Ponderosa public hearing adjourned until MOTI approves access

At the May 26 Ponderosa development public hearing, the pressure was on Okanagan Shuswap district manager for the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI), Murray Tekano, to deliver approval for a third access to the Ponderosa/ Pincushion development.

Now that the boundary extension can proceed, the only thing holding district council back from giving the zoning and official community plan bylaws a third reading and approval is an assurance

from MOTI that they will approve the missing key component to the agreement – a third access from the development to Highway 97.

“We are very optimistic that MOTI will deliver an answer to us in the very near future,” Mayor Fielding said at the hearing, although he also expressed disappointment that no answer was offered prior to the public hearing.

Both Treegroup (the developer) and the District of Peachland were under the impression that MOTI were to deliver a response before the hearing, allowing a third reading to proceed

Treegroup chairman and C.E.O. Norm Porter expressed his frustration with the delays by saying, “We’ve gotten to the point where timing is everything right now . . . we have literally millions of dollars to spend in the next 16 months and we have to keep to our timeline that is somewhat climate-driven. We have to seed the golf course by late August in order to have some growth for next year. There’s no real point in developing infrastructure or building buildings if we don’t have an amenity in place. We’re under a real time crunch that is getting more serious.”

Tekano tried to deflect some of the blame back onto Treegroup, citing that a report submitted two days late caused that latest delay.

“We’re not under a time constraint because of those two days,” Porter responded. “We’re under a time constraint because of months of no response from the Ministry of Transportation. If we want to air that publicly, I think I’m going to air how important this is to the citizens we’ve heard tonight, how important it is to city council and how important it is to the proponent, ourselves. If this money is going to be spent and

this development is going to be successful, things are going to have to change in terms of what’s happening with the Ministry of Transportation,” Porter announced. Those remarks earned him a large round of applause from the public in attendance.

“I’m allowing about two weeks for us to look at this report that they’ve just given us and then give more comments on that,” Tekano told the View in an interview after the hearing, also stating that there will be more communication back and forth before a defi nitive answer about access is delivered.

soon after the hearing closed.

Instead, Tekano said it might be a couple more weeks yet before they have any kind of response to offer.

“The highway access is a key component of the public hearing and in the absence of that, even though we understand it’s around the corner and we can expect it in the near future, because we haven’t got it, it seems that the sensible thing to do . . . is to reconvene the public hearing as soon as we hear from MOTI and that will allow us to move directly ahead to the reading,” Mayor Fielding said.

June 3 targeted for tussock moth spraying

By Joanne Layh The Regional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO) has announced plans to begin an aerial pesticide spray application program to manage an infestation of the Douglas-fir tussock moth. Having obtained a Pesticide Use Permit issued by the Ministry of Environment, weather conditions and insect development permitting, the RDCO will spray on June 3 or on the next subsequent day that conditions allow.

The treatment will occur over approximately 1,060-hectares of public and private lands (with landowner consent), in several areas throughout the region, including the Trepanier Valley of the Central Okanagan West Electoral Area. The area

includes Coldham and Trepanier Greenway Regional Parks.

The treatment will target the Douglas-fir tussock moth, which appeared in Trepanier Valley last year in extreme populations. Douglas-fir tussock moth causes an allergic reaction in humans, dogs and horses, impacting about 1 in 5 people who are exposed to hairs on the moth. The allergic reaction is referred to as Tussockosis, and it is something that the RDCO is hoping to prevent in residents this year by applying the pesticide treatment.

The Pesticide Use Permit allows the RDCO to treat the area with biological pesticide Foray 48B (active ingredient B.t.k).

To minimize exposure to the aerial applica-

tion of the pesticide, the RDCO offers the following recommendations to residents and individuals in the treatment area, whether their property is sprayed or not: • Before treatment cover swimming pools, sand lots and put away children’s and pet toys; • If applicable, shelter pets and livestock and keep them out of the treatment area during spraying and at least 30 minutes afterward; • During spraying, stay indoors with windows and doors closed and for at least 30 minutes afterwards; • Persons with respiratory ailments or other health concerns may also wish to restrict their exposure to the products during any aerial spray application; • After aerial appli-

cation, residents within treatment areas should wash all fruit and vegetables from home gardens before eating; • Wipe down children’s play structures and any other structures used by children; and • Wash your automobile, house, boat or

trailer sooner rather than later for ease of treatment removal. The pesticide won’t cause damage, but if left to harden it may require more effort to remove.

