Beginning this fall, Peachland parents will be able to take advantage of preschool and afterschool programs at Peachland El-ementary School, thanks to the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs.
The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs have been operating a mobile youth program in Peach-land since 2009, however this is the fi rst time that they will be providing ser-
vices for young children in Peachland.
The preschool program is being offered through a partnership with School District 23, while the af-terschool program is in partnership with the Dis-trict of Peachland.
“We are very excited to be able to expand our ser-vices in the community of Peachland, which will help us fulfi ll our man-date to help young people grow healthy, happy and safely from birth to adult-
hood,” Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs market-ing coordinator Erin Tur-vey said.
Up until June 2010, both preschool and af-terschool programs were operated by the District of Peachland. The new programming offered by the Boys and Girls Clubs will replace that which was previously offered by the district.
The afterschool pro-grams are open to chil-dren from Kindergarten
to Grade 6. Beginning on Tuesday, September 7, afterschool programming will be available on week-days from 2:30 to 6 p.m. and will include sports, leisure, creative arts, per-sonal growth and life skill activities. Programs are also available on profes-sional days and during school breaks. The fees are $13.50 per day for 2:30 to 6 p.m. program-ming or $31.15 per day for the full-day program.
The preschool program
is available for three and four-year-olds. Preschool will begin on Monday, September 13 and will be offered between 8:30 and 11 a.m.
Classes for three-year-olds will be offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays for $110 per month, while four-year-olds can attend on Mondays, Wednes-days and Fridays for $160 per month.
“Our preschools en-courage children to ex-plore, learn, and grow in
a stimulating and fun en-vironment. Preschoolers develop and practice so-cial and language skills, cooperative play, inde-pendent thinking and an awareness of self,” Turvey says.
Subsidies for both pro-grams are available and there are still spaces avail-able for all programs, Turvey says. For more information or to regis-ter call 250.768.3049 or email [email protected].
Boys and Girls Clubs to off er preschool and afterschool programs
By Bob Sugden
Over $600 million ($300 million more than fi rst budgeted) has been allocated by the provincial government with federal support for a number of High-way 97 projects. These include the Bennett Bridge, the Summerland improvements, high-way widening through Kelowna and the West-side interchange.
In the last month, Minister of Transporta-tion and Infrastructure (MOTI) Shirley Bond was on hand to launch the $41 million project at Westside Road.
The Ministry an-nounced that Westbank First Nation (WFN) have signed an agree-ment to deliver the new interchange, improve-ments to supporting roads and a new un-
derpass at Spland Road through qualifi ed con-tractors. The project will be turned over to the province once com-pleted.
Westbank First Na-tion Chief Robert Lou-ie shared with me the fi ve years of business planning that went into the project that complies with federal and provincial pol-icy template revisions of 2007. When completed in the fall of 2012 it will establish a village of homes and commerce around the WFN gov-ernment buildings. He understands what Peachland is endeavour-ing to do.
Thanks to Chief Louie I was able to talk with Minister Bond and
present a copy of the Sustainable Peachland Charrette Report. Em-phasis was placed on transitioning Highway 97 to a “scenic route” that unites the commu-nity rather than becom-ing the great divide that she experienced on the
drive through West Kelowna. She did ac-knowledge an unders tand ing of the Peachland issues.
Just after the MOTI Minis-ter’s visit, the
Task Force joined with the 97 Corridor Panel to meet with Stockwell Day MP to encourage action on the proposed Peachland Transporta-tion Terms of Reference. We referenced that it was received by the MOTI Minister in June 2009 as unanimously endorsed by council and subsequently backed at the Peachland Commu-nity Meeting of April 21, 2010.
Minister Day knew of the terms related to the federal-provincial trans-portation business case
template and its role in planning. It is the guidebook for Multiple Account Evaluation and Cost Benefi t Analysis for highways.
This same business plan template worked well for WFN, the High-way 97 Task Force and now Peachland council are seeking comprehen-sive highway planning from the Connector at Highway 97 south to Greata Ranch. At that meeting Councillor
Condon presented Min-ister Day, often called President of the Trea-sury Board, Day, with a copy of the charrette.
Peachland is prepar-ing with the Ministry to provide Highway 97 access to the Pincush-ion-Ponderosa devel-opment. It should be noted, there will be four lanes at some points but in the words of MOTI district manager Murray Tekano at the June pub-lic meeting, “The lanes
are just there to handle the volume - to allow for the traffi c to be able to queue at signals… It’s got nothing to do with four-lane through traf-fi c.”
The Highway 97 Task Force Society is pre-paring for the annual meeting on September 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Little Schoolhouse. A fundamental structur-al change to the Task Force will be voted on. We invite you to join us.

