Can’t wait to get on the lake?

By Cindy Fortin

This Wednesday, May 11 will mark exactly 100 years since the fi rst of the Topham family arrived on the shores of Peachland. To mark the milestone cen-tennial the Tophams and large extended family will converge on Peachland for a special celebration on July 2.

Fred Topham, his wife Beatrice Mary, and their four young children fi rst

stepped off the Aberdeen paddle wheeler in May of 1911. Enticed by the persuasive brochures of the Okanagan, Fred Topham, who had come from England to Winnipeg in 1904, traded his two Winnipeg houses for 10 acres of orchard land in Peachland, sight unseen. Fred was born in Old Witting-

ton, England in 1881. Beatrice (nee Broscomb) was born in West Leeds, Sheffi eld, England, in 1883. Fred mar-ried Beatrice in England in 1904, just after returning from the Boer War, and just prior to immigrating to Canada.

Karen Martin, one of only two Tophams who remain in Peachland, -- the other one being her cousin, Peach-land Fire Chief Grant Topham --, re-members her grandmother as being “wonderful and very organized”, while her grandfather was “very military.”

“They were very English people, hav-ing come from England. There was that staunch, upper lip mentality. No one ever whined or sniveled over things that were going wrong. And they were a very supportive family to one another,” says Martin.

A stonemason by trade, Fred Topham, did this type of work, and brick lay-ing, as well as caring for his orchard. His orchard was ravaged by frost the fi rst year, so he found work where he could, including on St. Michael’s An-glican Church in Kelowna. The beau-tiful archways and entrances remain a monument to his skill and handiwork.

Fred also built cisterns and chimneys around town. For one job he received a Jersey cow in payment. He also erect-

ed the cenotaph after the monument, which commemorates those Peach-landers who lost their lives in war.

The family lived in a log tent-home while their house was being built. They fi rst lived above Lipsett, then moved to Turner Avenue, near where Victoria and Minto join. In 1947 they retired to a house on Beach Avenue, the second house south of 4th Street.

Fred and Beatrice Mary Topham had a total of eight children: George, Fred, Beatrice Mary (known as Polly, who is Martin’s mother), Elizabeth, Arthur, Peter, Charles (Grant Topham’s father), and Ann.

Fred served on municipal council as reeve (or mayor) in 1934 and 1935, and was a trustee with the irrigation district, as well as served in the church and community at large. Beatrice was devoted to serving on the women’s auxiliary of the Royal Canadian Le-gion, and also of the Peachland and District Retirement Services.

Back in the early days of Peachland, there were no roads in or out of town, so families often lived close to one an-other, and were close-knit.

“I just think of how the family was so tremendously amazing to stick to-gether they really instilled a lot of val-ues that they passed onto their fami-lies. I think that feeling of family has kept us all together and makes us look forward to getting together,” says Mar-tin.

This summer, on the July long week-end, she expects that between 50 to 70 Tophams will arrive for the special celebrations. Friday, July 1, they will have a Topham fl oat in the Canada Day parade with a “fruit” theme, which goes back to their roots in Peachland. Then on July 2, the family will gather at the 50+ Activity Centre.

But events that weekend will not just be limited to Topham family members. They will have an open house between 2:30 pm and 4 pm, says Martin, “for friends and neighbours to drop by and enjoy a visit with the Topham family.”

2 - The Peachland View May 6, 2011

It’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.

If you can’t bring the kids to the ocean, why not bring the ocean to the kids? This week the Vancouver Aquarium’s “Aqua-Van” rolled into town for a two-day stop at Peachland Elementary School.

The BC Hydro AquaVan, the Vancou-ver Aquarium’s “classroom on wheels”, has been touring the Okanagan visiting many local schools. Last Thursday and Friday, they stopped at our local elemen-tary school to give the students a fi rst-hand, close-up look at various live sea creatures.

According to Roxanne St-Pierre, com-munications advisor with the program, “The students have the opportunity to touch a sea star, understand how a bar-nacle feeds, observe a hermit cab up close and discover the connections among ani-mals, environment and themselves.”

The Vancouver Aquarium’s mobile classroom has delivered award-winning aquatic programs to schools and com-munities throughout British Columbia and Alberta since 1994. More than 400,000 students and community mem-bers have shared in the experience.

