New Monaco development moving forward Erin Christie / Peachland View with files from Joanne Layh 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. The Nanaimo-based project manager was on hand for Tuesday evening’s 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 on October 14. “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 refers 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 center, 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 See NEW MONACO on page 2

officials have begun recruiting a variety of prospective commercial tenants 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; 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.” But, as Holland acknowledged, getting to this stage has been a lengthy process. He explained that the project was inspired by the beauty of the Okanagan itself, when his colleague, noted developer Paul Tsang, visited the area several years ago. Holland described Tsang as a food and wine enthusiast who
loved visiting the Okanagan. Inspired by the scenery and culture, Tsang began looking for land to develop. “Paul is passionate about the Okanagan. As developer you’re always looking for a new project, it’s almost like an addiction,” Holland noted of the Edmonton-based developer. Flash forward to 2011, when New Monaco received council’s unanimous approval of an Area Sector Plan (ASP) and incorporation of that plan into Peachland’s Official Community Plan (OCP). Earlier that spring Peachland council gave second reading to the CD-10 New Monaco neighbourhood comprehensive development zone, first and second reading to a bylaw to amend the OCP to create the New Monaco neighbourhood development permit area and first and second reading to a bylaw to establish the Phased Development Agreement (PDA) for

the development of the New Monaco neighbourhood. The process included countless hours of consultation with local government officials, staff and members of the community, as well
as a public hearing in the spring. Fairly low attendance and no opposition at the May 20 public hearing for the New Monaco project suggested the future Peachland development had strong

public support in the community. The development’s rezoning application subsequently sailed through third reading at the May 27 council meeting with little discussion. Between the third reading and final adoption, the New Monaco developers sought approval from the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) for their highway access plans to the property. Development servicing agreements that will address servicing costs, the infrastructure phasing plan and security requirements will be met later in the process, during the infrastructure construction and development process, if the development is successful in receiving final approval from council.
According to the proposed bylaw agreements, new infrastructure for the neighbourhood, such as extension of sanitary sewer and water mains and the road network, will be provided by the developer of the property at no cost to the district. In addition, the developer will be required to pay Development Cost Charges (DCCs) at the building permit stage, as well as Community Amenity Contributions (CACs) and Housing Opportunities Reserve Fund Contributions at the time of building permit (except for residential buildings greater than 15,000 square feet in size, which will be payable at time of occupancy permit). Throughout the project the developer is expected to contribute
$2.8 million toward affordable housing and $27 million in DCCs over and above infrastructure costs. Moving forward, Holland said he expects the development will be an uphill battle, but one he believes is well worth the fight, and says New Monaco believes strongly in the decision to build in Peachland rather than West Kelowna. “As a developer, there are lots of reasons to go after West Kelowna – it’s cheaper to develop, it’s got huge amounts of easy to develop land and lots of highway visibility and access, whereas spot is visible, but our terrain doesn’t lend itself to big box stores. As a developer, you have to make a decision, do you go head to head and compete, or do you do something completely different and go in a different direction,” Holland explained. “We took a look at what would work in our favour and that was the town of Peachland, and its brand. It’s a whole destination experience we’re going for. Sure, it brings more challenges, but if you do it right, people will come.” And Holland says he is confident that they will. “It’s a challenge in the Okanagan because the growth rates here are steady, but slow, so we have to be cautious,” he noted. “But they are coming, and they’re coming a lot faster now that the recession is over and the baby boomers are really interested in retiring here.”

