29 bear sightings in 21 days

has experts calling for us to be more bear aware KRISTEN FRIESEN EDITOR

Almost every day in Peachland this month, someone has spotted a bear.

And while finding black bears this time of year isn’t uncommon, what’s unusual is the sheer number of them being reported this spring, says our area’s WildSafe BC Community Coordinator.

“From May 1 to the 21st, there have been 29 reports regarding black bears in Peachland to the Conservation Offier Service,” says Meg Bjordal, who has been going door-to-door in Peachland trying to educate us on how to be more bear aware.

Last year at this time, there were only six reported sightings, but in 2017, 22 bears were reported.

“Of the 29 reports thus far in May, 31% were sightings, while 69% were in regards to a conflict situation,” says Bjordal, explaining a conflict situation can range from a bear going through garbage, to an actual human encounter.

“The main message is that we have bears in Peachland at the moment, and it’s important to be vigilant about attraction management.”

This includes not only putting out your garbage at the appropriate time (Peachland’s bylaw says between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.), but looking around your property for other bear-goodies.

“Taking your garbage out in the morning, instead of leaving it overnight is a big thing, but bird feeders, barbecues, pet food and fruit trees are attractants as well,” Bjordal says.

“The problem is once they start becoming accustomed to unnatural

food sources, they’ll stick around residential areas looking for food and associate people with food. They become habituated to people and they lose their natural wariness of people and that can be a safety issue for people and we want to avoid this.”

The bruins have been spotted from Robinson Rd. all the way to the Antler’s Beach area, and despite what online commentators say, it’s important to report sightings to Conservation Officers.

“These reports are essential for both COS and the WildSafeBC Community Coordinator to be able to monitor bear activity in the community and know where education on attractant management is needed. If bears are only reported once a conflict situation has fully developed, then few options for education and prevention exist,” Bjordal says.

The Conservation Officer Service number is 1-877-952-7277, and more information about being bear aware can be found at www.wildsafebc.com.

If you see a bear up close, Bjordal says the best thing to do is stop, speak calmly, and slowly back away.

“If you see a bear, stop and do not run. You want to talk to the bear, which may sound funny, but because they have a natural wariness to people, it’s a good idea to use your voice.

Talk calmly and back away slowly to a safe spot, then call and report. It’s important not to run because bears have a natural instinct – they may think you’re prey. Any wildlife you encounter, it’s a good idea to stop and not run.

It’s unusual for a bear to recognize humans as prey, but they do have that prey instinct.”

BEING BEAR AWARE means moving your garbage bins out at appropriate times (7 a.m. to 7 p.m.), and putting away bird feeders, pet food and cleaning up your barbecues. As of this writing, 29 reports have been received so far this month.

Come join us to celebrate the official opening event with representives from the Governments of Canada, British Columbia and District of Peachland.

Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing.

Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from one-on-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate?

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

You can register to be a part of this major new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study

KRISTEN FRIESEN EDITOR

Death. It happens to all of us sooner or later, whether we want to face it or not.

And while it seems we can summon helpers for any stage of life – from doulas and midwives at birth, to counsellors and other helpers during our prime, there’s not much when it comes to facing the end of our lives.

It should be a time of peace, of reconcilliation and love, and actually, death can teach us a lot about living, says Alison Moore, a Peachlander who also happens to be an end of life doula.

“Nowadays, a lack of exposure to death leaves us in denial and ill equipped to deal with one thing that affects us all. As we come to terms with the reality of our own mortality, we are positioned to live life more fully and we are better able to support each other, our families and ourselves when death impacts our lives,” she says.

Sounds noble. But how exactly do we get comfortable with death, whether it’s our own or the imminent departure of a loved one?

That’s where Death Cafés comes in. It’s an international movement, with more than 7,500 of these events hosted in 63 countries over the past eight years. Here in the Okanagan, Moore and her friend Sue Berlie have hosted several Death Cafés over the past three years, with one planned here in Peachland at the Wellness Centre this Sunday from 1:30 to 3:30. It’s not a grief support group, rather, an informal environment, guided by facilitators. There’s opportunity to have honest and respectful conversations about death, without any expectations, agendas or judgements. And despite the fact most of those who participate are strangers, they usually leave with a pretty in-depth understanding of each other.

“People are motivated to come for different reasons,” explains Moore.

“We’ve had young people, the terminally ill, men and women.

Age is not a factor here.”

With her credentials as a Reverend, a Celebrant and a home funeral guide, Moore has a full understanding of all the phases of our lives.

