Chamber of commerce looking forward to exciting new digs

The Peachland Chamber of Commerce and the Visitor Information Centre will be in their new offices this month. If you haven’t had the chance at an unofficial tour or to peek your head in to see the fantastic makeover of the historic primary school located on Beach Avenue please take the time to come visit after September page 8 16.

hose and sprinklers paired with cell phone and satellite technology that allows the equipment to be operated completely remotely.

If there is a fire somewhere, the unit can be deployed to the location and then left behind without fire personnel to attend to it. From a cell phone or laptop anywhere in the world the fire department can operate the system, programming it to turn on or off as needed. The WASP in a Box is completely controlled by a battery system interlinked with satellite and cell phone systems so it can be deployed in the field for 10 days without the battery power supply being hooked up to anything.

“If the town is evacuated, the fire department can deploy this system and leave it there for 10 days,” Pyke said.

Last Labour Day Monday — what should have been a relaxing day off — kept Peachland firefighters busy on with two separate fires to extinguish in the area.

The first call came shortly after noon when smoke was reported in pine trees just off of Bulyea Avenue.

Upon arrival Peachland fire crews found a fast moving grass fire up the hill about 50 feet by 75 feet in size.

Peachland fire chief Dennis Craig said the fire was moving up toward a vineyard as well as Miller Road when crews arrived on scene.

Firefighters were able to contain the grassfire fairly quickly, taking just over two hours on scene to contain the fire and mop up hotspots.

Craig says the fire is deemed accidental and not considered suspicious.

“It was caused from a spark out of a wood stove in a shed,” Craig said in an interview with The View.

“We would just like to remind people that if they do have solid fuel burning appliances in their sheds they should ensure they are CSA approved and have spark arresters on any sort of chimney.”

The second fire occurred just after 4 p.m. on

Peachland Fire Department acquires WASP in a Box

Joanne Layh / Peachland View Peachland Fire and Rescue Service acquired a new state of the art piece of equipment last week that could help protect the community from structural damage in the event of a future fire.

The equipment, known as a Wildfire Automated Suppression and Protection (WASP) system, or WASP in a Box, was delivered to an enthusiastic Peachland Fire Department last Wednesday.

“This system is really state of the art firefighting for structural protection and Peachland is the first place on the planet to have this kind of technology incorporated with structural fire protection for wildfires,” WASP inventor and Peachland resident Darrel Pyke said in an interview with The View.

The system includes a trailer that works with a basic

Mayor to be arrested and jailed Mayor Keith Fielding will be arrested Friday morning as 21 bicycle riders and 6 support people pass through Peachland during this year’s annual Cops for Kids ride.

The 2013 Ride, presented by The Thomas Alan Budd Foundation, will take the team across the southeastern corner of British Columbia to raise awareness and essential funds for children in medical, physical or traumatic crisis.

In support of the cause, Mayor Fielding will be thrown in “jail” until enough donations are made to earn his release.

“It’s a worthy cause and it has become something of a tradition for mayors in the Okanagan to take part in it,” Mayor Fielding told The View. “There is some kind of a

competitive element they’re trying to build as well to encourage one community to try and get enthusiastic responses from their neighbouring communities. I think most in the Okanagan have been caught up in that to some extent and interested to participate and support the cause.”

Over the ten-day journey, Cops for Kids riders from the RCMP and supporting enforcement agencies will cycle into 18 different communities across British Columbia.

Residents interested in making a donation can do so at the community centre, the district office, or if they prefer, through participating service clubs.

To follow the team along the ride, visit www.copsforkids.org.

Impaired driver knocks out park bench, hits multiple parked cars

JOANNE LAYH

A PARK BENCH AND PAD had to be removed from near the intersection of Beach Avenue and 13th Street Wednesday morning after being damaged by an impaired driver Tuesday night. Here district employee George Cain prepares to remove the bench from its Centennial Walkway location.

Joanne Layh / Peachland View The intersection of 13th Street and Beach Avenue took a bit of a beating Tuesday night after a vehicle driven by a 54-yearold Peachland man collided with multiple parked cars, light posts and a park bench.

The incident happened near the intersection of Beach Avenue and 13th Street at approximately 8 p.m. on Tuesday, September 3.

