AN IMPROMPTU TRIBUTE to the young people who lost their lives in last Thursday’s accident.

Joanne Layh Editor, Peachland View A 20-year-old Peachland man and a 17-year-old West Kelowna girl are dead and two more people are injured following a tragic accident that occurred on the 5500 block of Princeton Avenue last Thursday.

Since news of the tragedy became known, friends and loved ones have been gathering at the site of the accident to contribute flowers, candles, and messages of sorrow at a tribute to Micheal Grant Baxter and Delanie Marie Smith, the young people who lost their lives as a result of the single-vehicle rollover.

happy halloween from the “ghouls” at Johnston Meier Insurance!

The tragic accident happened on October 18 shortly before 11 p.m.

Baxter, the driver of the Chevrolet pickup truck, was travelling north on Princeton Avenue when he lost control of the vehicle and rolled several times. The incident took place just outside the district on the gravel stretch of Princeton.

Both Baxter and Smith were pronounced deceased at the scene, while the other two passengers, a 19-year-old Peachland man and 16-year-old West Kelowna girl, both were rushed to Kelowna General Hospital with serious and potentially life threatening injuries.

RCMP Cst. Kris Clark says the cause of the accident is still unknown.

Council rescinds third reading for TNI development Joanne Layh Editor, Peachland View Last Tuesday it seemed like one step back and two steps forward for the proposed Beach Avenue TNI development.

At the committee of the whole meeting Peachland council followed the recommendation by staff to rescind third reading for the proposed TNI building due to the fact that the public hearing held earlier this summer had been compromised.

“It’s clear that since that public hearing a lot of information has come forward both openly to the public and to council members,” director of planning and development services Dave Smith said. “There are matters of procedural fairness and the proper way of dealing with issues that have to be followed. From the information that’s come forward it’s clear that the public hearing has been compromised and we really don’t have a choice here but to go back to public hearing.”

What this means is an-

other public hearing will need to be held before the project can return to third reading and progress to adoption, supposing that is still something TNI developer Steve Allison would want, and some remarks made during the meeting indicated he would. As well, it means the results of a peer review panel appointed by the mayor can now be released to council and the public. Previously the feedback from the peer review panel was held back since it could be construed as new information, which is not legally permitted after third reading.

While council voted unanimously to rescind third reading, at the committee of the whole meeting held earlier in the day, they also discussed the possibility of rescinding first and second reading. A motion was put forward and all members of council, including the one who made the motion, voted to defeat it, though one councillor in particular had seemed to be leaning in the opposite direction.

“It’s obvious in my mind anyway that this project is not going to proceed on the basis of what was presented in first and second readings or at the public hearing,” Councillor Kerbes said. “Certainly if we rescind third reading we should also do something about the parking covenant. I think we should wipe the whole thing off the map and start from square one.”

That sentiment was not shared by Councillor Shierbeck, who had a stunning statement to

make with regard to developer Steve Allison’s possible willingness to return to the table.

“I’d like to mention that the developer is still very interested in proceeding,” Councillor Schierbeck told his committee of the whole colleagues. “He has talked to me about this. Although the one premises is tied up for a period of one year [in a lease agreement with tenants], he is still very much interested in proceeding. I think if we revoke anything other than third reading we

could jeopardize some possibility of something happening in the future.”

Councillor Moberg agreed with his council colleague stating, “I think that in the situation we’re in for us to take first and second reading and do away with it would be like knocking on his [Steve Allison’s] door and saying, ‘Get out of town.’ I don’t think we’re in the position that we want to do that right now.”

Mayor Fielding also expressed a similar sentiment. “I think it would be

construed as an aggressive act on our part to do that and I don’t think that’s what we want to signal at all, particularly if Councillor Schierbeck is correct in his understanding that there is a desire to move forward so I would not support rescinding this [first and second reading],” Fielding said.

Smith confirmed the developer indicated he would not be in favour of having first and second reading rescinded, suggesting the TNI development could very well still proceed.

