PEACHLAND FALL FAIR

HARVEST TIME Peachland Fall Fair celebrates hand-made and home-grown By Jeff McDonald Local Journalism Initiative Reporter

ith apps, emails and streaming, we live in a digital world most of the time. But Peachland’s Fall Fair on Saturday September 12 and Sunday September 13 is a chance to celebrate things that people create not with their computers but with their hands, in their kitchens, workshops and gardens. Fall Fair vice-president Daniela Evans said this year’s theme – Hands That Harvest, Hearts That Craft – reflects the desire for people to create tangible, not digital, things. “It might be from a backyard garden, you might be

baking or preserving something that’s been in your family recipe book for decades. A lot of people are shy, but this is a chance to showcase what you do.” Showcase categories include baking and preserves, flowers, needlework, fruit and nuts, vegetables, eggs & honey, handicrafts, flower arranging, and photography, including junior photography. People from Peachland or anywhere in the Okanagan can enter, said Evans. “Our first objective is to showcase what is handmade or homegrown, and allow people to enjoy those things, those efforts. So that’s why we have so many categories,” she said. “We have judges that come

and phosphorus. It is also useful to chop and drop onto the soil as mulch to retain moisture and add nutrients back into the soil. 5. Ground cover includes plants such as strawberries or violets. These act as a living mulch, to improve moisture retention and assist with weed suppression. 6. Root layer contains plants and tubers that grow under the ground, like carrots, garlic, and onions. 7. Vines make the final layer, like grapes and hops that spread through the layers. Having these interplanted crops improves disease resistance and creates resilience against changes in weather. This mini ecosystem supports a wide range of insects and microorganisms. Food forests require less water than traditional row plantings

with exposed soil, due to the dense planting and living mulches. Synthetic fertilizers are also reduced or eliminated because of the symbiotic relationship between the soil biology and variety of plants. Permaculture is a positive, regenerative practice that works great for the home gardener and the changing climate. It is a beneficial approach to reducing your footprint and eventually can be a self-sufficient blueprint for designing your yard. For more information about permaculture, keep your eyes on events at the Naramata Permaculture Farm Garden.

& EN M

ermaculture is a holistic gardening system that mimics natural ecosystems and patterns. It focuses on improving soil, conserving water, and creating low maintenance gardens with large yields. Permaculture is about rebuilding healthy ecosystems, promoting self reliance, while also sharing with your community. Permaculture encourages you to truly observe your overall and specific surroundings before planting. This includes local insects, animals, and microclimates -- areas in your yard that may be protected from snow and wind, or other areas that may be exposed to the elements. These all have an impact on what you should plant, or not plant, in your yard. Monitoring is a steady step in permaculture gardening, to adapt and accept feedback from your plants, and revise anything with negative results. Water and resource capture are also important aspects of permaculture design. If spring brings heavy rain, it is ideal to capture and save for when water isn’t abundant, which for the Okanagan is most of the summer. Permaculture promotes producing no waste, by composting, or reusing and repurposing. A broken rain barrel can be used as a planter, old logs can fill up space in the bottom of planters, old tights can be used to support your heavy squash or watermelons. Food forests are an incredible design used with permaculture principles. Multiple species and types of plants are integrated to imitate plants in nature. Food forests are planned in layers from canopy trees, down to root vegetables.

POST OPINION

H2O REDUCTION HABITS

TED’S RANT

Water, water everywhere

t remains to be seen whether the downpour of rain that Peachland received earlier this week has made any significant difference to reservoir levels and whether, in turn, that will have any effect current water restrictions. But, as Peachland Post goes to press Stage 3 restrictions remain in effect. Stage 3 restrictions distinguish between what homeowners are allowed to do based on whether the house number is odd or even. If your house has an even number in its address you can water your garden once per week on a Saturday. For houses with an odd number in the address, you can water on a Sunday. According to the District website one small drip can waste as much as 75 litres of water a day! It goes on to remind us: • Repair Leaky faucets and always turn off your taps tightly so they don’t drip. • Consider auto irrigation for

your lawn and garden. • Adjust sprinkler timers or place a tin can on the lawn to measure how long it takes to collect one inch of water. That’s how little your lawn needs each week even during warm weather. •C heck your toilets for leaks. Put a few drops of food coloring in your toilet tank. If, without flushing, colour appears in the bowl within 30 minutes, you have a leak and it should be repaired immediately. • Install water-efficient plumbing fixtures such as low-flow shower heads and toilets that use six liters of water or less per flush. If you have an older toilet, simply place a weighted plastic bottle filled with water or sand in the water tank to reduce the amount of water per flush. • Adjust the water level of your washing machine and use cold or warm water instead of hot. And, when we save water - we save money too.

