String of single-vehicle accidents on Connector caused by icy conditions JOANNE LAYH Snow and icy road conditions led to five sin-

ADCANADA MEDIA INC D004846991 PV01

gle-vehicle accidents at the top of the Connector Sunday night.

Merritt RCMP Staff Sgt. Lorne Wood said all five accidents happened in the Elkhart/Sunset Main area near the top of the pass. Although one young woman rolled her vehicle at least once, no one suffered any injuries.

“Basically what’s happened is, and it’s not terribly uncommon, is we get weather at this time of year where it is rain-

ing down in Kelowna or Peachland and as soon as you go over that Connector suddenly you’re up another 1,000 or 1,500 vertical feet and the temperature drops four or five degrees and you have ice on the highway. People go from wet roads or even dry roads to suddenly having black ice and they’re not prepared for it, especially if they’re driving a little too fast and they hit a patch and go off the road,” Wood said.

CIVIC GRANTS APPLICATIONS Local non-profit organizations which contribute to the quality of life in Peachland, and which would cease to function without assistance from the District of Peachland, are invited to apply for a Civic Grant.

The Civic Grants Policy outlines the following:

whose vehicle was the first to go into the ditch at around 7 p.m.

“He was determined to be impaired so he’s looking at an immediate roadside prohibition for 90 days. As well, he had an unendorsed warrant for his arrest out of the Lower Mainland,” Wood said.

The driver will remain in custody until he appears before a judge in Kamloops.

The other occupant of the vehicle, the man’s Pit-

bull Lab cross dog, spent the night in an interview room at the Merritt RCMP detachment.

“We weren’t able to find somebody to take care of the dog so one of our staff has actually taken the dog home and is fostering it until he [the owner] gets his stuff sorted out here,” Wood said.

Motorists travelling on the highway are advised to have their winter tires on and slow down when road conditions are icy.

Council approve permissive tax exemptions

“All of them were the same thing – people coming on top of the pass then hitting some black ice and going off-road into the meridian or off-road into the ditch and getting stuck.”

Merritt RCMP members assisted several motorists by helping them get back into town and calling tow trucks.

However, the evening didn’t turn out so well for the male driver of a 2003 white Chevy minivan,

grants permissive tax exemptions to certain organizations such as churches and municipal tenants who meet criteria set out in the Community Charter and the district’s own guidelines.

At its regular council meeting on October 22, council gave final reconsideration and adoption of the 2020 Permissive Tax Exemption Bylaw Number 2268, 2019, which waives property taxes for certain community groups in the district.

Below is a complete list of organizations that will receive exemptions, along with the corresponding amounts of those exemptions: • Peachland United Church, $4,122; • St. Margaret’s Anglican Church, $2,611; • Peachland Baptist

Church, $2,899; • Peachland Wellness Centre, $2,333; • Peachland Riding Club, $1,550; • District of Peachland Community Patrol Office, $2,694; • Peachland Visitor Information Centre and Peachland Boys and Girls Club, $13,141; • Peachland District Retirement Society $6,526; • Maple Springs Bible Camp $2,775; • The Nature Trust of BC $7,209; • Royal Canadian Legion Branch #69, $2,599; • Okanagan Regional Library, $2,593; and • Peachland Chamber of Commerce, $3,962.

Coun. Patrick Van Minsel excused himself from discussion, as he is a staff member

of the Peachland Chamber of Commerce.

In their discussion, Peachland council debated the merits of the chamber’s application for tax exemption for a space that will include a business centre.

“I fully support the chamber at this location and a business centre would be great for the community, but my concern is how much of that over 3,000 square feet would actually be used for COC business and does it qualify under our policy,” Mayor Cindy Fortin said.

“If we like what they’ve done, we make the appropriate tax break for next year.

If we don’t like what they’ve done, we change it,” Coun.

Terry Condon said.

District council unanimously approved the bylaw.

The purpose of the civic grant program is to assist citizens in organizing themselves around community issues and projects.

In the majority of cases, it is anticipated that financial assistance will only be granted for a limited time period, subject to annual review.

Programs and services will be evaluated on the basis of need, appropriateness, and demonstrated effectiveness.

All grants are for a period of one year and shall not exceed $1,000.