B.C. takes first step in renewed fight against distracted driving
If you’re caught talking on a handheld device while driving in British Columbia, you’ll soon be facing stiffer penalties. The provincial government announced last week that they are cracking down further on distracted driving. Starting October 20, amendments to the Motor Vehicle Act (MVA) regulations will increase the driver penalty points from zero to three for drivers who are caught talking on a handheld device while driving. This new penalty, which also covers infractions like watching a DVD, programming a phone’s GPS, and operating hand-held audio players, is being combined with the $167 fine already in place and is now consistent with the three points and $167 fine currently given to drivers for texting. Penalty points will remain on a person’s driving record for five years and can result in further penalties, including prohibitions from driving. Specifically, any driver with more than three points has to pay a penalty premium on their insurance, starting at $175, and escalating if they receive more penalty points. The penalty for anyone who receives more than one distracted driving ticket in a year is at least $634 – the equivalent of two fines and a $300 penalty premium for six points. For the second part of B.C.’s approach, the provincial government will also be reviewing the overall fine structure in the MVA, including specifically those fines for distracted driving and other risk-based offences.
Okanagan Centre harbour walkway
The Regional Board has approved amending the 2014-2018 Financial Plan to add an additional $58,710 from the Regional Parks Capital Reserve Fund to pay for the higher than expected costs associated with installing a walkway at the Okanagan Centre Safe Harbour Regional Park North Breakwater. Construction of the 56-metre walkway will involve installing six aluminum gangways. Burton Marine Pile Driving Inc. submitted a bid to build the walkway this fall at a cost of $158,000.
Park management plan adopted
The regional board has adopted a management plan for the Johns Family Nature Conservancy Regional Park. The plan will help guide the regional district over the next ten years as it develops and manages the 406-hectare regional park while preserving the area along the south slopes as a nature conservancy. That’s in keeping with the wishes of the estate of Alfred and Nancy Johns, who bequeathed 324 hectares of land to the Central Okanagan Land Trust (COLT). These lands have been leased to the Regional District to manage through a partnership agreement with COLT.
Quick thinking saves Peachland home Erin Christie / Peachland View A fire remains under investigation after flames charred a significant portion of a single-family home on Huston Road in Peachland at approximately 8:30 Saturday evening. It is estimated that the fire, which was reported to the Peachland Fire and Rescue department by a good samaritan around 8:38 that evening, started in the garage area, but fire chief Dennis Craig says the cause cannot be confirmed until the investigation is complete. Though the homeowner, Constance Roth, says the ordeal was frightening, Roth believes it could have been a lot worse. Roth, who was out for the evening at the time of the fire, lost her garage and deck to the blaze. Fortunately, her 16-year-old daughter and two dogs escaped from the house unharmed, thanks to the teen’s quick thinking. “She smelled smoke coming up through the vents, grabbed the dogs and went out the back door to check the garage window and saw flames,” Roth told The View. “I’m so proud of her.” Unfortunately the basement tenant of the dwelling was not as lucky. The man, whose name has not been reported, was pulled from his smoky apartment in a semiconscious state and
ANNICK STOLTZ
transported to Kelowna General Hospital, where he was treated for smoke inhalation. According to Craig, the man has since been released and is expected to recover. In regard to any damage sustained to her home, Roth said there was considerable smoke damage done to the house, particularly in the basement.
Agri-tourism program seeking applicants View Staff Do you have a concept for business in the Central Okanagan? The Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission is accepting applications for its Agri-Tourism Business Planning Program that will provide assistance to up to eight new or earlystage agri-tourism operators in the Central Okanagan Region. The project is focused on providing assistance to the participants in developing a detailed business plan in preparation for the 2015 tourism season. This is a four-month program beginning November 3 and end-
ing February 28, 2015. The program is subsidized, making significant professional and technical expertise available and timely information relevant to tourism industry activity in the Central Okanagan. The result is a highly customized business planning process delivered through group sessions, speaker presentations and extensive one-on-one coaching/mentoring. Topics addressed include market research and planning, financial management, hiring and managing employees, and customer service – with programs tailored to the needs of the participants accepted. In order to par-
ticipate, prospective participants are required to own, or have the goal of operating an agri-tourism business on land zoned for agricultural use and located within the boundaries of the Central Okanagan Region, and have a basic concept for the type of agri-tourism business they are considering, and why it would be successful in the Central Okanagan. Participants must also be willing and able to commit up to 10 hours per week between November 2014 and February 2015, to attend education programs, conduct market research activities, and write their plans, as well as spend one-on-one
One-time fee for service approved
In order to assist with additional occupancy costs associated with the new location and increased utilities, council approved an additional one time funding amount of $8,000 for the chamber of commerce to run the visitor information centre. The chamber of commerce has been asked by council to bring forward a budget for the 2015/2016 year, as well as submit a financial statement for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2015.
“It will be a while before we can get back in there,” she said. “It’s pretty black down there. In the meantime, Roth credits the swift actions by her daughter, the samaritan and the fire and rescue department, for not making a bad situation worse. “I have no complaints,” she told The View.

