ing says he considers it a “great honour” to have served as Peachland’s mayor for the past six years and is considering running in the upcoming election. Fielding told The View he intends to make a final decision by the end of the month. Letendre says he has picked up a nomination package but has not yet made a final decision as to whether or not he will file on September 30. The longtime resident told The View he feels the next four years is

“vital,” and would like to be a part of the decision-making process. “But a mayor is only as good as their council,” Letendre noted. Hurd, a former municipal councillor with a passion for local leadership, says potentially returning to politics after a three-year hiatus wasn’t a tough decision. “I love this town.

With nomination day just around the corner, and the mayor’s seat up for grabs, Peachlanders with political aspirations are coming out of the woodwork. According to the district’s director of corporate services Polly Palmer, three residents have gone down to the municipal office to pick up nomination packages. However, only two have given permission to have their names released to the

public. Among those who may be vying for the municipality’s top job are Peachland Highway 97 Task Force Society president Bruce Letendre and Councillor Cindy Fortin. Former councillor Ernie Hurd recently told The View he intends to toss his hat into the ring, but has not yet picked up a nomination package. Mayor Keith Fielding has not yet announced whether or not he intends to seek another term. In the meantime Field-

The vision, however, must be supported collectively by the council.” Hurd says he believes the mayor’s office needs a “facelift,” and hopes to be part of a council that will think “outside the box, not one that is locked inside it.” “I would like to be part of a council that was driving the bus; not merely passengers,” he explained.

My long memory will not let me sit idly by without speaking up to try to save B.C.’s public education. To make settlement possible, both Bills E-80 and E-81 must be deleted. The government has created those bills specifically to break the class size and composition part of working conditions for students and teachers, and all school staff. People need to know that class composition refers to how many students will be put in a classroom that have major or minor special needs, whether or not they will be allowed certified educational assistants. I have heard of classes that were half students with special needs,

but many no longer have their CEAs (which seriously disrupts and impedes learning for all), and many more will lose their categorisation and their CEAs, according to the new B.C. Education Plan. On CBC Go Public, I saw a kindergarten teacher from the Lower Mainland with half special needs children in her class. You can look it up. We need to have this settled and the students back in school. Please tell the Liberal government to cancel Bills E-80 and E-81, and come up with a fair monetary deal for our teachers, as well as the working conditions required by the BCTF for students and teachers. Our children and grandchildren thank you. Gloria Rouw, Peachland

It’s time to look at the big picture It would appear that neither Mr. Lewis nor Councillor Fortin has looked at the full picture here. The yacht club isn’t asking the town to become a bank, just to guarantee an improvements loan, to an asset that the town owns, clear title. The marina is currently valued at over $2 million. The Peachland Yacht Club was formed over 30 years ago by the town as a non-profit society, not a private club. The yacht club was to assume all financial aspects of running the marina including all improvements and operational costs ie: insurance, utilities, security, salary for a bookkeeper, property taxes (approximately $4,500 to the town) and lease payments to the town, etc. It operates on the rental of 55 moorage slips and membership fees collected. This runs at around $70,000 yearly. After all expenses are paid the remaining revenue goes towards maintenance and improvements. Over the last five years, the club has spent approximately $500 in improvements with another $400 needed in the next 5-7 years. Each time these improvements are made, it’s the town that benefits, not the yacht club. As these improvements are made, the asset value goes up. As far as the club being credit worthy, with over 30 years of excellent credit, that isn’t the issue. As you should know, no bank would issue a $150,000 loan without any security on it.

Since the yacht club has no tangible assets (they only lease the marina), that’s where the issue is. It would make sense that the yacht club would approach the town of Peachland to guarantee a improvements loan on property the town owns. So, where’s the risk for the town? If the loan is defaulted on, which the members wouldn’t let happen, the town takes over the operation of the marina and would have the loan payment paid off in a very short period of time. The yacht club has presently 80 members with 75 of them being Peachland residents with a vested interest in the marina, which has open membership to the public. And no, I’m not a member of the yacht club. A portion of the $225,000 improvements needed by the club is to cover the cost of harbouring the new rescue boat. Right now, one of the members has volunteered his slip temporarily until a more appropriate slip can be found or built. As a donation to the community, the yacht club is providing a slip at no charge. The yacht club can offer easy access as well as ongoing security and power, so this would be the best location for the rescue boat. Also, part of the improvements to be made, is to extend the breakwater, which would help to protect the boat launch from ongoing erosion. Derek Bunce, Peachland

