MOTI grants conditional approval for third access and more lights By Joanne Layh The mood was warm and relaxed between Ponderosa developer, Treegroup, and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI), with the announcement that MOTI has granted conditional approval for a third access from Highway 97 to Ponderosa, as well as numerous road upgrades in Peachland, including additional sets of lights. The announcement came at the June 16 reconvened public hearing held again at the Peachland Community Centre. The public hearing began on May 26, but had to be adjourned until a later date, pending approval of a third access. A third access to Highway 97 from the development site is a key requirement from the District of Peachland and without it the commitment between the District and the developer had been stalled. “They’ve been very diligent since we last met, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, they’ve been very cooperative and they’ve been very focused and what we’ve been able to come forward with I think is something that will be of benefit to Peachland for many, many decades to come,
” Keith Funk of New Town Planning said. Council will give the zoning and official community plan bylaws relating to the Ponderosa/Pincushion development a third reading on June 22, which, if carried, will stand as a serious commitment between the District of Peachland and Treegroup. From there, weeks and probably months of negotiations will take place between the parties before the bylaws are finally adopted. Two phases of proposed road upgrades were also presented at the public meeting, set to take place by 2015 and 2020, respectively. Road upgrades for phase 1 include: • Princeton/Highway 97 – left turn phase added and light timing change; • Development access – traffic signal light; • Ponderosa/13th Street – consolidated access, traffic signal light, and localized 4-lane for turns; • Clements/Highway 97 – protected ‘T’ intersection with left turn merge to Hwy 97; and • Highway 97 – widen to 4 lanes 200m West of Ponderosa to 300 m East of Clements.
Road upgrades for phase 2 include: • Princeton/Highway 97 – southbound right turn lane 50m, eastbound left turn signal phase and eastbound left lane of 200 m; • Development access – 4-lane Highway 97 300m both ways; • Ponderosa/13th Street – increase signal timing; and • Clements/Highway 97 – traffic signal light. In an interview following the public hearing, the View asked Okanagan Shuswap district manager for MOTI, Murray Tekano, if the approval to increase Highway 97 in Peachland to 4 lanes in some areas might be indicative of a greater plan for the highway in Peachland. “These lanes are just there to accommodate the volume,” Tekano said. “If you look at the phasing, the way it’s proposed, you’ll understand that. The Ponderosa to Clements section, for example, is to allow for the traffic to be able to queue at signals and perform properly and efficiently leaving those signals. It’s got nothing to do with four-laning in that regard.”

Centennial Way
Centennial Way groundbreaking ceremony set for June 21 By Joanne Layh Work on the Beach Avenue multi-use pathway (now called Centennial Way in honour of Peachland’s recent 100th anniversary) is set to begin with a groundbreaking ceremony on Monday, June 21. Join Mayor Keith Fielding, MLA Bill Barisoff and possibly MP Stockwell Day for the ceremony, which will take place at Swim Bay between 10 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. The project contractor, Cantex Okanagan Construction Ltd., will also be on site to offer project information. Those attending the outdoor groundbreaking event can also look forward to watermelon and cookies. “We welcome members of the public to meet the
ADULT DAY SERVICES Interior Health offers a wonderful Day Program for seniors living independently in their homes who could benefit from assistance with mobility, socialization and recreation. We also offer respite for caregivers who may need a day to rest and recharge while their family member attends the program. The Peachland Retirement Centre is home to the Adult Day Program: Wednesday and Friday from 9:30 am – 2:30 pm. A fee of $4.00 includes a hot lunch. Referrals through Community Care. For more information please call 250-980-1452. Please join us for an Open House on Friday June 25th from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm for coffee and tasty treats.
project team, learn about the project timing and help celebrate our vision for the future,” Mayor Fielding says. “The extension of the Beach Avenue pathway will enhance our unique beachfront community, providing a scenic, safe and environmentally sound pathway along the length of Beach Avenue.” Peachlanders should be happy to know that none of the project will be funded through taxation. Two-thirds of the funding will come from Federal and Provincial grants, while the remaining amount will be funded through Development Cost Charges (DCC’s). Centennial Way will offer a 1.2 kilometre extension to the existing pathway along the beachfront, which will include a green belt of plants and energy-efficient lighting. The majority of the pathway will be completed by November of 2010. Under the terms of the grant, the entire project must be complete by March 31, 2011.

