Knowing Peachland DoesMake A Difference...

By Joanne Layh

The mood was warm and relaxed between Ponderosa de-veloper, Treegroup, and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI), with the announcement that MOTI has granted conditional approval for a third access from Highway 97 to Ponderosa, as well as numerous road up-grades in Peachland, including additional sets of lights.

The announcement came at the June 16 reconvened pub-lic hearing held again at the Peachland Community Centre. The public hearing began on May 26, but had to be ad-journed until a later date, pending approval of a third access. A third access to Highway 97 from the development site is a key requirement from the District of Peachland and without it the commitment between the District and the developer had been stalled.

“They’ve been very diligent since we last met, the Min-istry of Transportation and Infrastructure, they’ve been very cooperative and they’ve been very focused and what we’ve been able to come forward with I think is something that will be of benefi t to Peachland for many, many decades to come,

” Keith Funk of New Town Planning said. Council will give the zoning and offi cial community plan

bylaws relating to the Ponderosa/Pincushion development a third reading on June 22, which, if carried, will stand as a serious commitment between the District of Peachland and Treegroup. From there, weeks and probably months of nego-tiations will take place between the parties before the bylaws are fi nally adopted.

Two phases of proposed road upgrades were also present-ed at the public meeting, set to take place by 2015 and 2020, respectively.Road upgrades for phase 1 include:

• Princeton/Highway 97 – left turn phase added and light timing change;

• Development access – traffi c signal light;• Ponderosa/13th Street – consolidated access, traffi c

signal light, and localized 4-lane for turns;• Clements/Highway 97 – protected ‘T’ intersection with

left turn merge to Hwy 97; and • Highway 97 – widen to 4 lanes 200m West of Pon-

derosa to 300 m East of Clements.

Road upgrades for phase 2 include:• Princeton/Highway 97 – southbound right turn lane

50m, eastbound left turn signal phase and eastbound left lane of 200 m;

• Development access – 4-lane Highway 97 300m both ways;

• Ponderosa/13th Street – increase signal timing; and• Clements/Highway 97 – traffi c signal light.In an interview following the public hearing, the View

asked Okanagan Shuswap district manager for MOTI, Mur-ray Tekano, if the approval to increase Highway 97 in Peach-land to 4 lanes in some areas might be indicative of a greater plan for the highway in Peachland.

“These lanes are just there to accommodate the volume,” Tekano said. “If you look at the phasing, the way it’s pro-posed, you’ll understand that. The Ponderosa to Clements section, for example, is to allow for the traffi c to be able to queue at signals and perform properly and effi ciently leaving those signals. It’s got nothing to do with four-laning in that regard.”

MOTI grants conditional approval for third access and more lights

By Joanne Layh

Work on the Beach Avenue multi-use pathway (now called Centennial Way in honour of Peach-land’s recent 100th anniversary) is set to begin with a groundbreaking ceremony on Monday, June 21.

Join Mayor Keith Fielding, MLA Bill Barisoff and possibly MP Stockwell Day for the ceremo-ny, which will take place at Swim Bay between 10 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. The project contractor, Cantex Okanagan Construction Ltd., will also be on site to offer project information.

Those attending the outdoor groundbreaking event can also look forward to watermelon and cookies.

“We welcome members of the public to meet the

project team, learn about the project timing and help celebrate our vision for the future,” Mayor Fielding says. “The extension of the Beach Avenue pathway will enhance our unique beachfront com-munity, providing a scenic, safe and environmen-tally sound pathway along the length of Beach Av-enue.”

Peachlanders should be happy to know that none of the project will be funded through taxa-tion. Two-thirds of the funding will come from Federal and Provincial grants, while the remaining amount will be funded through Development Cost Charges (DCC’s).

Centennial Way will offer a 1.2 kilometre exten-sion to the existing pathway along the beachfront, which will include a green belt of plants and ener-gy-efficient lighting.

The majority of the pathway will be completed by November of 2010. Under the terms of the grant, the entire project must be complete by March 31, 2011.

