Municipal taxes to increase 2.8 per cent Joanne layh Peachland View Peachland homeowners can expect a 2.8 per cent tax increase in their municipal property taxes this year, according to the 2013 financial plan bylaw that is likely to be adopted next week. Overall, the average single family dwelling will be assessed a 4.5 per cent tax increase, when taxes to other governments are taken into consideration, including Okanagan Regional Library, RDCO, Central Okanagan Regional Hospital District, School District 23, and the Municipal Finance Authority. The 2.8 per cent municipal tax increase includes an increase in general municipal property taxes in
addition to increases in policing costs. 2013 is the first full year the district will directly fund policing services. This year Peachland will pay a total of $606,655 in policing costs. Back in 2011 policing costs were $268,743. The dramatic increase in policing costs was a result of Peachland’s population exceeding 5,000 in the 2011 census. The population increase means that the district is now assessed policing costs at a much higher rate and is also obligated to fund other related expenses, including one RCMP support staff member and a portion of prisoner expenses. The increased cost of policing will result in an estimated $26.13 tax increase for the average single family dwelling.
According to the financial plan, residential taxes will total $3,618,536 (92.6 per cent of taxes) while commercial/business taxes will total $191,641 (4.9 per cent of taxes). For the second year in a row, Peachland council approved a reduction in the business tax multiplier to decrease the tax burden on business owners by increasing taxation to utilities. The business tax rate multiplier deceased from 1.95 to 1.9 in 2013. In 2012 it decreased from 2.0 to 1.95. As a result, the utility tax multiplier has increased, meaning reduced business taxes have no impact on the residential tax assessment. This year the responsibility for transit services was transferred from the
regional district to Peachland, resulting in decreased taxes to the RDCO and increased taxes to the District of Peachland. The cost of transit services is estimated to be $120,000, which includes $8,000 for increased transit service to be implemented later this year. Capital expenditures projects for 2013 total $1,571,390. The proposed budget, which received three readings at this week’s council meeting, also included the following key capital expenditures: • Road rehabilitations program (paving/repaving, crack sealing, and repairing) - $141,200; • Digital driver feedback sign (subject to funding from ICBC) - $10,000; • Computer aided dispatch (for fire department)
Thanks to all who came out to the 20th Annual Business Expo and congratulations to all our door prize winners!

Dan Ashton, Liberal candidate What do you think needs to be done to bring more jobs to the area? The best thing you can do is have a strong economy and that’s what this party is for is a strong economy. That’s what brings the jobs … my attitude is, the stronger the economy is, the better it is for everyone. In Peachland, like ourselves in Penticton and in Summerland, we are quite tourist oriented. We have these peaks and lulls and being in retail I’ve lived with
that my whole life … You don’t have a lot of industrial land here, you don’t have a lot of commercial area, you’re refined with a commercial strip. You just do what you can do to make sure the business blossoms and then hopefully you can infill with that themselves. As they get busier you require more people. What do you think the province can do to help Peachland address issues with Highway 97
coming through town? My understanding is it would be between Peachland and the province on what direction they want to take. I had heard that there was a corridor that was tentatively being held above Peachland to direct the traffic around it coming from Penticton. Were that to happen it would be a detriment. It’s one thing to be a destination and Peachland is becoming more and more of a destination. Your waterfront area along here

is spectacular as we’re very fortunateBC to beValong the OTES lake. But when you pull that traffic out of the area within the close proximity, it’s difficult for communities. The province is going to have to work with Peachland for this highway. I know they want to fourlane it and reduce some of that constriction … I think the province has shown that with the new traffic signals over here that they do want to get involved in the community and make sure that the community is able to divert some of that traffic off and it’s been spectacular since that’s been put into place because it gives you that point of access into Peachland not only in your south corridor but in your north corridor to bring people down to your waterfront and down to the business area … I don’t think a bypass is in anybody’s interest. I saw what happened in Penticton. Highway 3 used to come right through the downtown corridor of Penticton and when the bypass went into Penticton and being a retailer from there and having family businesses, because we had more than one on Main Street, right away there was a substantial drop in traffic. Traffic is customers. Traffic is people. Traffic is people being able to come into your community … In my opinion, the highway should stay where it’s at. I think it should be worked through with the province and you need the support of the both the province and the citizens to make sure it’s going to work because it is a twoway street, right? You can’t have it both ways.

