Ponderosa golf course on track to open in 2013 by Dave Preston Although the Peachland rumour mill says otherwise, a lot has been going on at the Ponderosa development, according to the president of Treegroup. Norm Porter gave this reporter a guided tour Monday of the results of the work that has gone on to prepare the golf course for a 2013 opening. Porter said Monday that ongoing negotiations with the district and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure have concluded and a deal has been struck for a new highway intersection at 13th Street. Treegroup will pay the bill to four-lane several hundred metres of highway from Clements Crescent to Ponderosa Drive, with proper turning lanes. Ponderosa will be reconfigured by extending it north along the highway to connect with 13th Street. Traffic lights will be installed at the new 13th Street intersection and the work is to commence this fall, according to Porter. The news of a new intersection and lights comes soon after an announcement by Mayor Keith Fielding that traffic lights will be installed at Clements Crescent. For about 16 months, a construction crew from Greg Norman Golf Design has been hard at work at the base of Pincushion Mountain and the new 18-hole Ponderosa Golf Course is beginning to look like a golf course. Porter said Norman has been in Peachland several times this year, supervising the forming and shaping of tee boxes, fairways and greens. About half the new fairways are in place, with quite a few tee off areas and greens taking shape. Nearly all of the material required for the Ponderosa development is coming from the property, according to Porter. There are hills of rock,
gravel, sand and topsoil accumulated in places, ready to be used to fill certain areas, as road base and on fairways. The basic shape of the new Ponderosa village centre is done. Three small lakes have been built near the centre, to be used to accumulate water to irrigate the golf course. Work will continue through the fall, including four holes on the back of Pincushion Mountain that overlook the Trepanier Valley. Porter said the goal is to have the course ready for seeding by April 1 of next year. If the old Ponderosa course offered wonderful views, the views from the new course are stunning. Standing on the champion tee box of Hole 12, one can look out over the top of Squally Point in the distance. Number 12 is unique because of how far away the green is from the tees. Regular users will face a journey in the 500s of yards, while champions will face a 700 yard monster. Then there’s Hole 6, a favourite of construction crews. It has no lake view, but is surrounded by forest and features two rock outcroppings on the fairway that golfers will have to navigate through to make it to the green. A few more procedural steps need to be taken before home sales at Ponderosa can begin but Porter said that’s not far off and there has already been a lot of interest shown in Ponderosa real estate. The Ponderosa Discovery Centre at Peachland Centre mall has been converted into a sales centre and there is a familiar object at the front that might bring back memories to some. Shortly before the big fire that destroyed the old golf clubhouse, the previous owners of Ponderosa commissioned a 3D scale model of the property. It was on display at the clubhouse but was lost in the fire. Treegroup has resurrected the idea and now a new 3D model is on display, giving a real sense of the Ponderosa project.

Mayor Keith Fielding
September 23, 2011
Terry Condon
Peter Schierbeck
Charlette Broadoway
Vern Moberg
Lindsay Bell
Jean Fraser
Six of seven current council members seeking re-election by Dave Preston Peachland’s second longest running councillor will retire from local politics this fall, while six other council members will seek re-election. “I’m not going to run again,” said Coun. Jean Fraser. “I think it’s just time.” After serving on the school board for several years, Fraser was first elected in 1995. She has served as councillor for 17 years consecutively. Only former fire chief Don Wilson, who now serves as museum curator, has served a longer term — 19 years straight, from 1978 to 1996. The six remaining council members have all announced they will run again in the November civic election. Mayor Keith Fielding is the only official mayoral candidate at this time. Fielding has served three years on council as mayor. Terry Condon announced on the weekend that he will seek a third term as councillor.
One-term councillor Peter Schierbeck, who was first elected in 2008, will also be seeking another term on council. “I’m definitely running again,” said Charlette Broadoway. She was elected in a by-election last October to replace Ernie Hurd, who quit his position earlier last year as councillor. Vern Moberg served six years on council in the 1980s and 1990s and has also been a councillor for the last three years. He said he too will run again this November. Lindsay Bell, who was first elected in 2008, has also said she will seek re-election this fall. Nomination forms for November’s election can be picked up at the municipal office on Third Street. Peachlanders likely won’t get a sense of who else is running until the period of October 4 to 14 -- the period during which nomination forms can be dropped off with the chief election officer.
Permanent Peachland glass recycling facility proposed by Dave Preston Peachland will likely have a permanent recycling bin for glass after a somewhat successful trial run of a recycling depot at the municipal works yard. In partnership with the regional district, the municipality set up a pilot recycling depot for one week per month for June, July and August. Doug Allin, director of operations, reported Tuesday that three pick ups of comingled recyclables totaled 890 kilograms. One pick up of glass totaled 795 kilograms. “The data illustrates there is a need for glass recycling and a lesser need for comingled recyclables,” said Allin.