PEACHLAND VIEWS Development need not be a dirty word As noted by a Ministry of Transportation spokesman, it is a lot easier to make an economic case for a Peachland highway bypass today than it was ten years ago. As announced recently by Premier Clark and the highways minister, a new highway corridor could include a bypass behind Peachland. A bypass is key to a brighter future for Peachland. It will be up to the mayor and new council to make and sell the economic case. A lot has been accomplished. The waterfront, our jewel, was improved by the Beach Avenue landscaping and restoration of the old schoolhouse. The Ponderosa and New Monaco developments promise to double the population. New Monaco is particularly significant. It shows a new paradigm in development criteria. The investors will use our unique setting and access to lifestyle attractions to bring and retain high tech workforces. It is a transformative example of a huge potential to increase the tax base and provide lots of well paid employment. What is required is a commitment to a shared vision of what could be. An example is extending Beach Avenue to Antlers Beach. Doggy Beach could
be a beautiful park, Antler Beach and Harvey Falls parks could be wonderfully redeveloped and the cliff-bound water frontage south of Princeton could be redeveloped with boutique hotels, restaurants, galleries etc. The result would be an astronomical increase in the development value of the lands adjacent to and radiating away from the transformed waterfront. Peachlanders are urged to elect a mayor and councillors committed to developing, promoting and protecting a shared vision of Peachland’s ultimate development potential by visualizing the best balance of land usage and revenue potential. Those revenues to be the source of funding for essential infrastructure and exceptional amenities, re-writing the development rules to allow the vision to become reality Insuring that the rules protect and enhance the beauty, charm and overall livability of the community and creating a proactive plan to attract high value developments consistent with the vision. Development need not be a dirty word. Peachland can be a world-class destination community, an example of the power of well planned, carefully controlled, visionary development.

The intense debate in Ottawa continues MP Dan Albas / Commentary This week in the House of Commons, a majority of Members of Parliament, including government, independents, and one Green MP voted in support of a government motion to engage in a six-month aerial combat mission against the terrorist group ISIL. As I believe in the significant importance of this motion, I have included the full text for your review: That this House (i) recognise that the leadership of the terrorist group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has called on its members to target Canada and Canadians at home and Dan Albas, MP abroad, (ii) further recognise the clear and direct threat that ISIL poses to the people of the region, including members of vulnerable religious and ethnic minority groups who have been subjected to a sustained campaign of brutal
sexual violence, murder, and barbaric intimidation by ISIL, (iii) accept that, unless confronted with strong and direct force, the threat ISIL poses to international peace and security, including to Canadian communities, will continue to grow, (iv) affirm Canada’s desire, consistent with Canadian values and interests, to protect the vulnerable and innocent civilians of the region, including through urgent humanitarian assistance, (v) acknowledge the request from the government of Iraq for military support against ISIL from members of the international community, including from the government of Canada, (vi) further acknowledge the participation of Canada’s friends and allies, including numerous countries of the Middle East, in the broad international coalition committed to the fight against ISIL, (vii) note that the United Nations Security Council has become seized of the threat posed by international terrorism with the unanimous passage of United Nations Security Council Resolution 2178, and, accordingly: (a) support the government’s decision to contribute Canadian military assets to the fight against ISIL, and terrorists allied with ISIL, including air strike capability for a period of up to six months; (b) note that the government of Canada will not deploy troops in ground combat operations; and (c) continue to offer its resolute
and wholehearted support to the brave men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces who stand on guard for all of us. For the purposes of accountability, I would like to share the reasons why I voted in support of this motion. In early October the United Nations issued a disturbing report that documented some very serious atrocities committed by the group ISIL. More specifically, and I quote from the UN report directly: “gross abuses of human rights perpetrated by ISIL and associated armed groups, including “attacks directly targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, executions and other targeted killings of civilians, abductions, rape and other forms of sexual and physical violence perpetrated against women and children, forced recruitment of children.” This unprecedented level of savage brutality against innocent victims is disturbing but it is also a reality for innocent men, women and children in the region. It should not be overlooked that there have been individuals who have left Canada to join with ISIL in these savage killings – as I mentioned in a former MP report this is why our government is revoking the passports of these See INTENSE DEBATE on page 5

