Bikers donate to Arts Council
Peachland Community Arts Council president Deborah Livingstone was delighted to receive a $1,000 donation from the Peachland Vintage & Collectible Motorcycle organization following its recent display in Heritage Park.
“This is the second $1000 donation the Arts Council has received from the group, and we’re so grateful for their support,” said Livingstone. “We used last year’s donation for the creation of the Mt. Boucherie art students’ Four Seasons sculpture on display at Our SPACE.”
The 5th annual bike show held on August 31st attracted over 70 entries featuring all makes and models, and a record crowd.

Coin collection separated from rightful owner
The Kelowna RCMP is looking for the rightful owner(s) of a recovered coin collection that was found during a traffic stop in October, 2024.
There are several collector’s
coins from various years and various denominations, each distinct in nature.
If you believe the collection is yours, and can provide proof, please contact the Kelowna RCMP detachment non-emergency line at 250-762-3300 and reference file number 2024-61013. PoSt Staff
Rusty Palmer lived on the family farm in Trepanier, known as Palmer’s Flats. He was a graduate in Pharmacology and his sister Lillian was famous as an Olympic silver medalist. She competed in the 1932 Olympics and the 1934 British Empire Games in track and field events. She is in the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame. Possibly she is the town’s only Olympian?

Closing in on change: Ponderosa moving ahead
By Keith Fielding
At the September 9th council meeting, Planning Manager, Jared Kassel, stood ready to answer questions about the planning department’s “Major Projects” report--a summary (sometimes illustrated) giving us a glimpse into our future if the developments identified in the report are approved and built.
Content in the report may not have come as a surprise to councilors -- there were few questions for Kassel to answer. However, that may not have been true for those of
Drive, Ada Creek restoration, and the golf course site grading.
In the case of the New Monaco project which is intended to establish a master-planned mixed-use neighbourhood consisting of residential, commercial, recreational, and institutional uses, there is no progress to report.
The planning department is waiting for the developer to submit subdivision and development permit applications.
Of the other projects listed, two in particular caught our eye: one on 4th Street and another bordering Huston and Trepanier.
us less close to the action.
First the two biggies: Ponderosa and New Monaco
Council previously approved a date extension to the Ponderosa Phasing Strategy to require completion of golf course grading by November 1, 2025 with the course to be operational by November 1, 2026.
The report notes that the first development permit application is anticipated soon.
That will authorize construction of the road connection between Somerset Avenue and Ponderosa
As things stand (pre-downtown revitalization) the 4th Street area is something of a “social hub”, it being home to the historic United Church, the Bargain Bin, the Peachland Wellness Centre, the Food Bank, the Little School House, and the Anglican Church.
Enter a 6-storey mixed use building.
With the appropriate zoning already in place, proponents are now seeking “form and character” approval as a precursor to a development permit application.
Once approved and built, this one will be nestling in the midst of its neighbours, perhaps giving “mixed use” a whole new meaning.
As this week’s editorial points out, we are long overdue for a traffic light at Trepanier.
If the other development to catch our eye-- a 62-unit townhome rental complex bordering Huston and Trepanier-- is built (the ball is in the applicant’s court) without that light, the exit problem to Highway 97 will surely become ever more frustrating and dangerous.
The full report outlining the status of all major projects can be found on the District website peachland.ca as part of the September 9 council agenda package.••