On Thursday, June 10, a Boil Water Notice was is-sued by District of Peachland director of operations, Doug Allin. The notice followed readings of increased turbidity in Deep Creek over the previous night. Boil Water Notices are issued when there is a “poor” rating on the turbidity index.

When a boil water notice is issued, Interior Health recommends that all customers drink boiled water or a safe alternative until further notice.

Allin later lifted the boil water notice on Monday, June

14, returning the water quality to “fair” status, which means that drinking boiled water or a safe alternative is now recommended only for the following groups:

• Children;• The elderly;• People with weakened immune systems; or• Anyone seeking additional protection.For those groups, water intended for drinking, wash-

ing fruits or vegetables, making juice or ice, or brushing teeth should be boiled for one minute.

For more information, visit www.peachland.ca, where turbidity is updated daily.

After several delays due to poor weather conditions, aerial spraying for Douglas-fi r tussock moth on pub-lic and private lands in the Trepanier area of Central Okanagan West Elec-toral Area (including Trepanier Green-way and Coldham Regional Parks) is now complete.

On the morning of June 15, The Re-gional District of Central Okanagan

(RDCO) and Ministry of Forests and Range applied the licensed biological pesticide Foray 48B (active ingredient B.t.k.).

The pesticide was applied to prevent further cases in the region of a health condition called Tussockosis. Hairs on the Douglas-fi r tussock moth can cause Tussockosis, which can result in itchiness, watery eyes and skin rashes in dogs, horses and humans.

Recently, BC Transit held a series of open houses in the Central Okanagan to present to the public the future of transit, a proposed transit network slated for 2035.

The graphics on their open house ad-vertising and marketing materials show a train right in the middle of other trans-port modes. Rail is coming to the Okana-gan! Alas, not.

The cutting-edge innovation BC Transit has planned for 2035? Faster bus service.

For Peachland, this means a regional express bus service will connect with West Kelowna as it does now, only in 25 years time, you’ll get there faster because there will be less stops along the way.

BC Transit representatives couldn’t say whether access to the Ponderosa/Pin-cushion development would be offered by 2035.

The only reference to Peachland on the network design is a regional express bus line that follows from West Kelowna to

Peachland, right along where Highway 97 exists today.

When asked if that location refl ects fu-ture plans of the Ministry of Transporta-tion and Infrastructure (MOTI), BC Tran-sit senior urban transportation planner, Michelle Orfi eld, had this to say: “MOT is involved in this process, for sure. [Okana-gan Shuswap district manager for MOTI] Murray Takano is on our steering com-mittee.” Though she says they haven’t discussed the highway specifi cally, Or-fi eld told the View, “We [BC Transit] are in continuous conversations with MOT about their future plans and how that af-fects transit.”

According to the 2006 Census, only 3 per cent of people in Kelowna use transit to get around, making it even less popular than walking (5 per cent) as a mode of transportation. Whether HOV lanes and the promise of faster buses in 25 years is enough incentive to persuade people to give up their car or walking shoes will re-main to be seen.

Thank you for your support of Tim Hortons Camp Day, when more than 3,500 Tim Hortons stores in Canada and the United States donated their entire coffee sales, in addition to funds raised through other Camp Day events and activities, to the Tim Horton Chil-dren’s Foundation.

This special day raised an unbeliev-able $9.7 million CDN! We are ex-tremely grateful for the support and generosity of our customers, store own-ers, staff, special guests and media who participated in Camp Day 2010.

The funds raised on Camp Day this year will help more than 14,000 deserv-ing children to one of six Tim Horton Children’s Foundation camps – all ex-penses paid. Each camp offers a wide

range of fi rst-class programs and activi-ties that encourage campers to embrace and overcome challenges. The experi-ence is designed to build self-confi dence, self-esteem, and leadership skills and provide campers with a positive view of their true potential.

On behalf of Tim Hortons, the Tim Horton Children’s Foundation and the thousands of children you have helped send to camp this year, thank you very much.

