BIG RIG BUST – Above is the tractor trailer that was being operated by an allegedly

drunk driver.

DAN WALTON

EDITOR

A trucker provided the RCMP with breath samples that were more than double the legal alcohol limit after someone called 9-1-1 to complain about his erratic driving.

The called came in to the West Kelowna detachment on June 11 at 8:45 p.m. when somebody witnessed a fully loaded commercial B-train tractor trailer unit swerving along the 3500 block of Carrington Road.

“An officer quickly caught up with the commercial vehicle, later determined to be hauling in excess of 100,000 pounds of lumber, in the area of the Auburn Road industrial park,” the RCMP reported.

In the officer’s interaction with the commercial vehicle operator – a 41-yearold man from Surrey, he detected signs of possible alcohol impairment. A roadside breath sample resulted in a fail. The driver was then demanded to provide another sample. He was then taken to the Kelowna RCMP detachment where his breath samples were recorded in excess of two times the legal limit.

“The RCMP wish to thank those motorists who called in to report the erratic driving behaviour,” Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey said. “It is as a result of the actions of those concerned members of the motoring public and the officers at the scene that may have averted a tragedy and saved someone’s life this weekend.”

The driver was charged and is expected to appear in court on Sept. 12.

Any witnesses who haven’t yet spoken to police are asked to contact Cst. Kent Hall of the West Kelowna RCMP at 250768-2880. *** A motorcyclist wiped out while he was trying to pass a white SUV last Sunday in West Kelowna and police want to speak with the owner of the SUV. It was June 11 at 1:53 p.m. when emergency crews responded to a collision where two Harley Davidson’s struck each other along Highway 97, just north of Horizon Drive.

“Police have learned that the lone operator of a brown Harley Davidson motorcycle had been in the process of overtaking a white SUV, to merge into the southbound lanes of the highway from the Westside Road overpass, when the crash occurred,” according to the RCMP. The operator of a brown Harley Davidson is a 67-year-old Lake Country man who sustained serious injuries.

He was taken by ambulance to the hospital and remained there as of Tuesday. Riding on a black Harley Davidson were a man and woman, both from West Kelowna, who sustained minor injuries from the collision.

They were assessed and released at the scene by paramedics.

Police are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the owner of the white SUV, as the driver may have valuable information to add to the ongoing investigation. Contact the West Kelowna RCMP by calling 250-768-2880. *** Tricksters pretending to work for the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) have been

shaking people down for fictitious debt, the RCMP are warning.

The scammers are reportedly using aggressive and forceful language – threatening jail, charges and deportation – to scare victims into handing over money. Suspects usually demand immediate payment by credit card or a prepaid credit card.

RCMP are reminding people that the CRA does not accept prepaid credit cards, Interac e-transfer payments or iTunes gift cards; people should be familiar with their CRA account before settling any apparent debt; the CRA will never ask for information about someone’s passport, health services card or driver’s licence; and the real CRA doesn’t leave personal info on voice mails.

Anybody who thinks they may have given private information to a scammer should contact Equifax and Trans Union to place fraud alerts on their accounts, as well as their financial institution.

Anybody who is contacted by a scammer should simply hang up, police recommend.

Only those who have been victimized should report scams to the RCMP. For those who are unsure, the legitimacy of a CRA agent can be verified by contacting the CRA directly at 1-800-959-8281.

Receipts equal raffle tickets in Peachland.

As high waters cause challenges around town, business owners are noticing significantly fewer sales. As a response, four big tourism outfits have teamed up to sweeten the deal of shopping in Peachland.

Beach Ride Rental Co., Winelicious Tours, Eagles Nest B&B and Papa Thom have pooled together big-ticket prizes to entice more people to shop in town. Despite the added incentive to shop locally, the waters haven’t caused any local shops or restaurants to stop functioning.

Lyse Collins, owner of Winelicious, said it’s still business (almost) as usual.

“As far as businesses are concerned, the flooding isn’t the biggest problem, the biggest problem is the misinformation,” she said.

Collins has noticed the “last-minute customers” that would frequently book with her in the past aren’t around this year. Clients from Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton and Vancouver are noticeably absent.

