The gang of the Central Okanagan Railway Co. invite the public to come and view their model railway every Saturday at the Peachland Centre mall from 12 to 4 pm. The CORC formed in 1994 and currently has 14 members.

Group fundraisers in the past include collecting donations for the Peach-land Food Bank for Christmas, and last year they presented a $500 bursary to an Okanagan College student. Today, they are working together with the Peachland and West Kelowna Boys and Girls Club on building a separate model railway, constructed with wood and hardware donated by Home Depot. Track, wiring, electronics and trains for the project are provided by the CORC. Upon completion, the scenic railway and trains will be donated to the Boys and Girls Club clubhouse.

It’s back! Th e signs are all there. It hit home for me this past week while I was doing an announcement at one of Western Canada’s largest technical institutes. Th is post secondary training college graduates about 25 per cent of all of the completed apprentices going into a wide range of professions and occupations right across the country.

What they were telling me was good news, but not without its challenges. Th e administration and faculty reps said it was starting to look like déjà-vu all over again. Th e demand for all types of trades is unmistakeably surging upwards again. Th ey said it reminded them of the pressure they felt at the time of major employee shortages a few years ago.

It wasn’t that long ago. You remember. Demands for qualifi ed help or for those willing to be trained was so high that many fast food outlets couldn’t keep open their usual hours because they simply couldn’t fi nd the people.

I’m not saying we’re there yet. Th ere are still many people looking for work. But the strength of the economy is evident everywhere. All I have to do is refl ect on some of the events I was involved in this week.

Just last week I attended the opening of a huge new production facility in Okanagan Falls. Structurlam makes value added wood products that are used here and around the world. If you’re wondering what kind of projects they do, think Richmond Olympic skating oval…that breathtaking magnifi cent roof superstructure. Th ey did that.

Sometimes we aren’t aware of the amazing workers and technicians that we have right here in our own backyard. (Th ey also have a plant in Penticton.)

I was there this week to announce that they were the successful recipients of research dollars in the ongoing development of the next generation of laminated wood beams. Some of you fi nd that exciting. Others of you are about to nod off thinking about it. Well, hold on. Before I lose you, think about earthquake proof high-rise buildings, an apartment or offi ce tower up to 25 stories

high that is held up by resilient, shockabsorbing laminated beams and girders. Th edemand for the people and the product isstrong. And we have what it takes right hereto supply that demand.

Another sign of our growing economy wasevident at the annual Hong Kong businessdinner in Vancouver this week. As minister

for the Asia Pacifi c it was anhonour to bring remarks to thesold-out event. Th e mood in theroom was clearly optimistic.And it was optimism based on

hard facts, not simply hope.Agriculture and energy producers were

there, talking about what appears to be long-term growth and demand numbers. Aft erall, as the middle class continues to grow atan amazing rate and people move annuallyout of poverty by the tens of millions peryear in China, India and other previouslyimpoverished nations the demand fromthem for every type of product imaginablewill only increase. We are very well placedto meet those demands and see our ownlevels of standard of living and prosperityrise in the process.

Westbank First Nations continue to seeeconomic growth. Th is week I was withChief Robert Louie for the announcementof a construction project that will upgradea number of homes on WFN lands. Th atmeans there will be a need for trades andbuilding supply products. More jobs, moresales, more economic growth.

An international meeting of private andpublic sector transportation companies withtop people from around the world also tookplace here (Vancouver) to look at the growthneeds in transportation arising from ourgrowing economy. As I said, the signs of jobcreation and investment are everywhere. Wewill continue to work on the types of policythat will keep this momentum going.

On another note we can be proud of whatCanada is able to off er the world on twodiff erent counts this week. Th is week I hadthe honour of meeting with some of our fi nemembers of our Armed Forces. Canada hasbeen asked to provide soldiers, sailors, andfi ghter pilots to assist with other UnitedNations countries in subduing the Libyan

dictator in his ongoing assault on his own people.

Once again, as we have done throughout history, our Armed Forces will step up to protect those who are being slaughtered by the forces of dictators. As usual, I expect we will hear good reports from others in foreign countries that will have the honour of serving with our Armed Forces.

The dissolution of the Peachland Curling Club Society this past March was sad news for their members and supporters. On a positive note, they were able to present the local elemen-tary school with a substantial cheque to aid students and staff in their fundrais-ing efforts.