Young people taken too soon Continued from page 2

“Road conditions certainly played a part and from my understanding having cattle on the road may also have played a part,” Cst. Kris Clark told The View. “They may have swerved to miss cattle or wildlife, which could have explained it. When you overcorrect especially on a washboard in a vehicle like that with the centre of gravity higher than normal it will just roll. Those are certainly factors but the actual cause hasn’t

been determined yet.”

Cst. Clark says it appears none of the occupants were wearing seat belts.

“They were all either fully or partially ejected,” Cst. Clark said.

Initially the injured man was said to be in serious to critical condition but has since been has been released from hospital.

“From my understanding the injured girl is still in hospital,” Cst. Clark said, adding the teen is still in serious condition.

Coroner Barb McLintock says

the BC Coroners Service and RCMP will continue to investigate these deaths.

Last week’s accident was unfortunately not the first tragedy to hit the Westside circle of friends.

As fate would have it, Baxter had been the boyfriend of Ashlee Hyatt, the West Kelowna teen who was fatally stabbed at a house party in Peachland in June 2010.

The trial for a West Kelowna girl charged with Hyatt’s murder began just days before the car accident.

The overwhelming amount of support and donations were graciously received and it is with great appreciation that the support you have shown doubles with how proud the members feel in protecting our Community.

NEWS

Councillors request more info from committee Joanne Layh Editor, Peachland View What should have been a routine status update by primary school renovation project manager Rob Campbell this week transformed into a lengthy council debate about the amount of detail and the regularity that council committees report back to council.

Councillor Eric Hall, who is also a member of the primary school implementation committee, sparked the debate by suggesting some information about the project is flowing too slowly to council because the implementation committee doesn’t meet often enough.

“I do have some concerns. Primarily it is the issue with this extension of the building, which may be necessary. My main issue with it is it never came to the meetings of the primary school implementation committee earlier in the year so when I saw the floor plan I was quite surprised.

That is information I would have preferred to come to council,” Coun.

Hall said.

Those remarks were disputed by Mayor Fielding, who said it had been discussed within the committee for quite some time and perhaps might have predated Hall’s role on council. Chief administrative officer Elsie Lemke also said the addition was in previous plans and had been contingent on receiving grant funding.

“A lot of this work is processed through the

primary school implementation committee.

This isn’t just a question of Rob doing what he thinks; it’s all being reviewed through the committee process,” Mayor Fielding said.

“The other issue I have is with the usage of the building,” Coun. Hall went on to say before questioning the intended tenancy of the Boys and Girls Club at the rear of the building. While the anchor tenants and how they would use the building were decisions made some time ago by the previous council, Coun. Hall suggested it be reopened for debate.

“The issues you’re raising have a long history to them and they’ve all been dealt with and this is why we’re at the stage that we’re at. We’re poised to complete a building that the two anchor tenants will move into on understandings that were developed several months if not years ago. I’m surprised that you’re raising this point, frankly,” Mayor Fielding responded.

While councillors Kerbes and Moberg did not voice objection to the proposed tenants, they did agree with Hall that more information from the various committees would be helpful.

“We hear nothing back [from committees of council] until we’re in a situation like this where there is a whole bunch of stuff committed,” Coun.

Moberg said. “Everybody’s gasping for more information.”

The mayor said that

BRAND NEW WINDOWS arrived at the primary school building last Tuesday, delivered by Keith Finsterald and Jim Kane (shown left to right). Project manager Rob Campbell says by Christmas residents will be able to see a significant difference to the outside of the building.

Joanne Layh photo while collectively more effort could be made by the members of the various committees to flow information, in this instance the committee is doing exactly what it ought to do and that is to implement the policy already approved by council.

“Council has made, with respect to the primary school, a clear commitment as to how the building will be. We went through a whole process with that and council approved it.

What we’ve been doing ever since we got the grant is really straight implementation of policy council has approved so

there hasn’t really been a great deal to report,” the mayor said. “If we understood that is the implementation stage, it’s

like continuing reports on implementing a new sewer system, to my mind.

I think that’s one of the reasons we haven’t been

coming back to council.”

