District signs Letter of Intent with TNI Property Management Inc. By Joanne Layh

The District of Peachland has signed a Letter of Intent with TNI Property Management for the redevelopment of a block of downtown land that covers the areas between 2nd and 3rd Streets and by Beach Avenue and Highway 97. The District owns approximately 40 per cent of the land in this block (the municipal office, fire hall, ambulance station, Chamber of Commerce/ Visitor Centre and the parking lot by the Royal Canadian Legion). The remainder of the properties within the block are either owned or con-

trolled by TNI Property Management with just one exception – The Edgewater Hotel. The Letter of Intent sets out how the district property may be acquired by TNI and provides them with a timeframe to prepare and submit development plans for the site. Neither TNI nor the district were willing to share the details of the agreement at this early stage in the process, but it is clear that their vision would involve demolishing existing structures to rebuild something greater. “This is a big step, getting this letter with the

Waldo Way looks with shops and artist studios, all this kind of thing, I think that’s fantastic,” Allison said, “Everything that that shows in the charrette, I love personally.” As a business owner based in Peachland, Allison would like to keep the project as local as possible in all aspects. The proposal could still be rejected by council, but given their support for the charrette process, that does not seem too likely. “We are very pleased to be working with TNI Property Management in this exciting initiative to revitalize downtown

Peachland,” Mayor Keith Fielding said. “Working with a local company to create new opportunities for business, residents and visitors can now happen in conjunction with the recently completed charrette process, resulting in the Sustainable Downtown Peachland Plan.” “I think our concept is very much in line with the charrette,” Allison told the View. “I know it is the town’s goal to get emissions down and a big way they hope to achieve that is to get more people living, working and playing downtown where they can walk to work, walk home, walk to

amenities,” Allison said, adding that they would be very keen to include green building practices where possible. Though plans are still in the development stages, it is possible that the structure that TNI might build would be tiered in nature, with the taller part being towards the highway and the shorter part being at Beach Avenue. Allison says the concept would also likely involve some public parking on a platform away from Beach Avenue. District staff say the development proposal will be presented at a public hearing at a future date.

A Dryden Road f lock of chickens have been greatly reduced in numbers after their coop went up in f lames last week. On the evening of Thursday, August 12 a call came into Peachland Fire and Rescue Service (PFRS) for a structure on fire burning into the trees. In the backyard of a Dryden Road residence, PFRS arrived on the scene to find a chicken coop fully engulfed in f lames next to a heavily wooded area. The residents had tried to extinguish the fire with garden hoses, which Peachland Fire Chief Grant Topham says probably helped the fire from spreading into the pine trees in the wooded area next to the property. However, the garden hoses weren’t enough to save the coop. “ They [the residents] contained it as best they could, though the whole building was engulfed in f lames,” Topham said. PFRS

C

members extinguished the fire but the coop and most of the f lock were lost. “ There were some small chicks in there, little yellow ones, and then there were some older ones as well,” Topham said. “Out of them all [approximately 20], there were only two chicks that survived.” Topham says the fire was determined to have been caused by a heating appliance located inside the coop. The fire chief is warning the public to be extra careful while the risk of fire remains high. “It’s hot and dry and we’re in extreme fire danger so we have to be careful with everything electrical. There are no fires allowed in Peachland or actually anywhere in the province at this time so you have to be extremely careful. If anyone sees anything that is out of the ordinary they should call 9-1-1 immediately because we can’t take a chance,” Topham said.

Hazardous trees reach end of life By Joanne Layh

An elm and a cottonwood tree across from 5806 Beach Avenue will need to come down in the interest of public safety, district staff say. “The trees are visibly affected and the arbourist says they are a hazard and they need to come down,� director of operations Doug Allin told the View. A professional tree removal company will take down the trees sometime over the next two weeks. An arbourist for the district says the trees have a high risk of fall-

ing. They pose the potential of having large limbs break off or possibly even the whole tree, which would create a safety issue for the public. There is currently less than 25 per cent live growth in the canopy of the elm. The cottonwood is not faring much better – a large limb is already dead and there is signiďŹ cant rot in the trunk. District staff have been monitoring the welfare of the trees and have decided that the two Beach Avenue trees have reached the end of

life. “The district has planted other trees in the past in anticipation of the compensation that’s required for replacement. Our trees that are planted along the walkway are strategically placed to account for these ones,� Allin said. “The arbourist has basically said, ‘they’re very similar to people where there are so many things that affect them. There is age, there’s disease, there’s other various things,’� Allin explained. An additional tree may be planted next to City Hall in the future.

