekend. April is Community Clean Up Month, and Sofia Laceanu (left), Jen Clute, Ashley Dias and Audrey Anderson were obviously thrilled to take part. Maybe it was because Summit Yoga BC offered a free yoga class afterwards at Harbour House, the new studio in town. Thanks to View reader (and new resident!) Colleen Milsom for this awesome shot! Check out what else was found over the weekend on Pg. 5.

WILL YOU WIN? The Peachland Quilters and Needleworkers group is looking forward to finding out who! They just finished this queen size star sampler and earlier this week, they donated it to the Peachland Fall Fair Committee. Martha Jenkins, second from the left, is the president of the committee, and gladly accepted the gift, which will be raffled off during the fair. It’s the 100th year for our town’s fall fair, and organizers are busy planning for the big event, Sept. 7 and 8 at the Peachland Community Centre.

We have 135 roads named after Peachlanders

& society wants signs

honouring them all KRISTEN FRIESEN EDITOR

Councillors were updated earlier this week on the happenings of the Peachland Historical Society, who are working on a couple of long-term projects.

The biggest one, says the society’s Don Wigfield, is the street signage project. Many Peachlanders live on named streets, and there’s a story behind every one. Slowly but surely, volunteers with the society are putting up plaques explaining the person behind the street name.”

“There are about 135 named roads in Peachland and currently we have done seven plaques, and do about three every year, so this is a project that should keep us happy for, let’s say eternity, or thereabouts,” he told councillors with a smile.

He says thanks to a district policy adopted when councillor Keith Fielding was mayor, the project will continue for many years.

“This is not a policy that can be instantly achieved; it is the result of a long-term practice that has been consistent from one council to the next and indeed makes us the envy of many other communities in the Okanagan who have wasted their opportunity to retain heritage in this way by naming roads in other, often trivial ways that cannot be changed.”

The society’s current focus is on the 14 roads named by J.M. Robinson, Peachland’s founder.

They’re working off a 1902 map that bears his signature.

Councillors also heard another Peachland tradition will continue this year. Every graduating student from Peachland Elementary will receive The Story of Peachland, which outlines our town’s history right up to 2017.

HISTORY LIVES HERE: The Peachland Museum is home to the historical society, and many stories about our town’s past. The group thanked council earlier this week for continuing with a signage policy that has developers choosing from approved historical names for their streets. Existing named streets will eventually have a plaque or sign explaining that person’s contribution to Peachland.

EDITOR

• It was a busy year for the Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Change. Rick Ingram, who sits on the task force, told councillors earlier this week that continued work on a resource / information display at the library, a new electric vehicle charging station, and their Green Citizen award, are some of the highlights of the past year. Some of the group’s goals for 2019 include looking at ways for the district to achieve carbon neutrality and water reduction goals, while encouraging Peachlanders and those in other areas to mitigate and adapt to climate change.

• The Peachland Healthy Watersheds Committee held its first meeting last summer. Looking ahead to this year, the group hopes to host a variety of experts on watershed issues, while receiving and responding to council’s priorities. They’re holding a strategic planning session this spring, and they also are collecting data on the cumulative impact of different activities on the watershed.

• The Peachland Economic Development Committee also sent their annual report for councillors’ information.

They spent 2018 working on a number

of things, from the revitalization tax exemption program and their strategic plan, which was amended to accommodate the district’s upcoming parks and recreation master plan. Their goals for 2019 includes continued work on attracting doctors to Peachland and working with the government to make that process easier and more streamlined. They also need to further review their strategic plan, as some members are new since the October 2018 election.

email editor@peachlandview.com Views These kids need us to be more water wise

Peachland

KRISTEN FRIESEN EDITOR

Water, water everywhere, and right now, some of it is not nice — and even unsafe to drink.

If you’re up Trepanier, you know what I mean. In the past week or so, our water has taken on its traditional spring colour – shades of murkiness that bans us from baths and prompts many of us into buying our drinking water (something our family does year-round).

Right before I put this page to press, an alert came from the District of Peachland. We’re now under a water quality advisory, which is issued when turbidity of our source water goes above 1 NTU. And with our water treatment plant a good two years away from completion, it’s just something we have to deal with.

But what about the big picture? We’ve heard a lot lately about water quality, conservation, and the health of our watershed. March 22 was World Water Day, and on April 4, Peachland was host to a conference featuring guest speakers and watershed experts. It’s a big issue, and one that students at Peachland Elementary tackled head-on during their recent spring break.

“My grandma helped design the project, so we could look at how much water we actually use,” says Rosalee Bieksa. The grade 5 student, and several others encouraged fellow students to monitor their water use as part of their Water is Life Challenge.

“The first week, we recorded how much water we used, and then we looked at the total and tried to save more water the second week.