“In order for the society to be dis-solved all remaining funds must be dis-persed,” explained PCC president Eddy Kyanka. “At our fi nal general meeting, we approved a donation of $5,000 to Peachland Elementary School.”

The Club asked that a portion of the money go toward the purchase of in-door sliding curling rocks, in order to support the sport of curling amongst the students. A portion will also go to upgrade some gym equipment, and a substantial chunk will go toward a much needed new sound system for the school, for which the students and PAC have already been activity fundraising.

The money must fi rst go to the School District #23, before being passed over to Peachland Elementary School, and School Trustee and Board Vice-Presi-dent, Moyra Baxter, was in attendance to accept the cheque.

Assistant School Superintendent Terry Lee Beaudry expressed her apprecia-tion by speaker phone, saying: “I know it will benefi t the students for years to come, and thank you to the Peachland Curling Club for leaving a legacy and promoting physical fi tness.”

School Principal, Troy White, was also thrilled with the donation and promised to purchase three sets of the slide curl-ing rocks in order for more than one group of students to enjoy at a time.

“When the students attended curling in the past year, they really enjoyed it on the ice, and it is great to be able to further their skills in the gymnasium with some dry rocks. There were smiles on their faces when they went to the rink, and I know this will continue in our gym.“

Tana Silverland arrived in Canada as a new immigrant wanting to make a dif-ference. Having worked on behalf of the SOS Children’s Villages in England, she made a plan to help raise money for the same charity here in Canada. She is cy-cling across Canada from west to east us-ing an Ice adventure trike (a sit-on three-wheeler bicycle). Silverland estimates that the journey will take two-and-a-half years.

On Saturday she arrived in Peachland and was met by Shane Moritz riding his regular two-wheel bicycle. Members of the Peachland Rotary were at the Gast-haus waiting to greet Silverland. Coun-cillor Jean Fraser was on hand as acting mayor.

SOS Children’s Villages is a char-ity that helps orphaned children and is currently raising more than $80,000

for children in 500 villages across 132 countries. The organization was started in Austria in 1949, after WWII created so many orphans.

Silverland has experienced some Cana-dian winter weather that has made her ride a diffi cult one, but she says that the friendships made on route are making it all worthwhile. The more places she vis-its, the more she feels like a true Cana-dian.

Here in Peachland, Wolfgang Muhs, a member of the Peachland Rotary, and his wife Doris, helped with the arrange-ments for Silverland’s visit.

“We are happy to have an opportunity to welcome Tana Silverland to our com-munity and I am proud of the work done by SOS Children’s Villages,” said Muhs.

Silverland has a blog at http://ta-nasilverland.wordpress.com where she records her travels and adventures. For more information on SOS Children’s Vil-lages visit www.soschildrensvillages.ca.

Editor’s Perspective

Our mystery girl took this photo of Sunnyside Market in 1908. At that time it was called Morrin & Thompson store, which had also been a business in the mining town of Phoenix, near Greenwood BC. Maybe they moved their business to the mining town of Peachland?

The section with the three windows was built fi rst, and the section with the two windows added later. About this time a new buyer arrived, Alf Town, who bought the business, renaming it: A. TOWN STORE, in subsequent photos from 1909.

Note the awning used in the summer, the boardwalk in front and the hitching posts for horses.

Peek into the past

By Cindy FortinEditor ∙ [email protected]

Dear Neighbour,We all know spring, sunshine, and the enticement of

our decks are calling us toward outdoors. I myself am so looking forward to my yard.

I have three indoor/outdoor cats; each are explorers as well as hunters. I am hopeful they are not much of a bother to my neighbours. They are neutered/spade and do not spray their scents.

There are many dogs in our neighbourhood, and everyone is great at cleaning after them. The barking however is becoming quite bothersome. While I do realize that people have to work and leave their pets

alone, I have diffi culty watching a pet, day after day, in a fenced yard, just begging and wanting affection. This particular dog barks all day long. I am not liking the noise through my closed windows at 7 am.

When it gets warmer, I love airing my home and listening to the multiple birds, crickets, and what lit-tle traffi c we encounter. I don't like complaining but, there just has to be something done to stop the poor lonely dogs' boredom.

Sincerely,Your Neighbour Sandy

Something needs to be done for the lonely dog

The Vancouver Canucks pulled it off! While it has been an unusually cold start to spring this year, I prom-ise you that he(double-hockey sticks) did not freeze over.