Appeals committee volunteers needed By Joanne Layh District staff say appeals committee volunteers are still needed in the event that there is an appeal to a green credit policy decision. In June, council adopted a green credit policy that will recognize ‘grey area’ local food producing properties by offering qualifying producers a break on their water bills. Only certain properties

will qualify for the break. If declined, the applicant will be provided with the reasons as well as information about the appeal process. However, an appeals committee has yet to be established because more volunteers are still needed. The volunteers will be expected to convene to consider appeals within 10 working days of an appeal being submitted and will render a decision on

an appeal within three days of it being heard. The applicant may make a further appeal to council and that decision will be ďŹ nal. The appeals committee will consist of three members of the public who have yet to be appointed by council. Interested members of the public should contact the District of Peachland for more information about joining the committee.

Flare-up at Seclusion Bay Both Peachland Fire and Rescue Service (PFRS) and West Kelowna Fire and Rescue attended a small are-up at Seclusion Bay on the morning of Tuesday, August 17. As West Kelowna arrived at the scene ďŹ rst, they extinguished the ďŹ re, although PFRS stood by in case their assistance was needed. The ďŹ re was extinguished within 15 minutes. “It was just a small ďŹ re, approximately two feet by two feet,â€? Peachland ďŹ re chief Grant Topham said. “I would expect it would be embers from the ďŹ re before‌it’s deep in the roots. It’ll come up when the weather gets hot.â€? Both Peachland and West Kelowna responded to the ďŹ re as Seclusion Bay extends through both municipalities.Â

Exercise caution on inflatable devices Peachland Fire and Rescue Service (PFRS) are warning the public to exercise caution when using inatable devices on Lake Okanagan. “We’ve been getting a lot of marine rescues,â€? Peachland

ďŹ re chief Grant Topham said. “If they’re on inatable toys or oaties [they should] be extremely careful because when the wind comes up it’ll carry them way out and they’ll get in trouble out there, especially without a life jacket on,â€? Topham said. PFRS attended two marine rescues in the last week alone.

No gravel pit ties to Sundown Self Storage It seems that some people are confusing Sundown Self Storage with Peachland Self Storage, the owners of the McDougald Road gravel pit. The confusion is causing some trouble for the owner of Sundown Self Storage, given the controversial nature of the gravel pit. “I am getting nice and not so nice calls,� Robert Jomphe of Sundown Self Storage said, clarifying, “We have nothing to do with Peachland Self Storage.� While Sundown Self Storage is located in Peachland, it has no connection to Peachland Self Storage. Jomphe would like the public to be aware that Peachland Self Storage is on the left of McDougald Road and Sundown Self Storage is on

Bread truck causes collision at Antlers Beach A northbound bread truck ended up in a ditch on Highway 97 near Antlers Beach after crossing into the southbound lane and colliding into a pickup truck on August 13. The collision occurred at approximately 12:30 p.m. West Kelowna RCMP say the 5 tonne bread truck, driven by a Kelowna male in his twenties, had crossed over the centre line signiďŹ cantly. “The southbound pickup truck did all she could to avoid a crash but ended up being side struck on the driver side rear quarter panel,â€? RCMP Sgt. Ann Morrison said. The driver of the pick-up truck was a woman in her thirties travelling with her nine-yearold daughter. The collision sent the pick-up off the road to the right and into the ditch. The bread truck landed in the opposite ditch. No one was injured in the crash, but Highway 97 was blocked for about an hour as a result of the accident. The driver of the bread truck was ďŹ ned $368 for driving without due care and attention.

