Ponderosa reborn: Company on road out of CCAA protection CRAIG GILBERT EDITOR

@CraigbGilbert

Stop the presses - Ponderosa isn’t bankrupt, and as of Wednesday morning, they even have a clear path out of CCAA protection.

Norm Porter, chair and CEO of Treegroup Developments Corp., told the View Thursday the judge’s decision rendered Sept. 6 approved the various agreements connected to the sale of Ponderosa Peachland Development Ltd. to a company controlled by Romspen Investment Corp., the original mortgage holder.

That company will take over as the lead developer with intentions to build a re-envisioned Ponderosa subdivision, including a golf course.

“We’re thrilled and thankful to have achieved exit from CCAA protection after an arduous two-year journey,” Porter said.

“We’re all looking forward to bringing the Ponderosa project back to a full-scale development.”

Keeping the golf course, which remains the anchor of the Ponderosa Living website, is their “wish.”

“I know the community and West Bank First Nation and individual council mem-

bers are all supportive of the golf course being included,” Porter said. “I think the success of Ponderosa and bringing the project back will require work from all stakeholders, including the district, the developer and the community.”

Porter said there are lots of reasons projects fail, and it is almost always cash flow.

“We all have to agree on a plan that’s going to work so the financing is paid as it goes,” Porter explained. “(Ponderosa) was very front-end heavy in terms of the infrastructure we had to put in, including an amenity like the golf course. A development can never get off the ground if you

can’t have a single element that is ready to bring products to market and bring in that cash flow.”

Porter said more details, including the name of the new company and more on time lines, would be forthcoming in the next couple of weeks.

Next steps include going back to the public for a consultation.

“We need a product type that fits the market,” Porter said. “There’s a desire on all sides so we need to jointly come up with a plan that works.”

The companies have until Sept. 19 to pay off old debts, cross Ts and dot Is.

Peachland wins Okanagan Make Water Work competition

BY VIEW STAFF THOUGH LARGELY CONTRIBUTED

last year will only keep coming.

“It’s good to have the tools now to allow us to conserve, rather than finding ourselves later in a panic situation,” Fortin said, adding, “I’d especially like to thank the OBWB staff for their hard work on getting the message out, and to our own Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Change committee members who worked very hard bring that message to Peachland and sign up pledges at our May 28 Waterwise event.”

In an ongoing effort to build bridges, collaborate, and learn from and share best practices with others, the OBWB invited Dr. Amber Manfree, a researcher at the Center for Watershed Sciences at the University of California, Davis, to present the keynote address. Manfree spoke on the lessons learned in water and environmental management from the front lines of California’s five-year drought.

Sears noted that Dr. Manfree has a unique and valuable perspective, having worked with experts in various fields of science and policy on drought and flooding, invasive species, species at risk and protection, including fisheries restoration. These are the same issues we are concerned with here in the Okanagan, she added.

“California is where we get a large proportion of our food.

It is also a major global economy. Their success and failure with water is going to affect our food supply and economy directly,” said Sears.

“While I work with people who look at things on a smaller scale, I gravitate to looking at things on a larger watershed and even historical level,” said Manfree. “My background is in historical

ecology and watching how things change.

“If we looked back, two or three lifetimes, people would be astonished at the changes that have occurred on our landscape. And yet, as humans, we think the way something has been is the way it will always be. But landscapes have always been in flux and will continue to be.”

Some of this is natural, and some of it is human-caused, she added. “In California, we have massively altered our water systems and this is causing a cascade of problems. Our changing climate is also affecting weather patterns.”

The result, she explained, is flooding in some areas, and not enough water in other areas causing problems for fish, farm crops, people and more.

“We’ve been avoiding looking at things, the impacts of our actions. But the longer you wait, the fewer options you have,” Manfree added.

“We must reorganize how we approach problem solving.

There’s going to be unexpected events, but the level of damage they cause is something we can control.

