Speeding, distracted driving still problems in Peachland

Drivers slow down when they see volunteers with high-visibility vests and a radar gun, but according to Peachland’s Speed Watch coordinator Wayne Hemsley, it isn’t necessarily local leadfoots that the organization is watching for these days. page 6

The West Kelowna Sun Devils fought hard against the Vernon Magnums Sunday morning. The Pee Wee powerhouses achieved one more touchdown in the third quarter, but were unable to stop Vernon from dominating the game with a final score of 48-13. For more details on the game turn to page 15.

Relieved. That’s how School District 23 chair Moyra Baxter feels about the new tentative agreement between B.C. teachers and the government, which could see students back to school next Monday. “As soon as I heard those words, I jumped out of bed,” Baxter wrote in a letter to The View Wednesday morning. “This has been a dispute wrought with misinformation, acrimonious statements, conﬂicting information, and lack of respect on both sides. Only when the sides decided last weekend to get together behind closed doors with a media blackout was there a cause for optimism. It appears that it worked.” District 53 chair Marieze Tarr agreed that the late announcement is wonderful news, adding that she is ecstatic. “This is something everyone was wanting – a negotiated settlement as opposed to binding arbitration or legislation,” Tarr said on Tuesday. “I heard it will be a six-year contract, so See SCHOOL on page 2

Tarr said she believes the relationship with teachers will still be a good one considering it’s a fresh start to the school year. Sylvia Slater, president of the South Okanagan Similkameen Teachers’ Union, said she is cautiously optimistic about the deal. “I haven’t yet seen all of the language but I do know teachers, students and parents want schools open.” Slater said even if there are significant improvements to the Learning Improvement

We must then focus on the critical work of strengthening our public education system and rebuilding trust,” Rezansoff said. In a news conference on Tuesday, B.C. Premier Christy Clark said a negotiated settlement is a “remarkable achievement after 30 years of dysfunction.” Clark confirmed the six-year proposed contract, which will give teachers and the government time to improve education for students. “We can work to-

gether now rather than constant fighting.” Clark thanked parents and students for their patience during this “painful” disruption. The premier said the tentative deal gives teachers a fair wage increase and an investment in classroom composition and teacher support. She stressed that all of this comes without raising taxes or putting the government in a deficit position. Clark pointed out that students could be back in class by next Monday. During question period, the premier was asked how much the deal would cost the taxpayer. Clark said she couldn’t disclose the details until teachers had a chance to review them. “It is within our fiscal plan,” she noted. Responding to questions about outstanding legal issues, Clark said the agreement will allow the government to settle grievances. But she stated the existing court case (on bargaining rights) will continue. Education Minister Peter Fassbender responded to a concern about how the government will make up for the five weeks that students have been out of school. He said school district superintendents will be working on those plans and will be making announcements. “We guarantee that students’ educational journeys will be kept whole,” Fassbender said.

COUNCIL NEWS BYLAW BEAT

Cost of illegal dumping could close district’s compost site Dale Zimmerman Special to the Peachland View There has been a lot of illegal dumping at Peachland’s compost site lately; if this activity continues the compost site may be closed as it is becoming very expensive for the district to operate. Any garbage that is dumped must be cleaned up by our employees and taken to the Glenmore landﬁll site for disposal. I don’t think anyone wants to see that happen, so I will clarify what should and should not be disposed of at the site. The District of Peachland compost site is for the use of residents of Peachland. This site is intended for yard and garden waste only; not for household garbage, recyclables, old lum-

ber or construction waste. Acceptable materials include grass, leaves, pine needles, cones, wind fallen fruit, garden plants, prunings and trees or branches that are already chipped. Plastic bags must be emptied and removed from the site. All loads must be covered with a tarp when it is being transported to the compost site. Loads containing unacceptable items are subject to ﬁnes. Everyone can help to keep this site open. If you see any illegal

dumping please record the license plate number, vehicle description and the date and time. To report illegal dumping you may call me at 250-212-2331. Violators will be dealt with in accordance to the District Solid Waste Bylaw No. 1899. Many of the bylaws of Peachland are posted on our web site, and can be viewed by anyone free of charge. If you require any assistance please contact the ofﬁce at 250-767-2647 or call me on my cell phone at 250-212-2331.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