� IN BRIEF by Joanne Layh
Risk of fire still high
While it has been a quiet week at the Peachland fire hall, things could change at any minute, officials are reminding people. “Even though it seems like summer is coming to an end and things are starting to get
cooler at night, we’re still in very high fire danger so we still have to take extreme caution because the for-est is dry, the trees are dry, the duff and woody material is dry and all it will take is a spark, a cigarette butt or somebody being a little bit careless to get a fire going,” Peachland fire chief Grant Topham said. Topham says that Peachland will probably be under high forest fire danger until the end of September. Residents are being asked to exercise extreme caution.

Information on Public Hearing Notice
For the Ponderosa /Pincushion Ridge Master Development Plan
Recent amendments to the Local Government Act require that the Ponderosa/Pincushion Ridge Master Development Agreement (also referred to as a Phased Development Agreement) be presented under a separate bylaw. Although the Master Development Agreement was provided as a schedule to the Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw at the previous Public Hearings in respect of this development, it was not included as a separate bylaw.
A Public Hearing will be held just prior to the September 21, 2010 regular Council Meeting, at 6:30 p.m., in Council Chambers. There is no new information being presented at this public hearing.
Minor amendments to the Master Development Agreement have been recommended by our District Solicitor, which are for clarification purposes, grammatical changes, and including some legal and technical revisions. Again, no new information is being presented or proposed.

Land-locked salmon are back for fall spawn-ing and that has sig-naled the reappearance of the Kokanee inter-pretation programming. The Regional District of the Central Okanagan (RDCO) will be offering fall fi sh programming at Hardy Falls Regional Park beginning on Sat-urday, August 28.
From now until Octo-ber 10, Parks Services interpreters will be on hand at Hardy Falls each weekend from noon to 4 p.m. to pro-vide information about this example of nature at work, RDCO commu-nications coordinator Bruce Smith said. The interpreters will explain the Kokanee spawning cycle while offering visi-tors the chance to wit-ness some of the process in action.
The park is located just off Highway 97 at the south end of Peach-land.
“The highlight of spawning season though is the Kokanee Salmon Festival,” Smith says. The festival takes place on Sunday, September 19 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Mission Creek Regional Park, but there
will also be a mini-festi-val set up at Hardy Falls Regional Park in Peach-land again this year on that same day.
The RDCO, in con-junction with the Peach-land Sportsmen Asso-ciation and the folks at Westside Curb Appeal, will be sponsoring the mini-festival with salm-on interpreters, crafts, activities, hot dogs and refreshments.
Attendees from previ-ous years will remem-ber realtor Roger W. Cyr serving up free hot dogs at the Hardy Falls mini-festival. This year Cyr has passed the torch onto Westside Curb Ap-peal. Denise and Chris Krahn, renovation spe-cialists for Westside Curb Appeal, jumped at the opportunity to get involved with the Kokanee Salmon Festi-val and help raise some money for the Peachland Food Bank. The West-side Curb Appeal team will be serving up hot dogs in exchange volun-tary non-perishable food donations or a loonie.
“We are excited to be a part of this year’s event to support our local parks and the Peachland community. Having two kids of our own, we feel this is a great family out-
ing with on-hand edu-cation that only comes around once a year,” Krahn said.
Visitors to the park should be aware that during spawning sea-sons, bears have been frequently sighted as they depend on fi sh for food. Offi cials are ad-vising park visitors to travel in a group and make noise to reduce the chance of encounter-ing a bear on the trails. Pets should be kept on a leash along designated trails and out of any streams or creeks, Smith says.
In addition to the parks programs, each weekday from September 13 to October 1, interpretive programs will be offered for schools. Teachers can book programs by calling 250.469.6140. The school programs are provided by donation, and Smith says they are an extremely popular fi eld trip with students.
This time of year will also see the return of the exhibit ‘Something’s Fishy – Get to know the Kokanee’ at the Envi-ronmental Education Centre for the Okana-gan (EECO). The exhibit runs at the EECO until October and is open daily.
Spawning Kokanee salmon make return to Hardy Falls
This past week the legal proceedings re -garding the init iative process concluded and the results on a riding by riding basis are now available at the Elections BC web-site located at www.elections.bc.ca.
Locally here in the riding of Penticton just over 9,400 sig-natures were verif ied. With the init iative process now vali-
dated and the results posted, this week the init iative draft bill will be forwarded to an all-party commit-tee of the Legislature. The Select Standing Committee on Legisla-t ive Init iatives has 90 days under the act to make a recommenda-tion with respect to the draft legislation. It is expected the com-mittee will be meeting in September with fur-ther updates pending.
On the theme of tax-es, Price Waterhouse Coopers of Canada recently confirmed that Brit ish Colum-bians pay the lowest income taxes of any Province in Canada. Since 2001, BC in-come taxes have fallen anywhere from 37 per cent to 75 per cent de-pending upon your in-come level. Lower in-
come taxes mean more net take home pay for you to decide how to best spend your mon-ey.
While on the topic of saving money, com-petit ive bidding on previously announced projects means that there are surplus funds available to un-dertake further road repairs this season. Specif ically the Sum-merland Hill portion of Highway 97 will see paving rehabilita-t ion work occurring later on this season. Combined with the completion of the Highway 97 widening north of Summerland, many commuters can now move more safely and eff iciently throughout the South Okanagan.
Before I close this week I would like to recognize and con-gratulate the follow-ing: Eythan Brown, Brett Fleming, Joshua Greenwood, Dean Grimm, Chris Pond, Mitchell Walton, Maya Venkataraman, Ella Weir, Travis Do-roshuk, Angela Klein, Luke McIntosh, Kei-rsten Mend and Ty Moorman. This group of young athletes rep-resented our region in sports such as base -ball, lacrosse, soccer, swimming, tr iathlon and volleyball and returned home from the host Township of Langley with medal winning performanc-es. Job well done by this great group of Okanagan youth.