“I don’t know if tourists are postponing their trips to Peachland or just cancelling outright

Revised library to open on June 20 VIEW STAFF The next chapter of the Peachland Library begins on June 20.

The building has been fixed up with new walls, windows, carpet and furniture.

Our spirits are high, and we can’t wait to see you in the Library.” said Michal Utko, communications manager with Okanagan Regional Library.

The June 20 opening comes nearly a week ahead of schedule thanks to the dedicated work of the staff, suppliers and contractors.

There will be a few missing teeth in the beginning as some of the furniture won’t be arriving right away, but the OLR says

PAUL GRAYDON

it’s vital to resume services as soon as possible.

“Since the incident that forced the Library to close, Peachland residents and the community have expressed their need for the branch to re-open,” said Utko.

That incident was an SUV smashing through the front wall of the building. The cause of the crash left many in the community perplexed because the police haven’t shared many clues as to why it happened. A 71-year-old

woman injured five people after penetrating the library’s exterior wall with all four of her vehicle’s wheels, but there’s no indication whether it was a mechanical or driver error. Police also haven’t yet decided to lay any charges.

and going somewhere else.”

In addition the the misconception that Peachland is underwater, it’s possible that problems along the Trans Canada Highway this last week in Revelstoke also contributed to fewer visitors.

An employee of Bliss Bakery said even though they’re fully operational, they still field around six calls each day from customers asking if they’re open.

By deterring people from enjoying water sports, the high lake levels are what is likely having an impact on Beach Ride Rental, and a new owner just took over earlier this year.

So, between now and July 1, those who simply shop anywhere in Peachland can be entered into a big draw. To get in on the fun, just bring receipts to the Visitor Information Centre.

Prizes include a one-night stay at Eagles Nest, Winelicious tour for two, four rental items for two hours each from Beach Ride Rental and a Papa Thom Sheppherd’s Pie Dinner for 14 (has to be redeemed within the Okanagan Valley).

One entry per receipt. All prizes are good until October 2018 to give winners over a year to redeem.

The draw will be held on July 1 during the Canada Day celebrations.

A rugby aficionado and former university professor with a penchant for the word “commonality” might just be the real winner of last month’s provincial election. There is no doubt that Andrew Weaver, leader of the BC Greens, holds the master key to the door of the legislative chamber. With British Columbians having elected 43 Liberals, 41 NDPs, and 3 Green MLAs, Weaver, who was re-elected in his Oak Bay-Gordon Head riding, announced that his party would support the NDP in the legislature.

The Greens may have initially been receptive to the formation of a coalition government but that seemed to have fizzled. Perhaps holding the balance of power in a minority government scenario seemed more appealing and gainful to the Greens. Still, Weaver indicated negotiations with his two rivals were comprehensive and considerate, adding that he was “very, very close with both parties,” before finally striking a deal with leader John Horgan’s NDPs. For the time being, Premier Christy Clark’s Liberals will continue to govern, albeit tenuously as she and her caucus mull on the unpredictability and uncertainty associated with a minority government. It remains to be seen if she can enlist last-minute support from the Greens to pass a revised budget or a throne speech. What is certain is that British Columbians have no appetite for another trip to the polls.

Weaver could be placed under a huge microscope in the coming months. His leadership skills, I believe, will be doggedly scrutinized by the electorate. While he may view this as unfair, Weaver

realizes that an above-average performance by him during this session in the legislature could engender a handful of more seats for his party in the next provincial election.

There is no denying the Greens leader is an intelligent MLA who probably has an accumulation of creative and workable strategies at his disposal.

“There is so much commonality in this Legislature.” Weaver explains. “There are so many ideas that all parties share.”

One example of a common vision among the three political parties is a focus on expanding mental health and addiction services, particularly programs for youth addicts.

The NDP and Green Party support the creation of an addictions and mental health ministry, while the Liberals in their budget propose a $165 million injection into youth addiction and mental health programs.

We can’t, of course, place the onus of responsibility for legislative successes solely on one party leader and his two colleagues. But in a democratic society we can challenge them, just like we do with any political party, small or large.

No can predict with certainty the outcome of this 43-41-3 legislative permutation, including what the future holds for Clark, Horgan and Weaver.

