District hires new planning director JOANNE LAYH

PEACHLAND VIEW The District of Peachland got a new director of planning and development services. The vacancy

left by Dave Smith was filled by Corine (Cory) Gain, a planner with experience working in several other B.C. communities, including Kelowna. Gain has a major in geography and a minor in economics.

That education is complemented by courses in small business development, as well a professional specialization certificate in local government management from the University of Victoria. She is

also a member of the Canadian Institute of Planners, a registered professional planner, and on the executive board of Interior chapter of the Planning Institute of B.C.

Chamber president Rob Campbell resigns from board JOANNE LAYH

PEACHLAND VIEW A new business opportunity led former Peachland Chamber of Commerce president Rob Campbell to resign from his leadership

role on the chamber board.

Campbell, who had served as the president of the chamber for nearly six years, offered his resignation to the board in early February 2014.

Following Campbell’s

resignation, the chamber board of directors voted and accepted Patrick Van Minsel as the interim president. A new board was elected in May, with local realtor Dave Collins elected as president, with Van

Minsel appointed to the position of executive director.

Campbell’s new business operates as the Canadian distribution arm for an Australian manufacturer of specialty lighting, which

keeps him out of town often enough that it became no longer possible to continue his role with the chamber.

Campbell’s resignation was effective January 28, 2014.

Fire destroys Brent Road mansion JOANNE LAYH

PEACHLAND VIEW About 20 Peachland firefighters battled the Brent Road house fire on May 12. However, with the structure already fully involved before it was even reported, the home unfortunately couldn’t be saved.

The house on the westside of Okanagan Lake near Antlers Beach was fully engulfed in flames when fire crews arrived at around 4:45 that morning.

Assistant fire chief James Springer said in an interview with The View that the structure was difficult to access so

YEAR IN REVIEW

May

16 firefighters ended up using Peachland and West Kelowna’s water tenders to shuttle water to the house.

“The house was fully involved so it was a defensive fire.

With two and a half inch lines we were able to maintain a water source with our tenders and we are still out mopping up,” Springer said. “It was a large timber frame house with very large beams in it and some of them have burnt

through and collapsed and some of the suspended slab has collapsed in on itself. We’re still out there dealing with that and because of the size and location of it, we have difficult access getting to the seat of it so we’ll be out there for a while.”

The residents of the home were apparently out of the country at the time of the fire, according to Springer.

While fire crews were on site, some of the surrounding grass caught fire and had to be put out and a nearby home also caught fire but was able to be saved.

While the house was located outside the District of Peach-

TANYA NORTHCOTT

land, in September 2007 Brent Road residents entered into a five-year fire protection agreement with the district. The agreement expired

last year and was renewed for another five years.

As part of the fire protection agreement, Brent Road residents pay a fire

tax to the regional district, which is calculated at the same rate Peachland residents pay. The taxes are paid to the regional district, and

then reimbursed to the District of Peachland.

Springer said the cause of the fire was undetermined at that time.

Canada Post Contract #41127536

Last Friday was the last sitting day of 2014 for the House of Commons as the House breaks for the holiday and allows Members of Parliament time to be back in their home ridings before the session resumes in January of 2015.

However, as is often the case while the House of Commons rises, the Canadian senate continues to sit for a number of additional days and on Tuesday evening of last week nine bills became law as royal assent was received on Bills C-45, S-211, S-5, C-483, C-442, C-428, C-43, C-525 and C-266.

What are these new laws?

Bill C-45 is a government bill and in this instance is an appropriations act. Bill S-5 is a senate bill, an act to amend the Nááts’ihch’oh Nation-

al Park Reserve Act. Bill C-43 is a government bill and also the government’s Economic Action Plan budget for 2014.

A number of private member’s bills also received royal assent, including Bill C-483, an act to amend the Corrections and Conditional Release Act. This act is an administrative one that transfers the authority to authorize a temporary escorted absence of a criminal convicted of first and second degree murder (within three years of full parole eligibility) to the Parole Board of Canada as opposed to a prison warden, as is the current situation.

Proponents of this bill have suggested there is greater accountability to victims when the Parole Board of Canada is the authorizing authority in these types of situations.

Bill S-211 is the

National Health and Fitness Day Act, which is sponsored

by B.C. Senator Nancy Greene-Raine.

It is a private member’s bill first tabled in the senate that designates the first Saturday in June as a day to promote increased participation

Dan Albas, MP in fitness and sports activities.

