CMYKIt’s back! Th e signs are all there. It hit

home for me this past week while I was doing an announcement at one of Western Canada’s largest technical institutes. Th is post secondary training college graduates about 25 per cent of all of the completed apprentices going into a wide range of professions and occupations right across the country.

What they were telling me was good news, but not without its challenges. Th e administration and faculty reps said it was starting to look like déjà-vu all over again. Th e demand for all types of trades is unmistakeably surging upwards again. Th ey said it reminded them of the pressure they felt at the time of major employee shortages a few years ago.

It wasn’t that long ago. You remember. Demands for qualifi ed help or for those willing to be trained was so high that many fast food outlets couldn’t keep open their usual hours because they simply couldn’t fi nd the people.

I’m not saying we’re there yet. Th ere are still many people looking for work. But the strength of the economy is evident everywhere. All I have to do is refl ect on some of the events I was involved in this week.

Just last week I attended the opening of a huge new production facility in Okanagan Falls. Structurlam makes value added wood products that are used here and around the world. If you’re wondering what kind of projects they do, think Richmond Olympic skating oval…that breathtaking magnifi cent roof superstructure. Th ey did that.

Sometimes we aren’t aware of the amazing workers and technicians that we have right here in our own backyard. (Th ey also have a plant in Penticton.)

I was there this week to announce that they were the successful recipients of research dollars in the ongoing development of the next generation of laminated wood beams. Some of you fi nd that exciting. Others of you are about to nod off thinking about it. Well, hold on. Before I lose you, think about earthquake proof high-rise buildings, an apartment or offi ce tower up to 25 stories

high that is held up by resilient, shockabsorbing laminated beams and girders. Th edemand for the people and the product isstrong. And we have what it takes right hereto supply that demand.

Another sign of our growing economy wasevident at the annual Hong Kong businessdinner in Vancouver this week. As minister

for the Asia Pacifi c it was anhonour to bring remarks to thesold-out event. Th e mood in theroom was clearly optimistic.And it was optimism based on

hard facts, not simply hope.Agriculture and energy producers were

there, talking about what appears to be long-term growth and demand numbers. Aft erall, as the middle class continues to grow atan amazing rate and people move annuallyout of poverty by the tens of millions peryear in China, India and other previouslyimpoverished nations the demand fromthem for every type of product imaginablewill only increase. We are very well placedto meet those demands and see our ownlevels of standard of living and prosperityrise in the process.

Westbank First Nations continue to seeeconomic growth. Th is week I was withChief Robert Louie for the announcementof a construction project that will upgradea number of homes on WFN lands. Th atmeans there will be a need for trades andbuilding supply products. More jobs, moresales, more economic growth.

An international meeting of private andpublic sector transportation companies withtop people from around the world also tookplace here (Vancouver) to look at the growthneeds in transportation arising from ourgrowing economy. As I said, the signs of jobcreation and investment are everywhere. Wewill continue to work on the types of policythat will keep this momentum going.

On another note we can be proud of whatCanada is able to off er the world on twodiff erent counts this week. Th is week I hadthe honour of meeting with some of our fi nemembers of our Armed Forces. Canada hasbeen asked to provide soldiers, sailors, andfi ghter pilots to assist with other UnitedNations countries in subduing the Libyan

dictator in his ongoing assault on his own people.

Once again, as we have done throughout history, our Armed Forces will step up to protect those who are being slaughtered by the forces of dictators. As usual, I expect we will hear good reports from others in foreign countries that will have the honour of serving with our Armed Forces.

Art Display & Food 4:00pm Music 5:00pmLauren Gault and her son were both able to attend the garage sale held to support Lauren while she battles brain cancer.

By Constance Roth

When Dr. Don MacRae and his col-leagues and staff at Peachland Dental heard that one of their own, Lauren Gault, was diagnosed with brain cancer, they knew they had to do something to help.