Surplus of funds for road repairs From a resident of Peachland
Developers should make haste
Reading rocks at the libraryThere was a lot of fun and prizes to be had at the wind-up of summer reading
club on Wednesday, July 28 at the Peachland branch of Okanagan Regional Li-
brary. The summer reading club is an annual event held every July for kids aged
six to 12. Programs are provided free of charge with weekly book draws, guest
speakers and fi nal draws for various contests. It’s always great to see everyone
from the young to the young at heart enjoying themselves!
The reading part of summer reading club continues until the end of August.
Keep fi lling out your reading logs and bring them in to receive your stickers. We
will be having a presentation of medals and certifi cates to those who completely
fi ll in their reading logs, which will take place on September 7 at 7 p.m. at the
library. Please call us at 250.767.9111 for confi rmation of attendance so we can
have your certifi cate of completion ready!
I would like to thank the following people and groups for their continuing
and much appreciated support: Peachland Friends of the Library (our speakers
and many prizes would not happen without them), speakers Tanya Lipscombe,
Barb Wilson, Colleen O’Hare and Mike Broback, my very terrifi c co-workers,
community librarian Tara Thompson and assistant community librarian Ra-
phael Desjarlais, as well as principal Troy White and the teachers of Peachland
Elementary School, who help us promote our program through letters to the
parents and school visits.
Last but not least, thank you to all the children and parents/caregivers who
participate each year to make the program so successful. Have a great summer
everyone and see you at the library!
Diane Green, assistant community librarian
While driving down Beach Avenue, I was observing the ongoing construction
and noting the overhead utility wires. I thought, ‘here was a golden opportunity,
while digging up the road, to bury these ugly wires.’ Why wasn’t this done?
Perhaps the cost was prohibitive or maybe it wasn’t considered. Just a thought.

Dear Editor,
Your editorial on the front page of the last issue (August 20) about the rede-
velopment of downtown Peachland is most interesting. I think that it is great
to have a realistic concept for improving the downtown core of Peachland. But
what concerns me is what kind of a time frame are we looking at. A majority
of us will be dead before we see anything happen or improve. The curling rink
had been in the making for over 20 years and now is gone by the wayside, the
Primary Schoolhouse has been shut down for approximately 10 years and now
has turned into a bat-breeding house. Basically what I’m saying is that when a
new idea is born either get it approved or disapproved in a timely fashion and
get on with it!

