PEACHLAND PLAYERS The play itself is a continuance of last years play. Last year we found the convent in an uproar as Sisters Augusta and Philamena were secretly making wine to keep the convent open.

A noviate, Sister Mary Catherine, fell in love with the groundskeeper George, and decided not to become a nun. The reporters Paul and Sally, while trying to find out if someone was making wine at the convent, fell in love. Paul and Sister Mary Catherine found out that they were actually brother

and sister. And Mother Superior, who had joined the convent later in life after a terrible accident, finds out that Paul and Sister Mary Catherine are her children that she thought died in the accident, and the convent priest, Father Chenille, is really her husband that she also thought died in the accident.

This year in Drinking Habits 2, things are just as twisted and crazy as ever. Sisters Augusta and Philamena decide to make wine again, because they are bored.

George and Kate (formerly Sister Mary Catherine) are married and expecting twins. Sally is now Editor of the newspaper, and Paul is about to become ordained as a

priest, since Sally left him at the altar. And at Father Chenille’s urging, Mother Superior decides to reprise her play she wrote when she was fourteen, in hopes of saving the very orphanage where her children were raised after the accident.

What could possibly go wrong???

Mother Superior playing a fourteen year old girl, Father Chenille being the announcer at the play, while still trying to do magic tricks, pregnant Kate playing the Blessed Virgin Mary, etc. etc. Need I say more. Come join the fun and see what happens when it comes to life on our stage as our favourite characters are “ Caught in the Act”.

Spring has sprung, winter is done, let’s all cheer for joy! Drop in for a quote on your trailer or boat, or any of your summer toys.

Rockin’ Rotary Diner CHRIS SOUTHIN ROTARY CLUB OF PEACHLAND

You may have seen the advertisements for the Rotary Club of Peachland’s up-coming May 12th fundraiser “Shake Rattle and Roll “at the Community Centre and asked yourself “I wonder what they use the money for?”

The Peachland Rotary club has set priorities for use of its funding.

One priority is community and within it there is a strong emphasis on youth.

In our elementary school every room has a surround sound system that ensures every child can hear the teacher; there are also up to date electronic white boards; additionally, the school yard has good playground equipment.

All of these items were provided fully or in part by funding from your local Rotary club. In the past there was a one to one reading program for students needing extra assistance with reading:

teaching materials and some support workers provided by Rotary.

Additionally, each Friday a number of students participate in the Starfish backpack program sponsored by Rotary along with other community organizations and individuals providing them with extra food for the weekend.

The club’s youth support activities go beyond the elementary level.

Each year a local secondary student is sent to Ottawa for the “Adventures in Citizenship” program, a one-week opportunity to learn how our nation is governed.

Locally, a student is chosen to attend “Adventures in Tourism”, a local live-in program which emphasizes opportunity in the hospitality industry.

Next year the club will be expanding this involvement to include a student attending “Adventures in Medicine “at UNBC in Prince George.

Additionally, the club sponsors a local graduate to attend “RYLA” a three-

day youth leadership program for young adults ages 18 to 30, usually held somewhere in the Valley.

Just this year the club approved a new ongoing commitment for a scholarship to allow a returning young adult student to attend vocational training at Okanagan University College.

Not everything Rotary does is for youth endeavours. The club’s longest serving project is the annual seniors’ bus trip.

Every year in the Spring the club charters a bus to take up to 52 Peachland seniors on a full day adventure tour of the valley including a lunch and stops at a winery and other destinations such as “Tickleberries”. Usually it is a blossom time event but perhaps not this year because of our late Spring.

Then there are the physical facilities in the community. Every one knows about the Rotary Pavilion and the town clock.

But did you know that construction of the Pavilion involved removal of old wooden playground equipment.

The equipment now in

use was provided by your Rotary club.

The club is now working with the District of Peachland on plans to further upgrade playground equipment. Of course, the Rotary Club, along with the Lions Club and Sportsmen’s Association will be completing the Heritage Park Pier this summer. Rotary has recently approved a new project to install lighting on the completed

pier this fall or early next spring.

The Rotary Executive recently approved a project where we will furnish the “Common Room” in the new senior citizens’ housing project with appliances that will include a stove, fridge, dishwasher and microwave.

These paragraphs outline what Rotary has done in Peachland and some of its plans moving forward.