2035 transit plan hardly innovative By Joanne Layh Recently, BC Transit held a series of open houses in the Central Okanagan to present to the public the future of transit, a proposed transit network slated for 2035. The graphics on their open house advertising and marketing materials show a train right in the middle of other transport modes. Rail is coming to the Okanagan! Alas, not. The cutting-edge innovation BC Transit has planned for 2035? Faster bus service. For Peachland, this means a regional express bus service will connect with West Kelowna as it does now, only in 25 years time, you’ll get there faster because there will be less stops along the way. BC Transit representatives couldn’t say whether access to the Ponderosa/Pincushion development would be offered by 2035. The only reference to Peachland on the network design is a regional express bus line that follows from West Kelowna to
Peachland, right along where Highway 97 exists today. When asked if that location reflects future plans of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI), BC Transit senior urban transportation planner, Michelle Orfield, had this to say: “MOT is involved in this process, for sure. [Okanagan Shuswap district manager for MOTI] Murray Takano is on our steering committee.” Though she says they haven’t discussed the highway specifically, Orfield told the View, “We [BC Transit] are in continuous conversations with MOT about their future plans and how that affects transit.” According to the 2006 Census, only 3 per cent of people in Kelowna use transit to get around, making it even less popular than walking (5 per cent) as a mode of transportation. Whether HOV lanes and the promise of faster buses in 25 years is enough incentive to persuade people to give up their car or walking shoes will remain to be seen.
The proposed Central Okanagan 25 Year Transit Network
Boil water advisory issued and lifted By Joanne Layh On Thursday, June 10, a Boil Water Notice was issued by District of Peachland director of operations, Doug Allin. The notice followed readings of increased turbidity in Deep Creek over the previous night. Boil Water Notices are issued when there is a “poor” rating on the turbidity index. When a boil water notice is issued, Interior Health recommends that all customers drink boiled water or a safe alternative until further notice. Allin later lifted the boil water notice on Monday, June
14, returning the water quality to “fair” status, which means that drinking boiled water or a safe alternative is now recommended only for the following groups: • Children; • The elderly; • People with weakened immune systems; or • Anyone seeking additional protection. For those groups, water intended for drinking, washing fruits or vegetables, making juice or ice, or brushing teeth should be boiled for one minute. For more information, visit www.peachland.ca, where turbidity is updated daily.
Tussock moth spray program complete By Joanne Layh After several delays due to poor weather conditions, aerial spraying for Douglas-fir tussock moth on public and private lands in the Trepanier area of Central Okanagan West Electoral Area (including Trepanier Greenway and Coldham Regional Parks) is now complete. On the morning of June 15, The Regional District of Central Okanagan
(RDCO) and Ministry of Forests and Range applied the licensed biological pesticide Foray 48B (active ingredient B.t.k.). The pesticide was applied to prevent further cases in the region of a health condition called Tussockosis. Hairs on the Douglas-fir tussock moth can cause Tussockosis, which can result in itchiness, watery eyes and skin rashes in dogs, horses and humans.

$1,300,000 to complete the project. The business plans and ongoing annual cost to the taxpayer need to be made clear. A clear referendum question on the disposition of the Primary School should be included in our byelection. Richard Wachal

