This year it will now cost a couple dollars more to dispose of garbage at the Westside Residen-tial Waste Disposal and Recycling Centre and Glenmore landfi ll.

As of January 1, the fl at fee for up to 250 ki-lograms of garbage was increased from $8 to $10.

The t ipping fee in-creases for garbage and other solid waste materi-als were approved earlier this year by the regional district board. The fee increases apply to both residential and commer-cial customers.

Loads of yard waste weighing under 250 kilo-grams will continue to be accepted free of charge.

“Hopefully this increase will also provide incentive

to residents and business-es to reduce, reuse and recycle as much as pos-sible,” regional district waste reduction manager Peter Rotheisler said.

For more information on tipping fee increases, visit regionaldistrict.com/recycle, or contact the Re-gional Waste Reduction Offi ce at 250-469-6250.

The Ministry of Energy, Mines and Natural Gas has ex-tended the smart meter installation deadline by one year, allowing property owners with concerns about the technol-ogy a little more time to hold out.

A media relations spokesperson for the Ministry, Sandra Steilo, says the extension was granted due to “shortages in qualifi ed labour, equip-ment and specialized meters, plus customer concerns.”

Steilo says BC Hydro has installed 93 per cent or 1.73 million of 1.87 million smart meters.

“To ensure the fi nal seven per cent of smart meters can be installed, the province is extending the deadline under the Clean Energy Act from December 31, 2012, to December 31, 2013,” Steilo said.

Some B.C. residents have refused to have

smart meters installed due to concerns about safety, privacy, and bill-ing.

While BC Hydro has allowed some residents to delay the install until their concerns are addressed, it is unclear what will hap-pen if residents continue to refuse the change-out beyond the new deadline.

The B.C. government says smart meters are expected to pay for them-selves over 20 years by enabling customers to conserve up to 15 per cent in energy costs.

BC Hydro began in-stalling smart meters in Peachland back in Sep-tember of last year.

The 55-year-old Peachland man who was taken to hospital for medical assessment after a standoff with po-lice on last month has been released from hos-pital.

Back on December 20 West Kelowna RCMP received a report that a man had made certain threats to harm himself and possibly others.

The report came in at around 9 a.m.

Media relations offi-cer Cst. Kris Clark says RCMP were made aware that the man’s mental health had been dete-riorating recently, which placed him in a possible situation of crisis.

As a result, police ob-tained a warrant for the man’s arrest under the authority of the Mental Health Act, in consul-tation with an Interior Health physician.

Clark says when po-

lice arrived at the man’s residence to execute the warrant, he refused to cooperate and led po-lice to believe that he intended to cause him-self harm by detonating an explosive device.

The area around the man’s residence was evacuated to ensure public safety and RCMP crisis negotiators were called to the scene, while resources with the Southeast District

Emergency Response Team were placed on standby in case the situ-ation deteriorated.

Fortunately, the man eventually walked out on his own and was ar-rested without incident.

Police took the man into custody and trans-ported him to hospital for a medical assess-ment.

The man was released from hospital on De-cember 26.

Property assessments drop throughout Central Okanagan, while Peachland values increase Joanne Layh Peachland View

While most Central Okanagan residents will see a value decrease on their property assess-ment notices for 2013, the average Peachland homeowner can expect a property value in-crease of $5,000.

A p p r o x i m a t e l y 82,000 Central Okana-gan property owners were mailed assessment notices this week, and while the average home-owner in both Kelowna and West Kelowna will see a $9,000 decrease in value, Peachland prop-erty values have gone up by $5,000, suggest-ing that Peachland real estate and development may be performing better than most neigh-bouring communities.

“Most homes in the Central Okanagan re-gion are remaining stable in value compared to last year’s assessment roll,” deputy assessor Tracy Wall said. “Most home owners in the Central Okanagan can expect modest changes in the -5 per cent to +5 per cent range.”