“My late father would say ‘that’s my daughter, she marries and buries people,” Moore says. Her early work as an end of life doula was actually when her dad chose to pass away at home.

“I learned some important lessons being the daughter and also the doula and working with siblings. The deepest lesson I learned is that your client is the person who is dying, and we’re assisting them; they’re the focus, but the family needs support as well. There’s very different ways to deal with the dying process. It takes skill to be able to connect and bring people to where they are. For example, if family members are in denial, it takes a skillful person to meet where they are in the process, and gently bring them to the awareness of

where the client is in the process. We nurture people when they’re present, and we nurture when they leave as well.”

Yes, it’s sad, but there’s some beauty in it as well. Why does she do it?

“Honestly, it’s because I’ve experienced so much death in my life,” Moore says, explaining that years ago, her best friend died of cancer at 30 years old. She was given six months to live, but held on for two years, givng them time to have some important conversations.

“I developed a real openness to having that conversation and somehow that attracted people,” she said, explaining she and Berlie are highly trained at what they do. She also draws from her own spiritual practice.

“I’ve always had an awareness of getting the most out of every day,” she says.

This is a good segue for something that’s been on my mind the last week or so. Our family’s beloved Maxine, or Mac, passed away in Alberta this week. She was 93 years old, and the last living matriach of her generation on either side. She was my dad’s favourite auntie, a single mom for many years, a world traveller, a teacher, a librarian, a bird expert, an avid volunteer and an early adoptee of recycling before it was considered cool. She was a very special person, always learning (she’d ask my husband all sorts of technology-related questions and listen to the answers with great interest), she loved our children, and she shared a giant cheeseburger with us at the Waterfront here in town a couple years ago. She instilled in generations of our family, a love of nature that is a gift we’ll always treasure. She did life right, our Mac, and we love her very much. I’ll think of her every time I’m here, in my favourite Peachland perch.

A problem with

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

council coverage,

according to this Peachlander Dear Editor, I take issue with the reporting of the May 14th council meeting. In the article you write Peachtree developer has made a request to put up a mesh fence around the site at 5760 & 5766 Beach Ave. This is incomplete as in the agenda it says ‘install a temporary construction fence meshing signage’, not a mesh fence. The signage the developer is requesting is much larger than the bylaw allows and would severely obstruct my line of sight when turning off 4th St. onto Beach Ave. I attended the May 14th meeting because of this variance request and was pleased to see it was turned down.

I left the meeting shortly before it ended, but was NOT asked to leave.

-Robert K Taylor, Peachland Editor’s note: The district staff report on this agenda item in council refers to this fencing as ‘construction mesh fencing.’ Mr. Taylor’s assertion of it being ‘construction fence meshing signage’ is off the agenda’s front page table of contents. Information for this story came from the wording as indicated in the full staff report in the agenda. The editor attends all council meetings and the disruption during the May 14 meeting was recorded and can be viewed online on the District of Peachland website.

Condon’s request

a waste of staff time, reader says

Dear Editor, Mr. Condon ran for office in the last election and was elected by the voters, that in itself is a mystery but it is a fact.

In ICBC’s eyes his age is irrelevant, he is no longer retired because he has a job and is paid a salary ($16,000) hence the additional insurance premium. No company I know of compensates their employees for driving their car to and from work (well maybe Google). On the issue of using your car on company business as an example, a 30 km to trip to West Kelowna would be expensed at $.58 per kilometre or $17.40 if you deduct $3.75 for gas that leaves $13.65 for insurance and maintenance. I agree with the Mayor that is adequate compensation for 20 minutes of driving.

Wasting staff time on this is ludicrous.

Head down to the first farmer’s market of the year Sunday KRISTEN FRIESEN EDITOR

It’s back, and Peachland’s new pier will be a firsttime backdrop to the farmer’s market, which returns Sunday.

And while we wait for the cherries, peaches and our summer-weather produce, market manager Linda Arpin says there’s still plenty of fresh finds.

“Vendors include a wide variety of unique crafts, arts and edibles,” she says.

“There will be many fresh colourful fruits and vegetables available. Plus natural cosmetic choices, aromatic baking, hand made arts, and imaginative artisans.”

Market organizers are hoping to secure weekly musical guests to entertain the crowds as they shop.

“They offer a wonderful ambience to our market, from lively upbeat music to relaxing and soulful,” Arpin says.

The market goes from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Sunday, starting May 26 and ending Sept. 28. For more info, check out peachlandfarmersandcraftersmarket.ca

IT’S MARKET TIME, and vendors are getting ready for this Sunday, the first day of the outdoor market season in Peachland.