Gault runs the orthodontic practice at Peachland Dental and has been with the clinic for more than 10 years. “She is a key part of our dental practice and a dear friend,” Courtney MacRae says. “I guess it’s really that we’re more like family here than just co-workers. The whole staff quickly agreed we needed to do whatever we could to help.”

The staff held two fundraising events, including a dental day on Thursday and a garage sale on Saturday.

The dental day was an in-office fund-raiser in which everyone donned their neon “Team Lauren” shirts and went to work. Staff donated their time and all proceeds from the day went to Lauren and her family.

The garage sale held on Saturday, July 26 was also a huge success.

“It was so nice to see how much en-couragement we had from our com-munity, as well as people that have not even met her. People donated more than just money, whether it was garage sale items and baked goods or volunteering time and sending positive thoughts our way. The weather cooperated, and our special guest, Lauren even made an ap-

pearance,” Tanya Fisher said. Micaela Gibson also participated in

the garage sale and was pleased with the result. «When Lauren attended our garage sale, she was overwhelmed and moved by everyone›s support and dona-tions,” Gibson said. “I spent most of the day acting as cashier and I was amazed at the donations people were making.»

«Lauren has been remarkably strong and incredibly positive through this. Seeing her on Saturday reminded us of this,» Annette Huberdeau shared.

«Lauren’s smile is greatly missed. She has an infectious laugh that radiates throughout the office,» fellow staffer Cindy Wesszer says.

MacRae says that while they do not have a final tally yet, so far the garage sale alone raised $10,000.

“We are very thankful for all the sup-port we received from the community, friends, family and especially our pa-tients for these two fundraising events,” MacRae says. “A special thank you to all those that contributed, whether it was through donations of time, money, baked goods or garage sale items. All your emails and well wishes are being passed along to Lauren and are greatly appreciated. For those who were unable to make it out during this busy time, we will continue to accept donations at the office for Lauren and her family.”

“We all love Lauren and we want to do everything we can to help,” said Dr. Don MacRae.

Doing the right thing

BC government launches new initiative

Over the past decade citi-zens have become increasingly more involved in the political decision making process at all levels of government. Referen-dums, the alternate approval process (AAP), petitions, and more recently the initiative process have all been more frequently used tools to al-low citizens to become more involved and engaged in sup-porting or opposing govern-

ment policy and projects at all levels. Locally, issues such as water system upgrades, proposed parkland acquisition, recreational facility construction, law en-forcement, correctional facilities proposals and the current HST referendum are all examples of an ad-ditional democratic process being used.

While it is always important to gauge public opin-ion on new projects and policy, we must also not overlook how our existing tax dollars are being spent. I have often observed a passionate public response over the spending of a few million dollars towards a potential public project but few citizens seem as concerned about the added billions required annu-ally for health care and education, in spite of claims of underfunding. As taxpayers, you continue to pay more for services like health care and education and ultimately these increases are not sustainable over the long term.

Part of the challenge is that government does not make it easy for the average citizen to get the infor-mation they require to learn more about how and where our tax dollars are spent. Often if the infor-

Bill Barisoff, MLA - Commentarymation is not available online, it must be obtained through freedom of information (FOI) requests or through others areas of government administration. This needs to change. Fortunately, this past week, the BC government has launched a new initiative called Open Data BC. This is the first program of its kind in Canada. It is intended to provide taxpayers with more information than ever before and with faster,

easier and less costly access.Currently the beta site is located at data.gov.bc.ca

and already over 2,500 different data sets are avail-able online, with more being added as they become available. Another site that may be of interest is open-info.gov.bc.ca. Opening up this information will help people make informed decisions, conduct research, analyze statistics and develop applications.

ing the Canadian Senate would require a constitution-al amendment and the consent of a strong majority of Canadian provinces. Although some provinces have voiced support of Senate abolishment, other provinces have voiced strong opposition to such a plan.

