Fuel reduction work underway in Trepanier Creek area By Joanne Layh
Residents in Central Okanagan West and Peachland are going to be a little bit safer, thanks to a fuel management project that is underway now. Fuel management work is taking place within the Westbank First Nation (WFN) Community Forest that includes an area adjacent to the District of Peachland, through the Central Okanagan West Electoral Area and District of West Kelowna to approximately Traders Cove. The project extends over 23 hectares along the Trepanier Creek area. The fuel reduction partnership is the result of a cooperative effort between the Regional District of Central Okana-
gan (RDCO) and WFN. “We’re working with WFN on this because we were able to access the grant money through the federal community adjustment fund and we’ve been working with them to identify areas that need to be treated and have the fuel reduced. It’s a good partnership between the two governments,” RDCO communications coordinator Bruce Smith said. The grant money comes from the Canada Economic Action Plan, which provided more than $166,000 in community adjustment funds to the RDCO for completion of this work. Earlier this year, the RDCO accessed another $40,000 in community adjustment funds for a similar
fuel management treatment over 12 hectares in the WFN Community Forest, adjacent to the Trepanier Forest Service Road, north-west of the Okanagan Connector overpass. Work on the current project began in the week of July 19. A six-person crew contracted by the WFN’s forest management department Heartland Economics has been busy falling, spacing and pruning trees in this high priority section just south of Trepanier Creek. An abundance of fuel can contribute to the spread and severity of any fire. By removing dead and dying trees, thinning the forest understory and pruning ladder fuels, officials hope to make the area just a little less at
risk. The risk of wildfire in the area is presently so high that on some days workers are unable to operate chainsaws because of the threat a spark might pose. Smith says work will finish up in late September, though that time frame may be extended if the fire hazard and danger rating affects the crew’s ability to safely work in the forest. No burning will take place. Instead, all fuel materials will be chipped and removed from the site. Signs have been posted and neighbours and recreation groups have been advised to be aware of periodic, short closures of unsanctioned trails through the forest
as trees are cut, spaced, pruned and cleaned up. “This partnership with the Westbank First Nation is an excellent example of our governments working together to improve the safety and security of all our residents. We look forward to completing this and other joint forest fuel mitigation projects and encourage everyone to do what they can to make their properties Fire Smart,” Regional District Chair Robert Hobson says. For WFN forestry manager Grant Thompson the project is not only about safety, but is also about preserving the value of the forest. “This fuel management project is a demonstration of WFN’s commitment to manage the Westbank First Na-
tion Community Forest for multiple values over a very long time. These values include timber, water, wildlife, recreation, traditional uses, visuals and protection from wildfire. Projects such as these will ensure that all Okanagan residents will be able to enjoy and benefit from of our forests for many years to come.” The mitigation work being carried out this year covers only two of 20 areas identified for priority fuel treatments in the WFN tenured area and wild land urban interface adjacent to the District of Peachland, Central Okanagan West Electoral Area and District of West Kelowna. A multi-year plan is in place to treat the remaining identified areas.

Higher population could mean small grant increase in future By Joanne Layh Since 2001 BC communities such as Peachland have been receiving grant funding from the Strategic Community Investment Fund, a restructuring of provincial grants consisting of the Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing Program and Small Community and Regional District grants. Peachland has always received these grants and as there are no conditions associated with it, the community is free to use it as needed. Director of fi nance Doug Pride says Peachland E S TAT E W I N E R Y
uses the funding to subsidize the cost of municipal services that would otherwise be fi nanced through taxation. BC Liberal Government Caucus communications officer Stacie Dley says the grant amount is determined by a formula based on population and property assessment. “If population changes, of course the funding changes there,� Dley says, “your funding will increase up until [a population of] 15,000.� Dley also says that if a community becomes responsible for paying for their community polic-

Three-vehicle crash closes hwy Highway 97 traffic in Peachland was backed up and even closed for a time following a three-vehicle collision that happened at Drought Hill early Sunday afternoon. A northbound brown Honda SUV was travelling along Highway 97 when it apparently drifted into the oncoming southbound lane. RCMP say the SUV crashed into a red Ford pickup, caus-
ing [as Peachland would if the population is found to be over 5,000 in the next census] then they will be eligible for the traffic fi ne revenue funds in addition to Small Community Grants. In the most recent installment, Summerland received $28,372 in traffic fi ne revenue funds. Exactly how much Peachland would be expected to pay towards community policing once the population exceeds 5,000 is unknown, but taxpayers might be pleased to know there is a grant that could soften the blow.