The AquaVan fi ts into a curriculum-based program at the school, said Peach-land Elementary School principal, Troy White, adding that it provided a terrifi c opportunity for the students who might not be able to experience sea life fi rst-

hand. Living in the Okanagan, some stu-dents may never have the chance to visit the ocean, said Troy, who describes it as “an in-school fi eld trip.”

“The curriculum has a lot of things about the ocean in it, but where you live will determine how enriched that curric-ulum will be. So instead of just watching it on TV or video, the kids here get see it, touch it, and are engaged with it.”

Bringing the AquaVan to our local school was a result of several months of fundraising by Peachland Elementary School PAC.

Said PAC president Lisa Allin, “We’ve been fundraising all this school year. It’s a great opportunity for all the students to see the sea life, when some kids would never have the opportunity.”

The AquaVan wraps-up its Okanagan tour today, Friday.

With more than half of the votes in the May 2nd fed-eral election cast in his favour, Dan Albas left the other five candidates vying for the Okanagan-Coquihalla seat in his dust. Voters gave Albas a confident 53.6 per cent nod.

Albas, who replaced retiring MP Stockwell Day, will vacate his seat on Penticton city council for a spot in the House of Commons as a Conservative MP.

“I am very humbled and honoured to step up and serve in this capacity as the Member of Parliament for

Dan Albas wins Okanagan-Coquihalla by a landslide

Are these geese goose’s cooked?This content looking pair of Canadian geese seem unaware that their fate is currently being determined by the municipality. Each year “goose management” is a hot topic in town, and this year is no different. At a recent Committee of the Whole meeting information was submitted by Doug Allin, director of operations, on the various options for handling the goose problem on our shores – the biggest irritant being their droppings. Those solutions included hiring a dog and handler to scare off the fowl, the addling (or shaking) of their eggs to stop the chicks from becoming viable, educating the public on the negative outcome of feeding the geese and ducks, which may include a stern on-the-spot lesson or even a fine, if caught doing it, or the least popular solution of applying for a kill permit to shoot them. The Regional District is currently addling goose eggs, and it was decided by Council to wait until those results were known before making a decision. Photo by Cindy Fortin

Okanagan-Coquihalla,” said Albas, when contact-ed by The View.

“I’m just looking for-ward to getting on with the business of parlia-ment. Prime Minister Harper wants to get down to business as quickly as possible. We have a strong mandate and we want to deliver on our promises.”

Albas was far ahead of the other candidates in votes. NDP David Finnis took second place with 24.1 per cent of the vote, and Liberal John Kidder took finished third with 10.9 per cent.

The three remaining candidates, the Green Party’s Dan Bouchard, Conservative Indepen-

dent Sean Upshaw, and Independent Deitrich Wittel, received 9.4 per cent, 1.6 per cent, and .3 per cent of the vote, respectively.

A relatively high 62.5 per cent of Okanagan-Coqui-halla registered voters cast a ballot, representing 53,229 votes out of a possible 85,117.

Albas realizes that he has big shoes to fill over the next few years.

“Stockwell had an amazing capacity to connect with the people, and so I’m looking forward to doing the same. I plan to reach out to people, including through new technology, such as blogs and the web, and by door knocking to get that critical feedback,” said Albas.

The Conservative government won their first outright majority since 1988 by claiming 167 seats, while the New Democrats under Jack Layton captured Official Op-

position status for the first time in their party’s history, with 102 seats. The Liberals under Michael Ignatieff fin-ished with only 34 seats, while Gilles Duceppe’s Block Quebecois managed only a measly four seats, down from 40 in the previous election. Elizabeth May of the Green Party became the first member of her party to win a seat. May won in the riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands.

Editor’s Perspective

Recently a 25 pound Kamloops trout was caught near Westbank. Fishing has always been great in the Peachland area and this pic-ture shows a day’s catch in the early 1950s. The CPR wharf is in the background, now the site of the cenotaph. The boat is where day wharf is today.The old boat is named for Sunnyside store owner Len Fulks wife, Flo. Also visible in the background is Clements Store, now the Greek Restaurant. Note the cottonwood trees on Beach Avenue? The street was then Highway 97.

