Visitor centre and district seeking creative solutions to support service expansion Joanne Layh Peachland View
As the primary school renovation project progresses towards completion, Peachland Visitor Information Centre (VIC) staff are still seeking creative solutions to help meet increased funding de-mands associated with the expanded service they plan to provide in the new building.
As a designated anchor tenant, the VIC hopes to occupy their space in pri-mary school building by the May long weekend, provided the renova-tion project remains on schedule.
VIC tourism services coordinator Loretta Robinson says addition-al funding is needed not because they’re moving to a new building, but
because they will be in-creasing the services they deliver. Once in the new building, the VIC will operate more space for visitor information, as well as a gift shop and an interpretive centre that will include a bat education station.
Robinson says the new location, increased profile, easier access, better identification and recent online and social media marketing efforts will also contribute to increased activity in the centre.
“We’re anticipating we’re going to at least double the visitations and then we will have a staff problem,” Robinson said in a presentation to the committee of the whole last month.
“One of the things that will build our shoulder season is that interpretive centre. We have so much interest in that interpre-tive centre that will bring people. Not only that, as we all know, we had an amazing space revealed in the hall and will be working with the arts council to develop some-what of a Peachland art gallery,” Robinson said. “That building is going to be a tourism experi-ence in itself.”
However, with in-creased services offered

also come increased costs and the VIC has requested Peachland council consider a sig-nifi cant increase in the fee for service contract the centre has with the district.
The VIC (under the umbrella of the cham-ber) received $48,000 from the district through a fee for service con-tract in 2012 and last month came to Peach-land council requesting for a $49,000 increase in 2013 to help pay for increased marketing costs and an additional permanent staff mem-ber associated with the delivery of increased ser-vices.
In their presentation to the committee of the whole, Robinson and Peachland Chamber of Commerce president Rob Campbell asked council to give their request consideration during current budget deliberations.
While the efforts of the
VIC drew praise from Peachland council, a signifi cant budget com-mitment seems unlikely to be forthcoming.
“I wouldn’t support increased funding,” Councillor Hall said. “My primary responsibil-ity is to the taxpayers of Peachland.”
Councillor Moberg questioned the VIC’s delivery projections for 2013: “I don’t see a big expansion this year that we can justify a 100 per cent increase or better.”
Mayor Keith Fielding suggested that district staff and council work with the chamber and VIC to fi nd creative solu-tions elsewhere.
“It’s obviously going to be a very hard sell to get taxpayers to fund the kind of increases that you’re looking for and I think we have to fi nd ways to engage the busi-ness community more aggressively in funding these initiatives,” Mayor Fielding said. “This is a very diffi cult budget year for us as well. We have
the full cost of policing. We’ve got a number of initiatives including economic development recommendations, now the chamber recommen-dations and BC Transit system proposals and a number of projects that are really competing for pretty scarce dollars. It’s really a time for us to get creative with you about how can we move this along and support the goals that you have in mind and do it in a way that isn’t a burden to the taxpayers.”
Since their presen-tation to council, the chamber and VIC have been in talks about ways to fi nd alternative fund-ing sources, Campbell told The View this week.
“Right now we’re still talking. We’re all trying to come up with some creative ways to deal with this,” Campbell said.
Council will continue budget deliberations over the coming weeks before adopting a 2013 fi nan cial plan.

