ALL AGES INVOLVED: Kids, parents, grandparents and everyone in between took part in Peachland’s Polar Bear run and swim on New Years Day.

It’s symbolic, it’s tradition, and it was much chillier for some than others. Peachland’s annual Polar Bear swim and run / walk was an ice-cold success, say organizers and those who took part in the New Year’s Day tradition. “It’s a tried and true Peachland event,” said Mayor Cindy Fortin, as she stood in line with 88 others who took the afternoon plunge into Okanagan Lake. “Plus, there’s the symbolism of it – we’re saying goodbye to last year and hello to the new year. Also, it’s a little bit crazy and gutsy.” While the mayor chose a sparkly dress, a boa and a specialized Chain of Office (it floats, Fortin explains), others chose to go in less formal costume. Superman made an appearance, as did a pirate, a Viking, a grown man in a negligee, and others who prefer bathing suits for such occasions. One of those people was Elliot Smith. He’s visiting from England, and decided to go for it. “It’s cold,” he said after running out. “Very cold. I’m not doing that again.” He was however, one of the more dedicated dippers, actually swimming the length of Swim Bay’s dock and back again. Ben Stringer, Peachland’s recreation program coordinator says both the run and the dip have become a New Year’s habit for many. “The Polar Bear run and swim are popular for people who want to start the New Year with fun and fitness – it sets the tone for the year to come,” he says. A total of 61 people were entered for the run and walk. Brock Hoel was the fastest in the 5km race, with a time of 14 minutes, 52 seconds. Ryan O’Farrell completed the 2km distance in a quick 11 minutes, 37 seconds. Other polar swims were held on New Year’s Day in Kelowna and at Sun Oka Beach, where the Summerland Kinsmen hosted its 34th annual event. A few hundred people showed up to each event.

In a few years, if you call for an Olivia or a Liam, how many little heads will turn your way?

For girls, Emma comes after Olivia, then Amelia, Charlotte, Chloe, Ava, Sophia, Isla, Emily and Hannah. Isla is new to the list this year. After Liam, the top choices for boys born in B.C. in 2018, in order, are Lucas, Oliver, Benjamin, Ethan, Noah, Logan, William, James and Leo. A new addition to the top 10 in 2018 is Leo. In 2017, Benjamin was the number one boys’ name in B.C., followed by Liam, Logan, Lucas, a tie for fifth between Ethan and James, then Oliver, Noah, William and Owen. Olivia was the number one girls’ name in 2017, followed by Emma, Sophia, a tie between Ava and Charlotte, then Emily, Chloe, Hannah, Amelia and Abigail.