And while Manfree notes that change is sometimes difficult, for example choosing to move out of a floodplain or not build in a fire prone area, or change crops to suit the water now available in an area, there are examples of people acknowledging the need to do things differently and doing it. In Napa Valley, she added, wine growers removed 20 acres of vines worth millions to help reestablish wetlands and aquatic function in the area, understanding that a healthy ecosystem benefits all.

Peachland Mayor Cindy Fortin is just flush.

The Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) held its Annual General Meeting at the Laurel Packinghouse in Kelowna last week. The theme this year, “A Watershed in the World,” recognizes the growing interdependence of watersheds and that the decisions we make here not only affect the Okanagan, but other watersheds outside our boundaries as well, as we are affected by them.

“I used to joke that ‘No watershed is an island,’” chuckles Anna Warwick Sears, Executive Director for the OBWB. “Even though a watershed is a geographic boundary useful for managing our waters, we are increasingly finding ourselves affected by things happening outside our watershed, including invasive species, changing weather patterns due to global warming, and population growth.

“We can’t ignore what’s happening around us, and at the same time we have to be good citizens and recognize that our actions do affect surrounding watersheds, in Canada, the U.S. and the world.”

As in the past few years, the annual meeting also served to acknowledge this year’s “Make Water Work Champion,” recognizing the Okanagan community which collected the most pledges per capita to conserve and Make Water Work this summer. This year, the District of Peachland won the title. Peachland Mayor Cindy Fortin was on hand to accept the honour and be presented with a plaque.

“I am very pleased to accept the award on behalf of the citizens of Peachland and See OKANAGAN on page 7 will hang the award proudly in the District office,” Fortin told the View. “I am extremely proud of Peachland citizens for stepping up and DISTRICT OF PEACHLAND – PUBLIC NOTICE taking the pledge to reduce their waFLUSHING OF WATER MAINS ter consumption.

Hats off to Charrie and Brooklyn Dear editor, I wish to share an alternate view of our Beach Ave Benches having flowers.

Since moving here five years ago, when first walking our beach, I noticed the memorial benches and read each one, thinking of the loving family who offered these to all of us for our weary moments.

Eventually I noticed flowers occasionally and I was impressed and delighted at the continuing thoughtfulness and caring by people who still remember their loved one. If the flowers do anything, they serve

to brighten our walks! I am appalled to think any fellow human would remove them!

Hats off to Coun. Pam Cunningham for her astute comment on pg. 2 of our most recent Peachland View.

To Charrie Fichter and family, and to Brooklyn and her friends I say thank you for your lovely flowers as we all pause for our reminisces.

Dear editor, The 97th Peachland Fall Fair is now complete and we could not continue this amazing tradition in our community without the help of so many volunteers and dedicated committee members that put in countless hours to make the Fall Fair a success.

We wish to thank Mayor Cindy Fortin and MP Dan Albas for their assistance at the opening and closing ceremonies, the Peachland Quilters for making the beautiful quilt for our raffle, the Ladies Hospital Auxiliary for their luncheon, pie and coffee, the Peachland Boxing Club boys that help us set up and take down the tables, the Sunshine Singers, the Peachland Strummers, Margaret Martin and Wayne Power for their entertainment, Jessie Etchert for face-painting for the little ones, the Peachland Ambassadors for all their assistance, and our Judges for coming out early on Saturday morning to help us decide our winners.

We especially want to thank IGA for letting us sell our raffle tickets in their entranceway, our sponsors that help financially - with a special thank you to Chris Boyle for sponsoring the new Georgie Boyle Memorial Trophy for Most Points in Bread-making, and all the businesses and Chamber that helped distribute our booklets.

To those that entered their items into the Fair, whether it was their first time entering or long-time challengers - we appreciate your time and interest, and we congratulate you and thank you for sharing your talents.

From the Committee Members - we say thank you to our President Martha Jenkins for all the behind-the-scenes work and many extra hours put in to make the Peachland Fall Fair continue towards our 100th year.

We’re not moving airports or tilting at windmills, either Dear editor, Unfortunately Ethel Couture in last weeks view has not thought through what four-laning would mean to many, many, many others who live on the present highway.