The primary school implementation committee is just one of several committees of council.

Peachland Views TM will go ahead as planned

Reboot?

Letters continued on Page 5

Joanne Layh Editor, Peachland View

P

eachland council’s decision this week to rescind third reading of the zoning bylaw for the proposed TNI development might sound like a step backward for downtown revitalization, but at this stage it might be the only way to get the project back on track again.

Earlier this year, TNI president Steve Allison brought forth a proposal to build a four-storey mixed use building on Beach Avenue where the Edgewater Inn and Aegean Grill buildings are located. The project made it to third reading but needless to say, things went off the rails and there are several perspectives about how and why that happened, none of which really matter much now.

Was Steve Allison having second thoughts about the economics of the project and looking for a reason to back out? Or was a $13,000 obligatory amenities fund contribution he apparently wasn’t told about the last straw in a series of events that turned him off of wanting to expend any more effort and money into the project for the time being?

Either way, rescinding third reading now is in some ways a victory for everyone. On the one hand, while it is not an apology for how things went sideways, TNI developer Steve Allison can take some satisfaction in hearing the mayor and district staff contend publicly that yes, additional information was received after third reading, even thought it should not have been. That admission might possibly go some ways to helping bring him back to the table.

On the other hand, Allison’s opposers will also get one thing they’ve been wanting all along and that’s more opportunity for public input, since there will need to be another public hearing if this moves ahead again. It also means they’ll now be able to learn the results of the peer review panel.

This summer the mayor appointed a peer review panel to provide their opinions about the form and character of the building, which were then compiled into a report by district staff but never released to council or the public because it would be construed as new information – something that isn’t legally allowed after third reading. With third reading now rescinded, that information can be released along with any other information before the zoning bylaw goes back to a public hearing – that’s if it goes back to a public hearing.

For Peachland council, this reboot, if you will, can be viewed as an opportunity to fulfill their priority of moving downtown revitalization forward.

This week they sent the message that they are still in support of the development if Allison is ready.

I have worked at the TM (formerly Trepanier Manor, now Tabletop Mountain Resort) development over the past years and remain in good standing with the partners. I feel that I must respond to the letter from Mr. Laux.

1. There are many RCMP files regarding breakins and other vandalism at TM. 2. The RCMP continues to actively investigate cyber attacks on TM and theft resulting from those attacks, as well as other acts of vandalism including moving/removal of property pins and stealing a security camera.

3. A new security system is in place and videos are available for the RCMP. 4. The partners have chosen to let the RCMP do

the investigations needed. It has been a long process that is proceeding. In the meantime the owners of the TM development will not engage in any activity that will compromise the investigations or future legal action.

Peachland has seen projects come and go, and stall completely. This one is staying and proceeding. The partners have got through the worst of four years of the economy and now have enthusiastic investors. At times I think the partners have too much patience, perseverance and faith in Karma. However they have made it very clear to me take the high road and be patient; the surrounding neighbors, the district, and the RCMP all know what is going on.

Editor’s Note: Because this matter is presently the subject of an RCMP investigation the Peachland View will not run any further letters about this matter until the status of the investigation changes.

This Christmas, support your local businesses!

What does Christmas mean to you? Many of us get lost in overindulgence and the commercialism.

I remember a day when Christmas was more about togetherness and family. As of late, Christmas has become (for some) about stuffing as many brightly coloured, carefully wrapped gifts under the tree as possible. So many of these gifts will be made by children in factories overseas. They will be discarded after only a few months of use and soon be forgotten about. Instead of over-indulging, overspending and increasing your carbon footprint this year, why not try to support some of our fabulous local businesses?

We have so many great businesses in Peachland and the surrounding area that there is no need to blow your Christmas budget on (dare I say) poorly made junk from a big box store. Here are a few ideas that came to mind: 1. A spa gift card. This is truly one of my favourite gifts. Who doesn’t love a day at the spa?

There are a handful of fabulous spas in Peachland.

