A popular book reading at Peachland’s art gallery ERIC HALL The Peachland Art Gallery was a busy place on Saturday afternoon. In a well-organized and well-attended event at the Art Gallery, several chapters were read from the book by Roger Ensign and his sister Geneva. The book “Alaska How I Miss You: Tales From Bushplane to Wheelchair” has a variety of interesting recollections from Roger Ensign’s travels around that state. The book cites that “Roger spent many years flying, and sometimes crashing, bush planes over the magnificent and haunting beauty of the Alaskan wilderness.” However, fifteen
years ago, a near-fatal accident, whilst on a tractor, left him in a wheelchair. But with the help of his sister Geneva and the love and support of his wife, Maxine, eighty-three year old Roger has been able to document many of his adventures. Geneva Ensign is an author and a founding member of the Westbank Writers’ Group. The Westbank Writers’ Group is very active and meets regularly at the Westbank Library. Many of those in attendance on Saturday were from the Writers’ Group and West Kelowna Mayor Gord Milsom and Councillor Carol Zanon were also present. Roger’s stories involve

hunting expeditions for moose, bear, and sheep. According to the information on the book’s back cover, “encounters with grizzlies and inexperienced fishermen abound in these pages. Roger was also a chauffeur, a fisherman, a logger, a fishing guide, a preacher, a husband, a father, a good friend and brother to co-author Geneva Ensign.” The book reading on Saturday showed the determination of a man faced with huge challenges. It also demonstrated the power of family support in making the best of difficult circumstances. In expressing gratitude to his wife, Maxine, Roger has a few words to say about marriage in his book. “A man should be sensitive to his wife’s needs, her interests and her desires. Of course, the opposite is true as well for the woman. If you can be aware of and respect each other, then I think you can pretty much work together.” Wise words from a man who has lived a full and interesting life. If you are interested in getting a copy of Roger’s book, it can be ordered online through Amazon.

Taxing issues dominate council discussions ERIC HALL At Tuesday’s 9am council committee meeting, several issues arose that could result in increased taxes. The first presentation was from Scott Shepherd of Urban Systems about asset management. Peachland taxpayers first started paying asset renewal taxes in 2016. These taxes were the result of new directions given to local governments to set aside money for the replacement or repair of assets. Whilst the province is involved in giving grants to fund new capital projects, the expectation is that local government will pay to fix what they already have. For tax purposes Peachland’s assets are divided into three categories - general, water and sewer. The general category includes roads,
vehicles, buildings and drainage. In 2019 the taxes were $106.78 for general, $46.40 for water and $16.06 for sewer for a total of $169.24. This tax is levied as a parcel tax so it is the same for each household rather than being based on assessed values. The three separate taxes are shown on the annual tax notice under local services. Shepherd told council that the value of the assets had increased substantially since the last calculations and an increase in taxes was necessary to maintain appropriate reserves. Peachland has collected these taxes for the last four years and has about $2 million in reserves. Shepherd’s report to council suggested increasing the asset renewal taxes by $50.73 to a new total of $219.97. Members of council accepted the report so it can be reviewed as part of the budget discussions.
Proposal for a full-time bylaw enforcement officer ERIC HALL
which includes wages, benefits and equipment charge outs. However members of council were not eager to commit new funds in advance of full budget discussions about other expenses. Councillor Condon was the first to respond to the request and said that he would need much more information before he could support the proposal. He also suggested that bylaw enforcement on a complaint basis was working and the seasonal contract was appropriate. Other members of council expressed similar views and the recommendation was not supported.
Peachland Director of Planning, Darin Schaal, made a request of Council for a $60,000 increase in the cost of bylaw enforcement. An early budget approval request was presented to council at Tuesday’s 9am committee meeting but was not supported by members of council. The proposal was to change the current part-time seasonal bylaw enforcement services contract to a full-time permanent staff position. The existing contract costs Peachland $25,000 a year. The new position costs are estimated at $85,000