Peek into the past

By Cindy FortinEditor ∙ [email protected]

What an election!

Wow! What a week. There were no shortage of news stories over the last week or so, of varying intensity - a royal wedding, the hockey playoffs (the Canucks toy-ing with our hockey-frayed emotions), the capture and death of the world’s most wanted villain, Osama bin Laden, deadly storms across the U.S. southern states, and, of course, a historic Canadian federal election. It has been a smorgasbord of news for any reporter.

However, today I will limit myself to the federal elec-tion.

While we all may have expected the election to pro-duce results somewhat different than in the last two elections, no one could predict such a major change. Each and every party was altered.

The Conservatives won a strong majority, claiming 167 of the 308 seats in the House of Commons. The next few years will truly be the time to judge the per-formance of Stephen Harper’s government, now that he won’t be held back by the threat of another election in the next year or so, and the non-confi dence bullying. You can almost hear the next session of Parliament with the other parties threatening to vote “non-confi -dence” on a tabled issue, only to have Prime Minister Harper, – with his trademark shrug and one-sided grin --, calmly replying, “Whatever.”

The NDP under Jack Layton won an impressive num-ber of ridings, giving them the status of the Offi cial Opposition for the fi rst time in their party’s 50-year history. Even Jack Layton appeared bowled over by the results. They claimed 102 seats, up from 37 in 2008.

The Liberals got a reality check, dropping from 77 seats to 44, and losing their Offi cial Opposition sta-tus. Ignatieff immediately announced his resignation as party chief. His entire campaign and resignation speech were as lively and exciting as the Canucks/Predators series. (While, in comparison, Layton’s jubi-lation could be compared to the seventh game of the Canucks/Blackhawks series.)

Elizabeth May of the Green Party made history by becoming the fi rst member of her party to win a seat. While she won’t have much power in parliament, it may only be just the beginning of a positive climb for the Greens.

And, fi nally, I saved Mr. Gilles Duceppe of the Bloc Quebecois for last. While I’ve never been particularly fond of the man, I did feel a twinge of sympathy for him, sinking from 40 seats to a pitiful four, which will no longer allow him offi cial party status. I’m sure I heard blood vessels popping in his brain as he stared dully at the unbelievable results befalling his party. (At least, I think I heard some vessels popping, but I couldn’t understand them, they were in French.)

The next four years should be exciting ones, or dev-astating, for the citizens of Canada. Either way, you can be certain, if it was change the people wanted, it is change they got!

Now if the Canucks would just pull up their skate straps and do us proud…

I saw some daffodils today, they nodded and I smiled,At all the memories they recalled of when I was a child.

The stately homes of Scotland would hold an annual fair,The families came out in hordes to see the grandeur there.

‘Twas not so much the castle but ‘twas always fun to peerinside the great halls hung with tapestries of deer.

They’d serve you tea if you should venture through the doorWell, just if you behave yourselves, the parents would implore.

A tour of the home stables was always a delight.And to see how clean the pigs were their pink tails curled up tight.

But best of all was just to stare, and drink in deep the view,Of miles of golden daffodils all growing there for you!

As a mother of two, I know how often kids pick up illnesses quickly before their immune systems become resilient. The first years of life are vital in keeping them strong, and this also includes free of immune destroy-ing antibiotics. Kids seem to take antibiotics for everything. Unfortunately, the more one uses them, the more one will continue to get sick and will continue to use them. This vicious cycle can lead to chronic diseases in the future lives of these children.

As a homeopath, I never use antibi-otics on my children and, yes, they do sometimes get sick! One of the reasons they are so healthy, along with good nutrition, exercise and a relatively stress-free life, is this lack of antibiotics in the first place. For those of you out there who would like to try another route of healthcare, I have written this quick "homeopathic helper' to give kids the best start in life; to be drug-free and healthy. To be used for acute disorders, which are dis-orders of short duration and in need of urgent care.

For chronic diseases, I recommend making an ap-pointment with a homeopath as this requires a much more in-depth consultation and analysis.