RapidBus service expansion speeds up Westside commute Erin Christie / Peachland View Faster service, new modern stations and the latest transit technology are just a few of the upgrades revealed during Saturday’s launch of the Central Okanagan’s expanded Route 97 Rapid Bus network. The 15-kilometre route represents the second phase of the RapidBus project, and includes four new transit stations, covered bus stops, new signal communications technology that enables transit operators to extend green lights at intersections to allow them priority movement, and digital screens to provide schedule information. The upgrade also includes an increase in service hours. Weekday service will be available every 15 minutes during peak periods, and every half hour on weekends.

What does this mean for Rapid Bus riders? BC Transit executive director of business development Erinn Pinkerton says it all comes down to fewer stops and faster, more efficient bus service. “The expansion will make transit more efficient and effective and help our customers travel quickly through the Kelowna regional system,” Pinkerton explained. “We have been pleased to work closely with our partners to grow this popular service.” When completed, the $46 million project will have created nearly 240 jobs, and will provide 30 kilometres of transit service between downtown Westbank and UBC Okanagan. The route will include 10 stops and take approximately 50 minutes.

LAUNCHING THE EXPANDED RAPID BUS NETWORK Saturday were, from left, Erinn Pinkerton from B.C. Transit, Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan, Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick and West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater.

Union’s call for binding arbitration rejected by government Lyonel Doherty Special to the Peachland View A glimmer of hope that students would be back in school this week was dashed when the provincial government rejected a binding arbitration deal by teachers. BC Teachers Federation (BCTF) president Jim Iker said they would hold a provincewide vote of members to end the strike if the government agreed to binding arbitration. (This means a third party would make a decision on the dispute and both parties would have to abide by it.) Iker said this is the quickest and most effective way to end the dispute and get teachers and students back to class. But Education Minister Peter Fassbender agreed with the British Columbia Public School Employers Association to reject the proposal. “After due diligence and further investigation, it became very clear that it was another empty effort to give parents and teachers a

false hope that there is a simple way to resolve the dispute,” Fassbender said. He noted the BCTF made it clear that they would insist on several preconditions – preconditions that would “tilt the entire process in the BCTF favour.” Fassbender said teachers need to get into the affordability zone on wages and benefits so work can begin on negotiating class size and composition. “This dispute needs to be settled at the bargaining table and I invite them again to lift their pickets while the parties work towards mediating an end to this dispute.” The BCTF proposes to refer the unresolved items including salary, signing bonus, dental, pregnancy leave top-up and preparation time to binding arbitration. Items currently before the Court of Appeal and/or those items related to class size, class composition and staffing ratios are removed from the bargaining table and remain before the

courts. Iker said teachers have given up a lot and all British Columbians owe them their gratitude. “Throughout this dispute, B.C. teachers have led the way in trying to reach a fair deal that gives our students more support. We have made moves, proposed creative ideas, and taken job action only when absolutely necessary. In return, the government has put up road blocks.” Iker said a new fund is needed to improve student learning con-

ditions, noting that the government’s current Learning Improvement Fund does not meet those needs. “Everyone knows our schools are underfunded. We must take action now.” Iker said new money is necessary for pupils with special needs, those learning English, and those who just need some more oneon-one time. With no back-toschool deal in sight, parents are urged to continue making alternate plans for their children.