They were dressed in a variety of robes and Santa hats and crowns. To my left was some guy in a pirate costume and on my right, Superman was giving me some last-minute advice. I couldn’t help notice lingerie was a popular choice – on all sexes. Not everyone was dressed for a day at the beach, but yet that’s where we all were. Eighty-nine people, now facing the water (which was 5C, according to my measurement). Air temperature was hovering around the 2C mark. It was cold, and it was about to get a lot colder. The Peachland Polar Dip, and the road race that runs before it, is growing every year according to organizers. And whether it’s because of the New Year-related symbolism or because I really had nothing else to write about after a week and a half off work, I told myself and a few friends that I was going in the lake. And because I was now faced with actually following through on my words, I figured it was best I convince someone to go with. My husband Rob quickly volunteered to look after children and document (smart man), and my girlfriends’ involvement was offered in moral support and more documenting (smart friends). Enter my pirate-costumed friend, Rob. Because we’ve never done anything like this before, I immediately set about asking others a very important question: Why? “Because we’re nuts,” said Cary Derksen. His Viking hat was just a clue as to his polar dip status. This is the seventh year he’s done a New Year’s freeze, but since moving here from Vancouver, it’s the first time in Peachland. “We also met seven years ago,” added his polar partner, Marie, explaining it’s now their New Years’ tradition. “This isn’t the coldest one we’ve done – one year they had to break the ice before we went in.”
So it could be worse. Maybe Superman had something reassuring to say. “You just run in as hard as you can, and then you get out as fast as you can,” he wisely says. This is the fourth time caped crusader Randy Lindeboom has polar dipped with his wife, Miyuki, and her sister, Yumi Piper. Miyuki seems to have a special spot for these events – one year she did this one, hit the Kelowna event, then drove all the way to Kalamalka Lake for a third go. Afterwards they warm up with some hot pho. Mmm that sounds really good right now. Ok. It’s time. We’re counting down to ten and in the video my friend shot, I can hear my nervous clapping as it gets down to zero. It goes fast, but man, the water is…. so cold. My adjectives have left me. I didn’t get my head wet, but I definitely went in for long enough. There was a towel and blanket waiting and Pirate Rob and I shivered and compared notes. We survived, although
Rob’s sword, which he so valiantly raised as he ran in, did not. “Do you have any parting words?” I ask. “How many adjectives do you want,” is my answer. Hmm, I wonder if we’ll do this again next year. So. It’s the coldest I’ve been in awhile, it was way out of my comfort zone, but it was done anyway and it was actually a lot of fun. Then there was a supportive (and I think, very wise and warm) crowd of friends and family members watching the dippers, the mayor went in (with her waterproof, floating Chain of Office), and the people who were now standing around soaking wet were all smiling and laughing. It was invigorating, positive, and fun (which I can say now that I’ve warmed up – but just a little). It captured a lot of what we all want in 2019: Good friends, good people in the community, fun things to do, and the lake. Even when it’s really, really….cold.
HERE WE GO! There’s a few schools of thought on how to enter a cold lake. While some stayed for a swim, I preferred the ‘dip and shriek” method. That’s me, sensibly dressed in the pink long sleeves.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A few things for council to do:
Dear Editor, Twenty-five hundred tax payers have been advised that the municipality has committed millions of dollars to a project that will saddle the taxpayer with costly loans that could put the town in debt for years to come, adding to the already outstanding sewer debt. I have lived in Peachland for over 30 years. A few years ago under the supervision of (former director of operations) Doug Allin I visited the water table. One had to admit it was not the best. Allin had plans which never came to fruition. He was going to apply to government for additional water licences. Again, never happened. As for our water condition at the spring run-off, it is murky. A carbon filter placed in your home’s cold water supply is sufficient. Certainly far less costly than a multi-million dollar fiasco, that adds to the outstanding cost to taxpayers for the sewer system loan and water distribution updates that are inevitable in the future. Looking ahead, the existing water system is old and will need flushing and replaced gradually. Obviously that thought was side-lined. The sewer system will have to be upgraded eventually. The solution is simple: The municipality will have to cut corners. Tax secondary suites that years ago was considered as we needed more tax money. Another thought is parking meters the whole length of Beach Avenue. One dollar per hour. Revenue for sure. Michael Read, Peachland
Thanks to Peachland Wellness Centre
Dear Editor, We have a huge cheer for the Peachland Wellness Centre Christmas Dinner. Very classy, Santa in attendance and wonderful music, not to even mention how yummy the food was. The turkey dinner was so delicious and well presented. Many volunteers and we appreciated every wonderful moment at the 50+ Centre. Thank you so much for a wonderful and special Christmas afternoon.

Parks Canada has released a map showing the working boundary it plans to work with for the proposed national park reserve in the South Okanagan-Similkameen region. The area expands from the U.S. borer and expands to just north of Fairview Road. It also includes the area between Highway 3 and Highway 97. Madden Lake and Burnell lake recreation sites in the Willowbrook area west of Oliver are not included within the boundaries. The map was released last week with the along with Parks Canada’s launch of an online public consultation period for the park reserve. Along with completing a survey, the public is able to pin locations on the map showing what activities they like to do within the boundaries. Options range from sightseeing, camping and hiking to off road vehicle use, hunting and hang-gliding. In a media call, Kevin McNamee, director of protected areas establishment for Parks Canada, said ranchers will be permitted to continue cattle grazing within the area. Private meetings are planned with affected ranchers. “The exact nature of how we would move forward to work with ranch community in respect to legislation is to be worked out,” he said. As for a referendum, McNamee said the public consultation process isn’t intended to act as one. “The consultation process is not a referendum or a vote on the idea of a national park reserve but rather what is more important, we believe, is for people to participate in this process to help shape what the national park reserve will look like in its boundary and use of lands,” he said. However, Parks Canada is still inviting people to indicate if they’re in support or not of the a national park reserve “We encourage any and all respectful comments,” McNamee said. “But what’s extremely helpful is indicating why it’s a yes or no. If we understand those concerns, we’re in a better position to shape the proposal.” The map and survey can be viewed online at letstalksouthokanagansimilkameen.ca. Public input will be gathered until Feb. 28.

