Last Saturday, approxi-mately 30 people from Abbotsford, Mission, Lake Errock, Chilliwack, Pitt Meadows, Texada Island and Kelowna ar-rived in Peachland for a rally to thank the mayor and council for enforcing the district’s earthworks removal bylaw.

The rally was orga-nized by Glen Thompson and Walter Neufeld, who are each battling confl ict gravel mining in their re-spective communities.

The idea for the un-usual rally came about

when the organizers be-came aware of the court injunction sought by the municipality in response to work that was taking place at the McDougald Road gravel pit without respect for Peachland’s bylaws.

“We were reading about the mayor of Peachland in a newspa-per and me and my wife came up with an idea at the same time and said, ‘why don’t we go to Peachland?’ I said. ‘And thank him,’ she said. We started from there and we thought, ‘let’s invite Walter’ and Walter said

‘let’s invite everybody,’ so we turned it into this event,” Thompson ex-plained. “It’s not a pro-test rally, it’s a road rally. We’re not looking for large numbers of people, we’re just looking to say, ‘thank you Peachland - we support what you’ve done by trying to stop an inappropriate gravel pit.’”

While Mayor Field-ing had discouraged the group from staging the event, he did stop by the rally to shake hands with the organizers and meet with them briefl y.

No councillors were

present, but members of the Peachland Residents Association welcomed the group to Peachland and offered up a basket of local peaches.

“We’re really happy with what your mayor is doing,” Thompson said at the rally. Although Peachland is currently approaching its gravel pit concerns from a lo-cal bylaw perspective, the group that came to offer thanks is working towards changes on a provincial level.

“We’re hoping to get changes to the Mines Act. You have to remem-

ber that the Mines Act came from 1858…there weren’t even cars then, people were on horse and buggy when they brought that act in. It’s really outdated and it’s really inappropriate in a lot of areas,” Thompson said. “For one thing, it shouldn’t be controlling gravel. Coal and gold, sure, but gravel should be controlled by the local communities.”

The group gathered peacefully in Heritage Park and after a few speeches, people were encouraged to gather around a picnic table

to sign a petition to the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources to allow local control of gravel mining throughout the province. From there, the group moved up to McDougald Road to check out the gravel pit in question.

“If you drive into Peachland you can see all the gravel pits along Highway 97C, which are appropriate. We need gravel and we’re sup-portive of gravel. We’re not against gravel in any way. It’s just where the gravel comes from,” Neufeld said.

Th ank-you rally more like a picnic than a protest

The highlight of the spawning season will arrive on Sunday, September 19, when the annual Kokanee salmon festival returns to Hardy Falls.

Land-locked salmon began their return for fall spawning back in late August and since then, interpret-ers from the Regional District of the Central Okana-gan (RDCO) have been at Hardy Falls each weekend to offer fall fi sh programming. The interpreters will still be at Hardy Falls from noon until 4 p.m. each weekend until October 10, but one of the best times to visit is during the festival.

Not only will interpreters explain the Kokanee spawning cycle and offer visitors the chance to wit-ness some of the process in action, but there will also be crafts, activities, hot dogs and refreshments avail-able. Denise and Chris Krahn of Westside Curb Ap-peal will be serving the hot dogs and refreshments in exchange for voluntary non-perishable food donations or a loonie to be donated to the Peachland Food Bank. They’ve also organized a colouring contest for chil-dren. See last week’s View for the colouring page to complete and bring to the festival.

The Peachland Sportsmen Association also has ac-tivities planned for young people.

The park is located just off Highway 97 at the south end of Peachland. The festival takes place on Sunday, September 19 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

RCMP members cy-cled into Peachland last Friday and arrested May-or Keith Fielding at the municipal hall as part of the annual Cops for Kids fundraising event. Ser-vice groups and residents arrived at the Gasthaus to offer ‘bail money’ to free the mayor. Arresting the mayor is a new twist for the fundraiser, but it seems to have worked.

The Peachland Lions Club and the Peach-land Rotary Club each donated $1,000, and combined with personal donations, over $2,000 was raised in Peachland.

“I can assure you this is the fi rst time I’ve ever been arrested and it’s quite a humbling expe-rience, but it’s all for a good cause and I’m very grateful to the people in Peachland who have supported this cause,”

Mayor Fielding told the View. “If you haven’t had an opportunity to do-nate to Cops for Kids, I would encourage you to do so...as readers may or may not know, their funding is for children in need in all kinds of crisis situations, so I’m very happy to participate,” the mayor said.

