Toast to fallen Comrades
Bat lover pens new book /2
Pumpkin catapult/7
New artist collective holds first exhibit/11
A SMALL TABLE has been set for one at the entrance of the Peachland Legion in honour of fallen comrades in arms. The table is round to show everlasting concern for fallen comrades; a white tablecloth symbolizes the purity of their motives in taking up the call to duty; a single red rose in a vase is a reminder of each individual fallen comrade, as well as the loved ones who keep the faith; a red ribbon around the vase symbolizes the determination to continue remembering; a slice of lemon on the bread plate symbolizes the bitter fate of comrades who never return; a pinch of salt symbolizes the tears shed by family members; the Holy Book represents strength gained by faith to sustain the loss of life; the glass is inverted because the comrades cannot toast; and the chair is empty because they are no longer with us.
PEACHLAND’S REMEMBRANCE DAY Service takes place on Nov. 11 at 10:30 a.m. at the Community Centre. A reception at the Legion will immediately follow the
ceremony.
As the sun rises and sets, we will remember.
Our office is closed for Remembrance Day Saturday, November 11th. We are open Monday Nov 13th.

FOURTH BATTY BOOK – It was the first snowfall of the season when local author Darlene Hartford’s new book Where Do Bats Go for Christmas? came hot off the press. DAN WALTON EDITOR

I
t’s time to find out what bats are doing while the rest of us celebrate Christmas. Bat lover and local author Darlene Hartford has penned her fourth children’s book, titled Where Do Bats Go for Christmas? Hartford originally wanted the publication to be produced entirely in Canada – but she managed to make it way more local than that. The artist who illustrated her ideas was Sarah Parsons, who connected with Hartford
through the bi-weekly Peachland Artisan Indoor Markets. “The first time I saw her works, right away she and I knew to do a project together. It just fit with what I liked to write about and what she liked to draw,” Hartford said. Her illustrations were perfect, and she lives in West Kelowna.” The printing company was Kettle Valley Graphics and the publisher was Jill Veitch – both from Kelowna. So as it turned out, every element of Where Do Bats Go for Christmas? was able to be sourced in the Okanagan. “It was very exciting to see it all together in one package
– the artist component, storyline, publisher laying it out and piecing it together.” Compared to her other children’s books, she said Where Do Bats Go for Christmas? was made for younger readers, newborn to five years old. “It’s for young readers to just pick up and read on their own.” And it’s been dedicated to Hartford’s eighth grandchild, Anna Winkler. To meet the author and pick up an autographed copy, be part of the book launch this Sunday, Nov. 12 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Visitor Centre. Hartford’s young grandchildren will be there too – including Anna.

Okanagan ATV gets big promo
SIP’N’PAINT RETURNS – Where were you on October 30th? Perhaps you were one of the forty
Peachlanders who were enjoying a workshop of painting tile. Before the ‘artists’ began painting, they were treated to a creative assortment of appetizers presented at the First and Beach Grill. The owner, Katie, showed her artistic skill in the culinary arts of preparation and presentation of food. Later, with a glass of wine, the fledgeling artists began to prepare for their evening of creativity. Under the direction of artist Michelle McCullough, who was assisted by members of the Peachland Art Council, the experiment was in full swing. It was a great evening for all ages, as there were some youngsters who attended. It was a unique experience to watch the dabs of paint meander over the tile. Sometimes, they wandered where they were expected and other times, they seemed to have a mind of their own. That was the fun part of this medium.