Local government warned to plan water use at conference Contributed Local governments in the Okanagan Valley are urged to begin regional water management planning now and avoid acrimony down the road – when drought conditions threaten supplies. The warning came from environmental law professor Deborah Curran from the University of Victoria, one of the advisors involved in creation of the province’s new Water Sustainability Act legislation passed earlier this year. She was speaking at the annual meeting of the Okanagan Basin Water Board in Kelowna Friday. Water sustainability planning provides a home-grown solution to satisfying different water needs within a region, and she recommended that local communities begin discussions now toward a plan that will

evolve over time, but which would be in place “before the ditches run dry.” Such plans would take the place of falling back on traditional water rights, with groups and individuals agreeing on what would happen to water resources under different scenarios, such as drought, she explained. These plans would be based on ensuring that the region’s economy doesn’t suffer under different water-related stressors. “Let’s talk about it ahead of time,” she advised. Curran warned civic politicians and staff that changes are coming as regulations for the new act are implemented, and it will mean local governments must now consider water in making land use decisions. She recommended local governments consult hydrologists to ensure water is used as one of the ﬁlters on decision-making. She said there will be provision for the

province to restrict the number of dwellings on a parcel of land in an area where there is limited water available, for example. As well, she said that under the act, the environment’s needs for water must be considered, particularly where fish are concerned. Such in-stream flow requirements take precedence over other water rights – even the traditional ‘first-in-time, first-in-right’ or FITFIR water allocation system. “There’s very much a commitment [in the new act] to require that basic hydrological conditions be maintained which will allow natural conditions to continue to exist,” she advised. She noted that since the Okanagan is the driest part of the province, water issues here are the most acute in the province. Either local governments can work together to come to agreements about sus-

tainable water use, or the province can impose them, she added. “The process is up to you.” Agriculture water reserves could be part of such water management plans, she said. New groundwater regulations will be the ﬁrst to come into force as part of the new act, and they’re slated to be introduced Apr. 1, 2015. Large users will be the focus at ﬁrst. Up to now, groundwater use in B.C. has been unregulated. All licences, groundwater and new and existing surface water licences will be subject to review after 30 years, instead of being permanent, she warned. “Entitlements may change,” she added, “depending on conditions.” Curran said urban water use, such as on lawns and outdoor landscapes, has to be reduced.

Get fit the easy way

You know you need a proper exercise program, but do you actually know how to structure one? The vast majority of individuals who make the decision to get into shape (lose excess body fat, condition muscle tissue, improve posture etc.), join a fitness club. Once they’re signed up, they believe they will make steady progress until they reach their fitness ideal. Would that it were so. The sad reality is that most gym members will quit in less than seven months and the bulk of those that don’t will just go through the motions until their membership expires. Only about five per cent actually progress enough to achieve any level of satisfaction. Interest-

ingly, success ratios for ﬁtness and business are roughly equivalent. It seems that only one person in 20 has the drive and the knowledge to succeed.

Time for a reality check

The drive and the knowledge – if you’re new to your ﬁtness quest, you may not possess either at the moment. However, if you believe that an individual can learn to succeed by building upon their efforts, (learning from failure as well as improving through the acquisition of knowledge), then your probability of achieving “eye-popping” results may soon be within your grasp. It would be fair to say that World Gym, having been in the ﬁtness business for around 40 years and trained many millions of members,

has garnered a fair bit of knowledge about what it really takes to get into the kind of shape most of us would trade our most prized possession for. It turns out that process is like a Mozart Symphony – deceptively simple to a novice, but seriously challenging once you attempt to master it. In other words, most ﬁtness buffs will come to realize that simple, it deﬁnitely isn’t.

What it is

Okay, so here’s the simple part; getting into shape requires two types of effort – aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic exercise, also known as cardio, consists of low to medium intensity activities like jogging, swimming, walking or cycling that are able to use oxygen to adequately meet the energy demands of the exercise via aerobic

metabolism. Anaerobic exercise is exercise intense enough to trigger lactic acid formation. (I know what you’re thinking, that was the simple part?) How about this – light exercise is aerobic, but if you run out of breath, it’s anaerobic.

So what?

Well, prolonged light exercise – say, treadmill – will expend energy – 50 to 60 per cent of which will come from fat. The rest comes from muscle. This you don’t want. Muscle tissue is biologically active, (i.e. it uses calories to sustain itself), whereas fat is more or less inert. The higher the ratio of muscle to fat in your body, the more calories you metabolize, the less fat you store. This is good. So, how do you get more muscle? You probably guessed it, you lift weights.