She’s able to live on her own but at some point in time when she’s not she doesn’t want to go to another community. She wants to be in the community she lived in and has her friends in. I think it’s very important. My understanding is we’re very close to a decision from the province … I’ve heard lock, stock and barrel how important it is to Peachland and I’ve said that my number one priority for Peachland is to try and make sure that

Richard Cannings, NDP candidate What do you think needs to be done to bring more jobs to the area? I think there are two things. One is there is a real skills shortage in British Columbia and I hear from industry and other businesses … they have the jobs but the people applying for them just aren’t qualified. What the NDP proposes is a major investment in people who are looking for jobs, whether they are young people or people who are changing jobs. We’ll have a $100 million grant program to help people get the training they need and that I think would go some way in filling those jobs so we don’t have to bring in foreign workers. The other thing I think to mention anywhere in the Okanagan is what we really have here that nobody else has to our extent is lifestyle. We really own lifestyle and we should be working on attracting businesses and industries to the Okanagan based on that. There are a lot of industries out there that can be anywhere – I.T. companies, obviously, and we just need to let them know we’re here and whatever they need in terms of infrastructure we need to build on that … We need to figure out what is stopping industries from coming here and fix that. There is a great program called Accelerate Okanagan that is based in Kelowna and also has people working on it in Penticton that are really trying to get young entrepreneurs excited about moving here … I
think it will make a big difference. What do you think the province can do to help Peachland address issues with Highway 97 coming through town? I know MOT has various plans that they’ve been working on for 10, 20 years for bypasses going on either sides of the lake. I’m not aware of the current state of those plans … I know when I lived in Naramata they came to Naramata and said, “How would you like Highway 97 to go through Naramata?” and people didn’t want that there. What do you think needs to be done to move affordable seniors housing initiatives to fruition in Peachland? The NDP take a serious view of senior’s residences in general, both in terms of the need for new ones and the management of the ones we do have … 20 years ago affordable seniors housing tended to be done by local service clubs and that sort of thing and that’s changed. There are a lot more for profit ones and some of them have had some difficulties so we want to see better regulation of those facilities but we’d also like to facilitate in any way the construction of new ones … You have seniors in these small communities. They may have lived there all their life and they don’t want to go to Kelowna or Penticton because that’s the only place to go. They’d rather stay in

their own community and I think it’s important that we try to work toward that. What can the province do to keep business strong in B.C.? The main difference between the Liberals and the NDP would be that we want to strengthen the economy from the bottom up. We want to invest in people so they have skills, apprenticeships, post-secondary education. 80 per cent of the jobs that are going to be created in British Columbia over the next decade will require that sort of level of education and skills training and the Liberals have been cutting back in those areas. We want to invest more in those areas to ensure that we have the people with the skills that businesses need. What sort of things do you think could be done provincially to further support the local arts community in a sustainable way? There is funding for the arts and the NDP believes that a real vibrant arts community is important in any community. It’s important not just for the local residents, but also attracting others. It’s part of that whole lifestyle mix. One of the things that people look at when they’re looking to move or relocate, if they have the choice of building their business anywhere, is the local arts community, whether it means having See RICHARD CANNINGS on page 5

Candidates asked for hwy. bypass support Open letter to candidates running for election to the BC Legislature: Firstly we congratulate you for running for public office. As a candidate, the Highway 97 Task Force Society has a question for you regarding your position about the four-lane expansion of Highway 97 through our around Peachland. The Highway 97 Task Force Society is a registered society with over 500 members. This exceeds 25 per cent of the voting age population of Peachland. Our concern is the planned widening of Highway 97 through Peachland. Such a widening of the highway through our small town would have devastating consequences to the small urban fabric of Peachland. The town council of Peachland is on record that a bypass is the preferred option, not the widening of the existing roadway through town. After considerable study and consultation with the stakeholders, the task force prepared a comprehensive 36-page document, based on materials given to our members by the office of highway planning in Kamloops, of
– “shining brightly” from the Latin “refulgere”
the then Ministry of Transportation. The study deals with the criteria that the now Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure must use in evaluating a number of options for highway development or expansion. Such a series of options could simply deal with variations to the planned widening of Highway 97 through Peachland. The task force believes that the route for a bypass should be located above Peachland in the general area shown on plans developed by engineers, who are members of the society. The task force agrees with district council that a route above the town must be one of the options considered by the ministry when it develops plan options for the four-laning of Highway 97 between Greata Ranch and the connector (Highway 97C). If you are elected, what will you do to ensure that a bypass option around Peachland is given a full and proper study equal to those of the other required options that will be developed by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure?