West Kelowna RCMP received several reports from witnesses who saw a vehicle collide with light posts and parked vehicles

and the man was kept on scene by witnesses until police could attend, Cst. Kris Clark told The View.

Sources say six cars were hit in total and judging by the damages, the driver was likely travelling at a high speed.

West Kelowna RCMP Cpl. Steven Woodcox says the suspect driver was detained for an impaired driver investigation and later provided breath samples over three times the legal limit.

The Peachland man is scheduled to appear in court in December to face several criminal charges including impaired driving.

WASP system will sting wildfires remotely Continued from page 1

The system has timing programs that allow the sprinklers to be turned on and off as needed to preserve water. The WASP system can be hooked up to a standard water supply, such as a fire hydrant, but if there isn’t one available it can also be used with a water pump that drafts water out of another source such as a swimming pool, creek or pond.

“The main advantage is we don’t have to tie up our firefighters to sit there and maintain the sprinkler system,” Peachland fire chief Dennis Craig told The View. “We can go in, set it up and walk away. We can turn it on remotely so we don’t have to turn it on hours before the fire shows up. We can wait until the fire is just about there and then turn it on at our leisure and not have to send somebody to go back in and turn it on and waste water.”

Currently the unit has 1,500 feet of line as well as some sprinkler heads.

“It’s bigger than being just a sprinkler protection unit. We have future plans to make it a true structural protection trailer where we’re going to add a portable pump inside and a 1,500 gallon bladder for water so when we go to fight a wild land fire

we can take this trailer and not tie up one of our pieces of apparatus. It will have extra forestry hose, extra nozzles, all of our forestry equipment in there, so we can take the trailer and dump it off in an area and not tie up a truck,” Craig said.

Peachland isn’t the only community interested in the locally designed equipment. Pyke says there is a lot of interest in the WASP system from various places around the world.

“We have people in Greece right at the moment who are very keenly interested in our systems for protecting some of their heritage sights like the Parthenon and things like that because it gives them the control to be able to look after an area and not have to have any personnel there so they can start and stop those systems anytime they want from any location,” Pyke said.

Last year provincial and municipal firefighting crews from around the province came to Peachland to see a demonstration of the full sized WASP unit, a technology invented in Peachland and manufactured in West Kelowna by Wasp Manufacturing Ltd. The Peachland inventor got the idea for the unit during his 17-year career working as a firefighter and logger. The company

Monday in a similar location to a fire that took place earlier this year.

The fire was located just outside Peachland’s fire protection area in the trees above Antlers Beach off of Log Chute Drive.

Peachland dispatched their squad and tender, requested forestry assistance and maintained the fire until forestry crews arrived on scene to extinguish the fire.

“We just maintained it until forestry arrived and then we turned it over to forestry,” Craig said.

The fire did not grow past 50 feet by 50 feet in size and Peachland crews left the scene after about an hour.

However, while the fire remained small in size, Craig says it had potential.

“People need to be careful still even though the campfire ban has been lifted.

It is still dry in the lower areas so all the same rules still apply. Make sure you have water supply to put your campfire out and make sure it’s cold when you leave,” Craig said.

The investigation into the second fire is being handled by the Ministry of Land and Natural Resources.

introduced the equipment in Alberta four years ago under a contract with the Alberta government and since then, it has been used with success in fires outside of Grande Prairie.

The company took a hiatus for a couple of years to do some more research and development into the system, which resulted in the improved model that was presented last year and the WASP in a Box system

that was recently acquired by Peachland.

The full-sized WASP unit performs a similar function to the one purchased by the Peachland Fire Department, but it has a water storage tank and a diesel generator while the smaller WASP in a Box uses a bladder and runs from a battery.

The $24,700 2013 capital expenditure was approved by Peachland council earlier this year.

The District of Peachland invites YOU to attend a Zoning Bylaw Review Open House.

Last updated in 1996, the current Zoning Bylaw has been amended a number of times, however, a comprehensive review and update is now necessary.

A zoning bylaw regulates permitted uses; densities; the siting, size and dimensions of buildings; and the creation of new lots. It deals with items such as bed and breakfasts, secondary suites, garden suites, the form of hillside development, and parking requirements.