PUBLIC NOTICE OF PROPERTY TAX SALE

Council notes

Notice is hereby given that Council will hold a Public Hearing on:

Pursuant to Section 405 of the Local Government Act, notice is hereby given that the following properties will be subject to TAX SALE unless Delinquent Taxes, together with interest, are sooner paid. The 2014 TAX SALE will be conducted in Council Chambers of the District of Peachland, 4450 6th Street, at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, September 29th, 2014.

Development permit granted for Habitat for Humanity

Council will hear from persons who consider their interest to be affected by the proposed bylaw amendments:

Council approved a development permit and adopted an OCP and zoning amendment for the Habitat for Humanity development at 4912 Princeton Ave. The development will consist of six residential units within three duplex buildings offered by Habitat for Humanity for affordable housing.

New dog park strategy moving forward

The town’s parks regulation bylaw will be updated to reﬂect the new dog park strategy after council gave the proposal its third reading last week. The proposed changes, which were available to public viewing throughout the summer, allows for dogs at on-leash dog beaches to go off-leash when they are in the water. This change is part of a 25-year dog park strategy that will tentatively provide residents in each area of the district with a fenced off-leash dog area. The strategic direction still requires review and budget approval from council at various stages along the way.

Bylaw No. 2068 to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 1375, 1996, defines a “Licensed Medical Marihuana Production Facility” and provides Council with discretion to approve a rezoning application for a “Licensed Medical Marihuana Production Facility” by adding it as a new Permitted Use in the A-1 Rural/Agricultural zone and the RR-1 Rural Residential Zone, if located on lands designated as Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) for “Licensed Medical Marihuana Production Facility”, which must be licensed by Health Canada under the Federal Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations.

Canada Post Contract #41127536

In my letter to the editor in the September 12 edition of the Peachland View, some figures were presented in error. The amounts the yacht club has spent in improvements over the past five years should have read $500,000, with projections for the next 5-7 years, in the amount of $400,000.

It was very important to have these amounts accurately given, as it reflects the investment the club has made to constantly improving the marina. Derek Bunce, Peachland

Highway speed limit should be reviewed

I would like to suggest the speed limit starting in Highway 97C near Drought Hill be changed to 70 km/h. I suggest we buy a speed radar and leave it there permanently. Looking at the tire skid marks on the road, drivers are having a surprise when turning and seeing traffic has backed up Drought Hill due to

increased traffic and new traffic lights. We should also have a permanent speed radar at Princeton to change the speed to 70 km/h through Peachland. I would strongly recommend that the provincial government approve a photo radar. Mike Polvere, Peachland

Yacht club request is a no-brainer

Regarding the yacht club request for guarantor from the town for a loan. It seems to me that Mr. Lewis and Cindy Fortin, who aspires to become mayor, are ill informed as to the history of the yacht club and its lease from the town. Do we really want Cindy Fortin at the helm of Peachland for four years? It is important that we have a new rescue boat and the proper slip needed. Once again, we have people on our town board never seeing the big picture.

Their minds seem to be closed. Let’s get some business people running for office. Peachland is a beautiful town but some people are unaware how to promote it. By the way, the yacht club is a non-profit society. I might add I do not own a boat and am not a member of the Peachland Yacht Club. This guarantee should be a no-brainer. C. Thiessen, Peachland

Is Peachland ready for an e-government? I have two questions and a comment about the proposed amendment to council procedure bylaw No. 2063, which allows the mayor and council members to attend council meeting via Skype. Does the proposed bylaw mean someone could be elected to serve on council and be away from Peachland for extended periods, or perhaps move away from Peachland altogether but still serve on council? Does this mean that people serving on council attending by Skype can be asked questions in real time by residents attending council meetings, or committee meeting? This bylaw affords elected officials a privilege not extended to the voters.

