I’m a resident, so when people think we’re going to do some thing and mess up Peachland, why would I mess up Peach land? I live Cunninghamhere.”says she tries to be on the side of common sense.“Ilike that we look at every development as an individual instead of just rubber stamping or having a box it has to fit into, because that discourages some developers. I like the fact that we are working with develop ers now. In the past we had a bad reputation for not being so kind to developers so I’m glad that that’s turned around. Ev eryone says there’s nothing to rent. We’re getting rentals, and they’re right beside the elemen tary school. It’s perfect. I think we need to fill the need.” Of all the council achieve ments, Cunningham says she is particularly proud of the splash pad. “It took eight years to get that. As we all know, it’s wheelchair accessible so when I saw a child in a wheelchair leaving the splash park, it made me super proud and happy that we got that done.”

Councillor Pam Cunning ham announced this week that she’ll be seeking a seat at the council table for a third term. “I was a little bit on the fence about six months ago but I had a lot of positive people saying, ‘you should run again,’ and I agree with them. With COVID it feels like we did half a term,” Cunningham told the View. “I love being on council, I love Peachland, I love every thing about it. There are some bumps in the road sometimes and you can’t make everyone happy, but I try. I live here, too.

Peachland Councillor Mike Kent announced this week that he’ll be seeking a third term in the upcoming municipal election. Kent says he is committed to sound fiscal management of Peachland tax dollars, point ing to council’s modest 2.27 per cent tax increase during an inflationary time when other governing organizations imposed phenomenally high tax hikes. If re-elected, Kent says he will continue to advocate for full protection of Peachland’s watershed and support policy and initiatives that protect the community’s watershed and source water. He strongly supports the expansion of the sanitary sew er system and believes this can be best achieved by stra tegically targeting provincial and federal grant funding and adjusting future applications in order to place the district in the best possible position to be awarded funding. “I view expanding side walks, greenways and paths as a priority,” says Kent, who supported the acquisition of Turner Park, where he hopes to see a top level soccer field. Because building sidewalk infrastructure is so expen sive, Kent told the View the way to achieve that is to cap italize on opportunities that present themselves when de velopment comes along by piggybacking on top of im provements the developer is required to make. Kent says he will contin ue to work to ensure diverse housing options are available to Peachland residents and will support policies and ini tiatives that contribute to a thriving economic environ ment. “We have to look out for everyone, not just the sin gle-family homeowner,” said Kent. “We have to take care of every segment of our com munity.”Hesupports the proposed new protective services build ing, noting the risk of serious fire is increasing in the dry Okanagan.

“Our fire department re quires the tools to be able to protect Peachland prop erty and lives. The current 60-year-old building is at the end of its serviceable life,” saysKentKent.promises to contin ue to fight for a preferred alternate route rather than four-laning through Peach land; he also supports the continued lobbying of MOTI to implement safety improve ments along Hwy 97, such as new lights and upgraded in tersections.Overhis eight years on council, Kent counts prudent management of funds, the acquisition of upland area Turner Park, construction of the water treatment plant, and acquisition of the Duck and Pug waterfront property among the primary achieve ments that council has made. “We’ve seen the Ponder osa development, which has been stalled, move closer to moving forward. We’re also seeing that New Monaco is close to moving forward. A lot of things that have been stagnant before I came to council eight years ago have been moved forward through diligent work with the devel opment community, law and policy and ensuring there is a concerted effort in looking at increasing vital infrastructure for the community.” Kent says he is a strong proponent of updating the of ficial community plan every five years to ensure it accu rately reflects the community vision. If re-elected, he prom ises to advocate for the use of a statistically significant citizens survey to help guide council priorities and deci sion making to ensure they are aligned with the priorities of the residents.
The District of Peachland makes no representation express or implied as to the condition or quality of the properties being for sale. Prospective purchasers are urged to inspect the properties and make all necessary inquiries to municipal and other government departments and, in the case of strata lots to the strata corporation, to determine the existence of any bylaws, restrictions, charges or other conditions that may affect the value or suitability of the property.

On the leadership front, Van Minsel promises to es tablish a strong team with the elected councillors and the district staff to achieve consensus that will create a defined plan of action. The platform states he aims to build relation ships with other levels of government to secure in frastructure funding for sewers, roads and sidewalks, advocate for a reliable sec ond electricity transmission line to Peachland, receive improved local medical ser vices from Interior Health, and partner with the prov ince for affordable housing.

The platform also states the municipality should explore expanding its boundaries to incorporate more of the watershed, as well as lobbying for respon sible logging practices. As a long-time Peachland Chamber of Commerce employee, its unsurprising that Van Minsel promises to work with the local busi ness community to improve the local economy and cre ate jobs. This week Van Minsel also launched a citizen sur vey for residents to share what local issues are most important to them. The survey asks resi dents for their opinions about spending money on sidewalks, a bylaw review, updating the OCP, max imum building heights on Beach Ave, dog parks, Turner Park amenities, sewer connection and mu nicipal service satisfaction. “I believe that listening to residents is the number one priority,” said Van Minsel. “This is why I am asking as many Peachland resi dents as possible to take this survey, to really better understand what their main priorities are.” The survey can be found at take-the-survey.patrickvanminsel.com/