The bylaw adjudica-tion system that allows area residents involved in minor bylaw infractions to take their disputes to an independent adjudi-cator working outside the traditional court-room will soon have the participation of the Re-gional District of Central Okanagan (RDCO), the province announced last week.
The Ministry of Justice program offers area resi-dents involved in minor bylaw infractions such as zoning and animal con-trol complaints to resolve bylaw disputes using an adjudication system.
“The process of dealing with bylaw infractions through a court system can be time consuming and costly,” Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff said. “This new adjudication system reduces the time required to resolve dis-putes, and diminishes pressure on the courts without increasing costs to taxpayers.”
The adjudication sys-tem eliminates the roles of court and court regis-tries in the administration and hearing of these dis-putes. The system also allows each local govern-ment to determine which bylaws it wants included. According to the prov-ince, the RDCO plans to use the new system to ad-minister zoning, business licensing, animal control, water, and other bylaw disputes.
The cities of Kelowna and Penticton, the dis-tricts of Lake Country, West Kelowna, Peach-
land and Summerland, the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen and the Town of Oliver already participate in the regional program that was spearheaded by Peachland chief adminis-trative offi cer Elsie Lemke several years ago.
Peachland and various neighbouring municipali-ties joined the program several years ago but until now the RDCO has been a holdout in the region.
“Going back over the last number of years the original board asked staff frequently why we weren’t participating in it and at that time it was never really seen as being an economically viable reason for us to join but over the last year it’s be-come more viable for the regional district,” regional district communications and intergovernmental af-fairs offi cer Bruce Smith told The View.
Smith said several years ago when other municipalities joined the program the regional board accepted a staff recommendation not to participate, but since then the RDCO has recon-sidered the matter and decided to proceed.
“It just seems that the court systems are so
backed up that bylaw cases take so long to get heard and in many case they can be dealt with fairly quickly through the adjudication program to the benefi t of everyone participating,” Smith said. “Within the last year our staff took another look at it and said, ‘Yeah, this is now worth us [the re-gional district] joining this group of other local governments in the bylaw adjudication program’”.
Smith says participa-tion in the system will save time for local gov-ernment staff as well as the person disputing the bylaw.
Independent adjudica-tors for the program are appointed by the Deputy Attorney General.
Adjudicator qualifi ca-tions are prescribed in regulation and include:
• Experience as an ad-judicator of disputes;
• Post-secondary train-ing in adjudication; and
• Successful comple-tion of specialized bylaw dispute adjudica-tion training.
RDCO staff have been working in conjunction with the province to bring a bylaw forward to the re-gional board to formally adopt within the next six months, Smith said.

Attention Princeton Avenue Users:
Logging Truck Access We want to hear from you!The logging industry has asked the District of Peachland to allow access to PrincetonAvenue from 6am to 6pm. This allows them to deliver one more load per day to thelocal sawmills. Currently, logging trucks wait at the top of Princeton Avenue until 7ambefore driving down to Hwy 97. Neighbouring communities allow for similar earlierstarts. Plus, given new braking technology, the logging trucks are quieter (no more“jake brakes”).

OPINION
The Peachland View
Betty Brown from Interior Health hit the nail on the head when she said too many chil-dren are being raised by electronic gaming
devices.Our youth interact more with these machines
than with their parents, which is so sad.Many of us parents have first-hand experience
with this troubling situation. Like a drug, our chil-dren are addicted to their iPods, iPads, Nintendo DS systems, PS3s and Xbox 360s. We practically have to wrench these devices out of their hands before they stop playing them. They don’t want to eat, talk, play outside or do anything creative; they just want to move little characters around on a screen. And we wonder why so many children are obese, illiterate, unhealthy and indifferent.
Take their electronics away and all you get is whining and complaining that there’s nothing to do. “Can we watch a movie, then?” Arrrgggh!
Our society has done a great job of teaching our children how to be lazy and non-productive. But as parents we have a duty to fight back and prevent our kids from becoming statistics in yet another article about unhealthy children.
We must re-program our youth how to have fun and be productive without technology. We have to get them outdoors, kicking and screaming if nec-essary. Plan your own scavenger hunt with cool prizes, or go ice fishing. Bring out the cards and learn how to play “Spoons,” a really fun game for the whole family. And Junior Monopoly is a great way to teach children how to manage money and real estate.
If parents don’t do this now, they’re going to re-gret it later when their children are fat, depressed and can’t carry a conversation past “I don’t know.”
Technology is great when we need it, but it is also our downfall. That’s why amenities like the Peachland Skate Park are so important. It gives people an incentive to get outdoors and escape the push-button trappings of society.
Unplug your children from their devices

Diesel is not to blameRegarding the poor dog Diesel, one has to say that
the [Central] Okanagan district, their lawyer and judge have no experience with dog behaviour. The judge listening to an inexperienced animal lawyer repre-senting the district states, “Kill him,” regardless of Mr. Smith allowing the animal on unfenced property and allowing the animal to roam the streets. It is not the dog’s fault. Like humans, they have likes and dislikes and there are things humans cannot detect. Dogs can. Many small dogs are agitators and push their luck – something that most owners do not realize. Even a trained animal may at times show aggressiveness and owners must be prepared. I do not advocate dogs be allowed to run in a dog park. Keep them on a leash. Go for a good walk. In this area there are many places to exercise and enjoy. You will live longer.
This matter could have been solved long ago by allowing Mr. Smith to keep the dog by insisting he
fences his property and uses a leash off the property. Simple. The [regional] district ran up a big bill kennel-ling the animal for months and now wants to charge the owner that stands by the dog that is no doubt a one man animal. It is now too late to try and change the subject as it has been kenneled too long. Give it back to Smith as he has a greater chance of retraining him as the animal trusts him. The photos prove that. Any future owner the [regional] district wishes to re-locate Diesel with will have to be knowledgeable in training and give simple affection.
And to the dog owners that laid the complaint I suggest they realize that their dogs are no angels ei-ther.
This dog has never attacked humans. Yet was con-demned. Shame on those that cannot see beyond their noses.