If you didn’t make it to the Gasthaus last Friday and would like to make a donation, it isn’t too late.

“Contributing to a worthy cause, Cops for Kids, which benefi ts kids in the Okanagan and Central Interior, has never been easier with

the advent of technolo-gy. All you need to do is go to www.copsforkids.org. There will be a link where you will be con-nected to an online do-nation option. As well, you can keep up to date on the adventures of our riders for the next 10 days with our blog that we will be uploading to daily,” Const. Steve Hol-mes said.

The Cops for Kids Charitable Foundation raises funds to help sup-port children, who much endure mental, physical and emotional crisis in the Southern Interior of BC.

Visitors to Working Horse Winery on Sep-tember 12 were treated not only to great wine and tapas, but they also had the chance to catch a rare concert performance by world-renowned harp guitarist, Jason Carter, as a tribute to artist Betty Spackman.

The English harp gui-tarist, along with To-ronto singer-songwriter Jeanine Noyes, travelled to the Okanagan for just two performances – the opening of Spackman’s exhibition at the Pent-icton Art Gallery and a celebration concert at Working Horse Winery.

“Both concerts have been very intimate,” Carter told the View, “That’s why everyone can see what’s going on and experience it. It’s much more powerful than a bigger concert.”

For many in the au-dience at the Working Horse Winery concert, it was the fi rst time they had heard Carter’s unique instrument.

“What I play is the harp guitar. The harp guitar is basically a baroque in-strument. It’s just about survived. It’s had a few revival moments in the last 300 years. [It has re-gained popularity] main-ly because of YouTube and Michael Hedges, an American guitarist who died about 10 years ago. For me, when I saw that video one afternoon it just made sense to me.

The guitar has been my instrument since I was nine and now the harp guitar really is my instru-ment,” Carter explained.

For those who missed the concert or would like to hear more of the harp guitarist, Carter’s new album is being pressed now and should be re-leased in a couple weeks at www.jasoncarter.net.

Jeanine Noyes opened the show, and like Cart-er, she came to support her longtime friend, Bet-ty Spackman.

“Betty and I met in Eu-rope and have been in touch over the last fi ve years. I’ve watched the show evolve so I want-ed to come out for the opening,” Noyes told the View. “It’s fi ve years of work she’s put into this show and it is amazing. Everybody should go see it,” the singer-songwriter said after her set. Noyes wrote a song, Bones, specifi cally for Spack-man’s exhibition, which features a number of re-covered animal bones.

If her name sounds fa-miliar, Spackman calls Langley home these days, but she grew up in Peachland and was glad to have the opportunity to celebrate the opening of her exhibition with a concert at Working Horse Winery.

“This celebration here is really special to me be-cause a lot of the people

that are here tonight ac-tually got involved in the exhibition as volunteers, cleaning bones and working through some of my process. We really wanted to have a party at the end of it. It’s a nice connection with the Working Horse Winery because it’s an organic winery and some of my show is about those kinds of issues…this was a special place that con-nected with the show and Sara and Tillman are both really interested in the arts, so it’s a good connection,” Spackman said.

Spackman also has paintings on display at

Working Horse Winery until the end of Sep-tember. While Working Horse has featured art-ists and hosted concerts in the past, it’s some-thing they hope to do a lot more of in the future, so you can add venue to farm, inn and win-ery when you’re looking for ways to describe the unique business.

The paintings on dis-play at Working Horse are completely different from the installation piece Spackman has on exhibition at the Pentic-ton Art Gallery, which is a good reason why peo-ple might want to check out both.

Spackman’s exhibition at Penticton Art Gallery, Found Wanting: a mul-timedia installation re-garding grief and grati-tude, is the culmination of fi ve years of work.

“The main material in the exhibition is ani-mal bones. I have a full room, 3,000 square foot installation happening with video and sound, as well,” Spackman says.

Among other ideas, the exhibition explores the source of our food

and the implications of its relationship to the consumer.

Found Wanting opened on September

10 and runs until No-vember 7. For more in-formation, visit www.pen t i c t ona r t ga l l e ry.com.

� IN BRIEF by Joanne Layh

Look before you wash

District staff are advis-ing residents to check their water colour be-fore washing clothes after September 27, when Peachland’s water department will begin fl ushing water mains. The annual program will take place through-out the district and is expected to take up to three weeks to complete.