All three vehicles suffered major damage and had to be towed away. “They had to cut open one of the vehicles and take two people out,� RCMP Constable Steve Holmes said. Details are scant, but it is known that some of the vehicles’ occupants suffered minor injuries. The driver of the Honda SUV, a 35year old male of Burnaby, was fined $368 and charged under the Motor Vehicle Act for Driving without due Care and Attention.

Boat volunteers needed for Rattlesnake Island Swim
7KH &RUSRUDWLRQ RI WKH 'LVWULFW RI 3HDFKODQG %HDFK $YHQXH 3KRQH 3HDFKODQG %& )D[ 9 + ; ZZZ SHDFKODQG FD
By Joanne Layh The Peachland Recreation Department is in need of boat volunteers for the August 14 Rattlesnake Island Swim. Boat volunteers are needed to shuttle the 3.1 km swimmers to the island early Saturday morning. In addition to that, canoeists and kayakers are needed to accompany the swimmers to help them stay on course or in case they need assistance. Pelma Haffenden of the Peachland Recreation Department says they have about 50 per cent less boat volunteers than last year and could really use the extra help. They’ll have to wake up early, but volunteers will receive a free t-shirt and breakfast following the swim. The 7 km swim begins at 7 a.m. and leaves from the 5th Street Dock, while the 3.1 km swim starts a half-hour later with participants beginning the race at the island. However, it takes about 30 to 45 minutes to get to Rattlesnake Island by boat, so 3.1 km swimmers are required to check in prior to departure, between 6 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. Time to complete the 3.1 km swim is capped at two hours, through the strongest swimmers should easily be able to complete the full swim in that time. Last year, overall female winner Ali

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Notice is hereby given that the Council of the District of Peachland will hold a Public Hearing as required under Section 905.3(1) of the Local Government Act, for the purpose of hearing representations of the public respecting matters contained in proposed Bylaw No. 1959, at 6:30 p.m. on August 10, 2010 in Council Chambers at the Peachland Community Centre, 4450-6th Street, Peachland, B.C. The proposed Master Development Agreement Authorization Bylaw No. 1959 authorizes Council to enter into a phased development agreement with 0817642 B.C. Ltd., to develop the Pincushion Ponderosa land according to the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement. Canoeists and kayakers assist Rattlesnake Island swimmers Photo Joanne Layh
Campbell finished the 7 km swim with a time of 1:46:50, while overall male winner Connor Vanderzalm came in at just 1:37:20. The swimmers will follow a course marked with motorboats and orange buoys. Each swimmer must provide his or her own accompanying canoe or kayak and assistant. The boat accompanying the swimmer may not be motorized or contain holes that cause the boat to take on water. For safety reasons, organizers of the event insist that the boat be lake-worthy if it is to accompany a swimmer on the lake. Swimmers are not permitted to share their kayaker or canoeist, although two canoeists (but not two kayakers) may share a boat provided that they are assisting two swimmers of very similar speeds. If two swimmers are sharing a canoeist and one swimmer falls behind, the boat will remain with the slower
swimmer. However, regulations of the swim prohibit the boat to be more than three boat-lengths away from either swimmer, so swimmers must choose each other carefully if sharing a boat. At the time of press, there were 33 people registered for the 3.1 km swim and 13 registered for the full swim. Following the swim, medals will be awarded to the top three swimmers in each age group. As well, St. Margaret’s Anglican Church will be hosting a pancake breakfast at the community centre from 7:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. The breakfast is open to the public and is only $5 for adults. Race swimmers eat for free. The swim takes place on Saturday, August 14. For more information or to become a boat volunteer, contact the Peachland Recreation Department at 250.767.2133 or email phaffend@peachland.ca.
The particulars of the Agreement are as follows: Developer: 0817642 B.C. Ltd Purpose: In general terms, the purpose of the bylaw is to authorize an agreement that restricts the authority of the Council to make changes to the CD-7 zoning established by Zoning Bylaw No. 1375 Amendment Bylaw No. 1924, 2010 for a speciďŹ ed number of years, in exchange for the provision by the Developer of certain public amenities and other terms and conditions set out in the agreement. Bylaw No. 1924 creates a comprehensive development zone for the purpose of redevelopment of the Ponderosa Golf Course (159 ha) and development of up to 2310 dwelling units, which includes 210 units of affordable housing, ranging from single family dwellings to multiple family strata title units, an urban village with a maximum of 5,000m2, commercial development and tourist accommodation, a winery and a vineyard. The agreement would restrict the authority of the Council to alter any of the provisions of the CD-7 zoning for 10 years with a possibility of extension for a further 10 years with the approval of the B.C. Inspector of Municipalities. The agreement is assignable to subsequent owners of the CD-7 zoned land with the consent of the District, and is assignable without the District’s consent to any business afďŹ liate of the Developer.