With only a couple of games left to wrap up the NHL regular season before the start of the playoffs, the Ca-nucks are already hoisting the President’s Trophy. This honour is presented to the team with the best record in the league in the regular season.

Yes, the Canucks!This is huge for two reasons. One, because it means

they had the greatest number of points in the entire Na-tional Hockey League, which consists of some 30 teams from across North America. (Only 1/5 of those teams, six, are Canadian.) The second reason is…Well, they’re the Canucks!

I have been a steadfast Canuck fan since the early 1980s, -- since the days of bone-crushing Howard Snepsts and Tiger Williams--, (yes, I said Tiger Williams, not Woods), and despite some less than stellar years, I have always been a never-say-die Vancouver cheerleader. I have a Canuck t-shirt, Canuck fl ags, Canuck pucks, mugs, drinking glasses, the waving “We-are-number-one!” foam fan hands, a photo of me standing next to the coveted Stanley Cup, a 1980s “King Richard” Brodeur hockey card, and other team paraphernalia.

However, being a longstanding, all-weather fan, I am well aware of their history of disappointments. Clench-ing a berth in the playoffs is not something new for the team, progressing to the semi-fi nals and Cup fi nal is rare. And I worry, like many fans, if they can do it.

The Canucks suffer from a serious condition called: “Canuckosis”.

Canuckosis: “The mental determination to achieve goodness, but never greatness; the fortitude to bore through the regular season to the playoffs, then lose momentum and fi zzle out; the mindset of settling for a playoff berth, but lacking faith in one’s ability to carry home the Cup.”

A good case-in-point is their loss to the bottom-of-the-Western Conference Oilers last Saturday, 4 to 1. Not the playoffs yet, but a poor showing, nonetheless.

There is also the dreaded “curse” of the President’s Trophy for the Canucks to contend with.

The President’s Trophy was introduced in the 1985-86 season. Only seven of the 28 teams who won the trophy went on to bring home the Cup. Two lost in the fi nals.

In the 2008-09 the San Jose Sharks not only did not bring home the cup, but also failed to win a single play-off round! The same thing happened with the Washing-ton Capitals in 2009-10.

But statistics are just that…statistics. We tend to focus on the down side, rather than the successes.

Let’s focus on which President’s Trophy holders went onto claim the Stanley Cup. They are: Edmonton Oilers (1986-87); Calgary Flames (1988-89) New York Rang-ers (1993-94); Dallas Stars (1998-99) Colorado Ava-lanche (2000-01) Detroit Red Wings (2001-02); and Detroit Red Wings (2007-08).The President’s Trophy also means some $350,000 in bonuses, and the winner gets home-ice advantage for all four rounds of the Stan-ley Cup playoffs, provided they advance that far.

Of course, there are those who feel that playoff home-ice advantage is no advantage at all.

Go Canucks go!

Dear Editor;I am 12 years old, and my name is Nathan Froehlich.

I live here in Peachland, and I am so frustrated that there is nothing for my age group. It’s all for young families and toddlers and like seven year olds. That’s awesome for little kids too, but…well, I think it’s time for some general change!

Every other town in Canada has a curling rink, and a skate park, and something for youth other than soc-cer or baseball! And something for kids who other-wise couldn’t afford to play sports or do something fun in Peachland. And the curling rink idea is awe-some! Kudos to who ever had the idea in the fi rst place. And why not make a new bowling alley? I’m sure you would make lots of money of it, and people would have lots of fun, and it makes lots of new job opportunity!

Conspicuously, because of the bad economy, may-be even like go karts. Lots of kids love them, even adults. It’s about time for some change! There’s nothing to do in winter. If we made like a FREE ski and snowboard club you would have lots of people especially kids. And if kids had a vote about what’s happening to THEIR FU-TURE! I’m sure if it were that way I wouldn’t even be writing this. And their future, including mine, is

Youth writer is frustrated nothing to do in Peachland

Go Canucks go!

According to NHL broadcaster Darren Eliot, “This lack of success is because the style of com-petition in the playoffs is different from the regular season. Instead of play-ing different teams every night, the President’s Trophy winner needs to advance through four best-of-seven playoff series against clubs that might have a hotter goaltender, a better defensive team, or other players that pose match-up problems.”

True. But I still think it’s better to start a best-of-seven match with the home crowd cheering you on.

To be honest, I think maybe this will be the Ca-nuck’s year. (The fact that I have my fi ngers crossed behind my back means nothing.)