Will you be registering your secondary suite? ERIC HALL Peachland council, in 2016, introduced a policy to register secondary suites. And, in December 2019, they passed an update to that policy to deal with the registration process. As of January 2020, 59 property owners have applied to register a suite; 22 for existing suites and 37 for new suites. Of those, 22 applications were successfully completed and 5 were withdrawn. So what are the costs of registering a suite? There is an application fee of $150 and an annual license fee of $56. In addition there are extra water and sewer taxes; a 40% increase on the base fees. If you fail to register your suite, Peachland now has a policy to charge you a $500 per day penalty! When they passed the policy update, members of council correctly questioned whether it would be reasonable or legally possible to collect the penalty charges. According to staff, the reason for the suite registration policy was that “Licensing of existing and new suites promotes safe affordable housing opportunities within Peachland”. The main objective is to ensure that the suites are safe and properly constructed and conform to the BC building code. Fire safety was the primary concern of members of council. The detailed requirements of legalising suites are available on Peachland’s website, but few people are aware of that. Required upgrades may well cost several thousand dollars. They include interconnected smoke alarms, additional drywall firewalls, carbon monoxide alarms and smoke detectors in the heating system. Members of council did not ask the Peachland fire chief how many house fires have been caused by problems with suites. That certainly would be interesting information not just for council but also for public awareness. We moved from Surrey to Peachland 20 years ago and at that time Surrey had 23 registered suites and about 20,000 unregistered suites! They tried a policy of enforcement but it was a failure. In the end they added extra fees to properties which they assumed had suites with the option for home owners to allow inspections to prove that they did not have a suite. So why did so many residents in Surrey not want to register their suites? Some suites were rented for cash and the income was not reported for tax purposes. Some people could not afford the cost of upgrading their suites to comply with the building code. Some people just did not want the government to tell them what they could do in their own home. In Peachland, staff time has been spent on preparing the policy and more staff time will be spent on enforcement; so there are significant costs with this policy. What problem are we solving with this expense? Certainly there is a safety issue but shouldn’t we be able to make up our own minds on that? And if the enforcement results in fewer suites being available is that not defeating the original stated objective of the policy? One issue that council members highlighted was the need for anyone with a suite to make sure that their insurance company is aware of the situation. If your home insurance company does not know about your suite, the reality is that you may not have home insurance!