S
erving in the Canadian Armed Forces took a heavy toll on the mind and body of Peachland veteran Bettina Fuchs. “I’ll be fighting Post Traumatic Stress Disorder for the rest of my life. It doesn’t go away,” said the Master Corporal. Fuchs was in the army for 24 years. Her service required her to train in numerous bases across the country and serve three tours in countries that were on the brink of destabilization — Kuwait, Cambodia and Bosnia. Her duty with the Canadian military was to fulfill peacekeeping roles, and it made her a witness to the aftermath of sordid violence in countries dealing with unimaginable poverty where some human lives have no value. She was first diagnosed with PTSD in 2006 but suspects the onslaught came many years earlier. “When you’re in a big group of military people; living and working together every day, supporting each other – you don’t notice it so much because you’re all the same. You think how you are is the norm so it’s okay. But when you finally get plucked out of that and all of a sudden you’re by yourself and you don’t have that support anymore, that’s when things
start to fall apart.” The final tour that Fuchs’ completed was in Bosnian in 2003. And she feels as though the endemic of PTSD among members of the military only began getting due attention during the War in Afghanistan which began in 2001. “I remember returning from Cambodia. We all came in on the bus. There was the base commander, all smiles. They say here’s a month-long leave pass, see you in a few weeks. We all just left. Went on our merry way and did whatever. There was no checking in on us.” The intensity of military action didn’t sink in until after she was home. “You don’t actually think about what you’re doing until after it’s over. You go in and do what you’re trained to do.” Today, the army gives much more care and attention to emotional vulnerability of its soldiers, but Fuchs says the medical world still has a long way to go in treating those with PTSD and mitigation for the professionals most likely to develop it. Debriefings are important, and “Guys need to educate themselves more; figure out better coping skills.” When Fuchs first enlisted in 1985, she was looking for a career that would help her gain independence. She was recently divorced, private sector jobs were
scarce in the midst of a recession, and she wanted a career that offered opportunities to advance. “I figured the military would be a good option for me and it was.” Despite the injuries endured, Fuchs is glad to have offered her service. “I believe everything happens for a reason. We all chose to go there for a reason. We made differences in some peoples lives over there.” It was disappointing, however, when Fuchs learned that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein would live to fight another day after the Gulf War, given that nearly a million Western troops had been mobilized. “It was a big why question? What happened? Why did they stop? And we still don’t know.” But she no longer gives much of her attention to the contentious issues unfolding around the world. “If you dwell on it too much, it affects you — plus having PTSD too makes you paranoid. I watched Good Morning America last week and I couldn’t believe the news they were talking about. So I limit my access to the nitty gritty of what’s going on — my head’s already full.” Fuchs hoped to continue her career after leaving the military and enrolled in a floristry program, but arthritis developed in the military and
BATTALION BUDDIES – Bettina Fuchs (centre) photographed alongside her comrades in Cambodia injuries to her back and limbs made her unable to work as a florist. She also tried driving a school bus, but rowdy kids and PTSD don’t bode. Nonetheless Fuchs said she’s equipped with a psychological toolbox to look after herself. “Day by day I do the best I can. And I try to help others too, which helps me.”
And attending the 2017 Invictus Games in Toronto, a sporting tournament for wounded veterans, was a very therapeutic experience for Fuchs. For this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony on Saturday, Fuchs will be in Victoria laying a wreath on behalf of war brides at the Parliament Buildings.