Following are common children's remedies; chil-

dren requiring these will exhibit key symptoms as noted and may be for a wide range of common ill-nesses, such as ear pain, teething, colds and flu, fe-vers and emotional states. Match the symptoms and behaviour to the remedy. Remedies are available from

most health food shops such as Nature’s Fare or from online stores. The best potency for acute

disorders is 200c, and can be taken under the tongue.

Aconite (Wolfsbane plant) - Pain and fear is very intense; restlessness; very acute symptoms, rapid onset; sud-den shock; high fever with sweating; becomes ill after exposure to extreme weather or changes in weather; intense-ly thirsty for cold water; ear pain with swollen red ear; eyes red and inflamed; and throbbing headaches. Good for inflammations, croupy sound-

ing coughs, beginning stage of illnesses, fear, headaches, ear pain, and bladder infec-

tions.Belladonna (Deadly Nightshade flower) - Di-

lated pupils, sparkling eyes; hot bright red face with very dry burning fever; eyes sensitive to light; anxious, delirious, talking fast; constant moaning; pain comes and goes quickly; aversion to drinking water; and dif-ficulty swallowing liquids.

Homeopathic children’s remediesGood for tonsillitis, swellings, fevers, ear inflamma-

tion and sore throats.Chamomilla (Chamomile flower) - Called the

'Catnip, or Opium, of Homeopathy' Angry, very emo-tional; bad temper, snappish; likes to be picked up and carried; doesn't know what they want; quarrelsome; pains are unendurable; thirsty; desires cold applica-tions whilst teething; diarrhea during teething; swol-len glands; and rattling cough.

Good for anger, teething, colic, ear pain, gastric problems and coughs.

Calcarea Carbonicum (Oyster shell) - likes to feel secure, be close to home, avoids change in habits; anx-ious and worried; exhaustion; sweating (sour smell) during sleep, especially on face and chest; craves eggs and eats indigestible things; and sluggish develop-ment in bones and teeth.

Good for eczema, Candida fungus infection, and canker sores.

Pulsatilla (Windflower) - tearful (whiny cry, not angry), clingy, have to have parent nearby; very sen-sitive and timid; can regress into babyhood, for old-er children; avoids confrontation; quickly changing symptoms and moods; laughing one minute, crying the next; gagging cough, sits up in bed for relief; like to have a window open, open air makes them feel bet-ter, and gets sick after too much fatty food.

Good for ear pain (blocked feeling), colds with thick bland/yellow discharge, insomnia, bladder infections, pink eye, and digestive complaints.

Use common sense when using homeopathy alter-natives. If the remedy does not work quickly and if you are unsure of the problem, call your GP or 911 in case of an emergency. For a non-emergency, I am available for a free 15-minute telephone consultation (acute disorders only). I can also provide remedies for a small fee.

I am available for Peachland/Westside consulta-tions. Please call 778 479 2402.

(Lorraine Bromley has a Bachelors’ Degree in Chem-istry, and is studying at the Caduceus Institute of Ho-meopathy under Master Homeopath and Board Mem-ber of the Council for Homeopathic Certification, Willa Keizer. She is working towards registration of the Cana-dian Society of Homeopaths.)

Madam Editor;

Having just been perusing the Water Sensitivity re-port of Urban Systems, dated the 1st March 2011, to the municipality fortifying the future developments ex-pected to increase in Peachland, one has to remember this is an analysis only and subject to future develop-ments of climate change, which is unpredictable.

I am amazed that the municipality has not requested the advice of two or three other engineering compa-nies to run parallel inventories. We have no profession-al engineer or technician with experience to challenge the analysis put forward. I am not disputing the report, as Urban Systems’ professional engineers involved did as requested, but it is worth a second look by other professionals. In the real world other opinions are im-portant in large projects.

Regarding the Monaco project and others, I as-sume that the developer will be paying the cost of ex-tended water and sewer line extensions from the pres-ent end of line services, including pump houses, etc.

An expensive project that the taxpayer should not pay for, seeing we will have a divided town of Peachland.

As for the $55 million project, a further review should take place as the projected cost was at 2006 dollars and built over five-year periods to ease the pain that taxpayers are expected to endure. However, a re-quired referendum should be held as the total cost is too much for some 5,000 taxpayers. The water charge, including the standing charge (used or not) after the installation of meters, was apparently increased as not enough water was used. Who underestimated the orig-inal cash requirements? Certainly no expert...I trust that septic tanks will be allowed for rain water storage instead of the demand to fill with sand to allow sewer connection. I spoke to Dave Smith about that over a year ago.