By Ted Cave We may have become used to driving on a parkway and parking on a driveway but the time has come to put an end to the misuse of language. What we need is clear, accurate, unambiguous ways to communicate our meaning. For example, when did it become legitimate to say you will bring something to your neighbours pot luck rather than take it, or (unless you are a flat earth believer) to speak of going across the world instead of round it? Too picky? Not so! It is the thin end of the wedge and representative of errors often inspired by writers and professionals who should know better. Take for example the way that

some engineering types speak of cement when they really mean concrete. Buildings can collapse because of a mistake like that! Part of this trend towards confusing use of language can be blamed on the weather -- or more accurately on those who report on it. In their quest for the dramatic we now have to contend with a barrage of new weather terms designed to inspire shock and awe -- not that those two things can exist simultaneously. Yes, a bomb cyclone carried on an atmospheric river is being accompanied by a firenado and closely followed by thundersnow trapped under a heat dome caused by a polar vortex.

Return to three-year terms for council long overdue

ith the municipal elections just seven weeks away, anyone thinking of running for a seat on council needs to submit their nomination papers by next Friday. After that the gate closes, the list of candidates running is published and campaigns begin in earnest. Peachland Post will avoid taking an advocacy position with respect to any candidate but may continue to comment editorially on the issues and priorities we consider important for candidates to address. All candidates will be given sufficient space in this paper to allow them a head and shoulders picture and up to 200 words to explain why they are running, and what they hope to achieve. This applies not just to new candidates but

POLICY MATTERS Keith Fielding

also to those seeking re-election. Beyond that, candidates will be able to purchase space to promote their candidacy as they wish by contacting us at sales@peachlandpost.net Among the many issues that deter some would-be candidates from putting their name forward is the same issue that for some candidates adds appeal: namely the

four-year commitment involved. Depending on your perspective, four years may be a long time to commit to serving in any community capacity that carries with it significant and ongoing responsibility to serve. For others, clear about their capacity to deliver what is required, four years is preferable to a shorter term as it reduces the frequency of having to engage in a re-election campaign. However, the lens through which the issue needs to be viewed is really one for the community rather than the candidates. Until 2014 municipal elections in BC took place on a three-yearly cycle after which the current four-year terms were introduced, following advocacy by the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) citing reduced

election costs and better ability to oversee long term projects. But what if the council you get turns out to be dysfunctional (as for example in Kamloops) or one that is not addressing important issues in the manner expected? It is for just such possibilities that a return to three year terms makes perfect sense. No community needs four years to render a report card on the council they elected, and all communities deserve the right to render their verdict at the ballot box far sooner. A return to three-year terms is long overdue. Keith Fielding is President of the Peachland Community Newspaper Society and editor of Peachland Post. He is also a former Peachland mayor and councillor.

Jackson and I got the kids to practice their throw ins by throwing balls, like a soccer player, into the draw string soccer bags at the end of each session. A win-win as it got the balls collected quickly plus taught the kids how to do a throw in at the end of each practice. One evening, 6-year-old Sean B threw two balls perfectly into the bag, then grabbed a third ball with a Dennis the Menace look in his eye. Sean lined up to do his last soccer throw in, but yelled, “BACKBOARD” before throwing and bounced the ball off my head and into the ball bag.

cheer our Seniors co-ed slo-pitch team. The young boys and girls rooted us on without incident until the third inning when the ump made a terrible call against us. The kids saw that we were upset about the call and supported us, as only young kids can. Fifteen Peachland boys and girls, aged 4-6 years, started chanting “UMP YOU SUCK” in unison, repeatedly to the poor beleaguered ump until the instructors hurriedly ushered them all back to the Boys and Girls Club. It was like a scene out of Monty Python. Both teams, and the ump, were all laughing their heads off. Another heartwarming moment was when the teams played their first games in April 2023, in Penticton. The Peachland boys did well in their games. After, I asked soccer Mom Shauna Quinn and her daughter Lucy about the girls. “How did the girls do, Shauna?” I asked. Shauna pumped her fist and yelled, “THE PEACHLAND GIRLS KICKED ASS!!!” “Great,” I said, “How many goals did you get, Lucy?” “THREE!” she yelled, pumping her fist like her Mom. “And how many are you going to get next week?” “FOUR!” she yelled and, as it turned out, she did get four the following week. I knew, the minute I heard from Shauna and Lucy, that the Peachland girls and boys were both going to have a good soccer season. And they have, for four seasons now.