It’s open! Mother Nature finally allows for skating KRISTEN FRIESEN EDITOR
Finally! Colder temps and some hard work from dedicated volunteers means Peachland’s brand-new skating rink up at the riding club is now open. Fire Chief Dennis Craig said the fire brigade, and other volunteers pulled some long hours over New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, shovelling, flooding, and repeating the process to get the surface skateable. Note - the singular, he says - the tot rink isn’t ready, as the ground isn’t quite frozen underneath, but it’s all skaters go for the main rink. “The main rink is still a little rough, but definitely skateable. The volunteers worked really hard to get it open for everyone - there’s still room for improvement to get the ice really smooth, though.” It was indeed a New Year’s project - volunteers flooded the rinks every three hours on the 31st and worked well into the night. “It’s really important that if we get any amount of snow, that it gets completely cleared off because if the rink only gets partially shovelled and piles or ridges of snow are left on the surface it damages the ice underneath.” Weather permitting, the plan is to flood around 9 p.m. nightly. “So, we would appreciate it if people keep that in mind when planning to go out skating - we apologize if that causes an inconvenience, but we want to make sure the ice can set up and freeze properly,” Craig says. Peachland Director of Community Services Cheryl Wiebe reminds everyone that open fires aren’t allowed at the riding club - which is at 5380 Princeton Ave. Propane fire pits are permitted, though. “The volunteers are the key to the ice rink, so a big shout out to them,” she says. The district renewed a five-year lease with the riding club back in February, allowing the rink to operate at this new location, as the Turner location is now privately owned and no longer operating as a community park.
Happy skating, everyone!
LOCAL SERVICES directory
WAY TO GO! Volunteers worked around the clock over New Year’s to get the ice in skating shape. Flooding was happening every three hours, to take advantage of relatively clear skies and cooler temps. The forecast is calling for snow / rainshowers trhough this weekend, with the mercury hovering around the zero mark into next week.

At the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club in Peachland we are busy planning fun new programs for children and youth along with continuing our preschool, after school, and recreation programs and community partnerships. The new year is also a great time to reflect on the accomplishments of the previous year. At the Peachland Club, 2018 was full of fun adventures, new experiences, and strengthened relationships. Each of our programs visited local businesses and attractions including tours of IGA, visits to the Peachland Library, activities with the Peachland Wellness Centre, and many hours swimming at Swim Bay. We also took part in several community events including Canada Day, Movie Night in the Park, Halloween Spooktacular, and Light Up, just to name a few. In 2018 we also celebrated 5 years of offering programs in our great Club facility! We are excited to be offering a new program this winter, Wonderful Winter Sports, thanks in part to funding from Canadian Tire Jumpstart.

Peachland Community Arts Council preps for first show of the year, classes and more So, we had a green Xmas after all, though in some areas we may have had a dusting of snow. I’m sure that did nothing to inhibit your Christmas spirit and for those who received new ski equipment there was plenty of white stuff in the hills to try it out. Nonetheless, some of us old killjoys who’ve reluctantly had to give away our skis have been rejoicing! Not for long, though – true. Seems winter’s here at last – damn!!! These coming two weeks, Gallery coordinator, Janet Hornseth, will be busy preparing the Peachland Art Gallery for the first exhibition of 2019 – the Kato Rempel Solo Show – Evolution of an Artist – and it is truly an exciting one to open the New Year. For over a decade, Kelowna artist, Karen Rempel has travelled several countries – among them Sri Lanka, India, and Nepal – honing her artistic skills, constantly exploring different media techniques. You’re invited to join us at the Opening Gala on Saturday, January 12 from noon to 3 pm. The show will run winter hours Tuesdays to Saturdays from 9 am to 4 pm and Sundays from 10 am to 4 pm from January 12 to February 10. Unfortunately, my return flight that very day will miss the event. You are also welcome to visit Rempel’s studio online at www.katodesign.ca. A partial schedule for the Winter/Spring Adult
ARTIST KATO REMPEL of Kelowna will have her work showcased in Peachland. The opening gala is Jan. 12 at the art gallery.
Workshops at the Peachland 1898 Little Schoolhouse is now available on our website. To start the Winter session, Roberta Farrelly is offering a Beginners’ Acrylic Series on Mondays beginning Monday, January 7, from 12:30 to 3:30 pm. This is a six week series for beginners who want to improve their skills. The cost is $60. You can register with Sharon McPhee at themcphees@telus.net or call 250-767-6556.