Taxpayers have to get involved to make sure we are getting affordable services and not held to ransom.

Water sensitivity worth taking a second look by other engineers

As the weather warms, people across Interior Health will be spending more time outdoors in tall grass or wooded areas and this means an increased chance of getting tick bites. Ticks are small bugs that bite and feed on the blood of humans and animals and some-times these bites can transmit disease. Fortunately, there are precautions people can take to prevent ill-nesses that may be transmitted from tick bites.

One of the most important ways to protect yourself from tick illnesses is to do a skin check on yourself and your children after being outdoors. Other precautions include:

•Walking on cleared trails when in long grass or wooded areas.

•Tucking pant legs into socks or boots.•Applying insect repellent containing DEET on all

uncovered skin.•Carefully checking clothing and scalp (covered or

not) when leaving an area where ticks may live.•Regularly checking household pets for ticks.

To reduce ticks from entering your home and yard, try these steps:

•Keep your lawn short and remove any leaf litter and weeds.

•Trim tree branches to allow more sunlight in your yard.

•Move woodpiles and bird feeders away from the house.

•Widen and maintain trails on your property. If you do find a tick on yourself or your pet, wear

gloves and be careful not to crush the tick because this could cause it to inject its stomach contents into your skin:

•Use needle-nose tweezers to gently grasp the tick close to the skin.

•Without squeezing, pull the tick straight out.•After removal, clean the area with soap and water.•If you find one tick, check very carefully for others. If you have concerns or need assistance removing

a tick, please contact your family doctor or visit a walk-in medical clinic. For more information: Lesley Coates, Communications Officer; 250 870-4689.

Take precautions during tick season

"Hmm, you may ponder. Which is better, three of a kind or a fl ush?" Yes, Big Slick Poker has come to Branch 69 on Wednesdays. Registration is at 1830 hours and the play begins at 1930 hours. There is no charge for registration and no money changes hands during play, as a point system is used. The kitchen will also be extending the hours until 2000 hours.

Details are beginning to take shape for the BC/Yukon convention, which will be held in June at the Penticton Convention Centre. Over 800 delegates are expected to attend. Leslie and Ruth will be looking after the tables representing Branch 69 at the Trade Show. The table will be representing the many facets of Peachland. Our Colour Party will take part in the parade. Care to join us? There will be more details in the next Stand Easy.

Sunday, May 8th is Mother's Day. Why not bring

your mother or a favourite relative to the Tea at Branch 69? A formal tea will be served from 1400 to 1600 hours. A rose will be presented to the fi rst 36 ladies who attend the event. Mothers are entitled to bring their adult children to this special afternoon.

If you missed the dance on April 30, you missed a delightful evening. Vic is an accomplished fi ddler as well as a keyboard player. He was accompanied by a saxophonist and a master of the guitar. They played with just one break, and the toes never stopped tap-ping. It is hoped that we may get them for a return engagement.

Congratulations to President Jean Saul for her nomi-nation for the Civic Award, sponsored by the District of Peachland. Presentations will take place on Friday at the Community Centre. Jean works tirelessly on be-half of Branch 69.

Cindy Fortin won Ruth Krentz's Easter Basket. Cin-dy will be enjoying her prize for some time to come

due to the generosity of the donors. Rick Durocher is $100 richer as his lucky number was pulled at the special draw held at the meat draw on Saturday.

On May 12, Ted and Donna Cave would like to in-vite Legion members to lunch. Chili and a biscuit will be served. This is a special way the family would like to have Ted's dad remembered. His favourite dish was chili. Tip Cave was a veteran and a member of his Le-gion for 59 years. What a wonderful way to remember a loved one! Do you have someone that you would like remembered in this way? Give the Legion a call at 250-767-9100 for details.

Volunteers are still needed for the Legion's entertain-ment event at the World of Wheels. Don't forget to sign up for this once a year event. No matter what your skills or interest, they can be utilized on May 22.

...'til next time.