Have you ever thought about a home exchange? Since we have done more than a dozen home exchanges, people often ask us how it works. Sometimes they can’t believe that we would let complete strangers have the run of our home. It’s been almost 20 years since our fi rst exchange and we have done two this year. The process has changed considerably in the last 10 years, because of email and the internet. Twenty years ago, the information was available from large catalogues and contact was by letter or by telephone calls. These days you browse the website using a search program and send emails. The number of companies that provide this service has also increased significantly. Some of the older companies such as Homelink and Intervac needed representatives in each country to distribute information and answer questions. These

companies have kept their representatives but newer sites don’t bother with that luxury. You can contact the company owners directly by email. The information on most websites is available for visitors. As a member, you pay an annual fee, which ranges from about $50 to $100 per year depending on the organization. You can sign on at the websites and use the search programs without paying but you can’t contact any of the members. In fact the initial contact (even for members) is usually a controlled email using a formatted entry on the website, so you don’t get the actual email address until someone replies. That is how the companies ensure that, if you are serious about home exchange, you have to register and pay the fee. It is also important to have valid personal contact information registered

to ensure accountability. After the initial contact email, it wouldn’t be unusual to exchange as many as 50 other emails in answer to the many questions and to make detailed plans for the exchange. It’s through that process that you get to know the other people. If it doesn’t seem to be going in the right direction, you have time to cancel before booking airline tickets. When you do an international exchange, that often also includes a car exchange and that’s another level of complication. If you have seen the home exchange movie The Holiday, it’s nothing like that! The exchange arranged in the movie was all too fast and too easy. In reality it takes a lot of hard work and is usually arranged several months in advance. In a real exchange, you hope the other house looks like the picture you have

MY VIEW seen on the internet. Some people also have a view of the beach from their front window, some show pictures of the vegetable garden, and some include photographs of themselves. It is really up to each member to show whatever information and photographs that they consider important. You can exchange with pets, but you have to declare them; some people are looking to exchange homes with pets. When we first joined the Intervac home exchange organization, we lived in Surrey near Vancouver. We sent in our information and it was printed in the next catalogue. We specified that we wanted to make an exchange in California. We didn’t

have to wait long before several exchange offers arrived in the mail. We settled on a home in Walnut Creek, east of San Francisco. Seven months and several letters later, we were on our way. We have never met the family from Walnut Creek that exchanged with us then. We probably passed them on the I5 as they went in the opposite direction. We got to know several of their neighbours, one of whom had a very nice pool that our son David enjoyed very much. Most of our home exchanges were from Surrey and it was never a problem fi nding a match, although it became much easier with email. When we moved to Peachland, we assumed that it would be just as easy as we now lived in a vacation area. For our first try at our new home, we specified that we wanted an exchange with England (we did several from Surrey). We didn’t receive a single email. In the past, we just had to wait for offers to arrive; now we had to do the work. I searched the website and selected some homes for contact. I sent out about 50 emails and got about a dozen replies, all fi nishing with “no thanks�. One factor was the extra cost of getting here when you need more than one flight. When we did get

a response, it was to ask us how far we were from Vancouver. Most people in England have never heard of the Okanagan Valley but they are sure interested in Vancouver. It was, on reflection, the international appeal of the city of Vancouver that had made it easy for us in previous years. I joined another home exchange site (homeforexchange) and we did conclude an exchange but it took a lot of emails and follow-up. The family from England came to stay with us for a couple of days before we left, so we got to know them. Despite the fact that it is more difficult from Peachland, we are big fans of home exchange. It is so much easier to learn about another country when you stay in a real home rather than a hotel. I can honestly say that we have never had a bad experience and we have met some great people. We still keep in touch with some of our exchange families. We have enjoyed being in a family environment and being able to make meals “at home�. Learning how to operate someone else’s stove or washing machine just adds to the interest factor in the holiday. But driving a small car with a manual change gearbox on the wrong side of the road, now that’s a real challenge!