This Zoning Bylaw update will enable the District to address known land use issues and challenges experienced in Peachland, while also seeking to ensure that growth and development is consistent with the vision set out in the Official Community Plan. Community Planners from the District and Urban Systems will be available throughout the Open House to answer questions and queries related to the Zoning Bylaw review. This event is an opportunity to provide your feedback about the proposed changes to the District’s Zoning Bylaw as well as the specific issues identified by Council.

We look forward to discussing the Zoning Bylaw review project with YOU! Any further questions? Please contact Heidi Simkins, Planning Administrator at 250-767-2647, hsimkins@peachland.ca

The proposed Zoning Amendment Bylaws No. 2050, 2013 may be inspected at the Municipal Office, 5806 Beach Avenue, Peachland, B.C. during normal business hours (8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) Monday to Friday inclusive, excluding Statutory Holidays, from August 20, 2013 to September 10, 2013.

Take notice that the above describes the general intent of the proposed Zoning Amendment Bylaw which has been read a First and Second Time by the Council of the Corporation of the District of Peachland.

Opinion

Conspiracies fuel climate change denial and belief in chemtrails David Suzuki I recently wrote about geoengineering as a strategy to deal with climate change and carbon dioxide emissions. That drew comments from people who confuse this scientific process with the unscientific theory of “chemtrails”. Some also claimed the column supported geoengineering, which it didn’t.

The reaction got me wondering why some people believe in phenomena rejected by science, like chemtrails, but deny real problems demonstrated by massive amounts of scientific evidence, like climate change.

Chemtrails believers claim governments around the world are in cahoots with secret organizations to seed the atmosphere with chemicals and materials – aluminum salts, barium crystals, biological agents, polymer fibres, etc. – for a range of nefarious purposes. These include controlling weather for military purposes, poisoning people for population or mind control and supporting secret weapons programs based on the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, or HAARP. Scientists have tested and used cloud and atmospheric seeding for weather modification and considered them as ways to slow global warming. But the chemtrails conspiracy theory is much broader, positing that military and commercial airlines are involved in constant massive daily spraying that is harming the physical and mental health of citizens worldwide.

I don’t have space to get into the absurdities of belief in a plot that would require worldwide collusion between governments, scientists and airline company executives and pilots to amass and spray unimaginable amounts of chemicals from altitudes of 10,000 metres or more. I’m a scientist, so I look at credible science – and there is none for the existence of chemtrails. They’re condensation trails, formed when hot, humid air from jet exhaust mixes with colder low-vapour-pressure air.

This, of course, comes with its own environmental problems.

But what interests me is the connection between climate change denial and belief in chemtrails. Why do so many people accept a theory for which there is no scientific evidence while rejecting a serious and potentially catastrophic phenomenon that can be easily observed and for which overwhelming evidence has been building for decades?

Many deniers see climate change as a massive plot or hoax perpetrated by the world’s scientists and scientific institutions, governments, the UN, environmentalists and sinister forces to create a socialist world government or something. Some accept climate change is occurring but deny humans are responsible. Still, it doesn’t seem rational to deny something so undeniable!

In a Bloomberg article, author and Harvard Law School professor Cass R. Sunstein explains why it’s easier for people to believe in chemtrails: People look to readily available examples when assessing danger, focus “on risks or hazards that have an identifiable perpetrator”, and pay more attention to immediate threats than long-term ones.

People who subscribe to unbelievable conspiracy theories may feel helpless, so they see themselves as victims of powerful forces – or as heroes standing up to those forces. Whether it’s to deny real problems or promulgate imaginary ones, it helps reinforce a worldview that is distrustful of governments, media, scientists and shadowy cabals variously referred to as banksters, global elites, the Illuminati or the New World Order.

The problem is that science denial is, in the case of chemtrails, a wacky distraction and, in the case of climate change denial, a barrier to addressing an urgent, critical problem. We don’t have time for debunked conspiracy theories.

Peachland Views Underfunding First Nations education a costly mistake While the Conservatives have spent the summer talking about their forthcoming First Nations Education Act, they continue to ignore the elephant in the room: the federal government dramatically underfunds First Nations students’ education.

For a country like Canada, it’s shocking that only a third of high school students on reserve graduate each year.

