Overloaded transformer causes fire downtown JOANNE LAYH

An overloaded transformer bank apparently caused a small fire in the alleyway behind the Gasthaus.

Peachland Fire and Rescue were called out just before 11 a.m. on Tuesday morning for a small brush fire behind the Gasthaus restaurant. “[It was] not near any structures or threatening any structures.

When our crews arrived they found a smoldering bush that the chefs at the Gasthaus had doused with pots of water to sort of put it out for us,” fire chief Dennis Craig told the View.

“We just quickly overhauled the area, extinguished the remaining fire and made sure it was really out.

However, we did notice in doing so that the transformer was smoking and one of the lines was smoking above where the fire was so we contacted BC Hydro to let them know they had some damaged equipment.”

Soon after BC Hydro crews arrived on scene to conduct an investigation.

Truck tangles with cable line JOANNE LAYH Cable and internet services were disrupted for some customers on Tuesday afternoon after a five-ton truck tangled with some cable lines on Stuart Crescent.

Just shortly after 4 p.m. Peachland Fire and Rescue received calls for a vehicle that took down a power line on Stuart Crescent with a person still in the vehicle.

“However, arriving on scene it was a five-ton delivery truck that had snagged the Telus and Shaw cable lines, pulling those down,” Peachland fire chief Dennis Craig told the View.

“Power lines weren’t affected or anything like that. They were out of the vehicle and able to make their deliveries, but the residents will be without internet and phone for a little bit until Telus is able to show up and reconnect them.”

While there didn’t appear to be any damage, the lines are on BC Hydro poles, so BC Hydro also attended to inspect the poles and insulators.

“It does take force to snap those lines. They do have reinforced cable on them so it does take some strength so it can damage their equipment as well,” Craig said.

Crews waited until after lunch to turn the power off for impacted customers so that they could go up the pole and replace some of the wiring.

Only three or four customers were impacted, including the Gasthaus.

Al Withers of BC Hydro said it was necessary for crews to refresh some of the wiring.

RDCO to host DCC information open house JOANNE LAYH Changes currently being proposed to the RDCO’s Development Cost Charge bylaws for the Westside Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant include a big jump in rates for developers and builders, but not as dramatic as the rate hikes proposed for the East Trunk Sanitary Sewer, Peachland council learned this week.

Development Cost Charges, or DCCs, for the treatment plant and sanitary sewer are collected from developers and builders at the building permit or subdivision stage by the regional district to pay for sewer and wastewater collection, as well as to fund future infrastructure needs required by projected community growth.

Developers in Peachland will only be impacted by proposed increases to the Westside Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant DCC rates; changes to the East Trunk Sanitary

they’re just putting some new wire up and making it in really good condition,” he said.

Withers says likely the system had been overloaded.

“At this time of year there is a lot of air conditioning running and stuff like that,” Withers said.

Power was restored shortly after the wiring was replaced.

Sewer DCCs won’t impact Peachland because they aren’t connected to it.

The changes will also impact West Kelowna and Westbank First Nation.

RDCO director of engineering services David Komaike made a presentation to members of Peachland council last Tuesday morning to brief them on the proposed changes ahead of the information open house next week that developers and the public are invited to attend.

The DCC bylaws were last updated in 2004 and 2010 and haven’t seen any adjustment in the interim, which is why the increases proposed now are so dramatic.

For example, for a single detached residential home DCCs for the East Trunk will increase to $2,353 from $564, while DCCs for the Westside Treatment Plant will rise more modestly to $4,194 from $3,188. Similar rate structure increases are proposed for duplexes or triplexes, multi-residential, commercial, industrial and institutional use buildings.

The regional district representative says the 33 – 34 per cent increase represents about 3 per cent each year.

Komaike told Peachland council that the regional district has spent the last 18 months working on the proposed bylaw changes.

Komaike said that with the proposed bylaw changes they are looking for support from all three partners that form the select stakeholder committee, Peachland, West Kelowna and Westbank First Nation, when

a request for a decision comes to the regional board in October. Final adoption of the bylaws is targeted for December.

The cost to operate both the Westside Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant and the East Trunk Sanitary Sewer are funded in part by users. The infrastructure is also funded in part by Development Cost Charges as well as project grant funding.