The Clarity Act is not one that is referenced very often in the cafes and cof-fee shops that I visit on a regular basis throughout Okanagan-Coquihalla. However, it is a topic that has been very prominently part of the discussion on Parliament Hill this past week. For those of you un-familiar with the Clarity Act, this is a law created under the former Chretien Liberal Government that ultimately stated the provi-sions on how any province, but more specifically Que-bec, could potentially leave Canada – a process also known as “secession” in parliamentary terms.
An MP from the Bloc Quebecois has recently sponsored Bill C-457, which proposes to repeal the Clarity Act and sug-gests that the Quebec provincial government and not the federal government should ultimately have ju-risdiction with respect to
the secession of Quebec. In response, NDP leader Tom Mulcair, through a NDP MP, has introduced Bill C-470. One key part of the NDP proposal is the following clause that, “the majority of valid votes are cast in favour of the proposed change”. This
requirement means that a simple majority of 50 per cent plus 1 could, in effect, open negotiations for Quebec to leave Can-ada. The major concern heard around Parliament Hill thus far is that the
NDP, through Bill C-470, is making it easier for Quebec to leave Canada largely for political reasons given that much of the NDP caucus comes from the province of Quebec. In response, the comment from the NDP is largely that Bill C-470 provides more clarity to the process of secession and how it might work in reality. Oth-ers have indicated that the bar for the separation of Quebec from Canada is being set too low by the NDP as well as the fact that Bill C-470 is unneces-sary. While the debate this week has certainly been in-teresting, I am personally not supportive of either bill. As a legislator I would like parliament to focus on creating more jobs and in-vestment, building a more skilled workforce and en-suring the safety of our streets. As a Canadian, I am proud to be part of a strong and united country.
Ultimately there will be a vote in the House of Com-mons and I welcome your views.
Also this week we will see the phasing out of the penny. As I reported in my April 16 MP report, the Royal Canadian Mint will no longer be distributing the penny. In the absence of the penny, a process of rounding up or down (affecting cash transac-tions only) as follows: For transaction between $1.01 and $1.02 cents the total would be rounded down to $1.00. Amounts of $1.03 - $1.04 would be rounded up to $1.05 while conversely amounts of $1.06 - $ 1.07 would also be rounded down to $1.05 and an amount of $1.08 or $1.09 would be rounded to $1.10. If you have a further question on this topic, please visit my website at www.danalbas.com/penny or call my of-fice at 1-800-665-8711.
This week, the penny drops

The Peachland Cham-ber of Commerce will hold a very important business forum on Wednesday, February 13 at the community centre from 7 – 9 p.m.
This forum is open to all businesses in Peach-land and we would encourage everyone to make their best effort to attend.
The purpose of this forum is to have interac-tive discussions around a number of important
issues and concerns re-lated to every business in Peachland, some as straightforward as con-tinuing to keep your doors open. We not only want our Chamber members to participate but also our non-cham-ber businesses. Our goal is to have every business involved to benefit from the discussions, input and ideas we will share.
The invitation to at-tend this forum has also been extended to the mayor and council and there have been requests to attend from our neighbouring chambers of commerce.
It is important to
remember that your chamber of commerce is your voice of busi-ness and as such does support the business-es and community of Peachland. This forum is where we get to hear your needs and your wants and work to meet future needs and expec-tations. However, we cannot do this alone. We need you to help us, help you. This two-way street, we are expand-ing on, is very exciting and we want it to con-tinue to grow. A quote from the Hon. Naomi Yamamoto, the newly appointed Minister of State for Small Business:
“When you have a strong chamber, your community is stronger.”
Our forum will consist of a slide pre-sentation on the topics of discussion and the opportunity for every-one to participate with comments, ideas and suggestions. Some of our topics, in short form are, member and non-member benefits, liaison and communications, marketing, networking, feedback and program development, business services, signage, new programs, and events. Time permitting, we will also have an opportuni-ty for open round table
discussions. Please plan to attend
the forum; it is for your benefit.