And while the reasons are complex, one stands out: the federal government, which is solely responsible for financing First Nations education, only funds First Nations students twothirds of the average funding per student that the provinces provide to other schools.

This financing gap contributes to lower test scores, stunning drop-out rates and a failure to equip students with the tools they need to compete and succeed in the modern workforce.

It’s a big problem, especially since more than a quarter of the aboriginal people in Canada are under 14.

This is a huge loss for our economy. Canada is coping with a lack of highly skilled people in the workforce, a problem which

Students encouraged to give strong consideration to trades MP Dan Albas / Commentary The September long weekend has often been thought of as the end of summer given that students will be returning to classes in the days following the holiday Monday. For students entering post-secondary education it can be a

very exciting time but also an expensive one.

Although post-secondary education falls primarily within provincial jurisdiction, our government offers some tax relief that parents and students should be aware of. For example, students can claim tuition fees that are paid to a col-

is projected to worsen. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce and other business leaders say higher investments in aboriginal education are needed to employ this generation. One study found that by increasing aboriginal education rates to the same level as non-aboriginal Canadians could add $160 billion to the economy over the next seven years alone.

Sadly, nothing is being done, government spin notwithstanding. Despite the Conservatives being in power for almost 8 years, the Auditor General found the government cannot demonstrate any progress in closing the First Nations education gap. Their record of neglect is shameful. And they continue to deny there is even a problem.

Giving all children a high-quality, relevant education and an equal opportunity to succeed is a core Canadian value. It is the right thing to do, and it’s also good for economic growth.

It’s high time we closed the gap.

Post-secondary students urged to take advantage of government assistance Continued from page 4

claimed.

In meeting with a very well regarded local manufacturer in West Kelowna last week the challenge of finding skilled workers was identified in spite of offering very well paying local positions. In fact, with close to a dozen different tours of local manufacturers over the past few months I have yet to encounter one that has not reported similar challenges in finding skilled workers. I would urge many students entering into post-secondary education to give strong consideration to trades-oriented training opportunities.

Another tax relief program that post-secondary students may take advantage of is the ability to claim an education amount of $400 for each entire or part month in the year that they are enrolled in a full-time qualifying

educational program, or $120 per month for part-time enrolment in a specified educational program, at a designated educational institution.

One program that may be of benefit to some students is the ability to claim a textbook amount of $65 for each month where they qualify for the full-time education amount or $20 for each part-time month. In all of these programs it’s very important to keep your receipts, as they must be used to apply for the various tax rebates. Last year roughly $11 billion was claimed by students and families in tax relief to help absorb the costs of postsecondary education. Although this is a very significant amount of financial assistance, there still yet may be qualifying students and families that are unaware that this and other tax relief is available. The importance of investing in your future with a quality education

is one that can never be emphasized enough. I hope all students have a productive and enjoyable school year.

Much as investments in education are important, so too are investments into infrastructure. As part of my summer listening tour I had the opportunity to participate in many ribbon-cutting events celebrating the completion of various much needed infrastructure work.

Recently I was asked by a senior resident to put our government’s commitment to infrastructure funding into perspective. By the numbers since 2006, our government has contributed towards the creation to over 43,000 projects Canada wide. The new building Canada plan also includes $70 billion in federal infrastructure funding over the next 10 years.

In the next two years alone over $10 billion will be invested into infrastructure. To put this

number into context from a historical perspective this $10 billion over the next two years is more than the previous Liberal government invested into infrastructure during the entire 13 years they were in power. I mention this last point not to be partisan but to provide a context on the commitment of our government to invest in community infrastructure compared to what was done previously.

We should recognize that that virtually every aspect of infrastructure planning, development, engineering, building and often maintenance is performed by individuals with some level of post-secondary training and/or education. As we enter September and our children return to the classrooms let us all recognize the importance of education in the future of our great country.

The internet and related technologies have been a game-changer for people of all ages. The instant connectivity made possible by these advancements has been valued by young adults and children for years. But now social media is attracting an entirely different demographic—seniors.

More than just a method of channeling information to the comfort of home, the internet and the various social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, are ways for older adults to stay connected with friends and family. For seniors faced with mobility issues, social media helps to bring the world to them.

Individuals who are not yet utilizing social media to manage their communication efforts may be inspired by these benefits to doing so.