We, the voters, cannot now participate in meetings by Skype (or other interaction channel). Before moving forward with this bylaw amendment, the first order of creating e-government is to include the voters as participants in remote, real time participation. This proposed bylaw puts the cart before the horse. I object to the proposed change since it seems to open the door for an absentee mayor and council. I see on the Peachland municipal website that the last day for submitting your opinion on this before the public hearing is September 30. Unfortunately the website link to the bylaw amendment doesn’t work. Nancy Merrill, Peachland

B.C. Corrections seeking staff for South Okanagan facility Lyonel Doherty Special to the Peachland View Want to be a correctional officer for the new prison? Now is your chance to put your best foot forward. BC Corrections is putting out the call for a few good men and women in the South Okanagan who are interested in a career at the new Okanagan Correctional Centre. Construction on the $200 million facility has begun in Senkulmen Business Park north of Oliver. Now the Ministry of Justice is turning its attention to hiring correctional officers. Information sessions will be held in Oliver and Osoyoos for people who want to learn more about the hiring process. The prison, slated to open in 2016, will create more than 240 correctional officer positions. Osoyoos Mayor Stu Wells said he is delighted to see the ministry announcing these job opportunities. “This is an early heads up for local residents to sit down and see what the requirements are to be eligible to be a corrections officer.” Wells said he understands that BC Corrections does its own training inhouse, so interested residents can get some educational upgrades if needed. “I hope this generates a lot of interest as it is a great employment opportunity,” Wells said. Oliver Mayor Ron Hovanes said he was previously informed by the ministry that 40 per cent of the jobs would be new hires, while 60 per cent would be transfers from other facilities. “It was also said that after a few years they would all be local positions. It makes sense that there would need to be a significant skill set from day one,” Hovanes said. Myers Bennett, president of the South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce, said he expects that any senior officers who

want to retire to the Okanagan at the end of their career will want to transfer to the new facility in Oliver. “I am sure their move would be paid for by the government, so they would take up a lot of the senior positions.” Bennett wonders about all of the other jobs (food services, etc.) that BC Corrections will need to fill in Oliver. “I know there are a lot of motels and restaurants in the Okanagan this year that were shorthanded, and if these same jobs open in the prison with higher pay, then how do we prepare to fill in the vacancies which will occur as a result of these employees wanting to make a better wage?” In any event, Bennett believes the 240 positions will bring in a lot of new families, who will have a lot of options as to where they want to live depending on there lifestyle. “Some will want

to stay and be able to bike to work and want the quiet lifestyle of Oliver as they have a lot more services including the hospital. Others may choose Osoyoos or Okanagan Falls as they want to live on the lake, and others may want the shopping so they will choose Penticton.” Bennett said the South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce has put together a package showing the benefits of living in the South Okanagan in order to convince new families to relocate here. “This is huge value to Mt. Baldy with all the added families as to additional potential for skiers as well.” Bennett noted that the chamber is actively working with a receiver to get the ski hill open again and operating on a larger scale, possibly seven days a week. In regards to hiring local contractors, the chamber has established a registry of 600-plus contractors

who have signed up for potential work at the site. “If I am a contractor or I am wanting to work on the project, it would be like any other project; I would need to contact that (general) contractor and make them aware I am ready to go to work so I am out front and centre.” In regards to local building supply companies, Bennett suspects a lot of these larger contractors have special rates worked out with their current suppliers for large volumes. “But I am sure there will be a lot of spin-offs to the local building suppliers; on any job you always need something and you are not going to be running to Kelowna or Vancouver to get it.” The Ministry of Justice confirmed a few details about the types of jobs that will be performed by inmates within the facility. For example, laundry services will be provided by inmates

– a standard practice in all BC correctional centres. A contract to provide food services will be required, in addition to contracted service providers such as nurses, doctors, dentists, trades personnel and counsellors. The ministry says inmates may assist with kitchen, janitorial, maintenance tasks, and other tasks such as tailoring, industrial ceramic production and hardware packaging. They may also learn trades such as TV maintenance, painting and landscaping. Next month BC Corrections and the Justice Institute of BC will host two-hour orientation sessions that will provide people with an overview of correctional work, including the culture, safety and security. The first orientation session will be held on October 6 at the Osoyoos Indian Band resource building in Oliver from Dinero Ent. Inc. D.B.A.

