While jobs and economy, education, and environmental policies were among the important issues raised at last Wednesday’s all-candidates forum, it was issues around four-laning and the community’s desire for a bypass study that stole the show. In his opening statement Liberal candidate Dan Ashton was quick to address recent remarks he made to The View against a highway bypass around Peachland. “They were precautionary comments,” Ashton said. “I’ve heard loud and clear from many people in town as I’ve been doing my walkabouts how important that [bypass] study is and you have my word I’ll do everything possible to make sure that that gets up to government and through government as quickly as possible.” Concerns about four-laning throughout Peachland were voiced numerous times throughout the evening. John Abernethy, chair of the Highway 97 Task Force Society, asked the candidates if they would help motivate MOTI to study an alternate route. “I strongly believe this area should not have a highway running through it, similarly to what Westbank now has,” Conservative candidate Sean Upshaw said. “I would do everything that I can to make sure that all of the issues the city has would be address
fairly … as MLA, your representative in Victoria, it would be a high priority in the area, without a doubt.” BC First candidate Doug Maxwell said the highway should be done the way the people in Peachland want it to be done. “I certainly will work hard to ensure that highways seriously considers this concept. I can certainly see why you’d want the bypass,” NDP candidate Richard Cannings said, adding that tourists are not coming to Peachland because it’s close to the highway; they’re coming here because of the beautiful view and wonderful location. While Ashton did not go as far as to speak positively about about a bypass option, he did repeat that the bypass study “would be forefront to me to make sure it gets pushed through government as quickly as possible.” Among other questions posed to the candidates was one regarding the candidates’ stance on the legalization of marijuana. Both Cannings and Maxwell said they would be for the decriminalization of marijuana. Upshaw said B.C. should legalize it, and Ashton was not in favour of decriminalization or legalization. As well, Cannings said his party would conduct a comprehensive overhaul of B.C.’s archaic liquor laws to make it easier for the wine industry to do business. The B.C. general election will take place on May 14.

So I think the south Okanagan should push toward more ecotourism. They should push toward more clean energy like computer development. We should just work on what we have here. I have to reiterate we have to also work on what the other parties have created for a debt for us. It is a big hole to be in. Let’s start there. What do you think the province can do to help Peachland address issues with Highway 97 coming through town? I’ve heard different stories of coming through town or up through the connector.

“Hope for Ashton” Benefit and Talent Night Sunday, May 5 • 6.30 pm
Five year old Ashton Kintzinger has been diagnosed with Epilepsy and a rare Serine deficiency. Canadian doctors have prescribed various medications for both conditions. While helpful for a period of time, these medications don’t seem to work for long and doctors are running out of options. In the meantime, Ashton is rapidly losing ground physically and mentally as he struggles with side effects from his medical conditions and treatments. There is specialized testing and promising treatment available for Ashton in Switzerland that is not available in Canada. A total of $18,000 needs to be raised in order to send Ashton, with his mother, to the Swiss clinic. The family has raised $9000 on their own. “Hope for Ashton” is a church and community fundraiser to help Ashton and his family raise the other $9000. Talent includes Alexandra Babbel, Heidi Hewitt, the Grace Choir, and members of Grace Lutheran congregation. Coffee, tea, and desserts will be served.

What do you think needs to be done to move affordable seniors housing initiatives to fruition in Peachland? Affordable seniors housing initiatives? I’m sorry but I keep referring back to our debt. We have to work on the deficit so we can have more money and it is going to be painful and it is going to be hard to do but eventually we’ll have $2.5 billion by today’s dollars to spend on more initiatives. No politician really wants to be the guy saying these things but it is going to be painful for the next little while. Once we have some money ahead and we have a handle on our deficit and debt reduction then we’ll have a whole bunch more money to spend in the right places to develop more seniors housing. What can the province do to keep business strong in B.C.? What the province can do is expand upon all of the tourism issues we’re having right now. All of the different chambers of commerce should get together and make a provincial plan instead of each one individually or in addition to each one individually to try and grow this tourism business … The bigger thing is all of our large industry should do processing before anything leaves B.C. so anything that we mine or cut or pump from the ground should be value added before it leaves B.C.

