Near Death Experience

Along

By time the average Canadian has reached middle age, they have likely witnessed dozens if not hundreds of deaths. But mostly what they have seen is the Hollywood version, which is of course is as far removed from reality as the typical movie plot itself.

On screens large and small, death most often arrives with great violence, a hero or villain gasping out their last words through clenched teeth.

Sometimes death arrives more peacefully with the heroine professing her last wishes or undying love, bathed in flattering light.

But even gentle movie deaths bear little resemblance to the way the average Canadian exits this world, most often in a hospital or hospice, possibly heavily sedated and likely with what family they have holding vigil beside them.

Real death is an abstract concept to most of us about which we know

next to nothing and are reluctant to talk about, this despite the fact that it is absolutely unavoidable.

“There is so much misinformation about the end of life on everything from the legalities involved to how a body actually shuts down,” says Kelly Groenesteyn, a Peachland woman in the midst of the process of becoming a certified death doula through the End of Life Doula Association of Canada.

At least part of that misinformation, she says, is due to our collective reluctance to broach the subject, even in the most general way.

“No one wants to talk about death, though not talking about it doesn’t mean it isn’t going to happen,” she says. “It is the one thing in life you absolutely cannot avoid.”

The simple definition of a death doula is a non-medical professional trained to help people at the end of their lives, explains Groenesteyn.

Management plan for Kalamoir Park adopted by regional district

The Regional District of the Central Okanagan says it has secured the future and guaranteed the sustainability of Kalamoir Regional Park in West Kelowna with the adoption of a comprehensive management plan.

In a media release, the regional district said the plan will improve accessibility for users of all abilities with upgrades to parking areas and trail enhancements.

The enhancements will improve safety for users and further enhance habitat protection.

It also addresses future population growth, the impact of climate change and increased recreational demands over the

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

20-year timeline of the plan, the release says. Trail upgrades will be limited to 2.4 metres on the the Waterfront trail while the exisiting width of the Sunnyside Trail will be restricted to its current width.

“The vision is to create a

sanctuary where everyone can immerse themselves in the park’s breathtaking landscapes and trails,” regional district chairman Loyal Wooldridge said in the release.

A 20-year management plan has been adopted for Kalamoir Regional Park in West Kelowna.

Height and density increases needed according to revitalization report

Peachland councillors received a report this week from the consultant hired to advise them on the revitalization strategy for the downtown and some of them did not like what they heard; that downtown redevelopment is unlikely to succeed without changes to a number of current practices including height and density in order to attract developers.

Urban Systems outlined a strategy framework hierarchy that includes an initial vision, policy principles, and something called Big Moves. The five moves include an update to the Official Community Plan and zoning regulations establishing design expectations that maintain the identity of downtown Peachland, but that are also economically feasible.

The other big moves include actively investing in growth and development; modernizing parking policies, activating public and pedestrian spaces and investing in transportation connections both to and within downtown.

A big part of success of the revitalization, according to the report, would rest on a new set of design

New funding will pay for second phase of multi-use trail

The District of Peachland announced Tuesday the receipt of a $500,000 grant from the provincial Ministry of Transportation and Transit to be used to complete a connection the so-called Westside multi-use trail.

The Peachland portion of the trail will allow cyclists and pedestrians to connect to West Kelowna via Goat’s Peak, the district announced in a media release.

guidelines that clarify what the district will or won’t accept in development proposals, including building height and density.

Recommended zoning changes would see up to five stories allowed along Beach Avenue and up to seven stories along Waldo Way with corresponding increases in density ratios.

Also recommended are financial incentives for would be developers including reinstatement of the downtown revitalization tax incentive program, a revision of the development cost charges schedule and the establishment of a DCC reduction program.

In addition, the report recom-

mends establishing a revised density bonus program for the downtown area which would help pay for other amenities such as rental housing, new community spaces and parking facilities.

