Council approves developer request for roof style changes at Trails Place JOANNE LAYH

Room to Dance/15

If you’ve been up Ponderosa recently you may have noticed that some of the new builds in The Trails development have a different look from the first homes that were built.

That’s because a flaw in the original roof design led to roof leaks in some of the homes, send-

ing the new developer back to the drawing board with a new design for the remaining homes in the project.

At the July 9 committee of the whole meeting director of planning and development services Darin Schaal recommended council approve an amendment to a development permit to address changes to the form and character

of The Trails multiple residential project located at 4000 Trails Pl. The multiple residential project includes five buildings that are currently under construction as part of the final phase of The Trails multiple residential project, a multi-phase strata project at the top of Ponderosa Drive that when completed will comprise of 69 units over 17 buildings.

In memory of Greg Bell, we will be closing at 1:00 pm on Saturday July 20, 2019

The original development permit for the project, approved by council back in 2011, included a craftsman style roof. However, since then the ownership of the project has transferred to the current developer, who has returned with a west coast contemporary roof design, stating the design Continued on Page 3

shoreline management in the region.

Prior to their presentation to council last week, representatives from the Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program and the South Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Program sent a letter to the district requesting an expression of support from the municipality regarding the strategy. The programs have also sought the support of other agencies, local government or First Nations to foster regional collaboration and commitment for the project.

The goal of the strategy is to identify policies, regulations and best practices to enhance shoreline management across the various jurisdictions to protect water quality and environment values of Okanagan Lake.

According to the program’s manager Scott Boswell, the issue of shoreline management returned to the fore back in 2016 when the regionally supported Foreshore Inventory and Mapping (FIM) project was updated, revealing significant, cumulative losses of natural shoreline areas.

The FIM project allows stakeholders across the region to track information about the foreshore over time. Boswell says of the 290 km of shoreline, 41% remains in its natural state, though at the current rate of development,

the lake could be completely developed in the next 40 to 60 years.

Boswell says information gathered from the FIM project is great for local governments to use to set policies and recommendations they use to protect the local shoreline, which helps with protecting water quality, providing habitat for fish and wildlife as well as supplying a barrier for flooding and erosion control.

“We’re working with Okanagan Nation Alliance.

They’re very keen to work on this project with us. They want to look at developing an approach that integrates local governments and First Nations perspectives into a management plan - they would actually like to call it a responsibility plan - and looking at not just water protection but cultural values, recreational values, and of course, the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems,” Boswell said in a presentation to the Committee of the Whole on July 9.

He also identified the following next steps: • Establishing a formal, regional support for the project; • Collaboration with Okanagan Nation Alliance (ONA); and • Visioning process with ONA and local government, background research, policy analysis, and development of a framework for the strategy.

“Given that we’ve got an enormous number of municipalities, provincial and federal agencies looking at dealing on the lake, it does make sense to me that we have a single agency that negotiates a sustainable management practice for all of those communities on the lake that we share,” Councillor Terry Condon said.

Boswell says the program is likely to later expand to become a bit broader than looking at just the lake foreshore.

“Certainly the province is heavily regulating foreshore, but what about the uplands? Because that has a lot of impact on the foreshore, and how do we integrate upland planning with foreshore planning?”

As the lake is federally managed, Boswell says the Department of Fisheries and Oceans will be involved, “certainly because now there’s sockeye salmon in there and part of thing will be looking at the sockeye and the Chinook are banging at the doors to get over that falls too so soon we’ll have Chinook as well.”

“We appreciate you doing this because this is so vital,” Mayor Cindy Fortin said.

“I can see the real value in this project,” Councillor Keith Fielding said. “I hope it is successful and I’m curious about what the sort of final outcome might look like?”

Boswell responded that in the long term they would be looking at a really detailed strategy that could deal with all the issues affecting the lake.

Blaze significantly damages Desert Pines Avenue house JOANNE LAYH The homeowners of a Desert Pines Avenue house and their pets are safe after a blaze that began on the deck spread to inside the house last Tuesday evening.

Peachland Fire and Rescue received a call shortly before 7 p.m. about a deck fire possibly spreading through the house and responded with over 20 members and all of their apparatus.