individuals; an act opposed by the leader of the Liberal party. The question on how best to respond to ISIL is one that has been the subject of much debate this week in Ottawa. The opposition has made it clear they oppose military action against ISIL terrorism and in many cases support increased humanitarian aid or the supply of weapons to local fighting against ISIL. Our government also supports increased humanitarian aid and will increase funding for victims of sexual violence in this region combined with other aid related measures. However we must also recognize that ISIL has demonstrated they will abduct and publicly behead international aid workers, demonstrating the serious challenges in administering aid against a terror organization without military support. As a result, the government of Canada will be joining our
allies, including countries such as United States, France, United Kingdom, Denmark and others in doing our part to provide military support against ISIL. The stated goal of our Canadian support is not to defeat ISIL per se but to diminish their capacity, while national and regional Iraqi ground forces in the region become better prepared to deal with this serious threat. We do this not just to alleviate the suffering of others and to restore order; ISIL has made direct threats against Canada and we must negate their ability to train, fund and carry out missions against our country. Of our fleet of 79 CF-18 aircraft, six will be deployed including one Polaris air-toair refuelling aircraft and two Aurora surveillance aircraft including required pilots and ground personnel to support these aircraft. As mentioned in the motion, this will not be a ground combat mission involving Canada and is subject to review in six months. The decision to support this mission, in my view, is sup-
porting long established Canadian values to stand up and protect those who are innocent and most vulnerable from oppression and terror. Canada as a country has always answered the call to stand with our allies in the fight for democracy and for freedom. Turning our back and expecting others to answer the call to serve have never been attributes that define Canada. I appreciate that my views on this subject may not sit well with some citizens and I welcome all views on this matter if you support or oppose our mission against the terror group ISIL. My email is dan.albas@parl.gc.ca or you can reach my office at 1-800-665-8711. Let us never forget the sacrifices we have made to live in a free and democratic society where we can debate and discuss how we build a better Canada and best help those in need in other countries.

Fall 2014
• Streamlined application process for ski hills and golf courses to temporarily extend their licensed area.
Fall 2015
• Permit hobby brewers and vintners to apply for a license to host competition events where the public can sample homemade beers and wines.
Winter 2015
• Permit the sale of liquor in grocery stores. • The government says it intends to rewrite the entire Liquor Control and Licensing Act to adopt all 73 recommendations in its liquor policy review, but is immediately implementing the first 15. Erin Christie Peachland View A new trend in one-stop shopping is emerging in British Columbia. Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton announced October 9 that liquor sales in grocery stores – something already done in Quebec, Ontario and Nova Scotia – will be permitted by next winter. In her speech, Anton outlined updates to the two-part model for liquor sales in grocery stores, which the provincial government hopes to implement by spring 2015. The first “storewithin-a-store” model – which provides convenience for customers with same-cart shop-
ping – will apply to private liquor licences that are transferred into or sold to a grocery store, as well as to government liquor licences that are transferred into grocery stores. This model will allow for sales of beer, wine and spirits through separate cashiers, safeguarding health and safety and ensuring restricted access to alcohol by minors. A second model will be flexible to accommodate VQA licences, as well as a limited number of new licences that sell VQA wine in grocery stores. Under this model, VQA wine will be allowed to be sold off designated shelves within the store, and purchased at
tels would be allowed to bring drinks bought at the lobby bar up to their rooms. Previously, only hotel staff were allowed to carry the liquor up. The hours when guests can receive liquor through room service will also be extended.

One example of what the “store-within-a-store” model – with an open entrance, samecart shopping and separate cashiers to protect health, safety and access by minors – could look like when the model is implemented in early 2015.
designated check-out tills. “We are signalling to the industry how our final grocery framework is shaping up, so they have certainty and time to prepare – and so that the option for one-stop shopping can be available to British Columbians this coming spring,” Anton told reporters in an annoucement issued to media outlets across Canada last Thursday. “This framework strikes the balance of convenience for consumers and support for B.C.’s business sector, while at the same time respecting health and public safety consider-
ations,” she continued. In order to be eligible, grocery stores will need to have approximately 75 per cent of their sales coming from food products and must be a minimum of 10,000 square feet. Grocery stores will also have the opportunity to co-brand with liquor stores – regardless of whether the liquor store is physically in the grocery store – and there will be no minimum size. Anton continued that the grocery model will not apply to general merchandise stores or “big box” stores, nor to convenience stores, as previously announced.
For Peachland grocer Harry Gough, who manages the local IGA, the new policy comes as welcome news. Gough, whose store does qualify for the model, is in favour of the new policy and says he hopes to use the changes as a way to support local wineries and craft breweries. Details on wholesale pricing and grocery stores selling B.C. wine off the shelf are expected in the coming months. Other policy changes include doing away with fencing at beer gardens and increasing alcohol variety at sporting events.