The revitalization strategy rests on principles first laid out in the 2010 Sustainable Downtown Peachland Plan, a previous attempt by the council of the day to jumpstart development. A 13-member task force created in November 2023 further advised the consultants as the strategy was developed.

Council agreed to accept the report in principle and will move forward with a public consultation process in the near future. ••

Construction of the first phase of the trail is already underway paid for by a $420,000 grant from the B.C. Active Transportation Infrastructure program awarded to the district in early 2024 and a further $356,000 from the federal Active Transportation Fund, the release said.

The Westside multi-use trail begins north of the intersection of Highway 97 and Buchanan Road in Peachland and ends near the Seclusion Bay Road underpass under Highway 97 near the boundary of Peachland and West Kelowna.

Construction of the new multiuse pathway is expected to be complete by the end of May 2025, the release said.

FEDERAL ELECTION 2025

Long-time MP Dan Albas responds to shifting issues

For a politician who has seen the ground shift under him with dizzying speed in the last two months, Dan Albas seems remarkably calm.

Perhaps that can be attributed to his 14 years experience as the Member of Parliament for the riding that has and still does include Peachland.

The riding has proven to be reliable territory for the Conservative Party of Canada for many years, returning Albas to Ottawa in every election since 2011.

Just two months ago and for several years before that, opinion polls showed the Conservatives under party leader Pierre Poilievre in majority territory with a double-digit lead over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party and what seemed a virtual lock on forming the next federal government.

But that was before the surge of Canadian patriotism in the face of economy-crippling tariff threats and perhaps even worse, verbal assaults on the sovereignty of the country by newly elected U.S. President Donald Trump. Polls now show the Conservatives branding of the Liberals time in power as a “lost decade” is falling on deaf ears or at least ears that seem much more attuned to the threats from the U.S.

“I think everyone can agree that when Justin Trudeau was Prime Minister and we were more focused on domestic issues declining per capital GDP, two million people lining up at food banks across the country, rising costs and concerns about affordability,” Albas said in a telephone inter-

view. “There was quite a different sense and people were only talking about what we were going to do about crime, public disorder and the high cost of living.”

This is no surprise, Albas added. “Obviously Trump has given us a whole new set of issues and I understand people are worried when they see these big changes happening with little to no control,” he said.

The big picture solution, he says, is to diversify away from the U.S. as our largest trading partner by focusing on infrastructure expansion within the country, building up the Canadian military, and cutting both red tape and taxes for companies and ordinary citizens.

For voters of a certain age, that would include elimination of taxes for seniors on the first $34,000 of income and reducing the tax rate above that to 12.75 per cent for those in the lowest tax bracket.

Another proposal is to raise the age of mandatory conversion for RRSP savings to RIFFs from 71 to 73 years old.

Although health care is largely a provincial function, Albas says Conservatives would create what he called a Blue Seal program, eliminating barriers to interprovincial and international certification of doctors, nurses and other health care professionals seeking employment in Canada.

“We want to have one set of rules for the whole country so that if a health professional applies, they will know within 90 days if they are going to be accepted or are given notice of what they need to do to qualify,” he added.

Albas says a Conservative government would also seek to streamline the approval process for large public infrastructure and resource projects and forgo the industrial carbon tax championed by Mark Carney and the Liberals

as a replacement for the recently-eliminated general carbon tax.

“We want to bring home production to Canada so it doesn’t make sense at this time to be bringing in an industrial carbon tax,” Albas says.

That means also project approvals one way or another in less than a year, or as Albas terms it “one and done.”

The long-time MP himself says he’s confident of his own re-election despite the recent turmoil but he also faces some issues unique to his own riding.

In a sign of possible incumbent fatigue, his popular vote numbers have dropped from around 54 per cent in his first victory to just over 47 per cent in the last federal election in 2021.

And the last federal riding redistribution has seen his riding of Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola rebranded as Okanagan Lake West-South Kelowna and redrawn to include more of the City of Kelowna and its urban voters.

