District buys Turner Park for $3.1 million A brief hisory of Turner Park: JOANNE LAYH The District of Peachland has approved a land acquisition to preserve Turner Park for a purchase price of $3.1 million, with ownership of the lands set to take place on March 30, 2021.

The property was listed last September for $3.5 million.

The district has made a strategic park acquisition to preserve 6114 Turner Avenue, historically referred to as Turner Park, for future public use, a press release sent Oct. 29 stated.

Council authorized the removal of conditions at an in-camera meeting on Oct. 27.

A park plan will be developed in the future that will include a public consultation

process to determine the future of the park’s uses and maintenance. Park improvements will be considered in future budget deliberations and when applying for grant funding opportunities from senior levels of government.

“Council is pleased to deliver on the community’s desire to regain access to this former public space,” said Mayor Cindy Fortin.

Fortin cited overwhelming support to purchase the lands through a recent petition.

“Conversations around the potential acquisition of this site have been on-going for decades. I am pleased we can secure the Turner Park site for generations to come,” Fortin said.

The purchase is being funded by short-term borrowing from the Municipal

Finance Authority at low interest rates and the loan repayment will come from multiple funding sources, including the potential resale of the lower portion of the property that fronts Princeton Avenue, the release states.

The district also has over $700,000 in the Parkland Acquisition Reserve Fund.

The district has been in discussions with the owner’s agent prior to the property being formally listed and an offer was presented at the beginning of September 2020.

“I always found it a pity that we didn’t buy it when we could buy it years ago,” Councillor Patrick Van Minsel told the View. “I know it’s a steep price maybe but it’s an investment in your community and future gen-

Got Household Hazardous Waste?

Look for flammable, explosive and poisonous symbols

erations but that didn’t work out so it was always my intention if it came up for sale again to bring it up and say, ‘hey, we need to buy this’.”

Van Minsel said when the planning department told council that the developer was not going ahead and probably intended to list the property, he read that and said, ‘okay, we need to buy this.’”

Van Minsel says the municipality is not interested in development and residents can be confident that the upper portion of the property will remain a park. He speculates that maybe they could add a soccer field, have some room for families to have a picnic or barbecue and set aside part of the property for a dog park.

The 3.34 hectare (8.26 acre) property was purchased by School District #23 in 1976 from the Turner family as a future school site.

The District of Peachland obtained permission in 1979 to utilize the property until the land was required for school purposes or disposed of by the school district. The municipality made an offer to purchase from the school district in 2006 and was outbid by the current owners, SSC Ventures.

SSC Ventures had applied for rezoning to develop single and multiple family residences but instead listed the property for sale in September.

The upper portion of the site fronting Turner Ave. is one of the only remaining undeveloped properties in Peachland able to accommodate athletic fields and other park amenities requiring flat land.

Mar. 1976: The 3.34 hectare site is purchased as a future school site by SD23 from John Turner and Michael Turner for $87,000.

Most of the area is cherry orchards.

1979 - 2006: The district has a lease agreement with SD23 to use and occupy Turner Park for the public.

2003: SD23 and Peachland mayor and council enter into discussions about the future of Turner Park. The district is interested in buying the land but can’t agree on the price. The assessment value of the property at the time is $579,000. Later in the year, Peachland gives approval to a construction project that would connect the sanitary sewer to Turner Park.

2005: With no formal offer from the district, SD23 announces that Turner Park will be sold to the highest bidder.

2006: The site is sold for just over $2 million to SSC Ventures, a company owned by three doctors. The sale helps SD23 finance the extension to Mount Boucherie Secondary School. The district has an unwritten agreement with SSC Ventures to continue to allow public use of the property. SSC Ventures proposes to build a huge seniors-orientated residential development that includes six towers up to 70 feet in height, although a small part of the site is to remain as a ballpark. Neighbouring opponents to the proposed development form a society called “Friends of Turner Park.” The society’s efforts prove successful and the first development proposal is dropped.

Sept. 2007: A new proposal is presented to the public for “Panorama Hills: A Campus of Care,” which consists of three separate buildings. It is presented as half assisted living and half independent seniors housing.