Did muralattendyoulastweekend’sfest?
Firstly, the three newly painted murals are beautiful. I love them all, and applaud the people who brought in the artists to paint them. It is a great idea, and I hope to see more murals adorn our town in the future. I would just hope a better loca tion is chosen. The alley behind the pharmacy and medical clinic stinks atrociously. It is filled with stinky garbage bins, and unsightly debris. I can only imagine what smell the paint ers had to contend with while they worked. Instead of taking the time to admire the murals, I couldn’t wait to leave. For future murals, I hope a location is chosen where viewing the art can be a pleasant experience for all. D. Watters
On behalf of the Peachland Making Waves Mural Fes tival committee I would like to thank everyone who came out and supported our inaugural mural festival this year. Our artists have been outstanding: Lala, Sheldon Louis and Nereo have outdone themselves in our opinion. From all re ports everyone enjoyed the entertainment and are looking forward to next year. Special thanks to our sponsors for their financial support and to Judy and Wes Bedford and the Legion for entrusting their buildings to the care of our artists and to our hardy group of volunteers who helped us out in some many dif ferent ways. Thank you all so very much! Thanks again Peachland! See you in September 2023!

Dorothy is predeceased by her parents Jesse and Sara Scholl; her only sister Emma Jean Tubbin; and Robert Freels, her husband of 68 years; her 20-month-old son, Michael; and son-in-law David Caudle. Dorothy is survived by children Janine Caudle, Joslyn Freels (John McCutcheon), and Douglas (Marlene) Freels. Grandchildren; Jason (Maryann) Caudle, Cortni (Vince) Berke, Karlie Hartley, Reginald Freels, Carson (Ashley) Freels; and Great-Grandchildren; Rob Sinclair, Kendra Caudle, Brodee Berke, and Hazel DorothyFreels.attended elementary school in a one-room schoolhouse in NE Oregon, continuing her education at Eastern Oregon College in the field of elementary education. When the US Air Force Recruits (WWII) took over the women’s dormitory at Eastern Oregon College, the girls relocated into large homes in the area, Dorothy was elected president of her house of 24 young women. In her senior year, Dorothy was elected secretary of the College Student body. Dorothy and Robert Freels were married on June 5, 1945, near the end of WWII. Bob had spent 3 years in the South Pacific while serving in the US Coast Guard. Bob and Dorothy returned to Wallowa County, working for local ranchers, and purchased and sold a feed mill. In 1955, they purchased Indian Village/Fence Creek Ranch, located 35 miles NE of Enterprise, Oregon. Mom wrote: “Ranching was not an easy life, but for the individual who worked hard and enjoyed it as much as her family did, it was always rewarding and a great way to raise the family.”
Each Fall, the family would move the cows to the canyons (Fence Creek), where the kids would attend school at Imnaha. Come Spring, they would pack up and move back to Indian Village. Neither home had electricity until several years later. When the children were ready for high school, a move was made to town, where the family lived in a routine. Then the excitement of a move to Canada was in Bob’s mind!
Sat Noon to 3 pm

NOTICE
In 1970, Bob and Dorothy sold all their Oregon properties and moved to beautiful Peachland, BC.

Welcome to the second progress update on the Peachland Hub project. It’s been about two and a half months since the first update - and a lot has hap pened.Weestablished a Design Project Committee (the “DPC”) to work with the Urban Arts Architecture team to move our early concepts into the schemat ic design of a viable project ready to submit grant appli cations. The first conclusion we reached was that to min imize costs we needed to keep the project to one storey. So Urban Arts devel oped four options for us to look at - two based on ren ovating and expanding the existing 50+ Activity Cen tre building, and two based on demolition and a fresh build. All of the designs were under 13,000 sq. ft., so they would all cost less than our original 16,200 sq. ft. concept. The DPC identified elements from all design that we really liked as well as others that needed more development. Urban Arts took this feed back and came back with refined options for renovate/ expand and new build. The next big realization (and a big shock) came when Urban Arts provided us with preliminary costing information. The first ob servation was that the costs for both renovation/expan sion and the new build were fairly equivalent, and a new build comes with much greater design flexibili ty and with opportunities to reduce operating costs.

The shock was how much constructions costs have es calated in the past couple of years and how much higher the cost per sq. ft. the cost estimator used when com pared to what we had used in our business case. The re sult turned our $8.1million project into a $16 million+ project. The impact of this will be that we are likely to need additional grants and an additional year or two of raffle and donation fundraising before the con struction will be able to start.We’ve been running our Tuesday Night Mar ket in Cousins Park this summer. It is an excellent way to spend some time on a Tuesday evening and has been quite successful for its first year (although we really could use more Peachlanders coming down and visiting it). We’ve also had a presence at the Sun day farmers’ market to give people a chance to ask us about the Hub. Our “Make a 3 Times for the Hub Pledge” cam paign has gotten off to a slow start. But we are sure the excitement from our upcoming open house will motivate Peachlanders to start showing their support. Talking about our open house, it will be held on Saturday, Sep 17 at the 50+ Activity Centre from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Stop by anytime to talk with the steering committee and the Urban Arts design team and give us some feedback. We will also be holding two presentations during the event - one at 10:30 a.m. and one at 2:30 p.m. We are very excited as we just received our licenses so we will be launching our first two raffles this week!

Armed with this informa tion to DPC went to the steering committee with a recommendation that we proceed with a demolition and new build based design, which was approved.