Yet, knowing that, they still move dramatically into harm’s way, wanting to protect, to subdue the menacing force, to prevent tragedy striking the lives of others. It is no clichĂŠ for those of us who live here when we say to the loved ones of those pilots, ‘‘our hearts go out to you.â€?

Peachland Views Common sense water agreement reached Power to the people WEEKLY COMMENTARY BILL BARISOFF, MLA As I have said in the past, the wheels of government often turn slowly, however they do continue to turn. Most recently an agreement was signed between the RDOS and the District of Summerland to extend domestic water service to the community of Faulder. It was not a huge announcement, but it is most certainly a very significant and important one. If you have been following this issue, you may recall that the community of Faulder has had a number of water challenges over the past few years. Uranium in the groundwater supply necessitated the need to potentially drill a new well. However more recent concerns regarding the long-term sustainability of the aquifer made this a costly and somewhat risky endeavor for all involved. Fortunately there was a common sense and
cost effective solution, extending the domestic water supply from Summerland to Faulder, and performing some other much needed upgrades during the construction process. It is a somewhat complex agreement, however it is ultimately a win-win solution that will benefit water users and in both communities, and also offers taxpayers excellent value. Water is easily one of our most valuable and underappreciated resources and that makes this project all that more important. However it did not happen by accident. A small group of Faulder residents first identified the potential for long-term problems with constructing an additional well and set about to work with their locally elected regional district area director to find a better solution. Through the due diligence of the area director, the District of Summerland was approached and again I must commend
the Summerland mayor and council for having the political will to back this important project as well. From that point staff within both the District of Summerland and the RDOS worked diligently to create a project and an agreement that was beneficial to all parties. The agreement is now signed and this project can move forward to the next phase. From a provincial perspective, grant funding that was made available to drill the well can now be used to help construct the expansion to help keep this project affordable for the Faulder ratepayers. By the time of the expected completion, this problem and related solution will have been on the books for less than three years. While this is still a significant period of time, in the world of government and infrastructure projects, this is easily one of the more expedited projects I have come across in many years. There is much that
can be learned from the community of Faulder receiving domestic water from the District of Summerland through this process. What is most important is that it illustrates the difference a group of citizens can make in their community. When people work together at all levels of government in partnership with local residents we can most certainly do great things. The Faulder water project is evidence of that. I would like to take a moment to formerly thank the local residents who got involved, RDOS area F director Michael Brydon, Summerland Mayor Perrino and council, and the staff at both the RDOS and the District of Summerland. Your combined efforts have ensured a community will have a safe and healthy water supply, and your respective taxpayers have received maximum value in this important project. Job well done.
of Peachland I can’t help but comment on the two recent articles one in the Westside and one in the Peachland View concerning the recent outages in the Peachland area. In this day and age and given the reliance homeowners, business and municipalities have on a reliable source of electrical power, it is unacceptable that there is not a loop feed or alternate source of power coming from the south so that we are not solely reliable on a supply from the north. I find that the comment from the B.C. Hydro spokesperson who said that the problem is that Fortis power is the supplier of power to the Summerland area, therefore it is not possible to initiate a tie point between the two distribution systems, certainly needs clarification and additional questions asked. So what if Fortis owns the plant? If B.C. Hydro is able to negotiate interprovincial and U.S.A. tie points for the exchange of power between electrical utilities on the transmission system, it shouldn’t be a stretch to negotiate some sort of agreement with Fortis for a tie point on the distribution system, after all we are in the same province! What then are the real problems? Cost, revenue return to Fortis, transformer capacity, larger conductor, a new plant, poles, spans of wire, switch, and oil circuit reclosures? None of these would seem to be insurmountable, so it leaves one to wonder if it is the ho hum approach that Hydro seems to have for the electrical needs of the residents and businesses of Peachland or is it just poor planning? Whatever the reason, we can only hope that the Chamber of Commerce or the town council keep vigilant in pursuing B.C. Hydro over this issue. David Blair, Peachland