Article submitted by Peachland Stands UP!

The community of Peachland is gathering together to support one of their neighbours, Cleo Murray, in her journey to wellness as she recovers from breast cancer.

Guests will laugh and dance the night away starting at 6:30 pm on May 14th with such great entertain-ers as comedian Herb Dixon, well-known local duo Donovan Sweet, songstress Gillian Russell, and Kyle Anderson’s Amazing Rubber Band. There will also be savory and sweet appies from the Happy Cow Café and a cash bar. Tickets are $30 each and available by calling 250-767-3457.

The recipient of this fundraiser, Cleo Murray was born in Penticton but later called Vancouver’s West End her home when she received the diffi -cult news of her mother’s fi nal prog-nosis after many years of multiple cancers. Cleo moved back to the Okanagan to support her mom in the last year of her life. In July of 2005 her mother passed away.

Several months later, Cleo was di-agnosed with colon cancer. She opted for surgery, refused chemotherapy and radiation and instead treated herself with what some call alternative therapies including, working with a naturopath and a master herbalist, supplementing a strict organic raw vegan diet with high alkaline foods and beverages and elimi-nating all foods with gluten and sugar.

More and more people are choosing to integrate traditional cancer treatments with alternative methods like those Cleo used to better their odds of recovery. She made it to the four-year mark cancer free, but in June of 2010 was diag-nosed with breast cancer. She opted for a lumpectomy, again refusing chemo and radiation. Having done so well before with nutrition and diet, she is now working with a registered nutritionist who determines Cleo’s supplementation/dietary needs using live blood cell analysis.

She is also working with a homeopath using thermography (instead of mam-mography) as an early detection tool, and is receiving TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) treatments including acupuncture and Chinese herbs to assist with healing and to increase energy. Regular lymphatic drainage massage is an important tool to help her body eliminate toxins. She is also working with the German New Medicine Paradigm, which approaches the emotional aspect of disease. All of this comes at a high price and expenses are beyond her means.

It was in the wake of this diagnosis and recovery journey that Peachland Stands UP! was formed. Area business women Wendy LaResser, Judy Berg, Lo-retta Robinson, and Darcy Nybo have organized a fundraiser called “Oh What a Night!” to support Cleo in her journey to returned health. Cleo is also taking a very active part in the organization of the event.

Peachland Stands UP! is a grassroots organization that was formed to as-sist community members who may need fi nancial help due to health reasons, or perhaps displacement by fi re or natural disaster. “Peachland Stands UP! is about community helping community, and this is just the beginning,” says orga-nizer Wendy LaResser. “This is the fi rst of many fundraisers we will be holding to help out our neighbours in need.”

The event has several sponsors including AM 1150 with guest MC Phil John-son, The Westside Weekly, OK in Health, Always Write, The UPS Store – , Chat-ters and the Happy Cow Café. Graphic designer Arti Chauhan created their logo.

The event will be held at the Peachland Communi-ty Centre from 6:30 pm to midnight and aside from a great entertainment line up there will be thou-sands of dollars in silent auction items, live auction items, amazing swag bags and doors prizes.

13th Annual Lion’s Club Charity Golf Tournament

By Eldon Kerbes

The sun shone brightly in Summerland on May 1 as the Peachland and Summerland Lions hosted their 13 Annual Charity Golf Tournament at the Summerland Golf and Country Club. A total of 105 golfers registered in 26 teams for the best ball match following a shotgun start at 1pm. While the fi nal fundraising fi gures had not been tallied at press time, the event was very successful as over $10,000 was netted for donations for the Easter Seal camp in Winfi eld. Final results should be available next week.

Judging from comments heard following the tourna-ment everyone enjoyed themselves though some of us would have liked lower scores. The competition was stiff and several of the winning teams were tied and the ulti-mate winners were determined by coin tosses.

Trophy winners in the fi rst fl ight were the team from Peachland of Rod Sawatsky, Jay Scanlan, Tony Chew and Brian Davies. Trophy winners in the second fl ight, also from Peachland, were the team of Harry Gough, John Coughlan, Bob Oliver and Scott McClean.

