Heritage Park splash park receives tentative budget approval

COUNCILLOR PETE COOLIO said he originally envisioned a splash park with Ogopogo with fire cannons coming out of his head and was pleased to see it would actually look more like this park located in San Diego County. Director of community services Cheryl Wiebe said Peachland’s splash park will be smaller in scale and scope than the park shown but will be similar in look and feel.

JOANNE LAYH There’s tentatively something in the budget this year for young families in the community: Peachland council earmarked $270,000 in this year’s budget for a splash park in Heritage Park. While the budget will not receive final approval until next month, in a 6-1 vote at last week’s committee meeting members of council supported the inclusion of the splash park in the budget, with only Councillor Terry Condon opposed.

Coun. Condon said he could support a splash park but isn’t convinced Heritage Park is the right location.

Director of community services Cheryl Wiebe said in recent years public consultation has revealed that community support for a splash park has typically been 70 per cent in favour.

“I think one of the reasons for that is our vision for it,” Wiebe said at last Tuesday’s committee of the whole meeting. “The plan includes what we call ground sprays and the reason we chose ground sprays is that one of the things that we heard both through the Parks and Recreation Master Plan and also the Parks Plan is people didn’t want a garish water park. They wanted something that interfaced well with the community.”

Wiebe said the community told the municipality that they wanted something a little more artistic, something that interfaced with the culture of Heritage Park and the downtown core and something that was intergenerational and created play but also didn’t take away from the beauty and function of Heritage Park.

As part of the 2020 budget process, Peachland’s community services department came to council seeking $210,000 for the spray park as well as an additional $60,000 for a washroom facility for a total of $270,000 for the project. While the total cost of the project is $320,000, the municipality plans to cut some costs by completing the site preparation and restoration work in house. The funding for the project would come from the community works fund, not taxation.

“I love the idea,” Councillor Pam Cunningham said. “I think it will really add to our town. In the last six years we’ve been hearing from residents with families that they want a splash park here and it’s exciting that we’re finally going to go forward with it....we say work, play and live here. Well, that play component, we haven’t done a lot on that.”

Councillor Patrick Van Minsel originally said he was not in favour of the project and would like to see it taken out of the budget, but later came around to the idea after hearing from his council colleagues.

“All the money we invest is almost every single time on Beach Avenue. We need to start investing money on our hill,” Van Minsel said. “We need to put some bus shelters for children, for people in winter that are now standing in a dark spot waiting on a bus that may or may not come. We need more sidewalks and I know we’re always saying it’s too expensive to do this but Rome wasn’t built in one day.”

Councillor Mike Kent restated his strong support for the project during the budget discussions and argued that sidewalk and road infrastructure should be timed together to maximize value.

“There has been a significant level of community consultation done regarding this CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

Ambassadors to host dog parade Splash park gets green light CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2

JOANNE LAYH Plenty of tails will be wagging along Beach Avenue this Saturday morning when the Peachland Ambassadors’ third annual St. Patrick’s Dog Parade makes its way through the downtown area.

Event organizer Leanne Sarsons was inspired to create the event when she was out for a walk several years ago.

“There are so many dogs walking along Beach Avenue. People love their pets,” Sarsons told the View.

Participation in the parade is open to the public and anyone interested in joining is welcome to don some green, bring their canine pals and meet up at the community centre between 9:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. on Saturday morning.

From the community centre, the parade will head down Beach Avenue to Heritage Park, where there will be doggie bags and some water dishes for the canine participants to enjoy before they turn around and head back toward the community centre.

Back at the community centre parking lot there will be live entertainment featuring Kerry Martinson as well as tents and tables offering face painting, vendors displaying dog services, and several food options available.

“People contribute by donation. We’ll have muffins, cookies, hot dogs and popcorn and kids will have donation cans out,” Sarsons said. “We ask people to donate if they want. It’s sort of a fundraiser, but it’s more of a public awareness of what the ambassadors do.”

The Peachland Ambassadors program is open to both boys and girls from ages 14 to 17 and offers youth leadership and life skills training.

The program can be valuable to youth interested in learning a variety of life skills in areas as varied as mechanics, banking or how to create a resume and prepare for a job interview.

The program offers youth an opportunity to develop their public speaking skills and increase their self esteem. With those skills, they then go out to other communities to attend ambassador pageants, where they speak publicly about the community of Peachland and serve as young ambassadors.

While youth can get involved in the ambassador program any time throughout the year, the deadline to become a sponsored ambassador is in April, when participating youth are matched with community sponsors and are introduced to the community at a debut public event. More information will be available at this weekend’s event.