District staff say the fl ushing may result in the water supply show-ing sediment and dis-colouration in various areas.

“The sediment is bacte-rially harmless, however, may cause some discol-oration to laundry if not detected. To avoid any inconvenience, check the water colour prior to using,” water mechanic

lead hand Wayne Marce-niuk says.

Marceniuk says that if you do experience dirty water, simply run a cold water tap until the water clears up.

For more information, contact the public works offi ce at 250.767.2108.

After 30 years in the computer systems de-velopment business, I started work as a tour guide in the year 2000. Before I was hired, there was an initial interview, a three-day in-house workshop and then (for those selected), it was off across Canada by bus. It wasn’t until the end of the training tour that I was offered a job as tour guide. Most of the new tour guides were from Britain, with just six Canadians on board. During the training tour, we were all given an op-portunity to play the role of tour guide and sit in the front seat with the microphone. Everyone had their own style of commentary; some con-centrated on Canadian history, some talked about the economy of the area, some told jokes. It was a learning experi-ence for all of us. After our arrival at the hotel in the late afternoon, the UK training manager discussed our perform-ances with suggestions for improvement. By the end of the two-week tour (from Quebec City to Victoria), we were all

“fully trained” and ready to go. Then we were given our tour assign-ments and it was into the deep-end; sink or swim. If your tours went well, you were still a tour guide the next year; if not, well thanks and goodbye.

I found it amazing that so many British people came to Canada every year for a vacation. My company organized over 300 tours involving a total of over 10,000 vis-itors each year, and that was just one of several companies bringing Brit-ish people to Canada. My fi rst tour was called a “coast to coast” tour starting in Montreal (with apologies to the four Atlantic provinces). After a few anxious hours at the airport, we were on our way to the hotel and check-in. I found out very quickly that hotel check-in was one of the many stressful times during the tour. Some hotels assign rooms ac-cording to the informa-tion provided, others are not so effi cient. My job was to check the room-ing list, hand out the keys and deal with any

problems. One of the biggest problems used to be non-smokers get-ting rooms smelling of smoke. These days many hotels are completely non-smoking, so it is less of a problem.

The tour groups usu-ally include a wide var-iety of circumstances. Some people have saved up for 10 years to come to Canada and it might be their fi rst holiday out-side of Europe; the holi-day of a lifetime. Others had travelled the world and told me about their trip to South Africa last year and their plans to visit Australia next year. In Canada, the highlight for most tour groups is being in the Rocky Mountains. The journey from Lake Louise to Jas-per on the Icefi eld Park-way is called the wonder highway for its spectacu-lar views of glaciers, lakes and mountains. It’s a road you could travel a hundred times and enjoy it every time. Despite the many wonderful places to visit in Canada, many people tell me that the most important thing that made their holiday so great was the oppor-

tunity to share their ex-periences with others. Being in a group of 40 travellers gives you the opportunity to make friends. When your trav-el day is fully planned, you can relax and not have to worry about the details; just sit back and enjoy.

I have looked after many groups that stay in Kelowna. Visiting the Okanagan Valley chan-ges the way people think about Canada. For most British people, Canada is a land of snow and ice and cold temperatures; they don’t expect to fi nd Canadian wineries. For Peachland to attract tour companies, they need a

smart modern hotel. Per-haps the redevelopment of the Edgewater Hotel will give the town the opportunity to bring vis-itors in large numbers. Building a new hotel on Beach Avenue would seem to be a project that everyone could support. Tour groups eat out and spend money; it would help a lot of Peachland businesses.

Some people think that being a tour guide is an easy job. Whilst some tours are easier than others, there are many potential problems. My job is to try to avoid prob-lems and that is where experience defi nitely helps. A common chal-lenge is where to stop for coffee or lunch or just to use washroom facilities. What might be an easy stop for four people can be a diffi cult situation when the bus stops and 48 people get off. Many restaurants can’t handle such large groups. Even when you call ahead and make a booking, the un-expected can happen. I can recall arranging for a morning coffee stop at a restaurant that could hold about 60 people. As we approached the restaurant, I could see another tour bus un-loading a group of about 50 people. We booked, they didn’t, but now we had to fi nd an alternative

stop in a small town. Every year my com-

pany organized moretours than the previ-ous year and then along came September 11, 2001; after that business fell by half. By 2008, we were back at pre-2001 numbers, but then along came the world econom-ic crisis. During the last two years, the long-haul tour business from the UK has been in rapid decline. There have been bankruptcies and mer-gers within the UK travel industry. In the last three years the exchange rate for the British pound has changed dramatically from about $2.5 to the pound to $1.6. The real-ity is that the British are not coming to Canada in such large numbers any more. For Canadian hotels and bus compan-ies, it is a diffi cult time, but Canada is a tourist destination with a great reputation. At the end of a tour, many people tell me that I live in a great country and they have found Canadians to be very friendly. I am sure that the travel business in Canada will make a full recovery but it may have to change. It is likely that in the future, increased business may well be from Asia rather than Europe. Maybe it’s time for me to learn a new language.