A season of challenge and celebration in Peachland
What a summer it has been. After facing not just one, but two wildfires in such a short span, I know many of us are welcoming the cooler evenings and the promise of fall.
These past weeks have tested us, but they’ve also reminded me why Peachland is such a remarkable place to call home.
When the Drought Hill and Peachland Creek wildfires broke out, I watched our community respond with calm, courage, and cooperation.
Like many of you, I was evacuated—and I will never forget the kindness I experienced.
Friends opened their doors, neighbours checked in on one another, and even complete strangers offered help. That’s Peachland at its best.
On behalf of Council, I want to express my deepest gratitude to Peachland Fire Rescue, the BC Wildfire Service, and all the fire departments from across the Central Okanagan who came to our aid. Their speed, bravery, and sheer dedication kept us safe, and we owe them so much.
And yet, even after all that, Peachland still found a way
MAYOR’S MESSAGE
to come together in joy. Just days later, on September 5, we reopened Turner Park—and what a celebration it was!
More than 100 kids, parents, and neighbours filled the park with laughter, music, and community spirit.
A heartfelt thank-you goes to everyone who made the day so special: the Peachland Lions Club for grilling up a fantastic BBQ, the Peachland BGCO for keeping the kids smiling with fun activities, our incredible mural artists— Wayne Powers, Alex Morrison, Madeleine Nixon, Shelley Sweeney, and the BGCO kids—for bringing colour and creativity to our community space, Grant Eisworth and Vince Boyko for filling the air with music, the Penticton
Peachland Places of Faith
Pinnacles FC and Peachland Youth Soccer players for some unforgettable games, and, of course, Randey Brophy for his unstoppable advocacy for youth sports.
This summer reminded me of two things: we are strong when we face challenges, and we are joyful when we celebrate together. I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else than right here, with all of you.
Thank you for making this summer one to remember.
With gratitude, Mayor Patrick Van Minsel I am always available to meet in person.

THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER
It was 8:45 on a Peachland morning, and something about the air was quite different today. The warm sunshine that I felt on my back for several weeks was gone, replaced by a cool breeze and a ceiling of grey clouds. It felt different, a good different.
The walk to the waterfront was easier without the heat pressing up from the ground.
The lake was much cooler today too, more like spring than summer. A few ripples on the surface, but otherwise it was calm. I plunged into the lake, letting the cool water wake me fully. I stayed in just long enough to feel refreshed before heading onward.
Can you guess who I am? No? Let’s keep going.

HOW TO REACH THE POST: editor@peachlandpost.org | sales@peachlandpost.org
On my walk toward downtown, I spotted a gang of squatters in the park by the cenotaph. They were busy trimming the grass down to stubs, but I’ve developed a knack for persuading them to take their gathering elsewhere. Today was no different. Once I moved toward them, they shuffled away quickly, squawking amongst themselves before retreating to the water’s edge. From a safe distance, they watched me, heads high, eyes sharp. I like to think they respect my authority. They
stared at me from the water like I’d ruined their brunch. I might have. Any guesses yet?
By the time I reached Heritage Park, the morning had become livelier with parents chatting and children laughing. While some folks lingered by the swings, most were headed for the spray park. I followed along because, well, who can resist those jets of water shooting into the sky? I even have a favourite nozzle, perfect for leaning down and sneaking a quick drink when no one’s looking. Does that narrow it down?
On my way back home, I ran into some old friends. We chatted (in our own way), and one of them slipped me a cookie. That alone could make a girl’s day perfect. It’s been a great day so far. But my favourite kind of days are the ones that hold room for more than one adventure.
So... last chance, who am I?
I’ll give you a hint: I have four legs, a tail that won’t quit, and job titles that include Official Goose Chaser, Lake Swimmer, and Chief Cookie Inspector. Yep... I’m the dog, well actually I am known as “Lola the Wonderdog” by my dad.

GREENING
Stop but not much go for Trepanier area residents
If you have tried to turn left exiting from Trepanier onto Hwy 97 you will understand why patience is not only a virtue but also a requirement if you are to avoid risking life and limb (yours and others) by indulging any reckless impulses urging you on.
And the longer you wait the more those urges grow!
Traffic volumes are such that for some drivers the preferred option is to turn right, make a U-turn at Clements Crescent and wait there for a green light.
But turning right is not a cakewalk. Just as you think there is a gap to nip into, a driver braving the left turn battle pulls up alongside totally blocking your view to the left.
Of course that also works in reverse when a right turn
POLICY MATTERS
Keith Fielding
driver (u-turn bound or otherwise) blocks the view of those still waiting to turn left.
We have been promised a traffic light at that location for some years now but its priority
got bumped last year to accommodate the need for intersection change at Renfrew Road. It may also have got caugh up in MOTI’s Highway 97 improvement plans in the Trepanier - Buchanan section.
Luckily, with tourist traffic now on the wane, volumes are back to their normal state of horribly heavy. However, in the quest for a traffic light this is not the time to take our foot off the gas. As we were reminded at Tuesday’s council meeting, council has approved a development application to build 62-units of rental accommodation on lands bordering Huston and Trepanier. Although we don’t know when, or even if, this project
will be completed, it is one of several other Trepanier area developments destined to make those left and right turns at the highway even more frustrating. Perhaps the need to move ahead with a traffic light at Trepanier will be one of the discussion topics when mayor and councillors meet with ministers at the UBCM conference in Victoria later this month, I don’t know. However, MOTI need to be reminded that it’s time to deliver on their promise.