The permit and maps for the spray program are available for viewing at the regional district

office, located at 1450 KLO Road in Kelowna.

The RDCO office is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., excluding holidays.

Blaze destroys Desert Pines home

Photo Contributed

By Joanne Layh Two residents of 3912 Desert Pines Avenue are dealing with the loss of their home after it was destroyed in a blaze early Monday morning.

Fire Chief Grant Topham said the structure fi re call came in at 6:35 a.m. that morning. “When I got to the house, the fl ames were through the roof on what we call the alpha bravo side of the house, which would be the east side of the house,�

Topham said. “It was fully engulfed in flames very shortly after that . . . The house was com-

pletely destroyed. The roof is burned right off of it right down to the main floor and in the basement part there is a lot of smoke and water damage. It’s pretty much a complete writeoff.�

Topham said it took about 45 minutes to knock the fi re back and several more hours to put out all the hot spots and mop up. A crew remained on the scene all afternoon on fi re watch. “Our crews worked very, very hard to put it out and they have to be commended for that.

They stayed for quite a long time after that to put everything back in

the truck and put everything back in order,�

Topham said.

Although the call came in over the long weekend, about 25 members and volunteers responded.

The cause of the fi re has not yet been determined. At press time, Peachland Fire and Rescue Service were scheduled to begin their investigation with insurance company investigators on Thursday.

Topham said the cause could be difficult to pinpoint because of the extent of the damage.

Both residents and their dog escaped the fi re safely.

Property tax notices in the mail

By Joanne Layh Peachland homeowners should be receiving their property tax notices in the mail any day now.

This year the average single-family dwelling will be assessed at $436,348, up $7,973 from last year.

The single-family dwelling tax increase over last year for the municipal portion is 2 per cent, however with higher assessment values and increases in amounts payable to other governments, taxpayers will be looking at a 5.6 per cent increase overall.

That means the average taxpayer will be paying $1389.67 in municipal taxes (including parcel taxes) and $1405.62 in taxes to other governments (such as School District 23), for a total of $2,795.29.

Included in the $1389.67 figure is a parcel tax for the water master plan project in the amount of $25.

While only 16.8 per cent of 2010 revenues will be drawn from property taxes, 93.7 per cent will be from residential properties, with only 5.1 per cent coming from commercial or business properties.

Missing from the property tax assessments this year is the solid waste assessment, which has been transferred to the quarterly utility bill.

Virtual City Hall The District of Peachland is now offering a new feature on the Peachland. ca website called Virtual City Hall. With a personal access code, Virtual City Hall allows homeowners to view detailed information about their utilities and property taxes. You can also apply for your Home Owner Grant for this year at Virtual City Hall. In addition, cemetery information can be accessed by the general public without the use of an access code.

Pay by July 2 Property taxes are due July 2, 2010. There will be a 10 per cent penalty on taxes unpaid after July 2.

Payment options include: • Cash; • Cheque; • Money order; • Interac; • Online banking; and • Telebanking.

Where the money will go The 2010 budget forecasts total revenue and expenditures of $18.13 million. Over $9 million was budgeted to go to capital spending, including: • Beach Avenue roadway and multi-use pathway ($1.68 million); • Towns for Tomorrow – Swim Bay improvements ($150,845); • Gateway to Princeton Avenue rock wall ($50,000); • Drought Road paving ($40,000); • Todd Road curb ($15,000); • Highway entrance signs ($30,000); • Storm drainage ($95,000); • Portable generator for district facilities ($69,909); • Primary School Upgrades ($200,000); and • Bush truck for the fire department ($155,120).