This week the all party Select Standing Committee on Legislative Initiatives unanimously passed a mo-tion to refer the citizen’s initiative to Elections BC for what will ultimately become a province-wide referendum on September 24, 2011. There will certainly be citizens who both agree and disagree with this decision to hold a BC-wide vote on this subject. Ultimately, this is an important mat-ter, as the outcome of the initiative referendum vote will affect future taxation policy in British Columbia. As the initiative referendum vote will be roughly one year away, I encour-age all citizens to give some serious thought to taxation policy in our province and what tax structure you believe will treat people most fairly and at the same time allow BC to be competitive with other jurisdic-tions. If there is any further informa-tion that can be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

Last week I was honoured to join

many elected officials as we gathered north of Summerland to celebrate the completion of the Highway 97 project and to congratulate the ef-forts of the workers involved. This was a very challenging project that was further compli-cated by the untimely rockslide. I would also like to commend the nearby area residents and the travelling pub-lic for their patience and support through-out the construction phase of this consider-able undertaking. Pri-or to the completion of this project and the recent upgrades com-pleted further north of Summerland, there were roughly 18 km of road that had claimed 11 lives with a further 200 injuries reported. The workers on this project have much to be proud

of. They not only moved mountains, but public safety has also been sig-nificantly increased in the process. It was a job well done.

The Summerland highway im-provement project was one that

many citizens advo-cated the need for and was part of several projects and services that have now become available to the resi-dents of this area. Do you have a suggestion for other government priorities? The Select Standing Committee on Finance and Gov-ernment Services is currently touring Brit-ish Columbia to hear from residents and or-ganizations first hand regarding what priori-ties you believe should

be addressed by government. For the first time in several years, the com-

mittee will be appearing in Penticton on Wednesday, September 22 from 9 a.m. until noon. If you or your or-ganization would like to make a pre-sentation to the committee, please contact our office directly for further information.

Finally, this week I have some good news that you may not have heard about. BC Housing starts for August were 24 per cent higher over July and showed a pattern of increased growth over last year. On the same theme, BC’s August job numbers also show an increase of 5,400 new jobs as our unemployment rate fell to 7.3 per cent, the fourth lowest rate in the country. While we still have a ways to go, the trend is looking up, much as is the case in Mackenzie, BC, where a saw mill has re-opened and 220 workers are back on the job. Locally it is very rewarding to hear that our SOEC has recently sold out, and dragon boat and jazz enthusiasts have gathered to fill the town in what is normally our shoulder season.

FRIDAY SATURDAYWEDNESDAY THURSDAYMONDAY TUESDAYSUNDAY

FRIDAY SATURDAYWEDNESDAY THURSDAYMONDAY TUESDAYSUNDAY

By Wolfgang Muhs

Last week, 12 members of the Peachland New-comers Club went on an outing to explore some hidden gems of Summer-land. Bottleneck Drive is the name of the seg-ment of the Okanagan Wine Route which leads through the vineyards and orchards of Summer-land.

The tour began with a walk through the Orna-mental Gardens of the Agricultural Research Station. The park is open to the public and one of the well kept secrets of our region. Located on a ridge above the lake, a stroll through the park rewards the visitor not only with beautiful views of ma-jestic trees in an English style garden setting, but also with views of Lake Okanagan. The visitors also found the butterfl y and the xeriscape gardens very interesting.

The fi rst winery the group visited was Silk-scarf Winery. It derives its name from the silk scarves worn by early fl y-ing pioneers. Since the owner is a pilot himself, he picked the name be-cause it combined two of his passions. We tasted some of the new releases of the winery, including the Merlot Rosé, which seemed to be a crowd pleaser.