A recommendation from Allin suggested the district set up a glass recycling service on an ongoing basis. The cost would be $75 per month for bin rental and twice yearly pick up at a cost of $250 each time. In total, the cost would be $1,400 per year. Mayor Keith Fielding asked about locating the bin at the works yard and Allin said staff wants to have it in a place that can be locked at night and monitored during the day so that unwanted items, like couches, don’t get dropped off. The glass recycling cost will be added to 2012 budget deliberations.

Crown land campfires permitted Campfires are once again permitted in the Kamloops Fire Centre, which includes the Okanagan Valley, but only on Crown land. The Ministry of Forests lifted a campfire ban that was in place at noon Thursday but a ban remains in place for the entire Regional District of Central Okanagan. Open burning bans remain in place on Crown land and throughout the Central Okanagan. Campfires on Crown land cannot be bigger than a half-metre high by a half-metre wide and a minimum of eight litres of water must be nearby to prevent fire escapes.
No changes to downtown parking despite concerns by Dave Preston There won't be any changes to Beach Avenue parking despite a plea from the Peachland Chamber of Commerce for restrictions to free up parking spots. The chamber solicited input from its membership about problems in the downtown area, including parking, the need for more washrooms and moorage. Respondents to a survey were not in favour of a bylaw restricting parking on Beach Avenue but a narrow margin did favour a two-hour parking limit on the west side of Beach Avenue downtown and at the Gateway. "Rather than enforcing this time limit by bylaw, the respondents were in favour of a courtesy notice," states a chamber report. Quite a few businesses were in favour of customer only signage in front of businesses, according to the survey. The report notes several other comments made by business owners and several other recommendations, including: * The municipal parking lots behind the Edgewater and Baptist Church are not well signed; * The lot behind the Edgewater would be more efficient if parking spots were marked with lines; * The district should explore options for additional public washrooms on the beach, with one located between the
museum and Swim Bay and another between Swim Bay and Todd Road; * Paid overnight short-term moorage should be considered for the day wharf downtown. The suggestion of customer only signs did not go over well with one councillor. "I really hate that," said Coun. Peter Schierbeck, at a meeting Tuesday. "Anything that says you're not allowed to park here restricts a potential client." Schierbeck said he feels business owners and employees are the biggest contributors to parking problems on Beach Avenue. Chamber representative Darlene Hartford said 17 business owners responded to the chamber survey. The chamber report both suggested customer only parking signs or a two hour limit on parking in front of businesses and that the town's bylaw officer could enforce the rule with friendly reminders. Coun. Terry Condon asked if the chamber had considered that business people could share enforcement. Hartford said that possibility had not been discussed. Council members had differing views on whether the day wharf should be opened to some kind of paid overnight parking. The chamber's report was accepted but council made no move to do anything about its recommendations.

Editor’s Perspective
Bye Bob
W
Apple harvest season
ednesday was a tough day. In the midst of preparing stories for the View and all the myriad of editing jobs that goes along with that, I learned that Bob Sugden passed away overnight. I did not know Bob very well, at least on a personal level, but he was one of the individuals in Peachland I seemed to have known forever. It is astounding to realize that Bob only lived in our town for four years, moving here in 2007. Frankly, he was a Peachland fixture and it seems to me he’s been here forever. Of all the people I’ve met in my life, 99.9 per cent end up calling me Dave. Anyone calling me David usually gets corrected. Bob was one of those rare individuals who used the latter and it just seemed to fit coming from him. Bob always seemed to have a smile or that sheepish grin when he tilted his head just so. He continued to smile, even though cancer was working away at him. There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot Bob wasn’t involved in. A lot of people come to Peachland to retire, to kick back, to relax, but Bob went into high gear. There was no calm transition for Bob Sugden. He quickly became involved in the Highway 97 Task Force and helped that group go from a few wishful thinkers to what is arguably the largest community organization in Peachland. Bob was involved in the economic development committee, sports, arts, culture and became so well known for his wisdom and abilities that even district council called on him to help them out a few times. I wish I could have gotten to know Bob better. I can only go by what I saw and heard at countless meetings I covered and casual conversations here and there. The thing that strikes me about Bob the most is how he moved to our laid back little town and immediately decided he would give. He wasn’t even here long enough to give back; he just gave. Peachland is better off for having Bob Sugden. He truly, deeply cared about his town and the people that lived in it. The Bob Sugden I knew didn’t bitch, whine or complain. He was a doer, a guy who found out about a problem, rolled up his sleeves and did whatever was needed. We could all take a lesson from the Book of Bob, how to just get things done. He was a credit to his community and a great example of how caring and hard work can change things for the better. Bob was a great example that one doesn’t have to live in Peachland for 20 years, one doesn’t have to have a family line going back generations locally, to be a positive contributor to the community. All you have to do is care, try and keep on working. It’s funny how I didn’t know how much I cared until Wednesday morning. Bye Bob. Dave Preston, Editor