A FOREST ADVENTURE:

Greata Creek Camp, just west of town off Headwaters Road, hosted a staycationtype event over the long weekend.

Kids enjoyed examining trees, learning about their life and death, while taking part in a scavenger hunt for tinder. Families also identified and mapped different tree species before enjoying lunch over an outdoor fire. The Camp wants to thank two people, Naomi and Chris, who planted more than 100 trees at the Camp recently.

It was all part of the learning that took place as part of the Meadowlark Festival, an annual event that showcases our area’s natural wonders. Peachlanders gathered for an interpretive walk, followed by Luszcz’s presentation. For those who want to take part in BEEPS’ bat counts, the first one of the season is planned for Friday, June 14 starting at 8:30 p.m. outside the Visitor Centre.

HONOUR:

Peachlander Mary Power (far right), her sisters and her father recently gathered to take a special family picture. Back in 2015 Frank Yoshioka (pictured below), received a pair of medals from the BC Sports Hall of Fame, which he accepted on behalf of his late father and uncle. Tom Yoshioka and “Happy” Yoshioka were posthumously honoured, as members of the famous Japanese - Canadian Asahi baseball team. The team was formed in 1914, wowing fans and frustrating opponents with their unique strategy of bunts, base-stealing, speed and squeeze plays. In April, Canada Post released a set of stamps commemorating the team, and our local Peachland post office has helped the family create shadow boxes with the stamps to give to relatives.

WORLD OF WHEELS

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE, hundreds of cars, great music (including the Blues Brothers Too), and thankfully, great weather made the 22nd annual World of Wheels a huge success. Freelance photographer Lance Bremner checked it all out for the first time last weekend.

LANCE BREMNER PHOTO

World of Wheels a big winner for this first-timer LANCE BREMNER

SPECIAL TO THE VIEW I have lived here for 12 years now and have never attended the World of Wheels event. This year, the Peachland View asked me to assist in providing photographs for the paper. By day, I work at an automotive dealership and while that provides for my family’s life, cars are not my life. In my spare time I enjoy taking photographs, thousands of them.

Every year my family and I avoided being around Peachland on this weekend. There’s no denying that there are thousands of enthusiasts from all over that flock to our beautiful little corner of the world. Sunday morning we arose and got down to Beach Ave around 9:30. We parked at about 11th St and walked to the Community Center where it all really begins. The event didn’t officially start until 11 a.m., but the air was abuzz. People were prepping and even though there were still participant vehicles arriving, those who just can’t wait were already walking up and down, in and around the vehicles that were already there. Unlike the unwanted early bird to your garage sale, the owners of the cars were more than willing to start discussing and visiting with everyone who was interested in their machines.

I took quite a few moments to stand at the corner of 6th and Beach trying to assess all that was about to take place and would be going on for the day. It became a little overwhelming.

At that moment Pam Cunningham, the event’s organizer, walked by and while I thought of getting her picture for the paper I couldn’t help but think, “wow, what an undertaking and talk about assessing what was about to go on and being overwhelmed for the day.”

I approached her and asked if I could take her picture for the paper. She was gracious enough to take a moment in her busy schedule to accommodate me.

I asked her if there was any chance she gets to actually enjoy the day and she replied, “not usually” with a smile.

As I proceeded to walk down Beach Ave towards Heritage Park there were conversations – tens, hundreds of them. I came to three men sitting on their lawn chairs. Perhaps talking about the day to come or possibly about days gone by. One of the men was Mr.

Chris DeHart who owns a 1978 MGB (custom with a Chevy V6). A friend of Mr. DeHart had built this MGB when Chris said that he sure would like to own something like that. They ended up striking a deal. The vehicle has been on a group drive to Wisconsin and back.

Mr. DeHart says the Chevy engine is excellent when on the road because he can get parts anywhere although if and when he shows up to a shop, the initial reaction is to turn him away until he proves it’s actually a Chevy engine.

I walked a little further where Mr. Rob Klatt has an unbelievably pristine, glossy black 1967 Chevy Camaro. Mr. Klatt bought this car when he was 18.

It’s been his own “labor of love” project ever since.

As I walked in to Heritage Park there were lots of discussions going on. There were two gentlemen sitting behind a Jaguar that were simply enjoying whatever they were talking about. In the furthest back corner of the whole show was a small group of four men and a lady sitting behind a Yellow GTO just enjoying their day at the lakeside.