THERAPEUTIC YOGA
If you haven’t practiced yoga yet, give it a try
Yoga has sure made a comeback. It was an integral part of life in India and spread to other cultures. The humble beginnings were documented in 2000 BCE. Today, yoga has taken on many shapes, forms and styles, and is securely rooted in its foundational traditions.
Yoga isn’t a religion. It’s a physical, mental, and spiritual discipline of lifestyle. Modern yoga practitioners are creating new forms of the traditional practice and the medical community is increasingly prescribing yoga.
The Yoga Research & Education Centre in California is currently creating a data base of medical & scientific studies on yoga that will be available to clarify and identify research with proof that yoga has significant potential to
benefit our health and wellbeing. Here in Peachland, we have a talented, compassionate and varied collective of yoga teachers at the Peachland Community Centre. Each teacher has a distinct professional educational history and experience as well as a generous supply of yoga options
WELLNESS
for everyone and everyBODY. Tessa leads morning Flow
classes that have strong sequences that challenge and expand your practice. Janet offers daytime Back Care classes and teaches Vinyasa flow in the evening. Deb shares Yoga and Beyond evening classes that have elements of yin & kundalini. I have Therapeutic Yoga Flow and myofascia (muscles and connective tissue) release classes, Yoga for Women’s Health and Youth Yoga. I also teach a Chair Yoga at the Peachland Wellness Centre. What is the difference between yoga and yoga therapy? All yoga is therapeutic. Yoga teachers are instructional or educational, and focus on teaching the various yoga methods in a correct and appropriate way. Yoga Therapy schooling is in-depth training specific to topics such as trauma & grief, orthopaedics (knees, hips, shoulder, wrists), balance and fall prevention, fascia, pelvic floor, neurological diseases, mental health, and also incorporates modern medicine and research to identify which yoga approach to apply for the benefit of the client. Therapists work one to one in order to address personal health concerns so as not to exacerbate
the condition and to better support the needs of the individual.
Georg Feuerstein, PH.D, on the International Association of Yoga Therapists website, said, “Yoga therapy… aims at the holistic treatment of various kinds of psychological or somatic (body) dysfunctions ranging from back problems to emotional stress… (with) an understanding of the human being as a integrated bodymind system, which can function optimally only when there is a state of dynamic balance.”
If you haven’t tried a yoga class, I warmly invite you to reach out to the Peachland Community Centre and try a class with one of these skilled women who offer classes to the community. There’s something for everyone! To learn more and register for any of our comprehensive classes, contact Peachland Community Centre or register with the online recreation guide.

