Hundreds attend the Peachland Rose Show
Over 300 people attended last weekend’s Peachland Rose Show, but only one person went home with the Overall Best in Show tro-phy and that was Judy Runzer, who won for her bouquet of roses.
Runzer’s winning bouquet contained numer-ous rose varieties including Gold Medal, Peace, Mardi Gras, Double Delight, Fame, Olympiad, Pope Jean Paul, Spellbound, April in Paris, and Gemini.
“This has been the best year since we’ve lived in Kelowna for growing roses. It’s been abso-lutely fantastic,” Runzer, a past-president of the Kelowna Garden Club told The View.
The winners of the remaining best in show awards were:
• People’s Choice – Best Fragrance: Noel Eck-rol;
• Miniature Rose Best in Show: Phyllis Pap-ineau (1st and 2nd) Irene Oishi (3rd); and
• Large Roses Best in Show: Carol Cain (1st), Barbara Clark (2nd), Irene Oishi (3rd).
“We had 200 entries, which is up 60 from the previous year,” Sowers and Growers Gar-den Club member Phyllis Papineau said. “The judges were very impressed with the quality of the roses and some people spent hours here, which is really lovely.”
In addition to the rose displays, the event also included an auction, about 20 fl oral themed works of art on display by local painters, as well
as a tea and luncheon.“The Rainbow Auction for gardening items
has been very popular. That’s an addition we couldn’t do in the little schoolhouse because we didn’t have any room,” Papineau said. “We’re thrilled to bits with the turnout and response.”
International rose show judge Malcolm Scott said the show was exceptional considering the weather this spring. “I was a bit worried but they’ve come through with some great entries...all different types of roses are represented from hybrid teas to miniature roses and fl oribundas. It’s been a pretty good representation,” Scott said. “Everybody always wants to enter the per-fect one, but every rose is nice. From the weak-est entry to the best, it’s nice. It’s the volume that makes the show.”

Positive reception for proposed Oasis building
Proposed Oasis building A preliminary concept plan for the proposed Oasis building shows a main fl oor with parking spaces, common areas, and some commercial retail space. Conceptual plan Kasper Development Corporation
Peachland could have a four-storey retirement living building downtown by the end of next year if the proposed Oa-sis project proceeds as planned.
The builder and developers hosted their fi rst public open house last week where they presented concept plans that reveal a four-storey retirement liv-ing complex that includes three fl oors of residential units above a main fl oor of common areas, parking, and some com-mercial retail space.
A spokesperson for the project, build-er Doug Kasper, says the project will have somewhere between 51 and 63 residential units in the fi nal design plan and the project could be fi nished in the next 18 months if all goes well.
Over 50 people, most of them se-niors, attended the public meeting last week to learn more about the supportive housing project and the type of hospi-tality services that might be offered to residents.
In the concept plans presented last week, about one-third of the main fl oor is designated commercial retail space and two-thirds would be a com-mon area for the residents, containing a kitchen and dining area, as well as space for another amenity.
“We’re listening to the comments of the seniors today. If there is a growing demand or a special need for common area or space it will be brought in to assist the building at having success for the community. It’s an open palette right now. Those are some ideas that we put on the renderings. It’s not concrete. It’s still shifting depending upon people’s comments,” Kasper told The View.
No exterior plans were presented but Kasper says it will be fi tting to the area. “The owners of this property had devel-oped the Gateway…I think it would be complementary to that so that it doesn’t detract. I think it would be of the same style,” Kasper said.
If built, the Oasis building would be located on the property at 13th Street and Lake Avenue.