These projects cost monFROM LAST YEAR’S DISCO FEVER FUNDRAISER

ey and our annual Rotary Gala (this year “Shake Rattle and Roll”) is the Club’s primary source of funding for its community projects.

The Rotary Club hopes you will see the value in the work of Rotary in Peachland and join us on May 12th.

Tickets are $60 per person and available from any Rotarian and from the Peachland Pharmacy. It promises to be a wonderful event with dinner, exciting music and dancing to the sounds of the Fifties and Sixties.

Annual freshet preparation ramps up Spirit of Peachland

PEACHLAND DOCKS WERE BELOW WATER DURING THE 2017 FRESHET

CENTRAL OKANAGAN EMERGENCY OPERATIONS Emergency officials and local government staff are responding to various reports of small landslides and localized flooding because of groundwater and high water levels in low-elevation streams throughout the Central Okanagan.

Properties along Okanagan Lake are currently not at risk of flooding. The Okanagan Lake level is being closely monitored and managed by the province and is not anticipated to be a concern in 2018.

The Emergency Operation Centre has been activated to support crews in the field responding to the issues of localized flooding during the 2018 freshet.

The Emergency program reminds property owners that they are responsible for having tools and equipment necessary to protect their properties from possible flooding.

Sand and sandbags are available at locations across the Central Okanagan for residents that are in vulnerable areas or who have previously experienced freshet flooding. Visit cordemergency.ca/map to find sand and sandbag pick up locations.

District of Peachland has:

• Sand at open space at 5432 Chidley Road • Sandbags at Peachland Fire Hall – 4405 3rd Ave

In the event that a homeowner needs to construct a sandbag dike or wall to protect their property, residents are encouraged to review the sandbagging tips and information provided

by Emergency Management BC. Emergency management crews and municipal staff monitor area waterways and culverts on an on-going basis and are in daily contact with Provincial departments to monitor creeks and rivers. They expect it will be about two to four weeks—depending on weather—before spring runoff peak flows from higher elevation snow melt arrives in the valley bottom. Some smaller creeks fed from low level snow melt have already started to rise.

Anyone noticing a non-emergency flooding concerns is asked to call their local municipality.

As creeks and streams are continuing to rise, residents are also advised to use extra care and attention around local creeks. Hikers and walkers should be aware that fast moving water may cause some creek bank erosion and creek bank edges may not be stable.

Visit cordemergency.ca for the most up to date information, and resources on how to be prepared to keep your family and property safe.

Not lazy or apathetic

Recently I read an article in this paper that said that some people are not working at being fire smart because they are apathetic or lazy. I wonder if that applies to those of us who have been so close to a forest on fire or have seen others with fire loss. Possibly people don’t know where to start or that a few simple things can add up.

It is easy to get the information to get started on being prepared from our fire department.

Many of the suggestions are obvious but maybe not thought of. I walk by a house that has pine needles overflowing the gutters, obviously a fire risk as the embers can fly incredibly far to start a new fire. I just wonder if they look to see what their gutters look like. Cleaning the gutters may be a once per year task or several times yearly for those who live in the pines.

Removing bark mulch and any other materials that easily start on fire from the base of the house all makes sense. Firewood stored close to the house might sound good in winter but not in the fire season.

Removing tree branches that overhang the

house … and so many other ideas, like a sprinkler on the roof. Do they need to be all done or done at once?

Go at your own pace.

I found myself very thoughtful of fire in August, wondering if I should take our evacuation totes to work with me or not. I felt it easier to do something about our situation than to worry about it. Looking at an aerial photo of our property I realized we had no break in the tree canopy to keep fire from spreading. When we took out many pine trees (the easiest to burn) it felt rather bare but with the 25 new firs we planted it looks good now and even better in the future. We took the bottom six feet of branches off the old trees (Okay not the blue spruce but we got the branches off the ground in event of grass fire) and raked all the pine needles. How pleasant this year not to have many pine needles!

The fire department suggested reducing or eliminating junipers and cedars. We picked the worst offenders first. When we threw those junipers on the fire, I jumped back, flames shot up 20 feet in the air and it sustained that intensity until gone. Can you imagine how fast a

dead shrub would go up in flame?

What if it is beside your house?

Our neighbours are doing what they can too.