Accusing MP is a part of the problem Re: Scott Brison M.P. letter of April 12, “Despite his claims, Albas is raising your taxes”. I made my living in various countries and never, ever have I experienced a government that did not raise taxes. Mr. Brison is paid by the taxpaying people in Canada. I assume that his salary and pension are covered by a COLA, (Cost
of Living Adjustment, meaning that if inflation has eaten away two or three per cent of his income the COLA will make it up.) That is not a raise. A raise, if any, is in addition to the COLA. Mr. Brison is part of the problem because his COLA is covered by raising taxes. Bert Put, Peachland
Please think about who you’re electing With the provincial election just weeks away, many voters are asking themselves, does it really matter who we elect? It seems no matter who is elected, its just more of the same. I question many of the candidates running. Do they really want to make a difference or just a difference in their lives? The gravy train is a tempting ride for those who truly don’t care about the people of British Columbia. Some candidates will say and promise anything for that ride. On a recent TV spot, our Premier Christy Clark is asking us to vote for her
“again”. The people of B.C. didn’t vote her in as premier the first time. It was the B.C. Liberal Party who voted her as their new leader and only by a slim margin, which unfortunately gave her the premier’s title. She talks about the 90s (NDP government) when the government was big and bloated and failed to control spending. However, under her watch the premier’s office staff has never been bigger and our deficit has grown every year under her guidance. Please everyone, get out and vote on election day and really think about who you might be electing! Derek Bunce, Peachland

Climate Action Charter. In doing so, the signatories indicated that they shared with the province an understanding that: • A scientific consensus has developed that the release into the atmosphere of human caused greenhouse gases (GHG’s), including carbon dioxide, methane and other GHG emissions, is affecting the Earth’s climate; • The evidence of global warming is unequivocal and the effects of climate change are evident across
British Columbia; • Reducing GHG emissions will generate environmental and health benefits for individuals, families, and communities; • Climate change and reducing GHG emissions are issues of importance to British Columbians; • Governments urgently need to implement effective measures to reduce GHG emissions and anticipate and prepare for climate change impacts; • Protecting the environment can be done in ways that promote economic prosperity; and • It is important to take action and to work together to share best practices, to reduce GHG emissions and address the impacts of climate change.

Charter recognizes that municipalities are critical partners in the effort to reduce GHG emissions because of their role in land use planning, their ability to promote green building design, invest in sustainable transit and transportation options, adopt appropriate technology for infrastructure development, manage waste responsibly, promote energy reduction strategies and in some cases invest in clean energy generation. The District of Peachland can point to many initiatives that it has undertaken in pursuit of its GHG reduction goals including an annual energy audit to track energy consumption and the GHG emissions generated by municipal buildings and fleet; policies to promote green buildings in future develop-
ments; and a Community Energy and Emissions Plan (CEEP) setting out a long term strategy. Of particular interest to many readers will be the “Peachland Renewable Energy Opportunities Study” presented to council this week at the Committee of the Whole meeting. Undertaken by energy consultants Morrison Hershfield in collaboration with JDQ Engineering and the Community Energy Association, this remarkable report analyzes the viability of different approaches for generation of renewable energy in Peachland assessing for each approach the technological viability, the financial viability, and the environmental impact.

Because the viability of these technologies is affected by the scale of application, the report presents its analysis for different scenarios. This allows, for example, a comparison between geothermal energy production for a cluster of buildings compared to its viability for a single family home. Project viability for any scenario depends on the data used and the assumptions being made. This is particularly true in the case of run of the river hydro power generation, accounting for yet to be explored differences between the current report and an earlier study showing a more optimistic outlook for this technology.

