LISA SCOTT, OASISS
Earlier this month, staff with the Okanagan and Similka meen Invasive Species Society (OASISS) met with one of B.C.’s Invasive Mussel Defence Teams at an inspection station located on Highway 97C just outside of Peachland. The two teams shared information on their respective jobs, and OASISS staff were able to see firsthand what happens when travellers arrive at a station with watercraft. OASISS has been working to raise awareness about inva sive mussels and other aquatic species for the last decade in the Okanagan Valley. Our work is supported by the Okana gan Basin Water Board. The staff interact with boaters at launches and set up information booths at farmers’ markets and community events. Youth are also targeted through presentations and games at summer camps. Since 2015, the B.C. Government has been working to prevent the introduction of zebra and quagga mussels into the province. Prevention efforts focus on inspecting boats, monitoring lakes, educating the public and coordinating actions with neighbouring jurisdictions. If you are transporting a watercraft in B.C., it is man datory to stop and report to all invasive mussel watercraft inspection stations along your travel route. Failing to stop at an inspection station can result in a fine of $345.
The OASISS team met up with the Penticton Mussel Defence crew just outside Peachland earlier this month.
Applications will only be received during regular office days and hours during this period. Application forms are available at the DISTRICT OF PEACHLAND office located at 5806 Beach Avenue, or at the District of Peachland Website www.peachland.ca/elections

Long-time ops clerk bids farewell to Peachland
Dear Peachland residents and friends: I AM RETIRING! I feel so very lucky to have been able to stay as the District of Peachland’s operations clerk for almost three decades, Aug 15, 1994 – Aug 26, 2022. During my time there have been so many changes in full time and seasonal staff, admin istration and council that its hard to count all the peo ple that I have worked with over the 28 years, includ ing eight different mayors and council, seven or eight CAOs, seven or eight direc tors of operations and many, many (75+) co-workers who left or retired. In my years here, I feel like I’ve gone through a technological revolution. When I started, no one had cell phones. We used twoway radios. I mostly knew where everyone was and what they were doing. I felt connected and in the loop. Cell phones changed all of that. My voice was the alarm voice for the water department for a few years and the water crew would make fun of “me” waking them up in the wee hours. For a year or two, my of fice was in what is now the planning office downtown, so that contractors and workers would have easy access to operations while the downtown revitalization was ongoing. I was work ing on a data spreadsheet at that time, a huge proj ect that had me dreaming numbers all night. It was a local engineer, looking over my shoulder one day that offered an insight into the program I was teaching myself to use. His comment made a huge difference in my use of the program. Peo ple know things and when someone offers their exper tise, listen and learn. As much as I would have loved to attend college or university, I did not attend either. I learned ‘on the job’ and helped finance, admin and planning with a variety of work. My tasks included the mundane, the monoto nous and the creative that stretched my patience, knowledge and abilities. I worked on the Peachland website upon the request from the CAO back in the late 1990s. I learned about html code from library books and from my chil dren who knew much more than I did. I knew nothing and that learning curve went straight up for years. My advice to the young people starting out in the working world is accept opportunities outside your comfort zone. Definitely not all opportunities are easy or fun but they can later make for great stories and new skills. Having a sense of humour is a must and helps one get through the not-soniceWhenjobs.I got a rescue dog from the SPCA, I was very lucky to be able to bring her to work. My co-work er Mirjam and I, at noon hours, scrounged thrown away materials from the garbage and metal bins, cobbled together fencing and built a gate to create a yard for both our dogs. My dog Shadow (2005 – 2020) and I would go out at noon on “my” trails in summer and winter; walking, run ning, and snowshoeing. As we both got older and slow er, our joy in being out on a trail never diminished. I have also commuted by bicycle every year for all of these 28 years, not every day of the week, but for sure at least one or two times a week from April – Sep. I always tried for three times a week but I found myself a wimp for weather (cold, wind, rain, extreme heat, smoke) and it can be hard to be motivated in spring and fall to get on the bike in the dark at 5:30 a.m. for the one hour and 20 minute commute. Princeton Ave is a killer hill but oh the joy in the after work downhill blast! I think my co-workers cringed at my speed, and on those days when I would tow Shadow in the trailer, I am sure her legs would be spread-eagled and toenails grasping for purchase as we careened around the cor ners with her ears flapping and her tongue hanging out. She never refused to get in the trailer and she warbled with excitement as we be gan. Over the years as I aged I never lost my drive to get up Princeton hill faster