An application for a civic grant may be submitted by any organization which: -

Has been in operation no less than 6 months in the District of Peachland Is based in this community Has membership from within the District of Peachland or surrounding areas Has the majority of its members as voting members Is in good standing with its licensing authority Has made, at a minimum, an application to the Central Okanagan Foundation, and has received a written response from the COF, or any other granting organization.

Grant applications are considered by Council during 2020 budget deliberations. Approved grants are distributed after July 15, 2020.

Application forms and civic grant criteria may be obtained at the District of Peachland office, 5806 Beach Avenue, Peachland, B.C. or the District’s website www.peachland.ca. Completed applications must be submitted to the Director of Corporate Servieces by November 15th, 2019.

Albas says the Conservatives will hold government to account Continued from Page 1 The Conservative incumbent ran against, Liberal Mary Ann Murphy, New Democrat Joan Phillip, Green Robert Mellalieu, Libertarian Jesse Regier and People’s Party candidate Allan Duncan.

Albas won with 30,364 votes, beating out Murphy, who trailed behind with 15,843 votes, followed by Phillip with 10,772 votes, Mellalieu with 4,910 votes, Duncan with 1,338 votes and Regier, who received 209 votes.

The Conservatives ended the evening with an estimated 121 seats and 34.4 per cent of the popular vote, leaving the Liberals reduced to a minority government, with an estimated 157 seats.

That falls short of the 170 seats they would have needed to form a majority government. Although the Liberals will form the next government, they lost the popular vote to the Conservatives, receiving just 33.1 per cent.

“From the people of Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola, all I can say is Mr. Trudeau has received a stern rebuke for his policies. Now there is going to be a lot of work just to discuss how we’re going to be moving forward, but all I can say is I will continue to champion your voices in Ottawa,” said Albas. “I will make sure that I am as accessible as possible, come back to be as accountable as possible, and in this

new 43rd parliament to get as much results for the people of Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola so you can feel proud of the representation you have.”

Elsewhere in the Okanagan, joining Albas in Ottawa will be fellow Conservative Tracy Gray, who was elected in Kelowna-Lake Country.

Further south, New Democrat Richard Cannings was re-elected in South Okanagan-West Kootenay.

Although disappointed the Conservatives will not be forming government, Albas said Canadians have had their say.

“They’re expecting us obviously to be the opposition and we’re going to do everything we can to

continue to hold this government to account, and again, to make the case for a Conservative government in the future,” Albas said. “Canada is a big country. People want different things in different parts of it so I think we should take tonight’s results as a positive step for the Conservative Party.”

Conservative Party leader Andrew Sheer will remain the Leader of the Official Opposition, a position he’s held since 2017.

Sheer held onto his seat in Regina—Qu’Appelle, as did Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Green Party leader Elizabeth May and NDP leader Jagmeet Singh in their perspective ridings. A resurgence for the Bloc resulted in

their leader Yves-François Blanchet heading to Ottawa along with a number of MPs, many of whom recaptured seats taken by the NDP in 2015, while Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party lost its only seat.

Albas was originally elected in the electoral district of Okanagan-Coquihalla, a riding long held by former Canadian Alliance Party Leader and Conservative cabinet minister Stockwell Day. A boundary shift created the new riding of Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola

in 2015, when Albas won with nearly 40 per cent of the vote.

The whiners and losers of Canada’s 43rd Parliament DALE BOYD The hashtag #wexit — an unoriginal take on Brexit, but for Western Canada — started trending on Twitter Tuesday as online armchair political “experts” spent the aftermath of the election in whine country.

First, do not lump in the more progressive and diverse voters of B.C. into an Alberta separation sentiment. B.C. voters en masse will not join you on that ride. Second, if I have learned anything from this election, it is that perception of online opinion is often inflated — just look at the election results.

Many conservative-leaning hashtags like #trudeaulesstuesday and memes (most boasting straight-up lies) flooded social media throughout the election in big numbers, but compare that to actual votes and those numbers don’t hold up.

I understand the frustration in Alberta. I think the anger is misplaced and most knee-jerk reactions don’t seem to realize the Conservatives have a strong opposition, putting Trudeau “on notice” as party leader Andrew Scheer put it.