I am grateful for that! They have endured our bits of smoke however I hope it is appreciated in this controlled environment rather than the smoke of a fire out of control in August.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We chose this property for the trees and with a different perspective we can appreciate what we have now too.

Pipeline opponents are misinformed

published by Aberdeen Publishing Inc.

Robert W. Doull, PRES rdoull@aberdeenpublishing.com

Dear editor: The current stand against pipelines and Alberta Diluted Bitumen is founded on misinformation and deception about the governments’ position on protecting the environment.

Per the Victoria Times Colonist in 50 years there have been NO TANKER spills.

In that same time there have been numerous spills by Barges transporting petroleum products along the inside passage, tug boats, fishing boats, abandoned freighters and yachts capsizing spilling hundreds of thousands to a few thousand litres of oil on BC’s coast.

There have been many rail and transport truck accidents spilling crude oil or petroleum products

into waterways; another “Lac-Megantic” rail, or “Mount Polly Mine” disaster, is far more likely than a tanker incident. This is a real problem not fixed by this or any government. Clean up this mess before conjecturing on what “might” happen with a tanker!

An even worse environmental disaster is the BC record on spillage of RAW SEWAGE and tailing ponds waste into our waterways and oceans.

According to Global News research there have been 45 billion litres of raw sewage dumped in our waterways containing every contaminant known to man.

Most troubling are the micro plastics which are killing fish and all those up the food chain. The shellfish along our coasts are poi-

soned by the human and animal waste dumped every day. This is another environmental failure needing immediate attention.

Stop wasting time and money killing a pipeline to placate the Greens and vocal, foreign funded, environmental eco terrorists, and their shadowy backers.

Yes there were concerns about this pipeline; but through the process 146,000 questions were asked to address the issues raised by all involved. In the end Licences were granted that set the highest standards and many conditions applied.

Some protesters were not happy with the answers. But then some protesters will not accept the rule of law and the processes that approved this or any project simply

because like the flat earth believers, they believe they are right and neither science nor logic will change their view. The majority of BC residents have understood and accepted the lengthy, legal process and result.

Mr. Horgan and Mr. Weaver fix the environmental issues in your jurisdiction; stop wasting millions on killing the Canadian economy and a pipeline within Federal jurisdiction; stop the ideological political games to stay in power.

Drop the objection to the Kinder Morgan pipeline today; it is in the interests of B.C., Alberta and all Canadians from coast to coast to coast.

Peachland Wellness Centre thanks you!

BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STAFF

PEACHLAND WELLNESS CENTRE All of us at the Peachland Wellness Centre (PWC) would like to extend our gratitude to those who provided their feedback and suggestions in the PWC Community Awareness Questionnaire distributed in February 2018. We received a total of 98 responses, which provided us with valuable information about community awareness of PWC and its current programs and services, as well as suggestions for the future.

The questionnaire helped us understand that PWC is highly recognized throughout Peachland and surrounding areas, however awareness is lacking in the community with respect to its numerous

programs and services - something we want to improve!

With the upcoming launch of our new, informational website, along with our continued communication via the Peachland View and PWC Facebook page, we hope to increase community awareness and provide more information on how PWC’s programs and services can enhance your life in the community.

We also learned that there appears to be a gap between the age groups who are aware of and utilize the centre.

PWC’s Vision is that people of all ages in Peachland enhance their well-being, embrace opportunities, and enjoy life in the community.

Are our borders secure enough? Nasty fetus photos DAN ALBAS MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT don’t change minds Dan.Albas@parl.gc.ca

This week the topic of illegal entry into Canada was again a major point of debate in the House of Commons.

As you may recall, last year Prime Minister Trudeau famously tweeted: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith.

Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada” More recently in Ottawa, an access to information request by a National Post journalist revealed this tweet from the Prime Minister resulted in “a spike in inquiries from would-be refugees to Canadian embassies abroad, and resulted in confusion within the federal government” As one communication from an immigration officer revealed: “We are receiving an increasing number of enquiries from the public about requesting refugee status in Canada, and a number clearly having links with our Prime Minister’s tweet this weekend”.

Last year, the RCMP intercepted over 20,000 illegal entries into Canada.

In Ottawa, the Liberals refer to these incidents as “irregular entries”.