Rather than abolishment, Senate reform is another avenue currently being pursued by government. Sen-ate reform would also include adding democratic accountability into the process as senators could in-stead be elected into the upper house for a fixed term of nine years. This would replace the current decades old practice of near lifelong political appointments made by the government of the day. Currently, Alber-ta stands as the only province that has put a process in place to elect nominees for the Senate. Should ad-ditional provinces, such as British Columbia, adopt the recently introduced Senate Nominee Election Act, a private members bill authored by Chilliwack MLA John Les, BC could have elected representation from

BC in the Red Chamber.For those of you not familiar with our parliamen-

tary practice, currently a bill proposed in the House of Commons requires first reading, second reading, com-mittee stage, report stage, and third reading. Assum-ing passage after third reading, the bill is then forward-ed onto the Senate, where it must then make passage through the senate and receive approval before the bill can get royal assent from the governor general and become law. It should also be pointed out that even though not currently elected, the Senate can also table bills that would be required to undertake a similar pro-cess (with the exception of spending bills that must originate in the House of Commons). It is unclear at this point how other provinces will respond to Senate reform and it is a topic I welcome your input on.

I would like to take a moment to voice my support for the leader of the opposition Jack Layton in his courageous battle against cancer.  My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Layton and his family for a full and speedy recovery during this difficult time.

Editor’s Perspective

By Constance RothPublisher ∙ peachlandview@shaw.ca

Our pound baby

Last weekend there was a special fi shing day at Heritage Park. The fi shing for trout was once amazing at that site. Taken in about 1950 on 3rd Street we see Tom Redstone holding a lovely pair of Kamloops Trout caught in front of Peachland. They look to be in the 15 - 20 pound range. Red-stone’s built the Chevron Garage which is today Rocky J’s Coffee. In the background is the View newspaper building as it was back then. Redstones home is today the log part of the Gasthaus Restaurant.

Peek into the past

See more Letters to the Editor on Page 5-7

A couple weeks ago we received a call here at the Peachland View regarding an injured Shih Tzu that had been found.

I had been considering getting a second dog, as mine is lonely when we are away from home. Even though the Shih Tzu was injured, I decided to take him. After calling the regional dog pound facility in Kelowna, I was informed there was a 72-hour waiting period in which time the owners could claim the dog. If they did not claim the dog in that time, I would be given the opportunity to take it.

In the meantime, as the dog was injured, a vet was contacted. As the injury was severe and it was not believed he would survive even if they performed surgery, a decision was made to put the dog down.

I was very disappointed by this news and asked the pound if they had any other small dogs. I was informed they had another Shih Tzu, who they had been housing for a couple weeks, so I said I would be right there.

I made a brief stop at home to pick up my dog’s kennel so this new little guy would arrive home safely from the pound. When I met Oscar, (his name now, as we do not know what his original name was), I knew he would be coming home with me.

Oscar was full of energy and kisses. I took him and headed home.

He howled all the way from Kelowna to Peachland, but once we were in the door he quieted down and things began to look up. However, when Oscar met my dog Ralph, it seemed he hated him. All he did was growl at Ralph and try to bite him. I had to muzzle him so neither of them would get hurt. I did not know what I was going to do, except that he was not going back to the pound.

I consulted with my vet and he put me in touch with a trainer who came out to our house to see the dogs. The trainer, Lyndsay, was wonderful and she gave me some great advice. She showed me some tricks that I have since been following whole-heartedly.

When I went home for lunch this afternoon, both dogs were running around together. Oscar still growls and Ralph has learned to back off a bit, but neither dog was biting…much. In a couple more weeks I imagine they will be good friends.

To anyone who is looking at getting a pet, I highly recommend you check out both the pound and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA). They have many wonderful animals there that need your love.

P.S.: To the owners of Oscar, I am sorry you did what I guess you felt you had to. Just know Oscar will be well taken care of and loved. To everyone out there who has a pet they feel they can’t take care of, if you wish to give it away, I would be happy to run a free ad for you.

Dear Editor,

I have lived in many cities including London, England for one as well as Van-couver, BC for another and have driven through many small towns and villages in Europe and America.

In each of these places parking for a long or short stay was controlled with some degree of consideration to local residents, taxpayers and travellers.