In announcing his party’s proposed agreement with the NDP, Weaver explains, “We (want) to maintain a minority situation to show British Columbians that it can work.”

Weaver will soon have to put his statement to a test.

And that’s only a few days from now.

Dear editor:

It may seem odd to speak of tourism when Peachland is concerned with flooding, but the comments below have longrange implications, so I beg your indulgence.

Peachland is an amazing place to live, and it has a rich and legendary history to make it interesting to tourists, as well.

Unfortunately, the industries that made our history rich are no longer thriving – mining, lumbering, orchards, and packing houses. Our one remaining revenue generator for the community is tourism.

It seems to me that we can make Peachland an enticing destination, for reasons other than our natural beauty, our amazing boardwalk, our lifeguarded beach, our resort persona, and our wonderful shops, restaurants and marinas. The Visitor Centre is a great focal point for all tourist-related promotions.

In my opinion, we should make our history come alive for our visitors, as we demonstrate and relate stories about the Fur Brigade Trail, the search for gold that caused Peachland to be founded, the mine that caused our population to rise from 750 to 3,300 people, the paddlewheelers that plied the Lake, the interesting characters that helped us grow, etc.

The legendary Ogopogo is the starkest example of opportunity not being mined. Peachland is the home of the world’s most credible sea serpent, Ogopogo, and we are not exploiting this amazing phenomenom to any extent that impacts positively on tourism.

We have allowed Kelowna, for one, to grab this tourism attrac-

tion and make it theirs. Ogopogo Island, or Rattlesnake Island, as it is often called, is the acknowledged home of Ogopogo, and this island is right by Peachland.

Peachland Council, in 2000, passed a Motion to establish the entitlement of Peachland to use the mythical lake monster OGOPOGO for whatever purposes is deemed lawful, not excluding the reference to past legal use of the name OGOPOGO ISLAND, for the only island located in Okanagan Lake and across from the Peachland. It established “with absolute certainty that the waters of Lake Okanagan, within the vicinity of the District of Peachland, are the non-disputable home of OGOPOGO, the legendary lake creature. - - - from this day forth, Peachland BC is the home of OGOPOGO.” We should, in my opinion, take back this legendary beast, and exploit it to its fullest. For example, we could raise a statue with the legend stated thereon, we should sell books and gifts that are Ogopogo-related, we should tell the stories to our tourists, we should somehow get a paddlewheeler (or other boat) and take tourist trips to and around Ogopogo Island, we should offer rewards for validated sightings of Ogopogo, we should post a list of the many past sightings, etc. We have a world-class tourist attraction, and it is being squandered!

We need any or all of the District of Peachland, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Visitor Centre to develop an action plan to recapture this invaluable resource!

OPINION

Readers come to the defence of insurance company Well now Dan. Your little blurb in the June 2 View was completely inflammatory, no pun intended.

What you SHOULD have said before printing your emotional and somewhat unworldly note is, “it certainly is too bad that Mr. Busato forgot to mention his legal grow-op to his broker, because then they could have found him a special risk market to cover that”.

It is NOT reasonable for insurance companies to willy nilly pay people when they “forget” to tell them that they have a welding shop in their attached garage, a “legal” growop, or that they are waxing and tattooing in their basement! Do you think it is reasonable that I pay $800 a year for my regular old insurance on my regular old house and so do those people, who are crossing their fingers that nothing happens where they will be found out??? Insurance premiums are based on risk. A 25 year old non smoker pays less in life insurance than a 63 years smoker with high blood pressure, that is just common sense in the life insurance biz.

I retired 3 years ago after 41 years in the insurance brokerage business.

Whether you believe me or not,

I can tell you in that entire time, I had only seen ONE other total loss denied and for a similar reason, similar in that the contract between the insured and the company had been voided by a serious misrepresentation or a non-disclosure, one that the insurer was not in the business of providing. There are insurance companies that only do commercial insurance, or farms or boats, so should they be called callous or cruel because you want them to cover your vacation rental or your grow op? If you went to Quality Greens and they couldn’t sell you a prime rib roast, would that be cruel or callous or just their niche?