Some details

Putting it all together requires a bit of planning, but it is well worth it. Here’s a couple more things you’ll need to know; there are two pathways in the body that are key to an effective exercise program. The mTOR pathway is responsible for building muscle tissue: protein synthesis. The AMPK pathway increases your fat-burning capacity, (metabolism), by stimulating mitochondria, tiny energy producing sites in most cells. These two pathways, while not mutually exclusive, should not be invoked during the same session. In other words, try not to do your cardio in the same workout as your resistance training. If you do, then whichever you do last will dominate the session and last well into the rest of the day. If you lift weights to build muscle, you probably want that effect to continue for many hours to come, rather than closing down the mTOR pathway and opening the AMPK, the effect of which, by the way, only lasts a few hours.

How about this?

Day 1: chest, back, shoulders. Day 2: aerobics, core, calves, tibs. Day 3: biceps, triceps, forearms. Day 4: aerobics, core, calves, tibs. Day 5: power lifts, quads, hams. The days don’t have to be consecutive – it depends on your determination.

COPS FOR KIDS - RCMP officers from across

HEART OF A LION - Peachland Lions Club president Dave Stuart, left, and vice president Eldon Kerbes, right, present Constable Stan Walstrom

with a cheque for $1,000 in support of Cops for Kids, a not for profit organization that raises funds and awareness for children in medical, physical and traumatic crisis.

B.C. embarked on a 10-day, 1,000km trek across the Southern Interior all the support of children in need. Funds raised from the Cops for Kids Ride, such as those donated by the local Lions Club during the officers’ stop in Peachland Friday afternoon, are used to cover the cost of medical equipment, therapies, travel to Children’s Hospital, learning and mobility aids.

Newcomers group ready to grow this September Erin Christie Peachland View While most newcomers groups ask that their members “move on” to another group after two years, Peachland Newcomers group membership chair Margaret Martin says the local faction does not. Instead, Martin points out, members are invited to remain as part of the group and often, to lead other sub-groups including the book club, ladies’ social group, or the eat-in dinner group. Martin says this is because members often build strong friendships, which helps the organization to grow. “We have members who have lived here for 15 years and still enjoy the fellowship and fun of the group, not to mention meeting newcomers to the area,” Martin told The View. The group, which was started approximately 15 years ago, will hold its first meeting of the season on September 23. Martin says the group

currently includes 50 members, and she is looking forward to seeing more new faces this fall. The Newcomers welcome members from all areas of the Central Okanagan. They meet on the third Tuesday of September, November, January, March and May at the Peachland Little Schoolhouse for a short program of general interest as well as coffee and treats. Martin, who joined the group with her husband after relocating to Peachland from White Rock, says the group, true to its name, is welcoming and “open.” “More than anything, it’s a social group,” she noted. “It’s just another way to meet people in the community,” Martin says. Martin added that the group plans a special outing once a month. Past trips include a visit to the Gleaners in Vernon for a morning of volunteering followed by lunch at the Best Western.

Other highlights include a cruise on board The Boardroom on Lake Okanagan, a Halloween costume party, a Christmas celebration at The Cove and the June finale event at Eagles View.

Martin says the group has already planned a car rally and a Halloween get-together. The first meeting is September 23 at 7 pm at the Peachland Little Schoolhouse, beside

St. Margaret’s Anglican Church on Brandon Lane. The event will include a talk on “Health and Retirement” by Dr. P. Chetty, followed by a social hour.

Peachland Wellness Centre is getting back in full swing Christina McMaster Special to the Peachland View We are very excited to be back in full swing at our cozy little house on 5th Street, the Peachland Wellness Centre (PWC). Many gardening participants are harvesting their individual plots they have lovingly cared for and enjoyed throughout the summer. The gardens have brought great pleasure to all of us at the PWC and to the many people who pass by and enjoy seeing the growth. Our main goal at PWC is to make sure that no one in Peachland is lonely or isolated. Many of you know the golden years can get lonely if you have lost a loved one, your family lives far away or are busy with their own commitments. They would love to spend more time with you, but there are often not enough hours in a day. This is where we come in. We have a variety of programs and resources to ﬁll those gaps towards a richer and fuller life. Whether you need to get out of the house, have someone drop by for a chat, arrange for a reliable housekeeper or a ride to an appointment – we

can help. Our staff is available from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday to Friday, by phone or at the centre, to help you ﬁgure out what you need. Spread the word and make sure everyone knows how much fun it is to take part in the activities at PWC!