Sean Upshaw, Conservative candidate What do you think needs to be done to bring more jobs to the area? First of all people need to understand that this is a great place to bring business and that would include not just Penticton and Summerland but Peachland as well. With so much business being focused around the internet and being about to telecommute and that kind of thing these days, it is possible to have people working right here in the community that are involved with larger entities, whether they be out of province or even out of the area. They can do that. But Peachland is a tourist town, so to speak. It has its limitations if I can put it that way as far as the industry is concerned because of the topography and stuff like that. I really believe that the provincial government as well as the federal government need to sit down with the politicians of this city and find out really what they believe is going to make a difference in their community and support them in it. What do you think the province can do to help Peachland address issues with Highway 97 coming through town? I think it’s really important. It’s a safety issue and we’ve seen that the province and the federal government have helped out in the riding of Vernon and Lake Country and they put the new bypass in. I’ve had my eye on that as well, thinking that it looked like a really good project. But not only does it look like a really good project, but it looks like it would bring safety and community to Peachland. I believe the city would like that [a bypass] if I’m reading the news reports correctly and listening to the voice of the locals. I think these things to be not only election issues, but they really need to be issues that are worked from day one, day two, so to speak, not just piled up to empty promises at the end … It needs to be looked at as a priority, as a whole for the area because people from Penticton are driving to Kelowna International Airport or Kelowna for different reasons so it really would benefit the

entire area. My answer would be to cooperate fully with the people that are in the know and that have been driving for this for years. What do you think needs to be done to move affordable seniors housing initiatives to fruition in Peachland? I don’t know a lot about the topic so I couldn’t accurately give you bullet points as to what should be done. I do know this: that you should have the ear of your MLA and that he should be willing to take those concerns to heart and then take them to task. What can the province do to keep business strong in B.C.? Get rid of the BC Liberal Party. That would be the first priority. They have had a scandal-ridden government that have misled the public about the jobs platform – 37,000 jobs have left British Columbia under Christy Clark’s government. We are ninth in the country as far as job creation so they’ve failed miserably. The thing is we need to get a government that really understands it’s not about electioneering. It’s not about promises. It’s not about prestige and publicity. It’s about the people. It’s about recognizing that it really has to be wound back to the basics so to speak so we can get this province moving again in the right direction without all of the deceit that’s been taking place. What sort of things do you think could be done provincially to further support the local arts community in a sustainable way? I think we need to recognize the value they have … There really is not a lot of provincial support for these creative geniuses, if I can put it that way. Art is the spirit, the soul of a community and when you do not fund it, when you do not do what you can to embellish, to promote it, then really what you do is take the joy out of society. So what would I do? I would certainly look at it and say, let’s recognize it for its value and it is not just value in the cultural sense but value in the

sense of being good for the finances of the area. For instance, you look at a city like Austin, Texas. It’s known for having festivals where people come from all over the place to participate in that. So it becomes an economic driver. There’s no reason why Peachland, Penticton, Summerland couldn’t have similar venues where people were coming and saying, “This is a cultural place.” So really what I am trying to say is look at the cultural tourism that is available as a result of the arts and recognize it for what it is. How do you envision provincial investment in providing sustainable funding for recreation facility infrastructure renewal? The reason they’re falling apart is we haven’t put a priority on community. The thing is, when we recognize the value of community, then we can recognize the importance of facilitating it. So how do I see the province helping out with that? Well, certainly because of the deficit payments that we’ve had to make, $66 million of interest if I can put it that way, that’s happening every year. Much of our dollars are being squandered and wasted on interest. So we need to get control of the whole financial picture and we need to scale back where we need to scale back and then we can prioritize on these types of things that are going to be the lifeblood and the heart and the soul of a community. It’s going to be a hard process. What can the province do to support communities in achieving the targets of the Climate Action Charter? It can understand at a local level what their individual concerns are. I don’t believe that the carbon tax is the answer to that. The BC Conservative Party would scrap the carbon tax and the reason I say that is because it is not actually helping do what it is supposed to do. It’s actually putting money in the wrong pockets. So what can the province do to help the green initiative? Well, support greener initiatives such as See SEAN UPSHAW on page 10