Spring is coming!Now that the snow is melting, let Lakeside Chiropractic Centre help you get back into form and get outside. Dr. Peter Stapleton can help you develop a plan to return to activity and assist with independent living.
Please call 778-479-3232 for an appointmentor visit our website at www.lakesidechiro.ca for more information.
Everyone is hoping for an early spring and getting out and walking again! Walking is one of the easi-est and best activities to stay active and can be a chance to socialize and catch up with a friend. However, the fi rst thing you should think about before walking is your footwear.
Most shoes are designed to last 500 - 700 km or a couple of years, depending on use, before they begin to break down and fail to pro-vide proper support. When the support begins to break down, extra motion in the foot and ankle occurs and can lead to problems in your knees, which can lead to problems in your hips and fi nally problems in your lower back. This is known as the kinetic chain and when one part of your ankle or foot is not getting proper support, problems travel up this chain and can create pain and dys-function along any part of it.
So which shoes are the best? There seems to be
endless options. Follow these four simple tests to fi nd the right shoe, or to check what you’re wearing now!
1. Dish rag test – twist your shoes like a dishrag. If it twists too easily this leads to torsional instabil-ity, which allows for excess motion of the foot and an-kle. 2. Pinch test – Pinch
the sides of the heel of the shoe between your thumb and for fi nger closer to the bottom of the shoe but not the sole. It should be rigid and not collapse together. 3. Push test – Also on the back of the heel push for-wards with your thumb. It should be rigid as well and not fold forward. 4. Fold test – Take the heel and
toe of the shoe and fold them together. The shoe should bend slightly where the ball of your foot is but should not occur in the middle of the shoe.
For any questions regard-ing footwear or walking call 778-479-3232 or visit Dr. Peter Stapleton at Lake-side Chiropractic Centre, 4403 2nd St. Peachland.

Many people in life let a disability slow them down, but not Pete Wyper. Even though Wyper has cerebral palsy (a condition he developed after an oxygen machine malfunctioned and left him without oxygen for five minutes after open heart surgery at eight weeks old), he has never let his disability define him. Instead, Peachland residents and others who meet him are quick to notice Wyper’s clever in-telligence, fantastic sense of humour, genuine hap-piness, and his relentless drive.
On most days, Wyper can be seen hiking with his border collie Riley in the hills of Peachland pursing his passion, pho-tography. Wyper first took a shine to art in high school and continued to teach himself the art of photography. On top of having a keen eye for capturing wild life, land-scapes and wild flowers, Wyper also paints his photographs.
Wendy Howard, the program coordinator of the Peachland Wellness Centre (PWC) recog-nized Wyper’s talent, and took an interest in him and his amazing talents. Wyper loves to share his knowledge and vol-unteers his own time to teach others about pho-tography and painting. The PWC also used his photographs as thank you cards and Christmas cards from the board. The PWC then approached Wyper and asked him if they could use his pho-
tographs in a greeting fundraiser. Wyper whole-heartedly agreed and the PWC created a collection of 85 breathtaking photo-graphs.
In essence, Wyper’s tal-ents and contributions are a welcome fixture in our Peachland commu-nity. As well, one of the most rewarding factors in Wyper’s fundraising art is that people who purchase his art can feel good about supporting the Peachland Wellness Centre. Overall, Wyper is the epitome of what a person can be when they don’t let their disability slow them down. Instead, Wyper shines as the won-derfully talented man that he is!
Wyper also has many
future aspirations. Most of all, he intends to con-tinue volunteering his talents at the PWC to inspire other people. He in fact hopes his zeal in community spirit will in-spire others to volunteer at the centre, an experi-ence he sees as rewarding for all involved. As well, he hopes to hold some of his own outdoor art classes on the beauti-ful and scenic Peachland beachfront as soon as the weather warms up.
If you are interested in purchasing any of Wyper’s artistic cards, please drop by the PWC in Peachland or at The View office. Cards can be purchased for $1 a piece or 5 for $7. Volunteers are also welcome.