Sincerely,Bill Moir

Where are the community leaders who fi rst turned a grassy slope into an orchard? Who built a successful packinghouse on a piece of raw, rug-ged lakeshore? Who turned a narrow, muddy, valley road into a highway to the world? Where are the people with the living vision who turned orchards into homes, rusting relics of the past into parks and beaches on our shores, dead street corners and wasted fi elds into shops and coffee houses where we meet with neighbours and friends?

Surely not amongst the citizens of Peachland.

These are the people who fought against a shopping plaza on Clements because it would destroy the village center, but they shop in Westbank any-way. These are the people who fought against a pub near the school because their children would be molested by drunks. These are the people who fought against the Gateway because it would spoil the view of the lake but they sure enjoy their sticky buns on a summer’s morning. They are the people who fought off a well-regulated marina on upper Beach Avenue because it would lower property values and destroy the environment. Still, at last count, there are 22 boats anchored there, each one with license to dump oil, gas and hu-man waste into the lake with no regard to enforcement. And recently, Peach-landers made national headlines - and not in a good way - by shutting down a new curling rink. A facility that thou-sands of communities in Canada would be proud to own and use for a mere 10 cents a day.

Even Turner Park is gone in a truly mind-boggling decision not to spend the money. Why didn’t that go to a public vote? Is it that vision thing again? If so, where is the family park to replace it be-cause more people still use that empty fi eld every day than Cousins Park sees in a whole week? It would seem people here have chosen not to live in Peach-land, but to die in Peachland.

Ah yes, picturesque Peachland? Don’t look over your back fence, folks. How long will we be stuck with that gravel pit by the Legion? Where are the bright, new six or eight story buildings that shelter us from road noise and re-fl ect back the lakeshore to people on the main street? Where are the beauti-ful town houses, boutiques, fountains and park-like public pathways built back there amongst the streets of ma-ture trees? Where is our town hall, the proud centre of a proud community?

Well, just a rant perhaps. But suffi ce to say I strongly support Mr. Hurd’s de-cision to toss it all in. I’ve been asked more than once to run for council as a ‘progressive’ but for what? This constit-uency is old, if not in body, then surely in mind. None see growth, as their fore-fathers did, as a wonderful, inevitable opportunity but rather as something to fear. All now see change as something to be held back. Although they talk a lot about leadership, none more forward.

Sad really!David Winter,

Peachland, BC

You were elected to represent Peach-land, not to dictate. It would seem that you have forgotten your responsibili-ties. You have made numerous accusa-tions and assumptions, which include name-calling and insulting people who did not agree with your opinion. I think that you are acting like a two-year-old having a temper tantrum (no offense in-tended to two-year-olds in general).

Peachland is over 100 years old and has proven many times that the vital-ity and spirit of a community comes from within the individual, not from how much money is spent. With respect

to the timing of your resignation, my feeling is that unless you have a very good reason for costing the taxpayers an additional $10,000 - $12,000, you should pay for this cost out of your own pocket. Ignorance is not an excuse. In the meantime, why don’t you get a better grip on reality?

P.S.: Thank goodness you did not have a chance to do more damage to Peachland.

Sincerely,Dave Smith

My friends and fellow Peachlanders I want you to be the fi rst to read that I have resigned my seat on council. I have thoroughly enjoyed being a voice that could be Hurd.

My family and I moved to Peachland in 1992 purely by fate. I quickly got in-volved in the community by coaching girls fast pitch; eventually becoming the softball coordinator. My kids thoroughly enjoyed their years at Peachland Elemen-tary School. When we moved to Peachland there was even a bowling alley. The curling rink had burnt down years before I arrived but the bowling alley provided a needed social outlet something the multi use facility would have duplicated and still may.

I made my local political debut in 1996. While on my fi rst term on council I used my position to accomplish two very important landmarks. I along with a group of dedicated volunteers built the interpretive kiosk in Trepanier Park with funds from The Real Estate Foundation of B.C. The kiosk needs a little bit of TLC and I hope municipal works sees the importance of the structure. I was also instrumental in getting funding from the provincial government to build the pedestrian bridge over Trepanier Creek at the highway. I ran as an incumbent in 1999 but failed to get reelected. I made the analogy then and I will make it now…most voters are like the Kokanee spawning in our creeks. They swim around in their pool of contentment and then every 3-4 years they thrash about like the spawning Kokanee trying to make educated decisions on who will make the best council for the town. I guess they must have lucked out this time because in my opinion this is a good council.