If you voted Conservative, take your lumps, and realize there is an opportunity to work with other parties in a strong opposition. If the party is not hard-headed, and is willing to make concessions, Conservatives could have a role to play. One that rises above calling the prime minister names.

According to many tight races, including the South Okanagan West-Kootenay, where one per cent of the vote made the difference, and one per cent difference between Liberals and Conservatives in the popular vote nationwide, the country is clearly divided — but not enough to start separation talks, at least for the adults in the room.

The logistics of Alberta separation are silly. It would see

the land-locked province become impoverished as the negotiations would sway heavily to the rest of Canada, which would hold most of the cards (international trade routes, a bigger tax base, more imports of essential products) probably creating a worse deal for Albertans overall — or a bastardized version of the current equalization agreement with harder borders.

I am not some outsider telling Albertans to sit down and shut up, I am Albertan born and raised. I spent the first 18 years of my life in the heart of oil and gas country in Cold Lake. My take away from that time? My hometown would see booms and busts with the swing and sway of oil prices, during both Conservative and Liberal governments who don’t have any control over a global market price. Not a great long-term planning policy for a community, or a country.

However, threatening to take your ball and go home is a pretty sad reaction to an election result and pathetically childish populism which will not come to pass. The narrative is being pushed by those who rightly think Alberta was relatively ignored during the election, but combining NDP and Liberal popular vote totals shows the overlapping environmental and social platforms between the parties resonate with more Canadians than the prominence of oil and gas — a tentpole of the Conservative campaign and surely the voter base.

As a nation we are clearly divided almost down the middle on energy issues, but the inevitability of progress and human history say the industry is going to dwindle. The inventor of the light bulb worked by candle light, the inventor of the automobile rode a horse, and the progress of renewable energy will depend on the oil and gas sector.

OPINION

Central and eastern electorate to blame, not prime minister Don’t blame Trudeau. He proved again and again that he was a bare faced liar except when it was black.

When one of his ministers was caught telling the truth she was banished from the party. I think it’s the same punishment if a Liberal MLA is caught with his hands in his own pockets but that’s never happened. In his world ethical behaviour has a total-

ly different meaning and corruption is acceptable behaviour.

The people to blame are all those who feel these qualities are admirable for a Prime Minister of Canada and demonstrated moral turpitude by voting for him.

Thank goodness most of them are in central and eastern Canada.

Jim Briden, Peachland

Existing route would be better than a second hwy in town Editor, It was very enlightening reading Ms. Fortin’s remarks following her discussion with Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Claire Trevena regarding the possibility of a Highway 97 bypass around Peachland.

It seems pretty clear that a true upper level bypass is dead in the water, as Ms. Trevena was vehement in her position that it would not happen due to prohibitive costs, and insurmountable environmental and Indigenous issues.

So where does that leave the community?

Well, we could have another area of our town bulldozed to make way for an additional highway, further dissecting our com-

munity.

In that regard, one thing I learned from attending the Peachland bypass open house, is that surveys indicate that most commuters would remain with the existing route, rather than re-route to a lower elevation alternate route.

It only makes sense, that now the battle for a real bypass is not in the cards, that the existing route be expanded and improved.

Sincerely, Phil Dennis, Peachland

Dear Editor, On Friday, October 11 between 10:30 a.m. 11:30 a.m. my wife and I attended the Peachland advanced polling station. We found there was a line-up of about 40 minutes and joined on the end.

Due to my somewhat advanced age and medical problems, standing and shuffling along can be a little stressful

to me. When we were about halfway through the line, a couple near the front of the line offered to trade places in line with us.

Obviously, they had noticed my stress and made their kind and thoughtful offer.

I thought that some people in line might object and declined the offer. Nevertheless, very thankful for their

Connect Hearing and Professor Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph are seeking participants who are over 50 years of age, have never worn hearing aids and have not had a hearing test in the last 24 months, for a hearing study that investigates factors that can influence better hearing.

Study Parameters The researchers will examine listening in a range of situations, from oneon-one, to group conversations, watching TV and wider social contexts like supermarkets and other noisy environments, and how it effects connection and socialization.

Why Participate?

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss, but most do not seek a solution right away. In this study you’ll be playing an important part in determining the key factors around identifying hearing loss and what influences the decision to seek treatment.