But oh, Peachland, BC seems to ignore such conveniences for all concerned, be they tourists, residents, young, old, or disabled people.

While trying at least three times recently to gain access to the pharmacy and hardware stores, I drove around the block several times hoping to fi nd a parking spot somewhere on Beach Avenue or in a nearby back or side street. Finally, I had to give up and come back almost at closing time and it was still diffi cult to fi nd a spot. May I suggest that there should be a parking time limit of 15 to 20 minutes posted on all the parking spots in this area? As well, perhaps a few more handicap parking spots could be added, particularly adjacent to the pharmacy and medical centre.

Dear editor,

We have been privileged to enjoy the Rotary Club’s Sun-day afternoon music in Heritage Park for the past three weeks. 

We have often driven to Kelowna or Penticton to partake in some of their summer musical events and are delighted to have the same opportunity here in Peachland. 

We want to say a resounding thank you to the Rotary Club for sponsoring this, and urge everyone in Peachland to come out and support this endeavour (and no, we do not belong to the Rotary Club). 

There are three more concerts scheduled (August 7, 14 and 21) so we hope to see you there. 

Again, thanks to all those who make this possible.

Peach of a place to visitDear Editor,

My wife and I have just returned to Eng-land after a wonderful three-week holiday with family in Peachland. Peachland is indeed a ‘peach’ of a place and we have made seven visits over the past 11 years, making it our favourite destination.

We really love the evident community spirit and abundance of activities for all ages. Canada Day - our second on holi-

day - was memorable, and I was delighted to take part in the Beach Run, apparent-ly managing a second place in the 65-69 men’s 5 km walking race! And, yes, the choir, dancers, parade and fi nally the su-perb fi reworks display that rounded off the evening impressed us.

My early morning walks missed sight of the bears - especially as Dryden Road was one of my routes - but mostly took in the fi ne scenery along Beach Avenue.

As usual, my camera was in hand and I have attached a photograph, which you might consider for publication. If you would like me to submit more I would be pleased to do so.

We are looking forward to our next visit already.

Yours sincerely,Bob Campbell, Worcester, England

Gearing up for the 92nd annual Peachland Fall Fair

By Lorraine MacTavish and Martha Jenkins

For a presentation of the best autumn bounty Peachland has to offer, don’t miss the 92nd annual Peachland Fall Fair, which will be held this fall from September 10 - 11.

The heat of the summer may arrive later this year, but it is never too early to start thinking about entering your best jams, jellies and preserves into the fall fair. You can enter canned apricots, cherries, peaches and pears, as well as jams, jellies and marmalades. Your best preserve entries could in-clude almost anything, such as antipasto, pickles, relishes, salsas chutneys, juices or tomatoes.

This year, the specialty category for preserves is gourmet entry in can-ning. Specialty category entries must include an attached recipe and an emphasis on presentation.

All jars will be opened and evaluated. Entries will be judged by appear-ance, colour, texture, fl avour and bouquet. All jars must be sealed using new lids (except freezer jams). No metal containers will be accepted for entry.

For more contest and section details, including points and prizes award-ed, you can visit the District of Peachland website at Peachland.ca and follow the link to the 92nd annual Peachland Fall Fair, or you can pick up a copy of the Peachland Fall Fair booklet at the Chamber of Commerce or numerous businesses in town. Questions about the baking and preserve section can be directed to Martha Jenkins at 250.767.9461 or Lorraine MacTavish at 250.767.6353.

Dear Editor,

I would like the opportunity to address the letter to the editor from Pete Wenham, Peachland from the July 22 edition.

First of all Pete, since I am assuming that you are a new resident of Peachland, I will give you a brief history of Dancin’ Barefoot Music Festival. The event was founded by Peachland resident Terry MacGillivray. Terry and his wife, Valerie have been Peachland residents for almost 20 years. Terry believed in this town and be-lieved in the Okanagan Valley’s musical talent. He was an Elvis Presley tribute artist and had his own band, The Regals.