Jan. 2008: One of the three doctors who purchased the site, Gary Randhawa, passes away and for a long period of time not much is heard from the developers.

Nov. 2009: A parks and recreation master plan is prepared for Peachland. The report recommends purchasing a replacement for Turner Park.

Mar. 2011: The district formalizes an agreement with SSC Ventures for pubic use of the park.

Dec. 2011: The district agrees to pay an annual park rental fee in the amount of the municipal portion of taxes on the playing field area of the park.

May 2017: A new proposal is submitted, this time for 17 single family residential lots and 11 townhouses for the upper section and six townhouses for the lower section. The residential lots proposed required a change to the zoning bylaw to create a new zone for lots smaller than anything that existed at that time. Despite much opposition at the public hearing, the new proposal is approved by mayor and council, including the new compact lots.

Apr. 2020: Council grants the developer’s request for an extension to complete their rezoning application.

Sept. 2020: The property is listed for $3.5 million and soon resident Daeshel Heidelbach begins a petition, lobbying the district to buy the park.

Oct. 2020: Council authorizes the removal of conditions on Oct. 27 and subsequently the district announces it has approved a land acquisition to preserve Turner Park, with ownership of the lands set to take place on March 30, 2021.

Purchase of Turner Park justified

Whenever council spends money there are some people who do not agree. We all want to keep taxes down and deciding which expense is justified is never easy. Every year at budget time, mayor and council look at a list of requests and then decide what level of tax increase is acceptable. There is never enough money to approve all the requests. So spending over $3 million buying Turner Park was, I am sure, not an easy decision for members of council to make; but it was the right one.

After many years, a seniors centre was built here that helped to house some local seniors and also brought new seniors to live in Peachland. Peachland donated land and services worth millions, but the building helped many people find a good place to live and that is a wonderful thing. There is, however, a problem in Peachland because there is a shortage of young families. Housing is expensive and good-paying local jobs are very few. So that makes it especially important that we try to encourage younger people to live here. Helping seniors is good but providing a welcome for young families is critical in bringing a better balance to the community.

Turner Park is a facility used by young families. The park included a children’s playground, a sports box, and two softball fields; all were well-used. Many winter events have been organized there and the park has a convenient slope that provides a great winter snow slide. Peachland needs more young families, and Turner Park will help to provide a welcome for them here. If we have to pay a little more to make this happen, it is justified.

This park acquisition will provide lasting benefits and will help to make Peachland more of a family community not just a place for seniors.

Time change compromise proposed

Every six months we go through the process of adjusting our clocks ahead an hour or behind an hour. Or maybe it is behind an hour and ahead an hour. I’m confused.

And this happens every six months.

In Newfoundland and Labrador that is half hour out of sync. My brain is now hurting.

Why don’t we all compromise and adjust one half hour behind the spring forward hour in 2021 and be done with it once and for all?

I think my message is clear.

Former veterans hospital nurse remembers impacts of war Remembrance Day in Peachland has always been well represented by the community and although solemn and sometimes sad, there is comfort in so many responding together.

We sing hymns, lay wreaths, hear bagpipes and the lonely sound of the bugle playing taps. We come together for two minutes of silence.

John McCrae’s poignant poem, “In Flanders Fields” reminds us of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for our freedom and we are so very grateful to those who died for our freedom.

I would like to shed some light on the many soldiers who came back alive, but with life changing disabilities both physically and mentally.

I worked at a veterans hospital from 1975 to1980 as a nurse and realized then there were thousands of former soldiers living out their lives in military hospitals such as Shaughnessy in Vancouver, George Derby Centre in Burnaby, Deer Lodge Hospital in Winnipeg and many others across Canada.

Some soldiers had needed full care from the time they came back but others did well in the community until their health began to fail.

My first day there was shocking...seeing so many wheelchairs, so many amputations, disfiguring burn scars and chronic lung problems from mustard gas poisoning. I saw the results of poor diet and trauma in former prisoners of war. The word shell shock was used a lot. Now we call it PTSD and the condition is very real. A thunder and lightning storm in the summer would often trigger shell shock even after decades.