The St. Patrick’s Dog Parade begins takes place on Saturday, March 14 from 10 a.m. until noon.

project,” Coun. Kent said.

“I’ve heard my colleagues talk about other projects that need to occur, such as sidewalks. Sidewalks absolutely are an essential thing that we need to continue to work on. However, what is important to understand with sidewalk infrastructure is we need to have our timing be correct and capitalize on opportunities. [Chief administrative officer] Joe [Mitchell] spoke about one example on Princeton where we have to pick and choose our timing to be able to capitalize on building sidewalks. It’s a significant amount of money to do that and we wait until there is that window of opportunity when a project is moving forward to be able to extend sidewalks. Timing is essential to be able to maximize value on that...in order to get the best bang for our buck we need to be opportunistic.”

As part of her presentation to council, Wiebe showed an image of a splash park in San Diego County that represented the look and feel of what they will be creating in Peachland.

Councillor Pete Coolio said he originally envisioned a splash park with Ogopogo with fire cannons coming out of his head and was pleased to see it would actually look more like the park shown.

“I have a lot more enthusiasm for it this way,” he said.

Mayor Cindy Fortin said she sees the project as a really important investment for young families.

“I have listened to my colleagues. I always come in with an open mind,” Councillor Van Minsel said. “For me this is a very difficult decision. I’m torn between two things,” he said before voting in favour of the park.

If approved in the final budget, construction on the splash park would begin in spring 2021.

The time we stockpiled toilet paper LYONEL DOHERTY Bring back the days when you could press one button on one remote to turn on the TV. Now there’s two or three remotes (if you can find them) synced to a cable box, which is hooked up to a modem, which is hooked up to another box with blinking lights on it. Push the button on the remote and nothing happens. Oh, you forgot you had the wrong HDMI cable plugged in.

It’s not hard to feel stupid in this day and age as an old schooler. Reminds me about the time a U.S. tourist asked a Butchart Gardens gift shop employee if the calendars they sold worked in America.

Or the time (this past Christmas) that I was asked to find a plug-in for the star on top of the tree. Well, I looked and looked and couldn’t find a two-prong outlet in the metal pole of the tree. Don’t tell anyone that story or I will be the laughingstock of the town.

I must admit that I tend to do the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. Isn’t that the definition of insanity? I’ll jam a cupboard full of knickknacks and curse every time they fall out when I open the door.

Am I the only person who thinks that a live human being should answer the phone on the third ring when calling to order a replacement part for an appliance? That’s the way it used to be; there was nothing automated about it.

Today you have to wait up to an hour to speak to a live person (after going nuts listening to the same music over and over again). “All lines are busy. Please continue to hold.”

If you hold any longer, you’ll need to update your last will and testament. Yep. The world is going down hill fast. Now you can’t even touch your own face for fear of getting a virus.

With the COVID-19 scare, health officials are telling us not to touch our face. That’s like telling you not to grab the last pineapple on a deserted island.

Imagine telling school children not to pick their noses or rub their eyes. That’s like telling them not to laugh when a classmate cuts the cheese.

Some people are paranoid about the virus and have been buying up all of the toilet paper at Costco. Now what am I supposed to use? At least we know where their priorities are.

Others are stockpiling food like there’s no tomorrow and are likely building virus shelters as we speak. Trump probably has one already stocked with the best toilet paper money can buy.

What is the world coming to? Makes you want to fight for the last roll and live off the grid until the next millennium. Wait, that’s one thousand years. Oh well, forget about it then.

OPINION

Former primary school worker says the bats were never a problem Re: “Increased concern about bats in Historic Primary School [Peachland View, Feb. 14 issue].

The bats are an endangered species and they saved the primary school from being torn down. These bats are not a danger to anyone. Stop the hysteria around the lack of bat knowledge.

The white nose disease has not been detected in the bat colony so leave them be. If and when it ever becomes a problem let the biologists suggest the appropriate ways to mitigate the problem. I worked in the school for 13 years and on occasion came into close contact with some bats that had flown into an open window at night. We never had a problem.

Willie Findlater, West Kelowna

Is Canada doing enough to fight the virus?

DAN ALBAS

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT It has been seven days since my report last week on the subject of the COVID-19 virus.

Since that time the World Health Organization (WHO) has upgraded the spread of the outbreak, from declaring a public health emergency last week, to now declaring the virus to be a pandemic.

What does a pandemic virus mean?

A new virus is often described in following three different ways.

‘Outbreak’ which is summarized as an unusual but small virus.

‘Epidemic’ where the virus is growing larger and is spreading.

The term ‘Pandemic’ applies where the virus has worldwide impacts and is considered out of control.