Participants will be significantly adding to growing knowledge surrounding hearing loss.

PHOTO GARY HEDGE

sundownstorage@gmail.com JOANNE LAYH Members of the Peachland Community Arts Council were devastated to see the downtown Rotary mural defaced by dozens of marks made with black spray paint last weekend.

The mural was commissioned by the Peachland Rotary Club and was painted by artist Robyn Lake about 20 years ago. The arts council had given it a touch up eight years ago, but this summer it received a complete overhaul, so the timing of the vandalism couldn’t be less fortunate.

“This year it was just in really, really bad shape. It had huge cracks in it and it had really faded so we decided to tackle the job again. We shared the expense of the paints with the Rotary and I had about six artists work on it, all volunteers from the arts council, and when we fin-

ished we tallied up 178 volunteer hours in order to get it done. We’re devastated. We were so proud of the work we’d done and everyone seemed really pleased.

We just took a lot of pride in what we did,” arts council president Deborah Livingstone told the View.

“We just ask, ‘Why? Why damage something that the town was obviously proud of?’ It’s a beautiful mural.

It’s a historical picture of Peachland. It had been left untouched basically for 20 years. Why on earth now?”

Livingstone says the situation is discouraging and she doesn’t know yet what can be done.

The artists had used exterior latex and the spray paint used to vandalize the work is a lacquer, which Livingstone says is quite permanent.

“These guys aren’t smart. If they’re that stupid to do that they might

be stupid enough to tell someone or be seen,” Peachland Community Police president Gary Hedge said. “The effort that these ladies put into this is huge, so it’s really sad. Hopefully they have a picture of the original so they can actually repaint it. There is going to be many, many hours to reconstruct it. It’s going to sit like this all winter now.

Unbelievable. The stupidity just boggles my mind.”

Hedge says somebody took a lot of time when they were vandalizing the wall and hopes someone may have spotted the vandal in action.

“You can see where they actually had to hang over the top,” Hedge said.

If anyone has information about the defacement of the mural last weekend they are asked to contact the Peachland Community Police at 250 767 2623.

SMALL BUSINESS MONTH Restoration Station Restoration Station was established by RMT (Registered Massage Therapist) and R.Ac. (Registered Acupuncturist) Jennifer McGeorge in September 2000. It began as a home-based business and eventually grew into a bricks and mortar location on Beach Avenue about four years ago.

The business is expanding again and on Monday, November 4 Restoration Station will reopen after undergoing a month-long renovation.

Restoration Station will go from a two-room clinic to a three-room clinic that will also soon include a steam shower so clients can book a steam before a massage or before getting their hair done.

McGeorge has been established as a Registered Massage Therapist in Peachland and was recently nominated for a Peachland Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Award in two categories: Best of the Best and Professional Services and Retail.

The Restoration Station team consists of: • Registered Acupuncturist and Massage Therapist Jennifer McGeorge; • Registered Massage Therapist Lori Mireau; • Body Talk Practitioner Marian Douglas; • Intuitive Counsellor Sheena Keil; and • Hair Stylist Ami Froehlich.

Patients come to see Restoration Station’s massage therapists for a variety of concerns, including musculoskeletal issues, muscle strain or sprain, tendonitis, headaches, sciatic pain, back pain, neck

pain, shoulder problems – any lack of range of motion in the whole body and much more.

On the other hand, patients come to see an acupuncturist for anything they would go to see a medical doctor for because it treats from a completely different perspective. Your R.Ac. may request you see your regular medical doctor (Allopath) before beginning treatment with some conditions.

Acupuncture works with the energy of the meridians, which, in a healthy body, ebb and flow through their perspective channels. They connect to specific organs and tissues (such as your heart, intestines or liver) helping to nourish and activate the entire body. Because each of the main 12 meridians connects directly with an organ, this allows the R.Ac. to treat issues related to the organs by affecting the meridian related to that organ in perhaps an area distal to (away from) the specific area.

Generally speaking, with massage therapy the approach is from a western medicine perspective and with Chinese medicine, you’re thinking eastern, holistic perspective where everything in one way or another is connected. Restoration Station offers both approaches to looking at heath.