Runners up in the fi rst fl ight was a team from Summer-land (Carrot Top Diner) of Gary Long, Ken Zagrodney, Rick Valante and Bill Lyle. Runners up in the second fl ight from Kelowna (Tac Mobility) of Curtis Pannell, Heinz Ostreich, Stu Mennie, and Ed Helgason. Third in the second fl ight was a team from Westbank (Valley Glass) of Gordon and Sherry Schimpf and Don and Cathy Simmons. Fourth in the second fl ight was a team from Kelowna (Kelowna Motors) of Gregg Burgess, Gord Lammers, Matt August and Randy Katelnikoff.

The Lions Challenge Trophy was won by Penticton Lions Club with the team of Barry Lemay, Mark Verhae-ghe, Ken Boerrcher and Kerry Baxter. Ladies long drive was won by Susan Wallis and the men’s was won by Matt August. The big winner however was Leif Bengts-son of Kelowna whose winning ticket was drawn for a free ticket for two anywhere in West Jet’s World.

Several golfers bettered Larry Guilbault on the golf challenge on hole #4 including this writer resulting in a donation of $265 to the cause. No one was able how-ever to achieve a hole in on one on # 2 so the car spon-sored by Kelowna Motors made its way back to the lot.

Following golf all golfers and guests enjoyed a dinner in the clubhouse prepared by the able chefs. The Master of Ceremonies was our well-known weatherman Mike Roberts of CHBC. Bidding at the silent auction table was very spirited and teams each shared golf packages donated by valley golf courses or gift bags made up of prizes donated by local business or individuals.

More than 100 golfers came out for the 13th Annual Lion’s Club Charity Golf Tournament

� 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

• Advertising in the Peachland View

• Public information meeting

• Final review and com-mencement of council adoption process

As of May 1st BC’s mini-mum wage will be increased to $8.75/hr ($8.50/hr for liquor servers), and also ef-fective on May 1 the “training wage” program has been elimi-nated. For further information on minimum wage changes and how they relate to spe-cialized industries please visit the www.labour.gov.bc.ca/esb. website. Over the past year in particular I heard from

many constituents on this issue with the vast major-ity strongly in support of an increase to the minimum wage. This increase is the fi rst of a three-step process that will ultimately see the minimum wage level rise to $10.25/hr by May 2012.

Another issue that I hear increasingly from the pub-lic about is the reckless actions of some off-road ve-hicle owners in wetlands and other habitat sensitive environments. Owners of such vehicles who engage in these activities can expect a minimum ticket of $575 and may also be subject to vehicle impound-ment and related towing charges. If you witness “mud bogging” or other destructive actions on Crown lands please call and report these acts to 1-877-952-7277 or *7277 on your cell phone. Please respect and enjoy the outdoors by treading lightly. Thank you.

As some of you may be aware, last week the house resumed sitting in Victoria. One new item of legisla-tion introduced was the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) Initiative Vote and Referendum Act. Under the previ-

ous legislation, the HST referendum was required to be held on September 24, of 2011. The new legisla-tion allows for the referendum date to be moved up to June 24, and also allows a mail-in vote process to be used in place of a ballot box vote. This change alone will save BC taxpayers roughly $18 million.

The downside to my being in Victoria last week was that I was unable to attend the Penticton Fire fi ght-ers and BC Cancer Association fundraising event that was held on April 27. Cancer has touched the lives of many of us on a deeply personal level and I was disappointed to miss this important event but would also like to recognize the good work of the Penticton fi re fi ghting community in collecting donations to this most worthy cause.

This will obviously be an exciting week across our country as our federal election will soon be concluded and the results known to all. I realize as in all elec-tions there will be some who will be pleased with the results and others disappointed. That said, I think we should all give thanks to live in a country where we are free to go to the polls and cast our vote without fear of violence, threat, or intimidation.

Elections often tend to focus on what challenges we face but we must also never lose sight of the fact that the generations of elected leaders who have come be-fore us collectively made the very decisions to help shape this great country that we all know and love as Canada. Regardless of the election outcome I do hope that we will work hard on working together be-cause I believe there is much more we hold in com-mon then what sets us apart. When we work together we can do amazing things.