The Peach Tarts began in Peachland with three local women and now boasts 35 derbyloving league members along with 27 new fresh meat, the new derby girls in training. The Tarts hosted their first home opener against the Raggedy Rollers of the Okanagan-Shuswap Derby Girls on June 19. Attendance at Prospera Place exceeded 2,000 fans and the derby girls did not disappoint. The Peach Tarts not only won their home opener, but brought derby fever to the central Okanagan! Modern day roller derby is played on a flat track but still has the hits and spills of derby from the 1970’s and 1940’s. Derby girls of today come from a wide range of backgrounds - paramedics, graphic designers, electricians, school teachers and

Thank you! Dancin' Barefoot rocked the City of Peachland with their 4th Annual concert held at Cousins Park in Peachland on July 17th. This event was founded by the late Terry MacGillivray and is managed by President, Val MacGillivray and Producer, Patricia Cheyne. Almost 2000 people danced and rocked to classic rock legends, Chilliwack and the following local bands were equally entertaining, Precision, Young 'Uns, Mystic Bowie, John Lee Sanders, Out of Eden and Sleddogs. "The audience members were amazing! They were courteous, respectful, dancing and laughing, we couldn't have asked for a better group of supporters for our cause", said Patricia Cheyne, Producer. The evening was perfect! There was a warm breeze from the lake, burgers, steaks and perogies sizzling in the background. The comments heard throughout the evening were "phenomenal music", "rockin' party", "great food" and "awesome concert spot". Dancin' Barefoot would like to thank everyone who volunteered and sponsored our event but in particular the generous support from the Peachland Community.

By Joanne Layh The Peachland Ambassador candidates have been busy in the kitchen this week whipping up cakes to auction at their personal speech event on Sunday morning. The cake auction is a new fundraising initiative for the Peachland Ambassador program, and while the cakes won’t be judged, audience members could walk away with a delicious homemade confection if their bid is the highest. “Some are working more on the design and some are working more on very special recipes. One girl is excited to be using her grandma’s recipe,” organizer Brenda Moshansky says. The cake auction will take place in between presentaCeramic and Natural Stone speech tions by the candidates, when “Tiles today are made of many judges are busy kinds of materials including marking and deceramic, glass, metal, concrete, liberating.

or her speech. Public speaking is an important component of the program over the year, Moshansky says. The personal speeches presentation is the first judged event for this year’s group of candidates. The Peachland Ambassador program begins with Debut Night at the beginning of June and culminates with Pageant Weekend in midSeptember. On September 17, visiting royalty from around the province will attend an evening event that promises to include sponsor speeches, entertainment presentations, and a fun fashion show. On the following night, candidates will be judged on evening wear presentations and impromptu questions in the final stages of competition. The evening finishes with an awards ceremony and coronation. If you’d like to follow your favourite candidate on their journey to the throne, check out their first judged event on Sunday. On Sunday morning the candidates will deliver their personal speeches based on a topic of their choosing. Moshansky says that the Westside toastmasters group has been mentoring the candidates in speech
craft, teaching them how to write and present a speech ensuring that they use many techniques such as vocal variety and eye contact. To ensure fairness, the judges were carefully chosen from outside of Peachland. The marks will be decided upon using criteria which includes: • Overall impression; • Formal opening and closing included in the speech; • Clarity, grammar and pitch; • Confidence, stage presence, poise; and • Timing. Reigning ambassador Zoe Moshansky and vice ambassador Portia Connor will emcee the event. The Peachland Ambassador personal speeches event and cake auction takes place on Sunday, August 8 at 11 a.m. in the community centre. Advance tickets are not necessary as admission is $5 at the door. If you’d like to attend the luncheon that follows the event, the cost is an additional $5, but you’ll need to RSVP for the luncheon by 10 a.m. on Saturday morning. To make a reservation, contact Brenda Moshansky at peachlandambassadors@hotmail.com or ring 250.767.6309.