Lunch was reserved just a short distance away at Sonoran Estates, a win-ery that cultivates Oran-iensteiner, the original grape varietal from which the fi rst ice wine was pro-duced in Germany. The club enjoyed the relaxed family type atmosphere with the owner joining the group for a chat.

The trip continued to Summerland Sweets, an establishment which has been around since 1962 and must have been a favourite for generations of kids and adults with a sweet tooth. While most

members of the group crowded the ice cream booth, a few more adven-turous souls tasted sev-eral fruit wines which the company produces under the Sleeping Giant label. These wines are made the same way as wines from grapes and are a far cry from the fruit wines some of us have produced in our basements.

It was just a few hun-dred metres to the next stop, the Kettle Val-ley Railway bridge over Trout Creek. As luck would have it, an excur-sion steam train arrived at the station just as we got there. We admired the locomotive, which had been restored with great care and which reminded us of the importance this form of transportation had in the past.

The next tour stop was at the Dirty Laundry Winery, which is located a short distance up the hill from Trout Creek. Again, the group was re-ceived with great hospi-tality by the winery staff. Unfortunately a good number of Dirty Laun-dry’s wines are already sold out, a clear sign that this place produces wines of great quality. While we tasted the types of wine that are still available, we were told of the history of the winery’s name. The name comes from

an early 1900’s laundry in Summerland that was run by a Chinese immi-grant who secretly ran a brothel on the side. The winery has continued the theme in the graphic design of their labels and with product names like “Hush”, “Naughty Char-donnay” and “Bordello”. Dirty Laundry demon-strates that you need to have a good product and good marketing to be suc-cessful in the competitive wine business.

The fi nal stage of the tour was a small farm winery called Hollywood & Wine. The owner spent many years in the Van-couver movie industry, therefore the name which refers to Hollywood North. The winery is lo-cated in the backcountry of Summerland and is easy to miss. Having only 10 acres under cultivation somewhat limits the dif-ferent varieties the com-pany can offer, but they do grow a very interest-ing Pinot varietal called Leon Millot. This varietal is used in France mainly to blend with Pinot to give the wine colour and depth. On its own, this wine surprises with mild acidity, plum notes and light tannins. A defi nite bargain among the reds of the Okanagan!

That winery marked the end of the Newcomers

Club’s Wine Tour. Every-one agreed that we should repeat such tours, maybe

with different destina-tions in the future. Our experience showed us

again the many interest-ing features of the regionwe all now call home.

2010 byelection -Peachland votes October 16, 2010 ��By Joanne Layh

The 10-day nomination period is over and two candidates have emerged: Patricia Eldridge and Charlotte Broadoway. If you’re not familiar with these names now, you will be before voting day. That’s because for the next few weeks the Peachland View will help you get to know the candidates and where they stand on some of the issues facing Peachland. Between now and

October 8, each week we’ll pose two questions to the candidates and print their responses. We also welcome your responses. If you have an opinion you’d like to share about the candidates, send your letter to [email protected].

Who will be the next person to join Peachland council is up to you. The byelection is scheduled to take place on October 16, with advance voting planned for October 6 and 13.

What are the issues facing Peachland?

Some of the obvious issues fa-cing Peachland, as most people would know by reading the View or keeping abreast of the council meetings, are:

• Our water system improvement and meter billing;

• Downtown revitalization;• The gravel pit issue;• The highway bypass;• Seniors housing;• The old schoolhouse;• Trepanier and Pincushion Moun-

tain development; and • Development in general.However, the issue that I feel is

most important is our overall fail-ure to foster a sense of community. This may come as a bit of a shock to some of our seniors as that par-ticular segment of our population is absolutely vibrant, with a tre-mendous penchant for volunteer-ism that is probably the envy of many other towns.

Without their hours and hours of self less and cheerful donations of time and passion, this town would be little more than a dust bowl of tumbleweeds.

There seems to be a great dispar-ity or vacuum, if you will, as far as activities or interests to attract and keep young adults and families working and playing in Peachland.

Yes, summers here are great with the lake activities, but I am often asked, “What is there to do here in the winter time?”

Well, unfortunately, the answer to that question is, “If you are not over 55, go north young man, go north!” Westbank and Kelowna, with their swimming pools, skat-ing arenas, curling rinks, etc. is “the place you ought to be!”

If elected, how will you ap-proach development issues as

they come before you as a coun-cillor?