Peek into the Past
Apparently these apple pickers didn’t believe in pruning their trees and dwarf varieties weren’t even thought of. Wooden ladders would improve over the years with steel rods to reinforce the steps and make them much lighter. Expensive aluminum ladders were best of all. The one big improvement for picking fruit was the hydraulic Giraffe, but it was of no use on steep side hills like found in much of Peachland. The other interesting aspect of yesteryear was the rows of ditches that ran through orchards to water all the trees. The water was controlled with a hoe or shovel to open and close the ditches. Summer was over when the water was turned off in the flumes and your cistern had been filled for the winter. No meters necessary! Peachland Historical Society photo

There are many faces of dementia Dear Editor; The faces of dementia are individuals who are living with the disease. They are also the families and friends caring for a loved one on the journey. They are researchers who are working hard to find a cure. They are advocates who want to see improved dementia care in our province. They are also donors, leaders, and volunteers supporting a vision of a world without dementia. Families on the dementia journey need support to face the realities and consequences of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. Today, people are being diagnosed at a much younger age, as early as in their 40’s and 50’s, and the incidence of the disease is increasing with our aging population. The recent World Alzheimer Report 2011 indicates there is a treatment gap, that early interventions are beneficial but that sadly very few people are getting an early diagnosis. This means persons with dementia and their families cannot access beneficial treatments and support that they need. This means they are on the dementia journey alone. We can’t let that happen to our loved ones, our friends, our colleagues and our community neighbours. This heartbreaking illness impacts everyone and it will take working together to turn the rising tide of dementia. Currently in six communities across B.C., the Ministry of Health and regional health authorities have partnered with the Society to reach out to doctors and other health professionals to increase opportunities for early diagnosis and early interventions. Research gives us hope to know the causes and find a cure so that one day we will prevent the disease from taking hold of individual lives and families. But until we win the fight against the second most feared disease among Canadian baby boomers, alleviating the personal and social consequences of the disease will be a core priority. It has to be. We all have a role in turning the rising tide of dementia. Challenge your stereotypes about people with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia. Educate yourself about the warning signs if not for yourself then for a

Sound system is just fine Dear Editor; There is absolutely nothing wrong with the portable sound system of the community centre. It is adequate for the space it is being used in and has all the features necessary to produce quality sound. I have used it myself on several occasions when I was performing at the Remembrance Day ceremonies. The reason it doesn’t seem to function correctly at times is because it is being used by inexperienced operators. The days when one could grab a microphone and push the on button are long gone. Today’s sound systems have a myriad of controls, most of which are for equalization; that is the shaping of the sound to address such problems as room acoustics, feed back, etc. To say, as mentioned in the article, that a system is, “Prone to feed back,” is simply ridiculous and does nothing but demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of the subject. So now we are consulting sound companies who will, of course, recommend the installation of a com-