In addition, we have learned that 80 Immigration officials were transferred from other files to deal with this influx of illegal entries requesting refugee status.

As a result, I am seeing a trend where those who are attempting to legally come to Canada are having applications unfairly delayed or are being arbitrarily denied with little justification as to why.

From my perspective as an MP, it is deeply troubling when illegal immigration moves to the front of the line, over those who are following all of the rules to come to Canada legally.

Yesterday, the Official Opposition tabled a motion that proposed several measures but can be best summarized as requesting the Liberals to table: “a plan to (i) stop the influx of people illegally entering Canada from the United States, (ii) take appropriate measures to handle those

Dear editor:

who have already claimed asylum” The motion also mentions the increased costs to provincial governments, who are providing social services and that this trend of illegal immigration is expected to increase given continued inaction from the Prime Minister.

In fact, so far this year there have been over 6,300 illegal entries into Canada.

The Prime Minister blames this recent problem on the former Conservative Government suggesting not enough funding was provided to the Canadian Border Services Agency.

That’s an interesting claim given that the illegal entries are intentionally not made at the border in order to avoid the Canada-U.S. Safe Third Country Agreement.

The ‘Safe Third Country Agreement’ states that refugee claimants are required to request refugee protection in the first safe country they arrive in. So if the USA was their first point of entry, their refugee claim is in the USA. However a loophole to this agreement is entering Canada illegally through other points of entry that are not at an official border crossing.

Ultimately the Liberals and the NDP voted down the Conservative opposition motion.

However during Tuesday’s Question Period, the Prime Minister was asked if he “thinks it is wrong to illegally enter the country. If so, can he unequivocally state so, here today?”

For the record the Prime Minister refused to answer the question.

This leads to my question today: With over 20,000 illegal entries into Canada last year and so far over 6,300 illegal entries this year, do you believe that Prime Minister Trudeau is doing enough to come up with a solution for this problem?

I wonder - Are you happy helping to pay for the graphic “Mobile Abortion Billboard “that is being driven around Kelowna?

Well, all of you who shop in the Pro Life Thrift Shop on Sutherland are doing just that, because money raised from that thrift shop goes to support the Kelowna Right to Life Society‘s actions in our community.

No matter how good a deal I might get there, that is not a charity I will support.

Volunteers from Kelowna Right to Life march up and down outside Kelowna General Hospital on a Tuesday (abortions are carried out on a Tuesday).

They carry placards promoting their anti abortion views partially in order to harass and shame patients who might be having an abortion on that day. These people have no idea if patients are having a pregnancy termination for medical reasons or have elected to end a pregnancy. Terminations are not a choice for many patients and their hearts are heavy as they face the end of a lost dream.

The volunteers of Right to Life are wonderful people who think they have the right to shame women who don’t think the way they do. They go home happy and secure in the idea that they have done “their duty”.

This society spends its time and money trying to ensure that each pregnancy runs its course to the final production of a happy, healthy baby.

End of story.

But it is not the end; it is just the beginning of the story.

Some few might see termination as a form of birth control, but for most who elect to end a pregnancy, the choice is not always an easy one. The reasons are varied and private to each person and are between the patient and their doctor.

No one has the right to know or to judge others. Reasons could range from incest, rape, failure of birth control, accidental pregnancy, social and economic reasons to name but a few.

I believe that women have the right to make a choice as to whether they keep or terminate a pregnancy.

We don’t know if there is a partner involved and we don’t know if she has the finances to bring up this baby. Perhaps she was a student working hard to educate herself and became pregnant when a condom split. Could she afford to remain in school, have the baby and continue her education?

Was she even ready to become a parent?

Could every woman carry and then raise a child with severe physical challenges? Would they be able to afford to, emotionally and financially?

Making informed decisions is tough enough already without having to face bigoted harassment.

Maybe there is another solution. The sperm and egg providers for this pregnancy who did not wish for it to continue should be permitted to abdicate financial responsibility for the baby.

So, if Right to Life volunteers and their society really feel strongly about the Sanctity of Life at all cost, they could get involved in the ongoing finances. Let them contract towards the cost of bringing up each baby resulting from a pregnancy that they save from termination.