Budget figures will most likely be adjusted as they account for the building of a Curling Club and Multi-use Facility, however district staff have confirmed that none of the funding was designated to come from 2010 tax revenues, so there is no impact on resident’s tax bills.

SD23 to stick Peachland with $4,500 charge

By Joanne Layh Peachland pre-school children will be getting some new equipment to play on at Peachland Elementary School, but it will cost $4,500 more than anticipated now that School District 23 will be charging the District of Peachland to install the equipment.

At their most recent meeting, council passed a resolution supporting a grant application to the School Community Connections Program, which will offer matching funds for the purchase and installation of a preschool playground at the Peachland Elementary School. The district will contribute $9,000 for the equipment purchase as well as $4,500 in-kind labour, which the grant will match. The policy will bring the district into compliance with their licensing requirements that call for age-appropriate playground equipment.

The District of Peachland currently runs a licensed pre-school program at Peachland El-

ementary School and although the school district has indicated that they intend to take over preschool programming in the near future, they were unwilling to contribute any funding to the playground equipment. In addition, they will not allow the district to install the playground equipment, stating union obligations.

The school district also declined to provide their labour (estimated to cost $4,500) in-kind.

“The projected cost has increased quite a bit because we will have to end up paying the school district for their staff to install it,” explained chief administrative officer, Elsie Lemkie. “We’ll supply the labour for off-site assembly of the equipment and then deliver it to the school grounds. Then they have to install it. Apparently they won’t permit our crews to go onto their property to install the playground equipment.”

This information did not sit well with members of council at the Committee of the Whole meeting on May 25.

“I’m really upset that CUPE is saying we can’t do this,” Councillor Schierbeck said, “Our union is CUPE, it’s the same union. It’s a different local, I appreciate that, but I’m just wondering who is running who? Why are we allowing the unions to control and cost us, the District of Peachland people, all this money?

We’re not talking about eliminating any staff, we’re not talking about cutting anybody’s wages.

We’re just simply saying we should be able to do this and I really feel we should argue with CUPE . . . and say, ‘you’re barking up the wrong tree.’”

While council approved the recommendation to purchase the preschool equipment, they also agreed to send a letter to School District 23 outlining their concerns about this issue.

“I also feel quite angry about the absence of real commitment and contribution from the school district,” Councillor Condon said. “I really don’t think that they’ve gone out of their way to do anything for us here.”

Heritage Music Fest a success

Take a well-deserved bow Leverne Prozny, you did a fine job on the Heritage Music Festival held on Monday, May 24. You arranged two separate venues with live country music, on the wharf at 13th Street and on stage at Heritage Park downtown. It was a total success, with an estimated 400 people enjoying the music downtown and 100 more at the wharf, with help from Bliss Bakery.

Mayor Fielding cut the centennial cake with help from Portia, our Peachland Ambassador.

Todd’s RV and Campground helped sponsor the musicians where 17 Kelowna Old Time Fiddlers filled the stage at one point and even with dancing it survived.

A vintage telephone collection and great historic photo collection were added attractions at the park. At the museum special displays were inside and the Wellness Centre sold recipe books outside. Dave Morgenstern and his friend Monty put on a great show with gas engine washing machines. It was a big hit with the kids as they took turns using the washday equipment.

Thank you, Two Chefs Restaurant for sponsoring the Classic Cruise charter boat that made about 7 loaded trips on the $10 Ogopogo Island Cruise. We hope you come back again.

The crowd was very happy to test the food fare at all the Beach Avenue restaurants. Maybe next year, May 24 will be a Heritage Food and Music Festival.

When Don Wilson suggested a centennial for the old museum building, the Heritage Music Festival evolved as part of it, with the help from our small but energetic membership. It was a great family event. The View newspaper offered great financial and advertising support from the very beginning.

Thank you Municipal Council for your support of our first endeavour and your bylaw officer that went above and beyond to assist any way he could.

To the musicians, including Peachland’s own Peach Pickers, a big thank you to you all!