ritish Columbians have an opportunity to send a message to governments and politicians on May 14, when the province goes to the polls in this year’s general election. However, too many of us will squander that opportunity, for whatever reason. Maybe we feel like our vote doesn’t make a difference. Or maybe the options on offer (will that be a Big Mac or a Whopper?) don’t feel like options at all because the result is likely to be more or less the same. Or perhaps we don’t feel represented by any of the candidates. Christy Clark’s mandate to “put families first” sounds palatable enough, but think about what that really says. As a single person, she is effectively putting me second. Would you vote for a candidate who was putting middle-aged British Columbians first or putting (fill in any other demographic here) first if that group didn’t include you? Of course, Clark isn’t the only one sending that message. You would be hard pressed to find a candidate of any party who doesn’t use the words citizen and family interchangeably. While the system is far from perfect, that doesn’t mean we should give up on the process. Whatever misgivings I may have about our democratic process, the only way I’m going to have a chance of representation is to get out and vote. In my view, Canadians should follow the example set by Australia and make voting mandatory. However, that’s unlikely to happen in this country anytime soon because it would mean politicians would have to do a better job of representing people who aren’t voting now – namely young adults. Back in the 2008 general election only 37.4 per cent of 18 to 24-year-olds voted. That suits most politicians just fine. It gives them an opportunity to ignore investment in education and other issues relevant to young adults, because those issues aren’t top of mind with older adults.

Peachland Views What difference does it make who we vote for? The May election in B.C. is another political disaster in the makings. It should be an exciting time, because it should represent an opportunity to elect a productive and responsible government with the vision and commitment to re-ignite our stalled economy. But deep-rooted apathy has left voters wondering how to vote, already convinced there is not a party that meets their criteria in terms of honesty, transparency, and integrity, let alone political ideology. What difference does it make who we vote for, when we all know that the day after the election party discipline will dictate that the people we elected in good faith will be compelled to towing the line of the respective party and government leaders, or they will be turfed? What difference does it make, when the party that just formed the government will do like other parties have in the past - reward the corporations and organizations that paid for the election, and continue to screw the electorate? It is not that British Columbians are not smart voters. The problem is the electoral system does not allow us to vote smart. Our politicians insist they cannot govern without our outdated, dysfunctional and corrupt colonial elec-
toral system, and the electorate is forced to choose between two political parties that we have grown to loath beyond belief. It does not matter how intelligent the electorate is. If there is not a party or candidate you believe will honestly represent you and who is qualified to do the job, how can you possibly vote intelligently? The reality is we do not have an electoral system that can possibly represent the diverse cultural and political ideologies of the B.C. electorate. Millions of voters have given up. They are disillusioned, disgusted, disappointed, angry, and are not voting because they do not see a candidate on the ballot worthy of their vote, let alone a party that is remotely committed to represent them. The party system has collapsed. Party members no longer develop policies, they are written by party and government leaders on the fly between meetings and elections. We have democratic elections, but we do not have democratic governments. Our province is on the skids, and the voters are facing what seems like a political brick wall, knowing that about one-third of the voters will elect yet another government two-thirds of the voters absolutely do not want.

Not impressed with power disconnection To the people of Peachland and B.C. who care about our human rights: Last May, a BC Hydro representative came to my door and said our analogue was defective and he would be changing it out. I said that was fine, but I do not want a smart meter. He said he would be replacing it with another analogue. I never gave it another thought until the same man was walking off our property a few days later. I asked what he was doing and he said, “Checking your smart meter.” He then acknowledged what I had told him and passed it down the line to someone else who was responsible. I immediately phoned and have made numerous calls since to BC Hydro asking them to correct their deception, explaining my electromagnetic sensitivities and that I needed it removed. Nobody corrected anything. When Gary Murphy made a presentation to Peachland council and the public last July, he said nobody would be forced to take a smart meter that had concerns at this time. “Why was I forced?” I asked. He looked bewildered, said he would look into it, but