PEACHLAND PADDLEBOARDER SHUAN BOO leads a group of brave participants through a special session of Qigong excercises on

stand up paddle boards, during the Wellness Centre’s Tai Chi for Wellness program last week.

To highlight some of the great happenings, our week starts off with Monday morning coffee at 10 a.m. This informal gathering of spirited ladies may be just the answer after a quiet weekend. Join them for coffee, tea and goodies, lots of laughter and who knows, you may leave with new friends. Next in our line-up is

the United Church hall on 4th Street. Tai Chi is practiced around the planet. It beneﬁts the mind, the body, and the spirit. Our group practises the 108 form of Taoist Tai Chi brought to Canada from China in the 1970s by Moi Lin-Shin. 108 steps are learned in sequence. If done correctly, they will exercise every muscle in the body.

Body, Row the Boat to the Centre of the Lake, Part the Clouds, and Swimming Dragon. Tai Chi and Qigong can be adapted to seated exercises, and all participants move according to their own abilities. The class starts at 9:30 a.m., with an intake of new beginners on September 18. If you are curious about this form of meditative ﬁtness training, please come and try it. Everyone is welcome. The bereavement group meets faithfully every Thursday morning of the year, and has

coffee and cards at 10 a.m. The men meet twice a week so they can get in extra practice in order to hopefully beat the reigning champions – the ladies – who meet for cards on Friday at 1 p.m. The friendly completion is in its fourth year and the ladies have taken the title each year. If you are good with cards and enjoy friendly entertaining competition come join either the men or ladies and get ready for the annual spring competition. We wrap up the week with our famous “Jerry

Dober Sunday Breakfast.” The breakfast happens most every Sunday of the year for everyone to come and enjoy. It is a hearty breakfast with choices of eggs, bacon or sausage, hash browns, toast or pancakes or French toast as well as coffee and juice for $5.75. For children ﬁve and under, a half breakfast is offered for free. The Wellness Centre uses the Jerry Dober Breakfast as a fund raiser, and our patrons have found it to be a good place to come and meet people and socialize. Don’t be afraid to come by yourself, there is always a friendly group to join! Our volunteers bring their enthusiasm and good cheer to this fun event and fundraiser for PWC.Whether you are new to the area or have lived here your whole life we hope to see you out on Sundays, 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. for a yummy breakfast. I am so excited about the many great programs at the Peachland Wellness Centre and would love the chance to share them with all of you, so to ﬁnd out more about our many programs, especially what has not been mentioned here, please come by 4426 5th Street or call the PWC at 250-767-0141, email wellnesscentre@shaw. ca, check us out on Facebook or visit www. peachlandwellnesscentre.ca.

Here’s How It Works - 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 the puzzle!

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Celebrate.” These words articulate the Get to Know program’s mission to foster connections to nature through the creative arts while celebrating the contributions young people can make. Launched in March 2000 by renowned naturalist artist Robert Bateman, the program, which was introduced to the Okanagan in June 2014, includes an annual contest of the same name.

This program tries to mitigate that by giving young people the opportunity to get excited about being outdoors.” Whittet noted that this is the first time the contest has been run in Peachland and is being sponsored by the local Rotary faction. She said she is hopeful the contest will have a positive

The West Kelowna Sun Devils won against the West Kelowna Red Blacks 33-0 in an intense season opener on September 7.

Jen Scott Special to the Peachland View The Peewee (PW) West Kelowna Sun Devils, whose roster includes children from West Kelowna and Peachland, started their season off with a sensational win against the PW West Kelowna Red Blacks. Both teams arrived at the Shannon Woods Football Field in West Kelowna full of grit and determination on Sunday afternoon. The Sun Devils’ offense was unstoppable

The Sun Devils dominated the field, scoring four more touchdowns, ending the game with a final score of 33-0. The West Kelowna Sun Devils will take on the Vernon Magnums this Sunday, September 14, at Grahame Park in Vernon.