For a town of just under 5,000 people, we don’t have a tax base that would support these large ticket items. A skating rink would have been ideal as they bring a sense of community to small towns for young families. But with a price tag of $16 million, I don’t think we will see it in my lifetime. Oh, wait a second, we almost got a curling rink for only $1.2 million. Isn’t curling an Olympic sport now? What happened people?

I know, this is an unpopular stance to take since 600 voted for it and 1,300 voted against it, but perhaps we can explore what went wrong leading up to the election. It’s water under the bridge now, but this is an opportunity to per-haps revisit the mistakes made and point our town in the right direc-tion for the future.

Town development evolves from the input of many different depart-ments and avenues of government interaction. The planning depart-ment looks at what is feasible and is in conjunction with our local and environmental bylaws.

By the time development issues are brought to council most of the decisions are black and white. The ones that are not need to be care-fully assessed and addressed by gaining all the knowledge of the project as possible and then mak-ing an educated decision. This de-cision must not ref lect any bias or preconceived ideas that I hold and must be made in the interest and betterment of the town of Peach-land.

What are the issues facing Peachland?

I believe there a number of issues facing Peachland at the moment. A number of citizens have expressed concern regarding the gravel pit, the Primary School, recreation pro-grams and services, redevelopment of the downtown, water billing, park-ing along Beach Avenue, recreation vehicle (boat) parking/moorage, a safe off-leash park for dog owners and youth programs. Obviously there are many more issues within the com-munity and I cannot list them all. However, it is my goal to be available to the citizens of the community to hear their concerns and answer any questions they may have.

Regarding the Primary School, some of the concerns that I have come across involve the use of the building, the desire by some of the commun-ity to have it demolished, health and safety and the wildlife conservation involved.

The redevelopment of the down-town is a major undertaking. With TNI Property Management signing the Letter of Intent, it will be nice to see their endeavour come to fruition. If elected, it will be a pleasure to be involved in the planning to see how it will benefi t the community and what it will mean for the current business-es downtown.

Throughout the summer, one of the leading concerns of many of the citizens and tourists has been rec-reational vehicle parking, including truck/trailer parking and boat moor-age. Many users have complained that they are not able to park on or

off the water and use the services of the businesses downtown. This issue will obviously not be pressing now that summer is over, but it will arise again year after year and I believe there needs to be a solution.

If elected, how will you approach development issues as they come

before you as a councillor?When faced with development

issues, there are a number of things I would do if elected. Firstly, I will research the issue and get the facts. I will look at the positive and negative effects that the issue has on the com-munity as a whole. When the issue moves to discussion with council and district staff, I will be involved in not only voicing my opinion and presenting the facts, but working with everyone involved to fi nd the best possible solution. I feel I must be open-minded in the process and lis-ten to all sides of the debate. I would ask: what will this development do for the future of the Peachland? What will it offer back to the community (employment, recreation, services, etc.)? Will it meet the needs of the community as a whole (not just one group of people)? Is the plan viable and sustainable? Will this plan meet current and future environmental in-itiatives? What will the cost of the development be to the taxpayer and is this what the community wants?

I understand that getting through the processes of development is not an easy task. However, I will accept the challenges the process presents, with the citizens foremost in my mind.

Agent of Change working for YOU


By Patricia Day

Congratulations to Flight Sergeant David Rojas, a Peachland am-bassador candidate, upon receiving his wings at the recent graduat-ing ceremony held in Comox, BC. Like many young people in Canada, David was fi rst intro-duced to the art of fl ying through the cadet corps. This training sometimes becomes a lifetime hob-by or even a profession. We congratulate David on his accomplishment.

Moving on to enter-tainment, Gypsy Butter-fl y performed last Friday night at Branch 69. This was the fi rst time that Gypsy Butterfl y has en-tertained at our local Le-gion. Her trio delighted the audience with their soulful renditions of orig-inal and popular songs, such as, Johnny Nash’s, “I Can See Clearly Now”.

If you should know of an entertainer that mem-bers of the Legion would

enjoy, please drop a note to the bartender, which they will forward on to the entertainment chair-person. The stage at the Legion could be a place for local talent to get their beginning. In or-der for those who are not members of the Legion to come in to hear a group, the one requirement is that a Legion member sponsors them and that the visitor signs the visi-tor book. This tradition has always been part of the Legion and is prac-ticed no matter what Le-gion branch you might visit in the country.

Are you an early bird yet? Don’t forget to pay your annual dues of $46. Simply visit Branch 69 and give the bartender on duty your cheque or money and they will give you a receipt. In a matter of a few days, you will re-ceive that magic card.