nothing was looked into. By this time, my health had deteriorated with frequent piercing headaches, neck aches, insomnia, considerable memory loss and I was always tired. By March of 2013, I researched and bought my own analogue meter that met all the ANCI-C12 requirements and was even given a two-year warranty from the company from which it originated, not over the internet as BC Hydro would like people to believe. On March 16, 2013, we made the switch, emailed Gary Murphy with the details, right down to pictures of the readings so that they didn’t think we were stealing power. Then the phone calls, visits and threats began. “Either another smart meter or no power.” I refuse to have a smart meter for my own health reasons and reasons beyond my own; that of my children and my grand children, all of which will incur health issues of their own as these electromagnetic frequencies will affect everyone and everything electrical in time. BC Hydro disconnected my power on April 17, 2013 at about 1:30 p.m. and it has yet to be reconnected. Deborah Stutters, Peachland

Highlights of the regional board meeting – April 22 Temporary use permit applications
The regional board has given conditional approval to three separate temporary use permits on three properties within the Central Okanagan East Electoral Area. The first application would see temporary living units established for 24 workers on a 4.01-hectare farm adjacent to Black Road. The second application proposes temporary accommodation for 18 migrant farm workers on a 7.28-hectare property adjacent to Old Vernon Road and Scotty Creek Road. The third application is from a proponent that wishes to establish an outdoor, recreational ropes course and zip line business on an 8-hectare portion of a 129.5-hectare property at 4675 June Springs Road. In each case, board support for the temporary use permits is contingent on the applicants meeting a number of conditions identified by the community services department.
January - March building statistics report
During the first three months of 2013, the re-
gional district approved 21 building permits for construction projects valued at $1.9 million in the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West Electoral Areas.

Nashville warbler
There are several varieties of warblers; they are small birds with bright colours, usually including yellow. The Nashville warbler is a casual and infrequent visitor to gardens; preferring forests and shrubby habitats. Their diet consists of mainly insects, especially caterpillars. They form monogamous pairs during the nesting season. The female builds the nest and incubates 4 - 5
eggs. The male feeds the female on the nest while she incubates. Both parents feed the young, which leave the nest 9 - 11 days after hatching. Although named for Nashville in Tennessee, this warbler only visits that area during migration. The yellow warbler is more common here and that bird has a yellow head rather than the grey head of the Nashville warbler. Marion Hall

Dispatches from the farm:
Wishful thinking Jordan Marr Special to the Peachland View Part of my maturation as a farmer and gardener has involved learning to recognize the difference between wishful thinking and its uglier first cousin, willful ignorance, while on the job. Some definitions are in order. Wishful thinking is a coping mechanism involving optimism that helps keep spirits up in challenging, anxious, or overwhelming circumstances. Willful ignorance is basically self-delusion enacted to avoid an undesirable eventuality. As he prepared for his first date with Vanessa, Jordan hoped it would go well enough to result in a kiss at the end of the night. Wishful thinking. As he ran out the door, late for his first date with Vanessa, Jordan realized he had forgotten to brush his teeth. He decided he was probably fine, despite having just consumed a garlic and poppy-seed muffin. Willful ignorance. Every farmer or garden-
er needs to engage in some wishful thinking to get through the tougher days. Most types of agriculture involve exerting control over natural variables that tend to be unpredictable and dynamic. Also, one of the main challenges of farming, and a potential impediment to actually enjoying it, is that no matter how hard you work, there always seems to be a longer list of things to do than there are hours in the week. You cope with both of those realities by reassuring yourself that the things you can’t control or didn’t get to will work out anyway (they often do). I don’t have time to cover these young transplants; hopefully we don’t get a frost tonight. There are a couple of small gaps in the fencing that the marmots could get through; hopefully they don’t find them. To think wishfully is to count on a little help from providence. What I’ve learned, though, is that providence is no doormat. She’ll often
come through on wishful thinking, but she draws the line at willful ignorance. I don’t have time to cover these young transplants and the forecast is calling for frost; hopefully we don’t get one tonight. You’re on your own, bub. I suppose another way of putting it is that providence is an indispensable tool to a farmer, but one that must be used judiciously. In the nascent years of my farming, it has taken me a long time, and lots of mistakes, to learn how to do that. I’m thankful those mistakes didn’t sink us in the process. And that Vanessa forgave the poppy seeds and garlic breath. I didn’t get that kiss though. Providence had nothing to do with that. Vanessa just has good sense. Jordan Marr grows veggies at The Homestead Organic Farm in Peachland and offers home delivery to area residents. For more information, visit thehomesteadorganicfarm.ca