Instead of just marching up and down in passive aggressive mode and financing dubious advertising modes and materials, they should take responsibility for those babies that they “save”. Basically, If Right to Life is successful and manages to prevent a termination, they should become fiscally liable. Saving a baby means being responsible for it, because the baby is not able to take care of itself.

Weather-proofing your valuables

HOP ON A BIKE — Little Tunnel is a popular cycling destination along the Kettle Valley Railway Trail on the other side of Okanagan Lake

Before the overwhelming summer weather manages to ruin vehicles, living spaces and sunny days, be sure to contact the professionals at Westside Canvas & Manufacturing.

Nothing soothes the sun’s relentless rays like a retractable awning.

“It’s just so much nicer to have that much overhead protection,” said Kandus Fenton, owner of Westside Canvas & Manufacturing.

For the past 30 years, they’ve been installing customizable canvases to protect any outdoor valuables, from both the damaging effects of UV rays and the extremities of heat-wave temperatures.

And their covers are also safeguards against brutal winter conditions.

“If you have outdoor investments like boats, kitchens – anything of value that is outdoors – then you’re definitely going to want to keep it covered, from the sun and winter,” Fenton said.

When she first embraced upon entrepreneurialism, Fenton realized how important

customer service is in her industry, since every client comes to her with a completely unique set of needs.

“It’s not just like you’re ordering everything in a box – we have to understand what customers want and then do the measurements on site.”

Although springtime in the Okanagan hasn’t been very sunny this year, the temperatures will be cranking up come summer, and anybody with a patio will be wishing they had a retractable awning. But don’t wait for a heat wave to hit before purchasing one – “Then you’re too late in the season.”

For those who already have an awning but with rips in it, Fenton and the team also do repairs.

“We can put a new cover on it and you can avoid a trip to the dump.”

Westside Canvas & Manufacturing serves private and commercial property from West Kelowna to Osoyoos. Give them a call at 778755-5544.

Spring has sprung!

LINDA NORDEN GARDENER

“…when all at once I saw a crowd, a host of golden daffodils.”

Ah, symbols of hope and renewal – exactly what we are needing after this long winter. When we see the daffodils we know there is no turning back, that indeed, spring is here!

For the last few weeks, the fair weather gardeners have been chomping at the bit like race horses at the starting line eager to work the slightly stiff soil of their garden beds, clean up the remains of the winter winds and the snow trampled leaves while imagining the transformation of their gardens once spring has sprung .…

Fast forward one week and what a difference a day with warmer temperatures and sunshine can make!

We have had a glorious week – just the tonic we need to not only encourage the plants and flowers in our gardens but also the gardeners and artists who will be taking part in this year’s Art and Garden Tour presented by the Peachland Community Arts Council.

The date is set for Saturday, June 16 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Tickets are $10 each and will be available beginning May 15 at the Peachland Art Gallery on Beach, Peachland Ace Hardware, Bylands in West Kelowna, and the Peachland and Summerland Visitor Centres.

This Art and Garden Tour is a very successful and popular spring event which showcases Peachlanders’ artistic talents. We will have one artist at each of the garden sites.

You will be able to chat and ask questions of both the gardener and the artist. When you buy your ticket for this event you will be given a brochure - this is your ticket.

The brochure will have a description of each of the gardens to visit and each garden will have a number.

There will be a map of Peachland on the flip side of the brochure and a corresponding number of each of the gardens will show its location in Peachland.

This year we have some great prizes to give away and the only way to be eligible to have your ticket number in the draw is to have a stamp from each of the gardens listed in the brochure – you must visit them all! At the end of your tour you will drop the numbered portion of your ticket in the draw bin at the Peachland Visitor Centre.

The winners will be contacted the next day!

We have some very nice and interesting gardens lined up for you: edible, natural, water-wise, curb appeal, raised beds and Town & Country.

An added attraction in the tour this year is the information booths which will be set up outside our Visitor Centre. There will be a cornucopia of interest and info available to you including answers to the questions you may have about our little bats!

We hope you join the excitement of the 2018 tour. Further information can be resourced from the Visitor Centre – 250-767-2455 or the Art Gallery on Beach – 250-767-7455.

Come and be a part of this year’s spring fever!

It was Earth Day when Patricia Ryder found a massive illegal dumpsite up the hill from her Drought Road home.

It’s located up that dirt road off of Highway 97, accessible only in the southbound lane, right before the onramp to the Connector.