In 2005 I decided to run for mayor. I really felt that honesty, integrity and the youth would provide me with a strong platform to become mayor. I had a very hard working campaign manager in Bud Day who put his own health at risk to provide me with the best possible chance at winning. My support for the skateboard park and the youth of this town was my undoing but I wouldn’t change that stance for anything. Some individuals would sell their souls to the devil but not me.

In 2009 I ran for council a third time. I was ecstatic to poll 3rd just behind heavy weights Condon and Fraser. I was looking forward to a complete and productive term. I was part of a very strong and together council who agreed to put aside personal agendas on certain items for the good of the town. I remember Mayor Fielding’s comment to me after we voted for the fi nal adoption of the Pincushion A.S.P. He said it is not how he would have voted (and he did vote no) but I respect your decision (council) and I will work toward a satisfactory conclusion on your (council) behalf.

We as a council unanimously supported the building of this multi-use facility as a municipal asset and you the same voters that entrusted the towns’ decisions to us voted no. Instead of trusting us, you listened to individuals who were bent on

defeating this project with, in my opinion, lies and deception. I believe they went after the vulnerable seniors and almost extort-ed votes by any means pos-sible; again this gets back to my Kokanee analogy. I have resigned because I will not expend any more of my energies in dialogue to move this town forward when there is this prevail-ing cancer that permeates individual consciousness that paralyzes any chance of advancement. I will not be part of this CAVER mentality. The CAVERS are destroying Peachland and until this town wakes up to this deliberate mas-querade Peachland is go-ing to die a slow economic death. I hope you all read again the Laura L Coris letter from May 28 2010. Adieu.

Another referendum, pleaseWhether we like it or not we are hav-

ing a byelection at a cost of $10,000 – $14,000.

We need to take this opportunity to provide clear direction on the taxpayer involvement for the Primary School renovation. Council needs clearance to spend the $600,000 or $800,000 or

$1,300,000 to complete the project. The business plans and ongoing annual cost to the taxpayer need to be made clear.

A clear referendum question on the disposition of the Primary School should be included in our byelection.

Growing an oak tree in PeachlandMy name is Annegret (Ann) Kruse

and this is a story about my husband growing an oak tree.

Jelso and I immigrated to the beauti-ful Okanagan Valley in 1954 from Ger-many, where he had been trained as a joiner/cabinet maker. He especially liked to work with oak.

Our first home was in Oyama, then in Vernon. After that, we moved to the coast for many years but always longed for the Okanagan. On my husband’s retirement in 1991, we moved back to Peachland and built our house on Stu-art Crescent.

In 2000, Jelso made his last visit to his hometown in Germany because Al-zheimer’s had already started to cloud his mind. While on a walk through the forest with his nephew, he admired the beautiful old oak trees that grew there. He picked up a few acorns and when he was asked about what he intended to do with them, he said, “I am go-ing to grow an oak tree in Peachland!” On our re-turn home, he planted the acorns in flowerpots and cared for them lovingly. In due time they sprouted but in the end only one survived and was planted in our garden.

In 2005, due to Jel-so’s progressing illness, we sold our house and moved to Westbank.

By this time the tree was about 2 feet tall and Jelso was sad to be leaving it behind. Our friends, Sharon and Steve Hall-berg, came to the rescue. They dug up the tree and planted it in their garden.

Under their loving care, it grew to well over 5 feet tall.

Jelso passed away in 2006, but he would be very proud to know that his tree has now found a permanent home on Beach Avenue in Peachland, a place he loved so very much.

Many thanks to my friend Sharon Hallberg, who never wavered in her de-termination to find a permanent place for the oak tree to be admired by all.

Last, but not least, I would like to thank the District of Peachland, espe-cially Vic Loney and his hardworking crew for making my husband’s dream come true.