PCAC artist of the month: Christopher ByrdChristopher Byrd is a
retired teacher of English, photography, cinematog-raphy, and graphic design from Montreal. In his retirement years as a freelance fine art photog-rapher he has taken the opportunity to travel the world recording his trav-els in digital images that he prints, mounts, and ex-hibits locally.
Byrd likes to specialize in natural abstract im-agery where he escapes closer to the macro world, one that lends itself to the imagination. He encour-ages the viewer to explore all possibilities rather than complacently stand back and accept what lies on the surface. The interplay of line, shape, form, space, and texture do much to shape his work.
Apart from many lo-cal exhibitions, Byrd has for the past three years participated in the Well-ness Centre speaker series by illustrating his more photojournalistic work through PowerPoint pre-sentations. His topics have been: A Journey into Mystical Lands - India and Nepal; Egypt - Ancient land of River and Des-ert; and last year Down Under: Australia/New Zealand.
As part of the same se-ries he will be offering on Tuesday, February 19 at 1:30 p.m. in the Little Schoolhouse a visual pre-sentation on Peru: The Amazon and Inca Civili-zation.
The images displayed here are mainly natu-ral abstracts inspired by the tropical rainforest of Costa Rica. Some of this work will also be on dis-play February 16 and 17 during the Peachland HeArts Festival at the Ar-tisans’ Showcase in 4th Street Place. These im-ages can also be viewed and purchased from the Peachland Community Arts Council website at www.pcartscouncil.com/artist_of_the_month.htm or from Byrd’s studio website at www.christo-pherbyrd.imagekind.com

Derek koch Emmanuel Church Special to the Peachland View
Well, well, well. We’ve come to the month of love again – February. For many, February is a wonderful month of great memories while for oth-ers, February is a painful month of lost love and heartache.
I’d like to reflect on love a bit. Last week, my wife and I celebrated our eighteenth wedding an-niversary. As part of our celebration, we watched the video of our wed-ding again. Wow! Has everybody changed since January 28, 1995. It was a cold, crisp day in Calgary and the warmth of our love for each other and from family and friends made up for the chill in the air. We laughed a lot
as we watched the video. “Look at her hair!” and
“Look what he’s wear-ing,” we exclaimed. Styles never stay the same (as my obnoxious teenagers constantly remind me). Neither does the meaning of love!
What does love actu-ally mean? On maga-zine covers and in our own life ex-periences, we con-stantly hear about someone finding love or be-ing in love. The context always focuses on the be-ginning of a relationship. While the beginning stag-es of love are important because love grows on the foundation of those stages, early love often described as infatuation,
will not last forever. Truly, in order for relationships to grow strong, a deeper form of love must develop.
I believe that if we re-ally want to know what deep love looks like, we need to look at the hard
days when the strength of love is tested. Incidentally, the difficult days rarely show up in those early days
b e c a u s e we’re so busy
being in love. What do the dark
days look like? Let me share a story with you. One of my greatest men-tors in the area of loving through dark times in marriage is my wife’s grandpa and grandma. We call them Mom-Mom and Pop-Pop. Mom-Mom
started to get severe arthri-tis as she got older and through the final 25 years of her life, Pop-Pop looked after her physical needs more and more, while her ability to move freely de-creased consistently. Near the end of her life, con-fined to a wheelchair, and after 50 years of marriage, nurses came and delivered home care but Pop-Pop was always there, helping her along. That is love!
In my search for true love, I keep coming back to I Corinthians 13 which tells us that, “love is patient and love is kind…” As you read through the rest of the chapter, you’ll soon realize that love in its tru-est form has very little to do with feelings and a lot to do with our decision to persevere in our rela-tionship commitments. Feelings come and go but true love works through
the difficult times. Perhaps we need to reevaluate how we celebrate love. We put so much time, energy, and money into wedding cer-emonies – the beginning of love. Maybe we should spend more time focusing on milestone anniversa-ries, recognizing couples and learning from couples who have worked through the difficult times and are still in love!
In our marriage relation-ship, one of our favourite
quips to each other dur-ing times of conflict are, “I love you but I sure don’t like you right now.” And then I think about Pop-Pop and what he would have done. Marriage truly is hard work and the truth is, feelings are often not far behind. And so, as we begin this month of love, my prayer is that in all of your relationships you would give and receive true love…the way love was meant to be.