In terms of numbers, last week there were 33 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Canada

with 20 in Ontario, 12 in British Columbia and one in Quebec.

As of today there are now confirmed 93 cases with 36 in Ontario, 39 in British Columbia, four in Quebec and 14 in Alberta.

There has also been the first COVID-19 related death confirmed in a North Vancouver care home.

Some more positive news, of the 36 confirmed cases in Ontario, five have now recovered.

From a global perspective, last week’s numbers showed that the virus had infected close to 90,000 people in 60 countries and killed more than 3,000 people.

As of this week, there have now been nearly 120,000 people in 115 countries infected and more than 4,000 people have died as a result of the virus.

Fortunately it has also been stated that more than 60,000 people have recovered.

What has been the

response of the federal government?

The prime minister recently announced $1 billion in funding related to the COVID-19 virus.

The majority of the funding will be distributed as follows: $500 million to provinces and territories, $275 million in research, $100 million in additional public health response, including funding for Indigenous Services Canada and $50 million in international aide.

The remaining funds will be spent in areas such as communications and public education, personal protective equipment, repatriation of Canadians, work sharing and changes to the EI sickness benefits program, intended to waive the usual one week waiting period to obtain EI sickness benefits.

There is also a government general information line at 1-833-784-4397 for Canadians who have any immediate questions about COVID-19.

For clarification purposes, there are some measures that other countries are undertaking to further contain the virus that are not being taken in Canada.

Measures such as, vigorous screening processes upon entry, mandatory quarantine for those who do enter from high risk countries or potentially stopping incoming and outgoing flights from high risk areas.

I mention that as there has been some confusion as to what screening efforts exist, or in this case do not exist, here in Canada relative to other

countries.

My question this week: Do you think the federal government is doing enough to help prevent the spread of COVID–19 in Canada?

FOR SENIORS

Why routine checkups are vital to overall health Regular visits with a medical professional are an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Too often people visit the doctor only when they are ill, as they may not realize just how essential well visits and physical exams are.

Routine checkups are the smartest way for people in all age groups to stay on top of their health, but they can be especially valuable for those age 50 and older. Regular checkups enable physicians to check current health against past visits, ensuring that any anomalies can be investigated and treated efficiently and promptly. This can make the difference in slowing down the progression of a disease that has already developed or prevent something from becoming a full-fledged issue.

The Mayo Clinic says there are no hard and fast rules about how often seniors should visit health care providers. Those who are in generally good health may only require one medical checkup a year. At this point vital signs will be checked, medications reviewed and lifestyle topics discussed.

Doctors may even recommend or discuss tests. Patients also can bring up any issues they may be experiencing, however insignificant they may seem.

Anything from sleep disturbances to memory loss to unexplained fatigue or pain can be addressed. Sometimes getting everything out in the open and being reassured that there’s nothing to worry about can be helpful.

General care and geriatric doctors also are adept at asking questions to get a sense of how patients are faring in the world. This may include topics that seemingly have no relevance to health but can be quite important. A

provider may ask about topics such as bathing or dressing. Questions about social interaction or typical routines can paint a better picture of both physical and mental health.

The recommended frequency of doctor visits may change as health issues arise or if follow-up is needed after a treatment plan or injury, according to the caregiver company Home Care Assistance. Some seniors may have to visit a provider once a week or once a month. Doctors, nurses and therapists will design a regimen based on a patient’s current health needs.

The following are some compelling reasons to be diligent with provider visits.

• Frequently health issues can be silent and not noticed early on by a patient, according to Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore.

• Patients will be less likely to forget about important screenings, like mammography, prostate tests, cholesterol tests, and more.

• Vaccines can be administered, as even adults need certain immunizations to stay healthy.

• Patients can discuss potential lifestyle changes, like going on a diet or taking up a new fitness regimen.

It is essential to follow through with health care provider visits, even if they seem redundant. Physicians may detect issues that warrant close observation. Patients are urged to have an open dialogue with their doctors so they understand the reason behind health care visits and expectations in the future.

This big handsome guy is Oscar who is looking for a home that can shower him with love and attention! Experience with large breed dogs will be an asset. While he is good with other calm dogs in public, Oscar would prefer not to share his living space with any other pets competing for his treats. Oscar’s guardian will need to be able to handle his size and strength. Oscar enjoys his creature comforts, and would make an excellent snuggle buddy, though he might take up the whole couch!

Hosam “Sam” Ibrahim, age 82, died suddenly and peacefully early morning March 3, 2020 at home with his family by his side. Sam is survived by his wife of 56 years, Ursula Ibrahim (née Mowe); son Farid (Selena); daughter Sandy (Laurence); and three grandsons Jasper, Lucas, and Jordan.