There will be a general meeting at 1930 hours on September 27. Do you have plans to attend? It is

important that everyone who holds a membership card attend the monthly meetings to help make important decisions that concern the Legion. Why would one become a member of an organiza-tion and not wish to par-take in the activities?

Did you know that Branch 69 sponsored a baseball team this year? They wore with pride some spanky shirts with the Branch 69 logo. There are other teams that you may wish to join, such as darts, snooker, cribbage or chess. Some of these teams compete with other Legions and travel to various events. It is always great to go to other branches and see their operations. New friendships can also be developed during team play. If one of these ac-tivities might be for you, give the Legion a call at 250.767.9100 for further information.

Be sure to mark Octo-ber 9 in red on your cal-

endar. That is the date for the Lobster Feast, and a feast it will be! Fresh lobsters will be fl own in from Nova Scotia espe-cially for this event. The price has not yet been determined, but get your reservations in early, as seating will be limited. Those of you who have partaken of this event before know what a great evening is in store for everyone…except for the lobsters, of course.

November is an impor-tant month for two rea-sons: Remembrance Day and branch elections. If you would like to partici-pate in the Remembrance Day services or have an idea that would benefi t the event, let me know. Elections are very impor-tant as they set the tone for the coming year. In order to stand for offi ce, one must attend three meetings during the year. Let’s see more members out to the general meet-ings. Who knows, you might even enjoy them!

Great Place...Great People...

By Ana Frias

This is by far the most diffi cult article I have writ-ten for the Peachland View to date – the one where I get to say ‘see you later’. My time as Peachland’s community youth worker has come to an end and I’m heading on to a new opportunity. I will still be working for the Okana-gan Boys and Girls Clubs, but with a program called Youth Options. This pro-gram is for youth, ages 13 to 18, wanting to prevent, reduce or quit drug and/or alcohol use. Youth Op-tions is available to youth from Peachland to Oya-ma and anyone can refer a youth to the program. Each session runs for 12 weeks and is completely free of charge. Youth are provided with the tools needed to make positive changes, as well as op-portunities to participate in recreational activities and gain valuable life skills. The next session will be starting in Octo-ber. You can contact me at 250.869.6983 or [email protected] for more information or to refer a youth to the program.

My time in Peachland has been a very positive experience and I have enjoyed the opportunity to get to know you all. I felt very welcomed by ev-eryone in the community over the last year. Thank you for giving me the op-

portunity to work in the community and for sup-porting me in my role as your youth worker. It is with sadness I say ‘see you later’ to this program and the youth of Peach-land, but with excitement that I introduce Peach-land’s new community youth worker, Gray. I am confi dent that Gray will do an amazing job and look forward to seeing the program grow in the years to come.

Thank you all,Ana

Hello Peachland!By Gray Winchell

My name is Gray Winchell and I’m very excited to say that I am the new Peachland com-munity youth worker with the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club. Having worked with the Boys and Girls Club at Webber Road Community Centre as the recreation program area leader, I feel very for-tunate to transition into this new opportunity. For the last fi ve years I have worked for not-for-profi t agencies in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in addition to working in the northwest-ern tip of Alberta, all in the capacity of recreation programmer and youth worker.

My background is root-ed in both arts and rec-reation. I grew up in To-ronto playing competitive sports, particularly base-

ball and basketball (and tons of shinny-hockey!), but later developed a pas-sion for the arts, specifi -cally music, painting and drama. As my exploration of the arts developed, so did my character. This was no accident. I be-lieve there is a direct link to self-expression and the development of iden-tity, self-esteem, creativ-ity, confi dence, pride, cul-ture, hope, imagination and even a healthy dose

of humility. Today I fi nd it hugely

rewarding to share these passions with young lead-ers of all backgrounds, from all corners of our beautiful country. Through these experienc-es I have watched many youth benefi t from a stronger sense of self and a far greater understand-ing of their own creative capacities, be it through arts or recreation. This process is a powerful one,

and an inspiring one to observe. Fostering the talents of our future lead-ers through activities that create self-respect and a feeling of empowerment becomes a necessary step towards building a healthier community. It is my vision, then, to help manifest the strengths of our Peachland youth in a positive, uplifting and

creative environment.Through music, sports,drama, dance, volun-teering, building, and somuch more, I will worktowards providing ouryouth with the opportuni-ties they deserve! Thankyou so much for the warmwelcome, Peachland andI look forward to workingwith and for your com-munity.