This week marks the last instalment of the Little Schoolhouse art series. From Thursday to Saturday, the Little Schoolhouse art display will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. There will be paintings by three artists - Carol Ewasiuk, Dorothy Hughes and Sharon McPhee.
In her younger days, Carol took classes for six years at the Edmonton Museum of Fine Arts. But it wasn’t until she retired in 2005 that she had time to paint. Carol moved from St. Albert to Peachland and joined the Peachland art group in 2009. She paints with oils in a variety of sub-jects. Dorothy Hughes is a local artist who has enjoyed being part of the local art community. Her style is evolving and her quest for perfection con-tinues. Sharon McPhee is very well known not only as an artist but also as a director of the Little Schoolhouse. Sharon is drawing portraits this year.
If you are looking for a
place to visit or just tak-ing a walk along Beach Avenue, be sure to make the turn on 4th Street and Brandon Lane to check out our local art-ists. The artists love to receive visitors and there is no pressure to buy, al-though many paintings are for sale. The work of a different artist, Sandra Kessler, will be featured on Sunday. Sandra has an arts degree and ex-periments with acrylic in a variety of ways. Her work is quite remarkable and a little different to many other artists. Come and check it out; you’ll
be glad you did. Sunday is also the last chance for afternoon tea; volunteers will serve tea or coffee and dessert from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Drinking a cup of tea or coffee out on the patio is one of Peach-land’s beautiful experien-ces; and at only $1 it is a great deal. If the fresh air makes you hungry, there will be dessert available ($4.50 for the full meal deal). All money raised is used for the preserva-tion of the Little School-house. Make sure you check it out this week-end, or you will have to wait for next year.
Final week of Little School House art series

On Sunday after-noon the singing cow-boys and cowgirls from the Westbank Country Opry performed on the mobile stage at the Gazebo on Heritage Park. The entertain-ers were from Kelow-na, Penticton, West-bank, Summerland and Peachland. A very large crowd estimated at 300 brought their own seat-
ing, donations to the food bank, and filled half of Heritage Park to enjoy a great show. La-verne Prozny of Peach-land spent a great deal of time and effort to make sure the event was a success. On the May long weekend he also produced the suc-cessful Heritage Music Festival on the same portable stage. He was sure this one would be a big success if only the
weather would cooper-ate. The predicted rain never materialized and the wind died down as the show got underway.
Thanks to all the lo-cal merchants and res-taurants for their sup-port and Okanagan Towing for transport of the stage. Plans are being made to consider bringing the May long weekend festival and the Opry back next summer.

The Tai Chi For Well-ness Club has been meet-ing in Heritage Square during the summer. We practise the 108 form of Yang style Tai Chi with a smattering of Qigong exercises and Wu Dang components.
Tai Chi represents dif-ferent things to different people. Some are attract-ed to the martial arts connection, others to the dancelike qualities or im-proved health and peace of mind. The benefi ts are determined by a person’s intention, frequency of practice and the efforts devoted to learning.
When the Yang family developed this style of Tai Chi, they integrated the idea of bodily move-ment with the concept of Tao. This represent-ed the highest level of spirituality where body, mind, family, commu-nity, country, world and universe become one. Heady stuff. I include this fact to indicate the depth to which this dis-cipline can be taken.
Tai Chi is moving meditation through slow deliberate circular move-ments and deep breath-ing. It takes about three months to be taught the entire sequence of 108 moves. Time to person-ally memorize and per-form them correctly var-ies widely.
Yin and yang, stretch-ing and contracting, hard and soft, full and empty: these opposing concepts are felt throughout the form. They demonstrate balance. Mindfully performing the set of movements brings inner peace. There is no past, no present, no future. We are here, in the now, moving one step after the other.
Current research shows the benefi ts of reg-ularly practising Tai Chi. Lowered blood pres-sure, stronger bones, improved balance and coordination, reduced pain from osteoarthritis, increased joint fl exibil-ity, better concentration, enhanced immune sys-tem and reduced stress hormones are some of the results.
I was attracted to Tai Chi because it looks so graceful and peaceful. I wanted to be able to do this form in the woods where I walk my dogs. I do that, although I have to clear sticks and pine-cones to make a fl at area. I learned the set and then discovered the phi-losophy of Taoism, the never-ending process of learning more about Tai Chi, and fi nding that it really is moving medita-tion and therefore a new experience each time. It has also been an oppor-tunity to meet many new friends.
It is a custom in Tai Chi circles to have tea after the set. Marjory Gove is our tea master, brewing the tea to the right point of perfection. We have a brown betty for the herb teapot and a special one bought in Vancouver’s Chinatown for the green tea. It is during this time that we get to know one another and share information to fi rm up our friendships. This is an integral part of our Tai Chi experi-ence.
Maureen Heathwood visited England during the summer and will be showing us a series of qigong exercises and movements from her Wu Dang Tai Chi club. Lisa Spalleck will be leading the beginning class and I will be leading the exer-cises and the continuing class.
On September 2 we return to our usual lo-cation in the United Church Hall. New mem-bers are welcome during the month of September and again in January. Come and try it out. The beginning class meets on Thursdays at 9:30 a.m. The continuing class meets on Tuesdays at 6 p.m. and Thursdays at 10 a.m. For more informa-tion, phone the Wellness Centre at 250.767.0142 or visit our website at w w w.peach landwel l -nesscentre.ca.