The Peachland legion is facing diffi cult fi nancial times and if nothing is done to reverse current conditions, they could close their doors before the end of the year, local legion fi nance chair Barrie Hewer says.
Hewer says the legion has been operat-ing with a defi cit budget for the last 18 months and has been dipping deep into reserve funds to pay for operational ex-penses.
“Over the last eight months it’s gotten worse and worse on an expediential ba-sis,” Hewer told The View. “At the current rate of burn, it [the reserve fund] will be gone by November.”
The legion is now facing some tough choices about what they need to do to become sustainable going forward. At their June 25 general meeting, the mem-bership will be asked to vote on whether or not to refi nance the assets of the le-gion, which includes the property next to the legion.
Refi nancing is a short-term solution that will help the legion for a period of time, but Hewer says they are also work-ing closely with the B.C./Yukon Com-mand on long-term strategies, with the main focus being on increasing their membership.
The Peachland branch is not alone in their challenge. Legions across Canada are losing memberships and facing simi-lar, if not worse, fi nancial hardships.
Hewer says that in addition to refi -nancing and their strategies for improv-ing revenues, they also intend to apply to the district for relief on their property taxes. In addition, staff at the legion have taken pay cuts to help the branch stay out of the red.
In an effort to turn things around, the branch has also just begun a member-ship drive that they hope will help attract new people to the legion.
Hewer says one of the biggest obstacles in attracting new members is changing old perceptions about what the legion is and who can join.
“You can join if you are a Canadian citizen and over 19 years old. You can join and have fun,” Hewer says. “We renovated the front third of the legion. It has chesterfi elds, chairs, a fi replace, specialty coffees…we’re trying to change the Peachland legion to be a place where people can go and relax. We’ve got free
email, free Wi-Fi. We need to attract new members. It is the only thing that can save us.”
Hewer says the legion also offers mem-bers a chance to play snooker, volleyball, pickleball, and do other activities, but changing public perception about what the legion offers has been a challenge.
“People don’t think of it that way. They think of it just as a dark old place for vet-erans to talk about stories of the past and current army personnel to come in and tell stories about the present and that’s wrong,” Hewer said.
Despite these challenges, the Peach-land legion continues to give back to the community by fundraising at least three days a week, primarily through their meat draw events.
As a charitable organization, the le-gion must give away any charitable funds they raise, which means that even though they may be losing money each month, they continue to fundraise for charities and pass those funds on.
Hewer says it would be a huge loss to the community if the legion were to close its doors, since many organizations benefi t from donations from the legion. Legion donations go to many different organizations, both national and local, including the Peachland Food Bank, Well-ness Centre, and the Boys and Girls Club.
“If you lose legions, you lose a lot of services for veterans and armed forces people and seniors housing and youth groups and all kinds of stuff,” Hewer says. “To be perfectly frank, roughly 78 per cent of our income comes from the bar and that’s what keeps our doors open. Charitable work doesn’t keep the doors open because we can’t use any charitable proceeds for operational ex-penses.”
Hewer says if the membership votes not to refi nance, the doors likely will be closed at the end of November.
“We’ve got strategies we’re trying to implement. That’s why we’re trying to get this line of credit so we can put these strategies in place. We have an active working executive that’s worked really hard over the last nine months to in-crease revenues and we’ve had some re-ally good successes and some diffi culties on other ideas,” Hewer said.
June 25 to June 30 is Legion Week in B.C. As part of their Legion Week mem-bership drive, the local branch will host a public open house on Saturday, June 30 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

OPINION
We hate to see seniors taken advantage of by people who prey on their vulnerabilities.
A knock on the door by a smooth-talking salesman may be the devil in disguise, and seniors need to be wary about opening their wallets unnecessarily.
There are too many horror stories about seniors being scammed out of thousands of dollars. And regardless of how often these stories are published, people are still giv-ing their hard earned money to fl y-by-night operators.
You know what they say. . . there’s a sucker born every minute, and fools and their money are soon parted. But even suckers can learn to be leery, and the Better Business Bureau has countless tips to help prevent you from getting burned by bad deals.
ContractorsSolicit at least three bids for the remodelling work you
are planning, but do not automatically accept the lowest offer. Ask for local references and inspect the fi nished project. Ensure that the contractor is properly licensed and bonded. Do not sign a contract with sections left blank, and don’t make fi nal payment until the work is completed.
Bank inspector schemesNo bank employee or police offi cer will ever ask you to
withdraw your money for any reason. If anyone asks you to do so, call the police or your bank manager right away. People should never discuss personal banking details with someone whose identity they do not know.
LotteriesIf you’re thinking about responding to a foreign lot-
tery, don’t do it. Ignore all mail and phone solicitations for foreign lottery promotions. If you get what looks like lottery material from a foreign country, turn it over to the Competition Bureau in Canada.
By responding to just one foreign lottery offer, you’ve opened the door to many more bogus offers for lottery or investment “opportunities.” Your name will be added to the “sucker list” that fraudulent telemarketers buy and sell.
Relative in need scamThe bureau warns senior citizens to be aware of an
emerging telephone scam that is preying on seniors across North America.
For example, a senior citizen receives a distressed phone call from someone who they believe is their grand-child, who says he has been arrested or involved in an auto accident and needs money to post bail or pay for damages.
Seniors are asked to confi rm the identity of the caller by calling him or her directly or verifying the story with other family members before taking any further action.
Packing HouseThis 1910 building was one of Peachland’s earliest fruit pack-ing houses and it was located on the area now designated Heritage Park. The back was a loading dock for the stern-wheelers. Beside this to the left was a cannery and prior to that one of the fi rst jam factories. The Ford Model T truck deliver-ing fruit would indicate that this was taken in about 1924 and the business seems to also be an agency for Studebaker horse drawn wagons and bug-gies. Much of the fruit was still delivered by horse drawn wagon.