The Peachland Scarecrow Festival Committee would like to extend many thanks to all the local businesses, organizations and residents who took part in our 2nd Annual Peachland Scarecrow Festival! We were so pleased to see such a wonderful collection of scarecrows throughout the town and the community. Peachlanders are definitely a creative bunch! We have also received great feedback and are looking at implementing some changes to next year’s event to make it even bigger and better. At this time, we are looking for volunteers who would be interested in assisting the committee with future scarecrow festival duties and
tasks, including one or more handymen who would be willing to help with frame constructions and heavy lifting of our prototype around to different venues during the summer. We would also love to hear from some creative folks, who would be interested in brainstorming fresh and fun ideas for expanding the 2018 festival. Planning will commence almost immediately, while implementation will not be necessary until next April. Let’s get together, have some fun and make this the best Scarecrow Festival yet! Please send volunteer offers or inquiries directly to Doris Muhs at dorismuhs@gmail.com. Doris Muhs Peachland
Dear editor: I’d like to congratulate the 50+ Friday Art Group, now renamed “Passion 4 Art” for the success of their first art show. The set-up was unique for this small space, the music was audible and a nice background to the event. There were 16 artists included in the show, and a great variety of very good work. Barry Yeats’ portraits are stunning, and his use of coloured pencils is special. There were too many
Mayor likes children more than the view Dear editor: You can take away the quality of our drinking water for months. You can ruin our beaches due to flooding. You can destroy Hardy Falls, shut down all our parks for the summer, have us worried that were going to almost burn down to the ground, yet despite all this and the lousy weather, you can never, ever, take away the beautiful view from Peachland, BC Canada. WAIT, oh yes you can! Peachland Mayor Cindy Fortin has approved the ghastly eyesore, water playground that has ruined the lake view from Bliss Bakery and the surrounding businesses this past summer so that it can be shoved in our face again next summer. What a site for sore eyes! Peachland is a destination town and a community where everyone here is after the view except our own
mayor who might be cashing in on this big green and yellow plastic zit. What other explanation is there for this appalling oversight and conflict of interest? Doesn’t our own Mayor even get what Peachland is all about and why people come here? The justification to ignore those in opposition to this excrescence is that our mayor likes children. Liking children doesn’t make you a saint or special. It’s not an excuse to be blind, hard of hearing and daft to the real issue here. Plain and simple. Move it to an appropriate location, somewhere where it belongs, like where the children already swim and play. Duh! Not in front of tables where people sit to enjoy the view and have been doing so for years. By approving this ugly scar on the landscape, our own Mayor is undermining the businesses in Peachland that make Peachland, Peachland.
Bliss Bakery and the other businesses that surround it are destination businesses. They are businesses that draw people to Peachland over and over again because of how beautiful their location is. Take away that beauty and you undermine the very significance of the destination and the businesses that rely on the view as part of the attraction. Instead of being rewarded and thanked for their significant and important contribution to our town these destination businesses are getting a kick in the teeth followed by a punch in the gut by their own Mayor. If I was Bliss Bakery I would break up with Peachland and find another town on the water that truly values me. Wouldn’t that be sad. Aunaray Clusiau Peachland

Something stinks Dear editor:
I would like to concur with Phyllis Papineau’s letter to the View last month. We live off of Victoria Road, and our septic field is also on its last legs. We have had the Roto-rooter service out three time this year due to a failure in the system. Our system is between 40 and 50 years old. I remember attending a Sewer Open House at the Municipal chambers in September 2012 and was told then that the Sommerset/Victoria Road area would be the next area for sewer installation. I was also told that it would most likely occur in the next four years. Well, we are past that date and there has been no mention of sewer installation. Pamela King Peachland

OPINION
Here ‘n’ There: Will anything be done after the latest mass shooting? JON NETELNBOS