Good news for BC WEEKLY COMMENTARY BILL BARISOFF, MLA

There is some good news for Okanagan Lake anglers as there will again be a limited Kokanee trial fishery period beginning on May 29 and running until September 30. The daily quota will be five Kokanee per licensed angler, and only one fish over 30 cm is allowed. Enjoying our lakes though freshwater fishing is a great pastime for friends and families alike.

Please visit www.fishing. gov.bc.ca for further information.

In other good news, British Columbia’s May natural gas and petroleum sales resulted in over $75 million in added revenue pushing B.C.’s year to date royalty sales up over $200 million.

Richard Smith, Our crown resource sales Peachland Historical Society VP not only provide critical revenue to help fund our important social services

such as health and education, they also provide well paying jobs in regions throughout British Columbia. Given that the combined revenue from taxes like the HST, MSP Premiums and even B.C. personal income tax can no longer cover just the health care budget alone, the importance of our crown resources cannot be overstated.

Fortunately mining activity is again on the increase in British Columbia with copper mines currently under construction both in Kamloops and in Princeton, with a third near Prince George soon to get underway.

Another revenue source hopefully soon on the rise is in the forest sector where nine sawmills are currently re-opening after extended shutdowns. As a result of these and other signs of recent economic activity, many organizations and economists are predicting that British

Columbia will be one of Canada’s leading provinces in economic growth and recovery.

On a different subject, I am pleased to announce that the call for nominations for the Order of British Columbia has now been announced. The Order of British Columbia is our Province’s highest award for excellence and outstanding achievement.

Nominations for the Order of British Columbia can be found online at protocol.gov.bc.ca or through my constituency office.

Our region has many outstanding and deserving candidates for this award and I am encouraging local residents to become involved in the nomination process.

For the business community, Revenue Canada is again hosting two HST information sessions in Penticton on May 27. For further information please contact 1.888.691.4501 (toll-free).

They’re Watching Us WEEKLY COMMENTARY STOCKWELL DAY, MP Seriously. I don’t want you getting all paranoid, but it’s true. They are out there. And they are watching us. Closely.

I ran into them on my recent trade mission to China. And I actually saw them in Japan.

Spoke to them too.

Here’s the deal. It’s no secret that Japan, like most countries, is having money woes. Canada’s debt in dollars is about 32 per cent of the value of all the goods and services we produce, called the Gross Domestic Product, or GDP. The ratio in the USA of their debt to GDP is high, close to 80 per cent.

Japan’s? Their ratio of government debt to GDP is a whopping 200 per cent!

They need to bring it under control and they’re open to suggestions on how.

So that’s why they, and other countries, are watching us.

They are aware that we are on the pathway to a balanced budget by the year 2014. Their government officials met with us to go over the details of our plan. It was an honour for me to do so.

Let me give you a quick overview of how we intend to get there without ‘slashing and burning.’

First, all the operational spending of all federal government departments will be frozen at existing levels for the next 3 years. No new money.

We have also frozen all MP salaries and all travel and hosting budgets at 2009 levels for all departments.

Next, we are now designating all departments and agencies to

go through a special cost reduction exercise.

For the next 3 years on a rotating basis we are asking each one to come up with savings of 5 percent.

All levels of government need to get serious about freezing and reducing operational and administrative spending.

It’s the way to avoid a slippery (or should I say ‘Greecey’) slope.

This week was the Olympics of the Trades people in the Okanagan.

Local carpenter Devon Hamilton won the gold medal.

It was quite inspiring hearing from a number of these professional journeymen in a variety of trades talking about their love for their work and pride of their craft.

We salute our trades people and apprentices.

We’d be in a sorry state without their skills and hard labour.

Stunted and insular

Hooters? Really?