Character and form not historicLike it or lump it! This is the message I got loud and
clear from the public hearing on the rezoning of TNI’s Edgewater Inn property. Most people at the meeting were pleased with the overall development plans, but I (and several others) wanted to express our concerns that this building, although a nice enough building, did not follow the guidelines and intention of the downtown charrette report. The building, which will be the centerpiece of downtown Peachland, is situated on one of the fi rst developed sites in the village but does little to refl ect the historic nature and village at-mosphere of the community.
At the beginning of the meeting we were told by both Mayor Fielding and Dave Smith, our planner, that character and form would be discussed later at the building stage. Unfortunately the architect, Shane Worman, stated that he had no intention of chang-ing anything about the building, including character and form. He fl ippantly said that he did not like the
Mona Lisa, so it was okay if some people did not like his design! This position was further endorsed by Mr. Steve Allison of TNI, who was quoted in the June 15 issue of The View saying, “For the whole town of Peachland, there were three negative comments. I can live with that. You can’t please all of the people all of the time…!”
I feel that we who are willing to voice our concerns are being bullied and intimidated. I, like Mr. Allison, have also invested in Peachland. I bought a house here and have chosen to live in the community. I pay my taxes to the municipality and spend money here. How hard would it have been for Mr. Allison and his ar-chitect to welcome the input and offer to reconsider character and form at the later stage?
TNI’s business goals should not be allowed to ride roughshod over Peachland’s downtown development goals.

The Rose Show that was held on Saturday, June 16 again showcased the spirit of volunteering so preva-lent in Peachland. The past president of the Kelowna Garden Club commented on how hard the Sowers and Growers had worked to make it a success. One of the rose judges, Malcolm Scott, also from Kelowna, echoed these sentiments when he said his former club in the Lower Mainland was huge but was lucky to get 10 members to organize a show.
The Sowers and Growers, along with family and
friends, had 30 workers who not only set up, but also baked for the tea, exhibited roses, provided auction items, and cleaned up in record time. Visitors enjoyed the fl oral paintings and photographs that provided even more colour to the event. The Peachland Little Schoolhouse terrace tables added a certain charm to the tea setting.
Peachland continues to be a great place in which to live due in part to its volunteers.Phyllis Papineau, Sowers and Growers, Peachland