• Photo and video sharing: The majority of

photos being taken today are digital, as fewer people are making prints of their photos. Rather, they are being shared via email or through social media sites.

Grandparents can see their grandchildren in photos almost immediately. Also, if they’ve managed apps that enable video sharing, they can view and chat with relatives who live miles away, just as if they were sitting across the table.

• Conversations with family: In a world where families are no longer centrally located, communication may be lacking.

Despite the prevalence of mobile phones, fewer and fewer people seem to pick up the phone and make calls as they once did. Instead, they’re texting and updating social media posts. They’re also emailing one another.

Older adults who have no access to this technology could be left out of the mix.

This is a way for seniors to stay close to family.

• Convenient check-ins: At times when a full-blown conversation may not be practical, having a quick method to check in with a loved one can make social media advantageous.

Men and women can send a quick text to their parents to find out how they’re feeling or if they need anything.

Such ready access can provide some peace of mind to adults concerned about their elderly parents.

• Online shopping: Seniors who don’t get out much or who cannot safely drive a vehicle might not be able to shop as often as they would like. Having internet access and experience with browsing websites enables older men and women to shop from reputable websites who ship items directly to the house. With the vast array of items now sold online, anyone can have their choice of items and not be forced to settle because of their age.

• Improved feelings of

well-being: Avoiding feelings of isolation and loneliness can benefit older men and women. A study by Dr. Shelia Cotten, a sociologist and associate professor from the University of Alabama, Birmingham, revealed that internet use was associated with a 30 per cent decrease in depressive symptoms among older adults who used it regularly, while other studies have shown similarly impressive results.

• Working the mind: Going online, chatting on social media or simply writing an email works areas of the brain. Typing also helps improve manual dexterity.

These factors can be beneficial for seniors looking to stay sharp.

Using the internet as a form of communication is a growing trend among the 50-plus demographic. It enables them to stay connected with family and the world in a variety of ways.

YOUTH NEWS

Fall programs to start up soon at new Peachland Youth Centre Patricia Barrows Special to the Peachland View September can be such an exciting time for youth: the start of a new school year, reconnecting with teachers and friends, sharing stories of all the fun experiences from over the summer, and this September, the opening of the brand new Peachland Youth Centre!

It has been so exciting to see the development of the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club in Peachland over the past few years. We started out as a small mobile youth program, then through support from many community members and businesses we were able to offer youth programs at various community locations as well as an after school program and preschool in Peachland Elementary School.

We are thrilled to be growing again and are anxiously awaiting completion of the new youth centre at the Peachland Historic Primary School building. We are looking forward to continuing to offer drop in and recreation programs for the youth of Peachland in a permanent place that they can truly call their own.

The youth centre is a great space dedicated specifically for youth programs. It is a place for creative youth to participate in art activities, a place for energetic youth to participate in physical activities, or just a place where youth can hang out with their friends in a relaxed, comfortable environment rain or shine.

We even have our very own kitchen where youth can develop life skills, learning how to cook simple meals. Once our building is open, Youth Drop In will run Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 3:30 p.m. – 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 3 p.m. - 9 p.m. Activities include free afternoon snacks and dinner nights, pool and ping pong tables, a play station, computers with internet access, movies, music, cards and board games.

Tween Drop In will run on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 2:30 p.m. - 5 p.m.

Children in Grades 5 and 6 can meet staff by the bike racks at Peachland Elementary School and walk to the club to hang out. On Wednesdays from 5 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. tweens will get to learn and practice life skills by cooking and eating dinner together as well as participating in a variety of activities at the club.

In addition to programs for youth, the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club operates a preschool and after school program at Peachland Elementary School. With the opening of the Peachland club we will be able to expand the after school program and offer additional spaces for families.

In the near future we will be part of the grand opening of the building, opening our doors for tours, offering fun activities for children and youth, and providing information on all of our programs.

All of this growth brings with it the opportu-

BUSINESS NEWS

Valuing your local chamber Gail Scott / Special to the Peachland View As summer gives way to fall, I wanted to take the opportunity to bring you up to date on the excitement that is happening within the chamber environment.