2. A gym membership. Admittedly, this can be a dangerous gift for men to buy their wives, but if you frame it as a gift of health and time spent together, you might avoid a black eye. (If you are buying this one men, you are going to have to buy a membership for yourself as well).

3. Home improvement. There are several contractors right here in Peachland that can spruce up your home whether it be replacing your roof or beautifying your yard.

4. Massage therapy. Need I say more?

5.

Even though the farmer’s market is done for the season, you can still find many local designers that sell their product from various stores around the Okanagan.

6. Handmade furniture. Do you remember how well furniture used to be made before the days of particle board? Local furniture makers do! They can craft you a beautiful piece of furniture that is made using local wood and local resources.

7. Pay for a cleaning service for the year.

8.

Spruce up your mealtimes and do something fun together by taking a cooking class or skiing lessons.

Christmas gifts that support our local economy are a great choice to keep the spirit of Christmas alive. Instead of driving yourself into debt by spoiling your loved ones, choose fewer, more meaningful gifts that won’t be discarded or forgotten about before you’ve taken down the Christmas lights.

Odina Skovgaard, Peachland

We pay for government ads

BC makes strides in e-textbooks, eradication of poverty

For Canadians the return of new primetime TV this fall means more than new episodes of the Big Bang Theory and Amazing Race. It also means being treated to an exhaustive barrage of taxpayer-funded ads from the Government of Canada.

That’s not to say the government only advertises on TV, far from it.

But high cost advertising space on these shows seem to be favourite ad spots for MP Dan Albas and the Conservatives.

Hello PEACHLAND! Okay, so after the last article I hope everyone knows where my website is?

Not hard to find or remember: www. peachlandchiropractic.ca (okay, it might be hard to remember the .ca but you can do it). Are you all smarter regarding our headaches? Are you Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde? You get it, you are a headache master now, and you know where to come if you have one, or if you want to not have your next one. Dr. Spencer Devenney and Peachland Chiropractic on Beach Ave. right on the lake inside Serendipity Spa. What’s next? Several Peachlandites came in to the office this week who had different problems, but potentially one cause. Have you heard the song “the hip bone is connected to the leg bone” before? Turns out there are several schools of thought that say that not only is our skeleton (bones) all connected but there is a continuous connection of soft tissue that runs from our toes to our head.

What does that mean?

It means the common source of many of my patients’ problems are their feet. I know what you’re thinking, the Chiropractor is not a podiatrist so why is he talking about feet? It turns out that if you have a Ferrari with no tires you aren’t going to go too far. If we consider your spine a Ferrari then your tires are your feet.

It turns out that when a foot functions incorrectly it can have an effect up the chain (okay, so “chain”, I know you’re thinking that this Chiropractor is having an identity crisis... I am not a mechanic [well, not in the metal chain sense]. But I am a mechanic, of sorts, for your body.)

So when I talk about “up the chain” I mean that the foot bone is connected to the shin bone and so forth “up the chain”.

Orthotic therapy has been shown to be so helpful with the “common” problems that I don’t even think about it anymore.

Patients have had low back pain, hip pain, and even leg pain like sciatica

go away simply by correcting how their feet function. I have even had patients whose headaches have gone away after adding orthotics to their treatment program.

And I haven’t even mentioned the actual foot problems that are corrected with orthotics. Plantar Fasciitis, ankle sprains, numb toes, and diabetic feet have all been benefited by custom orthotics.

Book your appointment for a Gait Analysis and we will see if your feet need a little help, the computerized scanner is GREAT, the scan is painless and even better the gait assessment is free. If we decide that orthotic therapy would benefit you, most extended medical plans will cover a portion or all of the cost. Even if you don’t have coverage, come in anyway, and if you need orthotics we will work something out so that money doesn’t stop you from benefiting from your new custom orthotics.