Yours truly,Annegret (Ann) Kruse

During the infancy of the Peachland Wellness Centre (PWC), around 2001, a volunteer painted a peach tree on one of the walls in the little house and covered it with peaches. The PWC received many donations from individuals, and their names were placed on the peaches.

Phyllis Papineau remembers the early days. “We were desperate for funds and this seemed warmer and more creative than a patron board. Originally, we each gave $500 for a peach but Jerry Dober asked if we could lower it to $100 so that he and others could contribute because the Wellness Centre meant so much to them.”

Over time, the peach tree was covered with donors’ names and read as a tan-gible indicator of support by the com-munity. By the end of 2009, with diligent washing of the walls, some of the peaches and names were deteriorating. The whole wall was repainted to match the rest of the room and Richard Smith, our local artist, generously donated his artistic abilities, time and materials to paint a new tree. Archival photos of the fi rst tree ensured that the original names could be replaced along with names of recent donors. At the top of the new tree are a few golden peaches that distinguish six lifetime mem-bers who were publically acknowledged at the June 11 PWC Tea.

Jerry Dober was posthumously recog-nized. He established the Sunday Break-fast, a small enterprise, which continues. This program has been renamed the Jerry Dober Sunday Breakfast in his memory.

Phyllis Papineau was instrumental in

starting the PWC. Along with others, she saw that the community needed a well-ness centre where people could go for help. For several years her passion, tenac-ity, and vision guided the society and at-tracted key individuals.

Gene Zaporzan worked in the initial renovation of the building. He was a tire-less volunteer who located over $10,000 worth of donated materials. For a long time he found the best prices for grocer-ies for the Sunday Breakfast, kept the ac-counts, and continued to help with build-ing repairs.

Linda Tyreman embraced the idea of a wellness centre right from the start, joined the Board of Directors and eventually was employed to help run the facility and support the programs. She continues to volunteer and currently job shares as Fa-cility Coordinator, keeping her hands on the pulse of the society.

Gordie McBryan was there at the start, helping in the renovation of the building and to this day he continues to be Linda’s right hand man, helping and repairing.

Jim McNickle has been a very generous supporter.

Papineau reminisces, “The tree repre-sented the struggle to keep the Wellness Centre going. It was such a challenge in the beginning to prove to the commu-nity and Council that it was worthwhile. Those people who contributed to the tree showed they had faith in us and our vi-sion. Some gave in memory of loved ones who have since passed on.”

The Peach Tree continues to grow across the wall. We are grateful to the community for their support.

Lights, camera, action! All were a go at a recent Peachland broadcast by West Coast Escapes, a TV series that discovers properties, resorts and hid-den gems along the west coast from Alaska to British Columbia. Acclaimed producer, John Lovelace, produced on-sight footage at Trepanier Manor for the season opener to be premiered on September 9, 2010. The focus of the show is to promote the Okanagan as a great west coast getaway.

Trepanier Manor was selected by West Coast because it is presently sell-ing homes to a wider target audience and will provide, when completed, a privately owned and operated small luxury hotel with full service resi-dence club amenities. Other featured Peachland businesses in the premier show are Tony Wright Tree Services, who cleared the site for the manor, Bliss Bakery and Bistro, who provid-ed baked goods for the TV crew, Gill Barry Excavating, Paradise Sand and Gravel, R&L Trucking, and Loopy-kums Ponds.

“Lisa Dudgeon of Cardan Enterpris-es, who are building the luxury homes at Trepanier Manor, was the main star of the show,” states Megan MacKenzie, PR representative for the manor. “John Lovelace grilled Lisa about building in the valley and why people were buying and building here.”

The production crew is expected back in August but this time will be inconspicuous as they fl ying over for aerial footage. Additional footage was taken in the Peachland and Kelowna area, with the pilot fi lming so watch West Coast Escapes on September 9 to fi nd out who else took part!

Currently Peachland has no hotel to accommodate 150 or provide guests with spa services, a fi tness room and salon under one roof. However at one time Peachland had the designation of being B&B Capital of Canada on a per capita basis. Stats have changed over the years but the number and unique-ness of Peachland’s accommodators continue to excel.