One of the many things he loved was hosting an annual New Year’s party in Peachland that everyone thoroughly enjoyed and looked forward to attending.

My mother, his wife of 40 years, helped him organize everything including the fi rst Dancin’ Barefoot in the Park in 2007. He wanted a venue to showcase Peach-land, the local talent and youth. Sadly, he passed away suddenly in 2008 of a heart attack. It was Valerie’s love for her husband and the city of Peachland that drove her to continue this wonderful community event.

For people around town, Terry was very well known and loved. He had over 500 people come to pay their respects at his funeral service. Valerie wanted to honour her husband’s legacy and put her widow fund into this event. How many people do you know that love someone that much they are willing to sacrifi ce and gamble their savings to a cause that is stressful, time consuming and a fi nancial burden?

This is a beautiful town with amazing supporters and residents that do believe

in what we are trying to accomplish and build. Last year we had Chilliwack as our headliner and had almost 2,000 people attending. They rocked the house! I didn’t read anything in the paper from you about last year!

Did the weather play a part? Absolutely! It poured twice in Peachland but in Kelowna, it was a constant downpour. People didn’t want to venture out because of the weather or they thought our event was cancelled.

As far as your comment about the price, $35 plus tax is cheap for a full evening of high caliber entertainment. It works out to be $6 per band. To give you an example of pricing, a one-day festival’s general admission starts at $50 per day! Artists that perform at Prospera start at $90 and you only get two hours maximum of perfor-mance. Maybe you are just cheap or just like to take cheap shots at the little people trying to accomplish something beautiful and classy.

It was a choice not to have that many vendors, as I don’t like to double up. This gives vendors the opportunity to make as much money as possible. Again, this is done in consideration to vendors and their revenue.

The reason we had a no in and out policy was to help monitor everyone so we could keep our residents and families safe. We are dissolving that rule for next year

as it caused too much grief. We also listened to our supporters and will have free admission for everyone to

watch the teen talent competition in the afternoon. By the way, we have started a charity in my late father’s name to assist young local artists with lessons and instru-ments called the T-Mac Music For Youth Charity.

Lastly, you may not know the bands that were performing before headliner, 54-40, but if you read their bio’s and listened to their music, they are accomplished, Juno Award winning musicians from the Okanagan Valley and I was proud to have them performing at my event. Maybe the artists didn’t get your “pulse raising” but quite frankly, it doesn’t sound like you even have a heart.

You have slandered my event inaccurately and have offended the hard working volunteers of Peachland, the loyal residents that come every year and the sponsors that support our event. To me, you are just a simple man with a small opinion or maybe you like to ride the “negative” train and kick people when they are down. Regardless, Dancin’ Barefoot Music Festival will continue slowly and steadfast as our passion and the supporters of Peachland keep us going. Looking forward to our 2012 event!

� COUNCIL MEETING HIGHLIGHTS - MARCH 22,2011

By Erin Boyes, District of Peachland

Water Rates Bylaw Amendments

Council gave fi rst, sec-ond and third readings to Water Rates Bylaw No. 1931, 2010 Amendment Bylaw Number 1981, 2011. This amendment brings the agricultural rate in line with the 2009 level from $0.04 to $0.10 per cubic meter, with no increase in any other rate category.

Earthworks Bylaw Amend-ment

Council gave fi nal recon-sideration and adoption to Earthworks Control Bylaw No. 832 Amend-ment Bylaw Number 1977, 2011. This amend-ment allows for landscap-ing businesses to be ex-empt from the permitting process.

Fees and Charges & Freedom of Information

and Protection of Privacy Bylaws

Council gave fi rst, sec-ond and third readings to both Freedom of In-formation and Protec-tion of Privacy Bylaw No. 1982, 2011 and Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1980, 2011.

These bylaws replace Freedom of Informa-tion and Administrative Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1632, 2001, thereby bringing administrative clarity of having two dis-tinct bylaws rather than one.