COMMENTARY | NEWS

From the Mayor’s Desk: A new approach to dog control Mayor Keith Fielding Commentary

Mayor Keith Fielding At a regional district board meeting held this week, consultant Allan Neilson Welch presented recommendations arising from his review of the regional district dog control service — a study commissioned by the board in light of

a number of issues and problems experienced with the service, including: • Long delays in court processing of actions deemed necessary for dealing with dangerous dogs and high legal costs for pursuing such actions; • Steadily increasing program costs with relatively low levels of cost recovery; • An increasing number of bylaw infringements; • Reduced compliance with dog licensing requirements; and • A low level of community confidence in the service.

All member municipalities, Peachland, West Kelowna, Kelowna, Lake Country, and the two

Electoral Areas, participate in the dog control service and have looked to this service review as an important priority and an opportunity to find practical solutions to longstanding and complex problems – an expectation that, based on the board’s highly positive response to the report and presentation, has been well satisfied.

The report covers a very wide range of issues and includes recommendations relating to: the vision and mandate of the service; dog licensing; education; bylaw enforcement; community engagement; dog aggression; in-house versus contracted service; fees and fines; and various other organizational

and operational matters.

Most importantly however, the recommendations are designed to support a proposed new approach to service delivery — an approach that places its primary emphasis on responsible dog ownership.

Bylaw enforcement remains an essential component of the proposed Responsible Dog Ownership model, but under this approach, enforcement is positioned as part of a system in which rewards, incentives, and disincentives are used to achieve desired outcomes. Pioneered in the City of Calgary more than 20 years ago, this approach to dog control is focused on the behaviour of dog owners as

much, if not more, than on their dogs. It has been successfully applied in other cities in Canada, as well as in Europe and Australia and is increasingly recognized as the preferred way to achieve desired outcomes. Those outcomes are expected to include: • A significant increase in compliance with dog licensing requirements; • Significant increase in the level of service cost-recovery and a related decrease in the level of taxpayer contributions required; • Decrease in dog-related complaints; • Decrease in bylaw violations and tickets issued; • Decrease in the number of dog aggression

incidents; • Higher support for, and confidence in, the service; • Increase in dog adoption rates; and • Decrease in the number of dogs impounded and dogs destroyed.

As a board, we have recognized that it will be important for the public to be provided with opportunities to study the report, to express opinions, and to engage with us as we develop an implementation strategy. In the meantime, the report is available for review on the regional district website.

I am always pleased to respond to questions and comments and can be reached by email at: mayor@peachland.ca

Board meetings Board meetings are held at the regional district office located in the Woodhaven Board Room at 1450 KLO Road in Kelowna. Residents are

welcome to attend.

• Thursday, November 8 - following the 8:30 a.m. governance and services committee meeting; and • Monday, November 26 at 7 p.m.

Regional Board highlights – October 22 Regional dog control service The regional board has received a report from the consultant that has thoroughly reviewed the regional dog control service. The board has directed staff to provide it with an implementation plan including opportunity for public comment with the goal of rolling out changes within the next year. Consultant Allan Neilson recommends many actions to shift to a new model for dog service delivery, similar to one developed over the past 20 years in Calgary. It would see more focus on incentives and rewards for responsible dog owners, while providing zero tolerance for those not supporting their responsibilities to their dogs and the community at large. The model encourages a more positive public education and compliance function, while increasing the number of dog licenses purchased to both reduce taxpayer funding of the service and bylaw violations. He also recommends steps designed to increase public education and awareness about responsible dog ownership, while encouraging and enlisting the support of volunteers to help in a region-wide effort to improve compliance.

Regionally significant projects approved The regional board has received a letter from the Union of BC Municipalities outlining approval of

Federal Gas Tax funding for several regionally significant projects totalling more than $3.5 million. Among the projects approved for gas tax funding: • Regional active transportation project $2,247,315; • Septic treatment upgrades project $780,000; • Upgrade and provide backup centrifuge at regional septage treatment facility - $317,900; • Regional household travel survey - $150,000; and • Review and update regional air quality management plan - $38,000.

Proposed Greyhound route reductions The regional board will send a letter to the BC Passenger Transportation Board expressing disappointment over proposed route frequency reductions by Greyhound Canada. The board believes the decrease in bus service will further erode transportation services for rural communities.