is prospering to the best of your ability, that makes a huge difference. That’s what this government is. It’s a free enterprise government. What sort of things do you think could be done provincially to further support the local arts community in a sustainable way? When you have those people involved in your community it makes the quality of life a lot better. Practicality again says there is only so much you can do, but when you work together, the arts community and the province, you can do a lot more things. Unfortunately there is so much need out there for financial resources. If everybody pulls together it’s a little easier if you do it in conjunction. I was brought up in a family where my dad or my mom didn’t just give me everything. They helped to the best of their ability but they put the onus on my-
self to do it … if you work together you can make a difference.
How do you envision provincial investment in providing sustainable funding for recreation facility infrastructure renewal? Here’s what we did in Penticton. We had a community centre that was older, that was wearing out, that had to be refurbished. We worked together, both provincially and federally, to get those tax dollars … By working with my counterparts federally, which was Stock at the time, provincially, Bill Barisoff, the City of Penticton and a good council that realized the value of a dollar, we put together a phenomenal centre that is getting accolades everywhere … The economy has turned and I bring it forward that if you do not have a strong economy you do not have those cash resources.
What can the province do to support communities in achieving the targets of the Climate Action Charter? Transit is going to be an integral part of the valley in the future. One doesn’t need to look too much farther than what’s taking place in Vancouver now and the trials and tribulations that they’re going through. We are the second fastest growing area in the province and it is something we’re going to have to look after. When you start talking about climate action and communities’ abilities to reduce their carbon footprint, it is a difficult process … under climate action, we’re going to have to work together otherwise we’re not going to obtain it. We’ve all see the difficulties that the province has faced with this up to this point.
In Penticton we were short sports fields so we went to the school district and we came up with a joint program where the City of Penticton would advance funds and we did improvements on the fields so the community could utilize the school facilities on an ongoing basis without interfering with the kids during class hours, but on evenings and weekends. The municipality actually
BC VOTES put money towards the school board to do that. What sets your platform apart from the other candidates?

of the RDOS but as a chair and also as a councillor and the mayor of Penticton. Penticton was booming. Our demands for revenue ourselves was being met by development. When that development stopped there had to be some hard decisions and I’m willing to make those hard decisions … one of the key parts of my platform is the ability to get things done.

coffee shops that have good live music or whether it means interesting art galleries or anything of that sort. I think we realize it is a very important part of society but it also has a real impact on local businesses. As for concrete measures that the NDP would bring in, I can’t say, but we’re a friend of the arts, let’s put it that way. How do you envision provincial investment in providing sustainable funding for recreation facility infrastructure renewal? I can say we will likely have funding for building renovations that are geared to saving energy, for instance. We’re going to take the carbon tax money that you and I pay at the gas pumps that right now literally goes to helping corporations with their corporate income tax because when the carbon tax was brought in, the Liberals made it revenue neutral by lowering the corporate income tax. Both the Liberals and the NDP are now proposing to bump the corporate income tax back up and we’re going to use that money that that frees up to fund projects, whether it’s retrofitting old buildings or old houses or providing better transit for people – things that would reduce our carbon footprint.
What can the province do to support communities in achieving the targets of the Climate Action Charter? There are hundreds of millions of dollars each year that we pay into the carbon tax. We will now be able to give grants to groups or agencies or individuals who are trying working toward that. Up until now the government had a scheme that was taking money away from hospitals and schools and things like that. To make them carbon neutral, they had to buy carbon credits from industry, which I don’t think made much sense. They should have used the carbon tax to do good things and that’s what we propose to do. How can we maximize the use of public buildings, such as schools, for community access? A lot of these things can be solved by sitting down and people pestering politicians like myself to do things. I’d be happy to work on files like that if it meant coming up with agreements between school districts and communities. What sets your platform apart from the other candidates? The motto of our campaign is “change for the better – one practical step at a time” and we’re setting out all these practical
steps. We’re not going to be spending billions and billions of dollars of new tax money to just throw money at stuff. We have very good ideas, very targeted, pragmatic spending and each one is designed to help the economy. Right now we’re running against a Liberal government that has, I think, really run out of practical ideas. They’re really hanging their whole economic plan on liquefied natural gas, which, we’re for liquefied natural gas as well, but we’re talking 15, 20 years in the future. We need something to help us right now. Sure we’ll do what we can with natural gas, get it to markets and see what that will do to the B.C. economy, but I think it’s foolish to build your whole platform on some dream that’s decades in the future. The reason we had such a big deficit this year in British Columbia is because they totally miscalculated what natural gas revenues they were going to bring in this year. If they can’t figure out what’s going to happen next year with natural gas, how can they tell people that the future will be rosy in 20 years because we’re going to sell natural gas for this price and it will cost us this much to develop it? Yes, let’s move in that direction but I think it is better to have practical, pragmatic steps and that’s what we’re doing.