Ryder’s family began homesteading on her Drought Road property almost 100 years ago. A major factor in her grandfather’s decision to choose that parcel of land was because of the clean water supplied to the property though Drought Creek.

“We’ve always had a very strong connection with this land,” she said.

Ryder has been living there for most of her life since 1930. To somebody so familiar with the area, last week was peculiar, as water from up in the hills began draining through a new route and chewing up Drought Road. When she wandered upstream to see what was happening, she stumbled upon the devastating dump site.

“I almost threw up. I was absolutely horrified. And heartbroken to think people would leave stuff like that in such a beautiful spot; a perfectly innocent landscape.”

Ryder’s sons went and surveyed the site earlier this week, and they told her trash has even been dumped right into Drought Creek.

“The creek is just trickling through a load of rubbish that they dumped into it,” she said.

After hearing from the Ryders, Mayor Cindy Fortin went to visit the site.

“I was pretty choked when I went up and saw it – I heard it was bad but I didn’t think it could have been that bad,” she said. “I would say there was everything but the kitchen sink, except I think there may have been a kitchen sink too.”

The dumpsite has it all – household waste, scrapped cars, dozens of tires, a demolished building, grow-op equipment, discarded scraps of low-quality weed, dirty needles, a naloxone kit (for people who have to worry about overdosing on fentanyl), and lots of liquor bottles. It would be difficult to overstate the amount of waste that’s up there. At the end of the road is where the bulk of the trash lies, and the road is caked with litter for nearly a kilometre leading up to it.

Within the contents of the waste, Fortin found names on some of the discarded items. She said the addresses belonged to people in Kelowna, West Kelowna and Summerland, but it will be difficult to prove if they were the culprits.

One piece of litter Fortin discovered was a birthday card with the words “I love you Daddy” hand-written onto it, and that startled her.

“Is this the legacy that a dad wants to leave with his kids?”

It would have probably required the same amount of effort to haul the garbage all the way up there as it would have to the Westside Transfer Station, Fortin said.

“So thoughtless to just drop your garbage there.”

The dumpsite stretches over Crown land within the District of Peachland and the City of West Kelowna, and a part of the property is privately owned.

Director of operations Joe Mitchell said the issue was well documented last fall and a cleanup has been planned for May 5. The work will be a collaborative effort between Regional District Waste Reduction (RDCO) staff, with the Okanagan Forest Task Force (non-profit group), and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

However, the cleanup will only deal with the portions of the dump that are on Crown land.

Mitchell isn’t sure how much of the problem is on Crown land, but he figures the clean-up team will get “a fairly significant portion of it gone.”

In addition to cleaning it up, he said it’s important to get the gate locked.

Whoever owns the property hasn’t been tracked down just yet.

“The private property sections are not within the Peachland boundary and RDCO has been in touch with West Kelowna to discuss unsightly premises and possible clean up requests for their land,” Mitchell said in an email to District staff.

Glenn Elliott 1932-2018

Glenn passed away suddenly on April 16, 2018 at the Kelowna General Hospital.

Glenn was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on October 31st, 1932, at the Grace Hospital.

The most easy-going and sociable of people, friends surrounded Glenn everywhere and anywhere he found himself. Some of his fondest childhood memories were of adventures in nature with his friend Don Smith fishing, trapping, and selling furs to the Hudson’s Bay Fur Company in downtown Winnipeg. It is a testament to his character that many of these early friendships endured throughout his lifetime. As a young man, his popularity made him class president and his yearbook quote read “seems to get along very well with all the feminine students”.

Glenn had an eye for detail and a great appreciation for craftsmanship. He could identify the type and year of any classic car simply by studying the shape of a tail light or chrome on a radiator grille. He applied this aptitude to his trade as a printer in a career that spanned from movable lead type in the 1950s to digital print. His reputation for fine workmanship and integrity propelled him from an apprenticeship with Public Press in Winnipeg to Alcraft Printing and Craftsman Printing in Calgary, Alberta. Beginning retirement, he continued working in the graphic arts providing printing services to the local people and businesses of the Okanagan.

Eventually, his love for the art of printing allowed him to indulge in his graphic arts roots and he returned to ancient letterpress techniques. No one could fail to be charmed by a visit to his retirement print shop in Peachland, BC where he would typeset a creation from ancient individual metal letters and patiently make a single impression on a century old platen press.