In light of these proposed changes and past Greyhound service reductions, the board will send a letter to the province requesting a review of the monopoly on bus transportation with a focus on local solutions.

September building statistics During September, Development Services approved nine building permits for a construction projects valued at

$641,113 in the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West Electoral Areas. That compares with 12 permits issued in August 2011 for projects valued at $749,400. During the first nine months of 2012, 93 building permits have been approved in the electoral areas for projects valued at $6.8 million. During the same period last year, 128 permits were approved for construction projects totalling more than $9.3 million.

Local transit service bylaw The regional board has given three readings to a proposed bylaw that would amend the Local Transit Service Area Establishment Bylaw No. 376. The amendment removes the regional district from providing transit services on behalf of the District of Peachland and Westbank First Nation. Both local governments have indicated to the Regional District that they wish to form their own transit operation agreements with BC Transit.

Water rate petition received The regional board has received a letter and petition from the North Westside Ratepayers Association. The petition was signed by people concerned about the water rate structure introduced earlier this year.

The new rates introduced an asset renewal fee and

marked the first time that a water consumption based rate was charged to customers of the six water systems operated and maintained by the regional district.

TRAVEL

Across Canada by train, the journey continues

Eric Hall My journey on the VIA Canadian with the British tour group started in Toronto and during the second night, we left the Canadian Shield in Northern Ontario for Manitoba and the wheat fields of the Canadian prairies. The next morning we had a four-hour stop at Union Station in the centre of Winnipeg.

It is a great building and the city is working to make the area around the station an attractive tourist destination.

Most of the VIA staff live in Winnipeg, so we saw a completely different service crew when we left Winnipeg at midday. I invited my group to join me on a visit to the Manitoba Legislative Building, which is within walking distance of the station. At the back of the station, there is a market called The Forks, where the Assiniboine River flows into the Red River. But it is early and the market isn’t open yet, so we crossed Main Street and followed the path by the Assiniboine River. Near the legislative building, we stopped to look at a large statue of Louis Riel, the leader of the North-West Rebellion of 1885. His execution by the Canadian govern2 The Peachland View

ment still causes hard feelings in Manitoba. I left my group to make their own way back to the station and soon we were back on the train on our way again. The VIA train follows the CN route heading west to Saskatoon, Edmonton and Jasper rather than the original CP route through Regina, Calgary and Banff. We retired for our third and last night on the train.

I told my group not to worry about getting off in Edmonton at 7 a.m. the next morning, as the station there is in a railway siding, well out of town. After Edmonton, we all got our cameras ready as we approached the Rocky Mountains.

We got into Jasper on time at 1 p.m., and after we got off the train, we met our Brewster bus for an afternoon at Maligne Lake. After the end of May, others will take a scenic boat trip, but for us, Maligne Lake was an opportunity to admire a winter of snow and ice that lingers through to the end of May. We stayed just one night in Jasper, as we made our way south, by bus, along the Icefields Parkway the next day.

The drive from Jasper to Lake Louise must surely be the most beautiful in Canada. Often referred to as the wonder highway, it is a neverending view of scenic mountains, rivers and huge glaciers. We stop late morning at the Icefield centre for a trip on a Brewster Ice Explorer.

These vehicles drive on the surface of the Athabasca Glacier, which comes down from the massive Columbia Ice-

ALBERTA’S Athabasca Glacier. field. The trip takes about 90 minutes and then we have time for lunch before we continue south past Lake Louise to the town of Banff. Just as Jasper is a CN railway town, so Banff is a CP railway town. We spent two nights in Banff, giving us a day to explore the area around Lake Louise before we catch the Rocky Mountaineer.

Our hotel, The Fox, was built a few years ago and is the newest hotel in town. Parks Canada controls Banff and very little development is allowed. We are glad they allowed The Fox to be built; it’s a good one.

I will have a chance to walk around the train to see them. Most passengers are restricted to the section that they are in, but sometimes being a tour manager has some privileges.