OP-ED COLUMNIST Well, here we go again. The world is still reeling from the shock and pain of last month’s gruesome Las Vegas shooting that claimed 59 lives and now we’re right back to grieving the loss of yet another 26 innocent souls—including a 17-month-old infant—coldheartedly shot by a masked gunman inside a Sutherland Springs, Texas church during a Sunday morning service. At the time of this publication, 10 of the 20 surviving worshippers wounded in the attack remain in critical condition. This despicable crime transcends all that is tangibly evil in this world. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the sheer carnage inside the church sanctuary — lifeless bodies of parishioners sprawled over the altar, pews, and aisles — will have numbed even the most
hardened police officers and emergency first responders. Yet, like the Las Vegas massacre and the other 36 mass shootings in the US in 2017 (to date), the Sutherland Springs slaughter will have little or no influence on gun control legislation. After all, if Congress can’t even agree to informally meet to discuss a federal ban on the sale of the “bump stock,” (a device used by the Las Vegas shooter,
which enables the conversion of a semi-automatic rifle into a fully automatic firearm), how can there ever be legislative resolve to ban semi-automatic assault rifles? Ironically, following the Las Vegas murders, sales of the bump stock in the U.S. soared. The Washington lawmakers who obdurately refuse to consider even the most common-sense gun control legislation such as mandatory federal background checks, hail from both sides of the political spectrum although Republicans vastly outnumber their Democratic party counterparts when it comes to opposing gun control. This explains why the most powerful gun lobbyist, the National Rifle Association, gives over 90 percent of its contributions to the election campaigns of GOP candidates. Let me be perfectly clear: I am not a gun control activist. While I have never been a hunt-
er or a member of a private firing range, I am by no means unfamiliar with handguns. During my 31 years as a police officer, my arsenal included a Webley revolver, a six-shot Smith & Wesson .38, and finally, a Glock 22. During the 1990’s, while I served as president and vice president of the Alberta Federation of Police Associations and Canadian Police Association, respectively, my colleagues and I held several meetings in Ottawa with then Justice Minister Anne McLellan, voicing our concerns about a host of operational and administrative inefficiencies associated with firearms licensing and registration pursuant to Bill C-68 (The Firearms Act). Having said this, I have no compunction in saying that what is going on in America is unadulterated insanity—the pro-gun lobby, that is. As a starter, in an attempt to reduce the number of mass ca-
sualty incidents, here are two proposals: Every individual who makes an application to possess, purchase and use a firearm should be required to undergo a mandatory police background check, followed by a 30-day “cooling-off” period. And here’s a novel idea: Except for law enforcement and military personnel, no person shall purchase or possess an automatic or semi-automatic assault weapon. These are just a couple of gun control proposals, which, of course, the NRA and its obsequious adherents will never accede to. That’s because any conversation about gun control inevitably gravitates towards a debate on the second amendment. It’s a debate that does not appear winnable—at least not until Americans begin to realize that the lives of innocent people are far more precious than language written in 1791.
Alternative approval apprehension Dear editor:
Some proposed Water Treatment Plant questions for mayor and council.
• Why are we putting all our eggs in one (Deep Creek basket)? What if something happens to the natural flow, or to a new $20 million plant on Peachland Creek? • Interior Health Authority approves of our current water system; is $20M today really necessary—can you give us a cheaper option? • Why are we borrowing the $5M now for the Trepanier interconnect— it was not scheduled to be connected until 2022? Surely those few residents can wait a few more years for $20M drinking water. 70 per cent of Peachland households have been waiting for their new SEWER for 25+YEARS, and may never get that promised essential service; no one is rushing out to borrow $5M for their sewer connections. • Are the struggling New Monaco developers pressuring council and staff to give them the Trepanier water connection now—on our dime and borrowing power? • The interconnect route and mechanics have not even been designed and plotted— how can we borrow $5M on an idea?
• What if a true emergency befell the town; what if we needed a new fire hall tomorrow; have we overextended the borrowing power of this tiny town on a connection we do not need—on a treatment plant we cannot afford? • Can an easier, safer cheaper method be implemented? Can the grant be rewritten to use to protect our water at its source, not just to treat it with chemicals in a plant after it is polluted? • 72 per cent of residents said better quality water was the number one issue on the 2016 survey, however 72% DID NOT SAY SPEND $20M. we do not have to do it, let those 72% come out in support of a referendum.