The patients called me “sister” as they had in the First and Second World Wars. Some vets well in their 90s were even from the Boer War of 1899-1902.

Many veterans talked about the foxholes and puttees, which are leg wraps, and showed me feet that couldn’t bend due to trench foot. Too many days in wet boots causing muscle damage.

I realized the way the war had changed their lives from remarks they made such as, “I was supposed to take over the farm from Dad after my older brother died but how could I like this, a double amputee?”

Or, “I was too young to find a sweetheart before I left and coming home like this, I never could have a wife and family.”

He had signed up at 15.

The staff were exceptional people and together we held pub days with sing songs, bingo games, trips to the circus and hockey games. Loading those wheelchairs in and out of vans in the cold.

For one special 100th birthday, the staff brought in brown ale and pork pies (patient’s request) and we celebrated Yorkshire, England style.

Visitors were scarce but some came occasionally. Remembrance Day was very special and sometimes dignitaries and enlisted soldiers would visit and chat. The two-minute silence was silently emotional and a very quiet day.

COVID-19 and social distancing reminded me of these soldiers, their lives spent apart and their aspirations changed because of what they contributed.

Their sacrifices cannot be forgotten. Lives were lost and lives were changed.

We will remember.

Tune in for the Peachland Recovery Task Force’s Holiday Light-Up Virtual Gala We all love to go to galas.

Dressing up, mingling with friends, a delicious meal, silent auctions, and other fundraisers; and of course, great entertainment - all in support of a worthy cause.

But what do we do in the era of COVID-19? We need to do the right thing, as we continue to help others during this pandemic.

As we enter the holiday season, we can’t hold in-person galas, so charitable organizations lose their ability to raise funds. Can we move our galas to an online and contactless format?

Yes, we can: enter the age of the Virtual Gala!

The Peachland Recovery Task Force will be hosting

our Light-Up Virtual Gala on Friday, December 4 from 6 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. Our gala will be a fundraiser for four of Peachland’s wonderful non-profits: The Boys & Girls Club, the Peachland Wellness Centre, BEEPS (Bat Education & Ecological Protection Society), and the Peachland Sportsmen’s Association. This event coincides with the District of Peachland’s Christmas Light-Up activities.

The virtual gala itself will be held as a Zoom event that attendees will watch on their computers, tablet or other electronic device.

Participants will be emailed a link to click on and will sit in the comfort and safety

of their own homes to enjoy the array of entertainment we have lined up.

The Light-Up Virtual Gala will be emceed by morning show co-host from 103.1 Beach Radio Toby Tannas and Kelowna Councillor Loyal Wooldridge, and will provide fabulous entertainment including: a story told by Santa and Mrs. Claus, Marty Edwards, Sister Act, Marty Edwards & The Revival, Niki Martinus, and Elvis (Adam Fitzpatrick).

But what is a gala without a great meal? For our LightUp Virtual Gala we have partnered with many of our local restaurants, each of which are providing a pur-

chasable meal option. The meals will be prepared and ready for people to pick-up at the restaurants prior to the gala start at about 5:30 p.m. Peachland Wellness Centre volunteers will help accommodate a few participants who can’t drive and pick-up their own meals. In the spirit of giving during this holiday season, participating restaurants have agreed to donate 10 per cent of their proceeds to our event’s beneficiaries.

Our gala will also have a silent auction for people to acquire great swag while increasing the overall charitable funds raised for our four groups. Additional donations can be made and

will be distributed to our four participating charities.

Please note only three of the four supported groups are registered charities. Tax receipts will be provided to donors based on the eligible portion provided to each of those three charities.

Tickets for the event can be purchased online, at trellis.org/light-up-virtual-gala, for $25 per person.

Optional meal tickets, additional donations and the silent auction are also accessed at the Trellis website.

If you would like to sponsor this Peachland event and/or assist with donating a door prize to the silent auction, or if you would like more information, please

call Madeleine Nixon at 778-214-1999.

We will be opening up the silent auction for bids at least one week in advance of the event, and we will be holding an opportunity for in-person viewing of the items at some point prior to the event (specific details will be forthcoming). Those less comfortable with technology will be able to make in-person donations and bids on silent auction items.