We did not buy near an airport, we bought near a two-lane highway. The noise is not the problem for us. The problem will be where do we live when they move us out - NO CHOICE.

We bought our mobile home for the view, the cost, and for our retirement to be as pleasant as possible.

Can she tell me where can we get that if the present highway is four-laned at the same cost as we have living on such a limited income ?

We have been told by the committees involved that the cost of bypassing would be faster and less costly than

changing what we have now. Please don’t insult the public officials we elected because a decision was made that someone objects to. Our council is doing the best for all concerned.

Regret or confusion? Parsing the news on New Monaco Dear editor, The heading in the Peachland View stating that ‘Councillors shoot down New Monaco road and immediately regret it,’ is wholly inaccurate.

There was no regret but there was confusion. Council debated how to defer the motion of support to the next meeting in order to get more details of the road plan.

The problem arose because Councillor Schierbeck insisted on moving the motion to support giving those who wanted more information no choice but to vote against it.

On the basis of what was presented, they were justified in not supporting the application. New Monaco has completely changed their original plans for access and what was going to be an emergency exit road, built in the last stages of development, has become the primary road in the first stage to serve, I believe, two new developments of over 40 houses. This proposed new road is above an existing neighbourhood. The construction of this new primary road may involve blasting and soil removal. No Geotech plans were presented and I believe James Kay admitted he had no accurate plans, so I assume it is impossible to know how near the other properties below it will be and what effect it

may have, unless approved when detailed drawings will be provided. These questions, amongst many others, need to be addressed and reassurance given, that no properties will be damaged in the construction process. In the light of such a drastic change and major disruption during construction, it is only right that we have a public hearing.

Furthermore, Cory Gain assured Council that New Monaco will need to build access to HW97 before they can proceed with their development. In this case, why would New Monaco want to build this new road when the development cannot proceed without approval for access on to HW97/97c? Could it be because once this Crown land is secured and road approved, New Monaco will have the right to sell plots? In which case, together with the other two developments, (who it appears James Kay also represents) and the said sold plots, access to HW97/97c by New Monaco may never proceed. The road could be access to numerous developments, channelling more traffic on Trepanier which already has issues.

Peachland has a history of developers not delivering on their promises, including

the now bankrupt Ponderosa and I understand it is the same engineers representing New Monaco who represented Ponderosa.

New Monaco stated in their original announcement that this new road will benefit residents by having access onto HW97C, which suggested access had been approved when in fact no drawings have been submitted to MOTI, let alone given approval. I have come to the conclusion that the only way we can ensure New Monaco sticks to it original plans is to defer the purchase of Crown land to build this road until access to HW97/97c is secured and construction underway.

Thank you to the Councilors for voting against the motion, they truly acted on behalf of the local community and shame on the others who blindly gave their support, one of which voted in favour, despite the fact that he admitted he had done very little, if no, research and felt had let his constituents down in not doing so, whilst another said words to the effect that we should just trust the developer, which is exactly what Peachland has done in the past and now have two major defunct developments in doing so.

Finally, as I understand, had it not been for the fact this major change in plan had not involved purchasing Crown land, which legally needed an announcement in the paper, then this new primary road, which could potentially serve, I believe, up to 2,600 residences, could have been approved without and residents being aware of it. It is expected to question developers tactics but is the city operating ethically when it appears they manipulated this application in order to avoid a public hearing?

You may think this does not effect you but beware, many areas of Peachland have had large developments approved and the same thing could be happening in your neighbourhood.

I understand Peachland has approved development applications of over 10,000 units and these need to be undertaken in a transparent manner, with residents and councillors kept fully informed with regular updates otherwise a culture of residents distrusting developers and the municipality will be created.

Curtis Road closure puts cyclists at risk: UBCO riders REBECCA TYSON It is a shameful day when a beautiful, safe, and accessible bicycle route is closed. Curtis Road is the safest, most direct route to the UBC campus in Kelowna with the least amount of traffic and elevation gain for cyclists from almost everywhere in Kelowna except Rutland. The BC Supreme Court, however, recently ruled in favour of those few residents who objected to sharing their road with cyclists and pedestrians, and the access to the campus has now been closed to everyone, even those living on Curtis Road south of the entrance to campus.