Let us help you become computer literate Christina MacMaster Special to the Peachland View There is always something happening at our cozy little house on Fifth Street. The Peachland Wellness Centre (PWC) is seeing upgrades again! This is thanks to the great people at the District of Peachland who have provided us with this little house in order to support our community. This week the patio door is being upgraded to a door that is more user friendly. People with wheelchairs and walkers will have easier access to the building to attend any one of our 18 programs that meet our mission to provide education and support programs, information, referral and outreach services for people living in Peachland. The volunteers and staff work in collaboration with other community members, organizations and the municipality.
Our programs are many and the scheduled times are posted in the events page of this paper. We invite you to come and join in the fun, conversation, and make new friends. One way to do this is to attend the wellness circle which provides regular health and wellness information sessions twice a month. Topics were determined by the participants in September and include everything from learning how to pole walk properly, to understanding how to read food labels, to the basics of naturopathic, chiropractic and emotional wellness just to mention a few. All sessions are open to the community and run on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Wellness Centre. Everyone is invited to attend and participate. Another great program we would like to highlight is computer litera-

With lifetimes of experiences and seemingly everything they could ever want or need in life already at their disposal, seniors can be difficult to shop for come the holiday season. Many even insist that their family members save their money and not buy them anything for the holidays. But if the thought of Grandma or Grandma
not having something to open come the holidays is simply unacceptable, consider the following gift ideas.
Activity assistance devices
The realities of getting older often mean the body slows down and activities may not be as easy as they used to be. Many active seniors are not ready to live sed-
entary lives, nor should they be forced to do so. Plenty of products exist that can make life easier and more comfortable for older adults. Television amplifying headphones are one product that can be a great fit for seniors, particularly those having difficulty hearing their televisions. The headphones amplify the sound of the program-
ming without disturbing others in the room, and many such headphones even allow users to mute their televisions. This feature is perfect for someone who likes to watch TV while a spouse is sleeping or reading in the same room. Other devices that can make life easier for seniors include magnifying products or bookholders. In addition, gel seat cushions can take pressure off of the spine in the car or at home.
doesn’t take up much room and can be enjoyed at a recipient’s leisure. Perhaps there is something the senior in your life used to enjoy as a child but now finds hard to come by. A search of the internet may uncover that special treat. You may be able to ship a specialty soft drink or favourite cookie that is not available in a nearby store. Otherwise, ask a store manager if a particular item that’s not in stock in the store can be a special order.

ing at his or her family members? Computersavvy men and women can use photo software to design personalized photo books, calendars, mugs, and other photorelated gifts. Just about anything can be emblazoned with a photo, including tote bags and pillows. Another idea is to collect old photos and compile a memory book. Scan the images so they are preserved digitally and then print out the images in a book that includes the family history.
Time
Seniors who truly do not want or need anything probably will likely jump at the opportunity to spend time with loved ones. Treat a friend or family member to a meal out or simply spend a few hours chatting at his or her home. Sometimes the company of a new face and good conversation is the ideal gift.