And before I forget…kudos to the Sedin broth-ers. Daniel is NHL point leader, while Henrik is only a handful of points behind. Those two Canuck players alone, deserve to bring home the Cup.

Go Canucks go!

being chosen by the last generation. There is no skate park in town and we have lots of

skaters. This town probably wouldn’t have as much bad stuff, more good stuff. And I know for a fact I’m not the only kid in Peachland that feels the same way, I promise you.

Everything in Peachland is for senior citizens! You know what happened when my dad was a kid? The curling rink burned down. Guess what we built? A senior center. Tell me we aren’t focused on senior cit-izens. It sometimes makes me want to move out of Peachland! And I have lived here since day 1 of my life and my Dad has lived here for 44 years and hasn’t seen much change.

And, no, that development didn’t make opportunity

for kids, like they said it would, they promised an aqua centre, but yet they didn’t even have a permit! Like at least build a huge gymnastics gym and play cube and rock climbing wall like at the Energy Plex, like in Kelowna, by the Grand 10. Something so that when I go away and someone asks me where I live; I want to tell them I live in a fun town with lots of stuff for the youth.

Well, frankly, I haven’t been, because if I said that, it would be a lie. Why don’t we start focusing on youth! The FUTURE OF PEACHLAND.

The Peachland Variety Singers will be celebrating its 35th year with a special concert "I Believe in Springtime," to take place this Sunday, April 10, at 2 pm at the 50+ Activity Centre. Photo contributed.

The Peachland Variety Singers will be celebrating its 35th year with a special concert Sunday, April 10. The program, “I Believe In Springtime”, includes pop-ular music from Broadway to gospel tunes and is guaranteed to have the au-dience tapping their toes.

Over the years the group has ranged from 30 to 50 members made up of singers from Peachland and West Kelowna. In that time, the Variety Sing-ers have taken on more challenging music by composers such as John Rut-ter, who wrote their fi rst concert piece, “I Believe In Springtime”, in eight-part harmony.

Earlier this year, the choir presented a Valentine’s Day mini-concert as part of the Spirit Festival. At that time the au-dience was invited to attend the April 10 concert and hear how the love songs sound after six more weeks of rehears-als.

After the concert, most of the choir will be travelling to Harrison Hot Springs to take part in the Senior Chorfest work-shop and gala concert in Chilliwack April 13-16. As part of Peachland’s cen-

tennial celebration, the Variety Singers hosted the 2009 BC Senior Chorfest. This was the fi rst time a small commu-nity had sponsored the event, thus in-spiring Harrison Hot Springs to take on the 2011 Chorfest.

Besides two concerts a year, the Peachland Variety Singers sing at munic-ipal events, such as Civic Awards Night, Canada Day and the Christmas Light-Up. For many years they have shared their music in nursing homes and hos-pitals.

Choral music has proven to be a healthy pursuit, a left brain/right brain exercise, so besides having a lot of fun and bringing pleasure to others, the choir is doing something for its own well-being. The Peachland Variety Sing-ers is open to anyone who enjoys mu-sic. Rehearsals are Monday at 9:45 am and the fee is a $15 membership in the Activity Centre. The choir will resume on September. 12.

The public is invited to help its lo-cal choir celebrate this special anniver-sary on Sunday, April 10 at 2 pm in the 50+ Activity Centre. Admission is by donation and choir members will serve a spectacular tea after the concert.

Peachland residents are in for a very different experience next Saturday when they will be able to see a wonderful dis-play at the 4th Street Place. Open from 10 am till 8pm, the whole building will feature displays by performers, artists and crafters in a celebration of First Nations culture, part of Arts & Culture week in Peachland. Admission is by do-nation.

“Peachland does not have a native presence in the community, and I’d like this to be a way to bridge the gap and let everyone see what rich and diverse talents there are in the first nations pop-ulation,” said organizer Shirley Hildeb-rand.

“I feel it’s important to ensure that our traditions are preserved.”

Exhibitors from West Kelowna, Mer-ritt, Kelowna and Mission will be travel-ling to Peachland for this show.

Though the public may enjoy all the displays from 10 am on, the official opening by Mayor Keith Fielding will be at noon, followed by an opening prayer. Special entertainment featuring story telling, drumming, singing and dancing will be ongoing from 3 pm, with a Mini Pow-Wow from 6 to 7:30 pm.

Eight different displays will feature crafts such as carving, beadwork, jew-ellery, and leatherwork of purses and moccasins, and the making of pine chests. Noted Indian artist Dennis We-ber, well-known for his drawings and paintings, will be in attendance with some of his work.