How did this appalling situation come about? With traffic congestion and pollution levels steadily rising in the valley, an extensive and functional bicycle network has never been more important. There were three major parties involved in the 30-year dispute: the city, the university, and the Curtis Road residents who took the case to court (according to our sources, it is only a small minority of the residents on the road who objected to cyclists and pedestrians using it

to access the university).

PREMIER CHRISTY CLARK with Chelsea First Nation Chief Corrina Leween (left) signed a framework agreement that will explore economic opportunities in the resource sector, power infrastructure to

support future industrial development, cultural, heritage and training initiatives and financial payments.

First Nation, B.C. ‘partners on a healing journey’ CONTRIBUTED It has been more than 60 years since the Cheslatta people were displaced from their homes and cultural sites to make way for construction of Kenny Dam in northwestern B.C. Today, the Cheslatta Carrier Nation and the B.C. government signed a framework agreement designed to help heal historic wounds and shape a better future.

“We cannot change history, but working together, we can create more opportunity and sustainable prosperity for the Cheslatta people,” said Premier

Patrick Bell

Christy Clark, during a visit with the Cheslatta community that included seeing first-hand one of the graveyards that has been subject to flooding. “With goodwill and commitment we are working to chart a new path to reconciliation and the agreement we’ve signed today moves us closer to that goal.”

The purchase of private land for community expansion and economic development will be considered, but only on a willing seller, willing buyer basis.

Overall, the framework agreement provides the Cheslatta with early benefits up to a max-

imum of $2.3 million.

“The recognition and willingness of the provincial government to resolve this on-going issue between the Cheslatta t’en and B.C. gives me confidence that, as a community leader, I can move my people forward with dignity toward a long term resolution,” said Chief Corrina Leween. “I’m excited, emotional and pleased and I believe this Agreement will be positive for the Cheslatta community, as well as, for neighbouring First Nations, our local community and the Region as a whole.”

Through the framework agreement, the Cheslatta and the Province will explore economic opportunities in the resource sector, power infrastructure to support future industrial development, cultural, heritage and training initiatives and financial payments.

economic and social development will also be examined.

“We are working with Cheslatta to create new social and economic opportunities,” said John Rustad, Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation. “In true partnership, we’re going to be looking at ways to address flooding issues in Cheslatta lands and seeking agreement on measures to improve their economic prospects and quality of life.”

Over the past 63 years, the Cheslatta regularly recover skeletal remains of their ancestors on the lakeshore and estimate that more than 60 Cheslatta graves have been destroyed.

The Framework Agreement between the Cheslatta Carrier Nation and the Province of British Columbia provides guiding principles to assist the Cheslatta and the Province with focussed negotiations toward a long-term reconciliation and settlement agreement.

T h e Province and Cheslatta will work together on the following main elements: Advancement of cultural, heritage, and train-

ing initiatives for Cheslatta members; Development of a land package, which may include: * Crown grants of fee simple land; * resource use tenures; * land designations, such as ecological reserves and old growth management areas; and * funding to support the purchase of private land. * Discussion and development of collaborative management arrangements for protected areas, as identified under the Protected Areas of British Columbia Act, S.B.C. 2000, c. 17; * Facilitation of long-term economic opportunities for Cheslatta in areas such as: * forestry; * agriculture; * commercial recreation, * transportation; and * other resource based sectors. * Co-ordination with the BC Hydro and Power Authority to provide three-phase power to certain areas, including a Cheslatta industrial site; * Financial payments to Cheslatta; * Establishing a relationship with Rio Tinto to facilitate collaboration on Nechako Reservoir management; * Certainty provisions including releases and indemnities; * Charting a path forward towards further reconciliation.

“The Okanagan is fortunate to have an agency like the Water Board that is working on a scale that allows flexibility, and an organizational structure that encourages strong dialogue on these issues – with government, farmers, residents and others, all at the table,” Manfree added.