Overall, Central Okan-agan assessments fell from $40,748,380,318 in 2012 to $40,599,516,028 in 2013.

The assessment rolls in each jurisdiction are as follows:Kelowna:• $501,000 (2012)• $492,000 (2013)Kelowna (strata):• $238,000 (2012)• $235,000 (2013)Peachland:• $445,000 (2012)• $450,000 (2013)Lake Country:• $520,000 (2012)• $519,000 (2013)West Kelowna:• $489,000 (2012)• $480,000 (2013)

“We base it [assess-ment values] on sales data so we would have considered the sales of residential properties that sold in Peachland around July 1,” Wall told The View. “The mar-ket conditions indicate that sales have gone up slightly…throughout the whole of the Okanagan the trend is something of a downward trend. Generally the market hasn’t changed a whole lot, but some areas have a little bit more than others. It is generally down from about zero to 5 per cent, and in the north a little bit more, but there are a couple of

exceptions. Peachland is one of them and Lumby is the other that went up a little bit.”

Homeowners will not necessarily experience an increase in property taxes as a result of in-crease in assessment values because tax rates are adjusted accord-ingly. BC Assessment calculates property val-ues based on real estate sales. While your prop-erty value may have gone up, how much tax-es will change in each municipality will be determined by budgets brought forth by local government and other taxing authorities, who will calculate property tax rates based on the assessment roll for their jurisdiction.

Last year in Peach-land 55.5 per cent of taxes collected from the average single-family dwelling went to the District of Peachland for general taxes, police taxes, and parcel taxes such as water and sew-er, with the remaining

44.5 per cent going to other taxation authori-ties such as the RDCO, Okanagan Regional Library and the school district.

Property owners who feel that their property assessment does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2012 or see incorrect information on their notice should contact BC Assessment as soon as possible to speak to an appraiser.

The deadline to submit a Notice of Com-plaint (appeal) for an independent review by a property assessment review panel is January 31.

The property assess-ment review panel is independent of BC As-sessment. The panels are appointed annually by the Ministry of Commu-nity, Sport and Cultural Development, and meet between February 1 and March 15 to hear formal complaints.

BC Assessment did not provide a breakdown of statistics regarding com-mercial and industrial properties in the Cen-tral Okanagan. Within the entire region, com-mercial and industrial property value changes range from -5 per cent to +5 per cent.

Local business own-ers may recall that several years ago there was a steep increase in commercial assessment values in Peachland fol-lowing a reassessment project. Wall says there has not been a recent commercial or residen-tial reassessment project done in Peachland that might explain the im-provement in local market conditions.

OPINION

Joanne Layh

It is day four into 2013 (or at least it will be when this paper is printed) and gyms across the world are no doubt packed with people

determined to keep their New Year’s resolutions to get in shape and lose weight this year.

Many people make New Year’s resolutions each year. January 1 is the start of a new year for most people around the world, so it makes sense that people should want to use a fresh year to make a fresh start in life, however big or small that change might be.

Making New Year’s resolutions isn’t new; the tradition apparently predates the Grego-rian calendar. According to Wikipedia (not the best source, I’ll grant you), ancient Babylonians made promises to their gods at the start of each year to return borrowed objects and pay their debts. Some things never change; getting your finances in order still comes high on the list of the top New Year’s resolutions.

According to an article in the University of Scranton Journal of Clinical Psychology, the top 10 New Year’s resolutions are:• Lose weight;• Get organized;• Spend less and save more;• Enjoy life to the fullest;• Stay fit and healthy;• Learn something exciting;• Quit smoking;• Help others in their dreams;• Fall in love; and • Spend more time with family.

While a lot of New Year’s resolutions fall by the wayside, many people are successful in reaching their goals for at least a little while, which I suppose is better than nothing.

If nothing else, making a resolution at least reflects a conscious decision to want to change. Being consciously aware of the desire to change makes it far more likely that a person actually will change. Apparently the likelihood of suc-cess goes up even further if you write your goals down.