“Our first arriving crews on scene noted the flames were already through the roof and had spread to the interior structure so that being said, with the fire already up into the attic made it a much more challenging and difficult fire to get a quick knockdown on,” Peachland fire chief Dennis Craig told The View. “Once a fire gets up into the roof space, it starts spreading along the top giving us very little access points to work the fire.”

Craig said there is significant damage to the house because once it gets up in the roof it spreads the whole length of the house. “There is no fire wall in an attic space in

a residential house so there is significant damage to the house. What’s not damaged by fire was just by sheer volume of water that we needed to put out the fire. There’s obviously smoke and water damage going right from the roof to the basement.”

The cause of the fire is still under investigation. As the fire began on the deck, that is where they will start to focus their investigation, Craig said, adding there is no reason to believe the fire to be suspicious.

The fire chief says the homeowners are insured.

change is necessary due to flaws discovered in the original plan.

In a communication to Peachland’s planning department, the developer contends that the original craftsman style design involved multiple pitched roof areas that lacked proper water drainage considerations, which resulted in water penetrating some of the buildings. Because of the roof leak activity, the developer states it would not have been possible to warrantee the new buildings had they continued with the existing roof design.

“Overall these changes are consistent with the official community plan development permit guidelines and they have incorporated quality

building materials and aesthetics,” Schaal told the committee, adding that the new design incorporates features that integrate it with the existing buildings.

“I wish more effort had gone into making it look more like the other ones with the steep roofs rather than the flat roofs and have the facades look more like the ones that are there,” Mayor Cindy Fortin said.

The recommendation was supported by the remaining members of council.

“I’m glad you addressed the issue with the previous roofline because I know there were a lot of leaks,” Councillor Pam Cunningham said to Schaal. “If this new design is going to prevent that [leakage] from happening again it’s good you’ve taken measures to correct it.”

Beach Ave Councillor Mike Kent said the design flaws in the original buildings appear to have been remedied with this design and beleives it allows the project to move forward to where they need it to go.

“It’s not necessarily a bad thing to have a variance in style as long as there’s some sort of connection established through the facades and materials being used on the outside of the buildings,” he went on to say.

Schaal says the strata is aware of the issues and supportive of the changes to the design because they want to see the project completed.

“You can imagine living next door to a construction site,” Schaal said. “You want to see it completed as well.”

TIM SHOULTS You’ve heard of urban legends, right? Like the lady who had a spider bite that turned into a nest of eggs that hatched under her skin, or the tale of the kid that died from drinking cola after swallowing Pop Rocks.

How about this one: “Nobody reads newspapers anymore.”

Like many urban legends, everybody’s heard it, and some people assume it must be true because they’ve heard it often enough.

Well, like Pop Rocks kid and spider-egg woman, it just isn’t so.

The debunker in this case is 2019 Newspapers 24/7 study, conducted by News Media Canada, the national organization representing more than 1,100 daily and community news media outlets across the country.

This study, the seventh annual one, was conducted in February 2019 across all provinces, in English and French and consists of 800 online interviews. It was designed to explore how Canadians read daily and community newspaper content, on different platforms and at different times during the day.

Since the first study back in 2012, there have been shifts in reading by platform but one thing has not changed: Canadians continue to access newspaper content across all the various platforms.

In 2012, 85 per cent of Canadians reported that they read newspapers on any platform,

over the course of a week and in 2019 that number has climbed to 88 per cent.

This year’s report also found that 83 per cent of newspaper readers are accessing at least some of their newspaper content online.

But that’s not replacing print readership, it’s supplementing it: the study found more than half of readers access newspaper content from both print and online sources.

The study found that readers from all demographics use multiple platforms – print, desktop/laptop computer, phone and tablet – to access newspaper content. Most print reading happens early in the day, while digital reading is more consistent from morning to night.

Which brings us to the other urban legend: millenials don’t read news. The research specifically looked at the newspaper reading habits of younger Canadians, and found that 88 of millennials (those born between 1982 and 1999) read newspapers weekly – the same percentage as the overall population.

The difference with this generation is how they access newspaper content – primarily through their mobile phones, and when they read – they peak early in the morning and are more consistent throughout the day, while Boomers peak in both the morning and again after dinner when reading news content.

And again, just because millennials read mostly on their phones doesn’t mean they’re

not reading print as well. The study found more than half of all millennial newspaper readers also read news in print – from 57% of all phone readers to 66% of all tablet readers.