Offi cial Community Plan Bylaw Amendment – Vol-untary Amenity Contribu-

tion

Council gave fi rst and sec-ond readings to Offi cial Community Plan Bylaw No. 1600, 2001 Amend-ment Bylaw No. 1969, 2011 for the provision of including Voluntary Amenity Contributions. This funding mechanism will help the District to fund future amenities in the community. A public hearing will be scheduled prior to third reading.

Sign Bylaw Amendment

Council gave fi rst three readings to Sign Bylaw Number 1853 Amend-ment Bylaw Number 1980, 2011. This amend-ment will restrict applica-tions for full color digital message centers with TV motion.

Sidewalk Café, Merchant Display and Mobile

Vending Licenses and Encroachments

Council granted autho-rization for the Water-front Pizzeria and Grill to allow construction of a sidewalk patio from May 1- October 31, 2011.

A public consultation process will be under-taken in relation to side-walk café, merchant dis-play and mobile vending licenses and encroach-ments, including:

• Letters sent to down-town businesses with in-formation and invitation to attend a public infor-mation meeting

"Platoon, attention! Turn right in col-umns of three, quick march! Halt. Stand easy!" 

Yes, after some R&R, stand easy is back.

There have been some changes at Le-gion branch 69 in the past weeks. Now there are three meat draws, which you may attend. You may choose to drop by on Thursday, Saturday or Sunday or at-tend all three days to try your luck at winning the prize. Come in and join in the fun. A salute to Ruth Krentz for or-ganizing these events.

The new hours of operation for the summer are from 1100 hours to 2300 hours, including Sunday.

Saturday is entertainment night, when local talent takes to the stage. Peter Klinkenberg scours the area in search

of new talent. If you know someone or if you would like to be part of the entertainment, give the offi ce a call at 250.767.9100. Last week, Jim Ripley was the entertainer with a “guitaroke”. It was a fun night. This week Steel Buzz'n will appear for your listening and danc-ing pleasure. I hope to see you there. The entertainment will begin at 1900 hours. Of course, Karaoke with Anita will be held on August 6.  

The kitchen has a new face. Brian is the gent in charge. Daily specials will be created for eating in or for take out. Are you tired of making your own meals and eating the same old thing? Pop into the Legion and take home one of Brian's specialties to pop into the oven. Bingo, dinner is ready! Get some friends together, come down and enjoy a meal at the Legion.

For more information, visitwww.BCforestfi reinfo.gov.bc.ca

Stand easyperson of Ted Cave has been meeting on weekly basis. One of the purposes of the committee is to make branch 69 an in-teresting place for members and guests. If you have a suggestion, call the Legion offi ce or drop an email at rcl69@telus.net.

Speaking of email, the membership committee needs your email addresses. Some future correspondence will be done via email. Do we have your email address? Drop an email today to the Le-gion and we will add it to the list. Doro-thy Blair has been working very hard to get the membership list up to date.

Have you paid your dues? There are 78 members who have not paid. It is important to keep your dues up to date as the monies from the dues help the Legion to carry on its obligations. The membership also needs to know if a member is deceased or has moved to

another community. Many thanks to Dino Baisi of GROr-

chids of Peachland for his generous gift of fl owers. Everyone enjoys them; even the snooker players notice the bright co-lours on the tables.

In June, there was a Legion conven-tion held in Penticton. It included all the branches in BC and the Yukon, includ-ing members of branch 69. I will pro-vide more information on the conven-tion at a later date.

Yes, there is a mystery afoot in Peach-land. Perhaps, we do need the talent of Sherlock Holmes. Where is the fi nal resting place of WWI Veteran, James Robertson? Do you know? If you have any information pertaining to this puz-zle, please contact branch 69. Legion members take an oath, “We will remem-ber them”. Yes, we do.

Until next time.

Food For theSimply amazing

By Derek KochPeachland Campus Pastor Emmanuel Church

There’s a fascinating story in the Bible about a man named Naaman. Naaman was the commander-in-chief of the army of the King of Aram. He was a well-respected man. However, as he lived in a time before leprosy was largely controlled, he somehow contracted this dreadful disease.