6-8 p.m. The second will be held on October 7 at Osoyoos Secondary School from 6-8 p.m. The third session will take place at the Oliver Recreation Centre on October 8 from 6-8 p.m. Those interested in attending any of these sessions can call 604-462-5170, or register by email at recruiter.occ@gov. bc.ca with “register” in the subject line.

The first readiness session will be held at the Osoyoos Indian Band community hall in Oliver on October 14-17 from 6-9:15 p.m. The second session is scheduled for October 18-19 at Southern Okanagan Secondary School in Oliver from 8:30 a.m to 4:30 p.m. The third session will be hosted at Osoyoos Secondary School on October 25-26 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Speeding, distracted driving still a problem in Peachland Erin Christie / Peachland View Drivers slow down when they see volunteers with high-visibility vests and a radar gun, but according to Peachland’s Speed Watch coordinator Wayne Hemsley, it isn’t necessarily local leadfoots that the organization is watching for these days. Hemsley says the group is becoming more concerned about the increasing number of incidents involving distracted drivers. “Cell phones are a big problem,” Hemsley told The View at the conclusion of a recent Speed Watch blitz. “We see a lot of people texting and talking on the phone. You would think after all the stories you hear about people getting in accidents, they would stop, but it seems to be getting worse.” Acting district advisory NCO Cst. Kris Clark says it has been illegal to use personal electronic devices, including a hand-held cell phone, while driving in British Columbia since Jan. 1, 2010. In B.C., the penalty for emailing and texting while driving is $167, plus three demerit points on a driver’s record. Despite the deterrents, Clark says ICBC statistics have shown distracted driving to be the second-leading cause of motor vehicle fatalities in B.C., with an average of 88 per year, behind speeding (105) and narrowly ahead of

impaired driving (86). In 2013, 51,000 tickets were issued in B.C. for distracted driving. “That’s a huge number,” Clark noted. “People are still continuing to commit this offence. Police are still ticketing for it. It’s not going away and it’s a very real problem.” But Hemsley thinks the government should be doing more. The longtime volunteer says he wants to see the government act on evidence to crack down on distracted driving. “I don’t think the ﬁnes are big enough,” Hemsley added. “I think people using their phones while driving should get their phones taken away.” In addition to Speed Watch, Hemsley leads a 26-member team known as Citizens on Patrol, who volunteer to act as the extra “eyes and ears” for law enforcement in the community. Once a week members set up “speed traps” to observe motorists driving through Peachland. He says the group primarily assists police to deter crime in their communities and improve safe driving habits. Volunteers meet receive training, always patrol in pairs and do not take enforcement action. “We only observe and report,” Hemsley said. Teams also look for “unusual” activities in neighbourhoods, parks and

parking lots. The group also works closely with the RCMP who coordinate the stolen auto recovery program. Recovery volunteers cruise the streets looking for stolen vehicles. Using a smartphone and laptop, volunteers enter license plate numbers of vehicles, using stolen auto data stored in the smartphone for reference. When a stolen vehicle is spotted, they radio the police to report the location. Between 1994 and 2005 volunteers recovered 8,817 stolen vehicles and 1,122 stolen license plates in British Columbia. Hemsley says some communities have seen a reduction in criminal activity by as much as 20 per

cent as a result of active COP groups; a fact Hemsley says he takes great pride in. “It feels good to give back to the community and help make it a safer place,” he said. “It’s great to know we have an impact.” The Peachland Citizens on Patrol are currently recruiting and accepting applications for new volunteers for both programs. Candidates must be at least 19, posses a clean driving record and be able to dedicate a few hours per month. To apply or to receive more information on the program visit the Community Policing ofﬁce on 6th Street across from the Community Centre between Monday and Friday.