Business decision makers are news junkies, with the highest percentage of readership throughout the day across all platforms, again peaking in the morning and after dinner.

“Both print and digital newspaper sources play a unique and distinct role in the lives of Canadians,” says Claude Heimann, the president of Totum Research, which conducted the study. “Readers start their day with the comprehensive and in-depth reporting of a print newspaper, and stay up-to-date on breaking news with digital as the day progresses.”

As Bob Cox, the chair of News Media Canada, says: “Given heightened levels of global mistrust, we’re seeing a clear and continued affinity for the reliable reporting that newspapers provide. Newspapers continue to be the go-to source for credible, trusted and independent news, in both print and digital formats.”

And unlike an urban legend, that’s something you can rely on.

Informative content should be read by all Thank you for this week’s informative Peachland View. The articles on road safety, the community policing and water issues presented in the paper were excellent and should be read by all.

Barry Silver, Peachland

Crosswalks for safety, not ideology I was talking with a friend this spring who was upset because his ten-year-old daughter came home from school asking, “Daddy, am I a girl?” I hope Peachland council will have the courage to not capitulate to the current fog of political correctness and further the sexual, gender and identity confusion now so prevalent. Crosswalks are a place for safety not social ideology.

James Statham, Peachland

Pride crosswalk: consider the cost covered I am writing in full support of Brian Williams’ letter to the editor in the July 12 edition of the Peachland View. My wife and I have owned a home in Peachland for the past 9 years, but only just moved to this lovely community to retire last year.

We researched communities from the Shuswap to Osoyoos, seeking a community that best aligned with our personal values and beliefs as to those characteristics that best depict a caring and supportive place to live (Peachlanders know what I mean).

A gay man once said to me, he “no more chose to be born homosexual than I chose to be born heterosexual”. This hit me like a lighting bolt and it really open-up my mind as to how ridiculous and uneducated my former thoughts on the LGBTQ community

were and just how unjustified I was to assume that only heterosexuals were normal people.

I am pleased to hear that Mayor Cindy Fortin, Mike Kent, Pam Cunnigham and Keith Fielding, “get it”.

These members of council have expressed support for Brian Williams’ request that the community of Peachland install a rainbow sidewalk crossing, that would reflect the caring and unbiased inclusivity that every town should be honoured to express.

If cost is a concern for council, then consider the cost covered by our family company, Active Living Enterprises Limited.

The annual battle against noxious weeds

CONTRIBUTED

WESTERN GOAT’S-BEARD IS considered one of the Central Okanagan’s biggest weed threats.

JOANNE LAYH Each year from spring to the first snowfall of winter, the Central Okanagan is inundated by invading species that choke out our native plants. This season the regional district is

once again encouraging property owners to take decisive action against noxious weeds and “get to the ‘root’ of the problem by cutting or pulling these plant threats,” according to RDCO communications officer Bruce Smith.

“Weed and invasive

plants are the ‘thorn’ in the side of every property owner,” Smith says.

“Some hide behind pretty flowers before letting thousands of seeds take to the wind to continue their assault. Still, others begin as a single stalk, shooting out roots that sprout and develop into weed clones elsewhere.”

The regional district’s noxious weed program encourages every property owner to arm themselves with information to help keep invasive weeds in check.

Residents interested in becoming ‘weed warriors’ can head to regionaldistrict.com/weeds or the Invasive Species Council of BC’s bcinvasives.ca to view photos of some of our most serious offenders. Residents can also find resources from Okanagan Invasive Species Online at oiso.ca.

Smith says a little information and knowledge can go a long way in identifying species that, if left

unchecked in our yards and properties, can prevent native plants from growing.

The regional district has identified Western Goat’s-Beard as one of the biggest weed threats.

Also on the hit list are Wild Mustard, Knapweeds, Puncturevine, Purple Loosestrife and the prickly members of the Thistle family, such

as Scotch Thistle.

The regional district’s Noxious Weed Control Bylaw is in force throughout the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West Electoral Areas, the City of Kelowna, District of Lake Country and District of Peachland.

The bylaw requires property owners to to prevent the growth of noxious weeds and tall grasses

and to provide for the cutting or destruction of noxious weeds and tall grasses. The bylaw also specifies the following: • Noxious weeds and grasses must be kept under 8 inches in height; and • Noxious weeds and grasses must be cut down and mulched, or otherwise destroyed and removed.