Left turns almost impossible Have you tried to make a left hand turn recently from any of the roads from Peachland onto Highway 97? It is almost impossible! One has to wait until the light has changed in West Kelowna in order to make the turn. When are we going to get a stop light in Peachland at the mall or at the very least at the bottom of Ponderosa Drive? What will happen when the new developments on Pincushion Mountain will increase traffic onto Highway 97? How is this additional traffic to be handled, when the day-to-day traffic cannot meet a reasonable standard? This a problem which the present council must solve today for those who are presently living in Peachland and need to make those left hand turns. Patricia Day

Pincushion Trail greatly improved

I was one of those people who had walked the re-routed Pincushion Mountain trail recently and had been very upset with its condition. I sent an email to the town expressing my concerns. While I was away in Alberta, I received two calls from Scott Dawson, general manager of Ponderosa, inviting me to come up to the course and see him. When I called him back, he told me that they had a crew of four working on making changes to the re-routed section that I had concerns with. He asked if I could come up and walk the improved section with him. On Tuesday, August 10, we drove up to the start of the trail and I was very impressed with the improvements that had been made. Many new stairs had been installed, much of the steepness had been eliminated by the addition of

switchbacks and overall, it was just a much more pleasant trail to walk. By the time you read this, the new improvements should be close to completion and I invite anyone who had concerns before about the trail to give it a try. Keep in mind that the trail was always a challenge as far as the grade and the elevation is concerned however, I think the new re-route makes the trail even better because of the terrific views that are now available along almost the entire length of the re-routed section. At one point, you are able to see many of the new holes that are going in for the expanded golf course and when it is completed, the course with that fabulous lake view as a backdrop will be something to see. Scott offered a lot of information about the new course and the development including the

skating rink and new additions to the trail system. Some of these might have the possibility of being used in the winter. I went away excited about the possibilities that this whole development will offer not only for golfers but all Peachlanders in the future. It was also nice to see that the four enthusiastic young guys working on the trail improvements were all from Peachland. I commend Scott for his proactive response to the concerns about the re-route. With his local background and 14 years of experience with the golf club, I really get the sense that he is a good person to have in that position and that he takes very seriously all concerns of our residents in regards to this project. Larry Krar

For those of you following the HST initiative process, last week Elections BC confi rmed that the voting threshold had been met in all ridings across British Columbia. As there are currently legal proceedings before the courts with respect to this matter, the exact vote totals have not yet been formerly disclosed on a riding-by-riding basis. I believe it is always important that citizens do not take any increase in taxation lightly and challenging all levels of government on taxation levels is an important part of the democratic process. However, taxes must also be looked at in a broad overview with an understanding that while some taxes may have gone up, other taxes, such as income taxes, have significantly come down to the point

that British Columbia now has the lowest personal income taxes in all of Canada. I believe it is also important to look at the services and infrastructure that your tax dollars support in your community. A major expansion to Okanagan College, a new UBC Okanagan University, new affordable senior’s housing and supportive housing for those at risk of being homeless are just a few examples in some communities in this region. In other areas there are improved water systems, new schools, improved transportation infrastructure, upgrades to community centers, new playgrounds and skate parks for youth and a host of other projects and programs, as well.

rooms across this region in September and fortunately for some of our youth they will now be better prepared because of successful programs like Strong Start. These are just a few examples of the many new programs and services that were not available in the past, even when you were paying some of the highest income taxes in North America. All of these programs and services are made possible by people working together to make a difference in our communities and through your tax dollars. I have been fortunate to attend many of these community assets and can say fi rst hand they are making a real difference in people’s lives. I appreciate that taxes will never be a popular topic, but I also urge you to consider some of the new programs and services being created that will better serve the needs of our region.

Hard work pays off for Peach Tarts By Kaz Zvanitajs

It wasn’t just the temperature outside that was hot on Saturday night. Things were heating up inside Kelowna’s Prospera Place at the Deuce Scoop Roller Derby Double Header. With around 80 roller derby girls, refs and non-skating officials who came to skate in two separate bouts that night, it was fishnets, glitter and roller skates as far as the eye could see.