Something for everyone at market
MARKET FROM PAGE 1
Arpin are the managers. You’ll likely see Linda on Sundays. She has seen various vendors come and go, made some great friends and has had to say goodbye to many. She deserves a significant amount of gratitude for organizing the market over the years while also working at her full time job. She knows her way around the park and manages to keep everyone in line with the unloading and loading area that is unique to the Peachland waterfront. I’ve experienced the lazy summer vibe that connects people.
They’re always willing to lend out a part for your broken tent, help you load up your vehicle or give you a hug. We have each other’s back and this makes it a true joy to be together and support one another every Sunday.
We’re also quite a multicultural market with Aussie pies, Mexican chips and sauces, Welsh cakes, Asian baked delights, French pastries, Italian sausages and meats, Ukrainian perogies. You will also find teas, garlic spices, honey, fresh sprouts, carnival foods and kettle corn, dehydrated fruits, delicious sauces, mushrooms and tinctures as well as preserves…
and did I say fresh produce? We sure have a lot of that! If a new stylish garment, hat, blanket or piece of jewelry is on your wish list, you will find it here as well as hand designed attire, crystals, and stamped and beaded jewelry. You won’t want to leave without some bling! And, we can’t forget the self care & cleaning items like body-care, soaps, essential oils, candles and fidget gadgets for the kiddos, household cleaners and gorgeous henna tattoos.
So, before the market wraps up on Sunday, September 28th, get there and stock up--there ain’t no tariffs here! It’s all grown or created locally with love. Thank you for your support, we’ll miss you until next May. That’s when we reopen, after the long weekend and car show here in Peachland.••
Trouble in the Headwaters: film reveals public risk
By JuDy wyper
This summer, The Interior Watershed Task Force (IWTF) showed the 25-minute documentary, Trouble in the Headwaters, in many communities across the province.
Peachland’s Watershed Protection Alliance is part of IWTF, a coalition of community groups and individuals from all corners of B.C.’s interior.
“We apply science and personal experience to inform and advocate for the protection of watersheds and primary forests, and for the recovery of degraded forests. Our advocacy respects and recognizes the rights of BC’s First Nations to their ancestral territories.”
The Press Release of the Kelowna showing of the film reported that it was attended by “local hydrologists, foresters, members of the Black Mountain Irrigation District and Okanagan Basin Water Board, the mayor of Vernon, councillors of Peachland, Council of Canadians, UBCO students, Okanagan community groups and the general public.”
In the film, UBC professor Dr. Younes Alila speaks candidly about the causes of the destructive and life-altering 2018 floods in Grand Forks.
400 homes were damaged in the floods which caused millions of dollars of losses from which the community is still reeling.
Dr. Alia has written countless research peer reviewed articles for prominent publications. He applies his professional engineering knowledge to the hydrology of forestry and watershed stability.
“When it comes to hydrology, and the effects of clearcut logging on hydrology, what we are seeing now is the worst situation that you could possibly have. We have already lost most of our forest cover: the most powerful natural protection against flood risk and drought risk in this province.
“The loss of forest cover has triggered a cycle of flooding, landslides and drought — transforming the landscape and endangering communities downstream.”
After the film, former Green Party leader Sonia Furstenau led
a panel discussion that included Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, President of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs; Mike Morris, former BC Solicitor General and Minister of Public Safety; David Gill, Registered Professional Forester for the Westbank First Nation; syilx elders Grouse and Pamela Barnes; filmmaker Daniel J. Pierce; and Dr. Younes Alila, professor of Hydrology, UBC.
Grand Chief Stewart Phillip spoke about the need to place water protection at the top of the list of actions to restore the environment.
Mike Morris was an RCMP crimes investigation officer for 45 years. He told the group that he used his investigative abilities to look into connections between floods and forest practices. He concluded that the current B.C. model of forestry is “creating natural disasters!”
Sonia Furstenau made the point that the government’s support of the logging industry is fruitless.
Forestry provides few jobs
and generates a small percentage of BC’s Gross Domestic Product.
“Yet, the government (and taxpayers) continues to pay billions in forest industry subsidies, repairs to flood-damaged infrastructure, and other externalities.”
Trouble in the Headwaters can be found on YouTube. It clearly shows that current logging practices in watershed headwaters is putting the public at risk.
Dr. Alila recently toured our Peachland watershed and plans to return to observe the spring freshet.