Peaches and lifetime members by Judy Wyper
During the infancy of the Peachland Wellness Centre (PWC), around 2001, a volunteer painted a peach tree on one of the walls in the little house and covered it with peaches. The PWC received many donations from individuals, and their names were placed on the peaches. Phyllis Papineau remembers the early days. “We were desperate for funds and this seemed warmer and more creative than a patron board. Originally, we each gave $500 for a peach but Jerry Dober asked if we could lower it to $100 so that he and others could contribute because the Wellness Centre meant so much to them.” Over time, the peach tree was covered with donors’ names and read as a tangible indicator of support by the community. By the end of 2009, with diligent washing of the walls, some of the peaches and names were deteriorating. The whole wall was repainted to match the rest of the room and Richard Smith, our local artist, generously donated his artistic abilities, time and materials to paint a new tree. Archival photos of the first tree ensured that the original names could be replaced along with names of recent donors. At the top of the new tree are a few golden peaches that distinguish six lifetime members who were publically acknowledged at the June 11 PWC Tea. Jerry Dober was posthumously recognized. He established the Sunday Breakfast, a small enterprise, which continues. This program has been renamed the Jerry Dober Sunday Breakfast in his memory. Phyllis Papineau was instrumental in
starting the PWC. Along with others, she saw that the community needed a wellness centre where people could go for help. For several years her passion, tenacity, and vision guided the society and attracted key individuals. Gene Zaporzan worked in the initial renovation of the building. He was a tireless volunteer who located over $10,000 worth of donated materials. For a long time he found the best prices for groceries for the Sunday Breakfast, kept the accounts, and continued to help with building repairs. Linda Tyreman embraced the idea of a wellness centre right from the start, joined the Board of Directors and eventually was employed to help run the facility and support the programs. She continues to volunteer and currently job shares as Facility Coordinator, keeping her hands on the pulse of the society. Gordie McBryan was there at the start, helping in the renovation of the building and to this day he continues to be Linda’s right hand man, helping and repairing. Jim McNickle has been a very generous supporter. Papineau reminisces, “The tree represented the struggle to keep the Wellness Centre going. It was such a challenge in the beginning to prove to the community and Council that it was worthwhile. Those people who contributed to the tree showed they had faith in us and our vision. Some gave in memory of loved ones who have since passed on.” The Peach Tree continues to grow across the wall. We are grateful to the community for their support.

News from the Chamber By Darlene Hartford Lights, camera, action! All were a go at a recent Peachland broadcast by West Coast Escapes, a TV series that discovers properties, resorts and hidden gems along the west coast from Alaska to British Columbia. Acclaimed producer, John Lovelace, produced onsight footage at Trepanier Manor for the season opener to be premiered on September 9, 2010. The focus of the show is to promote the Okanagan as a great west coast getaway. Trepanier Manor was selected by West Coast because it is presently selling homes to a wider target audience and will provide, when completed, a privately owned and operated small luxury hotel with full service residence club amenities. Other featured Peachland businesses in the premier show are Tony Wright Tree Services, who cleared the site for the manor, Bliss Bakery and Bistro, who provided baked goods for the TV crew, Gill Barry Excavating, Paradise Sand and Gravel, R&L Trucking, and Loopykums Ponds. “Lisa Dudgeon of Cardan Enterprises, who are building the luxury homes at Trepanier Manor, was the main star of the show,” states Megan MacKenzie, PR representative for the manor. “John Lovelace grilled Lisa about building in the valley and why people were buying and building here.” The production crew is expected back in August but this time will be inconspicuous as they flying over for aerial footage. Additional footage was taken in the Peachland and Kelowna area, with the pilot filming so watch West Coast Escapes on September 9 to find out who else took part! Currently Peachland has no hotel to accommodate 150 or provide guests with spa services, a fitness room and salon under one roof. However at one time Peachland had the designation of being B&B Capital of Canada on a per capita basis. Stats have changed over the years but the number and uniqueness of Peachland’s accommodators continue to excel. Bed & Breakfasts are a desirable form of accommodation for the very fact that each offers something different from the other. Pet-friendly accommodation is often difficult to find, but look no farther than our back door to find Casa Serene or It’s
A Dog’s World, who offers not only a pet bed but also grooming services. Duck & Pug is approved as a Tourism Pet Friendly accommodation and follows strict tourism requirements such as designated pet dishes, beds and a patch of grass for Fido with each unit. Family oriented accommodators with unique kid experiences are Resting Turtle, Working Horse Winery & Inn, and Davis Cove Resort. The ultimate in garden settings can be found at A Pointe of View, Hollyhock Lane and Beach Avenue B&B. If it’s space and amenities you want for that extended vacation check out Brendale Suite, Peachland Lakeview Suites, Clarence View Guest Suite, Cherryhill and Westaways Water Walk. If the budget allows for homey and friendly, visit Blue Waters or if you’re looking for 4-star ratings and more visit Okanagan Oasis, and Juicy Peach. EnerQi B&B offers a retreat with spa, hot tub and sauna for four while sharing the same spectacular view as Okanagan Breeze and Lakebend. Once settled into the appropriate location, discover what Peachland has to offer in addition to an 11 km beach with a lifeguard and easy water access for people with disabilities. Those into adventure will want a quad experience with Okanagan ATV Tours. Animal lovers will enjoy and appreciate the sanctuary at Parrot Island. Hikers and walkers will look to the new Westside guide for trails for all ages and abilities. Day programs at the Public Library, Peachland Recreation Centre, and Boys and Girls Club will be sought after. Experience a bit of history at Peachland Museum or take the self-guided Historic Walk downtown. Check out the Visitor Centre for that brochure! Unique boutiques and restaurants with ethnic foods or traditional Canadian burgers will beckon. Then on Sunday tea and art will complete the day after a morning at the Farmers and Crafters Market. Whether you’re planning for guests or want to experience your own hometown, find a space on a patio, dock, pebbled beach or in the hills surrounding Peachland, then breathe deep, and experience life at its best.