District to spend $77,000 to finally close old landfill by Dave Preston The District of Peachland will spend $77,000 to finish a project 11 years overdue. In 1999, Urban Systems prepared a closure plan for Peachland’s landfill to meet the requirements of the Ministry of Environment, Doug Allin, director of operations, told council Tuesday. That fall, work began on remediating the old dump site, which is used present day as a composting site. Work may have begun on the ministry approved plan 12 years ago, but at some time the work just stopped. “There’s no indication as to why it stopped,” said Allin, who added the ministry wants the remaining remediation work done. Work to be completed includes: * Topographic survey; * Preparation of a detailed site plan; * Geotechnical investigation; * Groundwater monitoring program; * Surface water monitoring program;
* Landfill gas monitoring; * Site seeding. Estimates from outside contractors total $77,000 to complete the work required by the ministry. Allin said all but $6,100 of that amount is sitting in a reserve fund set aside for the landfill closure. Several council members asked if the former dump
site could be used as a park or recreation area. Allin said the remediation work would have to be completed first before any ideas could be looked at. CAO Elsie Lemke said the dump site is sitting on Crown land but that the district would have a long term lease on the land and Peachland will be responsible for maintaining the site for years to come.
Qualified operator needed Continued from page 4 pletely new system costing many thousands of dollars, because that’s what they do. It’s like saying to a restaurant owner, “I’m hungry. What do you think I should do?” A new system will not produce better or more reliable sound unless it is used by people who know what they’re doing. All that was needed to be done in the first place was to hire a qualified operator to run the existing equipment. Felix Possak, Peachland

Westside tipping fees going up Contributed The regional district board has approved tipping fee increases starting January 1 for garbage and other solid waste materials at the Westside Residential Waste Disposal and Recycling Centre. The fee amendments to the Solid Waste Management Bylaw are the same as those that have been approved by the City of Kelowna for the Glenmore Landfill, so waste disposal fees are consistent across the Central Okanagan. As of January 1, the cost of disposing bagged garbage will rise to $2.50 per
bag (currently $1 per bag) or $8 for up to 250 kilograms (currently $6) or $65 per metric tonne for loads over 250 kilograms (currently $55). While up to 250 kilograms of yard waste will continue to be accepted without charge, loads greater than 250 kilograms will cost $40 per metric tonne ($25 currently) and $65 per metric tonne if material is larger than 20 centimetres in diameter. The last time some of the fees increased at these facilities was 2006. It’s the first time the bag and under 250 kilogram garbage disposal fees have gone up since they began during the 1990’s.

The building at the corner of Eighth and Beach is back to its regular activity – every morning and afternoon and nearly all evenings there’s something going on. Aerobics for the Not so Young started on Wednesday, with nine participants. It’s not too strenuous but enough to get the heart going a bit faster. Come and give it a try and if you have a small exercise ball or a mat, bring it along. Aerobics is Wednesdays at 9:30 am with a drop-in fee of $3. 50+ membership required. We have physically active classes that we offer: Taryn’s Yoga (Wednesday at 1:30 pm), Kay’s Tai Chi (Monday at noon), Iron & Silk (Thursday at 11 am), and Carpet Bowling (Tues. and Sat. at 10 am). We also have classes that exercise the brain, namely chess and bridge. The chess group is small but faithful and could sure use some more players. Several of these players would be willing to give instruction to beginners. If you’ve always had a yen to give it a

go, come out on Wednesdays at 1 pm. You won’t be sorry. The Tuesday night bridge games are also in need of more players. This is contract bridge, not duplicate, and not so serious that you would be afraid of making mistakes. Eva would welcome you to the experienced group if you are one who has been playing a while and the novice group would enjoy your participation at their tables. This is not beginners bridge, but is for those who have played before but are a little rusty, or those who know the basics but are a bit hesitant. Both games are at 7 pm on Tuesdays. The last big bingo pot of $250 was won last month and the pot is building again. Marie always has something special up her sleeve to make it interesting. Thursdays at 6:45 pm, (doors open at 5:30). Friday art classes will be starting next week. Sharon has interesting instructors lined up for this year. Please call her at 250-767-6556 for more information. The first potluck supper/meeting of the season is Friday, September 23 and will feature The Old Time Fiddlers as entertainment at 7 pm, following dinner at 6 pm. Bring a large portion of your favourite dish and your own implements and come and join us. Membership is not necessary and everyone is welcome. Tickets for the fall bus trip are starting to move. This is the trip on Friday, October 14 to Oliver, where we will have a tour of the Okanagan Gleaners. This volunteer run organization receives excess produce from farmers and dries it for soup mix, which is shipped to various needy folk around the world. After a short visit there we shall have lunch at an Oliver restaurant. Tickets of $15 cover the cost of the bus. Lunch is no host. Come in to the centre weekday mornings from 9:30 to 11:30 am and get your ticket. Don’t leave it too long as our bus trips usually sell out. Cheers for now, hope to see you at the Centre.