Mark Dec. 4 in your calendar, purchase your tickets, make your donations today, and stay tuned for more details.

The Significance of a Poppy JEAN SAUL, CD, MSM

PRESIDENT, ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION BRANCH 69 The Blood Red Poppy of Flanders is the symbol of remembrance introduced to Canada in 1918. The poppy honours the many hundreds of thousands of Canadian men and women who served or are still serving their country.

Each and every year on November 11, we as Canadians gather to remember. We wear a poppy to show our support

and to never forget the sacrifices that have been made.

At the same time, the Royal Canadian Legion launches an annual poppy campaign to raise awareness of Remembrance Day. The poppy is as symbolic today as it was when first launched after the First World War. The poppy is immortalized as an emblem of sacrifice and remembrance for the honouring of the thousands who laid down their lives for those ideals which we as Canadians cherish. The poppy calls upon us to remember not only

those who died, but also those left dependant and those who still suffer from honourable wounds and disabilities.

The poppy challenges us to serve in peace as well as conflicts, to help those who need our help and to protect those who need our protection, whether at home or on peacekeeping missions.

Lord God of Hosts, Be With Us Yet, Lest We Forget, Lest We Forget!

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM...

Remembrance Day 2020 will not be the same or not as we know it. COVID-19, a world pandemic, has forced us to visit this day in a very different way.

We have had to get creative, establish new traditions, but never forget what November 11 means to Canadians.

We enjoy freedom because of the sacrifices Canadian Armed Forces personnel made during the First World War, the Second World War, Korean War and peace keeping missions around the world as a member of the United Nations and NATO. This year, we face restrictions on gathering together as a na-

tion to remember. It is not where you remember as long as you remember.

Over the past few years we have commemorated the 100th anniversary of The Battle of Vimy Ridge, the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War and the 75th anniversary of D-Day. This year would have seen us commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands and the 75th Anniversary of VE Day.

PRESIDENT, ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION BRANCH 69

Remembrance Day 2020 will not be the same or not as we know it. COVID-19, a world pandemic, has forced us to visit this day in a very different way.

We have had to get creative, establish new traditions, but never forget what November 11 means to Canadians.

We enjoy freedom because of the sacrifices Canadian Armed Forces personnel made during the First World War, the Second World War, Korean War and peace keeping missions around the world as a member of the United Nations and NATO. This year, we face restrictions on gathering together as a na-

tion to remember. It is not where you remember as long as you remember.

Over the past few years we have commemorated the 100th anniversary of The Battle of Vimy Ridge, the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War and the 75th anniversary of D-Day. This year would have seen us commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands and the 75th Anniversary of VE Day. We have an obligation to never forget; wear your poppy and remember.

During our service this year we will be holding a Candlelight Tribute to the 21 names inscribed on our cenotaph. A candle will be lit as their names are read out during the Roll of Honour.

Aging men and women may be tempted to eschew home cooking entirely. After all, there are plenty of convenient frozen or take-out foods available that can be whipped up in a snap. However, there are certain benefits to cooking your own meals.

John Moore, DO, an Aetna medical director and senior health specialist, says that cooking can be good for helping to stave off cognitive decline. Dr. Moore notes that, when cooking, the mind is put to use following a recipe and learning new skills and tasks. Furthermore, cooking for oneself can boost seniors’ self-confidence, reassuring them that they can handle an important daily task without having to rely on their family for meals. As long as it is deemed safe (i.e., no sign of cognitive decline or forgetfulness), seniors should be encouraged to continue cooking.

In Memory Of

BERGMAN, TERRANCE DALE (BERGIE) Our hearts are so broken to have to announce the passing of Terry “Bergie” Bergman on October 27, 2020.

Terry passed peacefully in his Peachland home cradled by his family’s love and listening to his favourite Hawaiian music. He is survived by his loving wife and best friend of 44 years, Lorraine Bergman, his cherished daughters and son in laws, Tara Bergman (David) and Bobbi Kay (Mike), and his 6 grandchildren Luke and Isobelle Bergman (and their father, Mike Asselstine), Mataya, Leighton, Westin and Hayden Kay who will forever miss their “Grampy”. He is also survived by his three wonderful older brothers and their loving wives, Leslie Bergman (Josie) of Victoria, Warren Bergman (Shirley) and Barry Bergman, all of Prince George. He had many, many nieces and nephews who will greatly miss Uncle Terry.