Book, movie and music It’s not too early to prepare for the Rose Show donations needed for Phyllis Papineau 4th Street Place to the other useful tips. Who lar to last year. However, Special to the Peachland View banquet room in the would have thought that this year there will be a library fundraiser Peachland Commu- a Q-tip is a useful tool in trophy for the best mini Sandra Halme
Special to the Peachland View It’s that time of year again when we open the windows to the fresh air and begin cleaning out the winter months of accumulations. With this in mind, the Friends of the Peachland Library, book loving volunteers who fundraise to support activities either partially funded or falling outside regular funding sources, such as the children’s summer reading program, are reminding people that they are gladly accepting most new and previously enjoyed books, movies, music and themed magazines in good condition. These donations will be used for the friends’ annual book sale, with all proceeds supporting library activities. People can bring their donations to the library or call Sandra at 250767-9076 if they have any questions. The friends remind people that we cannot accept educational texts over two years old, any
computer or self help books, encyclopedias, National Geographic and other general interest magazines. We strongly encourage people to recycle these items. In other friends’ news, we are a conducting a raffle with a quilt generously donated by the Peachland Quilters and Needlecrafters. The draw will take place at the Peachland Library on Saturday, June 29 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $2 and are available at the library as well as other locations including the farmer’s markets in Peachland, Penticton and Kelowna.
As the garden centres are featuring new varieties of roses, this might be a good time to replace or add to your landscaping plans. There are even some new “thornless” varieties, which makes pruning less painful. Some of the heritage varieties are beautifully scented. Rose plants vary in size from compact, miniature roses to climbers that can reach seven metres in height. It is not too early to start planning for the Annual Peachland Rose Show which will be taking place on Saturday, June 22. This year the venue will move from
nity Centre. The show is fortunate to once again welcome international rose show judges Malcolm and Danielle Scott. In addition, a master gardener will be on hand to answer any of your gardening questions. Also, mark your calendars for Thursday, May 16 at 7 p.m. in the Peachland Little Schoolhouse. At this time Malcolm and Danielle Scott will be giving tips on how to display roses and many
exhibiting roses? The Rose Show catalogue will be available in May and will be simi-
rose, which will be donated by show sponsors, the Sowers and Growers Garden Club.

California quail
The California quail is a small ground loving bird preferring to run rather than fly. It is the state bird of California. These birds have an interesting curved crest, made of six feathers, that droops forward. They are very sociable birds that gather in small flocks known as “coveys”. One of their daily communal activities is a dust bath. A group of quail will select an area where the ground has been newly turned or is soft, and using their underbellies, will burrow downward into the soil about one or two inches. They then wriggle about in the indentations they have
created, flapping their wings and ruffling their feathers, causing dust to rise in the air. Their diet consists mainly of seeds and leaves, but they do also eat berries and insects. When they visit a bird feeder during breeding season the male usually stands guard while the female
feeds. Although the female may hatch 12 -16 eggs, in urban areas less than half the young survive. Once hatched families group together into ‘communal broods,’ which will include at least two females, multiple males and many offspring. Marion Hall

We hope to have great weather this weekend and hope to have an awesome turnout to kick off the new season!
If you band or braid your horse’s mane the night before a show, you may want to use a sleezy (or slinky). A sleezy is a lycra fourway stretch hood to keep a finished mane clean and in place overnight. A sleezy is a very good investment after the tedious, time-consuming core of banding/braiding! A nylon sheet is also recommended to keep your horse clean and shavings free. Nylon will also polish and shine the coat, without breaking the hairs.