“Footprints” – a native experience

For a different type of refreshment, try the native tacos and bannock at the booth set up by the folks from the Kekuli Café in West Kelowna. These unique native foods will be available from 11:30 am to 7:30 pm.

The whole day promises to be an en-joyable experience for everyone. Drop by on Saturday, April 9, between 10 am to 8 p.m. at 4th St. Place. Admission by donation.

Lions know what Lions do. An example of our ser-vice philosophy is “Never give less than you can be-cause you never know how much the other person needs”.

The Peachland Lions Club has always shown this type of passion, as we’re all about community and you build your community by making sure that all the components are working properly. Serving in our community of Peachland is the way we can make a difference.

Right now Peachland Lions, in partnership with Summerland Lions Club, are aggressively preparing for our 13th Annual Golf Tournament on May 1st at the Summerland Golf & Country Club. The mon-ies we raise from this tournament this year will go to Camp Winfi eld in Lake Country to support programs and camperships for handicapped kids. Last year we raised $13,300.00 for Camp Agar, a new camp being built west of Summerland for youth and adults with handicaps to enjoy year round outdoor programs and activities.

Our clubs are still seeking sponsorships, as well as silent auction and golfer prizes. Donations can be made through Eldon (250-767-0330), Lynne (250-767-6225), or Rob (250-767-9332). The entry fee this year is $90. for 18 holes (shotgun start) of golf, dinner and prizes, and of course toss in some fun. What bet-ter way to spend a day and help a charity!

This year Westjet has again donated two tickets to anywhere they fl y, as our fundraiser is for the “kids”. These are being raffl ed off and tickets are one for $5 or three for $10 and can be purchased from any Lions member, Valley First Credit Union or Johnson-Meyer Insurance.

Peachland Lions are happy to welcome Steve Swee-ney as a new member to our club. Steve transferred from the North Delta Lions as he and his wife Shelley have recently retired to Peachland from the coast. Shel-ley has attended the last few meetings and our club is planning to install her as a new member later this month. A big welcome to both of you!

Our club meets every second Tuesday of the month at 7 pm in our Den (basement of the Policing Sta-tion) and the fourth Wednesday of the month at 7 pm in the Community Centre for our dinner meeting. Visitors are always welcome to join us to see what we do as a service club. For information or to arrange a visitation with our club call Dan at 250-767-9034 or e-mail me at [email protected]. Better yet, please drop by our table at this years Trade Show April 9th and 10th or visit us at this years Volunteer Fair April 13th from 6-8:30 pm.

By Erin Boyes, District of Peachland

Water Rates Bylaw Amendments

Council gave fi rst, sec-ond and third readings to Water Rates Bylaw No. 1931, 2010 Amendment Bylaw Number 1981, 2011. This amendment brings the agricultural rate in line with the 2009 level from $0.04 to $0.10 per cubic meter, with no increase in any other rate category.

Earthworks Bylaw Amend-ment

Council gave fi nal recon-sideration and adoption to Earthworks Control Bylaw No. 832 Amend-ment Bylaw Number 1977, 2011. This amend-ment allows for landscap-ing businesses to be ex-empt from the permitting process.

Council gave fi rst, sec-ond and third readings to both Freedom of In-formation and Protec-tion of Privacy Bylaw No. 1982, 2011 and Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1980, 2011.

These bylaws replace Freedom of Informa-tion and Administrative Fees and Charges Bylaw No. 1632, 2001, thereby bringing administrative clarity of having two dis-tinct bylaws rather than one.

tion

I think spring has fi nally arrived! It’s not snowing any-more and the birds are singing.

A couple of weeks ago, our son phoned from Toronto and said that he was still getting snow there. It was a beautiful warm day here, and I told him the snow was fi -nally fi nished. I was wrong! It snowed overnight and the ground was covered -- at least, up the hill a bit where we live. But all of that is just a distant memory. Or, at least, I am trying to make it one. I have traded my snow shovel for a rake and am eagerly looking for some green grass buried beneath the leaves and branches.

It’s time again for spring cleaning, out with the old and in with the new, hoping that everyone will notice how good things look. But this is not the most impor-tant cleaning we will ever do. In fact, fall, and then win-ter, will come again, guaranteed. The grass will wither and the fl owers will fall and the snow will return to bury them yet again.