The next morning, we collected the suitcases early as they go by truck separate from the train. We arrived at the Banff station at 8 a.m. and waited for the train that started in Calgary.

We had to get up before 7 a.m., so we are glad we didn’t catch the train in Calgary for an even earlier start. Banff Station is very small, so a large crowd gathered outside, near the tracks.

It’s a nice day so that’s no problem. The train arrived late and after 10 minutes of confusion, everyone seemed to have found the right place. CP and CN make money on their freight traffic, so the Rocky Mountaineer is not a priority for them and we don’t leave until after 9 a.m. The differences between the three types of rail carriage are numerous but service is excellent in all three. It’s a great trip and everyone enjoyed it. Unlike VIA, a full commentary is given describing the route and there are lots of interesting views.

We arrive late in Kamloops and leave early the next morning, so we don’t get to see much of that city. The first day was all about mountain views; the second day, to Vancouver, is all about rivers and canyons. We followed the Thompson River and then at Lytton we saw the Thompson flow into the Fraser River. Bald eagles and Ospreys are commonly seen here.

After Hope, we see the green fields of the Fraser Valley. When we arrive in Vancouver, we are greeted by current Rocky Mountaineer staff by the side of the tracks and the previous staff on a union picket line just outside the station. Vancouver is a place that it is easy to talk about and we stayed three nights at the Metropolitan Hotel. By the time we were waiting at the Vancouver airport, everyone had stories to tell. I helped the lady on crutches with her suitcase at the international check-in and soon after went over to the domestic terminal for my flight to Kelowna.

COMMUNITY

Visitor Centre looks forward to new digs Loretta Robinson Special to the Peachland View The Peachland Visitor Information Centre is gearing up for a thrilling adventure - relocating to the historic primary school building. In the spring of 2013, the readapted structure, the new Peachland Community Services Building, will house both the Peachland Boys and Girls Club and the Peachland Visitor Information Centre as anchor tenants. Included under this umbrella are plans to support many other community activities and groups.

The layout includes a training/ meeting room available to the entire community, an expanded visitor centre, a gift shop featuring local artisans, and the piece de resistance – an educational interpretive centre featuring our very own Peachland bats. The current home of the centre (approximately 450 sq. ft.) shared with host agency, the Peachland Chamber of Commerce, barely allows more than a couple of parties of visitors into the reception area at one time - not the best way to make a good first impression to our 11,000 plus visitors a year!

Originally, the new visitor centre’s space along the front of the building was planned to utilize selected walls, hallways and entrances to feature the work of local artists.

Tourism Services and the chamber

understood both the importance of providing a first class visitor experience and the importance of supporting our local artist’s community.

However, events were about to become even more interesting.

In the fall of 2011 a job creation partnership was successfully awarded to the Peachland Chamber of Commerce Visitor Services by the Ministry of Social Development, Employment and Labour Market Services Division. With this grant, and the partnership of the District of Peachland, the project was able to move ahead to the next phase – the cleanup and removal of old walls, debris etc. within the building. Much to everyone‘s surprise this revealed a stunning architectural feature hidden away. The central hallway between the two anchor tenants’ space had the potential to be a delightful space all on its own.

The new plan is now to house an art gallery in this former hallway,

and create opportunities for not only our local Peachland artist community but also to have regular themed art shows, all adding to the residents and visitors experience.

The fact that tourism is the top economic driver in Peachland, and indeed in the region, prompted Tourism Services to maximize its presence in the 104-year-old building and provide a catalyst for enhancing the tourism economy of Peachland by expanding their operations to become the Peachland Visitor and Legends of the Lake Interpretive Centre. The concept is to highlight unique features of Peachland and the area. This fall, proposals to potential partners will be offered. Potential partnerships including the scientific community, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the provincial Ministry of Environment, the Okanagan Basin Water Board, regional districts and communities throughout the Okanagan Valley, First Nations, and universities will be invited to contribute to the furbishing and development of the interpretive centre, once constructed. To help us with this we have also applied for a grant to the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund, a federal program to rehabilitate and improve community infrastructures across Canada. It’s a whirlwind of activity, with a very exciting goal in sight!