I have a really big family, so the first week, we used 7,000 litres of water. But the second week, we used only 4,000 litres. I didn’t take as many baths – and I also stayed at camp, so that helped too.”

Fellow grade fiver Zoey Firth says leaving the tap off while brushing her teeth, and being careful not to leave water running too long when washing her hands, are two important tips.

“I realized how much water we actually use – even to make things like juice with the powder. You can just buy juice, without wasting water.”

Both girls say there’s a lot more adults can do to not only save water, but to advocate for its protection.

“If us kids can get into the habit of saving water, it’s easy for adults to do, too. And if we all do it, it’s better for our community,” Rosalee says.

“Water supports life itself. There’s no life without water, and this challenge made me realize that.”

It’s really encouraging to see these young Peachlanders recognize an issue that will, undoubtably, be of increasing importance as they grow into adults, says Lee Humphries. She’s the youth coordinator for the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance (PWPA), a group of volunteers, many of whom have backgrounds in water and forestry management, among other areas.

“These kids are the future leaders of Peachland,” she says.

“I believe our experiences as children shape our behaviours as adults. And if we want to impact children to make a difference, we need to guide them to experiences that ignite passion in them, leave room for their voice, and encourage and applaud their leadership.”

Humphries says she was inspired not only by the kids’ dedication in plotting their water use (one child used only 70 litres of water a day, an achievement considering the average Canadian uses 329 litres a day), but also in the artwork they created. Using the theme “Water is Life”, posters, songs and poems were performed and displayed last week at the school.

It’s all very impressive, says Peachland Mayor Cindy Fortin.

“Their awareness of the value of water as young people, and how to conserve and protect it, will become the norm in their lives as they grow into adulthood,” she says.

“I strongly believe it is the younger generation that is going to make a difference, and this is a great start.”

Building on this awareness and action is extremely important, says Joe Klein, the cofounder of the PWPA. “We are so far, among the lucky ones to have the water we have, but our quality has been falling steadily and we want to preserve what we have. People have to get more involved. Talk to your representatives, talk to councillors. We have lots of scientific data that indicate we could be in for a rough ride in the next few years.”

WATER WISE KIDS: Through their water use challenge, their artwork and even a musical performance last week, these Grade 5 students at Peachland Elementary showed their school – and hopefully their parents, the value of our most important resource.

THANKS, CLEANUP CREW!: Dozens of volunteers spent a gray and windy Saturday cleaning up a massive amount of trash -

of all kinds – in Peachland’s backcountry and Beach Ave areas. RDCO waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart said more than 10 tonnes of metal and four tonnes of garbage were collected from the Princeton Ave corridor, and along the back roads of Spring Lake, the Bedford Trails and beyond. “Volunteers helped yank everything from garbage to unsightly car bodies, appliances, tires, a hot tub, an old boat hull, and additional debris out of the bush,” she said. The Peachland Sportsmen’s Association, the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance, the Okanagan Forestry Task Force and the Zip Zone all gave their time, in addition to ABC Recycling and For Less Disposal, who ultimately took out the trash. And just like the girls on the cover of this week’s View, you can form your own group and take part in Community Clean Up Month. To get free litter bags and gloves for your cleanup, call the RDCO at (250) 469-6250, or email recycle@cord.bc.ca. They’ll even arrange to pick up the garbage you’ve collected when you’re done.

Brown Gordon Arnold Nov 21, 1926 - Mar 29, 2019 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of GORDON ARNOLD BROWN, at the Central Okanagan Hospice House on Friday, March 29, 2019, following a short illness. Gordon was in his 93rd year. Gordon was a long time Peachland resident before moving to The Heritage in Westbank.

He was predeceased by Elsie, his loving wife of 66 years; his parents Vernard and Della; sister Ida and brother Norman. Gordon will be deeply missed by his two daughters, Linda Caldwell (Ron) and Barbara Keetley (Philip), Grandchildren Karen, Jesse (Melissa), Michelle (Steve) and Great Grandchildren Matthew, Jenna (Cole), Amy and Adrien and Great Great-Granddaughter, Emma.

Gordon is also survived by his sisters Doris, Alta, Marion, Carolyn, Corrine and his brother Ronald, as well as Sisters -in-Law Joan and Mary and many nieces and nephews.

Gordon had a love of fishing, hunting and archery, and was a member of the Peachland Archery Club and The Sportsmens’ Association. He spent many hours exploring the Peachland backcountry, a place of joy for him.

Special thanks to Gordon’s nephew, Morley (Sue), who spent many hours with Dad during his residence at The Heritage in Westbank.

Thanks also to the amazing staff at The Heritage and also at The Central Okanagan Hospice House, for their loving care and support during Dad’s illness.

No Service at his Request.