Bed & Breakfasts are a desirable form of accommodation for the very fact that each offers something dif-ferent from the other. Pet-friendly ac-commodation is often diffi cult to fi nd, but look no farther than our back door to fi nd Casa Serene or It’s

A Dog’s World, who offers not only a pet bed but also grooming services. Duck & Pug is approved as a Tourism Pet Friendly accommodation and fol-lows strict tourism requirements such as designated pet dishes, beds and a patch of grass for Fido with each unit. Family oriented accommodators with unique kid experiences are Resting Turtle, Working Horse Winery & Inn, and Davis Cove Resort. The ultimate in garden settings can be found at A Pointe of View, Hollyhock Lane and Beach Avenue B&B.

If it’s space and amenities you want for that extended vacation check out Brendale Suite, Peachland Lakeview Suites, Clarence View Guest Suite, Cherryhill and Westaways Water Walk.

If the budget allows for homey and friendly, visit Blue Waters or if you’re looking for 4-star ratings and more visit Okanagan Oasis, and Juicy Peach. EnerQi B&B offers a retreat with spa, hot tub and sauna for four while sharing the same spectacular view as Okanagan Breeze and Lakebend.

Once settled into the appropriate lo-cation, discover what Peachland has to offer in addition to an 11 km beach with a lifeguard and easy water access for people with disabilities.

Those into adventure will want a quad experience with Okanagan ATV Tours. Animal lovers will enjoy and appreciate the sanctuary at Parrot Is-land. Hikers and walkers will look to the new Westside guide for trails for all ages and abilities. Day programs at the Public Library, Peachland Recreation Centre, and Boys and Girls Club will be sought after.

Experience a bit of history at Peach-land Museum or take the self-guided Historic Walk downtown. Check out the Visitor Centre for that brochure! Unique boutiques and restaurants with ethnic foods or traditional Ca-nadian burgers will beckon. Then on Sunday tea and art will complete the day after a morning at the Farmers and Crafters Market. Whether you’re plan-ning for guests or want to experience your own hometown, fi nd a space on a patio, dock, pebbled beach or in the hills surrounding Peachland, then breathe deep, and experience life at its best.

Stephani and Paul of Okanagan Paper Shredding (shown on right) shredded approximately 2,000 lbs. of paper, making this the Roger W. and Susan Cyr's (shown on le� ) biggest Paper Shredding Day ever. Combined with the cash they received at the World of Wheels for the shuttle bus, Roger has raised over $1,200 for the Food Bank so far this year.

Oh, to live the life of an artist where those around you think that you’re only playing or it’s not a real job. I take my art very serious though, it being my full-time job. I live and breathe art, drive my family crazy and am happy that my eccentricities can now be embraced. My intent is to ac-knowledge and use my God-given talents.

I actually remember be-ing at a crossroad at the age of fi ve, having beside me a big box of Crayola crayons and on my other side a plastic nurse’s kit. My career path may have been that of a builder, nurse, an-tique dealer, mother and baker but art was threaded throughout the years in dif-ferent forms.

Nineteen years ago while running my antique store in Ft. Langley, where I grew up, my father-in-law gave me a very special gift, a

large collection of art supplies which he had purchased at an auction. My easel came later from an antique show and it was supposedly once owned by a well-known Beverly Hills artist.

To have passion and to follow my heart is my motto. When I put my heart and soul into my art, viewers take notice. For example, on the morning of 9/11, a bright sunny day in Penticton, my hus-

band asked while watching the horrible news, “Where are you going?”

“To paint on the beach,” I said. I was out there paint-ing in the wind for three days with no one around. All my emotions went into that painting, which turned out to be one of my favourites. The women who purchased it said that she couldn’t get it out of her head and that it took her breath away!

The mediums of choice for me are acrylic, pastel and watercolour. I am self-

taught, which I am happy about. I have taken workshops with some very talent-ed artists such as Robert Genn and Kiff Holland. Because art can be isolating at times, I joined the Federation of Canadi-an Artists eight years ago. I have enjoyed being on the exhibition and workshop committee and have participated in many juried shows.