His response has been to get out and talk to voters where they are. “I think its important that politicians never take anyone or anything for granted. I’ve knocked on more doors in this election with my team than I’ve ever done before,” said Albas in a telephone interview.

“Redistribution means I’m meeting people…for the very first time in some areas of Kelowna,” Albas said. “I want to to make sure they understand what I bring to the table.”

That includes his accessibility, accountability and what is perhaps a foreshadowing of the next election should the polls be wrong and the Conservatives manage a minority government, his ability to work with MPs from other parties. ••

60-SECOND RANT

What will Peachlanders say about the changes suggested for downtown?

After several months of meetings the district-appointed task force working on the Downtown Revitalization Implementation Strategy reported to the Committee of the Whole this week with its main findings.

First, the good news: we know what it is that we want to see in a revitalized downtown - pretty much the vision established by the UBC-led 2011 charette process and incorporated into the Downtown Sustainable Plan.

And the bad news?

We can’t have it, without giving up something in return.

According to the Urban Systems presentation, there is insufficient return on investment to entice a developer to implement the plan as now envisioned and changes have to be made: more height, more density, reduced setbacks, financial incentives, reduction in development cost charges, and strategic use of municipally owned property.

Even then, our approach to parking will need to be modernized meaning reduction in the number of stalls required per housing unit, time limited on-street parking and encouragement of alternative methods of transportation.

As the Rolling Stones pointed out to us in 1969,”You Can’t Always Get What You Want”.

However, they did qualify their message by encouraging us to keep trying.

So, let’s see what Peachlanders have to say about all this when, as council intends, the task force findings are put out for public consultation. ••

CHECKS & BALANCES

Spare a kind thought for our American friends

While America’s trading partners are figuring out how to protect themselves from the local and global impact of Trump’s tariff war, one thing is very clear: the resultant turmoil is being felt as much by our southern neighbours as it is anywhere else.

Many Americans are now wondering just how much pain they will have to endure before the promise of mega prosperity for all will be realized. Not surprising then that in the absence of a road map to Nirvana they fear for their jobs, their homes, their ability to buy groceries and, if they are fortunate to have any, their investments.

While this fear and uncertainty may not be so different from that being felt here at home, we have something that Americans lack: confidence that we will never have a government that abandons us to the whims of a dictator;

POLICY MATTERS

confidence that our well-being index will continue to be measured by much more than return on investment; and confidence that our heath, social and educational institutions are sacrosanct and protected from DOGE-like attack. This is not to say that we are free from the threat of far right perspectives that in full gallop might rattle our confidence that sanity will always prevail. It is however a reminder that unlike our American neighbours,

we can be sure that Canadian values will prevent decline into to a world of dog-eat-dog, Traditionally, Americans have valued the three-branch system of government their constitution prescribes: the legislative, the judicial and the executive, with the whole regulated by a system of checks and balances to preserve independence. And yet, Trump has in effect been allowed to take control of all three branches.

While we in Peachland may be figuring out ways to avoid buying American and bracing ourselves for impending chaos, maybe we should spare a thought for our American friends (some of whom are reportedly apologizing to Canadian snowbirds for their president) who will no doubt soon be regretting what they have wreaked upon themselves.

FLOWERS IN THE FOREST

Cure for doom scrolling lies in a walk through the woods

To escape the insanity of what felt to me like the second American Revolution, I fled to the woods. I shed thoughts of overpopulation on a planet with finite resources. Tariffs that threaten social justice. Bullying language.

into a screensaver. Photos, those memory-keepers, freezing a time and space. In 2021, the year of the heat dome, the moss was lush, then it dried out and turned black over winter. My screensaver kept reminding me of what was gone, and I felt sadness for my mossy friends. Over the next few years I kept an eye on their stone wall. This spring, their wall looks the same as in spring of 2021. I have photos as proof. Life does find a way. Through the black bits, green moss overgrew to lushness.

Threats to biodiversity and those martens and fishers. Tariffs and cuts to employment as consequences of actions by Doctor No. I abandoned the doomscrolling.