Manfree’s presentation was followed by a recognition and celebration of such dialogue – the 10th anniversary of the Okanagan Water Stewardship Council. The council is the Water Board’s technical advisory body made up of representatives from 28 water stakeholder agencies who volunteer their time monthly to provide independent advice and policy recommendations for sustainable water management in the Okanagan. Agencies include the BC Fruit Growers and BC Cattlemen’s Association, BC Wildlife Federation, Water Supply Association of BC, Okanagan Nation Alliance, Environment and Climate Change Canada, B.C.

ects, from providing input to water policy, to research, to on-the-ground projects that improve our water.

Sears also presented the Water Board’s Annual Report “A Watershed in the World” highlighting progress made by the agency on several projects throughout the 2015-16 year.

These include: research to better understand the valley’s groundwater supply, Environmental Flow Needs work to determine the water needs of fish, Eurasian Milfoil control, expanded communication initiatives for example with the Make Water Work water conservation and Don’t Move A Mussel campaigns, as well as an extension of the Water Board’s direct services to Okanagan local governments including assistance with the development of drought plans.

“All around us, and across North America, things are changing – from the weather, to the water laws, and everything in between,” Sears said. “Some of these changes are challenging, some positive, but we want to help our Okanagan communities be ready. California provides some extreme examples and some great solutions that we can learn from.”

LUMBY’S SARAH ROSS has had what she describes as an emotional summer. Her family’s home burned down a few months ago, and they have been living in a rental unit

since. However, Ross’ summer is ending a positive note after winning the Guaranteed $1 Million Prize on the SEPT. 7, 2016 Lotto 6/49 draw. “It’s been an emotional time,” said Ross. “Our family and community have been so supportive throughout the summer. We’re very thankful.” The winning ticket was purchased at the Pharmasave on 30th Avenue in Vernon.

Electric Avenue comes to Peachland

BY VIEW STAFF The beach is no place for an electric car, just ask mom.

Beach Avenue, though, may just be the perfect place for an EV party and parade. The fun starts at 10:30 a.m. this Sunday, Sept. 18.

Tracy Hesla, who hopes to have a Tesla someday and swears the poetry of that is a coincidence, plans to bring his Leaf and Volt to the event, which lines up with National Drive Electric Week.

“This is not a sales event organized by dealers,” Helsa said. “Please come and get your questions answered from people who own and drive electric vehicles every day. The knowledge from the registered participants is approaching over 500,000 electric kilometres.”

For the Tesla owners there is a Supercharger in Kelowna and a lot of wineries in the area have destination chargers. There is a DC charger in West Kelowna.

Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust turns 10 CONTRIBUTED Kelowna, British Columbia, September 7th, 2016 - The Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust (SIDIT) was started in 2006 when the BC Government enacted legislation launching the Trust and providing a one-time funding allocation of $50 million.

The Trust is governed by a 13-member Board, eight of the members are representatives of local municipalities and are elected to the Board by the local Regional Advisory Committees, the other 5 members of the Board are appointed by the Provincial Government.

Over the past 10 years SIDIT has disbursed $49.8 million into economic development initiatives in the Southern Interior and created 2,609 jobs.

Ten years later SIDIT is proud to have

sustained its initial funding allocation and as of March 31, 2016 SIDIT’s current assets total $50.6 million.

“I am proud to be the Chair of the Board for the Southern Interior Development Initiative Trust” states Grace McGregor, SIDIT Chair. “SIDIT continues to honour its goal of maintaining the Trust so that it is sustainable, while providing continual support for economic initiatives in the Southern Interior.”

The Trust is maintained by making wise business decisions, adhering to disbursement levels and keeping expenses low. They are sensitive to the uniqueness of the communities they support, the environment and are always looking to add value to the Applications are approved based on impact, sustainability, and individual merit.

Tech sector blazing across B.C., sets record in Okanagan: report CONTRIBUTED Accelerate Okanagan, the leading technology accelerator in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, today released the results of a report on the technology sector’s economic impact in 2015.