Sure, many people will break their New Year’s resolutions before the week is through. But some won’t or they’ll get back on track after a lapse. While you might not succeed in reaching your goal this year, it never hurts to keep trying.

Be it resolved

2013 will be an excit-ing year for the province of British Columbia. Thanks to fixed election dates, we know there will be a provincial general election in May with the writ to drop in April of 2013. Here in the riding of Penticton and elsewhere across the province, voters will send a new MLA to Vic-toria along with new ideas and a new man-date. Whoever becomes your newly elected MLA I hope that citizens will take the time to work with that individual and never forget that people can achieve great things when they work togeth-er.

Also coming along in 2013 will be the reinstatement of the pro-vincial sales tax (PST) replacing the current HST. As the PST replac-es the HST the selective list of some goods and largely services will also again become exempt from a provincial portion of taxation. Ultimately this will mean that the provincial government will see a decrease of revenue at a time when many citizens are look-

ing for increased services via hospital expansions, increased education spending, more parks created and a host of other spending related increases. Although Moody’s investor servic-

es has re-affirmed B.C.’s triple-A credit rating, the outlook on our debt has been changed from a stable rating to nega-tive. This fact should not be lost on all taxpayers when it comes to expec-tations of lower taxes and increased spending.

Also occurring in the new year are in-creases in B.C. MSP premiums, a fact that was recently criticized by a local Kelowna based newspaper edito-rial. Considering that

the Kelowna hospital has undergone the re-cent addition of the Interior Heart and Sur-gical Centre project at a cost of $367 million, it was disappointing to read criticisms of an MSP increase of $ 2.50 per person on a monthly basis. It should also be noted that often these same editorials are frequently critical when there is a lack of these health services to begin with. Providing world-class healthcare does not come inexpensively and it should be noted that B.C. MSP premiums only cover a relatively small percentage of the annual B.C. Health bud-get. More importantly is that the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre is now located within 60-90 minutes of thousands of citizens and is now saving lives and allowing patients to return home much more timely than ever before possible.

Recently I met with a Penticton constitu-ent who received a life saving procedure at the Kelowna Cardiac Cath lab. The fact that this type of medical

procedure is now avail-able in our region and provided by a team of experienced profession-als is literally saving lives every day. The new cardiac surgery program is also anticipated to benefit in excess of 600 local citizens in 2013. All of these services are extremely costly to pro-vide and yet from those patients I have met who underwent these types of procedures none have questioned the costs or the quality of the care they received. In fact many have com-mented they consider themselves truly fortu-nate to live in a province within a country that provides affordable uni-versal health care for all. Our health is one of the most important op-portunities that we all have in 2013 to make improvements on. Let us all go forward in the new year in an effort to make changes that sup-port and improve our personal health. Regard-less of dietary changes, more exercise or all of the above let’s make the most of 2013 by living healthier happier lives.

MLA Bill Barisoff

The new year brings exciting changes

Why not install a traffic light on each entrance like they do in construction zones where you only have one lane for traffic?

If a car is detected going downhill, the south light would turn red, and the car would have to wait be-

fore going up. The same if a car is detected going uphill, the northern light would turn red so the cars on top of the road would have to wait before going down.

CaLLeigh eLLis Special to the Peachland View

In Peachland, the year 2013 is looking like it could be dubbed the year of youth. With the skate park completed and set to be landscaped and completely user friendly by the spring, and the youth centre in the Peachland Primary School building open-ing in the spring, there is a lot for the young and young at heart to look forward to. For the last few years the lead-ership in Peachland has made an effort to make Peachland a community for people of all ages, including the often left out 10 to 19 age range, and this year the young people of our commu-nity will get to see their needs met.