There are many conscientious people out there who pay more each year for extra coverage because they tell their broker everything, but there are more who forget and then there are a few out and out liars. (have seen claims paid where I gnashed my teeth, because I was sure there was some out and out fabrication, but no way to prove it) For those like the Busatos, who didn’t realize they had to tell the broker, it is a hard and horrible way to find out this way,

Dear editor, Are you ever objective and factual when publishing so-called news? Why exactly would it be reasonable for Gore Mutual to sanction Mr. Busato for violating the terms of the policy?

The issue is not a matter of a legal grow operation, and based on your own article his policy makes no reference to legal or illegal.

In my humble opinion, before you embarked on your rail against Gore Mutual and corporate greed, did you consider engaging in actual investigative reporting?.

Did you ask Mr. Busato if his insurance agent enquired as to whether he was conducting a grow operation. Furthermore, did the insurance agent specifically bring the policy exclusion to his attention.If the agent did neither, I would suggest there

there is no doubt, it makes me feel sick inside, because something could have been done. It also makes an attending adjuster or the broker feel horrible and helpless, believe me. As a possible solution for others who have these legal operations, I feel that when an individual is granted a legal grow-op licence, the governing body should ask them to provide proof of VALID insurance in exchange for the licence, and in this way, these individuals can understand the issue and be protected properly instead of assuming or forgetting to mention it. For one good example, Peachland requires proof of insurance for all dock and buoy owners and from all of their subcontractors.

I hope that, considering your passionate article, any community members wanting to advertise fundraisers can get some free adverts. and maybe a Go Fund donation from the View or you personally, as I believe one has been started and I hope that the longer, quite factual article continued on Page 11 generates a lot of support for this family.

might be a case of negligence.

Notwithstanding, Mr. Busato entered into a legal contract with Gore Mutual and accepted the policy.I think it is reasonable to conclude, he did not read it!

It is also obvious from the Gore Mutual’s response, that had they been aware of the grow operation, they would have declined to insure the house, as they do not provide home insurance to anyone with marijuana grow operations.

So Mr. Walton, are you proposing that Gore Mutual ignore their policy conditions and underwriting standards, and then charge a penalty, that would not only satisfy you, but would also demonstrate that they had not been “extremely callous and cruel?”

compassion from the corporate community.

A Peachland couple just lost their home.

They’re the underdog in this situation and they could use our help. The giant insurance company will probably survive an opinion column from a

small town newspaper.

And Gore Mutual was given the opportunity to balance the story by explaining things from their side but they chose not to, ignoring several of my questions and giving only brief generic statements.

I appreciate the

Well, I must say that I am pretty disappointed about your comment re “legal” grow op claim denied.

I wonder, did you contact any other insurers and ask them if the claim would have been paid? Have you checked with the governing body for medicinal marijuana licenses to see what the compliancy rules are? If so, did you determine that this particular situation was in compliance? Without going into specifics about this particular claim, here’s what I do know. I personally have written legal medicinal grow ops in Peachland. I had to get photocopy of the clients license from government. I had to get photocopy of their personal use license.

I could only write it with one company, it had to be in a detached structure, I had to take pictures to ensure there were only the amount of plants allowed under the governing rules, I had to go back every six months and take pictures to prove they were not contravening any of the regulations set forth.

That lasted two years and the ONE company I had, decided they were not going to write these risks any longer. It has been at least five years since I have seen any of our insurers write grow ops, legal or not.

I take great exception to a major headline with one of our insurers name plastered across the front of our paper. A company that has been in business in Canada since 1839!. Who, by the

way, I have been insured with for over 30 years. The headline was inflammatory, caused undue concern with local Gore Mutual clients.

Using the words callous and cruel, corporate greed?

Does your paper have contracts with clients? Do both parties have to abide by the contract? The same holds true to an insurers contracts with their insureds.

I challenge you to do your research, make some calls and find out if there is any company or broker out there that would or could have written this type of risk with full disclosure.

Our insurers are entitled to know the risk they are taking on, charge accordingly , or decide not to write. Every insurer will pay a claim even if something was not disclosed, provided they would have accepted the risk to begin with.

I feel you have smeared the name of an upstanding company, as well as us as a brokerage that represents them. These are my personal views, I do not plan to respond publicly as I feel it impossible to defend the insurers decision without sounding unsympathetic to the client that suffered the loss. I have extreme empathy for their family.