Restoration Station is located at 105B 4200 Beach Avenue. Visit RestorationStationRMT.com where you can click on a button at the top for which type of treatment you are interested in. Or call 250 767 3143 and we will book it for you.

Westside Jazzercise

Try the fit, help the cause!

Westside Curb Appeal Inc.

If Paula Cowan’s name sounds familiar it might be because she taught Jazzercise classes in West Kelowna for years. Paula is now returning with a great studio location that has a raised hardwood dancefloor built specifically for dancing. The local instructor is inviting anyone with an interest in dance to come and feel the difference.

Paula has participated in the Jazzercise program for over 25 years and has 15 years of experience teaching Jazzercise. Paula’s Jazzercise practitioners come together to form a family, and she believes Jazzercise can function as a reset button, a door to presence and the place where the good feelings rise to the surface and spill all over everywhere. The amazing results connected to this practice can enable one to see and recognize all that there is to be thankful for in life.

“Jazzercise has become so popular in the Okanagan, that we saw the opportunity to open our own facility,” the local instructor says. “Now we can offer our students a new facility with new accommodations and convenient class times and of course lots of room for growth. A one-shop-stop for your fitness needs, from beginner to athlete, we have options for everyone. Jazzercise is a pulse-pounding, beat-pumping fitness program that gets you results...fast! It’s a calorie torching, hip-swiveling dance party workout to put your abs to the test, with a hot playlist to distract from the burn.”

Instructors train every year to master the Jazzercise method, which fuses cardio, resistance training, Pilates, yoga, kickboxing and the demanding forms of dance.

Classes include Interval, Dance Mixx, Fusion, Flip Fusion, Strike, Core and Strength.

With constantly changing moves, new beats, a variety of workouts and calorie-crushing intensity, customers can expect to feel results after three classes and expect to stick with it.

While Jazzercise can be challenging, it is suitable for almost everybody, including seniors.

The Westside Jazzercise studio is located at 17-1515 Westgate Road in West Kelowna and offers 10 weekly classes, six days per week. Early riser, afternoon sweat sesh or weekend warrior – they’ve got a class time for everyone.

For more information visit jazzercise.com, the Jazzercise Westside Kelowna Facebook page or contact Paula directly at 250 718 9929.

If like most women you are constantly searching for the greatest fit and best look in a pair of jeans, then look no further than the Lanai, on Saturday, October 26.

This Saturday, French Dressing Jeans will donate $1 for every pair of jeans tried on in the store. The monies raised will be donated to the Look Good Feel Better campaign, which provides support for women with cancer.

Most of us have been affected in some way by this disease, whether it’s our own battles or the battles of a loved one, The Look Good Feel Better initiative helps women feel better about themselves, gives them confidence and tries to help women just feel like themselves while struggling with the day to day fight with cancer.

French Dressing Jeans are proud to be supporters of the campaign and in this month of October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month) they are encouraging women to “look good and do good.”

Edna Labreque and her wonderful team at the Lanai are encouraging us all to visit on Saturday and try on the range of French Dressing Jeans, which Edie promises we will just love.

“The fit and styling of the jeans are wonderful,” she says, adding, “FDJ have created four different styles of jeans based on the body shapes of four very different women with one thing in common - they are all breast cancer survivors. The Olivia, (Newton John) the Suzanne (Sommers) the Peggy (Fleming) and the Christina (Applegate) represent four very famous women who all went through a public battle with the desease.

So if you want to help the cause then visit the Lanai on Saturday try on a pair of jeans and then shop the exclusive and unique fall and winter fashion in the store. Edie’s passion for fashion and customer service is evident and her goal is to ensure every woman that enters the store feels welcome, cared for and leaves feeling beautiful. “We do not judge anyone here, all women are gorgeous no matter what shape and size.”

Westside Curb Appeal was incorporated 11 years ago by husband and wife team Chris and Denise Krahn, a Peachland couple who like to get to know their clients and provide personal service. The pair have been a fixture in Peachland for over a decade, receiving most of their business from local referrals.

Back in 2008 they began with exterior work, also known as curb appeal, which refers to the attractiveness of a property and its surroundings when viewed from the street. They started with siding and pergolas and over the years, based on interests and demands, have extended into full interior renovations, including but not limited to kitchens and bathrooms.