Bylaw Beat
DALE ZIMMERMAN This week we will talk about the Noise Bylaw #1330. Please try to keep noise levels down, as some people are far more sensitive to noise then others. If you are having a party in the yard let your neighbors know about it in advance and keep the stereo equipment and karaoke machines inside the house as noise can carry for great distances under certain circumstances. We can all have fun and still show respect for other
before you
people around us. 1. Section 3.2: No person shall cause, make, permit, or allow noise of a continuous nature at a private residence that can easily be heard by an individual at another residence. Please note that this is very subjective as some people have very sensitive hearing. The noise must be above normal for the area. 2. Construction Hours: The following are the hours that construction noise is allowed: • Monday to Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 p.m.; • Saturday between the hours of 10 a.m. and 9 p.m.; • Sunday and holidays between the hours of 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.; • Permits may be given to extend these hours if required. Many of the bylaws of Peachland are posted on
our web site and can be viewed by anyone free of charge. You can view the bylaws on our web site at www.peachland. ca or 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.

Greata Ranch Vineyard’s name is a marriage between memory and philosophy. Greata’s President, Gordon Fitzpatrick, said the family’s connection to the site along Okanagan Lake grew from his father’s (Senator Ross Fitzpatrick) recollections of tagging along with his dad—who ran the McLean and Fitzpatrick packinghouse in Oliver—on peach runs to Greata Ranch. Those peaches were reputed to be the most prolific in the Okanagan and to an Okanagan boy peach juices running down the chin were sure signs of a perfect summer. “So when the property
C
was available in 1994 and my dad purchased it, he remembered it as Greata and to him it was always Greata.” And while the winery has not followed the trend toward quirky names, its appellation is true to its beliefs and values. “Our winemaking philosophy is ‘respect the land; honour tradition; pursue perfection; and that tradition rang true for him.” Fitzpatrick went on to say that there is an adage in the wine industry that land conducive to soft fruit boded well for grapes also. “So that purchase was based on my dad’s boyhood memories. Sometimes a little local knowledge goes a long way.”

BC wineries pushing the marketing envelope By Wendy Johnson BC wineries could be called the upstarts of the international wine industry. Born long after their ancestors made names for themselves in places like Champagne, Bordeaux and Burgundy and carried labels like Chateau-Margaux, BC’s wineries thumbed their noses at tradition and even climate and then brazened their way onto the world stage. From modest beginnings that were little better than liquid sweat socks with a kick, the BC wine industry reinvented itself in the 1990s to the point where the Old World is taking a close look at the rocky rump of a sprawling country in the New World. And while BC vineyards were converting to viniferas and winemakers were mastering
the art of climate and terrain or experimenting with blends, wineries were undergoing changes too. Relative babes in the centuries-old business and not willing to adhere to the European concept of naming their establishments after the monasteries or noble families that often gave rise to their birth in places like France or Italy, winery owners in this province are creating their own history and heritage by linking names to ideas, concepts, quirks and beliefs. Those results are broadening the definition of what Canadians have come to accept as winery names. Signature choices such as Working Horse, Tangled Vines, Serendipity, Blasted Church, Dirty Laundry and Laughing Stock are turning the formerly staid industry on its ear and proving that tradition and genealogy
are not the only criteria for marketing success. “Many of the names are built around a neat story,” said Lindsay Anders, communications manager at the BC Wine Institute. “They are really quite personal and different and each owner wanted to evoke a different emotion about the name.” She noted that Ontario is more conformist in its winery names, and then added, “But we’ve set The eye was on BC wineries during a recent visit by Japanese journalists, which included a stop at Working Horse ourselves apart and from Photo Joanne Layh a marketing perspective “We strongly advise their choices and ensure branding and then there it has been great.