From the mayor’s desk: Climate change can be cold too Hello fellow Peachlanders! Well, we made it through the January cold snap. You know it’s cold out when your Husky doesn’t even want to venture outside. Not when it was -16 C, with a wind chill of -25 C, anyway Thumbs up to those brave Mayor Cindy Fortin souls I spotted every day not letting the frigid weather stop them from getting out and doing their walks along Centennial Walkway. While many of us participated in the Polar Bear Dip on New Year’s Day, the weather was almost balmy then, compared to what was coming. Speaking of weather, at times I know that for some people the extreme cold temperatures only strengthens their belief that climate change doesn’t exist, despite all the scientific evidence. Maybe it’s just a case of uncertainty, or the fear of knowing the enormous challenge that reversing the effect, or, at the very least, slowing it down, presents. But it’s a challenge we can meet, if we set our minds to it. Why is it so cold? For a long time, Climate Change was referred to as “global warming,” and during months like this January, that term global warming is difficult for some people to grapple with. To quote from sections of the article, Forbes.com (2019//0/30): While a small but vocal minority of people might use the faulty logic of, “It’s cold where I am, therefore global warming isn’t real,” even school children know that weather isn’t climate. But these extreme cold snaps have gotten more severe in recent years, due to a combination of global warming and a phenomenon you’ve likely heard of: the polar vortex. The polar vortex is a large area of low pressure and cold air surrounding the Earth’s North and South poles. The term vortex refers to the counter-clockwise flow of air that helps keep the colder air close to the poles. (That is, counter-clockwise at the north pole; clockwise at the south pole.) When the vortex at the north pole becomes extremely weak, the high pressure zones found in the middle latitudes of Earth (where the westerlies [winds] are) can push toward the poles, displacing the cold air. This causes the polar vortex to move farther south. In addition, the jet stream buckles, and deviates towards more populous southern latitudes. As the cold, dry air from the poles comes in contact with warm, moist air of the mid-latitudes, you get a dramatic weather change that we conventionally refer to as a cold snap. (In recent years, this has gotten more extreme.) But how is global warming to blame? The answer is simple: because the phenomenon that causes the polar vortex to break down is known as sudden stratospheric warming, where the upper layers of the atmosphere increase in temperature…over a span of only a few days. The fact that there are land masses located where they are in the northern hemisphere means that as those land temperatures increase, they transport their heat to even more northern latitudes. These events destabilize the polar vortex, bringing cold air down into the mid-latitudes, and cause the extreme weather we’re experiencing now.
Hopefully, your eyes haven’t glazed over. I am not a scientist, so I hope you read the article which can better explain it in full. There are also mountains of other articles out there. On another note before I wrap up, the Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Change (MTFCC) is seeking nominations for the Third Annual Green Citizen award, to be presented at this spring’s Civic Awards Ceremony. In addition to being able to nominate an individual, this year nominations have opened it up to include a local group, organization or business that has demonstrated that they are taking on “green initiatives” as part of their daily practice. If you have an individual, local business,
group or organization in mind that you’d like to nominate, please email me at mayorfortin@peachland.ca (as soon as possible) and I will send you more information on the nomination process. Lastly, I’d like to express our heartfelt condolences to Councillor Keith Fielding on the recent passing of his lovely wife, Olive. Olive was a remarkable and caring, community-minded person, and she will be missed by many. Our thoughts are with Keith and his family at this difficult time. A Celebration of Life will take place at a later date. Mayor Cindy Fortin

IF YOU ARE still asking yourself if climate change is real, take PHOTOS RICHARD SMITH
ERIC HALL The major topic of discussion at Tuesday’s council committee meeting was climate change and how Peachland can respond. The process was initiated by a letter written by Mayor Cindy Fortin to Peachland’s Director of Planning services. The letter asks staff to write a proposal for a new staff position to deal with issues raised by the Mayor’s Task Force on Climate change (MTFCC). In her letter to staff, the Mayor states that “staff support to MTFCC has traditionally come from the planning department Assistant Planner position, and does so today. However given the significant planning related demands placed on the Assistant Planner, there is an important mismatch between the amount of time required for MTFCC staff support and that which is available.” In his initial report to council, Director of Planning, Darin Schaal, states that “the development of a position that encompasses climate change action is representative of the District’s core value to minimize the District’s climate impact.” In assessing the financial implications, the Director’s report states that as a result of preliminary discussions “the development of climate action initiatives are in the early stages and can be managed on a part-time basis; though a full-time position may be warranted in the future. Discussions then focused on identifying other complimentary staff services that are currently problematic due to limited staff resources in an effort to examine the possibility of a full-time position that could meet the request for support from MTFCC …” After the Mayor presented the proposal, councillor Fielding offered his support and suggested that the position could be filled in 2020 by adding a six month expense to the budget this year. Councillor Condon sug-

gested that, despite the importance of the issue, there was no money to pay for a new staff position. In response, our new Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Joe Mitchell, discussed the challenges of current staff workloads. He indicated that a new staff position could be justified and would involve many more responsibilities as well as climate change. He suggested that a full-time position would be easier to fill than part-time one and that Summerland has a management position responsible for action on climate change. Councillor Coolio added an interesting perspective to the climate change debate by asking members of council how they travelled to the meeting. He suggested that a good way to reduce climate change was to use public transport or car pooling instead of a personal vehicle. He asked the question that if we don’t use those options, how can we be serious about climate change. Councillor Kent said that he could not support the request for a new position until more information was available. Councillor Van Minsel agreed adding that the budget was going to be a tough process. In response to these concerns, Mayor Fortin stressed the urgency of taking action to save the planet and said that climate change should be the number one priority. At that point, Councillor Fielding tried to put together a motion to accept the report in order to bring the issue forward to the budget process. Councillor Condon suggested that the report should address staff workloads and requirements generally. CAO Mitchell told council that he was only given three days to respond to the Mayor’s letter and more information will be presented to council. Members of council had trouble in finding the right words for a motion. In the end, the issue was sent forward to be discussed as part of the budget, when more information about staffing workloads would be available.