OPINION
Ordinary versus extra-ordinaryThe building proposed by TNI for the old hotel site
on Beach Avenue is very ordinary; the site is extra-ordinary. This does not make sense. If the building goes ahead as now proposed, we are all to blame for
allowing it to happen. Once built, it won’t fade away like yesterday’s logo.
Patricia Ryder, Peachland
This week I will be voting in full support of Bill C-38, the Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity Act. My support for this bill will be a disappointment for some citizens who for a variety of different reasons op-pose the second phase of our government’s Economic Action Plan that is carried out in Budget 2012. When I ran to become a member of parliament I did so with the intent to support a platform that recognizes the importance of jobs and supporting our regional econ-omies. In our region some of the largest employers in communities like Okanagan Falls, Princeton, Merritt and Logan Lake are supported through mining activi-ties and responsible resource development. Many of the spin off industries that also benefi t from this in-dustry are located in communities like West Kelowna, Penticton and Summerland. It is also the revenue from resource royalties that help fund the very services that we as Canadians depend upon.
When the U.S. housing market collapsed we all watched the resultant decline in our local forestry de-pendent communities. Mill closures and resulting un-employment in communities where well-paying jobs are in short supply are very serious concerns. While we are fortunate to see our resource sector being revi-talized, we must also recognize that it is important to diversify and expand our markets so that our Cana-dian economy can enjoy more stability. Likewise we must also recognize that in order to diversify to other trading partners we require effi cient access not just to the markets themselves but also to our resources. We also cannot ignore that today Canada is facing one of the greatest and most challenging global economic environments in modern day history. While our gov-ernment is criticized for attempting to do “too much” with Bill C-38, the opposition and supporters are sug-gesting that Canada should instead do nothing.
Obviously this is a point of disagreement and one we have debated about at length. In fact, there has not been a budget bill for the past 20 years to receive as much study as Bill C-38 has. It should also be noted that in spite of opposition claims to the contrary, Bud-get 2012 is actually a smaller budget document then the bills were for budgets in 2009, 2010, and 2011. Recently our government actually voted to extend the house hours until midnight so that even more debate
could occur. Although not widely reported in the me-dia, it was the NDP who voted against increasing the debate time on Bill C-38. I am reasonably confi dent that regardless of the amount of bills or debate time allocated, the opposition and supporters would con-tinue to remain opposed to Budget 2012.
Fortunately, there are some facts that can be agreed upon. During our government’s Economic Action Plan, Canada’s job creation record has been the best in the entire G7. Further, our consecutive budgets have also ensured that Canada’s net debt to GDP ratio is by far the lowest in the G7. More importantly, both the International Monetary Fund and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development have predicted that the Canadian economy will be amongst the very best performing in the industrialized world over the next 24 months.
In summary, Budget 2012 continues to build upon the success of Budget 2011 in ensuring that Canada is a leading country in a challenging and fragile inter-national economic environment. I do appreciate that there are those who oppose Bill C-38 and my sup-port for this bill will not be welcomed by them. I have heard from and met with many different citizens who disagree with this bill much as I have met with a great many who are in full support. Often in any healthy democratic environment there will be disagreement on issues of importance and for elected individu-als, how we vote will in-variably disappoint some, much as it will meet the approval of others. In this instance I believe it is important for those disappointed by my vote to hear fi rsthand the rea-sons why I am supporting Bill C-38 and the jobs it will protect and enhance throughout the Okana-gan-Coquihalla region.

MP will give full support to Bill C-38

� COUNCIL MEETING HIGHLIGHTS - MARCH 22,2011
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.
Fees and Charges & Freedom of Information
and Protection of Privacy Bylaws
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.
Offi cial Community Plan Bylaw Amendment – Vol-untary Amenity Contribu-
tion
Council gave fi rst and sec-ond readings to Offi cial Community Plan Bylaw No. 1600, 2001 Amend-ment Bylaw No. 1969, 2011 for the provision of including Voluntary Amenity Contributions. This funding mechanism will help the District to fund future amenities in the community. A public hearing will be scheduled prior to third reading.
Sign Bylaw Amendment
Council gave fi rst three readings to Sign Bylaw Number 1853 Amend-ment Bylaw Number 1980, 2011. This amend-ment will restrict applica-tions for full color digital message centers with TV motion.
Sidewalk Café, Merchant Display and Mobile
Vending Licenses and Encroachments
Council granted autho-rization for the Water-front Pizzeria and Grill to allow construction of a sidewalk patio from May 1- October 31, 2011.
A public consultation process will be under-taken in relation to side-walk café, merchant dis-play and mobile vending licenses and encroach-ments, including:
• Letters sent to down-town businesses with in-formation and invitation to attend a public infor-mation meeting
• Advertising in the Peachland View
• Public information meeting
• Final review and com-mencement of council adoption process