Painting from life (alla prima) is impor-tant to me, along with an accurate but loose drawing. My colour palette tends to be on the cooler side, with people and

water being subjects of choice. I love jux-tapositions of thin and thick paint, hard and soft edges, cold and warm colours. Inspiration and sincerity is what makes the creative process fl ow. My goal is to say a lot with a few brushstrokes and to make it all look effortless.

In refl ection of the recent tragedy in Peachland and other events in the Okana-gan, I felt it would be appropriate to focus my column this month on the topic of grief and loss. All of us will be touched by loss in our lives and losing someone or some-thing you love can be very painful. Grief is this emotional pain that we feel after ex-periencing a loss and any loss, including subtle ones, can be diffi cult. The feelings and emotions that surface – shock, anger, guilt, sadness (to name a few) – are all natural responses to loss. People can react emotionally, physically and spiritually to a loss. Some common reactions to a loss are:

• Emotional outbursts, mood swings, hyper alertness, memory loss, antiso-cial behaviours;

• Feelings of shame, guilt, depression, fear, panic, numbness;

• Recurring thoughts or memories, with-drawal;

• Increased heart rate, blood pressure, sweating;

• Nausea, dizziness, weakness, bloating/gas, slower digestion;

• Tension headaches, diffi culty sleeping, loss of bladder/bowels, nightmares, crying, regressive behaviours; and

• Questioning beliefs.Remember, these are all usual or normal reactions to any type of loss. Myths, such as ignoring pain will help it go away faster, or the importance of “staying strong” to protect others from the grief, are just not

true. Each person grieves in their own way and in their own time. Grief is a very natu-ral reaction to loss – showing grief doesn’t make us weak. It is very important to let the feelings out, face the loss and deal with the pain. No matter how you choose to grieve, there’s no one right way to do it. The griev-ing process is a gradual one that lasts lon-ger for some people than others. There may be times when you worry that you’ll never enjoy life the same way again, but this is a natural reaction after a loss.

Loss can be very stressful and it is very important to take care of yourself. Here are some things that might help:

• Remember, grief is a normal emotion. You can and will heal over time;

• Participate in rituals. Memorial ser-vices, funerals and other traditions can help with the healing;

• Be with others. Even informal gather-ings can bring a sense of support and reduce feelings of isolation;

• Talk about it when you can or are ready. Some people fi nd it helpful to tell the story of their loss or talk about their feelings. Others don’t feel like talking, and that’s okay. Don’t feel pressured to talk;

• Express yourself. Even if you don’t feel like talking, fi nd healthy ways to express your emotions and thoughts. Write music, poetry or journal. This can be private or shared with others;

• Exercise. Exercise can help with your mood. It may be hard to get motivated, so modify your usual routine if need-

ed;• Eat right. You may feel like skipping

meals, but your body still requires the nutrition;

• Let your emotions be expressed and released. Don’t stop yourself from having a good cry. Don’t worry if ac-tivities, songs, etc. are painful because they bring back memories of the loss; this is common. After a while, it be-comes less painful; and

• Create a memorial or tribute. Plant a tree or garden, paint a picture, write a poem, or memorialize the person in some fi tting way (for example partici-pating in a cancer awareness event) in honour of a lost loved one.

If time has passed and you fi nd that your grief isn’t letting up or turns into an ongo-ing depression, you may want to reach out for some help. Here are some signs you may want to ask for some extra help:

• You’ve been grieving for 4 or more months and you aren’t feeling any bet-ter;

• You feel depressed;• Your grief is so intense that you cannot

concentrate, sleep, eat or socialize as you normally would; or

• You feel you can’t go on living after the loss or you think about suicide, dy-ing, or hurting yourself.

Counseling can help because it allows you to talk about your loss and express strong feelings. If you’d like to talk to a therapist and you’re not sure where to be-gin, you could ask your parent or guard-

ian, a relative, family physician, school counsellor, a teacher, a support worker or a youth worker for suggestions. And if a loss has caused you to think about suicide or hurting yourself in some way, or you feel like you can’t go on living, it’s important that you tell someone right away.

