Coun. Keith Fielding announces he’s running for mayor this fall JOANNE LAYH A second Peachland councillor has thrown his hat into the ring in the run for mayor in this year’s municipal election - Coun.

Keith Fielding told the View this week he’ll be seeking a third term as mayor.

Fielding served two terms as Mayor of Peachland from 2008 to 2011 and 2011 to 2014. He made

an unsuccessful bid for re-election in 2014, when he was ousted by Cindy Fortin, before returning to council chambers in 2018 as a councillor.

Last week Coun. Patrick

Help protect communities from wildfires.

If you live in, or are travelling to, a community at risk of a wildfire.

• Follow campfire bans and restrictions • Stay informed on current wildfire activity • Download the BC Wildfire Service app on your mobile device for up-to-date wildfire information

Have A Plan. Be Prepared. Stay Informed.

Van Minsel announced he’d be running for mayor this year; Mayor Fortin hasn’t publicly announced yet if she’ll be seeking re-election.

Before entering politics,

Fielding’s professional career included senior management and management consulting roles with the Greater London Council, the British Broadcasting Corporation, the Bermuda Government and the City of Toronto. He relocated to Peachland 21 years ago, where he’s currently president of Peachland Seniors Support Society, chair of the Phase 2 seniors housing committee and a member of the Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Change. He’s also past president of the Peachland Wellness Centre and a past director of both the Regional District of Central Okanagan and Okanagan Basin Water Board.

Fielding says his priorities are open and respectful governance, fiscal responsibility, no four-laning of Hwy 97, managed growth and building community.

If elected, he envisions a reorganization of the planning department to ensure it can effectively plan, as well as effectively respond.

He’d also like to engage the community in a review and update of the Charette-derived Downtown Sustainable Plan, the Beach Avenue Neighbourhood Plan, and Official Community Plan elements that “lack suitable clarity and cause dissent.”

Fielding says Peachland needs to establish growth targets consistent with the

community’s vision for its future and ensure that sustainable development principles and the need to maintain Peachland’s small town charm underpin the management of future growth.

“I want our future to be defined by our citizens rather than by the ambitions of developers or the personal views of elected officials,” states Fielding.

If elected, Fielding says he wants a council that is open and respectful, with a consultative orientation that encourages citizen input and reflects the community’s will in its decision making.

He supports the goals of the ‘Hub’ committee and the next phase of seniors housing.

Fielding says he stands for responsible and transparent fiscal management.

Some of the ways he sees that being achieved are through the continuous quest for efficiency and effectiveness in all district services, development cost charges and amenity contribution revenues that truly reflect the costs of growth and the financial benefits accruing to developers from rezoning, the pursuit of all attainable grant sources, and taxation that is linked to inflation, unless otherwise directed as the result of informed community demand.

Council gives third reading to protections services building borrowing bylaw JOANNE LAYH

taxes will be removed soon, including a sewer main force parcel tax

“

At their last regular meeting, Peachland council unanimously gave third reading to a bylaw that would allow the town to borrow up to $17.5 million for a protective services building to house the fire department, Peachland Community Policing, and possibly the local BC ambulance service, as well. The building may also include a small office for the RCMP, CAO Joe Creron said.

Third reading of the bylaw paves the way for a referendum, which will take place in conjunction with the municipal election on Oct. 15, when taxpayers will decide whether or not to allow the town to proceed with borrowing.

“One of the reasons we want a referendum in conjunction with our election is it saves us $25,000,” explained Creron.

“If the referendum fails, then at that point we can’t build a fire hall. If the referendum is successful, we still can’t proceed until council gives us the approval through a fourth and final reading. Plus, we need to find out what the final costs are. All through the process, even when we have a final cost, council can still stop and say, ‘hold on’.”

A new building for the fire department is estimated to cost about $20 million, although Creron noted that 30 per cent of that cost is contingency.

The town is looking to borrow a maximum of $17.5 million, which would have a significant tax impact.

The maximum estimated cost per household is $401 annually in the form of a parcel tax, which would be $34 per month for 30 years, at an assumed rate of 4.3 per cent. That estimate is based on the current number of properties within the district so costs will decrease with an increase of households and development.

About $200 in parcel

partment is located on 3rd St but the plan is to construct a new building

that’s been in place since 1998 and set to expire in 2023.

The town’s finance director says that means effectively there would only be a $200 increase in parcel tax.

“How are we going to be creative?” asked Creron. “We’re going to look for grants, we’re going to consider partnerships and we’ll look at a variety of ways to try to figure out how to bring this in so it’s palatable for our community and affordable.”

Creron also said that after the referendum they may choose to delay construction of the building for a while to work out partnerships, get grant funding or wait for more parcel taxes to fall off.

“We will do our very best to try to bring this in so it’s affordable,” said Creron.

“We need also to remember that the existing fire hall has value and that can be offset against the additional cost of the new facility somehow,” said Coun. Keith Fielding.

Director of finance Garry Filafilo said the parcel tax for the building would be phased in.

He also mentioned that the town could look at selling assets they don’t need.

Currently the fire de-

on a lot the district owns at San Clemente Ave and 13th St. The municipality says improved community safety is the number one reason for relocating the fire department to a larger, more centralized location.