He maintained a lifelong love of Peachland where he spent many summers as a child with his family and chose to retire there with his beloved wife Lena in 1983.

He immediately began to serve the community as a member of the Lion’s Club, serving continuously until very recently when his failing health prevented him from participating. There was seldom a parade, public festival, fundraiser, charitable or seniors’ event that didn’t see Glenn enthusiastically serving in the background. As a member of the Citizen’s Patrol and president of the Peachland Businessman’s Association he continued to contribute to the community. He encountered friends in every coffee shop and community hall, every sidewalk and restaurant. Glenn was a regular fixture on the golf course and he took enormous pleasure from the time he spent with friends on the links.

Above all, Glenn will be remembered as the kindest and most decent of men. He relished every moment of his life.

Although always remembered in our hearts, he will be so dearly missed by Lena, his wife of 62 years; his three children Janet, Karen, and Robert, his daughter-in-law Rachel; his grandchildren Jill, Daniel, and Ellery; his niece Kathy, and her husband Blake. He was predeceased by his sister Joan and his son-in-law Don. Memorial contributions may be made to the Parkinson Society of B.C. www.parkinson.bc.ca/donate/ Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com

Peachland Rotary’s 18th Seniors’ Bus Trip

MARGARET SINCLAIR PEACHLAND ROTARY

On the morning of Wednesday April 18th at about 8 a.m., a group of Peachland’s senior citizens began to gather around the front doors of the Peachland Community Centre. For those gathered, this was a special day, as they were about to embark on the 18th Annual Seniors’ Bus Trip, provided as a service by the Rotary Club of Peachland. The tour bus arrived and the assembled group were greeted by Driver Cal. Soon coolers containing boxed

lunches, bottled water and juice boxes, along with a collection of participants’ walkers, were loaded into the cargo bays and guests and five accompanying Rotarians settled themselves into their seats ready for an enjoyable day’s outing.

The bus turned south onto Beach Avenue and was followed by two cars each containing two members of the Rotary club. At the Princeton Avenue traffic light the driver made a right hand turn and set a northerly course towards the first stop of the day.

After about an hour and a half, the

bus pulled into The Log Barn, just north of Armstrong, where the group was able to stretch their legs, buy some homemade sausages, pies, and other treats, or watch the goats climbing up the bridge to feed. On the bus once again the group continued north to the Marine/Rotary Park in Salmon Arm. Here they were given their boxed lunches, fruit and drinks, and went off to picnic in the beautiful lakeside park.

With lunches eaten and visiting with others on the trip completed, everyone climbed back onto the

bus, or into their cars and the group proceeded to Gort Farm and cheese factory.

Once there, everyone enjoyed the calf barn, which this year, housed a litter of puppies as well. Many people sampled the various Gouda cheeses that are made from the milk produced by the farm’s dairy herd, and quite a few purchases of the farm’s delicious cheeses were carried onto the bus at the end of the visit.

The final stop during the tour was at another lakeside park, this time in Lake Country. This was the time for all participants, Rotarians and Cal to celebrate all the birthdays that had occurred since the last trip. A large cake, which was beautifully decorated to depict some of the highlights of our outing, was unloaded from the bus and Irma, our most senior guest, did the honours by making the first cut. Rotarians made sure that everyone enjoyed a

Dinner and a jazz show CHRIS BYRD

PEACHLAND COMMUNITY ARTS COUNCIL There are still tickets available for this Saturday’s, April 28, Jazz Quartet Concert at the Peachland Art Gallery at 5 p.m. followed by dinner at the Gasthaus on the Lake Restaurant.

Past concerts have always radiated a good amount of rhythmical energy leaving the audience carrying the beat along with them.

The magic of jazz of course is that it is impro-

visational and so each player interprets a piece independently but always keeps in harmony with the underlying melody. This freedom lends itself to the imagination of young players — sometimes there can be moments of totally unexpected inspiration.

Tickets to the Jazz Concert are available from the Peachland Art Gallery (Tel: 250-767-7422) or email: gallerycoordinator@peachlandarts. ca.

Hope to see you there!

After the “birthday party”, everyone settled back for the last leg of the tour and enjoyed singing some old favourite songs.