Although the skate park has already been in use this fall, next year will be the first year it will get all season use. This is a project youth, and the young at heart, have been advocating for in this community for nearly a decade and many had given up on the dream of ever hav-ing an amenity like this in the community. With the hard work of district staff, community inves-tors and young people, we finally have a skate park to call our own. The previously pleasant look-ing piece of green space along the highway has been transformed into a dynamic space that will

attract people of all ages and physical activity lev-els. Having a space like this that can be occupied by every demographic in the community shows how progressive this community can be.

For youth, this project being completed proves that there are leaders in this community who ap-preciate and value youth, and are willing to take the time to try to under-

stand their needs. After this project had fallen to the wayside in the past, youth had a “seeing is be-lieving” outlook on their community. Youth can now have a little more trust in their community.

The skate park is a great community asset for youth, but what about the youth that don’t enjoy those activities? What about the youth who are more interest-ed in art? Or cooking? What about the youth who need a place to meet with their friends after the sun goes down? And what are the youth going to do when it snows? The youth centre open-ing will hopefully answer all of those questions.

The youth centre in the Boys and Girls Club side of the Peachland Primary School building will be the only youth dedicated

space in the community. It will be a space for youth interested in art to be creative. It will have a kitchen where youth can learn and practice their cooking skills. It will be a space youth can use rain or shine, day or night, a place where youth can come to relax or a place youth can come and

learn new skills.Having a youth cen-

tre in Peachland will also bring different pro-grams for youth to the community. Some of these programs include: CareerLaunch, a pre-employment program that helps youth prepare to enter the workforce; Food Safe, a food safe-ty program for those

wishing to work in the service industry; babysit-ting courses, which gives youth the necessary tools to keep children in their care safe and happy; and the Home Alone course, a program that gives younger youth strategies to take care of them-selves for short periods of time.

There is still an op-portunity for youth to become involved in the development of the youth centre. If you are a youth who is interested call 250-859-3893 or like the Peachland Youth Centre on Facebook and learn how you can become involved and leave your own stamp on Peachland.

It’s back! Th e signs are all there. It hit home for me this past week while I was doing an announcement at one of Western Canada’s largest technical institutes. Th is post secondary training college graduates about 25 per cent of all of the completed apprentices going into a wide range of professions and occupations right across the country.

What they were telling me was good news, but not without its challenges. Th e administration and faculty reps said it was starting to look like déjà-vu all over again. Th e demand for all types of trades is unmistakeably surging upwards again. Th ey said it reminded them of the pressure they felt at the time of major employee shortages a few years ago.

It wasn’t that long ago. You remember. Demands for qualifi ed help or for those willing to be trained was so high that many fast food outlets couldn’t keep open their usual hours because they simply couldn’t fi nd the people.

I’m not saying we’re there yet. Th ere are still many people looking for work. But the strength of the economy is evident everywhere. All I have to do is refl ect on some of the events I was involved in this week.

Just last week I attended the opening of a huge new production facility in Okanagan Falls. Structurlam makes value added wood products that are used here and around the world. If you’re wondering what kind of projects they do, think Richmond Olympic skating oval…that breathtaking magnifi cent roof superstructure. Th ey did that.

Sometimes we aren’t aware of the amazing workers and technicians that we have right here in our own backyard. (Th ey also have a plant in Penticton.)

I was there this week to announce that they were the successful recipients of research dollars in the ongoing development of the next generation of laminated wood beams. Some of you fi nd that exciting. Others of you are about to nod off thinking about it. Well, hold on. Before I lose you, think about earthquake proof high-rise buildings, an apartment or offi ce tower up to 25 stories

high that is held up by resilient, shockabsorbing laminated beams and girders. Th edemand for the people and the product isstrong. And we have what it takes right hereto supply that demand.