Peachland Legion #69

I was one of the parents that took his child to the Ca-nucks Penticton training camp in September. My son Isaac and I watched the team practice and waited for a chance to grab an autograph from somebody famous. Well, as it turns out, Alex Burrows was the one who walked out of the tunnel and was quickly mobbed by a number of fans of all ages. Isaac got his autograph and the mission was accomplished. That autograph went up in value after Burrows scored twice in Game 7 against Chicago. If we win the cup, who knows how much his signature might be worth! The only thing better than an autograph would be an autograph and a one-on-one meeting where I could ask any question I wanted.

The time period between Jesus’ resurrection and His ascension back to heaven would have been such a time for Jesus’ 11 disciples. (Down to 11 because Judas betrayed Jesus and then killed himself for his betrayal). We’re talking 40 days. Can you imagine hanging out with a guy who had been beaten, mercilessly whipped, nailed in the wrists and feet to a wooden cross who then rises from the dead in bodily form? Doesn’t hap-pen too often. Talk about meeting somebody famous!

Based on the numerous stories about Jesus’ death and resurrection, the disciples weren’t expecting a res-urrection. Jesus had told them He would die and then rise again but no one really understood it. So when the stone rolled away and some women who knew Jesus well showed up at the tomb and found it empty, it was too good to be true. However, the story began to spread.

A couple of guys, who were walking on a road dis-cussing the recent events in Jerusalem, were suddenly accompanied by Jesus, but they didn’t recognize him. They were broken-hearted about Jesus’ death and con-fused about the story of the empty tomb. Jesus began to explain to them (without revealing who He was) why He had to die. Luke records that “Jesus explained to them what was said about himself in the Scriptures. He began with Moses and all the Prophets.” They arrived at home, invited Jesus in, they ate supper to-gether, all of a sudden recognized him, and then Jesus disappeared. The next visit was to the disciples.

They had locked themselves into a room, scared they would be next on the crucifi xion list because they were friends with Jesus. Then out of nowhere Jesus appeared. They were stunned (naturally). Luke wrote, “Then He opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, ‘This is what is written. The Christ will suffer. He will rise from the dead on the third day.”

Let’s not forget the 38 or so days after that when Jesus told them everything they needed to know to continue His mission while He went back to heaven. What I would give to be a fl y on the wall during those days.

If I could go back in time and hang out with any-one famous, it would be with Jesus and it would defi nitely include those 40 days. I think it would change my life…like it did those disciples. All of them went on to spread the message that we still

believe 2000+ years later. Maybe in heaven, we can watch a video about

what Jesus said and how He said it. In the mean-time, we rely on the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to help us understand Him. The Holy Spirit teaches us, comforts us, and heals us. Furthermore, the Holy Spirit lives in those who know Jesus and so in a very human way, we see Je-sus in those who call themselves His followers.

The Bible says that Jesus is coming back again one day and everyone will see Him. Now that will be something. Not sure how I’ll respond if I’m alive when it happens. I think I’ll do more than ask for an autograph. I’ll defi nitely want a one-on-one in-terview! And I can guarantee you that the event will be more exciting than the Canucks winning the Stanley Cup.

In support of longtime residentDon Houghaling and son-in-law Chris Frechette

Three years ago Don was diagnosed with an extremely rare brain disorder which is now taking away his ability to use any part of his body that is governed by

muscle. Then recently after many tests and a biopsy the family learned Chris has an inoperable malignant tumour in his brain and will need extensive radiation

and chemotherapy in an attempt to shrink it.

We can all only imagine the horribly difficult time they are having and will be having, financially, so I thought this sale would be one way to help make

their journey a little less of a hardship; said Linda Longbotham, whose niece is married to Chris. Linda hopes to raise funds to help both families, and therefore

is accepting donations of garage sale items for the sale this weekend.

Linda can be reached by calling 250-767-6476 or 250-718-3878.

In conjunction with the sale there will also be horseback rides from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm, photos with a local firefighters from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm and the Lions

will have hot dogs for sale from 9:30 am to 4:00 pm.

A table of home baking, as well as hot buttered popcorn, coffee and goodies will be offered by donation.

Linda is looking forward to meeting new friends and chatting with old friends from the community, who would like to come out and help make the Houghaling and

Frechette families' lives a little less stressful. See you all there!