Not much liking the service and inflexibility they received from working with larger manufacturers, roughly six years ago they began incorporating their own Westside Curb built cabinets to their profile.

Denise says having their ability to create custom cabinets really opens up the possibilities when working with clients.

“I can walk into your home and we can design the space. There’s no limitations. There’s no standard box size. There’s no height restrictions, no colour restrictions, so it leaves the creativity open,” Denise says.

Denise’s background in business and education and interest in fashion lends itself well to her role as project designer, while Chris, who came from the concrete industry, is the muscle behind all of the jobs.

Denise begins their projects, then once all of the designs are complete and the products have been purchased, Chris takes over, which is when the project physically begins to take shape.

In addition to kitchens and bathrooms, Westside Curb Appeal find there is always a demand for decks in this area, as it is one of the best assets to your home – especially if you have a lake or mountain view.

“Living in the Okanagan, I highly encourage everyone to focus on their decks. When you walk into a house the first thing people want to do is look outside and look at your view,” Denise says, adding that they do a lot of deck extensions and refinishes in vinyl/composite or wood. “It is most definitely a focus of your home and it extends your living space and your entertaining space living in the Okanagan.”

During International Bat Week, District of Peachland planning and economic development technician Matt Faucher will announce a project between the District of Peachland and the Bat Education and Ecological Protection Society (BEEPS).

In January 2019 Peachland council agreed to an annual partnership with BEEPS on a project that would assist in the protection, enhancement or creation of bat habitat within Peachland, honouring the commitment of the Bat Friendly Communities program.

District staff has been working with BEEPS on a project which will assess and identify potential, negative impacts of the urban environment on the bat colony roosting in Peachland Historic School.

Faucher’s research was presented to bat conservationist throughout the province at a conference hosted by BEEPS this year.

The information was well received and is to be further researched and expanded upon in consultation with environmental biologists. An unveiling of the project will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, October 25 at the Peachland Historic School.

Other events in Peachland are also underway for International Bat Week.

The celebration of the unique role bats play in nature will be displayed throughout October 24 - 31 in the historic school.

Learn more about a bats’ role in the food chain and how many of the foods found in our local grocery store, or pantries, have bat-dependent ingredients.

Did you know the seeds of many fruits used in your morning smoothie, such as mangos, papayas and figs, are spread by bats? A lso the next time a Ziploc bag is filled with trail mix, thank a bat for pollinating the coconut tree and banana plant that created those power packed dried chips. And locally, the white blossoms of everyday foods such as peppers, corn and strawberries attract bugs later into the evening, increasing the food source for our foraging bats and decreasing the use of pesticides.

Visit Peachland Historic School to learn more about the uniqueness of bats.

Bring children of all ages to participate in games, crafts and bat painting during International Bat Week, opening Thursday, October 24 at 10 a.m.

Age: 3 Years 3 Months Dog - Mastiff / Lab

Coco came to us from a cruelty investigation. This handsome boy has been on a behaviour modification plan, and though he has taken strides, he has a long way to go. Coco has never lived in a home, and he takes his time warming up to people.

New people have to earn his trust, cheese and hotdog helps a lot! Coco enjoys the company of other dogs, especially puppies and females. He prefers to be the only male dog. Coco needs continued desensitization to the leash, new objects, sounds, and people. Once you’ve earned this gentle boy’s trust, he becomes a cuddly playful companion.

Wellness Centre welcomes grieving to attend weekly bereavement group VALERIE WOOD

PEACHLAND WELLNESS CENTRE

PHOTO LIVIA DIROGLAMO

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CERTIFIED teacher Lee Humphries demonstrates how to test water quality at Greata Creek during the Peachland Watershed Alliance’s first ever Family Forest Day, which was held last Saturday at Greata Creek Camp on Headwaters Road. More than 50 people attended the event to plant native trees, test water quality, hike through the backwoods, and enjoy a home cooked lunch and treats around the campfire.

Bereavement is generally thought of as the state of loss when someone close to an individual has died.

People’s responses to grief will vary depending upon the circumstances of the death, but grief is a normal, healthy response to loss.

Sadness, anger, frustration and loneliness are common feelings to name a few.