Bill C-442 was sponsored by B.C. MP and Green Party leader Elizabeth May, and is the Federal Framework on Lyme Disease Act. This is a bill I voted in support of and also heard strong support

from a number of constituents across Okanagan-Coquihalla.

Bill C-428 is the Indian Act Amendment and Replacement Act, and is the first private members bill passed by a First Nations MP in the history of the House of Commons.

I voted in support of this bill and wrote about it in my December 30 MP report of last year.

The final two bills passed this week were both private members bills as well. Bill C-525 is the Employees’ Voting Rights Act that provides for a democratic private ballot in matters of unionization and decertification under federal jurisdiction.

Finally Bill C-266, the Pope John Paul II Day Act, designates that April 2 of each year be recognized as Pope John Paul II Day. This bill does not propose that April 2 would be a holiday,

but rather a day to recognize some of the achievements of Pope John Paul II in promoting freedom and human rights.

Some of these bills were strongly supported by all sides of the House of Commons while others were only supported by a small majority of votes.

From my perspective, while it is often disagreement that most defines the House of Commons, the fact that a First Nations MP and also the leader of the Green Party with a caucus of just two Members of Parliament have introduced private member’s bills that have become law is evidence of the fact that diversity and debate remain healthy and vibrant in our Canadian parliament.

At times there will be disagreement but across party lines there can also be consensus as Members of

Parliament do work together in support on common areas of concern.

While it is often common to focus on the challenges and conflicts, it should not be forgotten that collectively over the years our parliamentary democracy, in spite of the many flaws and shortcomings, has consistently helped to create the great country of Canada.

It has been a privilege to represent the good people of Oka naga n-Coquihalla over this past session that has also been a very productive one.

As always I welcome your comments, questions and concerns. I can be reached at Dan.Albas@parl.gc.ca or toll free at 1-800-6658711.

BCTF strikes tentative deal with province LYONEL DOHERTY

SPECIAL TO THE PEACHLAND VIEW with files from Erin Christie

School District 23 chair Moyra Baxter told The View she was incredibly relieved after hearing news of the tentative agreement between B.C. teachers and the government, which saw students heading back to school on September 8, after a three and half month teachers’ strike.

“As soon as I heard those words, I jumped out of bed,” Baxter wrote in a letter to The View.

“This has been a dispute wrought with misinformation, acrimonious statements, conflicting information, and lack of respect on both sides. Only when the sides decided to get together behind closed doors with a media blackout was there a cause for optimism. It appears that it worked.”

Teresa Rezansoff, president of the B.C. School Trustees Association, said the

tentative deal was great news YEAR IN REVIEW for students, parents, teachers, administrators, support staff and trustees.

“The immediate goal is to get students back in classes as quickly as possible. We must then focus on the critical work of strengthening our public education system and rebuilding trust,” Rezansoff said.

In a news conference on September 2 B.C. Premier Christy Clark said a negotiated settlement is a “remarkable achievement after 30 years of dysfunction.”

Clark confirmed the six-year proposed contract, which will give teachers and the government time to improve education for students.

The premier said the tentative deal

would give teachers a fair wage increase and an investment in classroom composition and teacher support. She stressed that all of this comes without raising taxes or putting the government in a deficit position.

Responding to questions about outstanding legal issues, Clark said the agreement would allow the government to settle grievances. But she stated the existing court case (on bargaining rights) would continue.

Snowstorm leaves 6,000 residents without power ERIN CHRISTIE EDITOR

editor@peachlandview.com

It was all hands on deck on the evening of November 25 as reports of power outages across the Thompson-Okanagan and Shuswap districts flooded in to B.C. Hydro.

The outage, which ripped through the valley around 8 p.m. that evening, left more than 6,000 customers between Lake Country and the Shuswap in the dark and cold. According to B.C. Hydro’s community relations manager, Dag Sharman, as of 3:15 November 26, there were approximately 73 separate outages within the catchment area. Sharman told

most residents in the south end of town or outskirts YEAR IN REVIEW of Summerland to be restored until 8 p.m. on November 26.

The incident underscored West Kelowna mayor Doug Findlater’s proposal to Peachland council on November 25, requesting their support in his appeal to B.C. Hydro for a second transmission line for the region.

Sharman told The View that wouldn’t necessarily have helped on November 25.