NEWS | AGRICULTURE
For some time, the price for one of our farm’s Peachland-grown, or-ganically produced radish bunches has been $2. And for some time, I’ve noticed that a similarly sized bunch of California-grown, con-ventionally produced radishes at Peachland’s IGA is $.79.
Ouch!I wince as much as you do, be-
lieve me. A trip to the grocery store always involves a peruse of the pro-duce section to see what my Cali-fornia competition is charging and I’m often gobsmacked at the differ-ence. Especially when you consider that that $.79 is being split among IGA, the distributor that shipped the radishes 1,000 miles to get them here, and the farmer who grew them. So what’s the farmer’s cut then? A quarter, maybe? That means she’s getting by with one-eighth the price that we are.
How the heck is this possible? I suspect most people, even our most faithful customers, wonder why the premiums demanded for locally grown, organic produce are so high. The answer isn’t straight-forward, but I can still take a stab at it by exploring the possibilities.
Here’s one: we’re hosing you. In spite of carefully constructed out-ward appearances (crappy truck; dishevelled, threadbare attire, that polka-dotted bindle I’m always carrying on my shoulder), Vanessa and I are secretive veggie-tycoons who use our vast radish-wealth to fl y our helicopter to our various homes that dot the globe like so many fl ea beetles on our latest crop of arugula.
We wish. The reality is that the local food economy is a very com-
petitive one that would very soon punish those who sought to bilk their customers. Check out a lo-cal farmers’ market and you’ll fi nd most veggie prices are comparable, which most likely refl ects that farm-ers are charging what they need to make a (rather modest, I assure you) living. Unless I’m part of a lo-cal radish cartel that I’m not telling you about...
Or perhaps the answer is that the Okanagan’s organic veggie growers are terribly ineffi cient. But how to defi ne ef-fi ciency? Often, the defi nition leans to-ward the production of the most food for the cheapest price, period. But that defi -nition pays no heed to the billions of tonnes of topsoil that are blown and washed away from the world’s farms each year because of produc-tion practices that stress maximum output at the expense of the envi-ronment.
The list of negative environmen-tal consequences of producing food as ‘cheaply’ as possible is long, and many of those consequences are reduced or even eliminated with organic farming practices. There’s a consequence though: many or-ganic farming practices are more time-consuming, which makes the produce more expensive. Why do so many people spray herbicides on the weeds in the cracks of their driveway rather than just pull them out? Because spraying them is much, much faster.
Even if we all agree to factor these environmental problems into the effi ciency equation, I can’t be
sure that my California competi-tor is pillaging the environment to charge what she does. Though when I consider the long hours we work and our ongoing effort to improve our farming and busi-ness practices against the fact that her radishes cost the same as two Timbits it makes me wonder. And I just can’t imagine that a whole re-
gion of farmers is in-effi cient. A couple of city-raised doofuses like Vanessa and me? Maybe. But all the organic farmers in the Okanagan? No way.
What if we con-sider that the Cali-fornia radishes are not organic? Here we might fi nd a clue. Our fi rst crop of rad-ishes this year was
beautiful, but we lost two-thirds of the second crop to pests. Our com-petitor’s radishes are most likely sprayed with chemicals to prevent such challenges.
And I nearly forgot: California and other warm southern regions can probably grow twice the num-ber of radish crops that we can in a year, a plain old competitive advan-tage. That sort of thing goes both ways though: right about now, in a cream-coloured sugar shack out-side of Davis, California, a belea-guered farmer is writing an essay for his customers to explain why his maple syrup costs $200 per li-tre.
All of the above presupposes that the two radish bunches are exactly the same. I believe otherwise, but that’s for another essay. It’s getting late and our radishes are begging to be weeded. Again.