Memory loss is not an automatic side effect of aging

No one, regardless of age, is immune to random bouts of memory loss. While misplaced car keys or forgetting items on your grocery list are nothing to get worked up over, many men and women over 50 do start to worry about memory lapses, especially when they start to occur with more frequency than they might have just a few years ago. But while memory loss might be quickly associated with aging, increased

forgetfulness is not an inevitable side effect of getting older, a fact that those at or approaching retirement age should ﬁnd comforting. When considering the relationship between memory and aging, it’s important that people recognize the distinction between memory lapses and dementia, as the two are not one and the same. As a person ages, his or her hippocampus, the region of the brain involved in the formation and

retrieval of memories, often deteriorates. This can affect how long it takes to learn and recall information. But just because this process is slower does not mean it’s a warning sign of dementia, which is the loss of certain mental functions, including memory. Though taking longer to recall information can be frustrating, many people still retain their ability to recall information. In addition, while dementia brought on by conditions such

its mundane moments. The brain can grow accustomed to these moments, which tend to be a routine part of the day. But altering your daily routine can jar the brain awake, forcing it to focus during those times that had become mundane but now present new challenges. Something as simple as alternating driving routes to work from day to day or preparing some new, yet healthy, breakfast each morning can help the brain stay alert and sharp. Become a social butterﬂy. Maintaining a social life as you age is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family. But there’s another reason to continue to be socially engaged.

as Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease is untreatable, there are things men and women can do to strengthen their memories and reduce their momentary lapses in memory. Start playing games. Games that test the mind have long been believed to beneﬁt the brain, though some remain skeptical about the true impact of brain games. However, a study found that brain games may in fact pay numerous and long-term dividends. In the study, 681 healthy volunteers over the age of 40 were divided into four groups. One group played computerized crossword puzzles, and three other groups played a brain training video game designed

speciﬁcally to enhance the speed and accuracy of visual processing. The volunteers showed less decline in visual processing as well as in other tests that measured concentration, memory and the ability to shift quickly between tasks, and the beneﬁts from the training games lasted as long as seven years after training. Brain games are now more accessible than ever before, as players can access such games on their smartphones, tablets, ereaders, and computers. And in addition to being effective, the games also provide entertainment value. Alter your routine. Many working professionals recognize that each day tends to have

also noted that regular social interaction can delay or possibly even prevent cognitive impairment. Continue your career. While the idea of retiring poolside and watching the world go by might seem nice, such a scenario is not necessarily good for your brain. Numerous studies have shown the beneﬁts that staying engaged in professional activities can have on brain health. The brain does not thrive if it’s sitting on the sideline. Staying active in your career will continue to provide the challenges your brain needs to stay sharp and avoid memory loss and struggles with concentration. Men and women who want to leave ofﬁce life behind can branch out on their own and work as consultants or put their years of experience to use by teaching at a nearby university or secondary school. But heading off for the hammock once you have hung up your briefcase can prove troublesome for your brain.

Okanagan’s xeriscape maven shares her unique Make Water Work wisdom Contributed Growing up in a family of gardeners, Gwen Steele had her own garden at the age of five, triggering a lifelong passion for growing things. In 1992, while she worked for Burnett’s Garden Centre in Kelowna, customers would often ask which

plants make water work best growing in the Okanagan’s hot summer sun with a minimum of water. She took the queries to heart and began researching. Out of that research came a list which she carried in her pocket to answer questions at work, and a new term for gardening with nature – “xeriscape.” “I have always loved helping people garden successfully. It connects you to the earth and feeds your spirit. The Principles of Xeriscape provide an easy guide to success.” Steele comments. “Personally, I want to get the maximum benefit from my gardening time, so I use plants that do well without a lot of care. A plant requiring extra care doesn’t get to stay in my garden.” she explains. “Also,