ELECTION WATCH
Fifteen candidates emerge for 2014 municipal election Nominations are closed across British Columbia, as the races get set to heat up in this fall’s municipal election. Voters will have several options when they hit the polls on November 15. In Peachland, 15 people have entered candidacy for mayor, council and school board. While not a record, chief election officer Polly Palmer says it’s one of the largest pool of candidates to form in recent memory. With the books closing at 4 p.m. on Friday, five people have entered Peachland’s mayoral race.
That includes incumbent Keith Fielding, councillors Eric Hall and Cindy Fortin, former councillor, Ernie Hurd, and former Highway 97 Task Force Society president Bruce Letendre. Among the nine combatants fighting for a post at the council table are current councillors Vern Moberg, Terry Condon, Eldon Kerbes, Peter Schierbeck and Terry Condon, as well as rookie candidates Allan Holender, Keith Thom, Mario Vucinovic and Pam Cunningham. In the school board race, incumbent Moyra Baxter is the
only candidate and was acclaimed on October 10. The municipal election is Saturday, November 15, 2014. Nomination period commenced at 9 a.m., September 30 and closed at 4 p.m., October 10. An All Candidates Forum will be held on Monday, November 3 at the Peachland Community Centre from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Council candidates will speak between 6:30 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. Mayoral candidates will speak from 8 to 9 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. Watch The View for more details.
Condon vows to grow town, but keep small village charm
CONTRIBUTED
Councillor Terry Condon
Erin Christie Peachland View After three terms on town council, Terry Condon is not about to change his approach. “As a vice president at ICBC, I was expected to use considerable business skills in the discharge of my duties. Everything from finance to human resources to conflict resolution and negotiation skills. I apply those same skills to council,” Condon, 69,
but also accessibility to voters. “The presentation of expenditures always requires close examination,” he explained, adding that he compares the role of council to that of a board of directors in a corporation. “The role of council is to provide oversight, validate and strategic plan for the community and ensure the actions that support that plan are executed properly,” he continued. When it comes to his hard-nosed approach to municipal issues, the avid motorcyclist and outdoorsman notes that he has found honesty, no matter what, to be the best policy.
“
told The View in an email last week. The retired West Londoner, who has served on council uninterrupted since 2005, is seeking a fourth term. He is one of nine people running for six council seats in the November 15 municipal election. Condon, who is married with three children and four grandchildren, says his 27-year career at ICBC not only gives him a businessman’s fiscal common sense,
“I’m quite forthright,” Condon confessed in an interview with The View October 10. “I don’t always tell people what they want to hear, but I will always tell them the truth.” He has also been frequently acknowledged as the “voice of reason” at the council
I don’t always tell people what they want to hear, but I will always tell them the truth.” - COUNCILLOR TERRY CONDON
table. In the outgoing term, Condon says he has been part of a council that has been fiscally prudent and fostered an environment that attracts and retains business and industry. Another accomplishment of which he is proud to have been a part of on past councils is the creation of the Water Master Plan and the Centennial Walkway and the Downtown Revitalisation plan. Going forward, Condon says he is stressing fiscal responsibility, new development and carefully managed growth. “I want to see Peachland grow in a manner that retains its ‘small village’ charm,” he said. “The reality is that the growth of big box
stores in West Kelowna has presented a real challenge when it comes to our growth, so we need to support our business community by shopping locally and keeping them in our community.” Aside from his council-related duties, Condon is involved with the Peachland boxing club, and says he sees the club as an asset to the community and would like to
see it grow. “It’s a place where our youth are able to let off steam in a constructive way,” he pointed out. “It keeps them active and helps them focus. When I look at council items or sports activities or anything I do – I try to look at it from a community standpoint. I ask myself is this good for the community? And go from there.”

Straight shootin’ town councillor is going for a third term have to go somewhere else to find the kind of housing they need. When it’s a couple, that’s one thing, but for those who are alone, moving to a new community can be harder. It’s a lot nicer if they can stay where they know people – where it’s comfortable.”
Erin Christie Peachland View Vernon (Vern) Moberg has served more than a decade on town council – and what has happened in that time is motivating him to keep running. “We have some major development projects in the works, and have for some time. I’d like to see them completed,” he told The View in an October 14 interview. The 74-year-old former business owner listed New Monaco, the Ponderosa golf course, and the highly anticipated seniors’ housing development as his priorities if he returns to the council table next term. “I’m looking forward to seeing New Monaco get going. I’m pretty confident we are going to see that completed,” he said, adding that he is less optimistic, but still hopeful, that the Ponderosa development will reach completion. “It might be a case of they bit off more than they could chew,” he pointed out. “I’d hate to see that project end in bankruptcy, but I’m definitely concerned about its future.” However, Moberg is confident that the seniors’ housing

“We’re at the top of the list with B.C Housing,” he revealed Tuesday. “I know this is going to happen.” Moberg says the project is one he believes is necessary,

- Councillor Vern Moberg
As one of council’s longest-serving veterans, Moberg, who is completing his third term and eleventh year as a councillor, said the problem facing Peachlanders these days is the lack of commercial business in town, and points to Peachland’s location as a mitigating factor. “We’re so close to West Kelowna, so it’s easy to pick things up there if you’re going in to work or for an appointment, just out of convenience.” What Peachland needs, Moberg emphasized, is to continue to cater to niche markets and independent business owners. “I’m strongly convinced that we need

The council veteran is one of nine people vying for six council seats in the November 15 election. After that much time on council, Moberg says his goal has and always will be to represent the taxpayer. “I’m a straight shooter,” Moberg said of his no-nonsense reputation. “People may not always like my opinions, but they will always get a straight answer from me.”