ORL launches enhanced catalogue system
Contributed Regular visitors to the Okanagan Regional Library’s website and online catalogue will notice a big change as the ORL launches a new enhanced catalogue with social networking features. The catalogue is the most visited part of the ORL website, where customers can search for resources, place holds and manage their accounts. The new, enhanced catalogue will include all of these functions, plus add interactive elements such as being able to write comments and rate materials, create reading lists and follow recommendations of other library users throughout North America.
This new catalogue is powered through software called BiblioCommons, a company based in Toronto. Over the past two years, BiblioCommons software has been implemented to manage catalogues at some of the largest public libraries throughout the continent, including the New York Public Library. Using the enhanced catalogue means ORL customers will be able to view comments and read recommendations from library users at all libraries that run BiblioCommons software. “This enhancement really brings the ORL’s catalogue into the social networking age,” said Lesley Dieno, the ORL’s Executive Director. “It allows customers to interact and participate in the library experience in much the same way Facebook acts for their social lives or the way some book retail websites allow for ratings and comments.” Both the previous standard version of the catalogue and the enhanced one will be available from the ORL homepage so customers comfortable with the previous catalogue can continue to use it. Visitors to www.orl.bc.ca will be able to choose standard or enhanced. Before using the enhanced catalogue, customers are encouraged to read the ‘Getting Started’ page. As with all social networking sites, there are privacy issues to using the new catalogue customers need to be aware of, such as managing privacy settings in case you don’t want comments to be public.

Here’s How It Works: - Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Public invited to UBC-O’s Community Day Contributed The University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus is home to some of the brightest minds and most intriguing research in the nation and this weekend the public is invited to stop by and see some of the things going on. Community Day takes place from 11 am to 3 pm, Saturday, September 24 at the campus 10 minutes north of Kelowna on Hwy. 97. The second-annual event gives the public a chance to engage with faculty, staff and students while discovering what makes UBC’s Okanagan campus an outstanding learning, teaching and research environment. “The University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus is a vibrant and thriving community academically, socially and athletically,” said Bonnie Bates Gibbs, director alumni and university relations. “We can be very proud of the campus and all it is achieving. Community Day is a wonderful opportunity for people to share a personal connection with
the campus that is so much a part of the Okanagan,” said Bates Gibbs. The University will be open to the public and those attending can participate in a variety of events from lectures to hands-on activities. The campus has undergone amazing growth over the past few years and guided tours leave the centre courtyard every 15 minutes, starting at 11:15 am, to show people everything that is new and improved. Tours of the two newest state-of-the-art buildings – the Engineering, Management and Education building and the Health Sciences Centre, will also be held throughout the day. Campus maps will be available to those wishing to strike out on their own for a selfguided tour. The courtyard will also be the place to be for free hot dogs (either beef or veggie), an apple and water, as well as an afternoon snack. Other food services on campus will also be open. For a full list of events and programs, go to http:// www.ubc.ca/okanagan/communityday/welcome. html

12 - The Peachland View
September 23, 2011
Robert Charles Sugden It is with overwhelming sadness that we announce the passing of Bob Sugden at the Okanagan Hospice on September 21st. Bob quietly and optimistically fought cancer for almost three years. He will be terribly missed by his partner in life Doris Haas as well as his daughters Nicole and Errin, granddaughters Kirstyn and Autumn, stepdaughters Jessica and Stefanie, in-laws Otto and Josefine, and niece Morgan, and nephew Reed. He is survived by his sister Janet and brother Stuart. Bob and Doris moved to Peachland from Ontario in 2007 and Bob immediately became involved with his new community. He worked tirelessly as Chair of the Highway 97 Task Force and Chair of the Peachland Economic Development Committee, and was involved with the Peachland Community Arts Council and several other organizations. He also worked for the betterment of the arts and sport in the
Okanagan. He was successful in bringing the International Winter Children’s Games to Kelowna, their first time in Canada. Because of his many years as on official with the Canadian Football League, he was recruited by the BC Football league as the Supervisor of Officials for Okanagan Sun home games. Bob expressed his creative side by authoring two columns in the Daily Courier, Ripple Effect and Defining Moments. Bob loved life and wanted to make a difference. He made many new friends in the Okanagan through his many interests and his quest to help create a special community. In recognition of his efforts he received the Peachland Mayor’s Award of Merit. Thanks to Dr. Finch, Dr. Smatanova and Dr. Wall and all the other wonderful staff at the Cancer Centre for their caring support throughout his ordeal. Also thanks to Dr. Larry Hancock. Bob’s life will be remembered at a memorial service in Peachland the week of October 3rd, 2011. Details to be announced. Donations can be made to the BC Cancer Centre for the Southern Interior.