HEREFOR SENIORS Learn about the causes of adult hearing loss Hearing loss is quite common and can impact people’s lives in profound ways. Although there are some treatments that can improve one’s ability to hear and communicate, many people are interested in learning about the ways they may be able to prevent hearing loss in the first place. Medical experts from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association advise that hearing loss can be caused by different factors. Learning about these causes can help individuals make smart decisions at a young age to prevent future hearing loss when possible. In certain circumstances, hearing loss may be unavoidable. In such instances, audiologists, or doctors specializing in hearing, can help. Conductive hearing loss Conductive hearing loss refers to problems with the ear canal, ear drum or middle ear and its bones, states the Hearing Loss Association of America. Some of the causes of conductive hearing loss include: • Otitis media is an infection of the middle ear in which f luid accumulation can interfere with the movement of the eardrum and ossicles. • Impacted earwax also can cause hearing problems. • Fluid in the middle ear may obstruct hearing. • Otosclerosis, which is a middle ear disease, can make it difficult for the tiny bones in the middle ear to move. Surgery can correct the problem. • Malformation of the outer ear, ear canal or middle ear structure can impact hearing as well. Sensorineural hearing loss Sensorineural hearing loss, or SNHL, occurs due to problems of the in-

ner ear. It is often referred to as nerve-related hearing loss. • Aging is a common cause of hearing loss that may not be reversible. Age-related hearing loss is called presbycusis and is marked by muff led or unclear speech. Treatment with assistive hearing devices can help improve hearing. • Trauma to the ear or head may impact hearing. Wearing protective gear during sports or other activities can protect against neurological damage that may cause hearing loss. • Damage to the inner ear can result from prolonged exposure to loud noises, states the Mayo Clinic. These noises cause wear and tear on the hairs or nerve cells in the cochlea that send sound signals to the brain. When these hairs or nerve cells are damaged or missing, electrical signals aren’t transmitted as efficiently, and hearing loss occurs. Using hearing protection and turning down the volume can help. • Ménière’s disease is an inner ear problem of unknown origins. It usually starts in people between the ages of 30 and 50. Dizziness and ringing of the ear are common, and hearing loss comes and goes. Some loss can become permanent. • Viruses and diseases as well as family history also may play a role in SNHL. In some instances, hearing loss may be the result of a combination of factors. Anyone finding their hearing has become less acute should visit with an audiologist. One resource to visit is www.asha.org/profind. The doctor can then prescribe a treatment plan to help improve hearing. 5672 Beach Avenue, 250-767-9133 Office open Mon - Fri, 9:30-11:30 am

It is with deep sadness that we announce that Jim Gardner passed away January 11, 2020. Jim was born November 20, 1934 in Vancouver and grew up in West Vancouver until moving to Toronto to attend the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, graduating in 1958. He practiced for brief time in West Vancouver before changing to Pharmaceutical Sales then moving into a career in Medical Equipment Sales, where he prospered until his retirement in 1989. While attending College he met the love of his life Dawn Meacock and married in 1957 in West Vancouver. Shortly thereafter they were blessed with a daughter, Karen. They lived in West Vancouver, Calgary, Alberta, Oakville, Ontario and finally retired in Peachland, B.C. in 1989 where they lived for 23 years until 2012 when they moved to West Kelowna. Jim loved sports, coaching football in West Vancouver and Calgary, golfing, playing baseball and volleyball and of course Fly Fishing. Jim was predeceased by his Sister, Lois Jean Crowder; Father, James Yoemans Gardner and his Mother, Ethel May (Hughes) Gardner. Jim is survived by his wife Dawn, daughter Karen and Granddaughters Michiala and Taylor. As a family we would like to thank the staff of The Village of Smith Creek and a most special thanks to the Webber Unit Staff whose care, love, compassion and kindness can not be described in words. We thank you from the bottom of our Hearts. Jim’s big beautiful smile will be missed by all.