a greener economy and by that I mean high tech. High tech doesn’t put out a lot of pollution. Tourism doesn’t put out a lot of pollution. How can we maximize the use of public buildings, such as schools, for community access? We recognize they are community buildings. If they have a dual-purpose use then the scheduling of the school activities and the scheduling of the community activities should all be worked in
concert together so that a building can be utilized 16 hours a day rather than just nine. What sets your platform apart from the other candidates? I’m not a career politician. I’m a person that believes that the average person is underrepresented in Victoria and I believe that that’s the problem. We need to have people that recognize the little guy is just as important as the big guy. A lot of politicians drive their campaign based on big issues and big issues are important, but there
BC VOTES

are so many little issues BC care VOTES that people about and this is why we have voter apathy. People look and say, “I went to the government and tried to get this solved or that solved and all I got basically was a brush off.” That’s because the politician failed to recognize who he’s serving. That’s what sets it apart. I’m not beholden to big business. Do I believe big business and small business is important? Absolutely. That’s the engine of our economy, but we should not be held hostage to its demands. The little man is still important.

in any given area want. So in this riding if the people in Peachland, Naramata, Summerland and Penticton need a certain thing and the majority of people want that, that’s where the money should go. The arts community is important because in history every dynasty is remembered by their art, not by anything else. It’s important but it has to take a backseat to debt and deficit. How do you envision provincial investment in providing sustainable funding for recreation facility infrastructure renewal? Again, I am a stuck record but infrastructure renewal has to be on an ongoing basis and the money has to be found for it but the infrastructure renewal. If we don’t catch up to it now it is going to be a lot worse than it is down the road. A good example is Dan Ashton is bragging about not raising taxes in Penticton but if he gets elected and
leaves, all of the sudden there is going to be a raise in taxes in Penticton. It’s inevitable, and he won’t be around in that case to suffer those consequences. So sometimes we have to bite the bullet and look at our finances before we can do different things, but [for] infrastructure renewal there is money available I know from the federal government to handle those things. What can the province do to support communities in achieving the targets of the Climate Action Charter? What can communities do? Communities can vote. The province can look at my BC First example and have the people in any riding tell us what they want and then we have to go and find the money for it, which is quite typical of today, but the money has to be there. There should be priority lists and it shouldn’t be prioritized along party lines. It should be prioritized the way people in
any give riding or any given town want them to be. How can we maximize the use of public buildings, such as schools, for community access? Schools should be used by as many groups as want to use them if they’re funded by the province. It’s really important to use that facility up to 24 hours a day as opposed to just five or six hours as we’re doing now. It would save us money to use that facility over and over again for different things as opposed to building another building for something else. Where is the money going to come from is again a thing I have said in the past on the other questions. We have to find the money to do those things and the first place to start is by looking at our financial situation and adjusting different lines and saying, “We found some money here, we found some money there.” What sets your platform apart from the
other candidates? Everything. Our platform is designed basically to eliminate party politics. Party politics seem to get in the way of good people running for government, for making good decisions based on what the electorate tells them, as opposed to what the premier and cabinet tell them to do. So if people are in power as an MLA in any given riding that have a
BC VOTES party behind them, then when it comes down to the squeeze they’ll vote the way the premier and cabinet tell them to and not the way the people of Peachland, Summerland, Naramata and Penticton want. Sometimes even the two will clash knowing it is not the best way to vote but they’ll vote that way anyway. So eliminating party politics is our biggest, biggest man-
2013
date. Things like limited election funding for individuals to no more than $1,000 – no corporations, no unions. So you’re not beholden to anybody at the end of the day. When you do that just the ordinary people who are well educated and have a good education can run for politics. Right now the money seems to dictate where the vote goes.