Regional board highlights: June 14
2011 audited fi nancial statements adopted
The regional board has adopted the 2011 audit-ed fi nancial statements for the Regional District of Central Okanagan. A copy is available for view-ing online at regionald-istrict.com and at the fi -nance and administration services in the regional district offi ce at 1450 KLO Road, Kelowna.South Slopes Offi cial Community Plan (OCP)
The regional board has adopted the new South Slopes Offi cial Communi-ty Plan Bylaw No. 1304. This is the fi rst OCP for the area that includes the electoral area outside the City of Kelowna bound-ary between June Springs Estates and the south por-tion of Lakeshore Road and was developed after more than one year of extensive public consulta-tion. One of the primary objectives in developing the area OCP is incor-poration of several envi-ronmental development permit requirements that previously were not in place to ensure the pro-tection of important en-vironmental values and areas. The bylaw also identifi es the ‘Kelowna Mountain’ properties as a recreation resort study area, which indicates the secondary planning pro-cess required prior to consideration of any fu-ture change in land use.Organic solid waste management study
The regional board has received a study and re-port regarding manage-
ment options for organic waste across the Central Okanagan. The assess-ment evaluated feasible disposal methods for pri-mary categories of organ-ic waste like yard waste, biosolids, white and con-taminated wood materi-als. The study found the current regional organic waste management sys-tem offered a high level of sustainability and that contrary to expectations, introducing a segregated food waste collection program wouldn’t likely deliver improved perfor-mance and could actually worsen the solid waste management system. As a result, the current program operations and functions will not see any changes. However, they may be adjusted in the fu-ture based on changes in provincial mandates.Shorts Creek risk assessment
The regional board has received a report prepared by Urban Sys-tems assessing conditions posed by continued ero-sion from high water lev-els and fl ows in Shorts Creek in the Fintry Delta area near Fintry Provin-cial Park. The board has asked regional district staff to continue efforts to quickly bring together provincial government ministries and agencies to further discussions and possible short-term actions to reduce the po-tential impacts of further creek erosion and fl ood-ing issues that may be caused with future heavy rainfall and protect both road infrastructure and properties.

COMMUNITY | FAITH
June is wedding time. According to U.S. statis-tics, of the estimated 2.3 million weddings that are solemnized each year, the average age of the bride is 25.3 years of age and the groom is 26.9 years of age. Roughly one-third of those getting married each year have been mar-ried before. $72 billion a year is spent on wed-ding receptions, with an average cost $20,000 per wedding and an average guest list of 172 people. Each year approximately $19 billion is spent on wedding gifts through registries. The offi ciate at many of these marriage ceremonies is likely a pas-tor or other duly appoint-ed representative of the Holy Christian Church.
Many question whether the Christian wedding is really any different than marriages that take place before a judge or justice of the peace.
For Christians, mar-riage has two natures: a human nature and a divine nature. The hu-man nature of marriage cuts across all marriages. The estate of marriage is defi ned by government. Statutes and regulations defi ne who can be lawful-ly married and the process by which the marriage is registered. These regula-tions also defi ne the legal rights and liabilities of the spouses to the marriage. Marriage creates a part-nership. The law requires you take your spouse to the exclusion of all oth-ers. You must be faithful to your spouse. Like all partners to a partnership, one spouse can bind the
other spouse to purchas-es, debts and liabilities. Spouses are legally obli-gated to support one an-other. Income tax codes allow spouses to claim one another as depen-dents and share or split income and losses. If a spouse becomes incapaci-tated, the other spouse is authorized to make deci-sions with respect to the care of the incapacitated spouse. Marriage laws are essential for healthy mar-riages and families. They create legally enforceable rights, obligations and boundaries. While these laws and regulations are necessary for healthy marriages, they do not empower couples to live up to these rules, other than force compliance under the threat of the consequences of breaking a rule.
For Christians, mar-riage has a divine na-ture. Jesus said, “A man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one fl esh. So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” (Mark 10:7-9). Ever wonder how God joins a couple together so they are no longer two but become one fl esh? The prophet Solomon wrote this gem of wisdom: “A cord of three strands is not quick-ly broken.” (Ecclesiastes 4:12.) The three-stranded cord provides a beautiful image of how God makes two into one. The bride and groom are two of the strands of God’s three-
stranded cord. When God blesses the couple on the day of their mar-riage, He gives them a third strand that wraps around both of them and binds them together as one. The third strand is made up of love and faith. God created us male and female so we could be fruitful and multiply and live together in lifelong relationships involving intimacy, fi delity and sharing all that comes in life. God uses this attrac-tion and desire to bring the bride and groom to-gether and will continue to use this attraction to keep the couple together. God gives the couple not only love for one another, but also faith and trust in Him and His Word. God’s Word encourages and empowers couples to love one another sac-rifi cially and forgive one another from the heart. Solomon’s short verse re-minds couples that many stresses will tug at them and their relationship that could cause their bond to be broken. However, if they believe and trust that God brought them together and has given them the grace and gifts to keep them together, then their three-stranded cord can bear the bur-dens of life.
Is life pulling you and your spouse apart or is your love and faith being tested? Join us at Grace Lutheran Church at 1162 Hudson Road in West Kelowna at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. on Sundays. God will strengthen the cord that binds you.

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.