To the Editor: The usual insomnia gets me up where I decide to check the Peachland.ca website for referendum results. Absolutely astounding in some ways, but predictable in many others. This town that I came to in 1992 has changed in many ways but stayed the same too, like an old friend you haven’t seen for a while. So many things have been accomplished by various dedicated groups and determined individuals since then. I think of 4th Street Place, once a family-owned bowling lane that I frequented until it closed, now a home for our boxing club and Ambassadorial Society. The Little Schoolhouse was saved, restored and brought back to use. Our Wellness Centre, the beautiful walkways and tennis courts, the Swim Bay beach and concession are such a great draw for the big and little kids. I think about the Peachland Primary School, another saved building, the ultimate in recycling, which we look forward to being revitalized to house various worthwhile organizations. I think of the once-despised Peachland Mall and the Gateway, with condo homes and useful businesses housed in those two “new” buildings and about Treegroup’s plans for the new golf course and community at Pincushion. I think about all the people who took chances opening up shop here, the little restaurants and retail stores, only the very determined and prepared ones to keep going in the face of the competition north and south in larger communities. The people who dream up great things to see and do, like the Fall Fair, Al Wiebe’s World of Wheels, Reg Lawrence’s annual bike rodeo, The Valley Music Fest which morphed into Dancin’ Barefoot in the Park, all the people who volunteer to do anything they are asked of. These are the people who get up and do things and then there are the rest. The thing I mostly think about is that I am glad that the birth of some of these places and things were not put to referendum.

This little town, although vibrant and forward moving in many ways, has proved itself to be so stunted and insular in many others ways.

It is almost laughable. Peachland, the town that turned away an opportunity to add value to their community and their tourism base, wake up their winter doldrums, get off their duffs to play instead of watch, provide more employment, the town that in essence, gave a non-confidence vote to mayor and council, who all supported this plan, a town where many of the “no” voters rattle around in their large lake view homes moaning about their taxes and then leave town in the winter to spend their money elsewhere. There will always be those who wish to tread in stagnant waters, to be left alone, to change nothing. To the rest of you whitewater rafting types, keep your dreams, and one day before you die, you may get to take your kids or grandkids to Peachland’s new swimming pool, skateboard park, ice rink, movie theatre, or even, like nearly every town in BC, the local curling rink!

Sincerely, Laura L. Coris

Hooters? You gotta be kidding me! Dale, Dale, Dale. What can I say? Your crazy idea of locking Princeton Avenue off to the logging trucks was one bizarre thing you came up with, but a Hooters? Really?

Is that the theme you wish Peachland to incorporate? My 2 young sons were born here and are now being raised here, as are plenty of young wholesome families are trying to do in such a fine upstanding community. Please tell me you were kidding!

Oh, and P.S. - as residents of Princeton Avenue ourselves for the past 13 years, you should have been here when the Harley bike gang lived up top of Princeton - now that was loud! I would rather see the logging trucks running at night than in the day when traffic is heaviest.

All the best.

Terry Wiens, Peachland

Still barking up that tree Dear Editor, Are you kidding? Are you still barking up that tree? Every single businessminded person can see the venture for what it really is/was. Why are you still dancing to the puppet masters? This has nothing to do with taxes! It has to do with proper management. Why didn’t council ask the whole community what they wanted? Instead of what, 600 [people]? You imply that 2/3rds of the winning electoral are un/mis-informed and not able to come up with $34. I would have gladly paid $100 extra in taxes to have the whole community benefit. Maybe a skating rink and a fitness center (which I would have gladly paid $300 - $400 yearly in user fees), or even proper water treatment. Many agree. This would be profitable, just like the one in Summerland. How many kids save up their money for curling shoes and a broom? Maybe we should, as a community, enlighten these 600 or so to what the word “community” means, including and especially you, dear editor.

Come on, Peachland. Enough with all this negativity, warnings and gloating.

For the last 3 months or so, every time I pick up the View, all I see is letters from the naysayers who seem to dislike almost everything our council or other residents might suggest to do. You people have had your say! You know who you are. So as a citizen who voted “yes” in the referendum, all I have to say is when the next election comes around, we better see your names on the signs around town running for the positions you seem to be so critical of. And guess what? I am going to vote “no”!

World of Wheels - May 23, 2010 World of Wheels Show and Shine a big success

By: Darcy Nybo

It took months to arrange, a few hours to explore, and then it was over. The Peachland World of Wheels Show and Shine set new records for attendance and for vehicles on exhibit. Visitors from all over the Okanagan, BC, AB and even the US attended the show.