He is further survived by his other family, the Cartiers, who he “grew up” with when he met Lorraine at age 16. Carolyn (George), William (Sophie), George (Caroline) and Laura (Ron) will miss him terribly as well, their “big brother from another mother”.

Terry was predeceased by his parents Albin and Evelyn Bergman, his sister, Audrey Innes and two other brothers Wendell and Lyle Bergman.

Terry was born January 8, 1954 in Tisdale Saskatchewan, the baby of the family. Legend has it that the town was so small, he was the New Years baby. His family moved to Prince George in 1956 when he was two; the homestead in Pineview is still in the family. He attended Buckhorn Elem., then Blackburn Jr. High where he made most of his lifelong friends and met his future wife.

He was a pretty good basketball player and was a Prince George Polar in Senior High and made even more friends there! Then came lacrosse and more great friends made playing with the Oldstylers and the beginning of old guy knees. After high school, he trained and achieved his Journeyman Carpenter designation and a welding ticket (he always said he was a great carpenter but only a passable welder). Terry worked in mill construction for many years throughout BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan – all this out of town work made him realize that he needed more family time so he challenged the exam and obtained his Millwright designation after the big family move to Peachland in 1992. He honed his “McGyver” skills first at Weyerhaeuser in Okanagan Falls and then at Tolko Industries in Kelowna and even MORE great friends made! Terry could fix almost anything with his big warm hands and all you had to say was, “this doesn’t work” and he was on it. All he talked about doing in his spare time was to spend time with old and new friends. He loved all his womenfolk, but he was a man’s man and nothing made him happier than camping and fishing, firstly with his best friend and his kids but also with all those friends who he quadded, snowmobiled, hunted, hiked and biked with. Being outdoors doing things like that was his passion.

Due to current world events, the family will gather privately to share memories and lay Terry to rest in the Peachland Cemetery, date to be determined.

Terry was awed and had tremendous admiration for all his caregivers for their determination to keep him on the right side of the grass for so long. Thank you to Doctor Jeff Hoekstra and the Interior Health Palliative care nurses Christine and Lisa for going above and beyond to ensure Terry was able to stay at home during his final days. Also, thank you to Doctor Kong Khoo and the amazing nurses at the cancer clinic who he got to know very well in the four years he was being treated.

Beaver damages Beach Avenue trees after caging is removed JOANNE LAYH

World of Wheels organizers Pam Cunningham and Randy Bloy present an $800 donation to Judy Bedford of the Peachland Food Bank (shown left to right). The funds were raised at their recent inaugural swap meet event.

Four-vehicle collision causes traffic snarl PEACHLAND VIEW Traffic was backed up along Hwy 97 from Clements Cres. to Ponderosa Dr. following a four-vehicle collision last Monday morning.

The accident happened at approximately 10:40 a.m. at Hwy 97 and Ponderosa Ave. after a Chevrolet SUV was unable to stop as it approached the line of ve-

hicles. It struck the rear of a Mazda CX-5, which was pushed into the rear of a Nissan Xterra. That in turn, was pushed into a Ford F150.

All vehicles involved were towed due to the damage and the adult male driver of the F150 was taken to hospital with what are believed to be minor injuries, said RCMP Cpl.

Jocelyn Noseworthy.

The collision is still under investigation.

Someone’s been removing the caging around Peachland’s waterfront trees and as a result a few trees have been chewed by a beaver.

The wire cylinder caging is placed at the base of tree trunks along the lake to prevent beavers from getting to the trees, but it has recently been removed from seven trees along the foreshore.

The caging was found folded up and tucked into the rocks so it had to be human-caused, said Cheryl Wiebe, director of community services.

Wiebe says an industrious beaver has damaged three, although the caging has now been replaced to prevent further damage.

Resident Leslie McKellar spotted the caging removed from a willow along Beach Ave. on Saturday and reported the concern to dis-