PEACHLAND FALL FAIR

Hands that harvest, hearts that craft FAIR FROM PAGE 1

in with various areas of expertise and we give out the ribbons and we have trophies and just a chance to boast about what you’ve made or what you’ve created.” This year’s Fall Fair is the 107th annual. It’s a time to observe the changing of the season from summer to autumn, and the harvest season is a beautiful time in the Okanagan, Evans said. “It’s one of my favorite times of the year when you think about it, the air is crisp and the chance to wear sweaters and still go for a lovely walk along Beach Avenue. I love the fall, and the Fall Fair kickstarts the harvest season,” she said. Getting more young people involved in the fair is a goal, said Evans, and that’s what led to the introduction of zucchini car races at last year’s fair, including a category for grandparents and grandkids. “The zucchini car races was really about generating participation of all age groups. So we have our familiar five age groups that we did last year, but this year Sunday September 13 happens to be Grandparents’ Day. So we have a grandparent-grandchild team category called Roots and Shoots.” For anyone who doesn’t know, a zucchini car race is exactly what it sounds like, said Evans. You register and you get a zucchini with a kit that includes four wheels and a variety of axles to choose from and you build a car out of it. The zucchini cars race each other on a specially built three-lane track, about 28 feet long, which sits on the grass between the yellow schoolhouse and the community center. Paynter’s Market is donating the zucchinis, said Evans, and the rest is your imagination. “They’re given names, they’re decorated, they’re painted, there’s stickers on them, there’s little toys affixed to them. It’s hilarious,” she said.

“Last year we had 54 cars. I’m hoping we’ll surpass that this year.” A number of Peachland businesses are offering Fall Fair specials, said Evans. Some restaurants are offering discounts or special dishes during the fall fair weekend. A goal of the fall fair is to bring the community together, she said, and to promote Peachland as a place to spend time. “We’ve also taken steps to try and connect our community with other businesses and other activities, so we’re not just talking about connecting Peachland, but we’re also trying to encourage visitors to come and experience Peachland in a different way and see what we have to offer,” said Evans. “It’s not just about going to the community center to take a look at stuff on tables. We want to have you spend the afternoon in Peachland, once you’ve been to the fair, you can go to one of the restaurants.” For pie lovers, the popular pie and tea event will be held in the banquet room of the community centre in the Fuzzy Peach Cafe. Seven bucks gets you a slice of strawberry rhubarb, Saskatoon berry or peach pie with ice cream and a cup of coffee or tea or lemonade. It’s one way for the Fall Fair to cover some of the costs of putting on the event, said Evans, and another is a raffle they’re running this year, but the fair relies heavily on donations from sponsor businesses, donors and volunteers. “We have a fantastic group of volunteers. We have over 40 volunteers that almost for the entire year help plan or at the time that we conduct the event are here to help, and they’re willing to do anything and everything. And it really does run on the power and the generosity and the passion of the volunteers,” said Evans. Evans said she sees a trend back toward crafts and creating

POST RECIPE

Chocolate Hazelnut Pear Pie

With Lou and Martha

There are some recipes that just sound fancy enough to make you feel like you should be wearing pearls while you eat them. This is one of those recipes -- but don’t let the fancy name fool you. It’s actually quite simple, and the combination of chocolate, hazelnuts and pears is absolutely delicious.

BAKE: 400°F PAN: 9-inch tart or pie pan INGREDIENTS:

PASTRY: 1¼ cups all-purpose ﬂour ⅓ cup ground hazelnuts ¼ cup packed brown sugar Dash of salt ½ cup cold butter, cubed 3–5 tablespoons ice water

FILLING: 3 large eggs, separated and at room temperature ⅓ cup butter, softened ⅓ cup packed brown sugar A good splash of almond extract 1 cup ground hazelnuts 2 tablespoons baking cocoa 1–2 pears, peeled if desired 2 tablespoons honey, warmed

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400°F, placing a baking sheet inside to warm. MAKE THE PASTRY: 1. Mix ﬂour, ground hazelnuts, brown sugar and salt. 2. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly. A food processor works wonderfully for this. 3. Gradually add ice water, just until the dough holds together when

pressed. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. 4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a ⅛-inch-thick circle. Transfer it to a 9-inch fluted tart pan or pie pan. Don’t worry about trimming the edges -- the crust may shrink a little as it bakes. 5. Prick the bottom with a fork and refrigerate while you prepare the filling. MAKE THE FILLING: 1. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until blended. Beat in the egg yolks, almond extract, ground hazelnuts and cocoa. 2. With clean beaters, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. 3. Gently fold one-third of the egg whites into the hazelnut mixture, then fold in the remaining whites. 4. Spread the filling evenly over the pastry. 5. Arrange the pears on top. You can slice them thinly and overlap them, or go for a chunkier, more rustic look. We’d put the pears a little closer together next time—the more pear, the better! 6. Place the pie on the preheated baking sheet and bake on a lower oven rack for 30–35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set. 7. Brush the warm honey over the pears while the pie is still warm. Let