Peachland community police: Bike helmets prevent brain injuries GARY HEDGE
PEACHLAND COMMUNITY POLICE It may be winter in Peachland but very soon the snow will disappear and the kids will be back out on the streets riding their bikes or having fun at the skateboard park. With that in mind, the Peachland Community Police would like to remind all parents about the importance of their children wearing a bike helmet. In addition to the many services that the Peachland Community Police provides to the community, we also run a very important program in conjunction with Brain Trust Canada, that being the distribution of bike helmets to children whose families may not be able to afford one. Everyday there are 60 new cases of brain injuries reported in B.C. That is almost 22,000 new cases in this province every year. In Canada, there are 1.5 million individuals who are living with a brain injury and every three minutes someone is injured. This correlates to 165,000 brain injuries in Canada every year. The Peachland Community Police has been running a program in conjunction with Brain Trust Canada (Kelowna) and the Peachland Lions Club to educate and distribute bike helmets to children and young adults up to the age of 18. The Peachland Lions Club generously donated $1,000 to this important program. The District of Peachland also contributed a civic grant of $1,000 to Brain Trust Canada to help facilitate the program. The Peachland Community Police members, while out on patrol, look for children who are not wearing a helmet when riding bikes, skateboarding, etc. This is a very important program as 88 per cent of bike accidents do involve a brain injury and the community police members are trying to reduce these life altering accidents. The effects of these accidents can be profound, involving cognitive, physical, emotional and behavioural problems, all of which are preventable. It is very simple - just wear a helmet. The concept that wearing a helmet is not cool is a foolish notion. Manufacturers produce helmets in many styles, prices and colours. Professional skateboarders and
BMX riders will never be seen without a helmet. The main problem that our members have noticed is that the vast majority of children in Peachland wear bike helmets, but their parents do not. Parents need to set a better example for our youth. Brain injuries are not the sole domain of children. Anyone can sustain one. The Brain Trust Canada program is set up such that the Peachland Community Police members while patrolling look for children without helmets. If the child does not have a helmet or the family cannot afford one, the member will give the child a Brain Trust Canada coupon. This coupon is to be brought to the Peachland Community Police office located at 4440 5th Street, next to the Wellness Centre, at which time a community police member will fit and deliver a helmet to the child. There is a large selection of colours and sizes available. The parent must be present to sign for the free helmet. The goal of the Brain Trust program is to distribute helmets to families who cannot afford one as the program has limited funds and can only distribute helmets to those in need. Parents can also contact Brain Trust Canada (Kelowna) directly to obtain a helmet by calling them at 250-762-3233 or emailing info@braintrustcanada.com to inquire about the program. Peachland Community Police members will also be stopping to reward youths “caught” exhibiting safe biking habits by delivering a coupon for a slushy. These coupons are generously donated to the program by the Peachland Petro Canada station. Brain injury is invisible. On the outside, people with a brain injury can appear to be fully recovered. Meanwhile, they are still struggling internally with the effects of their injury. Recovery can be a long, sometimes lifelong journey. The impact of a brain injury is also felt by the family/caregivers. They too must adjust to the changes and challenges of post-injury life. On behalf of the Peachland Community Police, please wear a helmet while biking skateboarding, etc. and set an example for all children. Also, watch for our community police van as our members will be educating and rewarding kids who are wearing helmets this year.