Shepherd’s Pie
Food For the Soul Fruit That Can’t Be Bought I have been aware for a long time that the Okanagan is known for its beautiful orchards and delicious fruit. I remember coming up here from Vancouver as a boy with my family. It took us about 6 hours in an old car since we had many stops along the way including fresh air breaks since my parents didn’t like any of the windows open. It was nauseatingly hot in the car and all of the twists and turns on the Hope Princeton highway were not kind to my stomach. We had emergency bags in the car, but that would have
only made me sicker. When we finally arrived at our destination, and stepped out of the car, all of the discomfort was forgotten as I gazed out to a magnificent lake and orchards everywhere. Compared to the concrete jungle of the city, this was a little bit like paradise and we couldn’t wait to set up our campsite and dive in the lake. After that it was off to the cherry orchard where we could pick our own cherries. It was even more delightful when the owner told us to go ahead and have some tasters.
We didn’t have to wait till everything was picked so we got a handful of those succulent, sweet, dark purplish delights at only 25 cents a pound. We could eat some and then bring buckets full back to the campsite. My mom did warn me not to eat too many or I would get a stomachache. Not good at resisting this temptation, I found out she was right. She was also right when she told me about fruit that was sweeter and more delicious than those cherries, but cannot be bought at any price. She told me that
it was absolutely free for those who put their faith in Jesus Christ. I found out later that she was so right! The Bible talks a lot about fruit, not only the stuff we eat, but also something much more delightful. It’s what takes place in our lives when we believe in Jesus. Our life is compared to a tree that is meant to grow and produce fruit, good fruit that only comes as a gift from God. There is no perfect tree, no perfect life, and it does need pruning and shaping, but there are characteristics that are evident in
Pastor John Rankin, eachland Baptist Churc Peachland Church the fruit - the actions that it produces in the life of a Christian. So let’s look at the fruit to see how well we are doing. What is this fruit? What is this change that takes place by the working of the Holy Spirit? Galatians 5:22 says that the fruit or evidence of real change in a believers life is the gift of love, which is given by God. It is not talking about romantic love or brotherly love, but a deep, deep love that loves God first and foremost, and then loves others more than ourselves. It is a love that is quick to forgive and does not hold grudges. It is a love that thinks and wants the best for others. It is a love that does good even to those who would do bad things to you. It is a love that never quits. It never gives up and lasts forever. If this were the only fruit on the tree, the only evidence in one’s life, it would be enough, but there is more, much, much more, for this tree is unique. It has all kinds of different fruit clinging from its branches. The second fruit or evidence is joy, but there can be no joy if there is no love. There must be love to have true joy. Joy is not just a feeling or emotion, but it is a deep sense of satisfaction in knowing our purpose in this life, and where we
are going in the next. It is a delight in a Holy God, which produces a cheerful conversation with all those around us. It is not a self-produced formal polite talk, but flows naturally from a heart that is overflowing with love and compassion for others. The next fruit is peace, peace with God and peaceable towards all people. It keeps the peace wherever possible, and seeks to restore peace whenever it is broken. The next fruit is patience, having a willingness to bear offenses without getting angry. The next fruit is kindness/goodness, being ready to do good at every opportunity. The next fruit is faithfulness, to be honest and just in what we profess and promise to others. Faithfulness means your yes is yes and your no is no. The next fruit is gentleness, a courteous and even temperament even when we are wronged. The last fruit on the tree is self-control, which is taking care of ourselves and not over-indulging in the enjoyments of life, not too many cherries or anything else! These spiritual fruits are not available at any price, nor can we obtain them on our own. They are more satisfying than anything we could pick off the tree, and are absolutely free for those who will receive them from God. They are the fruits that are preparing us for the real paradise, which is in heaven. What is your tree, your life producing? Is it time for a change?