New location to open this month

It’s official, the Peachland Chamber of Commerce and the Visitor Information Centre will be in their new offices this month. If you haven’t had the chance at an unofficial tour or to peek your head in to see the fantastic makeover of the historic primary school located on Beach Avenue please take the time to come visit after September 16.

This renewed building makes Peachland proud, not to mention the chamber and visitor centre staff ecstatically happy.

A special note of recognition and appreciation goes out to board, staff, members, local businesses, volunteers, community organizations, and the district for realizing their dream.

Quarterly meeting

The chamber’s quarterly meeting will be held on Monday, September 30 at 6 p.m. in the new offices. You have probably heard the old adage “the only thing constant in life is change itself,” well, along with the change of venue comes the change of menu at a cost savings – we’ll be offering a tapas night rather than the formal sit down dinner.

We believe this new format will encourage more interest and allow for more networking and discussion. Please mark your calendars and plan to attend.

National chamber AGM

From September 27 - October 2, the National Canadian Chamber of Commerce annual general meeting and conference will take place in our own regional backyard. Kelowna will be the headquarters for this major business-to-business event that will attract more than 400 delegates from all over Canada. Our local and regional chambers are collaborating on producing a key marketing information package that will show these delegates what our valley has to offer and see the return of many of these folks year after year.

Membership drive

September is also that time of year when the Peachland Chamber of Commerce starts preparing for the launch of its annual membership drive. This year

we are committed to exploring potential new models for the delivery of chamber services that may or may not include a tiered membership system to better meet the needs of our local businesses and notfor-profit associations. We as a board have asked ourselves if our members are getting the most from their memberships; and what do our connections do for our members? The bottom line is that we can and want to do better.

The concept behind tiered levels of membership is to feature intelligent bundling of chamber benefits that allow you to tailor your chamber membership to meet your unique business needs. Tiered membership allows you to select your level of investment in the chamber and See CHAMBER on page 11

DISPATCHES FROM THE FARM

Local veggie grower vows to cream competition at fall fair showdown Jordan Marr / Special to the Peachland View A year ago, on a lark, I entered a strawberry-rhubarb custard pie, my Grandma Stella’s recipe, in one of the baking categories at Peachland’s Fall Fair. Not just any category, mind you. Connoisseurs of these rural festivals will know that select ones are sponsored; this pie category was brought to you by Tenderflake, which meant that, in addition to the blue ribbon, three bucks, and five points awarded to winners in every category, there would be an additional mystery prize up for grabs.

My imagination soared as I wondered what it could be. A block of lard coated in gold? A bejewelled tiara? There were strings attached, though. I had to include a proof of purchase of Tenderflake with my entry. Whatever it takes, I thought. I wanted that prize.

I won the category, and the attendant three bucks, five points, and envy of all around me.

And, of course, the mystery prize, all of which would be doled out at the Sunday awards ceremony. Only, there would be no ceremony. On Sunday afternoon, a fire started in the forest up Trepanier Road, and within hours half the town was evacuated.

Two weeks later I received a call informing me that my winnings were being held at the pharmacy on Beach Avenue, where one of the fair’s volunteers worked. I raced right down.

It was an apron. It was made of the kind of plastic you put under a bedwetter’s sheets. It was yellow with blue lettering. It said “Tenderflake,” though they might as well have written “Sucker.” Oh well, I thought. That’s just part of the gamble you make as a Fall Fair Mercenary. I was about to head home when I struck up a conversation with Lorraine, the volunteer. She asked me why I hadn’t entered some of my veggies in the fair. I offered that it didn’t seem right given that I’m a commercial grower, though I might have added that there were no sponsored categories on the veggie side. “I wish you would,” she told me.

“The fair hasn’t been won by a Peachlander in years.”

She went on to explain that for the last few

years, the aggregate title, which is awarded to the top points-earner each year, have gone to one Barb Heaney, a Westbanker. It seemed to pain Lorraine greatly to tell me that. Reportedly, Barb has taken to calling our town “Teachland” because she’s been schooling its residents for so long on how to bake, craft, and grow things.

Suddenly, some disparate observations I had made since moving to Peachland, hitherto unexplained, coalesced into an epiphany for me.