Another sign of our growing economy wasevident at the annual Hong Kong businessdinner in Vancouver this week. As minister

for the Asia Pacifi c it was anhonour to bring remarks to thesold-out event. Th e mood in theroom was clearly optimistic.And it was optimism based on

hard facts, not simply hope.Agriculture and energy producers were

there, talking about what appears to be long-term growth and demand numbers. Aft erall, as the middle class continues to grow atan amazing rate and people move annuallyout of poverty by the tens of millions peryear in China, India and other previouslyimpoverished nations the demand fromthem for every type of product imaginablewill only increase. We are very well placedto meet those demands and see our ownlevels of standard of living and prosperityrise in the process.

Westbank First Nations continue to seeeconomic growth. Th is week I was withChief Robert Louie for the announcementof a construction project that will upgradea number of homes on WFN lands. Th atmeans there will be a need for trades andbuilding supply products. More jobs, moresales, more economic growth.

An international meeting of private andpublic sector transportation companies withtop people from around the world also tookplace here (Vancouver) to look at the growthneeds in transportation arising from ourgrowing economy. As I said, the signs of jobcreation and investment are everywhere. Wewill continue to work on the types of policythat will keep this momentum going.

On another note we can be proud of whatCanada is able to off er the world on twodiff erent counts this week. Th is week I hadthe honour of meeting with some of our fi nemembers of our Armed Forces. Canada hasbeen asked to provide soldiers, sailors, andfi ghter pilots to assist with other UnitedNations countries in subduing the Libyan

dictator in his ongoing assault on his own people.

Once again, as we have done throughout history, our Armed Forces will step up to protect those who are being slaughtered by the forces of dictators. As usual, I expect we will hear good reports from others in foreign countries that will have the honour of serving with our Armed Forces.

Learn to prepare fresh, healthy food easily

PatriCia guest Special to the Peachland View

Pickleballers and staff at the community cen-tre have been salivating every Monday morning for the past few months. That’s because delec-table aromas from the mouth-watering lunches created in the Cooking With Company class have been wafting through the foyer, drawing crowds of people wondering what the wonderful smell is.

The popular Cook-ing With Company class emphasizes fresh, local, healthy and fast food for singles and other gour-mets to whip up at home. As the class facilitator, I

believe the key to good health for people liv-ing alone is variety and ease of food preparation. When faced with dining alone these key ingredi-ents make life just that much easier. The menus are usually items that can be reused in another

incarnation with very little preparation so you don’t eat the same thing three or four times during the week. For example, aromatic black bean soup can be simmered down for a fabulous bur-rito spread the next day. Chicken stew turns into

soup, potpie and chicken tacos with just a few deli-cious additions.

Titillating conversation and fun was also on the menu during the six weeks of this Wellness Centre sponsored program. Sit-ting down for lunch every Monday was always in-

teresting as topics ranged from genetically modified foods and the dangers they pose to our health and the health of our planet to Fifty Shades of Grey. Lively conversations abounded as the class bonded in community by simply sharing the work and the delicious results. Wendy Clarke, our chip-per librarian incarnated as sous chef, added her energy to the proceedings as well as many volun-teer hours. There always seemed to be someone showing up just at the right time to taste the day’s delicacies.

I have been cooking for 45 years and am pas-sionate about local foods, fresh ingredients and fun in the kitchen. My vast knowledge of all things foodie equips me to share details of practical tips for adapting recipes, using your kitchen knives prop-

erly and chef’s insider tips on cooking procedures and tricks to make your life in the kitchen just that much more fun. What is the fastest way to peel gar-lic, anyway? Those who take the course can pick up great tips, meet some wonderful people and eat fabulous local food. What more can you ask for?

This course is a great deal too. Just $60 covers the class, the meal and an-other meal to take home with you for another day. The next course will be-gin on Tuesday, February 19 and will run for six weeks. Sign up now at the Peachland Community Centre because the first class was totally full.

Happy New Year!

A time many of us dread because we have resolutions that we are going to make with every intention of keeping this year. It might be quitting smoking, it might be losing weight, and it might be to drink less coffee or have more quality time with the important people in your lives.