I’ve always been keen on the environment and living in harmony with nature.” Although conserving water was not a consideration decades ago when the valley was less populated, she says, “I hated dragging hoses, so xeriscape suited me better for many reasons.” Another benefit of

creating colourful gardens using plants that thrive under local conditions turned out to be their resistance to disease and insect pests. “It’s magical to watch an infestation of aphids

disappear once the ladybugs move in,” she notes. For over 20 years, Steele has continued her quest to learn which plants do best in our valley’s challenging climate. Her xeriscape research has included growing plants and recording how they grow, once established, with little more water than falls naturally during an Okanagan summer. Today, she is executive director of the non-profit Okanagan Xeriscape Association (OXA). The group offers workshops and has a website (www.okanaganxeriscape.org) rich with photos and details about plants and techniques for growing in the dry Okanagan. With support from the Okanagan Basin Water Board, the group also created the ‘Un-H2O” xeriscape demonstration garden in front of Kelowna’s H2O Fitness Centre. One of the sug-

The chamber hosted 88 golfers and was dubbed a success.

gestions of the Water Board’s Make Water Work program is to change out at least a portion of the water-thirsty lawn surrounding our home or business with drought-tolerant turf and/or native and lowwater variety plants. Alternatives include ground covers such as junipers or thyme; mulched shrubbery such as ninebark, potentilla, saskatoons and lilacs; ornamental grasses; or

colourful perennials. “Fall is an ideal time to plant,” adds Steele, but cautions that it’s important to group plants by their water needs. “Don’t add a drought tolerant plant to a garden bed that contains plants requiring regular watering. Neither will be happy or healthy.”

For more information on turf-removal and xeriscape, visit the OXA website or sign up for an upcoming workshop. Details at www.okanaganxeriscape.org. With 24 per cent of all Okanagan water used on household lawns and gardens, and less water available per per-

son than anywhere in Canada, valley residents are encouraged to reduce outdoor water use. Learn more at www. MakeWaterWork.ca. Make Water Work is an initiative of the Okanagan Basin Water Board and its Okanagan WaterWise program.

The Bra Lady

Is Coming to Size You Up Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Due to the overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Chapman is coming to PEACHLAND, TUESDAY, SEPT. 23rd to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage. ”Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

Rotary Club welcomes women Constantine Anastasopoulos Special to the Peachland View

ERIN CHRISTIE

ROAD WARRIORS - Vintage Car Club members Grant and Stella Topham get ready to hit the

highway in their 1950 Pontiac Thursday morning. The couple, accompanied by 14 other Central Okanagan chapter members, are currently on their second annual week-long road trip to the United States, in celebration of classic cars, adventure and the open road.

Many people believe that the Rotary Club is exclusively for men. This is not the case, and in Peachland, the majority of our new members this year are women. The Peachland Rotary Club formally joined the international rotary organization in 1997, and out of our 20 original members, eight were women. Since our start we’ve had three women presidents: Margaret Sinclair in 2002/03, Midge Behnke in 2009/10, and our current president, Christina MacMaster. Today we have 31 members, and almost half (12) are women. Today the 33,000 clubs worldwide have thousands of women volunteers, create positive, lasting change in our communities and

around the world. As a new Rotarian, I’ve admired the positive energy of our women members and applaud their amazing ideas, patience, leadership and organizational skills. This year in Peachland you could see the Rotary women in action in Rotary summer music concerts in the park, fundraising at the bratwurst wagon, Shelter Box, food bank, Wellness Centre, senior bus trips, exchange student programs, international projects, gala dance, and many more great projects. Ladies, if you are interested in joining Rotary, or just learning more about what we do, you may contact Lorraine, lorraine@ﬂyingsoulo.ca. Please like us on Facebook at Rotary Club of Peachland – it’s a great way to keep up to date on our activities in Peachland.

SENIORS’ ACTIVITIES

50+ Centre membership fees may be increasing soon Linda Norden / Special to the Peachland View Isn’t it always the way! When you want to slow time down it just seems to move all the faster and bam – just like that, the end of summer is closing in on us. It’s sad really, but…fall is just waiting to pounce into action, encouraging us to shed the happy, easy, barefooted manner of summer, and explore the comforting, tasty, crafty side of autumn. Some of our members were all geared up, as well as excited, to show off their craft talents at the fall fair last weekend. So much talent was exhibited, while so much individual time, and money was spent to showcase that talent. Congrats to all who made this fair a big success! Here at the centre the ofﬁce is back to regular hours, which are Monday to Friday, 9:30 to 11:30 a.m,. and the scheduled classes/activities are almost all up and running. Give us a call if you’re unsure or check the programs posted on the building door.