• Why is mayor and council relying on residents’ apathy to DO NOTHING — to approve the borrowing of $10M, the sleazy “negative billing option”? This is a cop out. Take this to referendum if you are willing to spend $20M of our taxpayer dollars. What is a few more grand for democracy? The three most vital factors influencing
the future of Peachland and the entire Okanagan is water, water and water. Get out and vote NO for the alternate approval process until clear answers are given, let the greater population have a say in such a large expenditure for such a tiny population. Jackie Saunders Peachland

Skeptical about local government’s plan for growth in Peachland Dear editor: Mayor Cindy Fortin’s out-of-control growth strategy is missing a critical component. It will not produce the tax revenues desperately needed to upgrade the city’s current infrastructure, let alone finance new multi-million-dollar infrastructure projects that will be needed to support that growth. Building a bunch of houses is not a sustainable economic activity. It is only responding to the local business community crying for more customers to fill their stores, and it will fizzle as soon as the last shingle has been installed. The 2008 financial melt-down is a long time ago, and
it’s time to reflect on the Ponderosa development disaster and the New Monaco proposal and to recognize that each of those projects by themselves were, and still are, far too big for a small city like Peachland. Growth in itself in not a sustainable business model, and Peachland does not have an economic engine that will support Fortin’s growth strategy. The global recovery is still sputtering. Canadian oil and gas resources are land-locked because we are not building pipelines, and Uncle Sam just slapped a 20+ per cent import tax on our timber. Restraint is the key, and it’s time for Fortin to get to work on a new budget that is based on current revenue
streams, instead of her fantasies about revenue windfalls from her out-of-control development plans. Infill is the key, not new mega-projects, and the people have already defined in intimate detail, how they want their downtown developed. Fortin has no business attempting to re-brand our precious downtown, and growing the city without a positive increase in tax revenues is not sustainable, and will only result in ‘double and triple tax increases’ as forecast by her Worship. Andy Thomsen Peachland
Would prefer a referendum to decide if we should borrow millions Dear editor: Less than 50 residents turned up to ask questions about borrowing $10 million dollars to pay for an overpriced, underfunded, over built water treatment plant and connection to Trepanier side. The current system meets the health standards and the plans for the new water treatment plant are over 10 years old, designed for an optimistic population growth of 17,000, feeding developments that never got built. At $20M, each household will spend $10,000+ interest to build a water treatment facility that chlorinates, filters and zaps with UV, all the water that enters the plant, however, we only use 8 per cent in our homes, (and that goes mostly to toi-
lets, showers and laundry). $20 million to ensure a few litres of water a day is safe to drink? Buy a Brita! $20 million dollars to build a plant that treat, filters, chlorinates and zaps our creek water so we can water our lawn, wash our cars, irrigate our crops and watch as it disappears due to leaks and evaporation? $20M so we can ingest MORE chemicals? We already pay a metering fee, a quarterly $55 usage charge, a $350 annual water plant tax—now we are paying to borrow money this small town does not have and will have to prostitute itself out to any developer who comes along so we can have a $20M water treatment plant, that, like the rest of the Okanagan will fail with heavy spring floods and freshet?
Due to insufficient Development Cost Charges, Trepanier Manor, Ponderosa and New Monaco and other developments are contributing only $400,000.00 to the WTP, relative peanuts—AND THE CITIZENS OF PEACHLAND HAVE NO GUARANTEES, NO PROMISES, THAT IF, IN THE FUTURE, IF THIS CURRENT PHASE 1 WATER TREATMENT PLANT GETS BUILT, AND NEEDS IMPROVEMENTS, OR EXPANSION WE, THE TAXPAYERS WILL NOT HAVE TO PAY AGAIN, and again and again…. And now we read that this $20M only LARGELY ELIMINATES our annual boil water notices and turbidity, no guarantees, maybe we should reconsider and limp along with the current, affordable system, re-evaluate our needs, and improve the
quality of water ENTERING THE SYSTEM—REDUCE THE MUDSLIDES, SEDEMENTATION FROM DEFORESTATION REQUIRING FILTERING THE TURIDITY AND REDUCE THE COW FECES NEEDING CHLORINATION. Councillor Cunningham asks, “Who wouldn’t want a water treatment plant?” There are 2,200 households and $20 million reasons why. Do what they don’t think you will do—get out, ask the questions and if you don’t get the answers, VOTE NO on the Alternate Approval Forms. THIS is a referendum issue. Benjamin Yamamoto Peachland

prised of a medieval trebuchet launching flaming pumpkins left over from Halloween at a mock English castle in front of a crowd of enthusiasts numbering around 200 folks of all ages. This one-sixth scale weapon was used by the Normans when they invaded Saxon England in the year 1066. This has become an annual charity event at Saxon Winery raising funds for Summerland’s local Food bank and also on this
occasion funds for Summerland’s Neighbourlink group. In spite of the chilling weather the turn out was very good and Saxon winery offered hot chocolate and wine refreshments. For each pumpkin launched, a $5 contribution was taken and a food contribution. In fact the funds raised amounted to over $700 for the combined charities and 200lbs in food was donated to the food bank.