SMALL TOWN LIFE
There’s nowhere we would rather live
Acity friend asked, “What’s it like living in a small town?”
“Vastly different from the city,” I laughed. “And exactly what I hoped for.” I went on to share a few of the many things about Peachland that absolutely delight me.
HOMETOWN HEART
TERESA HARRIS TRIGGIANO
1. It takes 45 minutes to take your dog out because you are bound to run into someone
you know and stand happily chatting for half an hour.
2. When there is a backup of cars on Drought Hill, someone on the Peachland Facebook page will explain why, within minutes. In fact, on the same Facebook page, you can also discover: what shenanigans a local dog has been up to, the dog’s name and who owns it, if an unrecognizable person has dared wander past a house, or even the exact cause of an usually loud noise seconds ago down the road. Peachlanders see and know everything.
3. If a piece of jewelry or a forgotten handbag is found on the beach, it is posted so the owner may retrieve it rather than end up hawked at a pawn shop.
4. When you walk in the evening, you may look out
CLEMENTS CRESCENT
for bears and coyotes but gratefully not assailants.
5. A traffic jam in town is caused by two cars travelling in opposite directions, stopping so the drivers may hang out the window and shoot the breeze, or a flock of geese has decided to take their sweet time crossing the road.
6. There is no such thing as popping into a store unnoticed on a bad hair day.
7. Neighbours truly care and are quick to lend a hand.
I then shared that years ago, while driving across Canada looking for a home, I wrote a list clarifying exactly what we wanted in a hometown.
ROAD NAME of the week
The road is named for the Clements family, residents of Peachland since 1908.
The original members of the Clements family were James and Mary. James was from Ontario and Mary from Newfoundland. Mary had an interesting background. She was originally Mary Bartlett and was related to Captain Robert Bartlett who led over 20 expeditions to the Arctic, mapped the waters, and accompanied Robert Peary on the expedition to the North Pole.
James and Mary met in Montreal and were married in 1902. They heard about Peachland by word of mouth and, by the time they arrived on the sternwheeler Kaleden they had a family of four little girls. Later, two sons were born to complete the family.
In Peachland, James opened the second General Store, the building with the sloping roof, currently a sushi restaurant and Mary became well-known for the bread she baked. The business flourished, expanded to include an ice cream parlour and a service station, and continued until James’ death in 1932, aged 64, at which point the running of the store and station were taken over by his son, Ted, who ran them until World War II.
Clements family members still live in Peachland making up four generations to have done so. Regrettably, the Ministry of Highways overhead sign incorrectly spells the name of the road named after them as Clement Cr. Numerous representations to the Ministry have been made to have the sign corrected but to date no action has been taken.

Being a practical gal, I itemized the necessities first: a hospital within 30 minutes, a hub for resources within an hour, the ability to make a living and a sense of safety. I wrote below my wish-list: beautiful views, a nearby body of water such as a lake or river, friendly neighbours, less than 25,000 residents and somewhere… charming.
Beside “somewhere… charming” I scrawled, “a Hallmark movie town”.
“We knew,” I added to my friend, “Peachland was home, the first time we walked the downtown pier. It was evening and I distinctly remember thinking

- this is where I want to live.”
Two years after moving to Peachland, I walked down Beach Avenue, where a production crew laid out artificial snow and adorned Cibo and Vines with elaborate Christmas decorations. I wandered over to ask what movie they were filming. “Another Hallmark movie,” he replied. I wore a mile wide grin all the way home. Because, last but not least: 8. Peachland is now home, and there is no where else we would rather live.

Done deals
By Keith FielDing Staff ColumniSt
For two days last week Peachland Post had a temporary neighbour.
Occupying space in the Chamber of Commerce boardroom was Ursa Major Gold, Silver, and Coin where Barry Dick, owner and president, was kept busy evaluating and purchasing gold, silver, coins, jewellery and paper money brought in by local area residents.
“We’ve been coming to Peachland for a long time,” said Dick, “and we like to do it at least once a year, but this is the first time we’ve used this particular location.”
And judging from the flow of visitors it was a popular choice. In the time I sat down to chat with him my unofficial “customer first” policy had me observing Barry in action for much of the time rather than talking.
Spread in front of him on a
long trestle table were the tools of his trade: a spy glass with light beam, an ultra sensitive weighing machine, a magnet, acid tubes, catalogues and reference manuals and forms for recording value estimates and purchase receipts.
The acid and the magnet?
The former is to conduct an “acid test”, a means to verify the purity of gold and the magnet to see whether the gold contains metals like iron or nickel.
I was curious about the proportion of customers “just wanting to know” and those wanting to sell.
“I would say 95% of customers come wanting to sell,” said Dick. “That’s good for us because buying and selling is the basis of our business. We usually charge a fee for evaluations but not during these site visits.”
I watched as Barry evaluated a collection of old quarters, carefully examining each one and occasionally referring to a man-
ual. This one was of very modest value and did not include a treasured 3-legged Beaver. “Those are incredibly rare,” he told me.
“It’s been years since I saw one.”
Are people ever remorseful about selling the family jewels, I wanted to know.
“Yes, that is often the case,” he told me, and recounted a story
involving how his grief coping recommendations saved the day for a guilt ridden son. The solution: an annual round of memorial golf with close family followed by copious helpings of Scotch! If you missed the event and want to deal with Barry you can reach him by email: barry@ursagold.ca