The heavy-hearted way all the locals seemed to shuffle about town; their weird habit of spitting on the ground every time I tried to sell them some rhubarb, or invite them to a barbecue, or buy some barbed wire; their peculiar custom of driving to Merritt, then Kamloops, then Vernon to get to Kelowna. Peachlanders had been living with a shame that won’t be lifted until someone brings the aggregate back home where it belongs.

Something happened to me then. My desire for fall fair spoils faded away, replaced by a resolve to correct the slight that has robbed our fine town of its collective dignity. I made a promise that day: that I would do everything I could to win the aggregate in 2013.

And so, here we are, days away from the big showdown. My best veggies have been flagged; the baking powder bin is full; I scrimped and saved for a new bikini for the swimsuit competition. Outsiders like Barb Heaney will find their task just a bit more difficult this year, because I’ll be adding a special ingredient to my baking that they don’t have access to: my PP. Peachland Pride, that is. I’ve been told Barb may have retired from competition. It doesn’t matter. There will be other challengers, and I’ll meet them all with flaky pastry, gargantuan beets, and adorable photos of kittens. Get ready, folks. Things may get ugly in the Peach this weekend, but remember: the night is darkest just before dawn. See you at the fair.

Upcoming workshop to help raise awareness of elder abuse Barb Oleschuk Special to the Peachland View According to the United Nations, the global population of people 60 years of age and older will more than double between 1992 and 2025. Consequently, the number of people suffering from age-related conditions will also increase dramatically. Elder abuse is an issue the world has been slow to recognize, but which fortunately is now receiving more attention thanks to the United Nations and federal and provincial governments.

So what is elder abuse? According to the federal Ministry of State for Seniors, elder abuse is “any action by someone in a relationship of trust that results in harm or distress to an older person.” Also, one in five Canadians believe they know a senior who might be experiencing some form of abuse.

Examples of abuse may include intimidation, humiliation, physical assault, sexual assault, misuse of personal funds, censoring

of mail, invasion or denial of privacy and denial of access to visitors. Surprisingly, in 32 per cent of reported elder abuse cases, the offender is a family member, such as an adult grandchild or a current or former spouse.

Recently, as a representative and board member of the Peachland Wellness Centre (PWC), I had the opportunity to attend a two-day workshop, titled Taking Action Against Abuse of Older Adults, which was sponsored by the Metro Vancouver YWCA. Project funding for the workshop was provided by the Government of Canada New Horizons for Seniors Program. The project aims to train front line staff and volunteers to use best practices to identify potential abuse, neglect and self-neglect of older adults.

The PWC will hold a workshop in the fall for our staff, volunteers and possibly other community volunteers, in an effort to raise the awareness of elder abuse. Workshop participants will have an opportunity to learn more about identifying abuse and barriers

to reporting abuse; responding to potential abuse of older adults; and learn more about community resources for elder abuse.

The workshop will not teach staff and volunteers how to intervene in complex abuse situations, do assessments, or write incident reports. British Columbia designates Interior Health and Community Living BC as designated agencies that have the responsibility to look into a situation of abuse.

Workshop participants will learn how to identify elder abuse and report it.

For more information on elder abuse as well as assistance, visit the BC Centre for Elder Advocacy and Support at www. bcceas.ca or call its Seniors Abuse and Information Line (SAIL) toll-free at 1-866437-1940.

In other news, the computer literacy will resume at the PWC on September 10 at 10 a.m. Call ahead for an appointment for free lessons.

The Jerry Dober Sunday Breakfast will

resume on September 8 after a break during August. This weekly fundraiser began in 2003. Jerry wanted to give back to the community that had helped him and wanted to share his gift of cooking. Volunteers supported his idea. Jerry passed away, but his legacy exists and the Jerry Dober Sunday Breakfast has become an institution for many. Each Sunday at least seven people rally to prepare a traditional breakfast, mobilized by volunteer facilitator Linda Tyreman.