Sam’s extraordinary life began on September 16, 1937 in Cairo, Egypt. He was the eldest of four siblings, two of whom predeceased him.

At age nineteen, he left Cairo for Wurzburg, Germany to study pharmacy. Following his education, he met his wife and they had two children before immigrating to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. While in Edmonton, Sam became a celebrated pharmacist, known for his outstanding customer service and expertise in herbal medicine. He opened several successful pharmacies and customers would drive hours to receive their prescription from him while being invited to share a cup of tea in his office.

Sam was a pioneer in the Canadian natural health products industry. He was one of the first to integrate alternative medicines into a traditional pharmacy and he and his son launched several supplement brands that gained national and international recognition. In retirement, he enjoyed travel, his family, and time with many lifelong friends. He was a longtime and valued member of both the Kiwanis and Rotary Clubs.

He will be terribly missed.

A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, March 15, 2020 at 1:00 pm at the 50 Plus Activity Centre, 5672 Beach Ave, Peachland, BC. Interment to follow at the Peachland Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Peachland’s Rotary Club, peachlandrotary. com. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com.

Elements exhibition opens Saturday at the Peachland Art Gallery

LAKE VIEW BY Danield Dearborn.

JANET HORNSETH

PEACHLAND ART GALLERY Daniel and Nancy Dearborn are the creators of Elements, opening at The Peachland Art Gallery this Saturday, March 14. Elements is a show designed in response to the artists’ interaction with Earth, Air, Fire and Water. When arriving at the exhibition, viewers will be greeted by rich colours and textures that echo the beauty of the natural world. Brightly coloured canvases that portray familiar Okanagan vistas, and trees, ocean waves, and birds fashioned from vivid hues of glass are used to communicate the wonder of the world that is all around us.

With the ever-increas-

ing awareness of the effect that civilization has on our planet, it is important to pause and focus on the beauty that is available to all who interact with nature itself.

“When we experience what creation has to offer, we’re more likely to protect this incredible gift, ensuring that those who come after us will in turn discover the joy and wonders of the earth.” explains Nancy. Although the Dearborns’ work has been showcased alongside one another before, this is the first time they have joined forces to create a duo show.

Growing up in BC’s spectacular Fraser Valley, their experiences with the natural world left an indelible mark deep within that calls

out for a response. What started as childhood curiosity and appreciation, soon became a life-long quest to be surrounded

at high school, this duo experienced similar influences. Life was spent surrounded by breathtaking mountains, lakes and landscapes that fueled their creativity. The Dearborns are often mistaken as husband and wife. Although their paths must have crossed many times, they don’t recall meeting one another until Nancy married Daniel’s brother, making them siblings. Both artists and their families relocated to the Okanagan, where they continue their journeys of exploring remarkable landscape and wildlife.

Daniel started painting at a very young age and is primarily selftaught. “I would describe myself as an inspired painter. I meditate and dream, and paint what I feel,” says Daniel. He paints scenes which res-

onate with people on an emotional level, drawing on memories of areas he has explored, connecting spiritually with all the senses. This allows him to convey a feeling or mood to the canvas.

His style may vary with each painting, but each piece is a beautiful symphony of colour, texture and emotion. Be it calming and peaceful, or vibrant and lively, Daniel’s passion and talent is showcased on every work of art he creates.

Nancy’s artistic journey also began early in her life, starting with interests in painting and photography. Her love of colour and texture opened her to the world of glass and it was through this medium that she found freedom as an artist. Nancy has become known for the highly textured surfaces that are achieved by a

unique process.

“Because I’m self taught, I take risks and explore avenues of design that don’t always fit into conventional glassmaking,” explains Nancy. “I hand hammer my glass to create a light-catching surface on my work. I build the fragments up in layers, and the glass part is finished, it’s combined with objects found while beachcombing, hiking, or treasure hunting.

The combination of materials and process of piecing them together becomes my voice; the final product is the message.”

The Dearborns are both inspired by their interactions with the elements of our shared planet.

Nancy and Daniel each choose a colourful palette to echo the imprint of those experiences, prompting the viewer to contemplate the beauty of our world. The Dearborns invite you to meet them personally and see the world through their eyes as they open their show Elements at noon on Saturday, March 14 at The Peachland Art Gallery.

Nancy and Daniel will be in attendance from noon - 3 p.m. and will be presenting an art talk at 1 p.m.

Elements runs from March 14 - April 26, Tuesday – Sunday from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. For more information, contact The Peachland Art Gallery on Beach Avenue at 250-767-7422.