I am going to suggest a new one… How about we try to be in less pain this year? How do you make a goal to do that? Much better than a nebulous goal to

“be healthier” I propose a specifi c goal of move better, feel better and live a pain free year!

The gyms are going to be packed with people who are trying really hard to make this year THE year! But how do we do it? I think of myself as the mechanic of your body… if it hurts to move it, your body is telling you something isn’t working right, and in turn

your body might be telling you that its time to see the mechanical doctor. It might be your ankle doesn’t work the same after a sprain, or it might be that your back hurts when you bend over to pick up your kids, or all the snow shoveling has taken its toll.

Your Doctor of Chiropractic (body mechanic) is right here in Peachland and ready to help. Let’s make 2013 the year that we don’t hurt anymore! I pray that we will all have an amazing year fi lled with peace, prosperity, and health.

“Let’s make 2013 the year that we don’t hurt anymore!”

Change is good! I know some people say they don’t like change, but the fact is that things are con-stantly changing. Just take a good look in the mirror - that is, if you are my age or older. But you may ask, how can that be good? Younger people won’t recognize it as quickly, but they are changing too. Our looks change, styles change, our families change, our neighbor-hoods change, our towns change, seasons change, even the weather man or woman changes. That’s why it’s essential to have something or rather someone in your life that never changes.

That can be true of only one, and if you haven’t

guessed who that is yet, let me direct you to the true and living God. In Malachi 3:6 God said, “I the Lord do not change.” God never lies. In fact, He cannot lie, for if He could, then He would not be the Almighty and Holy God. Lying is contrary to His nature as well as His will. God never changes His mind and therefore never has to take back any of His promises. What else would we expect from an eternal God who sees ev-erything at the same time, both the beginning and the end?

What He has prom-ised, He will do. Since Jesus Christ is God in the second person, the same thing is said of Him in Hebrews 13:8, that He is, “the same, yesterday, and today and forever.” He is the same in character and person from eternity

past, throughout the Old and New Testament as He will be forever. Aren’t you glad that God never changes? We can abso-lutely count on Him in everything He has revealed to us in His Word. If it were other-wise, then there would be no way of really knowing the truth and we would all still be quite in the dark. There would be no way of knowing what we could depend on or what we could expect in the fu-ture. Everything would be left up to our own imagi-nations.

And that brings me back to the discussion that change is good. We are just beginning a new

year and many people are getting rid of old habits and starting with new ones. There is nothing wrong with that.

What we need is a change that will

last forever - s o m e t h i n g that is new and never wears out or fades. It is no surprise to find that

kind of change is available only

through the One who never changes.

II Corinthians 5:17 tells us those who trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour are a new creation, not on the out-side, as Nicodemus first wondered how he could be born from his moth-er’s womb twice, but on the inside, so it will be noticed in our behaviour

and actions. This is a per-manent change because the verse says, “The old has gone, the new has come!”

The old external things such as riches, and honour and worldly knowledge are no longer that important. And now there is a new way of life, a better way of life that is real life. It is a life that considers others better than ourselves, a life of thankfulness and grati-tude, and a life of peace and everlasting joy with the One who created us in the first place and creates us anew in our hearts. So it doesn’t matter if we grow old because as each day passes we get closer to the day that we will never grow old or tired, which is in heaven.

Change is good! Change is necessary! Je-sus said in Matthew 18:3,

“I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the king-dom of heaven.” In other words, unless you hum-ble yourself and put your complete faith and trust in Jesus, you will never change nor can you be with Him in heaven. Jesus never lied, nor could He ever lie, so I urge you to listen to Him.

This new year will you make the most important resolution of your life? Will you ask the Lord Je-sus Christ to change you forever? The moment you truly believe is the moment you are forever changed, having a new spiritual life that never grows old, but is new and fresh every morning. So what do you say? Is it out with the old and in with the new or is it the same old?

Food for the Soul: Out with the old, in with the new