This short road, running off Buchanan Road in the Trepanier area of Peachland, is named for Fred Eyre who was a very early resident and businessman here. He, together with Arthur Cutbill, operated the first feed store in Peachland. This was a building on the lake side of Beach Avenue at the 1st Street wharf, the same building in which Mrs. Clarence had her first Edgewater Inn on the upper floor, before she moved across the road to the present site of the Edgewater Inn. In the years leading up to World War I, Peachland and other communities competed enthusiastically with War Canoe races. It is reported that both Fred Eyre and Arthur Cutbill were on the Peachland team. Considerably more seems to be known about Arthur Cutbill and his family than about Fred Eyre. It is thus surprising that Peachland has a road named for Eyre, but not for Cutbill. In the days when the community of Trepanier was an independent entity, Eyre Road was the site where the Trepanier Post Office was located.

cool on a wire rack. 7. Bake for about 35 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the cheese is bubbling. We served ours with a little coﬀee cream. Ice cream, but it is just too cold and seems to take away from that wonderful chocolate-hazelnut ﬂavour.

MARTHA & LOU’S VERDICT: This one is deﬁnitely worth making again. And next time, we’re adding more pears!

Martha and Lou are cooking and baking enthusiasts who met through pickleball. Both are from the Lower Mainland and now live in Peachland. Martha works part time at Peachland Elementary as a teacher aide and Lou is a retired nurse.

KITCHEN TIP:

A little tip from our kitchen: Don’t skip the warm honey at the end! Brushing it over the pears gives the pie a lovely glossy ﬁnish and just the right touch of sweetness.

POST CANADIANA

MUSIC HISTORY

A wonderful Canadian story by An Unknown Contributor

is name was Gordon Lightfoot. He was born in 1938 in Orillia, Ontario. He grew up singing in the church choir, learned guitar as a teenager. He became a folk singer in Toronto in the 1960s. By the 1970s, he was one of the most beloved voices in Canadian music history. On November 10, 1975, an iron ore freighter called the SS Edmund Fitzgerald was sailing across Lake Superior in a brutal November storm. She was the largest ship on the Great Lakes at the time, 222 metres long with a crew of 29. She broke apart in the storm and sank in 160 metres of cold black water. All 29 men on board died. The wreck was found weeks later, lying broken on the lake floor. Gordon Lightfoot read about the disaster in Newsweek magazine a few days after it happened. He saw the photographs of the families, read the names of the dead, and could not let it go. He wrote a song about it: “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” It was released in August 1976. Almost six minutes long, it was built around a mournful guitar pattern that echoed the rhythm of waves and a vocal that sounded like someone reading the last entries of a logbook. It reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the most famous songs ever written by a Canadian. Before he released the song, Gordon Lightfoot traveled to meet the families of the 29 men who had died. He played the song for them and asked their permission to release it. He wanted them to hear it first, to make sure the song hon-

oured the men, not exploited them. The families gave their blessing. Lightfoot did oane more thing. He set up a system that, for the rest of his career, sent royalty payments from “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” to the families of the dead crew. He didn’t make a press release about it or publicize this. He just did it. For nearly 50 years. He performed the song at thousands of concerts, on national television, for prime ministers and at memorial services on the Great Lakes. In 2010 a forensic study suggested a different cause of the Edmund Fitzgerald’s sinking. Lightfoot rewrote a single line of his lyrics for live performances, to be more historically accurate and respectful to the men who had died. Gordon Lightfoot died in May 2023. He was 84 years old. When the news broke, every radio station in Canada played his songs. There was a national outpouring. The Prime Minister and other Canadians gave tributes. But on the shores of Lake Superior, in the small towns where some of the 29 crewmen had come from, something else happened. People put flowers in the water. Some of the families’ descendants gathered to share what they had been quietly receiving for decades. A song. A monthly cheque. A musician who had treated the dead, and the dead men’s children and grandchildren, like they mattered. A man from Orillia, Ontario. A song the whole world sang. A royalty that arrived in twenty-nine mailboxes for fifty years. A quiet kindness that almost nobody knew about. That is who Gordon Lightfoot was. That is who Canada keeps growing. Same story. Same fire.

NO HISTORY? KNOW HISTORY! by RICHARD SMITH

Wartime Service

For the size of our town, the military service of its citizens is incredible. Here we see six members of the Cousins family of 15 siblings, in uniform. All but one in the RCAF. Which one is in the Army? How do you tell? They are on leave from war service to attend the funeral of their mother. They soon return to their duty and all return safely when WW2 is over. We owe them a great debt and honour them in this Canadian Legion Centennial Year! Our famous ball park is named for them and the champion 9 Brother Baseball team they formed. Lest we forget. Watch for the amazing stories of our other citizens from the Boer War to WWII.