I entered the exuberance of nature. Fresh air and open skies. Thoughts of Mole, in Wind in the Willows, came to mind. “Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him…” He embraced the outside.

My frequent walks over 22 years in the same area have helped me to see changes over time. I’ve long been captivated with mosses, sketching and examining them with a magnifying glass, turning a particular photo

On my walk, spring was erupting all over. Ephemeral spring mountain beauties were out, and it was hard to avoid stepping on them. Fuzzy white extrusions of Arrowleaf balsam root tips were forcing skyward. Some were already photosynthesizing into green leaves and stems. The lichens, absorbing water vapour from the air, were all plumped up, standing in small cities here and there on trunks, branches, and rocks. Waxy yellow buttercups were out.

Among the first green growing things, after grasses, are some lovely fat green leaves spreadeagled to the ground. Lewis Merriweather pressed and dried a sample in 1806 and although it looked dead, it revived when given water. It was given the taxonomic Latin name Lewisa redivia, commonly called

Bitterroot. It blooms in the heat. The syilx people knew this plant well, calling them spitlƏm and they are one of the Four Food Chiefs, of great importance in Syilx Okanagan captik’ł. Those are teachings about laws, customs, values, governance structures and principles of rights and responsibilities. Chief of All-theRoots-Under-the-Ground, spitlƏm represents interconnectedness and nurturing. For millennia it has been harvested in spring and is variously eaten with salmon eggs, saskatoon berries and soopolallie.

Scrabbling up a hill, I spied a shrub covered in new greenness, leafing before the Saskatoons. It was a gooseberry bush I’d never noticed before. There is always something to learn in the woods. For an hour, I revelled in the solitude and my dog’s antics. Bolstered by this, I found strength to continue living in these chaotic times.

Avoiding

“We work with people, spiritually, emotionally and mentally who are approaching the end of their lives,” she adds. “We help them wrap their head around what is coming. ”

But that simple definition covers a whole lot of ground.

A death doula will provide help with the minutiae of death, which can include everything from helping plan a funeral or celebration of life, drafting an advanced care plan and literally sitting with a person who may have no family and holding their hand as they draw their last breath.

“We can create a space for them to die peacefully by figuring out what their needs are,” she says. “That could include lighting, scented candles, music and even who they want in the room.”

On more pragmatic level, Groenesteyn says a death doula can help a person facing the end of life complete an advanced care plan, which she describes as a program that lays out in detail for their loved ones exactly how they want their death to unfold and who will make related decisions should they no longer be able to do it themselves.

It’s a planning exercise strongly advocated by both the provincial Ministry of Health and Groenesteyn herself. “Even if you don’t use a death doula, you should complete an advanced care plan,” she adds.

The plan can be found online and includes a worksheet that can be filled out manually on a paper copy or saved online.

Contained within it is information on the legal aspects of the death process.

That includes an advance directive, a legally binding document that records your consent

or refusal on such things as artificial hydration and nutrition, defibrillation, life support and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.

It also encourages advance planners to consider a medical order scope of treatment, a document completed by a medical doctor or nurse practitioner outlining the level of care you wish to receive.

Other legal documents include representation agreements where a substitute decision maker is named by you to decide on your behalf such things as personal care, living arrangements and the

acceptance or refusal of consent to life preserving health care.

Groenesteyn points out that in the absence of such agreements in such situations, the provincial government will follow a preset list that starts with a spouse or common-law partner and goes from there through parents and siblings, other relatives, friends and ending with an appointed guardian.

This can give rise, she says, to someone making these decisions who you might not have considered or desired for that role.

Above all an advanced

care plan encourages someone facing the end of life to think about all aspects of how they want to die, Groenesteyn adds, an exit strategy so to speak.

An end-of-life doula is not a registered health profession in British Columbia and they are governed in Canada only by one of several non-profit associations and the code of ethics and training regimens they require of their practitioners.