WASHER AND DRYER?: You wouldn’t believe what people throw out in the forest, say volunteers who pitched in on Saturday.

Here, 84 year-old Norman May helped fish out the appliances, which were dumped down an embankment.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Stormy Saturday

Enough bypass talk

Dear Editor, Thanks to 37 volunteers for helping making the Rubber Ducky Race on April 6 a success!

If it had not been for the storm with extreme gusts hitting the race tent at 12:40, we would have said “that was the best RDR ever!”

The race tent crumbled in minutes, with kiddie ducks staying homeless as the return had to be discontinued. However, these kiddie ducks are waiting at the Visitor Centre to be picked up by their rightful owners. We will care, comfort and feed them for a couple of weeks before we look into adoption.

All tickets had been sold four days before the event and the funds we wanted to raise are saved for the bats.

The last 25 kiddie ducks were sold in five minutes starting at 10 o’clock and that left still a number of kids disappointed.

Due to logistics we need to restrict these kiddie duck races to six (150 kiddie ducks) as the fishermen crew needs to get out of the cold creek water.

Darlene and I believe this event promoted our bat society even further and youngsters will join us in becoming stewards for this species.

-Doris Muhs, Peachland

Dear Editor, My wife and I moved to Peachland in 2011 after retiring from the lower mainland. As new homeowners, we looked forward to the Peachland View in order to discover what was happening in our new community.

Unfortunately, under the previous editor it soon deteriorated into a political rag, aiding and abetting the viewpoints of a relative few.

It quickly became bird cage liner. Thankfully, under yourself, it has once again become a refreshing publication.

However, it seems that with the recent Highway 97 landslide north of Summerland, the “Bypass issue” as you labelled it, is beginning to needlessly occupy newspaper space. Over the years I have corresponded with MOTI regarding the issue.

We had open houses on the issue in 2016, and all public submissions on the issue closed December 23, 2016. The Peachland97 Transportation Study presented two options out of 10 proposed and studied, (one bypass / one existing corridor) to the province in 2017, and the government was to make their decision early 2018? It seems under Christy Clark, legacy creating mega projects were on the forefront of her agenda, but with this current government, not so much. The issue seems to be on the government back burner. The public debate was concluded long ago, and all the various viewpoints on the issue were submitted. We are now awaiting a provincial decision on the matter.

Why not share water research?

Dear Editor, What a great Thursday night presentation at the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance meeting.

Guest speakers were educated and there were informative experts on our watershed, our wildlife and our environment.

Coming away from that meeting after hearing that water is only rated number 10 on our council’s priority list shocked me. Thank you Mr. Condon for speaking on behalf of the newly formed committee on healthy water, but it begged a question to me of, why didn’t council simply go to the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance in the first place, instead of forming a new group to research what has already been done over the last several years? This newly formed healthy water committee has to research

what the alliance already knows. Do taxpayers want to wait another three or four years to hear what is already known about our watershed and wait until the watershed is completely devastated? To think that this new committee would not come to the alliance to ask them about all their research and knowledge leaves me speechless.

I urge council to work with the alliance on the most important matter in this community: clean water. The alliance has already identified the problems and what we must do to protect our water and our environment. Please stand up for our water and our environment and protect what we have left. As Dr. David Suzuki said, no one can live long without clean water.

-Virginia Schmidt, Peachland

Maybe we’re not sheep after all Dear Editor, It was lovely and refreshing to read the letter from Audrey Bentley McEwen this past week. (Trudeau / Liberal loyalty baffles this Peachlander, April 5) I was staring to think that mainstream media had mind-controlled all of you! But Audrey renews my faith this the power of people’s perception. I echo your sentiments of everything you said, Audrey. I’ll

add that as the new media take over, the old mainstream media will have a diminished capacity to push their political dogma and to elect fools like the one we currently suffer. We must all remember – mainstream media will never tell you the truth. They have an agenda to push, and their platform is the vehicle.

-Nick Walsh, Peachland

Kudos to KGH for taking care of mom Dear Editor, Our family wants to express our sincere thanks to the doctors and very dedicated staff at the Kelowna General Hospital for the tremendous work they have done for our 98 year old mother. She had a stroke a month ago and only because of quick action by the ambulance crew and the ER Neurologist on duty was she able to enter into a recovery program. The doctors and nurses in Emergency gave extraordinary attention and care for the critical two days they attended to her. For a few days she was transferred to the ICU floor, where the same doctors and nurses gave careful attention to her changing condition. Next she was transferred to the 6th floor, where thanks to the staff

there, her recovery was clearly possible, with daily improvements in speech and mobility.

The next steps have been three weeks on the rehabilitation ward where another new group of dedicated and caring nurses, nursing assistants of all sorts and various physiotherapists took over and gave what we believe to be exceptional care and guidance to assist her recovery. Within a month she went from the edge of death to being released back into her apartment, with Interior Health assisted living, returning to largely independent living again being possible in the future.