On one of their raids, they took captive a young girl (no age indicated) who served Naaman’s wife. This young girl found out about Naaman’s leprosy and in spite of her own dire circumstances, had the heart to pass on advice to Naaman’s wife about how he could fi nd healing. She recommended that he go to a prophet (a spokesman for God) who lived in the country from which she had been taken. The prophet, named Elisha, performed miracles through the power of God and she was certain he could han-dle Naaman’s leprosy.

The details can be found in II Kings 5, but to make a long story short, Naaman and a number of servants ended up at Elisha’s door. Elisha sent a messenger to the door who told Naaman to wash in the Jordan River seven times. No ointment, no in-depth medical plan - just a quick dunk and he would be healed. The Jordan River had no healing proper-ties in it. He was to take a simple bath! Revealing his great arrogance, Naaman walked away angry be-cause he had expected Elisha to wave his hand over the leprous spot and pronounce him healed. And besides that, if he was expected to dunk in a river, there were a lot cleaner rivers than the Jordan River!

Wisely, his servants took him aside and told him that if he had been asked to do something great or complex, he would have done it. Why not do this simple task of washing in the Jordan seven times? Naaman relented, humbled himself, and walked into the Jordan. Sure enough, after seven dips his skin was completely restored. Naaman left the Jor-dan a new believer in God and returned to Elisha with great thankfulness.

For many people, the message of Jesus is too sim-ple. Receiving God’s grace and forgiveness when re-quested sincerely is just not acceptable to those who believe you get what you work for. History is full of bloodied knees, pinpricked skin, and diverse exam-ples of deprivation in humanity’s attempt to please a God that never required any such thing. The truth is that we can’t earn God’s love. We’ll never be good enough, strong enough, or clever enough. And yet, He loves us in spite of ourselves. The gift is free, the price paid. It takes humility and grace to receive it. The arrogant will never understand it. And yet, the rewards are unbelievable. We are promised a fulfi ll-ing life followed by an eternity with the One who has provided everything for us.

As Naaman’s servants spoke a wise word to their master, I similarly ask you today, will you accept the grace of God? If you’d been asked to do something complicated to receive it, you’d have done it. Why not simply accept for free what is offered? All you must do is ask.

Peachland Service Directory

By Judy Wyper

The Peachland Wellness Centre (PWC) is all about people helping people. It is a vital part of our town dur-ing the summer, even with the reduced hours of opera-tion from Monday to Thursday from 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. The Sunday breakfast continues from 8 to 10:45 a.m., except for statutory holidays.

The PWC links people to other services and helps them fi nd important information. During June, the of-fi ce staff fi elded 383 phone calls and dealt with 347 visitors. To help accomplish this, there are weekly vol-unteers. During June, these volunteers were Marjory Gove, Susan Driussi, Vince Boyko, Sherry Kendrick, Evie Swanstrom, and Cameo Butler.

Last month the transportation service arranged 31 rides for people who no longer can drive themselves. Most of the passengers needed to visit a doctor or go grocery shopping, and all of the drivers were local Peach-landers with a desire to help others. There is a suggested donation schedule based on destinations. New drivers

Street before she relocated to The Gateway as Ser-endipity Salon and Day Spa, which was later pur-chased by Erin Mocilac. Maggie returns to Peach-land working with Karen Gunnlaugson, owner of Karen’s Place. Maggie and Karen previously part-nered in the salon industry at Lovelocks.

Erin Mocilac is pleased to introduce new body lo-tions exclusively blended with essential oils for Ser-endipity. The variety of fi ve fragrances is as unique as their trendy names based on local attractions. Choose from the freshness of citrus in a Day at Beach Ave. to the earthiness of vanilla, rosemary, and mint in 100 Feet From Bliss. Lotions will soon be avail-able in 250ml or 60ml purse size but can be enjoyed now with services of Serendipity estheticians.