“Hope for Ashton” Benefit and Talent Night Sunday, May 5 • 6.30 pm
Five year old Ashton Kintzinger has been diagnosed with Epilepsy and a rare Serine deficiency. Canadian doctors have prescribed various medications for both conditions. While helpful for a period of time, these medications don’t seem to work for long and doctors are running out of options. In the meantime, Ashton is rapidly losing ground physically and mentally as he struggles with side effects from his medical conditions and treatments. There is specialized testing and promising treatment available for Ashton in Switzerland that is not available in Canada. A total of $18,000 needs to be raised in order to send Ashton, with his mother, to the Swiss clinic. The family has raised $9000 on their own. “Hope for Ashton” is a church and community fundraiser to help Ashton and his family raise the other $9000. Talent includes Alexandra Babbel, the Grace Choir, and members of Grace Lutheran congregation. Coffee, tea, and desserts will be served.

Tips on banding and braiding:
Banding (Western) and braiding (English) are techniques used to make your horse’s mane lie flat and close to the neck (even on a windy day) to give the illusion of a slimmer neck. If your horse has a thick mane, it may take some continuous thinning beforehand to make banding/braiding easier. The length of the finished mane is usually between three to four inches and will comprise of about 50 half-inch sections neatly banded with small banding elastics (Western) or braided and often sewn under with wool (English). It takes a little practice to do a nice job, but you will get the hang of it. To tighten the bands, split the banded section and pull the mane hairs outwards to slide the elastic up close to the top, staying as close as possible to the neck. Trim to tidy when finished.

faith
Boston – an affirmation of life Robin Graves St. Margaret’s Anglican Church Special to the Peachland View Scarcely four months ago I began my Christmas letter to members of St. Margaret’s with the following: “A grey vista before me with clouds low in the sky and lake water forbidding, Christmas music is playing quietly in the background with hot coffee at hand to hold the winter chill at bay. A morning at home after a number of days out and about, a reminder of the sanctuary that home can offer, the warmth and comfort, the security and peace. In a distant room the sound of a television newscast—more coverage of the horrific events in Newtown, Connecticut and their aftermath—a reminder of how life can turn in an instant, sanctuary destroyed, warmth and comfort turned cold, security and peace torn asunder.” Today I sit at the same desk, sunlit vista before me, the emerging green of spring framed by a window rather in need of cleaning, immersed in the promise of the summer months to come. While the Christmas music has been set aside, the hot coffee remains close at hand, a reminder of daily rituals that say “home”. In a distant room the sound of a television newscast – more coverage of the horrific events in Boston and their aftermath – a further reminder of how life can turn in an instant. Yesterday – Newtown; today – Boston; and tomorrow – we do not know. For so many of us these events are hard to fathom and harder yet to comprehend. How to make sense of what has happened? How to respond? For myself, and perhaps for others, it is often tempting to simply disengage. Indeed, there are moments when I have heard more than enough and have turned the television off. I have not wanted to hear more, have not been able to hear anything more. There have also been moments when I have wrapped myself in cynicism, a false comfort of believing ‘twas ever thus in the big bad world, and that’s the way things are. And there have been moments too when I have been tempted to surren-
der to a profound sense of helplessness, to the suggestion that in the face of such events there is really nothing that I can do. The temptation to disengage is real. And yet, I would suggest, it is one that must be resisted. The recent events in Boston summon us once again to engagement, a call not to retreat but to move forward. In doing so we will recognize that there are two stories that emerge from these days that are equally true. The first is a story of evil and death. It is a story of two brothers, of bombs and bullets and blood that has been spilled. It is a story of life that has been taken, innocence that has been lost and promise now empty. The second is a story of goodness and fullness of life. It is a story of first responders and citizens, of loved ones and strangers, of the many who ran into the heart of chaos
and danger that life might be saved. It is a story of bravery and sacrifice, of humility and compassion, of determination and resolve. It is also a story of untold gestures of hospitality and the remarkable generosity of the human heart in the face of our deepest needs. In moving forward we will recognize that we, like those in Boston, are called to choose the story we shall embrace. For many the choice will be clear. Those who share in the Christian traditions affirm the Easter calling to choose life. Here we align ourselves with stories of goodness and all that is life-giving. Indeed, we are to bring such stories to life in our own lives, for this is at the heart of the commandments to love God, neighbour and self. As these words have been put to paper, a funeral has been held, the life of Krystle Campbell has been celebrated and
a moment of silence has been observed. The sunlight streaming across my desk and the greening of spring still remain
– reminders of the call to move forward. How shall we respond? Together, raising up goodness and the fullness of
life, that we might share with one another the hope of true peace and the promise of new life for all.