Bylaw Beat DALE ZIMMERMAN We live in a beautiful place and we should strive to keep it as clean as we can. This week we’ll look at one of the bylaws that help us to do just that. The Unsightly Premise Bylaw # 1333 Neither the registered owner nor the occupier of real property within the District of Peachland shall: (a) Allow such real property to become or remain untidy or unsightly such that it gives offence to others and/or has a detrimental effect upon neighbouring properties and/or is a potential source of danger of contamination; (b) Cause or permit rubbish or noxious, offensive or unwholesome matter to collect or accumulate around such real property. Fall is just around the corner and it is time

C

to get our yards into shape for the winter. Now is a great time to start to clean up any of the rubbish and derelict vehicles that we have sitting around and no longer need. If you have an unwanted vehicle that you want to get rid of, you can call the Kidney Foundation to have it removed at no cost to the homeowner and you may get a tax receipt for the donation. Their telephone number is 250.769.2289. Weeds fall under the jurisdiction of the Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) and can be reported by calling 250.763.4918 or by emailing info@cord. bc.ca. Many of the bylaws of Peachland are posted on our website and can be viewed by anyone free of charge. These notes are from the bylaws but have been edited, so please check our website for the exact wording at w w w. p e a c h l a n d . c a . Alternately, you can purchase a copy of a bylaw at City Hall. Please have a safe and enjoyable summer. If you require any assistance please contact the office at 250.767.2647 or call me on my cell phone at 250.212.2331.

By Lorraine MacTavish The 91st Peachland Fall Fair is set to take place on September 11 and 12 and we are looking forward to presenting the best autumn bounty that Peachland has to offer. Do you or your friends and family think you have the best baking in town? If so, then we would love to put your baking to the test. We are looking for the best

buns, bread, cookies, cakes, muffi ns, squares and pies to challenge our judging panel with. Also, Okanagan fruit is in abundance and canning has long been one of the best ways to preserve the fabulous summer flavour long into the winter months. You can enter your apricots, cherries, peaches and pears (canned with or without sugar) as well as your jams, jellies and marmalades. Enter your

best preserves including everything from antipasto, pickles, relishes, and salsas to juices and tomatoes. The specialty category for preserves is the “Gourmet Entry in Canning”. Your recipe must be attached and presentation is very important. All jars will be opened and evaluated. Judging includes appearance, colour, texture, flavour and bouquet. All jars must be sealed using new lids

(except for freezer jams). No metal containers, please. Points and prizes will be awarded in all the above categories. For more contest details, you can pick up a copy of the Peachland Fall Fair booklet at numerous businesses in town and at the Chamber of Commerce. Questions can be directed to Martha Jenkins at 250.767.9461 or Lorraine MacTavish at 250.767.6353.

Youth News

By Ana Frias and Jessyca Nielsen

Middle School

High School • Some basic hallway rules: Walk on the right side and don’t stand in the middle of the hallway – group off to the side, the multipurpose room, outside, or in an empty classroom; • MBSS tips from a recent grad: Use the bathrooms by the front entrance – they’re always the cleanest. The water fountains by the gym are the coldest. Drinking too many Slurpee’s from Petro = bad cavities + no money! • Be yourself and don’t just try to fit into an appealing group. Find the

Transitions, they’re tough. And conveniently, life just happens to be full of them. We’ve put our heads together to come up with some handy tips to help you slide easily into the next phase of school. Whether you’re heading off to middle school, high school or college, here are some suggestions to start your year off right.

• Attend the orientation to learn your way around the school and meet new classmates. Or, you can always go to the school a few days early to wander around and figure out where things are; • Stay organized – use your agenda to keep track of upcoming deadlines, homework assignments, tests and events; • Join a club, a sports team or student council – it’s a great way to meet new people and get involved in your school; • Keep a few quarters in your locker for the pay phone – the school will only let you use their phone in a jam and cell phones aren’t allowed during school hours; • It’s a good idea to find out if your school has a dress code, so you don’t get sent home to change. GMS does not allow tank tops, spaghetti straps, short shirts, low ride jeans, hats or anything with inappropriate images; and • The school has free support services such as homework help, school counsellors, career education and more. Check them out early in the school year and find out what’s offered. If you don’t own a computer at home, there are laptops that you can sign out for the night. Check out the school library for details.