I won’t claim, all of a sudden, to be a major car enthusiast after attending my first Peachland World of Wheels, but I certainly came away from the event with a whole different outlook and appreciation for what this event is. There is an art, creativity, incredible attention to detail, drive to follow through, passion – not to mention what it does for our community.

There are infinite stories of how each of these vehicles get here whether upkept since new, where they were purchased, or gone through restoration.

There are hundreds more stories of where they have been. But like anything else in our lives, it’s the people.

The people who take time to bring their projects, their stories, preserving the histories and taking time to enjoy what makes them happy in life. Best of all, they chose to spend their day bringing and sharing with thousands and thousands of others hanging out in Peachland for just one day.

If you related to my first two paragraphs, I challenge you to visit the World of Wheels next year. You’ll have memories and stories to share. I’m betting you just might enjoy yourself as I did.

Thank You Pam Cunningham and your team for what ended up being a fantastic day.

SO MANY STORIES: Chris DeHart shows off his 1978 MGB, which has a Chevy engine. He was one of the many, many car enthusiasts with stories to tell. Organizers estimate between 10,000 to 12,000 people descended on Beach Avenue for the annual auto show. It’s said this year’s event – the 22nd annual – was the best ever.

World of Wheels and being water-wise: From the Mayor’s desk Hello fellow Peachlanders, I hope you’re enjoying the warmer spring weather. It’s great to see so many people out and about enjoying our community.

The World of Wheels Car Show this last Sunday was another great success!

Thank you to Pam Cunningham and all of the amazing group of organizers for the massive amount of work they do to bring this one-day event to our community. I know it takes months of planning.

And thank you to the sponsors, and to all the entrants for displaying their prize possessions downtown for all of us to enjoy.

The Mayor’s Choice for Classic Car this year was a gorgeous robin’s egg shell blue 1953 Chev convertible, owned by J. Reimer of West Kelowna. I’ve always loved cars with some shape and style to them. In the quest to make more aerodynamic vehicles the artistic design and uniqueness of form has been lost, which makes these vintage car shows so popular. Our family’s old 1969 Volkswagen van would have fit in perfectly.

I would also like to remind you that the “Make Water Work” Campaign by the Okanagan Basin Water Board has officially kicked off. It is a water conservation campaign with prizes. The launch took place at École Glenmore Elementary in Kelowna with several mayors and about 200 young students participating. The kids had terrific low water plant displays in their gardens, and together they assisted us in planting

our own plant in the gardens.

Peachland was the 2016 Make Water Work Community Champion for having the most pledges to conserve water, calculated on a per capital basis.

Let’s regain our community champion status. The City of Armstrong has had it for the last couple of years since snatching it from Peachland, and have publicly challenged us to reclaim it.

It only takes a couple minutes. Please go to: makewaterwork.ca. All you have to do is check-off one or more of the six easy pledges, fill in your name and postal code for counting purposes, and that’s it! (Other than encouraging your friends and neighbours to do the same.)

The pledges are simple, such as: I pledge to only water between dusk and dawn; I pledge to water plants, not pavement, I pledge to leave my grass 2-3 inches tall (which helps retain moisture; the shorter the grass the quicker the evaporation and the more watering is needed.). You can make the pledge even if you live in a condo or apartment.

Water conservation is important for all of us. Collectively we can make a difference. Please go to the Make Water Work website (with your children and grandchildren, if possible). By doing so, as we saw École Glenmore Elementary, water conservation will become the norm for our kids, and future generations.

Hope you have a great summer! See you out there.

-Mayor Cindy Fortin

Art group gets ready th

for 59 annual show and sale The Peachland Art Group is hosting their 59th Annual Art Show & Sale on Saturday, May 25th from 5-8pm and Sunday, May 26th from 10-4pm in the Community Centre.

Over 250 pieces of art will be on display featuring paintings in acrylic, oil, watercolour, alcohol inks and more.

Mary Smith (Richard’s mom) started this painting group in the early 50s with three of her friends and it is still going strong today with over 60 members! This year’s theme “It’s a Mystery!”

will surprise everyone – especially the group’s members as they have each been asked to paint 50 small canvases from a provided photo. The big reveal will happen on Saturday as they all come together to create two beautiful murals. Mystery Solved!

On Sunday from noon-2pm local entertainer Peter Scholl will be playing piano and a light lunch is provided.

Admission is by Donation. Everyone is Welcome!