Bill Heinrich is a director with World of Wheels Show and Shine. He was pleased with the results. “It exceeded our expectations. There were at least 15,000 people who attended. That’s 5,000 more than we expected.

We had over 40 vendors selling everything from mini ice coolers to t-shirts and food. We talked to the Lions crew and they had sold out of food by the end of the day.

If everyone didn’t sell out, they were close to it.”

There were well over 550 registered vehicles out for the day

ranging from motorcycles to Minis to Mustangs and beyond.

Abe Regier had his 2003 Mustang GT at the show. “I love the Peachland car show. It’s done well and there is always a good choice of cars. I like that it is free to the public. As someone who had a car there for the show, from my end it was great. It took me five minutes to sign up and park and then I had the rest of the day to walk around and check out everyone else’s car.

They’ve never been rained out and this time was no exception.

They were very lucky.”

The day did not start out to be a dry one. Heinrich and his crew were being drenched with a 7:30 a.m. downpour. Fortunately lady luck was on their side.

Luck with the weather and volunteers are what helped make the show a huge success. Just ask any of the five directors who worked on the project. “We would like to thank all the volunteers,” said

Heinrich. “We put all this on with 20 volunteers and five directors. I want to thank each and every one of them and of course the District of Peachland for their co-operation and all the locals for their patience and for letting us disrupt their day.”

A few new changes were put in this year and next year there may be a few more. One of the changes was to help with traffic flow. “Community policing was purchased this year to look after the ever increasing traffic flow problem,” said Heinrich. It helped quite a bit. We are looking for ways to improve next year. If there is anyone interested in helping out for next year’s World of Wheels Show and Shine, we are looking for a couple key people.”

Another big help with transportation was Roger Cyr and his two school busses. Visitors were directed to park in the mall parking lot and take the bus into the

hustle and bustle of the show. The ride was free; however, a donation to the local food bank was an option. At the end of the day they’d raised over a $1,000 for the food bank. How much over, Cyr couldn’t say.

“We quit counting at $1,000!

There was lots of change left over. That’s $400 more than last year. It is just amazing, we are so thrilled!” Cyr wants to thank everyone who helped and supported them. “Our volunteers were great; we had six helping us out this year. Sue and I really enjoyed arranging to bus the people from the mall to the downtown area.

It was a great day for everyone.

We were impressed and enjoyed ourselves.”

Cheryl Blum, a business owner from Kelowna, was one of the 15,000 visitors who enjoyed themselves on Sunday. “I think the car showing part was excellent. The layout was great. It felt

better than last year. The food was really good too. I actually had a bite of a hot dog and a burger and a bite of some shishka-bob thing. There were two beer gardens; however, the one by the stage could use some improvement. They were only selling beer on tap and cider; they could have had a couple coolers or something there. It’s too bad because they probably would have had more people in there if there were more choices for them.

It also would have been great if there were more vendors up and down the street.”

Once again, realtor Roger W. Cyr donated two buses to shuttle people from the mall to the show.

Blum gave kudos to the beer Photo Joanne Layh garden outside the Legion. “It was really good; they had a band that played there most of the day, lots of types of cider and beer for everyone to choose from. The people working that beer garden were great too. Overall I loved the show. It was a real cozy kind of feeling and I liked it.”

By Joanne Layh An estimated crowd of 500 people took in the Heritage Music Festival on Monday, May 24. The event centered around live country music spread over two venues (Heritage Park and the wharf at 13th Street) and carried on throughout the afternoon.

Performers included Kelowna Old Time Fiddlers, Chloe and Kyle Young Fiddlers, Kootenay Old Time Fiddlers, Peachland Pickers and the Mount Boucherie Jazz Group.

The festivities kicked off just after noon with a centennial cake cut by Mayor Fielding, which was then served by a Peachland Ambassador.

A vintage phone collection, early Okanagan photographs, antique small engines, and even a gas-powered washing machine were all on display for public enjoyment.

In addition to displays at the museum and Heritage Park, Classic Woodenboats arrived

with the Nicola d’Italia, a restored 1965 classic “monk” sedan cruiser.