I expect to see the letter to editor dated June 7 from Lorraine Bergman published, unless you prefer to leave the public with your own uninformed opinion?

Respectfully, Name withheld

Rotary:

Upon sober second thought The decision on behalf of Gore Mutual to deny Anthony Busato his insurance claim was extremely callous and cruel. Although the company acted within the confines of the law, a local family has been devastated by their inhumane practice.

Gore Mutual imposed a penalty that was completely out of proportion to the risk a legal grow-op presented. Especially considering the growup in question had absolutely nothing to do with the cause of the fire. Even though a contract was voided, we should demand a higher degree of

Dear editor:

feedback but it wasn’t very persuasive. I still find it wrong to be apathetic about a family losing their home so that a bunch of shareholders can have a few extra dimes.

OPINION

Members of the public called upon to help promote Peachland Dear editor: Support your local businesses!

Our local businesses need your support now more than ever, help them to get through this rough time and visit our restaurants, shops and other businesses.

Take your kids out for a nice lunch or dinner, celebrate a special occasion or invite your friends and family to spend some time and money at Beach Avenue.

Follow the Peachland Chamber example and use social media to get the word out that it is business as usual. Post

some nice pictures or leave a supporting comment.

As a Chamber our mandate is to help our businesses and we did!

A few weeks ago we rented a billboard at the Mall location and put the following message on it; “Restaurants and shops on Beach Avenue are open for business” Our sponsored social media posts got thousands of hits and got the word out that every downtown business was open and ready to serve you with the excellent customer service they are known for.

Press releases were send out

to all media outlets.

We also suggested to the District of Peachland to remove the misleading signs on the highway, we were notified later that day that they would be removed.

One of our biggest events is coming up soon, the Canada 150 celebrations on July 1st.

YOUR TICKET TO GREAT

ENTERTAINMENT!

That day Peachland will be filled with music from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Gateway (Bliss) and from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Heritage Park.

Plan to spend Canada Day with family and friends on Beach Avenue.

These Canada Day Concerts are organized by your

local Peachland Chamber and sponsored by the District of Peachland, Peachland Chamber and local businesses.

We would like to thank our residents for their ongoing support!

Patrick Van Minsel Executive Director

Member of Parliament checks in from the hill DAN ALBAS

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT

As some of you may recall recently I wrote about the subject of escalator taxation that was being introduced by the Liberals. Escalator taxation is when a tax will increase every year by default at the rate of inflation that would not be annually determined or debated by democratically elected Members of Parliament.

In this current case the tax escalator would be set on most beer, wine and spirits sold in Canada along with user fees in other areas. The concern of course is that this is a slippery slope that if left unchallenged may lead to other taxes also quietly receiving annual escalators set by unelected department officials in Ottawa.

Reaction to my report on this subject was overwhelming with many concerns expressed and

strong opposition. Comments such as “taxation without representation” were common and some pointed to the loss of many well-paying jobs when the former Hiram Walker plant near Kelowna shut down the last time an escalator tax was used and applied to spirits in Canada.

As one Senator describes it “If the government wants to increase the excise duties on alcohol, which is completely legitimate, then it should do so manually every year, in every budget. Automatic increases don’t take into account the state of the economy”.

While many welcome this potential intervention by the chamber of “sober second thought” and point to this as a reason why the Senate exists others are quite strongly opposed. Those who disagree have expressed concerns that an un-elected Senate has no business amending legislation put forward and passed by a democratically elected House.

All stem cell procedures are NOT the same Dear editor:

JULY 8

SEPTEMBER 16

OCTOBER 21

JANUARY 27 - FEBRUARY 4 2018

If you are contemplating getting stem cell therapy I urge you to do your research.

I am in the process of my stem cell therapy, but before I started it I did a lot of research. I found out that not all doctors use the same procedure.

The reason I was compelled to write this is because of a doctor from Washington State recently took out several full-page ads in Penticton, Kelowna, West Kelowna, Kamloops, and Vernon newspapers. He sent his marketing people up here to do about twenty, ninety-minute information seminars about stem cell therapy. This felt like big business to me so after some more research I found out that this doctor does not do the most successful procedures.