And to be clear, Groenesteyn says, a death doula is a paid service akin to a consultant, with fees that vary from person to person.

Other than within her own family, Groenesteyn herself has not yet been through a passing or the bedside vigil required to complete her certification with the End of Life Doula Association of Canada, although she has helped develop several advanced care plans.

“I’m working on that but it’s not something you can really advertise,” she says.

But she has enough qualifications to conduct an end-of-life seminar at the at the Little School House at 7 p.m. on April 16 and another at the Peachland Wellness Centre on April 17 from 1 to 2 p.m. Both events coincide with National Advanced Care Planning Day, observed in Canada on April 16. ••

Seniors Slo-pitch turns back the hands of time

Here’s a sport that can make a senior feel young again.

The Central Okanagan Senior Slo-pitch League season starts April 22; and runs until July 24.

Peachland has two teams in the 10-team league, the Peachland Edgewater Edge and the Peachland Edgewater Classics, playing teams from West Kelowna, Summerland, Penticton, Oliver and Osoyoos.

The seven-inning home games for both Peachland teams are played Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:30 a.m. at Cousins Park, with the “eighth inning” usually occurring at the Edgewater Inn pub, the sponsor for both teams.

Come watch, it’s a fun time.

Slo-pitch is the second most popular sport in Peachland, after pickleball, with 200 playing in the

younger seven team coed Spring and Summer Peachland league and 46 Peachland seniors playing on the two Peachland COSSL teams. Minimum Seniors playing age is 55 for men, 45 for women.

The Peachland Edge Senior coed slo-pitch team is managed by Mike Honkonen and coached by Rick Shalagan and has been in existence for over 20 years.

Peachland POST

The Peachland Edgewater Classics coed slo-pitch team is managed by Jim Charles and myself and is coached by Steve Allison. It has been in existence since 2023. The Classics were co-winners of the league last season with the same number of points, after a 33-game season, as the Summerland Credit Union team.

Peachland Classics pitcher Ron “Young Gun” Beharrell, 83, is the oldest player in the league and is still going strong.

The camaraderie on teams keeps us young, and on guard for the good natured constant verbal jabs made in the Edgewater pub after each game. Classics pitcher Jim Charles received the “Stevie Wonder Pitching Award” a few seasons ago, for a forgettable inning of walks, while I was told last season I should list my glove for sale on ebay as ‚“having never been used to catch anything.”

Allie Brophy, Cheryl Allison and Debbie Stack are in charge of scorekeeping and “critical play by play analysis” (also known as slander) in the stands for the Classics, as well as awarding the coveted “Player of the Game” and season-long “Longest French Fry” awards at the Edgewater pub after each game.

Our games usually end around 11:30 a.m. which means summer tourists coming through Peachland

mid morning Tuesday and Thursday are likely to see, as they drive down Beach Avenue. two uniformed ball teams of 40 or more seniors lined up waiting outside the Edgewater for its 12-noon opening.

I don’t know if that is good for tourism, but is it great for the Edgewater, who sponsor three Peachland ball teams, and for the 46 active Peachland seniors playing summer slo-pitch.

The Peachland Edgewater Classics members are Lloyd McKeeman, Randey Brophy, Ron Beharrell, Rob Tomlinson, Scott Davis, Steve Allison, Pat Stack, Iain Rankin, Darrin Trovato, Jim Charles, Kiwa Hernandez, Scott Wall, George McFarlane, George Cain, Kim Pewar, Michele Laforge, Lynette MacKenzie, Holly McKerran, Lynne Davis, Cheryl Allison, Kim Lewis, Stacey Trovato, Shannon McDermid.

Along with the 23 senior players on the Peachland Edge, both Peachland teams , the Classics and the Edge, are 46 Peachland seniors, who for four magic months of summer, simply become like 10-year-old kids again, playing community softball.

Randey Brophy has coached youth soccer and baseball for 32 years. He formed the Peachland Youth Soccer club in 2023. He also manages and plays on a Peachland seniors slo-pitch team.