FAITH FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Don’t follow me – I’m lost! Pastor Ed Skutshek Grace Lutheran Church A sticker on the rear bumper of the car in front of my friend read: “don’t follow me – I’m lost!” He saw the humour in the sticker and its profound meaning. “We all get lost from time to time and must look for someone to follow,” my friend chuckled. “At least this guy was honest enough to admit he doesn’t know where he was going.” My friend was absolutely right. Life is a journey, a road-trip. Have you ever come to a fork in your road where you were forced to make a choice, to go left or right? Have you ever felt lost and unable to make the decision? In that moment of indecision did you encounter a fellow traveller whose bumper proudly bore a sticker that declared: “Follow me – I know where I am going.” Were you captivated by the confidence of a particular fellow traveler and resolved to follow him or her? Of course you were. I am sure some turned out to be shining examples of good, who lit the way and brought you safely to a destination. I am sure some took you down the wrong path, and may even have placed your very life in peril (but you lived to tell the tale). I am sure that most of us would have to admit that too many times we followed our selfish wants, lusts and ambitions. A person in front of us often guaranteed that if we followed him or her, all of our personal wants, lusts and ambitions would be

fulfilled. These trips often ended in a disaster, a veritable car wreck, and we walked away bruised, dented and the worse for wear. Thankfully our car wrecks were never so serious we could not continue. There were also times in our lives where we should have put that bumper sticker on that said: “don’t follow me – I’m lost!” Our failure to warn others of our lost condition caused a car wreck which effected not only our lives, but also the lives of others. We all have to agree that the consequences of following the wrong person and going down the wrong road are often very serious and have life or death consequences. We are subject to certain universal truths. No one has all the answers and knows the way that he or she should go all the time. We have to follow others in one way or another as long we live. There are those
who are looking to us for guidance along the road of life and are following along behind us. These truths require us to ask questions. First, if we all have to follow someone, we have to ask: “who is that person following?” If there is someone looking to you for guidance and is following behind you, this question must be asked: “who am I following?” If the answer to either of these questions is the person you are following, or that the path you are taking, is motivated by selfish wants, desires and lusts, you must stop. For your sake, and the sake of those who follow you, it is your duty to look at who you are following and/or the path you are on. At times we must confess that we are lost and put a bumper sticker on our bumper that says: “don’t follow me – I’m lost!” When you confess

Pumpkins: they’re so much more than just jack-o-lanterns soups and more. When choosing a pumpkin for cooking, look for one that is smaller and heavy for its size. When carving your Halloween jack-olantern be sure to save the seeds for roasting. Baked pumpkin seeds are a healthy snack and they are easy to make. Just rinse the pumpkin seeds to remove pulp, then lay the seeds on a piece of paper towel to dry. Next, put the seeds in a bowl with a bit of vegetable oil and your favourite flavouring (Mrs. Dash, season-
ing salt, or cinnamon and brown sugar). Finally, spread the seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F, stirring occasionally until light brown and crisp (about 15-25 minutes).

Peachland Simone Jennings Special to the Peachland View October is the month for pumpkins! Pumpkins grow well in our area, and are in abundance at this time of year. When most people think of pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns and pies are usually what come to mind but these nutritious, versatile and hardy gourds can be so much more. Did you know the world’s largest pumpkin weighed in at over 1600 pounds? Even more surprising is that in some communities people hollow out pumpkins, make them
into boats and have annual pumpkin boat races. If you don’t believe me, look it up on the internet. Like other types of squash, pumpkins are full of nutrients. Their deep orange coloured flesh is packed with beta-carotene. This is an antioxidant that helps prevent heart disease and cancer. Pumpkins are also a good source of vitamin C, potassium and fibre. Pumpkin pie is a popular treat but pumpkin can be used for so much more. Try it in cookies, pancakes, loaves, muffins,