Now don’t let that discourage you, it’s just to remind you and me that there is something that needs to be cleaned that is of far more importance. And no, it is not your car, or your teeth, or anything that you can see, but it is your heart. I’m not talking about your physical heart, I’m talking about your soul, the part of you that is often neglected and forgotten, but is of the utmost importance. We often forget about those things that we can’t see, but Jesus said that our heart, our morals, our motives is what He will judge when we meet Him face-to-face.

There is a special promise in the Bible to those who keep their hearts clean and pure. In His sermon on the mount, Jesus pronounced eight beatitudes, which is Latin for blessings, on those who were citizens of His spiritual kingdom. The sixth blessing mentioned in Mat-thew 5:8 says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” What an amazing promise! They will see Him face-to-face, and no longer through a dark glass, but will see Him as He is and delight in Him forever! Who will see Him? Only those with a clean heart. But how then can I get a clean heart?

“Spring cleaning… What is the top priority?”By Pastor John RankinPeachland Baptist Church

In Psalm 51:10 King David wrote this prayer to God, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” David knew that he was a sinner, and was reminded of the horrible things he had done (adul-tery, murder), and he knew that there was nothing he could do to make it right, to make it clean, to make the guilt go away. He had no power in and of himself to change his sinful ways, to wash away his sins, and make them as white as snow, but he knew who could. He knew that the God, who made his heart, could also change it, and make it new, and that is what he desperately wanted. He was so tired of feeling miserable and depressed, and wanted to know the joy of His salvation. What should he do?

God’s word clearly tells us. I John 1:9 says, “If we con-fess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Is that all a person has to do is confess their sins? No, they must confess that they are a sinner and in need of a Savior, and believe in Jesus Christ who is the only one who can

save them (John 14:6). Romans 10:9 says, “If you con-fess with your mouth, and believe in your heart that God raised Him (Jesus) from the dead, you will be saved, for it is with your heart that you believe and are justifi ed (forgiven, acquitted), and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.”

Confession then, cannot just be lip service, but you must really mean it, and turn from your sinful ways, and if so, you will have a new heart, a clean one, one that is no longer bogged down in sin, but now a ser-vant of the most high God. And that is why you will see Him, because you love Him and want to please Him.

What pleasure can an unclean heart take in the vi-sion of a Holy God? Just as God cannot endure to look upon the sin of a heart that has not been cleansed.

Have you done your spring cleaning yet? Don’t worry, there is still lots of time. Have you done your heart cleaning yet? Don’t wait another minute. It is the top priority, for today is the day of salvation.

Business 2 Consumer Expo promises many new at-tractions this year and a fun-fi lled weekend for all. World of Wheels will display autos and trailers at the Primary School parking lot and invite everyone to a sing-along and campfi re after the doors close at 5 pm on Saturday. If you’re a musician bring your instru-ment; if not, bring your singing voice and expect a good time from 6 pm on.

Bat guano for all your plants will be available at Peachland Bats booth, along with the chance for prizes, t-shirts and bat houses. Patrick Barton is a member of BC Toy Makers Society and is fondly

known as The Peachland Elf. Patrick has graciously built and donated over 200 toys for the Salvation Army and Children’s Rehab Centre in Vancouver at Christmas. Orders will be taken at Business 2 Con-sumer Expo for Patrick’s bat houses at $75 each to cover costs. View the detailed houses at Booth #19 and participate in the Peachland Bats guessing game to win your very own bat house donated by Barton. Pat also requires donations of white glue and sand-paper to continue his generous work for children at Christmas. These items can be dropped off at the Peachland Bats booth.

Also try the ATV Teeter-Totter sponsored by Okan-agan ATV Tours and Valley Moto Sport, and fi nd out

the latest about upcoming Zip Zone Adventures. Both Ponderosa Golf and Summerland Golf & Country Club will test your golf skills outdoors, while cardiovascular screening by Synergy Worldwide and spinal screening by Health in Hand Chiropractic takes place indoors.

Check out Usborne Books for kids and the new-est landscaping techniques by Westside Curb Appeal, Lush Mountain Landscaping, and Blade to Blade. Don’t forget to bring those antiques for a free apprais-al by Resale Vintage and Western Star Auctions.

All these events will be happening on Saturday, April 9 from 10 am to 5 pm, and Sunday, April 10, from 10 am to 4 pm. The fi rst 50 guests through the doors on Sunday receive a gift too. See you at Business Expo!