Realtor Roger W. Cyr's Paper Shredding Day drew in a good haul of non-perishables and $153 cash for the Peachland Food Bank earlier this month. Stephani and Paul of Okanagan Paper Shredding (shown on right) shredded approximately 2,000 lbs. of paper, making this the Roger W. and Susan Cyr's (shown on left) biggest Paper Shredding Day ever. Combined with the cash they received at the World of Wheels for the shuttle bus, Roger has raised over $1,200 for the Food Bank so far this year.

true. Each person grieves in their own way and in their own time. Grief is a very natural reaction to loss – showing grief doesn’t make us weak. It is very important to let the feelings out, face the loss and deal with the pain. No matter how you choose to grieve, there’s no one right way to do it. The grieving process is a gradual one that lasts longer for some people than others. There may be times when you worry that you’ll never enjoy life the same way again, but this is a natural reaction after a loss. Loss can be very stressful and it is very important to take care of yourself. Here are some things that might help: • Remember, grief is a normal emotion. You can and will heal over time; • Participate in rituals. Memorial services, funerals and other traditions can help with the healing; • Be with others. Even informal gatherings can bring a sense of support and reduce feelings of isolation; • Talk about it when you can or are ready. Some people find it helpful to tell the story of their loss or talk about their feelings. Others don’t feel like talking, and that’s okay. Don’t feel pressured to talk; • Express yourself. Even if you don’t feel like talking, find healthy ways to express your emotions and thoughts. Write music, poetry or journal. This can be private or shared with others; • Exercise. Exercise can help with your mood. It may be hard to get motivated, so modify your usual routine if need-
By Ana Frias In reflection of the recent tragedy in Peachland and other events in the Okanagan, I felt it would be appropriate to focus my column this month on the topic of grief and loss. All of us will be touched by loss in our lives and losing someone or something you love can be very painful. Grief is this emotional pain that we feel after experiencing a loss and any loss, including subtle ones, can be difficult. The feelings and emotions that surface – shock, anger, guilt, sadness (to name a few) – are all natural responses to loss. People can react emotionally, physically and spiritually to a loss. Some common reactions to a loss are: • Emotional outbursts, mood swings, hyper alertness, memory loss, antisocial behaviours; • Feelings of shame, guilt, depression, fear, panic, numbness; • Recurring thoughts or memories, withdrawal; • Increased heart rate, blood pressure, sweating; • Nausea, dizziness, weakness, bloating/ gas, slower digestion; • Tension headaches, difficulty sleeping, loss of bladder/bowels, nightmares, crying, regressive behaviours; and • Questioning beliefs. Remember, these are all usual or normal reactions to any type of loss. Myths, such as ignoring pain will help it go away faster, or the importance of “staying strong” to protect others from the grief, are just not
ed; • Eat right. You may feel like skipping meals, but your body still requires the nutrition; • Let your emotions be expressed and released. Don’t stop yourself from having a good cry. Don’t worry if activities, songs, etc. are painful because they bring back memories of the loss; this is common. After a while, it becomes less painful; and • Create a memorial or tribute. Plant a tree or garden, paint a picture, write a poem, or memorialize the person in some fitting way (for example participating in a cancer awareness event) in honour of a lost loved one. If time has passed and you find that your grief isn’t letting up or turns into an ongoing depression, you may want to reach out for some help. Here are some signs you may want to ask for some extra help: • You’ve been grieving for 4 or more months and you aren’t feeling any better; • You feel depressed; • Your grief is so intense that you cannot concentrate, sleep, eat or socialize as you normally would; or • You feel you can’t go on living after the loss or you think about suicide, dying, or hurting yourself. Counseling can help because it allows you to talk about your loss and express strong feelings. If you’d like to talk to a therapist and you’re not sure where to begin, you could ask your parent or guard-