On August 25 many of the current and past Sunday Breakfast volunteers were given a special breakfast party and a visit by Jerry’s daughter, Sabrina, along with three of his grandchildren. Stories of Jerry were shared amid tears and laughter. It was a heart-warming morning for everyone.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Aries, no matter how hard you work, you just cannot seem to get ahead this week. Instead of tiring yourself unnecessarily, take a break and regroup.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

Taurus, although you have many questions, the answers will not come so easily to you in the next few days. Bide your time for a revelation.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

It will be really difficult to put you in a bad mood this week, Gemini. Your energy and cheer will be a bright light to those around you, so enjoy the next few days.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

SUDOKU

Exercise can do more than just keep you physically fit, Leo. It also can help boost your mood when you need a pick-me-up, which could be the case in the near future.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, each time you think the grass will be greener somewhere else, you quickly learn it is not the case. Learn to appreciate what you have, and you will be glad for having done so.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

Libra, generosity will endear you to others, but you have to be generous for the right reasons. It’s not a good idea to build friendships on false pretenses.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Scorpio, avoid taking on any more projects for the time being.

Although you excel in tackling things, even the best of us need a rest from time to time.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

Sagittarius, you will have to buckle down and get some things done at work, even if you are a little under the weather. Take things nice and easy once your work is done.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

Capricorn, devoting time to a spouse or children is of the utmost importance this week, while other matters will have to wait. Enjoy this opportunity to spend time with your loved ones.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Level: Intermediate

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!

Aquarius, a hectic schedule is compromising your ability to stay focused on the tasks at hand. You may need some help sorting some things out.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

There are enough diversions around to take your mind off of your problems, Pisces. They may not disappear, but you can address some issues later.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

Learning the art of hospitality

Elaine Diggle Peachland United Church Special to the Peachland View Most of us enjoy sitting down to a good meal with others. Jesus enjoyed a good dinner party. In the Bible, Matthew, a former tax collector, invited a variety of guests for dinner, including tax collectors, sinners and Jesus. Jesus socialized with known sinners and is also recorded to have dined with several different Pharisees, who were regarded as religious zealots.

Jesus also ate with his friends Mary, Martha and Lazarus at their home in Bethany while teaching many disciples. Indeed, there were so many extra guests that day that Martha complained about not having enough help in the kitchen. I am sure many of you will have empathized with Martha from time to time.

Jesus also went to weddings, even providing the host with a huge quantity of top quality wine at Cana when his mother asked him to help out. Now that is the kind of guest we all appreciate!

Jesus’ enemies would even slander him for his socializing (Luke 15:2), characterizing him as a glutton and a drunk (Matt.

11:19; Luke 7:34). In today’s parlance, they said that Jesus was a party animal and he had the biggest country picnics (5,000 men plus women and children!).

That must have been some do.

Now in Jesus’ day hospitality was very important. It was the cement of society.

You knew your standing, your extended family’s standing, and where you belonged according to the homes you were invited to.

Jesus was really turning the rules of polite hospital-

ity on their heads when he gave his host and fellow guests some really pithy advice on how to behave (Luke 14:7-14). His fellow guests were advised not to try to push themselves forward and claim the best or most privileged seat at the table, but to wait until their host seated them where he felt their status warranted.

No doubt it would be highly embarrassing to be asked to move to a lower ranked seat in order to make room for someone more important.

Humility was the required characteristic of a good guest.

Jesus lectured his host about his guest list, insisting that he should really invite “the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind” – namely, people who would be unable to repay him. He seemed to be saying “Don’t invite those who you want a favour from or who you owe a favour to, but offer

true hospitality.”

Jesus encouraged his host to welcome the stranger, the friendless, the marginalised.

Jesus turned conventional standards and practices upside down. He deeply understood what it means to be a blessing and what it means to love the strangers in our lives, not from afar, but sitting right down next to them.

One of the great joys of my early years in Canada occurred when I was living in the English Bay area of Vancouver where I shared a one-bedroom apartment with an English nurse.

Many of our neighbours in the apartment block were displaced persons like us.

We decided to invite as many neighbours as we could fit into the apartment for a Christmas Eve party.

Collectively we included Dutch, French, English, German, Austrian, Swedish, Hongkong Chinese, Aussies, a Kiwi, Italian and Canadian nationals. The party was a success and several people slept over so we could sit around in the morning and open our Christmas presents together like any other family. My roommate and I bought small fun presents for everyone who planned to stay over and close neighbours who joined us for breakfast.

No one was to be left out.

On reflection, this, I think, approached what Jesus was teaching us to do.

May we never lose our joy in creating spaces and occasions for others to be themselves, open out to each other and share true fellowship.