The View the massive outage was caused by wind and heavy snowfall, which resulted in the breaking of many trees and

power lines coming down. In Peachland Sharman estimated there were 2,300 residents without power and didn’t expect

can actually prove detrimental to human health.

Exercise is beneficial any time of the year, but it can be especially so during the winter months when colder temperatures force many people inside, where they live more sedentary lifestyles than they

do during the rest of the year. Adapting your exercise habits in the winter can help you make it through the colder months in great shape.

There is no reason to stop exercising when the temperature drops. Working out in the cold weather has distinct advantages

over working out in hot and humid conditions. When the weather is cold, you may be able to work out longer and harder because the heat won’t zap your energy levels, and exercising outdoors in the winter is a great way to get small doses of sunlight that can improve

mood and help your body produce more vitamin D. Exercise can help boost your immune system, which can help you fight colds and flu symptoms.

Just a few minutes of exercise each day can help prevent simple viral and bacterial infections as well.

Working out in the winter may help you burn more calories than in warmer seasons. Research found that race times are faster in cold weather than in warmer temperatures. Quicker runs or walks can burn more calories.

If exercising outdoors is too un-

comfortable, break up your routine into smaller, more manageable sessions. Aim for 10-minute sessions several times per day.

This can quickly add up to the 30 minutes of daily recommended exercise. Dress in layers so you can feel comfortable, adjusting your clothing as necessary. You don’t want to be freezing, but you don’t want to wear so many clothes that you start sweating and risk hypothermia.

Consider less traditional exercises when winter sets in.

These include shoveling snow, sledding, skating, skiing, and snowshoeing.

New food bank opens on schedule New Monaco development moving forward

December

ERIN CHRISTIE

PEACHLAND VIEW

October

It was the sigh of relief heard around the valley as New Monaco vice president of development Mark Holland received the news that massive development could move forward on October 14.

The Nanaimo-based project manager was on hand for the evening council meeting where the project received final reconsideration and adoption in a unanimous vote.

“This was a big day for us,” Holland told The View during a brief interview after the meeting.

“As low key as it all was tonight, we’re very excited.

And we really credit council, staff and the community for working with us and collaborating with us on this over the years.”

The development, which Holland referred to as a “commercial village,” will support 2,800 residential units and 250,000 square feet of commercial, retail and cultural development.

The commercial element will be composed of shopping, restaurants, food markets, offices, a medical centre, arts facilities, a 100-room, full service hotel, seniors housing and public spaces, which will be build out over the next 15-20 years, depending on market conditions.

To ensure the spaces are filled, New Monaco officials have begun recruiting a variety of prospective commercial tenants the to lease space in the village, but until October 14, had been legally unable to sign any prelease agreements.

“We’ve been out talking to different companies,” Holland told The View during a brief interview after the meeting.

“Tech companies, food companies, boutiques, and we’ve got a lot of interest. But prior to tonight it was illegal to sign any lease deals. So we’re really excited to move ahead.”

The agreement, which Habitat officials made with council earlier this year, also included the waiving of costly development fees and permits, development cost charges (DCCs) and community amenity contributions.

Awesome.

That’s how Judy Bedford felt after seeing the Peachland Food Bank open at its new location on 5th Street on December 15.

Her sentiments were echoed by Habitat for Humanity’s executive director Deborah Guthrie, who joined Bedford as well as a handful of town officials and volunteers in celebrating the opening at a lunchtime reception held inside the new facility.

“If you saw what this place looked like when we started working on it four months ago, you wouldn’t believe it was the same the building,” Guthrie recalled.

“It’s really remarkable.”

Family making plans to honour former councillor ERIN CHRISTIE EDITOR

editor@peachlandview.com

JEAN FRASER Peachland’s flags flew at half mast as news spread of the passing of former municipal councillor Jean Fraser.

Fraser, who was known for her strength and passion for the community, died at Kelowna General Hospital on Monday, December 8, at the age of 85, of natural causes.

Fraser represented the town of Peachland on municipal council from 1995 to 2011 and spent several years working at the district office as the director of corporate services.

She also served as a trustee on the district school board between 1993 and 1996.

Councillor Peter Schierbeck served with Fraser during her last term and remembers her fondly as a strong voice, a dedicated councillor and a passionate advocate of the community.

“She was a great lady,” Schierbeck recalled.

“She loved this town.”

Fraser’s family is planning a public memorial service and will schedule it for some time early this year.