Good news for arthritis patients Though there is no known cure available for arthritis just yet, those afflicted with the debilitating condition can take solace in the news of a recent development. The Arthritis Research Centre of Canada received a sizable financial boost last week, with the provincial government investing $3 million for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the often debilitating chronic condition. According to B.C.’s Health Minister Terry Lake, the impact on the Canadian economy is estimated to be $33 billion each year in health-care costs and lost productivity.

ANSWERS

There is one long-time activity which is not on the schedule right now and that is bingo. Our long-serving volunteer bingo manager, Marie Langlois, took a well-deserved retirement from this position and until we ﬁnd a new bingo manager to press the “go” button, bingo will remain on pause. The activity centre board very much wants to get this back on the slate, as quite frankly it helps pay the bills to run the centre. We also would welcome the idea of a two member team sharing this position. If you have an inkling of interest or curiosity please give the ofﬁce a call 250-767-9133, and we will be happy to give you the lowdown. Training will be provided. Due to the loss of bingo revenue we will be calling a short general meeting after the potluck dinner in October to bring forward a resolution to raise the annual membership fee from $15 to $20. In case you may be wondering, the $15 rate was put into effect in 2007, and now

eight years later a need has arisen to justify an increase. It is said that when a big door like bingo closes, a window, like a new activity for example, opens. That helps keep things fresh at the activity centre. If you have taken notice of the sign at the front of our building, you will have seen that beginners bridge classes are starting up. They began two Mondays ago, and will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 2 to 4 p.m. for ﬁve weeks. The cost for the course is $10, plus at this time of year there is a $10 membership fee required instead of the usual $15. Right now there are 12 people registered, which equates to three tables of newbies to the game. You can still register if you would have liked to be one of those twelve as sometimes people have to drop out, or quotas can be changed. Give us a call and get your name on the list. We have also have new aerobic instructor for the Wednesday 9:30 a.m. class. She began this month.

One of the events the 50+ Centre is renowned for is the potluck dinners. This month we will be setting up for Friday, September 26 at 6 p.m. Most of you know the drill, but for newcomers I will reiterate. Please bring a larger portion of your favourite dish along with your own plates and cutlery and that way everyone gets to relax. Supper will begin at 6 p.m., and giving enough time for socializing and digesting, the entertainment will begin at 7 p.m. This month we are looking forward to featuring the singing group Yesterdaze. Please note that membership is not required to attend. We’ll be watching for you! On a closing note I’d just like to mention that for anyone who is not a member of the centre and has noticed some of the activities we hold that interest you, you’ll be pleased to note that the membership fee from September to the end of December is $10 instead of the usual $15.

Advertising is a key element to any business’ success, but especially for a home-based business. Although other businesses are often located in high-profile areas, home-based businesses are usually located in residential areas with limited traffic. Advertisement is crucial. Peachland View is a community paper able to provide total market coverage in Peachland, a promise no other newspaper can make.

SPORTS & RECREATION

Devils ready to take on Salmon Arm Sept. 21 Jen Scott Special to the Peachland View The West Kelowna Sun Devils arrived at Grahame Park in Vernon on Sunday morning to take on the Vernon Magnums. The game began with both teams equally adamant to take home the win. The Magnums scored their first touchdown early in the game, making the conversion for a score of 7-0. The Sun Devils came back strong, matching their touchdown but unable to make the conversion. The Magnums, who last Sunday were beaten by the Salmon Arm Colts 50-18, pushed back with full force, determined not to lose the win to their West Kelowna adversaries. The Sun Devils achieved one more touchdown in the third quarter, but were unable to stop Vernon from dominating the game with a final score of 48-13. The Sun Devils play the Salmon Arm Colts this Sunday, September 21, at the Shannon Woods field in West Kelowna at 12 p.m. For details on other Southern Interior Football league teams, schedules and scores, visit www. allprosoftware.net/ SIFC_Schedule/default.htm.