This is a very active and involved com munity and I am happy to have spent a great part of my life working for you and the Dis trict of Peachland. You’ve been awesome. Am going to find other trails now…. Linda Nicholas, Operations Clerk
PEACHLAND VIEW 5AUGUST 19, 2022 NEWS | OPINION than the last time (seconds count), or the sheer joy of going fast downhill. I am impressed with anyone, young or old, that takes on the challenge of cycling up Princ eton Ave. I love cycling to work and that last hill was always a challenge no matter which bike I used; a 1984 vintage Cannondale, a 2016 Cannondale or a creaky old mountain bike. My best time up is 23 minutes and 30 seconds, which is not too shabby for a senior. Now that I am retired, I am never cycling up that hill ever again. Ha. I can hear some of you saying never say never and whispering, “e-bike, e-bike!”
Council unanimously approve form and character DP for Crystal dev’t JOANNE LAYH At their last regular meeting Peachland coun cil unanimously supported the issuance of a form and character development per mit that approves the design quality and character, in cluding landscaping, siting, form, exterior design and finish of buildings and other structures, and any specific features of the Todd’s RV site project proposed by Porchlight Developments. The proposal to build six six-storey buildings and four luxury beachside bunga lows at 3946, 3966 and 3976 Beach Ave, currently the site of Todd’s RV, received the fi nal go ahead from Peachland council back in June. Since then, council has been presented with a package of renderings that identify the form and char acter details of the project. In her presentation to council planner Lor Pel legrino described it as “what will be a very iconic and very unique and interesting development.” She noted the exterior will have climate appropriate finishes, and “the light colours proposed will reduce the heat island effect.”“Ithink it’s been very well thought through and I’m very impressed by the form and character, so I have no difficulty supporting this motion,” said Coun. Keith Fielding. “I think this developer has done everything we asked from them, and they listened to us. I’m very happy to see the 15 parking spots in front because we need those for that area,” said Coun. Pat rick Van Minsel. “I think this development will be an example for many other developers coming to this town.”Coun. Mike Kent said a resort type development like this is exactly what Peach land deserves and wanted to know what the timeline for building would be. An architect representing Porchlight said their goal is to work on presales in con junction with detailed design drawings and hopefully have shovels in the ground next spring followed by a twoyear construction period on the first of two phases. The project is being marketed by Chamberlain Property Group as Crystal Lake Okanagan Residences. To facilitate the upgrade of the campground to a 46-unit tourist/residential project, earlier this year the OCP was amended and the site was rezoned to CD11 Todd’s Resort Comprehensive De velopment Zone from C6 Campground and R1 Single Detached Residential, which allows for tourist accommo dation and vacation resort residential accommodations. This spring the Minis try of Transportation and infrastructure also granted their approval, which was a requirement due to the prop erty’s proximity to Hwy 97.

Bennett estimates that over a 30-year period the adven ture park will inject as much as $24 million into the local economy and generate $250,000 in tenure fees for the province. a 30-year lease allows us access to flexible for expanding the activi ties we have at ZipZone,” said Bennett.

The adventure park was initially granted a tenure in 2010 and began operations in 2011.

Matthew 25:35 “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.” Bennett told the View he’s always looking for some thing new to add at the park and he has “a couple of ideas.”The 30-year tenure is for 17 acres, a reduction from the parcel they originally occupied. “Our original tenure was for 48 acres, because at the time, 12 years ago, we weren’t sure what the layout of the park was going to be, so we asked for a larger envelope. Now that we’re established, we only need tenure on the land we actually occupy,” said Bennett. ZipZone is Canada’s highest freestyle zipline, span ning Peachland Creek, about 8km along Princeton Ave.

• Work with a fiduciary. Fiduciaries differ from other financial advisors in a significant way. Accord ing to Investopedia, fiduciaries are legally bound to put their client’s best interests ahead of their own. Working with a fiduciary can provide peace of mind for individuals who want to know the person they’re trusting to guide their financial decisions is working on their behalf. That peace of mind can be especial ly valuable for individuals over 50 who don’t have as much time to make up for financial losses as younger people. Investopedia notes that some brokerage firms do not want or allow their brokers to be fiduciaries, so investors should make sure they’re aware of the legal responsibilities of anyone they trust to manage their money.
• Monitor the progress of your retirement accounts. Tracking the performance of retirement accounts takes on more significance after 50, even for individ uals who don’t see themselves retiring anytime soon. Monitor how particular investments are performing and reallocate funds if certain ones have not per formed well in some time. Most investments will go up and down, but people over 50 can monitor perfor mance more closely than they used to so they get an idea of which ones are working for them and which could be compromising their ability to enjoy financial flexibility in the decades to come.

What to do with your portfolio after 50
• Resist the temptation to avoid stocks entirely. A recent study published in the medical journal The Lancet found that life expectancy, which has in creased dramatically across the globe since 1900, is expected to continue increasing in developed coun tries in the decades to come. That means people won’t only be working longer, but living longer as well. In vestors 50 and over can prepare for that longer life expectancy by utilizing the growth potential of stocks even after they hit the half century mark. Limiting exposure to risk after 50 is still important, but avoid ing investment risks entirely could lead to a financial shortfall down the road. Managing a portfolio after 50 requires careful con sideration of various factors. Deft management of an investment portfolio after 50 can ensure investors don’t outlive their money.
A fiftieth birthday is often characterized as a mile stone moment. Despite that reputation, upon crossing the half-century threshold, individuals typically don’t feel that much different than they did when they were still a fun-loving 49-year-old. Though there might not be much to distinguish a 49-year-old from a 50-yearold, a fiftieth birthday is a good time to reassess certain parts of life, including finances. Conventional financial wisdom has long suggested reducing risk as retirement age draws closer. But a 2021 survey from American Advisors Group found that 18 per cent of respondents indicated their inten tion to work past the age of 70, while another 12 per cent indicated they have no plans to ever stop work ing full-time. Conventional financial wisdom rooted in retiring around the age of 65 may not apply to in dividuals who intend to work well past that age. That means recently minted fiftysomethings could benefit from adopting a new perspective on managing their money after they reach 50.
