COVID CHAOS --> Creativity |
Last year's HeARTS Mosaic

CHAOS - "Where Brilliant Dreams are Born" - An 'I Ching' image
|
In the ancient Chinese book of philosophy called the “I Ching,” there are symbols to represent every human emotion and condition, including chaos. Under this word and symbol is written, “Where brilliant dreams are born.”
Before the beginning of great brilliance, there must be chaos. The state of chaos represents a problem that must be solved, as it is very uncomfortable and troubling to remain in chaos. From Einstein to Bill Gates, famous problem-solvers have described their creative process in almost identical steps from having the problem, to searching for a solution/method/
formula/theory to reaching that eureka moment when they know what to do.
We all find ourselves in this state of chaos from time to time, and if we go through these steps, we can achieve a solution.
There are creative minds all throughout our community. The chaos known as COVID has severely limited our social connections. We can’t exchange hugs, but we are requesting your form of art to express yourself – whether that means love, hope, joy or longing. Whether you are interested in visual art, photography, fabrics, literature, or crafts, we would like to see some solutions. We have planned a whole week of possibilities for you to get involved. All ages are invited to contribute to and attend these virtual displays.
This year’s festival will include drawing and painting, photography, fabric art, poetry, heart trees, and a quiz on the history of Peachland. We will have a "Paper Hearts" display in the Visitor Centre, an online gallery on the Peachland Community Arts Council’s website, and draws for prizes in each category for adults as well as kids 12 and under.

Answers to the March 2021 peachland History Quiz
1)The jovial mayor of Peachland who had a lane named after him was George Waldo. He served a total of 19 years, making him the longest-serving mayor in our history. He was also a municipal Councillor from 1976-1979. During his leadership, much of the waterfront land along Beach Avenue was acquired for the town’s future use. Many newcomers to Peachland received a welcoming phone call from George Waldo.
2) The bell in the Peachland United Church was donated by the T. Eaton Company. Built in 1911 as the Methodist Church, the bell has been rung every Sunday since then. It is located on 4th Street.
3)The Peachland Freemasons were founded in 1913 so they celebrated their 100th anniversary in 2013. Their meeting hall is on the upper floor of their building on Beach Avenue with Cibo & Vines Ristorante below.
4) James Moore Robinson is credited with founding Peachland in 1898. He sold 10 acre plots of land to the early settlers and laid out the town. When the Post Office was opened that year, it needed an official name, so Robinson named it Peachland.
5)The Rotary History Mural was painted in 1999 by Robyn Lake, a member of the newly formed Peachland Community Arts Council. The mural, located at the south end of Beach Avenue, depicts the time of our First Nations people to the present. A number of citizens had their likeness painted in the mural, including a former mayor, his wife and their dog.
6) The Historic School on Beach Avenue was opened in 1908 after the student population outgrew the small one-roomed school located on Brandon Lane. The primary school closed in 2002. It now houses the Visitors Centre, the Art Gallery and the Boys and Girls Club.
7)The short train tracks were laid at the CN Wharf in 1937 in the area now know as Heritage Park. The tracks enabled the fruit to be loaded from the Walters Limited Packinghouse onto rail barges to connect with the railway at Kelowna.
8) Gold attracted the early settlers to the area. Many came from Manitoba. The first mine was recorded in 1887 and was known as the Camp Hewitt Mining and Development Company.
9) Peachland was founded in 1898. To commemorate the centenary, the Beach Avenue walkway was built.
10) Okanagan Lake froze in 1949-50. Many took advantage of the situation by skating or playing hockey on the frozen solid ice surface.