Relocating next to the highway would improve emergency response times as currently paidon-call firefighters must travel through traffic-calmed Beach Ave to get to the fire hall and once they’ve found a parking spot, fire trucks must also leave through Beach Ave, where the speed limit is just 30 km/h.

Peachland fire chief Dennis Craig estimates the advantages of the new location would improve response times by two to three minutes.

“Given the nature of wildfire and the threat it poses to the community I think we’re certainly going to need an upgraded protective services building at some time in the near future and certainly the cost is going to be significant,” said Coun. Mike Kent.

“I believe the town is desperately in need of a new fire hall and will support this, but I also would caution those working on this project to make sure that we get an

in which it is constructed is the most efficient possible and that the best value is driven out of this project at every turn of the page,” said Coun.

supportive of the project, but questioned Filafilo about where this would leave the municipality’s borrowing power.

Filafilo said his conser-

vative estimate is that the municipality would have an additional $5 million in borrowing capacity, based on 2020 figures from the province. 2021 figures won’t be available until November, he said.

“This is very necessary for this community,” said Mayor Cindy Fortin.

The fire department’s current building, Station 21, is about 60 years old and was never designed to be a fire hall. Originally it housed the public works department and later morphed into a fire station.

An open house was held last month but only 31 members of the public attended. A second public engagement session will take place prior to the referendum.

Living in a two-tiered society Dear Mr. Albas, On June 10 of this year, my husband and I, who are both Canadian citizens, returned to B.C. after a trip to Washington State. We have property and family there and were unable to visit or take care of our home there due to COVID restrictions for two and a half years. Upon our crossing the border, we were interviewed by an officer from Canada Health, who fined us each $5,700. for noncompliance with the COVID regulations.

We are firm believers in our constitutional right to bodily autonomy and freedom of choice regarding what we put in our bodies. Our decision to disobey mandates that we consider illegal and immoral has made it clear that our dem-

ocratic rights are not respected by the Health Department and this government. Thus, we claim conscientious objection to the draconian measures that have created a two-tiered society in our once free and open nation.

We fully intend to fight our fines in court and make the case for ourselves and all Canadians regarding the onerous threat we perceive to our democracy and our personal rights. If there is any way, as our representative, you can bring these issues to Parliament and help to preserve the rights and freedoms that we as Canadians cherish, you would be doing a great service to all of us.

Respectfully, Joe and Jessica Klein, Peachland

Clements Crescent dev’t not welcome At the June 14 public hearing, it was clear that many people were against the 84-unit building proposed by Porchlight Developments on Clements Cres.

This project is not welcomed in the neighbourhood. It doesn’t meet the needs of the population and is way too big for our small town.

That evening many concerns were pointed out to the council through letters and speakers. First, the land is located on a flooding area and in a protected area for salmon and bats. It was also raised that this land is one of the last designated farming lands in Peachland. It was suggested that the construction of affordable townhomes would serve a better quality of life for young families, instead of the proposed 500

to 850 square foot apartments.

Locals were also concerned with the impact this development would have on traffic flow, particularly surrounding the elementary school.

The current traffic flow is already a problem in the area, given that there is only one route in and out of the small neighbourhood, and safety issues are a priority.

Finally, a petition of close to 100 signatures was submitted to the council in hope of denying the project.

Considering the number of citizens opposed to the development, I really hope the council will listen to the population and vote against the construction of the apartments.

It was a family affair where picnic blankets were spread throughout the park and others gathered at the designated dining area. Peachlander Papa Thom played tunes throughout the evening as shoppers wandered amongst the booths. The HUB Market will return each Tuesday to Cousins Park until the end of September, however, market hours are changing to 4 pm to 8 pm.

Heirloom handiwork displays welcome at the Peachland Fall Fair SIGRID ORFORD I’m so excited that the fall fair back is coming back this year.

If you spent your COVID lockdown making quilts, knitting up a storm, or embroidering a beautiful picture, please bring your needlework to the fair. We also would love to see your sewing, tatting, or felting.

Entries are judged on the basis of design, degree of diffi-

culty, skill, neatness and general appearance.

If you have any heirlooms that showcase beautiful work of the past, we would love to display them. They will not be judged but will be enjoyed.

If needlework isn’t your passion, the fall fair has something for everyone from fruits to nuts, baking, canning, flowers, photography, vegetable, eggs and honey, and handicrafts. There is also a junior category, for the creative kids.

Please pick up a fall fair booklet for information on all

of the categories.

Did you know?

• The sewing machine was invented in 1850 by Isaac Singer; • Quilted garments still exist in ancient Egyptian tombs; and • Queen Victoria learned to crochet during the potato famine, supporting the sale of Irish lace.

FOR SENIORS The different types of dementia care professionals The World Health Organization describes dementia as a syndrome that causes a deterioration of cognitive function beyond what is typical of biological aging. Around the world, more than 55 million people live with dementia, and there are around 10 million new cases each year.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, but there are others, including Dementia with Lewy Bodies, vascular dementia and frontotemporal dementia, according to WebMD. People diagnosed with dementia may need to rely on a vast care network to help them through every stage of their condition. Here is a brief rundown of the various professionals individuals may interact with as they navigate life with dementia.

First responders

People with dementia may become confused and disoriented, and it’s common for them to get lost not far from home.