Peachland through Tania’s Eyes
Richard Smith, long-time Peachland resident and local historian, is the featured gallery art-ist this week. He was in-fl uenced by his mother Mary Smith, who was a founding member of the Peachland Art Group that celebrated its 50th anniversary last year.
Smith graduated with an Arts degree in Fine Arts and English before taking a more practical Industrial Education de-gree. He took a year off from university to hitch-hike around Europe and North Africa, observ-ing the cultures and art forms in many countries.
Smith has been called an installation artist as he sees the other proj-ects he’s tackled as an art form - Centennial events, the creation of the Chi-nese Laundry Restaurant (the fi rst of its kind any-where), a 24 karat golden peach made from a real Peachland peach and pre-sented to Lt. Governor
Stephen Point, vintage car restorations, a recent country music festival, the Centennial book “Peachland – The First 100 Years” and other un-usual artistic creations such as the repainting of the Heritage Park totem pole.
A small selection of large, colourful acrylic abstracts and realistic watercolour renderings of Okanagan scenes are currently showing at The Gallery. There are also paintings on display in the Peachland View newspaper offi ce.
A fascination with the art of kiln glass slump-
ing has resulted in jew-ellry and dishes created by this process. Layers of glass are melted together under controlled condi-tions and the results are wonderful and wonder-fully unpredictable.
Smith’s membership in the 50-member Peach-land Art Group is a continuing opportunity to create paintings and share ideas with the rest of the members. He has given workshops in ab-stract and watercolour painting which harkens back to teaching art in Penticton, Princeton and George Pringle Second-ary School.

Another summer is on its way out and things around town are gearing up for full speed activ-ities. The 50+ Centre is no exception, with most of our regular programs starting in the week of September 6, just after Labour Day. Some pro-grams, including the art club and the Tues-day movies, have later starts so call the offi ce for dates. Beginning on September 1, regular of-fi ce hours will be week-day mornings from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Health In Action is continuing under a new name – Friendship Tues-days. The regular atten-dees felt that because the focus on health has been taken over by other agen-cies, they would concen-trate more on the social aspect of friendly gather-
ings twice a month, with the movie program as part of the proceedings. The fi rst movie shown will be Chocolat, which will be featured on Tuesday, September 28 at 1:30 p.m., following the usual blood pressure r e a d i n g s and mas-sages for those that wish them. Eve r yone is wel-come to come and renew old acqua int -ances and make new ones over a cup of cof-fee or tea.
Instruct-or Taryn reports that Yoga for the Young at Heart will be back to its regular time of 1:30 p.m. on Wednes-
days, as does Instructor Kay for Tai Chi on Mon-day at noon and Iron and Silk Exercises on Thursdays at 11 a.m., so there’s no excuse not to get back in shape after a summer of lazing on the beach!
A spe-cial treat is being p l a n n e d for Friday, S e p t e m -ber 24. The ladies of the Ukrainian Orthodox C h u r c h in Ke-lowna are s e r v i n g up home-made per-ogies and
cabbage rolls with all the usual trimmings of sausage, onions, sour cream and poppy seed rolls. There will even be vegetarian cabbage rolls for those wishing them. Tickets are on sale now at $13 for PDRS mem-bers and $15 for non-members. Tickets are open to members only
until September 1, but non-members can call now to be put on the list for after that date. Enter-tainment will be by the Sadok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble from Kelow-na, which promises to be lively and colourful. Doors and the bar open at 5:15 p.m., dinner will begin at 6:15 p.m., with the entertainment scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Call the offi ce now at 250.767.9133 to reserve your ticket. Table reser-vations can be had for parties of six or more.
Remember, member-ship in the Peachland and District Retirement Society entitles you to participate in all pro-grams; it’s only $15 per calendar year, pro-rated to $10 if a new member-ship is taken out after September 1. All those 50 years of age and over are welcomed. See the community events page for a list of programs. Parking may be a bit of a hassle over the next weeks; we hope 8th Street won’t be too im-possible, but thankfully it won’t last forever.