“By far the most of funding comes from Development Cost Charges,” Komaike said in his presentation. “At times the reserves are adequate and sometimes the reserves are not adequate.”

The first phase of the Westside Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant began in 1988, replacing some lagoons that were behind the Johnson Bentley Aquatic Centre.

“It replaced some really ancient infrastructure,” Komaike said.

Komaike said the existing bylaws for the infrastructure are also ancient, dating back to 2010.

“We’re definitely due… they are extremely outdated. The scope of the projects, the size of the reserves needed to do those projects has changed significantly.

This bylaw should have been amended years ago,” Komaike said.

Komaike says the proposed bylaws taken into account projections with a 20-year development horizon for growth as well as projects outside the 20-year horizon.

Cost estimates have also changed significantly.

Projects originally es-

timated to cost around $20 million are now anticipated to cost around $30 million.

Komaike says they do build reserves and then draw down the reserves so they can maintain enough to do the projects, and while they do anticipate grant funding in the future, he says best practices dictate that they do not budget for grant funding.

“This is a worst case scenario. We believe we stand a really good chance to get grants on some of these projects, especially some of the larger ones,” Komaike said.

Councillor Keith Fielding said the increases are going to be a big hit for developers and asked if the rate hike could be phased in.

“We propose it to go at once. The question comes down to if we don’t collect the money from the development community at the time of subdivision, we only have one kick at the cat. So when you come in for a subdivision and you pay for your fees, we can’t come go afterwards and say, ‘oh, by the way we just phased that in and we’d like more money,” Komaike said. “Then we’re back into collecting through taxation or user fees or grants.”

The regional district will present to West Kelowna on Sept. 10 and a presentation to Westbank First Nation is also being scheduled.

The public information session and open house will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 11 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Holiday Inn in West Kelowna, located at 2569 Dobbin Rd.

Lightning believed to be culprit of sixth house fire this year JOANNE LAYH An intense electrical storm is believed to be the cause of a fire that destroyed a Vernon Avenue home Tuesday night - the sixth house fire in Peachland this year.

Peachland Fire and Rescue were paged out just shortly before 7 p.m. on Tuesday night for a grass fire on Vernon Avenue, which was immediately upgraded to a structure fire.

Crews were also called out for a fire on Bulyea Avenue, which diverted some of their resources, but it was later determined when crews arrived on scene that it was the same fire that they were currently tackling on Vernon.

“First arriving crews on scene noted a two-story home with flames showing through the roof. There never was a grass fire. This was a structure fire right from the get go,” Peachland fire chief Dennis Craig told the View.

Crews confirmed everyone was out of the house and the lone occupant was able to get his family pets out safely, as well.

“Once it was confirmed everyone was safe, our crews immediately went to work

FIFTY PLUS R0050893497 PV06

knocking down the fire and doing their best to contain it to the roof of the structure,” Craig said.

“There was significant fire damage to the roof and then smoke and water damage throughout, top to bottom, being again, another roof fire.

The water goes from the top of the house all the way from the top of the house to fill the basement…we did a very aggressive interior attack on the fire.”

Craig said crews were able to salvage some personal affects out of the home, including some photo albums and some vehicles out of the garage.

It took about an hour and a half for crews to knock down the fire.

One crew stayed on scene until midnight doing a fire watch and mop up of hot spots and security remained on site through Wednesday.

Craig said they are definitely looking at lightning as a potential cause of the fire.

“There was a tree right next to the house that definitely shows evidence of a lightning strike,” he said.

Craig said there was no other real reason, adding that the fire is not believed to be suspicious.

To everything, churn, churn, churn JOANNE LAYH Hating on airlines is pretty much a national pastime in this country.

It seems like every time someone has a bad experience with an airline, it’s all over social media and the news.

In many of these cases, people have had truly horrid customer service experiences that could have been prevented or were handled very poorly.

Other times you have to wonder.

Air Canada was recently ordered to pay a couple $21,000 for language violations, not because they weren’t offered service in French, but because of various quibbles such as the use of unilingual seat and exit displays and the length of French information given versus the English.

Or consider recent media coverage about a grandiose hen party that was “ruined” by a flight cancellation.

For all the complaining we do about airlines, we rarely talk about the amazing ways airlines reward their passengers.