Province took 17 years to recognize PTSD was caused by fire fighting DAN WALTON EDITOR
editor@peachlandview.com
S
eventeen years after Pat Hampson’s early retirement as a fire fighter, WorkSafeBC has finally recognized that his post traumatic stress disorder was a workplace injury. Hampson was planning to finish his career around the age of 65, but emotional wounds that were compounding for decades forced him to retire when he was 57 or 58 years old. The last call he ever responded to was the final straw. Much of Hampson’s career was spent responding to wrecks along the Sea to Sky Highway, which were often gruesome and fatal. One night he was called to a severe motor incident, his daughter was also traveling along the same highway. Although his daughter wasn’t involved in the accident, he had witnessed so many tragic outcomes that he couldn’t stop obsessing over the possibility that she might be the victim. “Is it going to be my daughter?” Hampson became so distraught that he pulled his emergency vehicle over to the side of the road when he was supposed to be responding to the call. “I’m no good to the department if I’m going to calls concerned that I’m going to find what I don’t want to find. It’s not a very nice feeling.” He said WorkSafe tried to argue that he wasn’t supposed to be responding to the accident and therefore deserves no claim, which he then had to fight to disprove. Shortly thereafter, he was misdiagnosed with extreme anxiety. WorkSafeBC sent a letter stating that; “his phobic fear of MVAs is so strong that he is at risk
of causing a serious consequence to others, if he had to face an emergency situation etc.” “His condition affects his information processing speed”. He believed the letter presented an extreme risk to his firefighters and the public, plus liability to his employer. “WorkSafe said if you disagree with this assessment, you have to respond within 90 days. What they don’t understand is when you’re going through the emotional turmoil I was going through, 90 days flies by.” “They are rote. They don’t deviate from their certain path. They can’t understand emotional issues.” After 90 days had passed, he no longer had any opportunity to appeal the medical assessment Thankfully in 2012, the province of British Columbia passed Bill 14, which began holding workplaces to higher standards regarding the mental health of their employees. But it wasn’t until a few months ago that Hampson realized the legislation was relevant to him. “Nobody notified me about Bill 14 – you would think they’d circulate that kind of information.” Hampson said he’s happy with the payout that was finally settled less than a month ago, but the long wait and numerous delays leads him to believe that WorkSafe is severely understaffed. Although it took 17 years for him to reach a settlement he considers fair, Hampson can appreciate the progress being made in perceiving PTSD as an illness. “In the olden days, PTSD was called Shellshock and you were considered to be lacking moral fibre.” After living with PTSD for years and developing a deeper understanding of the illness, Hampson believes it also affected his father, who served in the Armed Forces and fought in the Battle of Dunkirk.