Each year in a three-year cycle, we concen-trate on one of the three Gospels, Matthew, Mark or Luke, with the Gospel of John woven through parts of every year. This year is the year for Luke, who often relates stories of Jesus sitting down to eat with people. We have examples throughout the Gospels of Jesus eating with tax collectors (Mat-thew and Zaccheus for ex-ample), a Leper (Simon) and friends Mary, Mar-tha and Lazarus, and the Disciples. We have other examples of Jesus eat-ing at a wedding feast in Cana and having a meal where an unfortunate
woman brought a jar of very expensive perfume and poured it over Jesus’ feet, then wiped them with her hair. And of course there are the two most well known meals: the Passover meal He ate with His disciples be-fore He was taken into custody and eventually crucifi ed and the meal He ate with anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 men (plus accompanying women and children), the one where the little boy’s fi ve loaves and two fi sh become enough to feed the thousands with 12 baskets of food left over.
In all of these meals
Jesus makes no pre-conditions that a per-son might have to meet before they sit down to share a meal with him. No creeds or doctrines that they needed to be-lieve in, no social status of suffi cient elevation, no racial or religious standards to meet. Jesus shared bread and shared God’s love and compas-sion with all. As Bruce Prewer puts it in his book, Good Tucker in the Desert, “Jesus did not ask whether they were all believers or not. He did not insist on conformity to a set creed. He did not say that only the morally good folk deserved to eat.
He did not exclude the young or those second-class citizens who were women, nor the tax col-lectors or other sinners. All were welcome at His table under the open heavens”.
This coming Sunday we are reading about Jesus having a Sabbath meal at the home of a leader of the Pharisees, a group of Jews who em-phasized the importance of the learning of scrip-tures and the follow-ing of the law of Moses. Jesus often had lively dis-cussions with members of this group around the understanding of God’s Kingdom and
how we should live our lives within the ambit of God’s compassion, mercy, justice, peace and steadfast love.
Setting so many stories of and by Jesus around a meal of some kind em-phasizes for us the im-portance of sharing table fellowship and the social obligations around “table hospitality” in Jesus’ time. Just as so many relationships and busi-ness deals are cemented on the golf course these days, in Jesus’ time meals reinforced and cemented relationships. Each invite to a meal meant recipro-cation later on, and so so-cial and community ties were bonded. There were some hosts who would seat people according to social status and woe betide any one who tried to seat themselves above their station in society. In our focus scripture, Luke 14:1, 7-14, Jesus notices the way some guests were jockeying for position and He urges the guests, and by exten-sion us, not to push our-selves forward in a grasp-ing way as true honour is of God. Jesus then goes
on to challenge the host, and by extension us, to include people who will never be able to recipro-cate the dinner invite. To broaden our guest lists is to respond to God’s invitation to create an open table, a community that invites and includes everyone.
Such a teaching was very diffi cult for those Jews who were con-cerned about ‘ritual purity’ – where one ate, with whom one ate and what one ate was part of carrying out one’s re-ligious practices. Jesus calls us to live different-ly, to live with humility, because we are secure in God’s love and there-fore do not need to puff ourselves up or push or promote ourselves. In-stead, we are encouraged to set our table (live our lives) remembering that we are not the hosts but God who loves us all is. For the blessings we have received in life are lov-ing gifts from God and blessings are only truly blessings when we share them with others. And as Jesus reminds us bless-ings are especially to be shared with those who will never be able to re-ciprocate, that is the way of God’s kingdom, and we are blessed to be able to share in that kingdom here and now. God loves us all, and all are invited to the feast of God’s love for God sets an open table. Thanks be to God.