One of the most successful procedures is where live, blood, fat and bone marrow is taken right from the patient.

Each one is then separately put into a machine where the living growth cells are separated from the cells that are not as useful. Once this is done they are injected back

into the patient. Ultrasound is used to find just the right spot where the cells will be most beneficial for healing.

In conducting my research, I found out that there is a doctor right here in the Okanagan area of Kelowna that does stem cell therapy. When I researched Dr. Pagdin, I found out that he took his training at North America’s top stem cell centre in Florida. I also found out that he does the live Stem Cell procedure as stated above. Some doctors do not end up injecting live cells back into the patient, so the procedure may not work.

I also researched Dr. Pagdin to see if there were any bad reviews and I didn’t find anything put positive comments.

He told me right up front that this procedure is still in the early stages and it is not guaranteed. I liked the honesty of this doctor. I found out through research that the success rate is very high.

The big reason I decided to try the stem cell was because I am in need of five different surgeries. At 72 years of age I didn’t want to spend the rest of my retirement years going for one surgery to another. I

didn’t want to put up with the long waiting for the surgery itself then having the long healing afterwards. With the stem cell procedure, I was able to do my two knees and hip all at the same time.

The procedure is fairly non-invasive. It was a little uncomfortable but bearable.

The procedure was done in three hours. There are two more forty-five minute appointments in the next two months where just my live blood is injected back into me.

The healing will take time since my body has to heal itself with the healthy new living growth cells. The full effect is not expected until 6 to 9 months have passed, but I should start to notice some improvement in the next few weeks.

Yes, I have to pay for the procedure myself, since medical won’t cover it, but if this saves me even one surgery it will be well worth the $6,500.

Just make sure to do your own research and choose a good doctor if you plan on getting stem cell therapy.

I read in the June 9 issue that the Mayor is asking the residents to come and support the Beach Avenue local business owners.

I agree wholeheartedly, but am wondering where is the voice of the Peachland Chamber of Commerce?

Their spokesperson or President should be

out in front of all media, whether old school paper, and radio/ television or new age social media telling the tourists and residents of BC that come hell or high Water, Peachland is open for business!!!!

BOOGIE NIGHT – Disco Fever was the theme of the Peachland Rotary Club’s 2017 Gala. The fundraising event raised $6,500 for a number of charities, in addition to $2,500 for Polio Plus. A groovy time was had by all.

Fall Fair expecting hefty harvest DARLENE HARTFORD If you are thinking of trying somePEACHLAND FALL FAIR

It’s that time of year again. Gardeners have roto-tilled the beds, have mulched and composted, and are now eagerly waiting for Mother Nature to warm the earth so the grand adventure of planting can begin.

As masters of their unique universe, gardeners know that beans like warm soil and peas don’t mind cool and that a row of marigolds in the veggie patch will deter many insects. They know they should sow more seeds that needed remembering that old rule that you “sow one for the blackbird, one for the crow, one for the cutworm, and one to grow.” They have experienced first hand the age old miracle of tiny seeds becoming an amazing crop of beautiful, edible vegetables. They are the beneficiaries of so many traditional hints and tips that have been handed down from generation to generation and from actual experience with previous year’s triumphs and disasters.

Which brings us to this year’s Fall Fair theme – “Canada’s Proud – Harvesting Traditions.” It may seem strange to some to be mentioning the Fall when Spring has barely arrived, but gardeners need to plan ahead for their entries in “Section E – Vegetables, Eggs and Honey.”

Many of this season’s seed catalogues have highlighted “Heritage” seeds and are also declaring that “to the best of their knowledge, their products are non-genetically modified” – an important point for traditional gardeners. The choices and descriptions along with the amazing variety of vegetables and herbs available are almost overwhelming to the average gardener.

thing new (or even exotic) and you don’t see a category for it in the Fall Fair booklet, Section E does have a catch-all category – E19, Gourmet Vegetables.