Take the Alaska program, for instance. Kelowna is served by Alaska Airlines to Seattle. MBNA’s Alaska Airlines MasterCard offers up to 30,000 sign up rewards points and there are programs out there that can rebate most of the annual fee.

That’s a great deal if you want to

travel to the US via their main hub in Seattle, or book a flight to Asia on one of their partner airlines, such as Cathay Pacific.

And there doesn’t appear to be a limit on how many times you can cancel the card and sign up again.

A great thing about rewards programs is that many offer the opportunity to convert your points into other programs so you aren’t locked into keeping one credit card to accumulate miles or points. RBC, for instance, typically allows their Avion cardholders to convert their points to BA Avios at a 1:1 ratio and from time to time even offer bonuses of around 25 per cent, which could turn their value from a domestic flight into an international one.

I’ve never flown anything except economy, so when I discovered that you could pool sign up bonuses from different credit cards into one rewards program to take advantage of some truly amazing redemptions, I got straight to work.

I only joined Aeroplan in March, but because I was able to put a few months rent and some recent moving expenses through a few different credit cards, I was able to accumulate enough points for a business class trip to India in just a few short months.

Pretty good, right?

Well, it gets even better.

Turns out, as long as you stay with-

in the maximum permitted mileage between your starting point and destination, up until Aug. 31, you were also allowed two additional stops and quite a few layovers as well, provided they each fall under 24 hours (Air Canada has since reduced the number of additional open jaws or stops to just one).

Within the miles and points community, this has been unofficially known as a “mini RTW” trip because if you maximize it to its full potential, you could hit every inhabited continent on a single destination redemption.

With that in mind, I began researching my trip to New Delhi (my “destination”) and searching flight availability through Aeroplan’s website.

Playing within Aeroplan’s rules, I was able to book a trip to India that includes stops in Croatia and Hungary, with layovers in Istanbul, Singapore and Beijing that are long enough to get out of the airport and spend a day exploring, which is really quite amazing.

Of course, the downside to all of this travel is the impact on my carbon footprint, but that’s another conversation.

Meanwhile, the next time you hear someone berate the airline industry, just remember that sometimes they also do reward their passengers.

Appreciative resident gives props to seasonal bylaw officer Blake As summer is rapidly coming to a close, I would like to commend our bylaw officer, Blake for his presence in our town.

He is most personable and does his duties with a smile, a wave or a quick chat. Yes, he does give out tickets at times - most definitely he tells the recipient the nature of the misde-

meanor.

We did see a couple with their dog on a recent early morning walk, and they allowed their animal to swim in Swim Bay. Our thoughts were, “If Blake were only here.”

So, a heartfelt thank-you for a job well done, Blake. You are appreciated.

Citizen urges all residents to attend Hwy 97 Task Force’s open house Ignoring 2016 Highway 97 stakeholder engagement outcomes is ultimately the result of the Highway 97 Peachland Study final Report.

The Peachland View noted that residents lobbied for “the lowest route that fully bypassed the town and traversed behind Pincushion Mountain.”

Instead, we have a recommendation that divides our community, expropriates ALR land, disrupts farmers’ livelihoods, lowers property values, eradicates the good works created by Habitat for Humanity, impacts our local natural resources, and increases the cost of living in Peachland.

When the bypass opens, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will no longer maintain the existing 97 route and that responsibility will fall to taxpayers.

Has council estimated the budget impact of having to maintain the “old highway?” Residents will enjoy all

PEACHLAND

VIEW

of the impacts of the recommended route - forever.

After the bypass completes, residents will still see heavy truck congestion. There is no rest area with amenities for truckers in the Central Okanagan and they will still stop at the mall and A&W – there is no other alternative.

Trucks will route through town if it means saving fuel without having to climb grades. Again, residents will be responsible to maintain the road.

A bypass is a bypass.

Recommendations are not in the spirit of residents’ wishes. There are alternatives and the ministry needs to address residents’ concerns.

Our town council needs to stand firm. I hope all residents can attend the Highway 97 Task Force Society meeting on Sept. 11 and voice their opinion.