Three-vehicle collision causes traffic back up on highway JOANNE LAYH Traffic was backed up in Peachland along the highway last Monday morning following a three-vehicle collision that happened at Highway 97 and 13th Street.

The accident occurred when a Kia Sole failed to stop and consequently rear ended a Dodge Ram causing the Dodge Ram then to bump into an Acura TL in front of it.

“Damage to the initial vehicle that caused the damage was severe, therefore the vehicle was towed,” RCMP Caporal Meghan Foster said in an interview with The View.

RCMP received a report of the collision just after 9:15 a.m. Shortly after, Peachland Fire and Rescue Service attended the accident to assist RCMP. “Everybody was out of the vehicle when we got there. One driver was being treated for some minor injuries but she wasn’t transported,” Peachland fire chief Dennis Craig told The View. “The thing that we did mostly was keep traffic flowing on the highway and we were able to divert traffic around the accident scene and keep at least lane going in each direction.”

GUEST COLUMN

Highway 97 route options through Peachland to be announced soon THE HIGHWAY 97 TASK FORCE SOCIETY The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) has advised stakeholder groups that a public announcement regarding options for Highway 97 will be made soon. The following is a brief summary that answers the question “How did we get here?”

Mid-1960s: The ministry proposed a highway above the west side of Okanagan Lake, bypassing Peachland.

1984: Premier Bennett announced that Highway 97 from Penticton to Vernon would be four-laned.

January 1985: Plans for a bypass or four-lane through Peachland were presented and controversy began.

August 1985: Minister of

Transportation and Highways Alex Fraser committed that a Peachland bypass study would be done.

December 1987: Council asked MOTI to proceed with four-laning. The community was stunned!

1985 - 1988: Public meetings were held. Proposals were presented. Controversy continued.

November 1988: A government transportation report released that $7 billion would be spent on B.C. highways over the next decade. The Highway 97 section from Sicamous to the US border would be a priority.

November 1990: New designs for four-laning from Deep Creek to the top of Drought Road were presented and strongly rejected.

April 1991: A new set of drawings were presented.

Negotiations for right of way appropriations began.

November 1991: The BC Social Credit Party lost the election. All highway plans were put on hold.

November 1991: Town planners work around the fact that they do not know what will happen with our main traffic artery.

2006: The Peachland Economic Development Committee asked residents for input on important issues. A Highway 97 bypass around Peachland was again brought forward. This issue mattered to the community.

2007: The Highway 97 Task Force Society was formed.

Some members had been involved since the mid-1980s.

2008 2010: A three-year highway construction project four-laned Highway 97 between Summerland and Greata Ran ch.

2008 – 2014: Time marched

on. The Highway 97 Task Force Society lobbied MOTI for a bypass feasibility study as promised in 1985 by Minister of Transportation and Highways Alex Fraser.

Fall 2014: The Central Okanagan Planning Study was launched.

December 2015: MOTI began a two-year transportation study to look into Highway 97 improvements through or around the District of Peachland.

This is the study that The Highway 97 Task Force Society had been requesting.

2016: A Community Liaison Committee was established to reflect a cross-section of the Peachland community.

A Technical Advisory Group was established to identify opportunities, issues and concerns. The MOTI project team held meetings with both groups and other stakeholders including rep-

resentatives of the Highway 97 Task Force Society.

June 2016: At a public open house, some results of the Peachland Transportation Study, part of the Central Okanagan Planning Study, were shared with the public. MOTI asked for feedback from the community.

November 2016: Another open house was held and several possible options to improve the existing corridor were shared. MOTI continued to hold meetings with stakeholders.

Summer 2019: MOTI is to announce preferred op-

tion routes this summer.

According to a statement on the ministry’s website, “The current phase of the study is being finalized. It will identify two preferred options: one that uses the existing corridor and one that uses an alternate corridor. The public will have an opportunity to comment on the conclusions during the next phase of the study.”

Fishing Forever event is about making the outdoors accessible JOANNE LAYH For persons with disabilities, accessing the great outdoors isn’t always easy.

The BC Wildlife Federation recognized that 30 years ago when they launched Fishing Forever, an annual event that provides an opportunity where people with disabilities can learn, or continue, to fish and enjoy the outdoors. More than 10 years ago, the Peachland Sportsmen’s Association joined up with the wildlife federation to bring Fishing Forever to Peachland, and it has been a much enjoyed tradition ever since.