Speaking of Section E categories, there are also two special $10 prize categories – E10, Comic Figure made with vegetables and herbs. You don’t have to be a gardener to enter this one, you can buy your vegetables from a BC Farmer’s Market or get them from a friend or neighbour and let your imagination run wild. This is definitely a fun category! The other prize category – E53, Vegetable Collection requires 6 different varieties of vegetables with three of each variety. An example might be three potatoes, three carrots, three onions, three beans, three tomatoes and three peppers. This category is super for the small garden or those who maintain a plot in a community garden or even the average gardener who may find it easier to find three perfect tomatoes rather than 6, or three wax beans instead of 12. Something to think about!

A little reminder to all gardeners first starting out or well-seasoned, a little spading, hoeing and weed pulling never hurt anyone’s waist line! Pulling a grassy weed that is about to strangle a young carrot seedling is an act of kindness that is sure to be rewarded. So gardeners are not only Traditional Harvesters, they are Super Heroes too!

For more information on hundreds of other categories, please see our 98th annual Peachland Fall Fair booklet, available free of charge, at many local outlets and/ or our wonderful website at www. peachlandfallfair.ca .

See you at the Fall Fair.

Pet of the Week

Email a picture and description of your pet to admin@peachlandview.com

A good neighbour Four big boxes full of food and a $6,300 cheque were just donated to the local food bank thanks to the efforts of Troy Fischer and his collaboration between local business leaders.

Fischer collected some of the money by offering shuttle rides by donation during World of Wheels in May. More money was raised through the paper shredding event that he sponsors, and help also came from Kelowna Ford Lincoln, Karens Place Hair and Body Works, Lakeside Notary and Verico Compass Mortgage Group.

“I’m a firm believer that if you live, work, raise your kids in our small community you should get involved and give back in our small community, support local businesses and help where you can,” Fischer said.

“Peachlanders love to support their own and help wherever we can!”

PEACHLAND WELLNESS CENTRE Spring has arrived with a vengeance! The Peachland Wellness Centre (PWC) hopes everyone is fairing well with the flooding the community is experiencing. We are very grateful for the many people working so hard to protect our beautiful community.

PWC, like others in the community, are open for business. However the Jerry Dober Sunday Breakfast has been suspended until further notice. The upstairs space has been reorganized to accommodate everything that was in the now flooded basement. We were very fortunate to have had help from some of our own volunteers as well as a group of volunteers from TNI, The Network Inc. Thanks to all these great people who stepped up and emptied the basement in a matter of a few hours we have not lost anything other than the flooring and wall boards. The flooded basement has meant staff have had to be relocated and double up in upstairs offices as well as using the boardroom of the building Pantone Version Black Version Pantone=195C C=0 M=0 Y=0 K=100 next door for more of the programs and groups.

Spring is always a time to celebrate the success of the past year and ‘flood or not’ there will be a spring wrap up again this year. Many programs take a break in the summer and wind down their last sessions throughout the month of June. This year the spring wrap up will be an opportunity to celebrate Canada 150 with a Garden Party in the new, beautiful gardens. This special event gives an opportunity for funders, participants, volunteers and staff to come together and socialize at a buffet luncheon, which includes entertainment by the Peachland Wellness Centre’s very own, Sunshine Singers and the Intergeneration Choir, made up of some of the Sunshine Singers and the Peachland Elementary K/1 classes as well as the locally, famous Papa Thom.

Watch the weekly events in the View for updates on PWC programs and services over the summer. Programs and Services that do not take a break include Bereavement, Meditation, Tai Chi, Transportation, Friendly Visitor, Outreach, and Better at Home as well the office stays open from 9am to 3pm, Monday to Friday.

CRIMINAL RECORD?

Private Space Available

It is with sadness we announce the passing of Mary Dresler, 85, on May 30, 2017, following a very brief battle with cancer. She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Kathy (Grant), Jim (Rita), Terry (Leigh) Jack (Grace), Sandra (Daryl) and her many grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Born in Regina on December 13, 1931, Mary lived on a farm and yes, walked to school uphill in a blizzard, ....both ways!

Peachland became home in 1975 until a recent move to Summerland. Mom enjoyed camping, fishing, gardening, painting and crafts. She was a great listener and will always be remembered for her open door and cold beer.

Long or short term rentals are available

She will be forwever loved and missed by all of her family and friends. RIP Mom J