Pincushion Mountain about a month ago and noticed the flag was removed. It had been quite tattered previously, so someone appeared to have taken it down. They decided to replace the flag, so after going to the city hall and the community centre, they obtained a new flag. It was a little harder to put up than they expected as we wanted to be so careful to not have the flag touch the ground but, in the end they got it raised. Our Canadian flag is happily flying over Peachland once again!

Boys and Girls Club to offer Saturday morning Parent and Tot Drop In Program PATRICIA BARROWS

PEACHLAND BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB Last Sunday, Aug. 18 over 200 people came to Cousins Park was the fifth annual Peachland Movie Night. There were numerous activities to enjoy, including the best superhero costume contest, dancing, yoga with Harbour House Yoga, a bat themed activity station with BEEPS, and an entertaining sing along with Peachland’s very own Papa Thom and guest.

We also had a raffle draw where one lucky person won a return flight for two to anywhere WestJet flies! The evening wrapped up with the movie Spiderman – Into the Spiderverse on a giant inflatable screen.

This event was a success thanks to the efforts of Larry Guilbault and others from Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty, amazing support of sponsors, generous donations from the community and volunteer help from the Peachland Ambassadors, VantageOne Credit Union and WestJet staff.

September can be an exciting time for many students with the start of a new school year, reconnecting with friends and teachers, and shar-

ing stories of fun summer adventures. Once kids return to the routine of school, what is there to do after school? Here at the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club in Peachland we have a great answer, come to the club! We have lots of fun programs led by awesome staff for school age kids and teens.

There are just a few spaces left in our Peachland After School Program where children Kindergarten to Grade 5 are given opportunities to develop new skills, make new friends, and participate in a lot of fun activities. We provide transportation from school to the club, as well as a nutritious afternoon snack. Programs are available on professional days and during school breaks. Club membership and pre-registration is required.

We also offer a variety of low to no cost drop in programs for children and youth of all ages, including dinner nights, out trips and recreation activities. For teens who are interested in accumulating volunteer hours, we have many opportunities to get involved including helping out in programs, at special events or even leading a fun activity or sport.

New this year, we will

be offering a Parent and Tot Drop In Program on Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Parents, caregivers, and children ages three to five can hang out with other families and engage in crafts, games and activities in a family friendly, fun environment. Cost is only $2 per child and it is a great way to meet new people and spend quality time together!

We are also inviting families to join us on Friday, Sept. 20 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. for a Fall Equinox Potluck Party! Take a guided nature walk to collect natural elements to create gratitude art, enjoy guided meditation, and end the evening with a potluck style dinner!

Take a moment to visit the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club website at boysandgirlsclub.ca to learn about the great programs, services, employment and volunteer opportunities and special events offered across the valley. Our Facebook page, Okanagan Boys and Girls Club Peachland, includes program information and some of the fun things we’ve been up to. We can also be reached at 250-767-2515, peachland@obgc.ca, or come by the Peachland Club at 5684 Beach Ave. any time.

Club Member of the Month London has been attending Okanagan Boys & Girls Club Peachland programs since preschool. She is always very sweet, kind, and friendly to everyone. Staff have enjoyed watching London grow and try new things.

London came to many Recreation trips this summer including a Parks Alive concert in Kelowna, where we danced around on the grass, and Summerland Sweets where she enjoyed her favourite ice cream with her friends.

She is always enthusiastic and enjoys making new friends. London also enjoys letting out her creative side with coloring and melting beads. Other kids at the club describe her as always smiling, nice to play with, and a really good friend.

Thank you London for making the club a warm place to be!

Highway 97 Task Force to host information open house event HIGHWAY 97 TASK FORCE SOCIETY The single most important decision affecting the future of Peachland is about to be made: will Highway 97 be fourlaned through Peachland or will one of two alternate routes will be selected?

Since 2015 the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) has been studying the future traffic demands of the Central Okanagan.

In its final report, MOTI states they are studying ways to accommodate increasing traffic volumes that have resulted from the strong economic and population growth in the Central Okanagan.

“Key findings of the assessment suggest that the Highway 97 corridor through Peachland will approach capacity for a two-lane highway by 2040, will experience decreasing levels of service based on an anticipated reduction in average speeds during the afternoon peak period, and access to the highway will become more problematic at the unsignalized intersections,” the report states.