Hentzelt, Hans-Juergen-Born in Riga, Latvia on April 1, 1924. It is with great sadness we say goodbye to our beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather and devoted husband. Hans passed away on September 8th, 2010 following a year long battle with cancer. He will be greatly missed by his wife Christa of almost 60 years, their four children Marilene (Eugene), Marianne (Don), Irene (Brian), Richard (Petra). He will also be missed by his ten grandchildren, Eric (Kari), Karl, Natalie, Dieta (Duncan), Gord, Rich, Katie, Errol, Ayla, and Andrew. His two great grandchildren Blake and Cole will also miss their Opa. He will be lovingly remembered by all who knew him as a kind and gentle person. Donations may be

made on his behalf to the Cancer Agency.

Hentzelt, Hans-Juergen

Gerhart (Gerry) Langner suddenly passed away peacefully at his home on Wednesday, September 8, 2010. He will be sorely missed by his large extended family. He was much loved as a brother, uncle, great grandfather, grandfather, father and most importantly as a husband of 43 years to Mary. He will be forever remembered for his kindness, generosity and unconditional love for his family & friends. He was one of a kind and could fix anything “the Langner way”, - not always the best

way, but “good enough”.

“Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,Love leaves a memory no one can steal.”

A celebration of Gerry’s life will be held on Saturday, September 18, 2010 from 12 – 3 pm at the Peachland Royal Canadian Legion,4407 – 2nd St., Peachland. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting

It was a bad week of publicity for churches. The now well-known Pastor Terry Jones and his plan to burn the Qur’an on 9/11 drew Christianity into the limelight in a rather undesirable way. On the whole, churches don’t mind publicity. I love reading articles about churches that are making a positive impact on their com-munities. We really do have something good to offer. What we saw this week is definitely not it. For a clear pic-ture of how a church

can make a lasting im-pact on its community, we’ve got to go back to the beginning.

When we read about the early church - and by early church I mean the group of Jesus’ fol-lowers that lived dur-ing the time immedi-ately after his death and resurrection – we read about a group of 3,000 people who committed their lives to Jesus in a single day. That in itself is an in-credible story…for an-other day. This group continued to grow and inf luence their city in

such amazing ways that the momentum created then carried the message through the centuries to today.

A number of key ingredients contrib-uted to the inf luence and growth of the early church. Luke, a physician closely con-nected to Jesus’ clos-est friends, wrote a detailed account in his book, called Acts of the Apostles, about how this group of people lived together. This community of people devoted itself to the teaching of the

small number of those who had walked with Jesus from the begin-ning of His own pub-lic ministry. In other words, they were very focused on learning and imitating what Jesus taught and how He lived. It was a com-munity that dedicated itself to developing deep friendships – nothing shallow here. They gathered in each other’s homes to eat together with a focus on remembering Jesus’ death and resurrec-tion. They prayed together regularly.

One very dynamic characteristic of the early church was the many miracles that took place as prayers were offered for those with medical concerns. All kinds of physical conditions were cor-rected instantly. These miracles confirmed that the story of Jesus was true. Finally, people sold property and shared assets for the purpose of elim-inating poverty. For a time, we read that there was no poor among them. When an outsider looked in and saw what was going on, it was almost im-possible to stay away. The love this spiritual community displayed for each other and for God was irresistible. That’s the kind of pub-licity a church could enjoy!

What we have seen over the past week is not what church is about. Ours is a mes-sage of love, not hate. Jesus taught His fol-lowers to love and to serve friends and per-ceived enemies alike.

He even went so far as to warn His follow-ers that they could be tortured and killed by those who rejected their message. There was no talk about revenge. Severe per-secution is exactly what happened and still happens in many parts of the world. Not everyone appreciates the message of Jesus, even if it resembles the glory days of old.

I hope people are discerning enough to note that Jones’ ac-tions do not ref lect the majority of Christians around the world. For those of you who prac-tice Islam and may be reading this article, please understand that the actions you have seen this week do not represent the real pic-ture of Jesus Christ or His followers any more than the radical fun-damentalist Muslims who f lew airplanes into the World Trade Center represent you.

This week’s experi-ence reminds churches to re-examine their purpose and method-ology. Although we can’t always control the publicity we re-ceive, we can live out Christianity the way it was supposed to be. Maybe Terry Jones for-got to go back to the beginning.