Registration for the Peachland Chamber of Commerce third annual golf tournament is fi lling quickly. Contact the Chamber offi ce soon to avoid disappointment. A portion of the proceeds of the Texas scramble tournament will be donated to the Peachland Boys and Girls Club for the continua-tion and expansion of local programs. There are two opportunities for a hole in one sponsored by John-ston Meier Peachland Insurance and Ponderosa-Treegroup. Larry Merchison (also known as Tribute

to Ed Sullivan) will be the auctioneer for great auc-tion items, which will include one week at Riverside Villas in Harrison Hot Springs, donated by Moe Martin Real Estate, a weekend getaway at The Cove Holiday Resort, boat rental package from Dockside Marine, as well as a half-page advertisement in the Peachland View. Each golfer will take home a prize; appreciation is extended to all businesses for prize donations. Registration will take place at 12:30 p.m. at Two Eagles Golf Course on Monday, August 22; the shotgun start will take place at 2 p.m. The Swing Analyzer will be on site during registration in preparation for the challenge.

Vandalism overnight, July 26Trail markers for the race were vandalized over-

night. It is important that the ribbons stay intact for the personal safety of riders, and to direct rid-ers back to the base camp. Cory Anthony, organizer for the race, on behalf of the Endurance Club, will work on repairing the trail damage but if repairs are not complete please leave ribbons where they are at this time. The Endurance Club is very responsible and understands the value of protecting the envi-ronment. They will clean up all markers and ribbons after the race on Sunday, July 31st.

The Wellness Centre: people helping peopleare always needed, so if you are interested, please drop by to fi ll in an application form. Criminal record checks are required.

Most of the social programs at the PWC take the sum-mer off to give the volunteer facilitators a break. How-ever, the meals to go, community gardens and bereave-ment programming will continue through the summer. Over the summer, the Tai Chi group meets in Heritage Square for the outdoor experience and resumes indoors in September.

Seniors outreach, an aging-in-place strategy, also con-tinues year round. The co-ordinator is retired RN Olive Fielding, who recently added seven new clients to her existing workload. These clients often require more fre-quent home visits, recordkeeping, and home phone calls. At any time, existing clients may fi nd themselves in need of extra services. In July, most of these needs have been for help caring for lawns and gardens, as well as help with housekeeping. One client needed a ride to hair ap-pointments. Another expressed an interest in a chair lift on her stairs. Olive researched this and discovered a local

businessman who repairs and installs refurbished lifts at a good price.

Seniors outreach aims to help people stay in their own homes for as long as it is wise, but there may come a time when it is prudent to move. Olive has visited many care facilities in the valley, has pertinent information and a list of questions and things to look for. Several different clients have recently consulted with Olive about this.

Sometimes the children of a client live in another town, province, or country. It brings them peace of mind to meet with Olive when they are here to discuss current needs and make decisions to begin services their parent needs to be able to stay in the family home. Olive’s pa-tience and approachable ways dispel many fears.

So, it’s summertime and the living is easy. The PWC is still “people helping people” and is available to help link people to the services or information they need. Re-member, we always need competent volunteers. Phone 250.767.0141, email wellnesscentre@shaw.ca or visit peachlandwellnesscentre.ca. You can also fi nd us on Facebook.

For the past 6 years, Roger Cyr has held an annual paper shredding day and offers Peachlanders the opportunity to purge their homes of unwanted papers by having them shred by Okanagan Paper Shredding. In exchange for this free service, he asks for a charitable donation to the Peachland Food Bank. Roger is also a major sponsor for the World of Wheels car show by providing shuttle buses to the grounds from the Peachland Village Mall. This again is a free service but asks for a voluntary spare change donation for the food bank as well. 100% of the cash and food raised at these 2 events are donated to the food bank and this year over $1,000 in cash and 20 bags of food were presented to Judy Bed-ford, Manager of the Peachland Food Bank. “Roger is one of the Food Bank’s major sponsors and we appreciate his support so much. Thank you, Roger!” Judy Bedford, Manager—Peachland Food Bank.

It’s Not Just About Selling Houses… Roger is committed to serving and promoting the community where he is proud to “Live, Work and Play”!