ties to take your degree to that next level. Do an exchange to a foreign country, take cooperative education, or work on campus as a research assistant; and • Don’t fall into the trap of the “Freshman 15” – if you eat chicken fingers and fries every day, you will gain weight! Explore your food options (salad bar!) and if you’re living on campus, keep some healthy alternatives in your dorm. If you live off campus, consider packing a lunch or healthy snacks to get you through the day and don’t forget to stay hydrated. Buy a re-usable water bottle and refill throughout the day. • Campuses are full of free resources for students from help with resumes and career options to health professionals and academic advisors. Find out what your campus has to offer and take advantage of these resources!

• The librarians are amazing – they can help you get started on research or get your hands on an article you need. Make friends with the library because you will be spending a lot of time there! • Don’t be afraid of buying used text books – they save you a ton of money and often are in great shape. Many campuses have a used bookstore and you can always check out off-campus textbook exchanges as well as websites such as Amazon. However, before you buy used, make sure it is the right edition of the book. If you’re considering buying an older edition, check with your professor first.

Shepherd’s Pie

Food For the Soul The Dog in Mae Sot food, water, blankets, school resources, sports equipment and medical supplies come from individuals, businesses, churches and community groups. Every one of the 61 schools in the Mae Sot area has shortages of some kind. At this particular school, food was the issue. Students only ate breakfast and supper. And with the funding they received, meat was a luxury. As a result, they began to hunt the diseased rats that rushed through the rural school property from time to time. No rodent was safe. The interesting twist

to the story is that a dog lived at the school as well. He was more than just a dog who hung around there. He was the school mascot – the family dog. Everyone knew and loved him. When the student choir sang, he howled along with them‌through the whole song. I heard it myself. However, in spite of his cuteness, because of food shortages, rumours began to circulate that the dog might be next. No joke. One day the school nurse stood up at a school assembly and told the students that if they ate the dog, she would not treat them for any med-

ical conditions. The dog survived. We’ve been told that everyone suffers a bit of reverse culture shock upon returning home from a trip such as ours. For me, the biggest adjustment has been to readjust to the abundance of western culture. Compared to the students we visited, we’ve got everything we need and much of what we want. In fact, as we’ve removed clothing, furniture, toys, pots, pans, tools, bedding and shoes from storage back into our home, I feel like we just won some kind of lottery. And yet, I still might not have every-

Derek Koch Emmanuel Church thing I need. The Bible tells us to be free from the love of money and to be content with what we have. I’m not sure I get that yet. To some degree I understand it a bit more after our year away, but still, the struggle for satisfaction in my present situation continues. There is always someone out there with a bit more than me. Where did that jealousy come from? I’ve got to keep pounding it down like the gopher game at Scandia. Two perspectives influence me in the middle of this internal crisis. Firstly, the story of the dog in Mae Sot helps a lot. I have never come close to contemplating the kind of decision these students were considering. How can I demand more when they have so little? tivity Ce Ac

As many of you will remember from the recent interview in the Shepherd’s Pie column, my family and I recently returned from a oneyear adventure in Mae Sot, Thailand. There we worked on the ThaiBurma border with Burmese refugees fleeing from political crisis and extreme poverty. Today I’d like to tell you a story from our travels. The story comes from a high school of 104 Burmese students – all who live at the school boarding house. Unlike our Canadian schools, these Burmese schools are not funded by tax dollars. Funding for

Secondly, my belief in Jesus’ words when he said not to store up treasures on earth where rust and moths destroy and thieves break in and steal motivates me. He said we should instead store up treasures in heaven. The perspective that there is more to life than the here and now – that my present actions influence an eternal realm – helps move me in the right direction. Practically speaking I think a thorough analysis of what we actually need and want is in order. For many of us, we can live on a lot less and spend our money more meaningfully, wisely and generously. Perhaps we can give more of it away to those who need it. Thankfully, we don’t face the same dilemma as the students in Mae Sot. Our dogs are safe and our stomachs are full. But beware the disease of discontentment. When you feel it coming, remember Mae Sot and treasures in heaven‌and put your wallet back in your pocket.