free for members of the Summerland Community Arts Council. Non-members need purchase membership for $20. The deadline for submission is January 18. Delivery date for hanging work is Monday, February 4 and Tuesday, February 5 for all other work. The Shatford Centre in Penticton has a call out to artists for their Art For Peace Exhibition from January 16 to February 27. Artists are asked to reflect on the concept of Peace and what that may mean to themselves as an individual, as a member of their community, or as a global citizen. They are invited to share their visions in any of the following categories: painting (any media), drawing, photography, graphics, and mixed media. The intention is to use the power of art to inspire dialogue about peace, to generate ideas and to stimulate action. The deadline for delivery of a maximum of two pieces of work is Friday, January 11 together with a $15 fee. The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra will perform its third Masterworks Concert The Chase Wines Masterworks III – Amadeus at the Kelowna Community Theatre in Kelowna on Friday, January 25 with a free open dress rehearsal (donations optional) from 2 to 4:30 pm. The concert will feature three of Mozart’s works written for clarinet, an instrument brand new for his day – his final serenade, symphony and concertos performed by the orchestra’s Principal Clarinetist, Erin Fung – a concert not to be missed! A repeat of the concert will be held in Penticton on Saturday, January 26 at 7:30 pm and in Vernon on Sunday, January 27 at 7 pm. Apart from opera perhaps, musicals are not usually equated with matters serious but more often with the light-hearted. This is not the case with Kelowna Actors Studio’s present offering, Next to Normal, which explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness. The musical, which was the winner of three 2009 Tony Awards including Best Musical Score and 2010 Pulitzer Prize, opens on Wednesday, January 9 at 7:30 pm at their Ellis Street theatre and runs Wednesday to Sunday evenings with matinees at 1 pm on Saturdays and Sundays until January 20. Although the Kelowna Film Society’s 2019 Winter Brochure is not yet out, their list of winter films is, and the first film starting at the Orchard Plaza Cinema a week Wednesday, January 9 at 4 and 7 pm, is Sir. Sir, an East Indian/ French collaboration with English sub-titles, is set in Mumbai. The plot involves a wealthy man, Ashwin, who is a bit of a lost soul despite his wealth. Nonetheless, his household is kept in order by his live-in servant woman Ratna who has little else but her tasks as a servant and a sense of hope towards achieving her dream. Living in the present as opposed to a colonial past where a strong caste system was the order, social change is constantly at odds in their interactions and presents a barrier in their achieving a relationship. The following week’s film is Japanese with English sub-titles. Winner of the 2018 Palme d’Or at Cannes and nominated for the 2019 Best Foreign Language academy award, Shoplifters on Wednesday, January 16, like Sir has a lot to do with cultural tradition. Japanese culture highly emphasizes family honour, material success, self sufficiency and following traditional norms. Too low an income in a part of Tokyo, however, forces one close-knit family into shoplifting in order to make ends meet and to live up to those accepted cultural standards. To add to the conflict, their rescuing an abandoned, destitute child puts their family further at risk of discovery and social shame. As we say goodbye to the old guy and welcome in a young one, I’d like to raise a glass to you and yours and wish you a year full of rich rewards, new creative ideas, and above all good health and happiness! -Chris Byrd, Peachland Community Arts Council

GUEST COLUMN
GOOD MORNING VIEW: The sun was glistening off the lake just so early one morning along Beach Ave. last week.
Watershed group looks forward to another productive year The Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance, a group of passionate and informed volunteers, accomplished many goals this year. Some of the group’s 2018 highlights include: • Successful application for a grant that provided for an ongoing wetlands assessment in Peachland’s watershed, with work conducted by volunteers and led by a geoscientist; • Trees and shrubs planted to restore riparian areas along damaged Peachland Creek; • Met with government silviculturists and arborists to plan future reforestation projects; • Hosted eight community field days, to inform citizens about watershed issues; • Met with the forestry companies active in Peachland’s watershed to establish a more productive and informed working relationship, with considerable progress including offers to help with reforestation; • Attended Forestry Enhancement Society meetings, to generate ideas and plans to help mitigate wild fire risk in the watershed; • Invited to participate in a multi-day round table discussion in Vancouver with BC’s Minister of the Environment and Climate Change regarding concerns about current forestry practices; • Filed a recreation area use of loss complaint to the BC Forest Practices Board, on behalf of the former recreation trails around Wilson Lakes; • Joined the new Okanagan Sustainability Leadership Council, working together with area governments, businesses and organizations to create a sustainable lifestyle in the Okanagan; • Co-founded the BC Coalition for Forestry Reform, with a mandate to amend the existing forest practices code in BC; • Liaised with Okanagan Nations Alliance and Ministry of the Environment biologists to preserve mule deer habitat; • Formed the Spring Lakes Trails preservation committee; • Provided info to the Vancouver-based BC Tap Water Alliance; their resulting report stated Peachland requires a logging moratorium to pre-
serve the health of its watershed; • Encouraged the District of Peachland to form a Healthy Watershed Committee; • Met regularly with provincial MLA and ministers to urge protection of Peachland’s watershed, to ensure water quantity, quality and timing of flow. Finally, the Peachland Watershed Protection Alliance is part of a global movement that understands water is our most precious resource and deserves our protection. As Martin Luther King said, we may have all come on different ships we’re in the same boat now.