Commissioned by Accelerate Okanagan, the study was conducted by a third party researcher with Small Business BC, and was focused on assessing two-year growth of the Okanagan technology sector, further to a similar 2013 report.

In 2015, the Okanagan technology industry contributed $1.3 billion to the overall Okanagan economy, including direct revenues of $1.02 billion generated by technology companies, and an indirect impact of $284 million from businesses supplying inputs to the technology sector.

These figures are significant as they represent an increase of over $300 million of revenue contribution to the Okanagan economy since 2013 - an unprecedented 30 per cent growth rate in two years. For reference, in 2013 the overall BC technology industry contributed $23 billion to the economy, with 5.2-per-cent annual growth.

Accelerate Okanagan’s CEO, Raghwa Gopal, explained that the study clearly illustrates that the region’s technology sector is on a major growth path, and is building value and diversity throughout the Okanagan. The economic study further revealed that the Okanagan technology sector is growing faster than any other British Columbia sector.

According to the 2015 economic impact survey, the Okanagan Valley is home to 633 technology businesses with a collec-

tive workforce of 7,600 employees, with the average business employing eight people. For reference, the 2013 Okanagan study showed 558 technology businesses with a workforce of 6,551 employees.

Over a two-year period, the Okanagan’s technology workforce has increased by 16 per cent to now employ an additional 1,049 people. This is equivalent to five companies the size of Okanagan-based QHR Technology, which recently sold for an estimated $170 million.

“Technology innovation is rapidly transforming every industry and sector,” said Gopal. “Nearly all business is becoming ‘technology-enabled’. The growth we’re seeing is being driven from companies across the whole region, from Salmon Arm to Osoyoos, in a wide range of sectors — including agriculture, energy, healthcare, software, telecommu-

nications, and advanced manufacturing.”

Okanagan technology industry growth is creating thousands of jobs for highly skilled people who are increasingly migrating to the area to enjoy the Okanagan lifestyle. More than half (52 per cent) the Okanagan technology workforce is under age 35 - a significant increase of 14 per cent since the 2013 survey (38 per cent).

This 2015 survey brings particularly welcome news for the City of Kelowna and other local organizations.

“It’s really gratifying to see this growth trend in our local technology sector,” said City of Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran. “It has taken vision and hard work

by Accelerate Okanagan, local technology companies and local governments to establish an environment where talented young people want to live and excel in their work.”

Oliver quake not that weird, say ‘experts’ KEITH LACEY

The depth of the earthquake was reported to be about one kilometre, “which is a very shallow seismic event for this region,” said Bird.

It is not unusual for earthquakes of this magnitude to to cause any significant damage or personal injury and be felt in the South Okanagan, she said. there have been no reports of damage, said Bird.

“We’ve seen earthquakes in this region at around this level once every few years,” she said. “It’s quite common to have an earthquake in this region once every few years.”

From her many years of experience, there would seldom be any personal injuries or property damage caused by an earthquake under 5.0 magnitude, she said.

pare an earthquake preparedness kit and for neighbours to consider working together to formulate a “neighbourhood preparedness plan,” said Bird.

“It’s most often those who live closest to you who you would have to rely on if a more serious earthquake were to take place,” she said. “It’s never a bad idea for neighbours to work together to put together a plan should a more catastrophic episode take place.”

Emergency Management B.C. has a link on their website which informs members of the public what they should do to put together an emergency preparedness kit, she said.

Historical paleontological data indicates the largest earthquake in British Columbia’s history took place in the 1700s and the largest earthquake recorded in modern times using sophisticated data was an 8.1 magnitude earthquake that hit the Queen Charlotte fault near Haida Gwaii in 1949, she said.

“There were some serious injuries in that earthquake … and 8.1 earthquake is very significant,” she said.

Bird said she would expect some “very minor” aftershocks throughout the course of the next 24 to 48 hours.

“If there were to be some aftershocks, we would expect them to be very minor … probably in the neighbourhood of 3.0 magnitude,” she said. “They likely would not be felt by those who were affected by the earthquake on Saturday morning.”