-Peachland Art Group

WHERE THERE’S ART:

If February’s HeARTS Festival submissions were any indication, Peachland has a ton of talent. The Peachland Arts Group is hosting their annual show and sale May 25 and 26. It all takes place at the community centre, 5-8 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. this Sunday.

GUEST COLUMN

Rotary planning a sparkling event at Fitzpatrick So: the pier is finished (almost) and has been accepted as a gift for the people of Peachland by the municipality. Not every day someone gives a gift of a $500,000.00 asset to anyone, let alone the Municipality of Peachland. Generous? Yes! Particular and special thanks to our Naming Donor who enabled us to complete on time and on budget! I believe that plaques can still be purchased through the municipal office, as the Pier Group is only responsible for the finishing touches of lighting. Thanks to Rotary District 5060, the Rotary Club of West Kelowna (Daybreak) and to our own Rotary Club of Peachland for funding this aspect of the pier.

No, the pier should NOT be painted or stained because of environmental concerns and the fact that the material will not adhere to paint or stain properly. It will weather, as all cedar products do, over time. (Now no one has to sit and watch paint dry!

Did you get a ticket to our Sip and Savour event? If not, you missed a phenomenal evening of fun and laughter as well as free food and wine.

Watch for next years’ event: it promises to be even better! Particular appreciation to our incredible Wine Fest Committee for putting the whole thing together and creating a phenomenal event in the process. Thank you all.!

Now for the BIG news! Rotary is putting the finishing touches to another incredible fundraising event: A Sparkling Evening at Fitz on June 15th from 6:00 to 9:00pm. This very special evening is limited to only 100 participants: once the tickets are sold, that will be it. And they are already going fast! This semi-formal evening will be an elegant close to the presidency of Ray Kandola and will usher in the usual Concert in the Park series, – of which more, later. Guests will be welcomed with a glass of sparkling champagne style wine. Two further complimentary drinks are provided for each ticket. Tapas and hors d’oeuvres will be served throughout the evening.

There will be a silent auction and a beautiful diamond ring, valued at well over $2500.00 and donated by J K Schmidt Jewellers, will be raffled off. Additional raffle tickets will be on sale during the evening. Background music performed by Alan Rinehart, Classical Guitarist will complete the evenings’ entertainment. Proceeds from this event will be supporting JoeAnnas’ House and other Rotary projects. Plan on getting your tickets now and join us at the Fitzpatrick Family Vineyard on June 15th for a very memorable evening. See your friendly local Rotarian or call 250-767-6689.

The World of Wheels is over and what a joy THAT was: beautiful weather, beautiful cars and lots and lots of people! Next, our upcoming Peace Concerts. This year we are opening our food services at 5:00pm. Each concert starts at 6:00pm to take advantage of the evening breeze. On June 9th Marty Edwards presents the songs you love and can’t forget in Country Classics with Craig Brown, Betty Anne Northup and Easy Street.

Two weeks later Cod Gone Wild will perform their programme for June the 23rd! Artists for July 14 and 21st will appear in the Concert ads and in next months’ article. Or, better yet, click on our QR Code or go to peachlandrotary.com and check things out on-line! June will soon be here!

Charities supported by your donations for these free concerts support organisations such as ShelterBox, our Peachland FoodBank, Hippo Rollers and a multitude more. What’s a Hippo Roller? Basically a polyethylene tank shaped like a barrel with a handle. These enable people in places where water supplies are a distance from the village to get water more easily than carrying containers back and forth. Spin offs are more time for cultivation, school and marketing, Your generosity helps communities abroad as well as here at home.

See you at Fitz on June 15th!

Come and enjoy one of our meetings on Thursdays at the Gasthaus at noon!

-Chris Boyle, Chair, PI Committee, Rotary Club of Peachland.

FUNDRAISING AT FITZPATRICK: The Rotary’s next event is on June 15. Appies, an auction and entertainment is planned. And if you prefer your sparkling in diamond form, there’s a silent auction for a ring valued at $2,500.

COMMUNITY

HARBOUR HOUSE HELPS: Yvette Moore and Jen Clute cut the ribbon celebrating the opening of Harbour House, Peachland’s only shala – or space where yoga and mindfulness meld. During their opening event last weekend, they managed to raise $555 towards Her International, a charity that provides educational opportunities for women living in poverty.

DIVAS AND DIAMONDS was a big success this year - and a big part of that was the money the Peachland Lions Club managed to raise through their annual fundraiser, back in April. Here, event co-chairs Shelley Sweeney (second from left) and Lynne Herrin (to Shelley’s left), present the KGH Foundation with $9,000. Well done, ladies!