Bereavement can also accompany other losses, such as the decline of one’s health or the health of a close other, or the end of an important relationship that could also be a pet or a long-time career.

Recovery does not happen in a set period of time, but the symptoms will lessen as time passes. There is no “normal” process for grief and loss.

Every person is different and there is no quick fix.

Grief needs time and experience and engagement in the work to let it happen.

The Peachland Wellness Centre has been hosting a bereavement group for very many years now. It meets on Thursday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon at the new Residences on 6th (across from the community centre)

in the Oltmanns Room.

Registration is not required. People can drop in, but we suggest that you communicate with the Peachland Wellness Centre office first so that one of the facilitators can have a chat with you to welcome you.

We are not counselors or therapists.

We are a support group of like-minded women and men that can talk openly and confidentially about our experience as we move through the grief and loss process.

All emotions are welcome.

We cry and we very often laugh.

It is a good place to spend a few hours with some compassionate people that are here to listen to you.

November 19 is National Bereavement Day. The Peachland Wellness Centre welcomes you to join others for a presentation on grief on that day in Kelowna, hosted by the Central Okanagan Hospice Association, to learn about the many faces of grief.

The Peachland Wellness Centre is open to take your calls from Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The staff or volunteers will happily take your information and pass it on to one of the facilitators of the bereavement program.

FOR SENIORS

How aging adults can maintain their mental acuity Aging is associated with or linked to a host of mental and physical side effects. For example, many adults expect their vision to deteriorate as they grow older. Such a side effect can be combatted with routine eye examinations that may indicate a need for a stronger eyeglass prescription, a relatively simple solution that won’t impact adults’ daily lives much at all.

While physical side effects like diminished vision might not strike much fear in the hearts of aging men and women, those same people may be concerned and/or frightened by the notion of age-related cognitive decline. Some immediately associate such decline with Alzheimer’s disease, an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that gradually destroys memory and cognitive skills, ultimately compromising a person’s ability to perform even the simplest of tasks. But age-related cognitive decline is not always symptomatic of Alzheimer’s disease. Learning about Alzheimer’s and how to maintain mental acuity can help aging men and women better understand the changes their brains might be undergoing as they near or pass retirement age.

Is Alzheimer’s disease hereditary?

The National Institute on Aging notes that only a very rare form of Alzheimer’s disease is inherited. Early-onset familial Alzheimer’s disease, or FAD, is caused by mutations in certain genes. If these genes are passed down from parent to child, then the child is likely, but not certain, to get FAD. So while many adults may be concerned about Alzheimer’s because one of their parents had the disease, the NIA notes that the majority of Alzheimer’s cases are late-onset, which has no obvious family pattern.

Can Alzheimer’s disease be prevented?

Studies of Alzheimer’s disease are ongoing, but to date there is no definitive way to prevent the onset of the disease.

How can I maintain mental acuity as I age?

Researchers have not yet determined a way to prevent Alzheimer’s disease, but adults can take certain steps to maintain their mental acuity into retirement.

• Exercise regularly. Routine exercise may be most associated with physical benefits, but the NIA notes that such activity has been linked to benefits for the brain as well. For example, a 2011 study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America found that aerobic exercise training increases the size of the hippocampus, leading to improvements in spatial memory. The NIA also notes that one study indicated exercise stimulated the brain’s ability to maintain old network connections and make new ones vital to cognitive health.

• Read more. Avid readers may be happy to learn that one of their favourite pastimes can improve the efficiency of their cognitive systems while delaying such systems’ decline. A 2013 study published in the journal Neurology by researchers at Chicago’s Rush University Medical Center found that mentally active lifestyles may not prevent the formations of plaques and tangles associated with Alzheimer’s disease, but such lifestyles decreases the likelihood that the presence of plaques or tangles will impair cognitive function.

• Stay socially connected. Maintaining social connections with family, friends and community members also can help women prevent cognitive decline. Epidemiologist Bryan James of the Rush Alzheimer’s Disease Center studied how social activity affected cognitive decline, ultimately noting that the rate of cognitive decline was considerably lower among men and women who maintained social contact than it was among those with low levels of social activity.

The idea of age-related cognitive decline strikes fear in the hearts of many men and women, but there are ways for adults to maintain their mental acuity well into their golden years.