British Columbia's minimum wage increases on Sept. 15 CONTRIBUTED As announced on May 4, 2016, the British Columbia government is increasing the minimum wage in two stages beginning Thursday, Sept. 15, to better reflect the province's overall economic growth and ensure all workers benefit from B.C.'s thriving job market.

The first increase - effective Sept. 15 of this year will be 40 cents and will bring the general minimum wage up to $10.85 per hour and the liquor server minimum wage to $9.60. These new rates include the 10 cents scheduled for the 2015 Consumer Price Index (CPI), plus an additional 30 cents.

The second increase - effective Sept. 15, 2017 - will be 30 cents plus an amount based on the 2016 CPI (currently estimated to be 10 cents) and will bring the general minimum wage rate to at least $11.25

and the liquor server minimum wage to $10. The 2016 CPI will be available from Statistics Canada by March 2017.

The daily rate for live-in home support workers and live-in camp leaders, as well as the monthly rates for resident caretakers and farm worker piece rates (for harvesters of certain fruits and vegetables) will also increase proportionate to the general minimum hourly wage increases on the same dates.

A number of factsheets for workers and employers have been updated to reflect the minimum wage increases, and are available on the Employment Standards Branch website, including: A Minimum Wage Factsheet available in six languages Minimum Wage - Liquor Server Commission Sales Farm Labour Contractors (in 10 languages)

Reconnecting with friends and teachers, returning to the routine of school, and sharing stories of all the fun things we did over the summer, September is an exciting time for many.

The Peachland Boys and Girls Club had a very active summer with many fun adventures, events, and out trips.

Daycamp highlights included pony rides at Hoofprints Barnyard, braving the ropes at Myra Canyon Adventure park, hunting Pokemon around Peachland and racing down the slip and slide at the Webber Road Boys and Girls Club in West Kelowna.

VUE Weekly is seeking some serious professional help!

ASSOCIATE EDITOR Wendy passed away on August 25, 2016 at the age of 91 years. She was predeceased by her wonderful husband Derek in 1986 and her favourite son John (Judy) in 2013.

Daughters Jane (Doug) and Margaret (Greg) miss their dear mother very deeply.

As do her 5 loving grandchildren Season, Samantha, Brett, Megan and Zachary (Cheeky little monkeys !) and 5 (6?) great-grandchildren.

Wendy was born in England and survived The Blitz in WW II London. She was very proud to have served in the ATS (Auxiliary Territorial Service) in support of Derek who flew with the RAF. They moved to Vancouver shortly thereafter and then to Calgary where the children were raised.

Wendy had a winter home in Palm Springs where she befriended many similarly minded fun loving people. Her permanent residence was at Antler Beach until retiring to the Heritage in West Kelowna where she held court with many dear friends....and maybe had a “spot” of wine or two.

No service at Wendy’s request, cremation.

Special thanks to the caring staff at the Heritage and KGH. Business services

It’s something that the boys have done since day one, but it’s more necessary now than ever.

Buckcherry has added fuel to the genre’s fire for nearly two decades now. The Grammy Award-nominated outfit is responsible for smashes including Lit Up off their gold-certified 1999 self-titled debut as well as Crazy Bitch and Sorry from 2006’s platinum 15. Along the way, they’ve shared stages with everyBUCKCHERRY.COM body from AC/DC and Mötley Crüe to Slipknot and BUCKCHERRY - JOSH Todd, Keith Nelson, Stevie D., Kelly Lemieux and Xavier Muriel - and former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach play Rob Zombie, among others.

#30 THATCHER DEMKO 2ND ROUND DRAFT PICK, 2014

2016

Name: Cloud Born: March, 2014 Cloud takes his time getting to know you, and you have to work for his trust. For this reason we do not recommend him going to a home with rowdy children. He would do best in a home with a consistent routine. Cloud would be well suited to a home with an acreage where he can run free, but still be a part of the family. If you have any questions about Cloud, please contact the Penticton SPCA.