For only $10, they offered an Ogopogo Search Cruise to Ogopogo Island and back. The boat was filled to capacity on every trip. The historic boat has cruised the inside passage to Alaska, so it had no problems taking a spin around Ogopogo Island before returning passengers to the Day Wharf in downtown Peachland.

Jim Jeffries, an ex-commodore of the Peachland Yacht Club, agreed to help with the search cruise in any way he could to help make it a success.

“Because the weather cooperated it was an absolutely fantastic family day,” Richard Smith of the Peachland Historical

C

Society told the View.

The Peachland Historical Society, along with by Laverne Prozny, organized the event to mark the 100th anniversary of the unique 8-sided Peachland Museum building, originally built a Baptist Church.

The event was sponsored in part by the District of Peachland, Two Chefs Restaurant, Todd’s RV and Campground and the Peachland View.

Bliss Bakery supplied the canopy at the 13th Street wharf.

“Whether we do this again next year is up to the municipality and local people. If they wish it to happen next year, then we could do it next year. We almost always are lucky enough to get good weather,” Smith said.

Message from the Chamber of Commerce President

By Rob Campbell The 13th annual World of Wheels Show and Shine car show has concluded on a very positive note. Once the wind and rain from the early morning blew through, we were lucky to have sun and warmer temperatures for the day’s event. This year, the Chamber of Commerce was asked to participate as part of the World of Wheels Committee and provide the marketing of merchandise for the show. We took this opportunity to design a new logo and to include a range of t-shirts for kids, men and women. We offered the traditional men’s style shirts as well as four new designs and colours for the ladies.

We also designed hats for the show

Proud to meet your real estate needs in Peachland

Brenda Herrin

with a new embroidered logo. All these items were intended to provide our visitors with a souvenir of this incredible event. We still have some of these items available and they can be purchased through the Visitor Centre. Please continue to support your Chamber and purchase one of these great mementos. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers who came early, early in the morning to assist in setting up. These volunteers included members of your board of directors, staff, Visitor Centre volunteers and most encouraging, volunteers from our membership. Thank you all again for your time and dedication in making this event a success for the Chamber.

Thank you!

We would like to extend a big thank you to all of our volunteers!

News from the Peachland Visitor Information Centre

By Loretta Robinson The Visitor Information Centre added one more very attractive component to their renovation project just in time for the annual World of Wheels event this past Sunday. Chris Krahn and his crew from Westside Curb Appeal put the pergola in place over the front porch last week, diligently working through temperamental weather. The finished result is a fresh and welcoming aspect to the front of the Beach Avenue location. The project has been possible because of the many hours of volunteer work by members of the Peachland Chamber of Commerce, the Board of Directors and friends in the community of the chamber. Without naming you individually, the staff and volunteers extend our gratitude to all those

involved. As we are indeed Peachland’s ‘front door’ to the community, we are delighted at the improved quarters.

Another recent development at the Information Centre is the success of our Student Career Grant application. We are now accepting resumes for a summer student Visitor Information Councillor position.

As soon as the student is in place we will be able to operate the centre 7 days a week. As the season is already off to a busy start with visitors from the US, England, Switzerland, Germany, and other parts of Canada and BC, the weekend openings will be beneficial to our business community as we direct the visitors to our local services and attractions.

Getting their WorldHost training completed just before high

season was upon us, Bliss Bakery and Bistro management team and staff will be the first ‘WorldHost Business’ in Peachland.

This designation is possible with 60 per cent staff certification. Training day for Bliss was 90 per cent participation; kudos to this awesome team!

Remember Peachland residents, the Visitor Information Centre has services for you, as well. If you are planning a trip anywhere in BC we have a great selection of guides and maps.

Additionally, we sell the BC Parks Guide and Road Map, the Backroads Mapbook, Peachland art cards, pins, and World of Wheels t-shirts and hats, now on sale.

Drop by and check out our transformation; we promise you a friendly greeting and a wealth of community information.