If you are supporting someone who is grieving, here are some things to try:

• Listen carefully;• Spend time with the person;• Offer your assistance and listening ear,

even if they haven’t asked for help;• Reassure them that they are safe;• Help them (don’t replace them) with

daily tasks like cleaning, caring for family and minding children;

• Give them some private time;• Don’t take their anger or other feelings

personally; and,• Don’t say things like, “You’re lucky

it wasn’t worse” or other such state-ments; people are not consoled by those statements. Instead, tell them you are sad such an event occurred and that you want to understand and sup-port them.

Remember, the grieving process is very personal and individual – there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Take the time you need to heal and let yourself experience any emotions. Healing doesn’t mean you have to forget about the loss and getting back to enjoying your life doesn’t mean you no longer miss a loved one. With time, and loving support of family and friends, you can fi nd ways to cope with your loss.

By Lillian McLeod

Peachland is a community of diverse people, some who have lived here for many years and many that have moved here from other parts of the province, the coun-try and the world. These people offer a diversity of gifts and talents.

We are a community with some common interests and common concerns, even though we realize that we all come from a different place in our life journey.

We were all created for a purpose. As a result, we all have uniqueness and special gifts. In order to live the best life, we need to use those gifts for the good of all.

Therefore we need to do the best we can in all aspects of our lives. We need to work with others and respect their input.

When we are born we are hard-wired for relation-ships, be they with family, friends, co-workers, etc. Re-lationships are the most important part of our lives. The community we live in provides these relationships for us as we seek to make our community a better place to live in for all those who live here.

One of the most important aspects of living in com-munity is respecting all opinions and ideas. Critical to working together in a community is proper communica-tion. If we fail to communicate, we fail to understand.

We need to listen with an open mind and an open heart. Then based on our fact-fi nding and understand-

Unity in Communitying, we need to discern what we truly feel is best for all of us - not what is best for me or what is best for you – but what is best for all together.

Then we need to work together in a respectful way us-ing all the gifts we have to reach a consensus.

For that we need to use teamwork. Failure to do so can result in a division in a community.

Very often we hear something different than what is be-ing said. At some point, people get downright mean, vin-dictive, unkind, and unloving. We think they have ulterior motives and as a result, we harbor bad feelings for those we don’t agree with and these feelings hurt us more than they hurt others. Resentment builds up a poison in our own system that eats at us. These hurts can take forever to mend.

We need to come to a place where we can be open, listen and discern and then perhaps agree to disagree - and we will disagree. This does not mean that the other person is wrong or that we are entirely wrong. It may be just a case of understanding and discerning what is best for all.

In a community, we tend to get wrapped up in our own agendas. We need to discern what we are doing and determine if we are doing it for the right reason. If we are doing something that glorifi es our ego, then we have forgotten that we live in community.

Life is too short to live with regrets, and in the heat of the moment, we may do something we will regret.

We are put here to love one another and treat everyone the way we would like to be treated.

In life, and in community, we should consider and fol-low the three R’s: respect for self, respect for others, and responsibility for all your actions.

Many things are happening in our community. It can be an exciting time. Think about what you want to partic-ipate in and arm yourself with the proper information so you can make more meaningful choices – choices made with love, compassion, understanding and contribution.

Be thankful for all that you have and do not destroy relationships and community with a few unkind and un-informed words.

Are we in Peachland a community? Do we want the best for our community or do we just want what we think is best for our ego and for us? Do we in Peachland have unity? Are we grateful for all the talents we have here and rejoice in them or are we resentful or unjustly critical if them because they do not always do what we think they should do or what we want them to do?

Are we willing to ensure our criticism and comments are factual and respectful enough to put our names on what we believe?

Do we understand that we cannot always have our own way? Do we realize that sometimes our way is not the only way and perhaps not necessarily the right way? Would people believe we are good, loving, caring people by the way we act?

We can have unity. We can work as one if we make up our minds to do it. We are all special people with special gifts and talents. Let us use them.

The road we travel is a road leading us into the future, which depends on the decisions we make. Let us make this journey as informed, respectful, loving, caring people building relationships and unity in our community.