Founded a century and a half ago, the Bahá’í faith is today among the fastest-growing of the world’s religions. With more than five million followers who reside in virtually every nation on earth, it is the second-most widespread faith, surpassing every religion but Christianity in its geographic reach.

Bahá’ís reside in more than 100,000 localities around the world, an expansion that reflects their dedication to the ideal of world citizenship.

On a global scope, the Bahá’í Faith is mirrored in its diverse widespread composition, representing a cross section of humanity, from virtually every nation, ethnic group, culture, profession, and social or economic class.

ethnic and tribal groups are represented. The faith forms a single international community free of schism or factions. It has become an organized body of people on earth.

The faith’s founder was Bahá’u’lláh, a Persian nobleman from Tehran.

In the mid-19th century he brought to humanity a stirring new message of peace and unity. He claimed to be nothing less than a new and independent messenger from God. His difficult life, divine work, and social influence parallel that of Abraham, Krishna, Moses, Zoroaster, Buddha, Christ, and Muhammad.

Bahá’ís view Bahá’u’lláh as the most recent in this succession of divine messengers.

The essential message of Bahá’u’lláh is that of unity - only one God, only one human race.

Humanity has collectively come of age. This foretold time has arrived for the uniting of all peoples into a peaceful and integrated global society.

He wrote and declared, “The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.”

The faith takes a distinctive approach to contemporary social problems. The faith’s scriptures and the multifarious activities of its membership address virtually every important trend in the world today, from new thinking about cultural diversity and environmental conservation, to the decentralization of decision making; from a renewed commitment to family life and moral values, to the call for social and economic justice in a world that is rapidly becoming a global neighborhood and network.

For a global society to flourish, Bahá’u’lláh stated a century and a half ago, fundamental principles: elimination of all forms of prejudice; full equality between the sexes; recognition of the essential oneness of the world’s great religions; elimination of extremes of poverty and wealth; universal education; harmony of science and religion; a sustainable balance between nature and technology; and the establishment of a world federal system, based on collective security and the oneness of humanity.

Bahá’ís (as followers of Bahá’u’lláh) around the world express their commitment to these principles chiefly through individual and community transformations. Small and large-scale, grassroots based social and Continued on page 15

COMMUNITY | DIVERSIONS Continued from page 14

economic development projects are always being launched in far-flung and diverse worldwide communities.

Projects have become encouraging international models of cooperation, harmony, and social action. Thinking globally acting locally is truly Bahá’í.

You are encouraged to investigate the Bahá’í faith locally by visiting the Okanagan Baha’i Resource Centre (on Main Street) in West Kelowna or by phoning 250-7670129 in Peachland. You can also research on the internet at www.bahai. org

Jewellery appraisals new at Angel Bazaar Jean Miller Special to the Peachland View St. Margaret’s Church in Peachland will hold its annual Angel Bazaar on November 3. In addition to the standard attractions such as bake table, delicatessen, silent auction, book table, sewing and crafts, men’s table, basket table, turtle table, and a raffle, this year there will be a new and exciting feature. Louise Kneller, certified personal property appraiser, will be giving appraisals of jewellery, ornaments and small pieces of furniture.

For just $5 per item, you will receive a verbal evaluation of your items. Bring along Grandma’s rings and necklaces, inherited pieces of china and crystal, or other items you have been given or purchased. Attendees are asked to limit themselves to three items per evaluation. If you have more than three items, you are welcome to have a second evaluation after others have had their turn. While you are enjoying the bazaar, you will be able to have a delicious homemade bowl of soup and bun along with some homemade goodies.

Some of the money raised at the bazaar will go to local charities. In the past, these have included the Peachland Food Bank, the Kelowna General Hospital, 10,000 Villages, the Peachland Wellness Centre, and others. There will a donation box for canned goods for the Peachland Food Bank.

The Bazaar will be held at the Peachland Community Centre on November 3 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Come, start your holiday shopping early and get an early start on the Christmas spirit.