Shepherd’s Pie

Food For the Soul The rats are getting tired Canadians like to say that we live for long weekends. Those three special days in a row taking place “oh so rarely” spell freedom from schedules, work, and our regular routines. This is cause for celebration –sometimes too much celebration apparently, as some provincial and federal parks hinted by banning liquor in their parks over the May long weekend.

One dictionary defines leisure as “freedom from the demands of work and duty.” It’s a surprise then when we feel so tired after our weekend. If our leisure time is freedom, why do we seem to need

a holiday from our holidays?

We like to use the word “busy” a lot, though I wonder how busy we actually are. I mean, if we say we’re busy because of our demands of work and duty, that’s fine (although according to statistics we’re not as “busy” as we think we are at the work place, with Facebook, personal e-mails, and extended coffee times and lunches being the primary culprits). But when we start throwing out the word busy to describe many of our other activities—our hobbies, our holidays, our down-times—it seems like becomes a vocal cue

to speed up the pace of our personal lives. Busy shouldn’t bleed into our leisure. Not this much.

Of course it’s appropriate to say we’re busy when our schedule is full with other things outside of work and duty. By definition, busy is to be actively and attentively engaged in work or a pastime. In fact, most of our schedules are more than busy –they’re chaotic! Our whole society is absorbed with filling iphones and Blackberries with appointments of play-dates and birthday parties and sleepovers.

We book our evenings and weekends long in advance, making sure our

kids make it to their soccer practices held at different fields, it would appear, around the globe.

We race to the campground, we run to the cabin, we high-tail it to the Caribbean or Disneyland or Alaska. Time’s a wasting; life is ticking by.

Let’s get it done.

But busyness, even with pastimes, is not leisure. As society continues to practice its collective attention deficit disorder, opportunities to rest are in steep decline. We stay up later and sleep less. We eat often while standing or walking and often alone.

We have little time to reflect, to really chew on

Jeff Bjorgan piritual Formation Pasto Spiritual Pastor Emmanuel Church

an idea, to be really creative. No wonder sleep, anxiety and depression disorders are on the rise!

There is no margin, no gap between all of the different components of our lives. It’s a rat race out there, and the rats are getting tired.

Two particular aspects of Jesus’ ministry have always intrigued me. The first one was that he was only 33 years old when he finished his mission.

That’s pretty young, or pretty old depending on whether you’ve reached that age or not. I often remark to people when I find out they’ve turned 33 that hey, they’re the same age Jesus was when he died. This is sometimes more rattling to people than what I intend, especially those with a messiah complex who now realize that they better

get busy with their mandate to save the world.

Most scholars agree that Jesus was probably only “on the job” for 3 years; he packed an awful lot of business into those three years.

Which leads to the second aspect of intrigue.

Jesus spent a lot of time by himself, alone. He would go from being at the center of the crowds to a mountaintop alone to pray and recharge. He would go from spending time with his disciples to being by himself to contemplate and rest.

Imagine that, the Son of God needing down time.

Apparently holy leisure had to exist in order to make holy work more productive and purposeful.

When I think about these traits of Jesus in the midst of a hectic life, it makes me want to dust off my old WWJD? bracelet and answer the question directly: it’s high time I schedule in leisure— real leisure, the kind that gets us to “let go and let God”—and reclaim the rest necessary for every human soul.

Peachland Lake

© Google Maps

By Richard Smith This lake is reached by driving up Princeton Avenue to about the 10 km fork in the road and then taking a right turn to Silver Lake and Brenda Mine. Fair trout fishing. Continue for about another 12 km, and then make a left turn to arrive at Peachland Lake.

This lake was dammed a long time ago with teams of horses and a scraper. It is the source of most of Peachland’s water supply. Its original name was North Fork as it drains into the North fork of Deep Creek. In

the early days of open flume irrigation, the waterman would walk one day to lake, stay overnight and walk home the next day.

Quite a few years ago a woman from Naramata was found drowned at the bottom of the lake still in her car. Fishermen spotted the car at low water level. She had been missing for many years. Use your imagination. It is, after all the source of Peachland’s drinking water.

There is a very basic public Forestry maintained campsite at the lakeside.