ian, a relative, family physician, school counsellor, a teacher, a support worker or a youth worker for suggestions. And if a loss has caused you to think about suicide or hurting yourself in some way, or you feel like you can’t go on living, it’s important that you tell someone right away. If you are supporting someone who is grieving, here are some things to try: • Listen carefully; • Spend time with the person; • Offer your assistance and listening ear, even if they haven’t asked for help; • Reassure them that they are safe; • Help them (don’t replace them) with daily tasks like cleaning, caring for family and minding children; • Give them some private time; • Don’t take their anger or other feelings personally; and, • Don’t say things like, “You’re lucky it wasn’t worse” or other such statements; people are not consoled by those statements. Instead, tell them you are sad such an event occurred and that you want to understand and support them. Remember, the grieving process is very personal and individual – there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Take the time you need to heal and let yourself experience any emotions. Healing doesn’t mean you have to forget about the loss and getting back to enjoying your life doesn’t mean you no longer miss a loved one. With time, and loving support of family and friends, you can find ways to cope with your loss.

Unity in Community By Lillian McLeod Peachland is a community of diverse people, some who have lived here for many years and many that have moved here from other parts of the province, the country and the world. These people offer a diversity of gifts and talents. We are a community with some common interests and common concerns, even though we realize that we all come from a different place in our life journey. We were all created for a purpose. As a result, we all have uniqueness and special gifts. In order to live the best life, we need to use those gifts for the good of all. Therefore we need to do the best we can in all aspects of our lives. We need to work with others and respect their input. When we are born we are hard-wired for relationships, be they with family, friends, co-workers, etc. Relationships are the most important part of our lives. The community we live in provides these relationships for us as we seek to make our community a better place to live in for all those who live here. One of the most important aspects of living in community is respecting all opinions and ideas. Critical to working together in a community is proper communication. If we fail to communicate, we fail to understand. We need to listen with an open mind and an open heart. Then based on our fact-finding and understand-
ing, we need to discern what we truly feel is best for all of us - not what is best for me or what is best for you – but what is best for all together. Then we need to work together in a respectful way using all the gifts we have to reach a consensus. For that we need to use teamwork. Failure to do so can result in a division in a community. Very often we hear something different than what is being said. At some point, people get downright mean, vindictive, unkind, and unloving. We think they have ulterior motives and as a result, we harbor bad feelings for those we don’t agree with and these feelings hurt us more than they hurt others. Resentment builds up a poison in our own system that eats at us. These hurts can take forever to mend. We need to come to a place where we can be open, listen and discern and then perhaps agree to disagree and we will disagree. This does not mean that the other person is wrong or that we are entirely wrong. It may be just a case of understanding and discerning what is best for all. In a community, we tend to get wrapped up in our own agendas. We need to discern what we are doing and determine if we are doing it for the right reason. If we are doing something that glorifies our ego, then we have forgotten that we live in community. Life is too short to live with regrets, and in the heat of the moment, we may do something we will regret.
We are put here to love one another and treat everyone the way we would like to be treated. In life, and in community, we should consider and follow the three R’s: respect for self, respect for others, and responsibility for all your actions. Many things are happening in our community. It can be an exciting time. Think about what you want to participate in and arm yourself with the proper information so you can make more meaningful choices – choices made with love, compassion, understanding and contribution. Be thankful for all that you have and do not destroy relationships and community with a few unkind and uninformed words. Are we in Peachland a community? Do we want the best for our community or do we just want what we think is best for our ego and for us? Do we in Peachland have unity? Are we grateful for all the talents we have here and rejoice in them or are we resentful or unjustly critical if them because they do not always do what we think they should do or what we want them to do? Are we willing to ensure our criticism and comments are factual and respectful enough to put our names on what we believe? Do we understand that we cannot always have our own way? Do we realize that sometimes our way is not the only way and perhaps not necessarily the right way? Would people believe we are good, loving, caring people by the way we act? We can have unity. We can work as one if we make up our minds to do it. We are all special people with special gifts and talents. Let us use them. The road we travel is a road leading us into the future, which depends on the decisions we make. Let us make this journey as informed, respectful, loving, caring people building relationships and unity in our community.