What are hearing tests like? I have an appointment for a hearing test. What will I be asked to do? Your hearing professional will take a short history, inspect your ear canals, check your middle ears and then
place you in a sound treated booth. You will respond to tones while you wear headphones. They will test frequencies across the speech range and then repeat the procedure with a bone vibrator placed on
the mastoid bone behind your ear. You will be asked to repeat lists of words in quiet and in noise. Your responses will be recorded on a graph or audiogram, which will show if you have hearing
loss. This information will help your hearing professional to form a treatment plan if hearing loss is present. It is recommended that all adults 50 years and older should have a baseline hearing test.

Help end polio now by joining teen-organized walk Judy Wyper Special to the Peachland View April was a month of decisions and action at the Peachland Wellness Centre (PWC). The board approved updates on all the policy and procedure handbooks. On April 20 we held our AGM, electing nine people to the board. Returning executive members are Judy Wyper (president), Barb Oleschuk (vice president), and Lisa Spalleck (secretary/treasurer). Returning board members at large are Doris Muhs, Peggy Worobetz, Lynn Malinsky, and Shu Gardner. New board members are Judy Cameron and Barbara Clark. Our only outgoing board member is Vicki Warner, who is moving to Sechelt. She will be sorely missed. Warner is well known for her successful facilitation of our bereavement group. We hear there is talk of bus trips to visit her, and Skyping some of the sessions. We shall see what we shall see. Our reading room is renovated and the official ribbon-cutting ceremony was held at the AGM, with Mayor Fielding doing the honours. Up to a dozen people worked on this project, each contributing their special skills. On April 26 we held a volunteer appreciation tea. It was well attended and was an opportunity for people to socialize, reconnect, consume tasty treats, and win some wonderful door prizes. The door prizes and much of the food were donated by local businesses and we appreciate this support. Donors give to the PWC so we can regift to our volunteers who spend time helping others in need and providing support to our programs. It is a wonderful chain of giving. The sun has been warming the community gardens in the PWC backyard. The beds have been dug and tilled with extra compost, and several have new plantings in them already. Soon we shall see the first shoots emerging, salads in the making. On Sunday, May 5, the PWC teen volunteers will hold another of their annual End Polio Now walks. The walk will start at Rotary Pavilion Square at 11:30 a.m. and will proceed along Centennial Walkway to Bliss Bakery and back. Arrive early to
register. The PWC teens will provide t-shirts to those who donate $10 or more. A ticket for a prize draw will be given for every $5 donation given. The prize draw will take place at the end of the walk. The purpose of the End Polio Now walk is to raise donations to help eradicate polio in developing countries. Every dollar raised represents one child that will receive the oral vaccine to prevent polio. All of the funds raised will be dispensed by Rotary International. The walk is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Peachland and members will be serving barbequed hot dogs and drinks for a donation. I encourage you to participate in this worthwhile event and have fun while supporting a worthy cause. The teen volunteers involve themselves many ways in our community. In November they sold books at the craft fair, and used the profits to buy gifts for an Adopt-A-Family project
through the food bank. In February they held a Valentines Senior Social at the PWC, served savoury snacks, held a crib tournament, and provided door prizes for participants. On May 11 the teen volunteers will be serving desserts at the Rotary dinner and dance. Each one of these teens is learning valuable skills through this program and contributing to the wellbeing of our community. On May 3 the PWC will be awarding 100hour pins to qualifying volunteers at the Peachland Civic Awards. Many community groups will be represented at this event, as we join together to honour the vital contributions that volunteers made in 2012. Come out and join the celebration. To contact the PWC, phone 250-767-0141, email wellnesscentre@ shaw.ca, check us out on Facebook or visit www. peachlandwellnesscentre. ca.