In an interview with The View, Peachland Sportsmen’s Association representative Al Springer said often persons with disabilities experience difficulty getting into boats and even if they can, it can be awkward for them, which is why the event in Heritage Park is so important in helping more people access the lake to fish.

The event is free of charge and the sportsmen’s association will supply rods, tackle and bait to participants, as well as some advice from experienced fishers, if desired.

“There are a lot of fish in the lake but we don’t catch every kind,” Springer said, adding that participants might have an opportunity to catch rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, lingcod or a couple varieties of white fish.

“We should be able to catch lingcod here because the water off of the north end of the pier, if you cast out about 30 feet, it’s 70 feet deep. It’s really deep, so that’s

where you get some of your bigger fish.”

Springer says the main fish they’re catching now are northern pikeminnows, which average about two pounds, though people catch fish of all sizes in this area.

Springer says the new pier at Heritage Park has made the lake much more accessible, so now persons with disabilities can go to the pier and fish any time they want.

Organizers of Fishing Forever find the event usually attracts a steady crowd of participants, but expect attendance to increase this year in response to the addition of the pier.

The word about Peachland’s pier has gotten out, and as a result the sportsmen’s association has fielded numerous calls from seniors homes in neighbouring communities enquiring about how PHOTO AL SPRINGER their residents can make use of the new amenity.

“It’s a very easy to get to place. That’s the whole idea of the pier,” Springer said. “It’s the only one in the Okanagan. There’s nothing else like it.”

Fishing Forever will take place on July 20 beginning at 11 a.m. at Heritage Park. The Peachland Lions Club will be at the event to provide a complimentary hamburger and hot dog barbecue for participants.

The Peachland Sportsmen’s Association also hosts Family Fishing in Heritage Park every Wednesday evening in summer from 6 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. The event is open to everyone, there is no cost to participate and no license is required for children 15 and under.

PEACHLAND VIEW

Rotary concert series to close with Room to Dance JOANNE LAYH The Peachland Rotary Club’s annual Peace Concert series is set to close the season this Sunday with a performance by Room to Dance, a West Kelowna based band.

Husband and wife duo Andy and JC Plett have been performing together as Room to Dance for over 20 years.

The couple got their start in Kelowna as Country in the City, went on the road in 2000 and were touring Western Canada and the United States for a number of years, then spent some time Alberta, where they did a lot of wedding and corporate parties, before returning the Okanagan about three years ago. Somewhere in there, they changed their name to Room to Dance but the lineup has been the same over the years.

JC Plett says they would like to establish themselves as the go to live entertainment or party band in the region.

Over the years they’ve performed at casinos, lounges, clubs, stampede tents, living rooms, weddings, numerous dances and huge corporate event stages, as well as cruise ships.

Plett says audiences at the upcoming concert in Heritage Park can expect to hear songs they’ll recognize and be happy to hear.

“We are a mostly a dance band. We play to the crowd we have. We have a huge repertoire after all these years and we kind of use it all. Depending on the crowd we have,

that’s the kind music we choose,” Plett told The View.

The singer says they can play everything from oldies 1950s and 1960s rock and roll to hard rock. “I always say, ‘everything from Patsy Cline to Pat Benatar and Johnny Cash to AC/DC;’ it just really depends on the crowd. We play a lot of weddings so we play for people from eight to 80. I think our main talent is being able to read a crowd and knowing what to play for each crowd.”

JC’s partner Andy Plett plays guitar and both JC and Andy sing. “We use the best technology in backing tracks so we sound like a five-piece band.”

The audience at the upcoming Rotary Peace Concert can expect the cover band to play a mix of rock and roll oldies to classic rock and classic country and maybe some disco.

“We just play it by ear, see who comes out, and then we’ll shape the performance to the audience we get,” Plett says. “Not everybody wants to get up and dance but it’s usually the kind of music that people will want to get up and dance to or at the very least they’ll be tapping their toes. We play to the crowd and for the crowd.”

COMMUNITY

Room to Dance were the recipients of a 2017 Key Business Award for Performing Arts from the Greater Westside Board of Trade. They will perform the final Rotary Peace Concert of the season on July 21 at 6 p.m. in Heritage Park. Food service will be available at 5 p.m.