“Remembering what some of his mood changes were like, now I realized he was suffering PTSD from what he’d experienced at Dunkirk.” Beyond the medical treatments available for PTSD, Hampson says his wife has been an invaluable part of his healing process. She spent her career working as a psychiatric nurse. “I had some terrible flashbacks of some of the worst incidents I’d been to.” It might not be possible to prevent others from developing PTSD, but Hampson believes those becoming affected by the condition can mitigate it by discussing their emotional vulnerabilities with one another. “The ‘He-Man’ mentality is dangerous.” Before his retirement with the fire department, Hampson addressed the mental health of his colleagues by launching a debriefing program, which was inspired by a program he saw on the evening news. But “Some people didn’t think it was necessary to talk about our feelings at debriefing. That’s just part of the culture.” Among emergency workers, Hampson said that paramedics seem more receptive of the importance of debriefing, whereas police officers can be reluctant to open up about their feelings. “Police officers are really bad about image. But every department needs to have a program where you sit down in a circle after an incident and talk about it— this is how I was feeling at the scene and this is how I’m feeling now.”

No rest for the local Arts Council MP Albas on marijuana CHRIS BYRD
PEACHLAND COMMUNITY ARTS COUNCIL
W
hat a great response the Peachland Arts community made to the first Sip n’ Paint at the Blind Angler Restaurant two Mondays ago! The restaurant was full of eager artists painting winter scenes led by local artist/instructor Roberta Farelly. You can view images of the event on Facebook by clicking the underlined link above or at www.facebook. com/Peachland ArtGallery. The next Sip N’ Paint is November 13 with Nancy Archer the acrylic artist/ instructor at the Waterfront Grill and Pizzeria. Phone the Art Gallery at 250767-7422 (Mondays the exception) or the Restaurant at 250767-3255 to book your seat now. The whole Sip N’ Paint schedule can be downloaded from the website or from the above attachment. The group is still under the skilled direction of art director Roberta Farrelly whose personal motto is that “art begins from the inside. If you have passion and drive, it keeps you motivated.” Drop in this weekend to admire and possibly purchase a piece in readiness for the coming gift-giving season. The Mixed Media Medley all day workshop with Carney Oudendag is only three weeks away on Saturday November 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the 1898 Peachland Little Schoolhouse. This is part of a practical and informative series of adult workshops using acrylic techniques involving simple printmaking, image transfers, textures and more. If interested please contact Sharon McPhee for further information at 250-767-6556 or email: themcphees@ telus.net. The entire workshop brochure can be downloaded from
the website at www. peachla nda r ts.ca/ adult-workshops/#LSH. On November 10 and 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Kelowna Community Theatre, Ballet Kelowna will be honouring Canada’s Veterans and those who have served in the wars with Simone Orlando’s world premiere of Acts of Remembrance. This Remembrance Day 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the first World War battles of Vimy Ridge and Passchendaele, and the commemorative work marks the courage and sacrifice displayed by Canadians in these bitter conflicts. Letters and diary entries from the battlefront bring the human experience to the fore. As a curtain raiser the company will present L’Étiquette a lively ensemble piece inspired by the dance, music, and manners of the Baroque era. The evening promises to be a well balanced evening’s entertainment for dance enthusiasts who enjoy this highly popular dance company. If you find yourself in the Winfield area drop into the Lake Country Art Gallery’s exhibition Man OverBoard currently running until November 17. The paintings of Rose Braun, John Hall, Joice Hall, Michael Hermesh and Deirdre Hofer ponder the shifting and complex role of man and masculinity. The annual Red Dot Members Show and Sale is coming up at the Alternator Gallery in Kelowna which runs from November 17 to December 23. If you wanted to enter your art work though, you must be a member and you would have had to register and have your art work in by Saturday November 4. The major aim is to fill the hall with red dots! The opening reception which is free and open to the public is on November 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. The Summerland