By fall MOTI will decide whether to four-lane the existing route or construct one of the two alternate routes.

Now is the time to get informed and make your voice heard. Attend the Highway 97 Task Force Society’s Information Open House at the Community Centre between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 11.

There, you can learn about the three proposed options,

ask questions, examine large scale maps, and determine how each of the options affects you, and how they affect Peachland as a whole.

The MOTI final report can be found online (search Peachland Transportation Study: Phase 1 Final Report). It explains the process to date and some of the methodology used. It also contains more technical information than most of us can absorb, but at the end of the report are appendixes with the maps of the three proposed routes.

At the open house you will have access to more detail and more information allowing you to determine how the options affect you and the future of Peachland. Each one has advantages and disadvantages and each raises important questions: How will the enjoyment of my home or my business be affected? What opportunities for, and impediments to, growth, development and commerce are created? What are the environmental impacts of each option and how are negative impacts mitigated?What improvements to Highway 97 are needed now, regardless of future route options?

If a bypass is chosen: If an alternate route is selected, what opportunities are created if the existing Highway 97 route becomes a traffic-calmed municipal road? Is 97 still a highway or an extended Beach Avenue? Can we use the lakeshore from Princeton to Antlers? Add a multi-use pathway? Will the speed limits be reduced? If so, who gets to choose, MOTI or District of Peachland? How much traffic would still be there? Will your businesses be affected? How

PEACHLAND COLLISION R0040978556 PV06

COLLISION & GLASS

many would be affected? Positive or negative? How will it affect you and the enjoyment of your home? Will getting from A to B within Peachland be easier? How much impact will there be on residents? Will it help or hurt the possibility of a golf course?

Higher option: Will easy highway access to the industrial area encourage business? Would a convenience store and a gas station at the junction be a possibility? Will truck traffic down Princeton be reduced? Car traffic increased? Would it change your route to Kelowna?

Middle option: How will the neighbourhood be divided?

Will your foot paths be affected? Would highway access be provided? Do you see a positive in this route? Is there a benefit to Peachland? Is there development potential?

If four-lane in place is chosen: How long will four-lane through Peachland construction take, and what are the impacts? If a four-lane through Peachland option is chosen, how does that affect our collective quality of life? What is the benefit for Peachland? How long would construction take? Dust? Noise? Where does the traffic go during construction? How will four lanes at 80km affect you and the enjoyment of your home? How will five signal lights manage summer traffic volumes? Will getting from A to B within Peachland be easier? How do we use the lakeshore from Princeton to Antlers? Do you live at Antlers Beach?

Will highway access be easier?

These, and doubtless many more questions will be asked and opinions aired. The open house is the place to do that and we will be there to help you let your opinion be known to MOTI and your elected representatives. We look forward to seeing you.

The Highway 97 Task Force Information Open House will take place Wednesday, Sept. 11 from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Peachland Community Centre.

Wellness Centre to kick off fall season with public open house event PEACHLAND WELLNESS CENTRE As the sun moves south and the season moves towards fall, the Peachland Wellness Centre (PWC) looks forward to resuming the programs that took the summer off. We are also preparing for the new programs that will become a part of PWC. We hope that you have enjoyed this summer without much smoke, and fewer above 30-degree days. We also hope that you have missed dropping in to PWC, because we have missed you. We are looking forward to the fall and renewing relationships with those who have been away or off over the summer.

PWC likes to highlight this time of year, with a Fall Kick-off/Open House to introduce those who may not be familiar with the many programs and services available. PWC has over 25 programs and services to offer including: • Monday Morning Coffee; • Meditation; • Men’s Coffee and Cards; • Ladies Coffee and Cards; • Wellness Circle; • Sunshine Singers; and • Tai Chi and Energy for Wellness.

PWC Services include Better at Home, Information and Referral, Friendly Visitors, Helping Hands, Outreach and Transportation. This is your chance to drop by and meet some of the volunteers, board members and staff. They look forward to meeting you and will be happy to answer any questions you may have about current programs and services offered, how to get involved as a participant or a volunteer or how to get the help you may need either for yourself or a loved one.

Several stations will be set up for you to tour through, giving you the opportunity to see all that we offer and meet some of the facilitators who will be pleased to provide you with information regarding the programs they facilitate.