Once again, Thank you to everyone involved at KGH; a job well done!

Rubber Ducky organizers blown away by race success A sold-out race made for some fierce competition last weekend, during Peachland’s annual Rubber Ducky Race. Cold weather and high winds didn’t discourage volunteers and eager participants. So, which ducks were the big winners? The $500 grand prize went to Cori Jecks, $300 to Nick Berry and $100 to Coral Sparks. Tasha Prasad won a $150 photo session, Gillian Godden won a $120 kayak tour, while Bruce Klippenstein’s duck won him a $75 gift card to Beach Ave. Café. Oscar Haupt and Bob Hewer were lucky to each win a $50 gift certificate at Lakeside Auto, and Lakeside Massage gave away a gift certificate to Roxanne Dunkin. Allen Griffith has a $50 gift from Gasthaus restaurant, while Cindy Moss will be spending $40 at the Blind Angler. Jill Thompson was the winner of a Bliss coffee card and Tshirt.

Use PULSE for ultra clean

It’s a dreaded springtime task, and often, it’s one we don’t do very well. Good thing a locally-owned, mobile expert is around, ensuring your home has the best view, just in time for the warmer weather.

Pulse Mobile Ultrasonic is the only professional cleaning company in the valley that uses ultra-sonic technology to safely and effectively clean your blinds – and they come right to your door, making them brand-new again, while eliminating harmful allergens, saving you the time and hassle of doing the job yourself. Did you know the dust that collects on your blinds carries more allergens than any other common surface? That’s because the air circulating between your blinds and windows is constantly being heated and cooled by sun exposure and indoor heating systems, without a lot of room to escape.

Whether you have commercial or residential property, it can definitely benefit from the deep clean that comes with ultrasonic technology. High-frequency sound waves produce superfine, high-temperature, high-pressure bubbles that dislodge contaminants and penetrate those hard-to-reach surfaces – the most effective way to clean almost everything.

Take the stress away and have Pulse Mobile Ultrasonics come right to your front door. It’s fast and effective, and best of all, your home will be ultra-clean.

0 5 Happy Anniversary

exhibit, What is That? The pieces blur the lines between mediums, with fine art photographer Lynn Stevens (second from right) working amongst three other artists who work in a more abstract realm.

A string ensemble concert was also held that afternoon, featuring members of the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra and students from Kelowna Community Music School.

This week’s Sudoku Solutions in next week’s paper!

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!

Spring-themed potluck at 50+ will have plenty of prizes

SOME SPRING SINGING took place last weekend at the 50+ Centre, where the Peachland Variety Singers celebrated 45 years of singing, musical instrument playing and entertainment.

PHOTO COURTESY PEACHLAND 50+ ACTIVITY CENTRE

Peachlanders love to stay active, and what better way, than to be involved with one or a number of our groups or functions that are available at the 50+ Activity Centre.

On April 7th our community was fortunate to hear the tunes of the Peachland Variety Singers in their “Sing out…. 45 years of Singing!” concert. It was an afternoon enjoyed by a full room of attendees, who came to hear the group sing under the direction of Phyllis Papineau and with accompaniment of Margaret Martin on Keyboards. Treasures were also performed by comedian Derek Coulthard, Accordian Greg Corbett (who had all the guests singing along), The Ukulele group with Vera Taylor, Esther Jones, Lucille Lambert, Marilyn Bishop and Angela Kanik, followed by a comical rendition of “I don’t look good naked anymore” sung by Syd Kendrick.

Thank you all for a wonderful afternoon and the delicious goodies provided afterwards.

Our Monthly Potlucks and entertainment are also a great favourite. Last month we enjoyed some good food, and there were more than a few happy feet dancing to the music of the local band, 3’s Company.

Our potluck this month will be held on Friday, April 26th at 6pm and will be followed with entertainment by local singer/songwriter Niki Martinus.

Please help us “spring” into spring by coming in a favourite spring themed outfit, hat, gardening overalls, etc. There will be prizes for best and most unique spring themed item. There will be lots of fun to be had by all, and we hope you will enjoy the new set up. All ages are welcome!

We hope you can join us on our annual bus trip.

This year it is set for Friday, June 14th. We will be heading to The R.J. Haney Heritage Village and Museum in Salmon Arm. Details to follow, please see the following website for more information: https://www.salmonarmmuseum.org/default.htm And, don’t forget to attend some of our many activities throughout the month, such as Bingo, Line Dancing, Clogging, Painting, Lawn Bowling, Mahjong, and a variety of fitness classes to name a few, to keep you young and vibrant. Schedules are available at the centre. Please check with activity leaders for any changes in classes during the Easter Holidays. Hope to see you soon!