Arts Centre has a Call out for Artists for their Season’s Sparkles Art & Gift Sale. Artists are invited to submit original handmade gift items like paintings, pottery, glass jewellery, fibre art, local interest books, etc. All items must be the artist’s own, original design—no commercial kits, workshops or patterns. Submission packages must be picked up from the Summerland Arts Centre, completed and submitted back by Friday, November 17. The Front Street Gallery in Penticton is in the midst of their 4th Annual Mini Show until November 23. They’re open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Size restriction has their pieces no larger than 8 X 10 including the frame which keeps prices down to a very reasonable range for the season of givin—ideal gifts for art loving friends—and confidence building for the budding artist! The Penticton branch of Grandmothers for Africa and the Downtown Business Association in Penticton are partnering in calling for singers to participate in a new fundraiser for the Stephen Lewis Foundation. They wish to assist African Grandmothers raising a generation of children orphaned by AIDS along with the Breakfast Learning Club in Penticton that feeds hungry children in three Penticton schools. On Thursday, November 23rd, from 5:30 until 7:30 p.m., Caroling For A Cause will take place in downtown Penticton. The plan is to fill downtown Penticton with groups of singers (a group could be 3 or 4 or more than 20). The audience will move from group to group and purchase buttons to vote for their favourite. The evening will end at Nanaimo Square for a final song as part of the Tree Lighting
Festival. Since the singers are stationary and the audience moves, repeating songs is possible. If you would like to contribute your voice to the cause either as an individual or as part of a group, registration forms are available from Judi Ritcey at jritcey49@ gmail.com who will answer all your questions. The following Wednesday’s Kelowna Film Society film (same times and place) is Tulip Fever, a British film with 17th Century Amsterdam as the background for a torrid romance between a portrait artist and a young married woman at the height of tulip mania. An historically interesting film. Shot entirely in the multi-island country of Vanuatu the film uses untrained actors who have never seen a movie. The tribe is aware the modern world exists but choose to continue their traditional way of life. The movie is set in the remote village of Yakel on the island named Tanna. Yakel is high in the mountain rainforest near a spitting volcano, gorgeous waterfalls and ancient trees. The movie was Australia’s entry for this year’s Best Foreign Language Oscar and was recorded in Nauvhal with English subtitles. On Thursday, November 16, the remarkably skilful, artistically animated film Loving Vincent, seen last Wednesday in Kelowna, will be screened in Penticton at the Landmark 7 Cinema on Winnipeg Street. This is a film not to be missed primarily for its atmospheric rendering of Van Gogh’s bold artistic style as it explores the mystery behind Van Gogh’s suicide. Hopefully you escaped the wiles and guiles of the hobgoblins on Halloween as you granted them (or dared not to) the very goodies that they seek! Boo! - I mean, bye!
DAN ALBAS
MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT Dan.Albas@parl.gc.ca
I
would like to solicit your thoughts on the pending legalization of marijuana. For those of you unfamiliar, the Liberals in the last election openly campaigned on the legalization of marijuana. I raise that point as I believe the Liberals received a democratic mandate from voters to move ahead with marijuana legalization. The intent of my column today is not to wade into ideological discussion on this topic but rather to hear concerns that in turn can be passed on in Ottawa. Some of the concerns I have heard thus far are quite varied. From potentially approved and legally licensed growers I have heard concerns that they might be illegally undercut by those selling marijuana with a higher THC content under the table tax free. From a law enforcement standpoint I have heard that it might be difficult if not impossible to determine the point of origin to determine between legal and illegal marijuana. Locally NDP MP Dick Cannings has raised another concern that chronic users of Marijuana may have higher THC levels in their blood
that could subject a user to be subject to potentially unfair criminal charges if operating a vehicle. Those who frequently cross the border have questioned what impact legal marijuana use in Canada would have on someone crossing into the United States. At this point there are no answers to any of these concerns that have been raised but given that the Liberal Government has promised to implement legalization in eight months, the answers will need to be found relatively soon.
The above is only a small sampling of concerns that I have heard and do not include comments around secondary smoke and smoking marijuana in public places. I have also heard many questions from educators on how to restrict marijuana from teenagers given scientific evidence has shown potential harm for brain development among youth if using marijuana. My question this week: what concerns do you have, if any, on the legalization of marijuana?
